Jews in the National Guard, which
was begun by Adjutant General

week and dealt with conditions in
the Second Field Artillery and the

Most Of the officers of both regi-

TO RAISE FUND IN MEMORY
OF SCHECHTER.

AT the Commencement Exercises

in New York, last Sunday, the void
that has been created by the lament
able death of DR.. Schechter, the
head of the institution, was felt by

It was announced that in his mem
DRY, a fund of 100000 was to be
created to endow the Seminary and
to establish it firmly as memorial
to the great scholar who worked 50
earnestly for the welfare of Ameri-
can Jewry. All the friends and
disciples of DR.. Schechter will have
the opportunity to subscribe to this
fund. The Rabbis who have grad
uated from the Seminary have
pledged themselves to raise in their
various communities the sum of
$4,000 this to be in the form of
pledges that are to be paid in several
installments between now and the
end of 1916.
In contributing to this fund.- the

One hundred and nineteen Jewish
young men and women in Yikater-

Russian Orthodox Church within the
last twelve months.
The fact was brought to light in
the official bulletin of the local church
synod. Among the one hundred and
nineteen converts, there were sixty
four men and twenty-five women. The

people, only thirteen of them being
over thirty-hve In many other Rus

taken place.

always sets in after periods Of perse-
cution and moral and political disap-
pointment.

STRAW VOTE INDICATES WILSON'S ELECTION

The Oregonian has just completed taking straw vote
to the individual preference for president and gave
out the returns Sunday 1t states the votes taken
in office buildings industrial plants and hotel lobby
or two
The results are significant though Of course straw
vote is positive evidence because they taken largely
from two classes rather than from ALL Another
weakness of the straw vote in this especial case is that
apparently did not take into consideration the suffrage
vote, which generally favors Wilson
Out of S64 votes collected Wilson was the choice of
346; Hughes 297 Roosevelt 1856 Besides there 30
scattering votes for republicans including II for Henry
Ford socialist votes and three democratic for others
than Wilson 1t may be added that there were two votes
for Pancho Villa.
It will be seen that Wilson leads Hughes 40 votes and
Roosevelt 199 The combined vote Of Hughes and Roose
vet is 103 than the Wilson vote If it could be con-
cededthat the great majority of the Roosevelt votes
would 90 Hughes it would make the straw vote rather
against Wilson; but this be done?
1t is generally conceded that if the Roosevelt following
is to 90 into the republican camp man strongly progress
sve and satisfactory to the progressves must be named
There is but one such and that is Roosevelt II ne is
nominated there will be considerable fraction of repub
hcanS OF the old guard who will not support hm prefer
ring Wilson to the man who they think betrayed them
This element will strongly object to rewarding political
ngrattude by giving the migrate the highest gift at their
command as a reward
The result from whatever angle it is viewed points to
Wilson as the next president In the columns of the
same issue of the OregOnan account OF straw vote
taken here in Salem which points still more strongly to
Wilson For hour the pedestrians passing the corner
of State and Commercial streets asked to express
their preference for president and 84 did Of these 40
were for Wilson, % for Hughes and IA for Roosevelt
Besides these there were four scattering republican votes
and four socialist In this vote Wilson got the num-
ber as Hughes Roosevelt and all other republicans COM

fairness and its results presented its readers in the same

Polk VIII Have Still

Apple Acres company met early in the

places on Sunday to investigate the
possibilities of peppermint farming.
There are a number of successful pep
permint projects in that country and
the local men found things here at
least equally suited to the culture of
this crop Recently those interested
attended a meeting at which an ex-
perienced peppermint farmer presided
and they are convinced that the crop
can be grown successfully here.
As starter twelve acres of pep.
permint will be set out at once by the
Apple Acres company on its land east

The regular chapel services were dis
pensed with this morning and the time
turned over to Lieutenant NJ Swartz-
kopensky, formerly a body guard to
the car of Russia He told of the
conditions in Russia under which the
ignorant masses duell and how progress
is impossible under the present condi,
tions; since the government is all pow
erful and the voice of the common peo-
pie is suppressed.
The right of freedom of speech, free
press and liberty is denied to the Rus
sian people because the Orthodox
church and the Russian government are
closely linked together.
Another reason that the Russian peo-
pie cannot stand together and present a
united front is that they hate each 9th
er; Russian people are made up of many
tribes, there are 254 dialects in Rus
sia, and consequently there is continual
strife between themselves.

of representatives Of the people, has
