You'd better let them alone.
Mr.. Merriwell was set in his pur-

Mr.. Merriwell's appointment was for
the densely populated eleventh ward.
He found awaiting him probably a
thousand Lithuanians, Czechs, Hun

AS soon as he mounted the goods

bowed in his most pleasing manner.

Mr.. Merriwell smiled benevolently

Mr.. Merriwell did not cease to
smile benevolently. He raised his
large fat hand, palm outstretched
for silence. 1t was well that he did
so. In his early days Mr. Merriwell
had been a splendid sand-lot base
ball artist The outstretched hand
Was just in time to seize and neatly
hold a far-hung turnip.

Mr.. Merriwell. In an effort to be
funny and carry the crowd, bit into
the turnip. Days had passed since
it had been good turnip He
frowned and choked and spat all
over a swarthy Siciiicfan directly
beneath him.
"Ah, looka ouat. Spitta lika da

one.

both hands and began anew. The

piano. The crowd clapped hands in
glee. A hundred young Americans
in the making danced and shouted
about the street piano. Someone
kicked the box on which Mr. Merri-
we'll stood wildly gesticulating into
the crowd he sprawled. BY the time
Mr.. Merriwell reached the car line
his face resembled a water-splashed
checkerboard.

tenderly dressed his wounds"

QUESTIONS WOMEN'S RIGHT
TO SIGN PETITIONS

Whether it is lawful for women to
sign recall petitions is the question
which has been submitted to Attor-
ney- General Crawford, together with
other questions relating to the peti-
tions filed with the school board
asking for the recall of School Trus-
tee Millard.
The petition was filed with the
board last Saturday, and referred TO
the attorney for the school district
for his consideration as to its legali-
ty. Finding that some 25 or 30 wo-
men had signed the petition, he
passed the legal phase, as well as the
Others, up to the attorney-general.
The law says that in recall petitions
25 per cent of the voters voting for
the members of the supreme court
shall be required as signers before
the petition is valid. In this state
women are not allowed to vote, and
hence the question Of the legality OF
their signatures.

Impressed with the merits of the

and believing that it is far superior
to the form of government in vogue
in Salem, Councilman Elliott last
evening, at the meeting of the city
council, presented resolution,
signed by all of the councilmen save
two, requesting that the city attor-
ney be instructed to draw charter
for a commission form of govern
ment for Salem.
There was no discussion indulged
in with relation to the motion, and 1t

Gilman Elliott moved that copies OF
the resolution be sent to the Busi-
ness Mems League and the Board OF
Trade, so that these bodies, should
they see fit, may appoint commit

In drafting a charter. The resolution
provides for the appointment OF a
committee by the council, but none
was appointed last evening. The two
councilmen who did not sign the
resolution were Councilmen Durbin
and Moffitt, and Councilman Elliott
assigned as the reason that they had
not been given an opportunity to dc
so, The resolution is as follows:
