lem Rifle club of the national inter
club gallery competition for the sea
son of 1917, indicate that the Salem
shooters stand fairly well and above
the average, compared to those clubs
that have taken part in former shooting

show that Salem beat H. The highest
score was made by Washington, D. c.,
club with 9S7 out of a possible 1000.
Sidney, Ohio, scored 954 and Salem 9lO.
The eastern clubs made their high score
by using telescope sights which brings
the target within a range of about 40
feet The Salem club now has one Of
these telescope sights and in the next

Swiss PRODUCING Alcohol,

The great demand Tor calcium car
bide and the low cost of water power
in Switzerland have caused big in
crease of the application of the cleo
trio furnace for the production of this
commodity. The leading Swiss hydro
electric concerns, as we'll as concern
with its own big power stations at
Gampel, Viege, Thusis and Chevres,
have now finished their researches for
the production Of pure alcohol for in
dustrial purposes out Of calcium car
bide through treatment with hydro

sition of water.
AS the Industrial production and

more fitting for the nations birthday :?
We should be nation of athletes !;
there is no day better than July for
arousing the latent strength Of man
hood or exhibiting what is already de-
ve1oped. Surely the parks should ring
with the best music our bands can
produce. Men gifted with power to
sway the multitudes should this day
tell what the nation stands for and
pay tribute to those who are
Slow to smite and swift to spare,
Gentle and merciful and just!
Who, in the fear of God, do bear
The sword of power, a nations trust.
Today we are in need of a patri-
otism as great as that Of &c. The &C.
casion is different and the problem re-
quires greater wisdom in it's solution.
It is a satisfaction to remember that
the national sword has never been
lifted in conquest. The glory of the
starry flag is that she is an emblem of
freedom Of conscience, religion and
civil liberty. Except in the cause OF
humanity she has never been in battle
Not all that has been done under her
| is worthy of praise, but it is safe tC
say that few nations have a more I'M
selfish record.

NORWAY.

The burning Of the nickel factory at
Kristiansand took place under circum-
stances which were interesting, to say
the latest The Christiania, Tidens Tegn
had one of it's contributors ask the di-
rector of the factory if there was no way
of ''getting the country out Of the
tragical position of having Norwegian
seamen killed by means of Norwegian
nickel" The Tidens Tegn next ex-
planned that the nickel factory had
made contract to sell the entire pro-
duction to Germany for number Of
years, but that the government could
of course prohibit the expectation Of
nickel to Germany, where the nickel
was used in the manufacture of tOrpe'
does. The paper added that it did not
make much difference either way as to
the manufacture of torpedoes but even
the. smallest contribution by Norway
was humiliating to the Norwegian peo-
pie and an outrage to their best feel
ings. The next day the wires told that
the factory had been burnt down.
Polite burglars. A log cabin in the
woods near Mosjo, Ringerike, had
plainly been visited by burglars. The
door lock had been broken, and on the
table was a paper with the following
information: eve came here on a
dark evening and were unable to pro-
coed, so we had to break in. Hope
that the accompanying $1.35 will reach
the proper parties as thanks for the
use. Beg your pardon. Three gentle
men," The owners of the hut an
nounced that they too wished to thank
the burglars for their fine conduct. II
all burglars acted this way the repu.
tation of their trade would no doubt
| pass through a wonderful metanor
phosis.
Hundreds Of thousands Of Norwe
gians throughout the nation took part
in peaceful demonstrations June 6 de
handing governmental restriction or
food prices and continuance Of Nor
ways neutrality. There were $4,000
paraders in Christiania alone. A dep

