Chester G. Murphy Of Portland who
is well known in Salem as the owner
of valuable real estate in the business
section Of the city worth from $4,000
to 100000, and also considerable real
estate in West Saleri, has been visiting

The Modern Way of
Practicing Dentistry
By DIR. PARKER


p EGlSTERED Dentists using the
- E. R. Parker System. practice
dentistry on the same principle as
leader conducts an orchestra.
A good orchestra consists of
yioliniSts, cornetists, trombonists,
clarinetists, flute-players, drummers
and all the rest, and when they play
together the result is harmonious
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1919-08-06

No man can be complete orchestra by himself.
Following that simple idea, the E. R. Parker System
recognizes that no man can be complete dental estab-
hShment by himself.
And so the Registered Dentists using the Parker
System are men who have been trained to do some one
kind of dental work particularly we'll by doing much
fit.
The kind of work your teeth require is done by the
dentist who trained in that kind of work. lust as the
man who knows how to play the violin is the man who
mas been trained to play the violin in an orchestra
Thus the dental work done under the Parker System
is as good as can be done anywhere
And the prices asked for this kind of work are more
than reasonable, for specialists lose no time and time
saved is mopey saved, and this saving is shared with
the patient
II you think that Dentistry under the Parker System
is done the right way come in, have your teeth ex-
ahmed ree and learn in advance how little the price
viii be for having your teeth properly cared for.

as very much that of the pieman
toward Simple simon-"show US first

republicans come forward with some
definite proposition of reservatloh'
declaring themselves ready then to
take it under advisement. If 1t Is
not too radical, If it is not beyond all
measure Objectionable to the Presl-
dent. and if the republicans can make
showing of strength to back their
own reservation. it is possible to put
it through.
Without official assurance of any
! kind to support them the democrats
engaged in the work of mediation and
compromise profess themselves cer-
tain of executive approval Of rea-
sonable plan of reservations to the

1t is expected that naturally Senator

ALI Depends on G. o. P. Argument
So. the whole case turns upon the
success of the republicans in agree

be proposed by them. And there is the
rub. Beginning with the group in
which Senators Borah, johnson and
Moses are prominent, who want abso-

through the larger group headed by
Senator Lodge, who want reservations
with teeth in them," until the last

Mr.. NIXON PREDICTS
. OWNERSHIP BY CITY
Commissioner for New York
Heard on Metropolitan
Traction Problem.

Municipal ownership Of the trans
portation system in New York city
is certain to come 'in the fullness of
time" Commissioner Lewis Nixon of
| that city told the Federal Electric
! Railways Commission today in review
ing the financial condition of the New
York traction lines.
AS an immediate remedy, he said a
, consolidation of all the underground,
elevated and surface lines under the
control of a single holding company
was advisable.
, AS matters now stand. the commits
sioner said, the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company will pass into a re-
ceivership before the first of next year
unless means to meet it's operating
expenses can be found. The Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company already is in
the hands of receiver. but the Sd
avenue system, he said. appears to be
getting along all right" for the pres
ent. :,
The New York city transportation
problem is of such staggering propor-
tfons, Mr.. Nixon said. that the capacity
of engineering skill in the United
States has not been able even to keep
pace with the cityS needs, much less
to build for the future.
Penalty for Exploitation"
Delos F. Wilcox of New York city
declared at yesterdays hearing that
American trolley lines are now paying
the penalty for exploitation by finan-
cial interests which came into con-
troll of them in the SOS. He followed
Mayor Gillen of Newark. N j., who
declared that the Newark transpor-
tation system labored under the bur-
den of "$10O.000,000 worth of water"
in the company capitalization of
$3.50. 100000. Mayor Gillen predicted
the absorption of the majority of the
traffic business in Newark by motor
buses.
Commissioner w. C. Bliss of Rhode
Island said the thrust which brought
the Rhode Island trolley lines close
to death was the wage award of the
War Labor Board, which had taken
the position that it was not con-
cerned with the financial status of
the companies. but only with what
constituted a fair living wage for the
men. DR.. Meeker of the commission
asked If failure-to pay a livine. wage

| TO PROTECT AMERICANS

Warning that there would be a radi-

the Carranza government continued to
fail to protect Americans in that coun-
try. was coptained in a note sent to
the Mexican foreign Office July o.
That the note had been dispatched
was disclosed today by the State De-
partment, together with the informa-
tion that in it's reply the Mexican
government had said that everything
possible already was being done to
protect foreigners. There was a sug-
gestion that unless foreigners concen-
trated in populous places it. would be
impossible to afford them the protec-
ton demanded
Surprise at Mexico's Reply.
Surprise was displayed in the reply
of the Mexican government at what
is styled the menace contained in
the American note. 1t was suggested
that it appeared strange that such de-
mand for protection should be given
foreigners in sparsely settled districts
when crime often goes undetected in
the most populous cities of the most
cultured countries" and where acts
of violence are often committed"
without the respective governments
thereby becoming the object of severe
