SALEM LETTERS HAVE
THEIR PICTURES TOOK"
High School Pupils, CLerrians
and Common Folks All Go
On the Film

Fully GOO students of the high school
and fair representation of the Cher
rians appeared on the scene this morn
ing at IL O'Clock with hundreds of Sa-
lem citizens, all willing and anxious to
appear in the moving picture scene, of
taking the Oregon boosting letters from
the office of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company's office and
carrying them to the postoffice.
Despite the unfavorable weather,
they were not disappointed, as the
Pathe moving picture man was ON hand
and industriously turned She movie
camera crank as the pupils dropped in
their letters.
Another view was taken near High
street as the procession led by the Cher
rian band and Cherrians marched to-
wards the postoffice.
Many Cherrians as well as high school
students may now truthfully say that
they have appeared in the movies.
The scenes taken today will be shown
next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Although there were signs of rain, the
pictures were all taken with umbrel-
las down. The scenes will show the
thousands of letters mailed at the Of
flee of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company's office, as the students
and Cherrians were pressed into serv-
ice, carrying the baskets filled with
letters.
Although today's scene was the eli
max of letter writing week, yet the
management Of the Commercial club
urges that the good work 60 on, and
that if any eastern friends have been
overlooked, there is another day this
week and several in the weeks to come,
when letter may be the means of
bringing eastern folks to the william.

The Net Draws Tight
Around Mrs. MOhr

Providence, r. l., Jan. 21.-With his
testimony mistaken in material points,
George Heals, negro chauffeur, left
the stend today shortly before noon in
the trial of Mrs. c. Franklin Mohr,
charged, together with two negroes,
with the killing of her doctor husband.
Heals clung to his statement that
she had offered $4,000 for the murder.
Heals, probably will not be sentenced
under his nolo contendere plea for man.

is ended.
Mrs. Mohr appeared nervous again
today, though she evidently was less
concerned over Healis' statements than
she had been previously.
Occasionally she eyed him severely,
bnt for the most part she talked wthr
her attorneys.

To- Ouerc0ne Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemO
furnished by any druggist for 25c. Extra
large bottle, $1,00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of pimples, black
heads, rash, eczema, letter and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, zemo is an exceptional
remedy. 1t is not greasy, sticky or
watery and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for all skin troubles.

GARRISON MAY RESIGN

Washington, Jan. 21.-Rumors
were thick today that Secretary
of War Garrison is preparing to
resign because of i'll health and
the apparent failure of his con-
tiental army proposal. His inti-

the story. Garrison has been
suffering with grippe and stom-

Rennhlinan Reunion.

ever term may please the process OF unificaVon
OF the forces constituting the republican party
is actively operating in all sections OF the coun-
try and the selection OF the same time and place
for the convention OF the 'progressives party" is
the simple recognition Of an existing condition.
In Nebraska, perhaps more than in other states
the unificatlon has reached an advanced stage
and by the time the primary is at hand, II is
doubtful whether enough voters will still be ad-
herring to the third party to make any kind OF
showing With the more than 10000 votes reg
stered for Roosevelt in Nebraska in 1912 shrunk
TO about 5000 polled by the bullmoose candi-
dates in 1914. Il is unreasonable to look for, at
most. more than 5000 bullmoose votes in the
coming primary, so that sixteen national conven-
ton delegates so chosen would represent not to
exceed 200 constituents apiece. The bullmoos-
ers doubtless find this situation staring them in
the face also in other direct, vote states whose
primaries, as they come to be held. beginning
with Minnesota sixty days hence. should there
fore disclose the extent to which the unification
has already gone with the rank and file regard
less of the sparrng for position by the so-called
leaders
What has brought this all about is pointedly
explained by the Chicago Tribune when II says:
There can be no rational doubt OF the necessity
for reunion of what is. in fact despite the split OF
1912, the strength OF fundamental republicanism in
the nation. Internationally, view the situation,
there Is vital need for restoration of the aggressive
natonalism which has been the OF republican
policy from the birth the party out OF the travail
OF rebellion and disintegration. At such crisis OF its
history the country eonfronts there Is a call
for constructive action for the vigorous organization
OF the national energies for the leadership that builds
and moves courageousIy forward. We have had
enough and too much OF negative policies foreign and
domestic. Of evasion of vital issues. and of lofty
eralzaton gliding infrmity confusion OF purpose.
Having experienced another three years OF
democratic incompetency and inefficiency, the
country must look for its salvation to the united
forces of republicanism.

NORTH LOUP Neb., Jan. Ito the
Editor OF The Bee: II any person cares
to look over matters a little he may con-

RE was a democrat, OF course. and there
seemed TO be an intense desire to save
him. There was not much ink wasted on
petitions for an appointment. and we all
wondered how that one was saved. After
inquiring we came to ourselves and found
that Secretary of State Pancho villa
Weelum Geenings o. Brien. Prince Charles

need of petitions, They just said the
word and he was saved. Why under

Husrta. Wilson and the Future.


Victoriano Huerta's death finishes the chapter
NJ Mexican history so far as he was one OF the
chief actors. though It does not by any means
conclude the incident in which he and the presi-
dent OF the United States came so closely to-
aether. II matters not for the moment how
Huerta came to power in Mexico, for his offenses
and his good deeds alike have gone before
higher court What is OF interest is that our
president, who has talked so loudly about not
Quitting in" on the Mexicans did interfere to the
end that Huerta was not permitted to establish
himself in power. Direct Intervention could
scarcely have been more effective than the course
pursued by Mr.. Wilson in his refusal to deal with
Huerta as head OF the Mexican government.

was steadily pursued, until a process OF elimi-
nation forced a choice between Carranza and
villa. Little enough existed to distinguish be-
tween this pair. but by some diyination not as
yet disclosed. our president made his choice. One
was recognized and the other outlawed, despite
the oft-repeated assertion of President Wilson
that he would not NEEDLE in the affairs of the
Mexicans.

Apr. Arp Is either one OF those few
who allow their German sympathies to

was made use Of to write Just such a
letter for the very purpose OF injuring
the good standing Of German Americans
before the public. That should have
been obvious. and by giving the unusual
space to such a peculiar communication
you appear as in sympathy with the
general effect. especially since similar
lengthy communications are generally
blue penciled and emasculsted. This view
is apparently confirmed by an editorial
appearing on the same page when you
tried to discredit a certain party by the
statement that his education was made
in Germany because our American pub
lie schools were not good enough for
him." his parents having given him ad-
vantage of one or two years schooling

thrust from ambush, IN support OF which