OF nature and OF natures God entltle
them, decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the sepa-
ration.
THUS wrote Thomas Jefferson for
the Continental congress in the
Il famous Declaration of Independ-
ence. It was signed at Independence
ball, Philadelphia, July 4, 1776. With
the pealing Of old Liberty bell that
summer day the birth Of a new nation
was announced. Like her sturdy sons,
that nation was conceived in hardship.
Her heritage Of devotion to principle
was the noblest gift brought by the
Mayflower. Innate courage grew fear
less in the face of constant danger,
and her sons grew skillful by constant
toll. They craved not courtier favors
but demanded the right to develop
along the lines Of a new democracy the
nation then born. Contact with the
wilderness had taught them that
slaves
OF legendary virtue carved upon our faith
ers' graves.
For them to be convinced was as
though the thing had been decreed of
God. They were convinced and they
proclaimed their birthright by declar-
| ing their independence and then fight
strongest nations of the earth.
Nation Wholly Worthy.
| It Was inevitable that such a begin
! ming should produce nation of stall
warts. What they lacked in knightli-
ness they made up in manliness. De-
votion to principle left no room for
compromise with policy. The result was
people chosen by fitness for great
place in the economy of the worlds
progress.
At this season we celebrate the an
niversary of the nations birth. The
40 anniversaries since then have not
all been to our credit. We have turned
from the serious to the frivolous, the
national birthday has become carni-
val. In the name of patriotism all
kinds of follies have been permitted.
Instead of real honor to the nation the
day has been made an occasion for
gain. People have made for themselves
hardship in vain attempt to have
more noise than their neighbors make.
Fitting Celebrations.
But we rejoice in the change to be
noticed in the way of observing the
nations birthday. People are begin
ming to see that noise is not patriotic
and that the youth of the present need
a better ideal of Independence day

FINLAND.

The social democrats in the Finnish
landtdag and senate are working on
reforms intended to ameliorate the con-
dition of the Jews in Finland. Their
condition has been deplorable ever
since the good old days, when Finland
belonged to Sweden. The Swedish laws
We're good because the Swedes were
always kind to the Jews, but after the
russian domination of Finland the
Jews lost their citizenship and until
the present revolution were able to live
only six months consecutively in one
Finnish town. Then they had to move
on and were obliged 20 ask the govern
or where they sho.id go. If the gov
ernOr refused to grant them permission
the Jews were obliged to leave the
country. The Finnish reforms in hand
include measures to make the senate
responsible to the landtdag, where fer
merly the senate was responsible only
to the Russian emperor. 1t also is
proposed to separate the supreme Ju
-licial power from the senate and es-
tablish an absolutely independent su-
preme court, thus removing the uncer
tainty long felt in Finland as to the
purity of justice. Whenever a senate
member is accused of malfeasance he
is to be brought before tribunal COM
prising II members of the landtdag.
The new measures also propose the
granting to the landtdag of the right
of real interpretations, which the gov
eminent must answer. Since 1907 the
government has never answered one
Of the many interpretations that have
been made. The Fastening of the COM
plete prohibition Of the liquor traffic is
in prospect. Despite there salutary
measures the Helsingfors Huvudstads-
bladet bitterly arraigns the social dem
ocrats, saying the discomfort with them
is rising because they are enlisting
rowdies as police and calling the Rus
sian soldiers to act against the Finnish
citizens. It says the social democrats
have no respect for private rights and
says they are as bad as any time, con-

In addition to it's tragedy, the situa-
ton in the Finnish town of Abo, popu-
lation $4,000, whsre the strikers have
seized control, is developing comic
opera features. The town council had
q meeting to consider the situation, but
there was no quorum, whereupon the
strikers elected SO new councillors
from their own ranks, whom the old
councillors refused to recognize. The
strikers then locked the old councillors
in the city hall under the guard of sc
cossacks, saying, 'Now stay there un
til you can think out plan for coop

does not inflame or even irritate the

can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit Of pain or soreness.

SWEDEN.

Hjalmar Branting, the socialist
leader, asked in the riksdag June 5
whether the government was prepared
to proceed with revision of the consti-
tuition, abolishiug the graded franchise
in municipalities and giving women the
riksdag franchise. NJ. WennerstrOem,
Socialist, inquired whether the govern
ment would enforce payment of higher
wages for laborers, shorter work day
and "a political reorganization, includ-
ing thorough constitutional reforms by
which the peoples demand for demo-
cratic reforms shall be granted as soon
as possible" The answer of Premier
Swartz to all the questions was quail
lied negative. The present political
situation, he said, demanded that the
ministry give it's chief attention to for
eign relations so that importations of
foodstuffs and raw material should be
assured. The cabinet hoped internal
questions could await solution after
the crisis. The question Of abolishing
property qualifications and other re-
strictions of the municipal franchise,
the premier continued, deeply affected
communal rights and taxation, and had
been rejected by the present session.
The premier further pointed out that
a new election of members of the Sec
ond chamber would be held shortly,
giving the people an opportunity to
register it's will. For days the left So
sialists had been urging the workers
to quit and demonstrate before
the riksdag building when the above
was taking place inside.
