JUDGE GALLOWAY
DECIDES SUIT FOR
THE CITY OF SALEM
IN COURT STREET CONTESTANTS PROCEEDINGS WERE
REGULAR AND THE MUNICIPALITY HAD JURISDICTION-WILSON
AVENUE is PUBLIC PARK-COURT STREET is ONE OF THE FIN
EST PAVED STREETS THE STATE

Judge VIM. Galloway in the circuit
court for Marion county, department
No. 2, today decided the suit of Geo.
l.. Rose, Chas. K. Spaulding, B. C.
Miles, Frank E. Smith, Willis S. Dun
niway, Alice w. Buren and John G..
Barr Co., a corporation, plaintiffs, VS..
The City of Salem, a municipal cor,
poration, W. A. Moores, recorder, and
d. w. Gibson, City Marshal, of the
said City of Salem, defendants.
The Decision in Full.
On February l, 1909, the city coun-
Gil authorized publication of notice of
intention to improve Court street in
said City of Salem with Warren
Brothers Bitulithic waterproof
pavement from the West line OF
Church stree to the West line of
Twelfth street in said city, including
intersections, said improvements to
be made in accordance with the plans
and specifications on file in the Office
of the city recorder.
On February Is, about two weeks
thereafter, there was filed in the Of
flee of the city recorder written re-
monstrance by the owners of prop
erty abutting on said Court street, be-
tween Church and Twelfth streets
against the pavement of said street
as advertised, which remonstrance is
in words and figures as follows:
The RemOnstrance.
We, the undersigned, property
owners of the City of Salem, owning
property on Court street between the
west side of Church street and the
west side of Twelfth street in said
city, do hereby demonstrate against
the pavement of said street as adver-
tised in the Daily Oregon Statesman
on February 3rd, 1909, with bitulithiC
pavement. We believe that within II
months 1t will be shown that pave
ment equal to bitulithic in every re.
spect can be laid at a cost less thar
one-third of the cost of bitulithic. We
assert that the present cost of btu
lithic is exorbitant and far above 6
reasonable advance upon the cost an(
fair profit. 1t is an unreasonable
burden to be placed upon the owners
of residence property.
We are not opposed to paving
Court street, and hereby assert oul
willingness to accept bitulithic
should the result of the coming veal
fail to demonstrate that equally as
good pavement can be laid at a very
much lower cost. This remonstrancC
is not designed to defeat the paving
of Court street, but in the firm belle
that short delay will enable us tt
secure the said pavement at cos
less burdensome to the city and it,
property owners.

Woes of Plaintiffs.

ride the said remonstrance, the de

Criminals Executed

There are comparatively few homi-
 cides in Virginia, but those murders that we read about are usually of a
 most sensational sort,v said a member
 of Birmingham's Virginia colony. .'It
 has been some years since I lived in ! Virginia, and I haven't the criminal statistics of the state tshand, but from my recollection of criminal cases that have been tried during the past 36 years can say that few guilty individuals escaped. In Virginia every man of means and high social position who has committed murder has suffered the death penalty.
 "The object of infiicting the death penalty is, of course. to deter blood thirsty men from committing homicide. and believe the prompt trial and pun
 ishment of murderers in Virginia has had a marked effect. I cannot recall as many as a dozen cruel or fiendish murders in Virginia. Beattie. who was electrocuted last Friday, was one of the most conspicuous examples of the di- abolical murderer, and had he stopped to think a moment he might have known he would have been convicted and put to death. If murderers In Alabama were convicted and executed as promptly as they are in Virginia we would have fewer of them. Many me- groes are hanged in this state, but here in Jefferson county I do not believe that a resident white man tried. for murder has been hanged within the past IF years"

Coronation Dunbar at Delhi

When Queen Vitoria was crowned i'm 1887 India had not been supplied with railroads and cotton mills and various other accessories of western civilization, and the imperial idea had not been born at all. The good queen did not go to India, but today King George and Queen Mary are en route to Delhi, where the gorgeous corona tion durbar is to be held. It is ex- pected that the mirfEling of the na- tive prices with the British soldiery will produce a pageant never before equalled in this world. The Setting will be marble domes and minarets gilded by the eastern sun. The spec tacle will attract vast number of people, both natives and foreigners and it will assuredly go far to at tach India to the British throne.

