With one factory in Portland, the com

number of towns within few miles of
Salem, this city offered the greatest
advantages. Albany, Eugene, Corval-

Portland factory.
The near side stop has been adopted
by the greater number of street ear
systems throughout the country and
here is one instance in which Salem
will beat Portland to it. In all
street ears in Salem are posted no

August |, all ears will make the near
side stop, which means that the ear

1t is understood that an ordinance will
be passed by the Portland city eoun-

but it will hardly so into effect be-
fore September l. The near side stop
has been effective in reducing the
number of accidents and to reduce the

after August |, Salem people will be

He said his profit would be two cents l happened to have coppers in my pocket. I offered the lad the money He re- fused the offer He said If the paper is not worth five cents, and if you haven't got time to read it. l don't want my profit Now put that boy down in my mind a boy who is all wool and a yard wide If you want to become useful men, follow the example of the boy who insisted giving something in re- turn for what he received"

Oswald Willard New York City editor arguing for npreparedness, says an increase in the United States navy would mean added difficulty in bringing about international disarmament after the European has run it's course. Does Willard figure that the tendency at this time is toward disarmament? If that's his view he ought to take another squnt. We may favor disarmament and we may urge dis armament on other nations. But if, in spite of our peace foundations and pacatve arguments. the other nations continue increasingly, it is i'm possible to what is left for to do but make ready for possible eventualities. Anything less than honest readiness preserve peace and an adequate demonstration of the power and the will to enforce peace must be regarded failure in wise patrotism.
