my dear girl" he said, 81 am glad
that you have brought this up, because
we may as well settle it now as at any
other time. You know that for years
we have been doing this sort of thing
every Christmas. About this time we
both declare that we won't give each
other anything; then, just before
Christmas, we sneak out, and each OF
US buys the other present, This year
it will be the same. We will promise
faithfully not to do it; but, just as sure
as fate, we shall break our word"
In view of this alarming fact, that
yearly habit, what have you to sug-
gest?"
Simply this-that we each of US
agree now to buy the other present"
Il know that you will get me some
thing | don't want!"
And l know that you will do the
same; but isn't that what we have
been doing all along?"
Then l don't see that we have
gained anything"
Haven't we? Why not? Aren't we
doing it openly? Think of the moral
uplift!"
Mrs. Whittier shook her head.
Il don't agree with you," she said
Il think it would be much better for
US to select ourselves the presents we
want. If you like, you can come with
me while / get mine"
Nonsense! That won't do at all. 1t
Is absolutely necessary for us to carry
out the element OF surprise. There is
some sneaking, contemplate trait in
human nature which makes us want
once a year, to surprise others. That
Is at the basis Of all Christmas giving
It's kind of impulsive, irresponsible
attitude which impels us to buy some
thing that we delude ourselves into
believing the recipient is crazy for;
while all the time we ought to know
that it's probably the last thing on
earth he or she wants. Would you rob
US both of this fiendish pleasure?
Never! The only thing to do is to be
natural. / therefore announce to you

MATTER OF PENALTY IS
OVERLOOKED IN SALEM
Ordinance Providing Punishment Tor
Sale of Gift Of Liquor Intro
duced Finally in Council.
FROM $25 TO 800 FINE
FOR VIOLATION OF Law
Nothing But State Law Requiring Lii
cense to Prevent Sale of Liquor
Here at Present Time.

That the city of salem has had moth.
ing in its statutes providing for the
punishment of the pan who sells or
gives liquor away developed at the
meeting of the council last night when
an ordinance was introduced providing
for a fine Of net less than $25 nor
more than 800. The question came w
following the arrest of young man
named Perry few days ago. Perry,
it seems, went to blind pigger and
purchased bottle of whisky for 4
paroled convict. His case was con-
tinued after it developed that all that
stood between liquor and the consumer
in Salem was the state law requiring
a license.
The ordinance, in accordance with
the vote of December l, makes it an of.
fense to give away liquor This ap-
plies to residences as well as anywhere
else, 1t was explained when Councilman
Brown raised the question.
The ordinance was referred to the
committee on health and police and
a report will be made Monday night.
In, the meantime, If someone wishes
to give a thirsty friend drink, there
is nothing on the city books to gve
him any punishment.

MOTHER JONES TO TESTIFY
GOVERNOR OF COLORADO BOWS
TO AUTHORITY OF CONGRESS,
BUT MAKES SUGGESTIONS.
[uNIrrp pnEss IEAsrp KrRn.l

Trinidad, Colo, Feb. 17.-Governor
Ammons, Of Colorado, bowed today to
congress authority The striking coal
miners representatives wanted "Moth-
er" Jones brought as a witness before
the congressional committee investigat-
ing conditions in the coal fields of the
state. The committee men wanted to
hear her testimony. They nothified the
governor of their wishes, and the gov
ernor yielded.
"Will you direct the military author
tiles to bring Mother Jones before
this committee for examinationF" was
the query of Chairman Foster, of the
committee, telegraphed to the governor
81 will obey your wishes" was the
governors response, "but prefer that
you subpoena her here after you return
to Denver or see her at the hospital, to
avaoid the possibility of trouble. Letter
follOws.D
His answer was taken ais intimating
plainly that he had no idea of defying
the national legislature s authority.
Foster has not decided whether to sum
mon the witness at once or to await the
arrival of the governors letter.
Charles Morton, strikebreaker, tes-
titled that he came to the Colorado coal
mining country from Pennsylvania be-
cause conditions and wages were better
in the west. He said he was opposed to
unionism, that the conduct of the sol
diers stationed at Berwind was all that
could have been desired, and that no
one interferred with him.
Sam Irons, a striker, asserted that the
superintendent of the Rugby mine pre-
vented him from getting his mail, and
Lebo Pedri, another striker told the
investigators that officials of the min.
ing companies have been the only
school trustees the district has had in
five years.

INDIAN WARDS MISTREATED
AND THEIR FUNDS MISUSED
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. I

San Francisco, Feb. 17.-Charges that
the Indian wards of the United States
government on the Covelo reservation,
in Mendicino county, California, were
being brutally mistreated and their
funds misused were made before United
States Judge Maurice Dooling here to-
day by the Rev. F. G. Collett, field sec
retary Of the Indian board Of co-opera-
tion. The charges were voiced during
the arraignment of three young Indians,
charged with burning down the new
government school house on the reser-
walton erected at a cost of $4,000,
Collett charged that the Indians set
fire to the school house in a spirit of re-
venge, after they had been stripped
naked and flogged until they bled
from head to foot, because of some trif-
ling misconduct. He declared that these
beatings were frequent and that the
funds of the reservation, appropriated
for the care of the Indians, were not be-
ing properly used,

TOO MUCH FEEBLE THINKING.

Addressing meeting held in the l..
M. C. A. Hall in Oakland a former
councilman of that city declared that if
he were on a jury he would never vote
to convict man who was drunk when
he committed the crime proved against
him.
This is specimen of that short
sighted unreason which inspires so
many of the prevalent utterances about
crime and criminals.
Setting aside the fact that a juror
who refuse to convict man Of crime
of which he had been clearly proven
guilty, would himself commit the helm
Gus crime of false swearing, the rea-
son why the law refuses to allow drunk
enness to be pleaded in excuse is as
evident as it is wise,
If it were no offense to commit
crime while drunk, any man who medi-
tated robbery, assault or murder would
simply fill himself full Of whisky and
start out blthely on his errand. No
body's life would be safe if murder
was no crime, provided that the muir
derer had loaded himself with enough
liquor.
1t is astonishing how few men and
women, comparatively speaking, know
how to think straight. Much more than
half of the oratory and writing Of the
day is just such illogical flufdub as
that we have quoted.

MINERS WIFE SAYS GUNMEN
CAUSED HER CHILD'S DEATH
[uN1rEp Press IrAsEp w1RE.l

Hancock, Mich, Feb. 17.-Her face
wet with tears, Mrs. Margaret Cibaceca
a striking miners wife, testified
today before the congressional COM
mittee of inquiry into conditions in the
Michigan copper reigon. She accused
gunmen in the mine owners service of
responsibility for her four months old
baby's death recently.
For some reason, she said, she was
never able to learn, the gunner, she
asserted, arrested her, beat her with a
club, held her captive for several hours
and forced her to accompany them on
long automobile trip to Houghton,
carrying her baby in her arms. The ex-
pOsure, she added, killed it a few days
later
"My husband tried to find out what
had DONE" concluded the witness
"but he couldn' t and the prosecutor
said there was nothing he could do. "