Next Years Great Issue

Senator Boies Penrose, chairman
 of the finance committee of the Sen-
 ate, and successor of MT. Aldrich,
 has already announced that there will be no tariff legislation until
 1913. Like Mir. Aldrich, he is a
 standpatter and it is already plain that the entire standpat organization will place all the obstacles they can devise in the way of tariff reduction. They will not trust to vetoes of the President. They will endeavor to keep bills prescribing lower duties from going through the Senate.
 Nor is it at all certain that Chair man Penrose and the other out and out standpatters will accept any recommendation based on the report of the tariff board. They represent the atriff beeficiaries, and they pro- pose to stand by them at all times and under all circumstances.
 This opens the way for the straightforward work of Chairman Underwood and his associates. They stand pledged to reduce the tariff to a revenue basis, thereby opening the way to the removal of a vast taxation now laid on millions and tens of millions of consumers. Let the schedules be poured into the Sem ate until every one of the II stands revised.
 They may be defeated in the Sen ate, or they may be vetoed. Either tariff rates will be reduced or else an issue will be raised that all con- sumers will see and appreciate. Either there will be revenue tariff or else an issue will be presented that will sweep every tariff grafter, every supporter of protection for profit, out of every branch of the and the democrats will go into power pledged to give the country a traiff for revenue only. This is the issue for 1912, and there is small prospect indeed that it will be changed in any material respect.

REAL ARCADIA WAS ROUGH

c. II. Hanson, "The Land of Greece
 The later .Rome poets were wont to sneak of Arcadia as a smiling land, where grassy wales, watered by gentle and lucid streams. were inhabited by race of primitive and picturesque shep- herds and shepherdesses, who divided their time between tending their fiocks and making love to one another in the most tender and romantic fashion. This idyllic conception of the country and the people is not to be traced in the old Hellenic poets, who were better acquaint- ed with the actual facts. of the case. The Arcadians were sufficiently primitive, but there was very little that was grace ful or picturesque about their land or their lives.

AS A WOMAN DRESSES

From the Chicago Record-Herald
 ''Woman's power of resistence is much stronger than that of man."
 .'I have always thought 1t was tho other way.''
 "No, sir Suppose that the weather is very cold-that the mercury is away down near zero. A man puts on a pair of stockings that are as thin as the gauge which appears on the grass of 8 dewy morning. Then he sticks his feet into 8 pair of shoes that barely cover the soles Of his feet, leaving his insteps and ankles exposed. Let us suppose that his trousers are so short that they reach only a little moro than half way from his knees to his ankles. Do you imagine that big, warm huff into which he may thrust his hands will save him from pneu- lnonia or enable him to be perfectly com- fortable?'

Political Horoscope of 1912

q can't help thinking on the politi- cal horoscope of 1912 as compared with the political heavens in the campaign of 1S96," said man who takes much interest in national politics.
 Tt will be recalled that in 1896 the democratic party. lured by. the syrenic voice of Bryan and under the psycho- logical impulse of catchy phrasing- the cross of gold, the crown of thorns-- nominated him for President. MT Cleveland was then President. and be- ling opposed to the then free silver propaganda he did not hesitate to con spire for the defeat of the Bryan wing of the party. This was accomplished through the dummy candidacy o1 Gen.

NEW FICTION.
From the Washington Times.


 From the Washington Times. A/ read an old. one" Public " out" said Emerson, T l libraries are. to large extent the ba-
 rometers of the shifting tastes of a people, and the recent report of the librarian of the public library of the District of Columbia is full of interest. I In this report it is set forth that the demand for new fiction is falling off in
 marked degree. and that readers, in I increasing numbers, are turning to standard authors. For the fiscal year | 1909-10 the number of volumes of new | fiction circulated was 5000 less than for the preceding year, while the pres ent year shows a decrease of more than 26,ooO as compared with the year before.
 This means that in many instances | the attention of the reading public has turned, not away from fiction neces- sarily, but toward the masterpieces, sifted out by time which are generally alluded to as standard" It means, also, that there has arisen a keener intellectual taste, more sofia interest which embraces within it's range the literature which has to do with the searching and insistent problems of the day.
 Even the masses of the people have
 begun to realize that in this monday
 of scientific thought and investigation,
 when the laboratory is bringing before
 the very eyes the expounded mysteries
 of which the previous generation did
 not even dream. the man of culture
 cannot remain altogether ignorant of

Long and Short Hauls out West

The far western country IS deeply disturbed by a decision of the com- merce court concerning the long and short haul. The court does not de- clare the law unconstitutional, but it does declare that the interstate commerce commission has no power to make these rates relative-that is to say, to make one certain per cent of the other. It is authorised to fix rate absolutely in dollars and cents, not in percentages.
 This will give the interstate com merce commission more work to do, but beyond that it does not seem to be revolutionary or wildly unprece- dented. A preliminary injunction against the zone and percentage plan has been granted and permanent injunction will, no doubt, follow. The percentage plan was to have become effective November 15, but the pre- liminary injunction ties the matter up until it can be permanently de- termined.
 The question may have bearings elsewhere than in the intermountain country, but at present no one is giving it much attention except those for whom the percentage plan was devised.

