The pacifist organization, whose

in the despatch of state troops to Chi

As interest in the "peace doves
declined, it vcered to the situation con-
fronting the mayor, who defied Govern
or Lowden by ordering police protec-
tion for the People IS Council after the
governor had banned them.
Following a conference here last
night with Adiutant General Dickson,

Springfield Governor Lowden issued
a statement to the American people in
which he branded the People 5 Council
as a reasonable conspiracy
''lf we lose this war, real free speech
will be lost and this society, which
now claims the privilege, will contrib
ute to that result, - he said. "What

Miss Alma Ashby, second assistant
city librarian, who has been spending

turned home yesterday evening and
this morning resumed her duties at the
library. She reports having had very
enjoyable time. During her stay in the
southern state she visited in San Fran

terest. AT Fresno she found the wealth
er sweltering hot and thermometer
registering as high as l03 and 104. She
states that at one time it jumped to
100. At San Francisco, however, she
found the weather much more pleasant.
In fact, she says she was much taken
with San Francisco and the cities
around the bay.
She witnessed some of the exciting
times during the present strike when
street ears were smashed and it was
dangerous to travel unless protected
from flying bricks. She tried to visit
the Preside but could not gain admit
tance' She says the government has
taken over Sutro park, and the bluffs
overlooking the famous Cliff house, but
nothing has been said as to what will
be done on the site.

in northern Michigan waters when the

first train for Chicago and arrived
early today. After reading the govern

affair and began planning indictment
of the mayor on charges of palpable
omission of duty The citizens war
board will be asked to take similar ac-

COMMERCIAL CLUB
WANTS LOCKS OPENED
Passes Resolutions to This Ef-
feet and Urges Other Bodies
to Do the Same

There seems to be some hitch rela-
tive to the proposed work of deepening
the channel of lock No l at Oregon
City. 1t seems that the materials are
on the ground and crews ready to be-
gin work, but nothing is being done on
account of some influence holding up
the work whereby boats of larger size
could run between Salem and Portland
To bring this matter to the atten-
tion of the right authorities and to
also show Salem s interest in the deep
ened CHANNEL, the following resolutions
were passed by the directors of the
Salem Commercial club:
Whereas, water transportation on the
Willamette river has been hindered
of the water in lock No. /, Oregon
City locks; and
Whereas, strong water competition
to points south of Oregon City is for
this reason prevented; and
Whereas, the congress of the United
States has this year, through the eff
forts of Congressman w. c. Hawley
the sum of $4,000, to cor
rect the fault; and
Whereas, the government has a crew
and equipment now ready to prosecute
this work; and
Whereas, efforts are being made to
prevent the United States engineers
from doing the work provided for by
said appropriation for reasons which
do not appear to be for the greatest
good to the greatest number;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that
the Commercial club of Salem at a
meeting of the board of directors. duly
strongly recommend that the
United States engineers this season do
the work as scheduled and for which

Resolved, that certified copy of

WHITE SOX HAVE CINCH
RED ABOUT OUT OF IT
Willard Says He VIII Meet
Fulton Soon As the Circus
Season Is Over
(By H. G. Hamiltonl

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 4.-Due to the be-
lated efforts of the New York Yankees
the White Sox today are so far in the
van in the scrap for Ban Johnston Is
pennant that only near miracle can
now keep Charley Komiskey from cash
ing in big stack of blues.
Evidently the Yankees thought it all
over and decided to help their brother
Polo Grounders. Knowing that a series
between New York and Chicago would
be the next best thing to a series be-
tween the Yankees and the Cubs, they
went into the thing with such gusto that
they corralled two games in a single
DAY, almost as many as it is their habit
to win in week. AT the same fine,
the White Sox stepped on the Tigers
for two moro victories and are now
leading the procession by six and
half games.
10 win the pennant now the Red Sox
will have to inaugurate a streak of win
nlng that will account for nearly every
one OF their remaining % games. The
White Sox have 20 games left on their
schedule, so about all they have to
worry about is an even break. gss
On September 81 the two teams will
meet in their farewell appearance of
the season on the Boston battle-ground.
1t is not indicated now, but the Red
Sox may draw close enough to make it
decidedly interesting for the pale hose
at that time. That 8 about the only in
dication of pep left in the American
league circle at the present writing.

Death IS Natural, Then Why
Be Afraid of Death?

They were discussing death, a
little group of men all of them in
the best of health, and the glory
of living. Men OF the world, in a
sense, and enjoying life to It's ut.
most, the subject Of death was
introduced by the announcement
that widely known man with
whom all of them has been ao-
quainted, had passed away.
One of the party said be hated
to think of death, that he WAS
actually afraid to think of it. He
80 loved life that death seemed a
terrible enemy, aud be would
like to escape it, Bnt the philos-
opher of the party-only he was
not known as alphilosopher nntil
he delivered his little parchment
Said he could not understand
suoh an attitude toward death.
II am not afraid of anything
that is NATURAL" be said. ut is
the unnatural that alarms me-"
1t would be unnatural to live
forever, and l would hate to be
sentenced to suoh a punishment
but death is natural: l am not
afraid of it. Billions OF people
have died; they are dying every
day. Every soul on earth must
pass away; even the trees and
plants die. Little children have
died and old men and women,
and the birds and beasts, all pass
away, and the fishes in the
streams, and every living thing
upon the earth is to die. Why
then, should a great hulk of a
chap like myself, one who has
had and is having his time, why
should | fear death?
Not afrsld of that which is
naturall If only all of US could
understand that the natural is
good, and the unnatural bad,
what splendid world it would
be for everything and every body.
