SALEM RESPONDING

ing, which serves as an indicator Of Sa-
lem Is progress in the drive 10 raise her
share of the prescribed national Red
Gross fund, ought TO have a pension,
or at least medal, from the city. There
is growing conviction among the Red
Cross workers that the big banner ought
to be presented after the campaign is
over, and so the chances are that that
flag, now in the making, will one day
in all its finished glory, be one Of the
historical relies of the Capital City; /;
beautifully symbolic record of Sa-
lem 5 loyalty; a visible proof of the
city's patriotism.
The Red Cross drive is now more
than half over, and more than half of
the seven stripes have been painted
the color Of liberty and humanity. There
is no doubt at all now that before the
drive is over the other half will bear
the same bIood-red hue. Salem always
has had a reputation for finishing what
she starts, and the captains and the
privates of the 10 Red Cross teams have
no intention Of letting next Monday IS
sun set on an unfinished flag.
The great bulk of the Red Cross
contributions so far have come from the
comparatively poor. A few of the very
rich have made large donations, but the
solicitors have received literally hun
dreds of gifts which represented 100
per cent of the donor Is entire capital.
On the other hand you would have to
look at some of the capitalists contri-
buttons with high powered microscope
to figure out what fraction of their
total wealth their contributions repre-
sented.
A notable instance of this yawning
contrast happened yesterday. One of
the solicitors called upon a widow and
her two daughters, living south of Sa-
lem. The widow has son already in
the volunteer army. Her only means of
support is small garden which she
planted and works herself. She has no
cash in hand, and none in sight, either,
until her garden truck ripens. Yet she
signed pledge card for $40; the first
installment to be paid when the can
neries open.
The next person this solicitor called
on was man whose fortune runs well
past the half million mark, and whose
account at the bank is one of
the largest in the city. After the So
licitor had spent half an hour eonvinc-
ing this leading citizen that he ought |
10 contribute something. and citing the
above instance of the widow IS mite. the |
better to convince him, our wealthy /
hero finally and reluctantly wrote out /
q check-for So. The solicitor s sense /
Of humor was too much fors him. He |
handed back the plutoerat's check with |
the remark that he wasn't prepared for /
such q shock of generosity. "The Red |
Cross expects people to be generous this
week, " said the comedian, "but there is
such thing as being too damn gen
srous, and we don't intend to take ad-

VIII Test the Law.
The women were charged with OBJ
structing traffic and told they would
have to appear later TO defend the
charge.
The police told the two women that
other charges might be made against
them, though they refused to say what
these might be. Pullman granted them
time to get counsel and they returned to
suffrage headquarters, where Miss
Burns declared police had violated her
rights, inasmuch as peaceful picketing
was proper and that it had been in eff
feet since January 8 without interfer-
ence
While the women were under arrest,
other women at the headquarters pre-
pared a denunciatory banner of canvas,
which could not be easily torn, but Miss
Alice Paul indicated that the picketing
would cease for the time being until
test had heen made of the present
case.
The reason for the police order to-
day became apparent when Miss Paul,
detailing her talk with Major Pullman,
admitted that she had said she wished
10 articulate the unrest in this country
on the suffrage question:" and that if
this effort to promote unrest embar-
rassed the president then the fault was
the government s and the women would
continue their work
"Did you tell Superintendent Pull
man you wanted to embarrass the presi-
dent 7" Miss Paul asked.
Yes she replied, then corrected
this sufficiently to explain that if her
efforts to express the nations unrest
on suffrage was embarrassing, they
would keep on with the embarrassment