UNDERWOOD GROWING

From the Cak Lear CHronlcle.

That old bogie is on the wanc anyhow, and has petered out ex- cepr among few of the very lowest ty pc of one horse politicians Underwood is not so well known in the state as some of the crying and bowling politi- clans because he has been industriously devoted to his duties as a congressman, and has not been in the junketing busi- ness. He is well known to the promi- nent men all over the country, and among them he is a favorite. Underwood has no enemies. He has conducted himself so as to be admired by all persons with whom he comes in contact.

Hunting Down a Money Trust

At the instance and suggestion of Mir. Baker, a retired capitalist of Baltimore, the government is said to be trying to find Money Trust in this country. MT. Baker attempted to secure capital with which to build 15 fine steamships and to establish an independent line from the Atlantic to the Pacific beyond the control of any railroad or any special interest.
 The railroads, however, were alarmed by the proposition-the transcontinental railroads-and it is claimed that they induced the Money Trust to refuse to furnish the fifteen millions needed to build the ships and to establish the new line. It is as- serted that the railroads and the banks all belong to the Money Trust that they are, in fact, the thing it. self.
 It is said the alleged Money Trus' is not only to be investigated, bu Congress is to be asked to aid thu establishment of an independent lin' of boats to ply the canal and to rul without change of any kind from thu ports of one sea to the ports of tn other sea. Possibly there will be movement to operate a governmen steamship service, for anything els might be crushed or starved out b, the railroads.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-11-27

From the Savannah News.
 MT. Oscar w. Underwood chairman of the ways and means committee. in an ad- dress before the Birmingham Chamber of | Commerce on Thursday night took strong grounds against the initiative, referendum and recall In these days when all sorts of remedies are being proposed for evils from which the people suffer, and when public men are all the while on the anx- ious seat fearful that they will miss the passing popular breeze, utterances of strong and patriotic men like Mir. Under wood are refreshing and steadying. It is too often the case that the politician is more concerned about retaining his office or in getting an office than he is about leading the people alright. He doesn't aim to find out what is for the public good
 but what will best serve his personal purposes.
 MT. Underwood is a man who does hls own thinking, and the impression he makes is that he would rather be right than popular Just now there is a strong belief in some parts of the country that the salvation of the republic depends upon 1 the initiative, referendum and recall. The people it Is claimed, should do the leg islating and their representatives should be relieved of all responsibility for it, and the judges should be deprived of their | independence. Mir. Underwood thinks
 that the founders of the republic went
 oyer this whole subject very carefully when they shaped the character Of the
 government and came to wise {. con- l clusion.
 l It may be true that in some local mat ters the initiative and referendum system 1 has worked out we'll but MT. Underwood
 thinks there is far less danger of nasty
 and ill considered legislation under the present system than that which it is pro-
 posed to substitute for it. and there are
 strong reasons for thinking he is right.
 The people haven't either the time or the | inclination to study carefully measures proposed for laws but their impressions
 of men are apt to be pretty nearly cor
 rect. If they will make it their duty to elect good men to office, men of integ-
 rity and ability, they will get more satis- factory results than by taking into their
 own hands the suggesting and making
 of tile laws. In the long run the people
 are bound to get what they want. What l is just and right and for the public good
 will eventually command the support oi
 the majority and there will always be g favorable response to the majorty's will The impression that MT. Underwood has
 made op the country is very strong. SC strong that the Sun of New York was led to say the other day, in discussing presidential or vice presidential possibili- ties, that 'as far as this particular south. | erner, MT. Oscar Underwood, is con- cerned, it is agreeable to note the absence
 of geography in the regard in which he is held in all parts of the union."

THE LURE OF THE AUTHOR

From the New York World. pg
 One wonders why so many novels are written. Yet consider the statement just made by the managers of the play adapt ed from Ben Hur.' They have paid $25O,O0O in royalties to the estate of its author and expect to pay as much more before the public tires of it. The book itself has had a sale of over million copies, never in a cheap form, and has probably earned another quarter of 8 million for the author.
 Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," a lltfe book of only 20.00O words, has paid

Business Conditions

"There is a much better feeling ir business circles in the east now than there was a month ago, or even two weeks ago." said William F. Rossiter of Buffalo, N.. Y. "The fall trade was fully as satisfactory as could be expected. There will probably be a good winter trade. With full crops next year the country should have normal volume of business. but no one is looking for a boom until after the presidential in- auguration in 1913. I am republican, but I am not so attached to my party but that I would not prefer to see a good level headed democrat, who is in touch with business principles, elected President over republican who is distrusted by the large business inter- ests"
