The Band Question.
( * * \ x = Il y 4 x \ 4 & 4 x \

| noticed with much disgust, the ac-
ton taken by the Salem Military
Band and their attempt to stop the
progressive Salem Street Car Band, a
promising musical organization of en-
thusiastic young musicians who after
nine months of hard study during their
few spare hours they have to them
selves, have begun to accomplish some
thing that is credit to themselves as
well as to the credit of the city Of
Salem.
1t is shame that Mr., Graber and
his associates should see fit to take
such action, He, as musician, should
encourage such musical organizations
which means much to the progressive
ness of musical Salem, but on the
contrary, he and his associates through
greed or jealousy or probably both, are
using every available method to dis
courage every musical organization eX.
cepting their own.
They received $500 a year from the
tax payers of Salem for the few con
certs rendered in the park, which can
assure them, are greatly appreciated
but if their services are needed for a
progressive movement such as enter
tanning visitors from our rural dis
tricts and neighboring towns, they
charge such unreasonable sums that il
makes it impossible to secure their
with enough boosting spirit and inter
est in the welfare Of Salem to par
ticipate in such celebration.
Nearly every member Of the Salem
services, and yet, they will not allow
another organization who are possessed

Editor Capital journal; recently
read an article in one of the local
papers which not only interested but
greatly amused me- 1t was concerning
the last meeting of the Salem board of
education and their decision about the
presentation of a play by the Senior
class Of the High school.
The article stated that the class
wished to put on their play in the
opera house in order that they might
raise money for their annual commence
ment expenses. The school board after
discussing the wonderful accoutrements
provided in the local school building
for such purposes, decided that it
would be waste of money for the
seniors to spend forty dollars for the
rental of the opera house.

Catholic Federation Gives Immigration
 Problem Attention

Toledo, O., Aug. 18.-The immigra- ton question largely occupied the at tention of the delegates to the annual convention of the American Fedora ton of Catholic Societies here today, a number of speakers discussing the problem al a social service mass meet ing in the Coliseum.
 Charles E. Fay, president of the Common Cause Society, of Boston, spoke of the +'Difficulties and Dan gers of the Catholic Immigrant There has been, he said, a great deal of scientific analysis of the innigra- ton question, and there was more need for action than for figures. He said:
 'HThe welfare of the immigrant and able. If we fall, they shall fall, and they shall stand if we do. Men are becoming more and more restless and discontented with everything. The masses of Europe and the masses of CTS and teachers on subjects that are fundamental in importance. / False hood, in the name of philosophy and politics, of religion, progress and science, has made entry into millions of minds. /
 Socialism is example. Here i've have, as Bebel says, a philosophy of life entering into every phrase of human activity movement not adequately .comprehended by ten per cent of its membership; a school of thought founded by Atheists of Athe-

ism, involving necessarily the fatal i ism, despotic and blasphemy that such a foundation demands It is an econmoic absurdity, a political mon
 strosity and philosophic lunacy- And yet, with the godly outside often worn by falsehood, it approaches not only the immigrant who may have heard of it at home, but the native as well, with fair promise of happiness and freedom when the people receive the rewards for their labors. What given by the average agitator we are all aware ;and we are aware also of the real significance of the move ment; notwithstanding the probably good intentions of some of it's vic tims.'
 The speaker told of the. success of mass meetings held in the Boston Archdiocese to expose socialistic teachings. He said that the state scretary of the Socialist party in | Massac chusetts in his recent annual report had announced that because of the work of the Common Cause Society, which had grown up in Bos- ton to offset socialist activities, a
 number of the socialist local organi-
 cations had died out

When the time arrives for the se- lection of the man who is to fill the position only one name will be con- sidered, that of Detective George Arnold. He is practically sure of the unanimous appointment, for the committee said last evening that they would never favor the cerat1on of the office if it was not intended for George Arnold to fill it. President Atwater and Commissioner Near both agreed that no other name but Ar nold's had been considered for the position. They both spoke in the highest terms of the years of valua- ble service rendered by George/Ar- mold, claiming that he was certainly deserving of appoiRtm ent to the new berth.
