Grated at the Oregon state fair here

Secretary A. Fl. Lee, Thursday, by
Governor Olcott wlfo declares that If
the fair directors fail to bar such con-
cessions the executive office will take
steps to eliminate any Objectionable
features tnat may crop out.
Numerous complaints have been
registered against the practice OF the
fair management in the past. in per-
uniting the operation of lotteries,
games Of chance and immoral
shows, the governors letter states.
The governor comedies that entertain
ment OF a wholesome nature are nec-
cssary to the success of the fair but
declares that 'the state of Oregon is
mot. so poor. nor are its citizens so
depraved, that il Is necessary to raise
money for fair purposes by gambling

Crime Growing Or Police
More Vilgient; Arrests In
1919 Exceed Previous Year

pears few names of persons nab
bed for escorting John Barleycorn in
, TO this field Of drouth. but, in all, 1t
registers a big decline of activities of
the good old days"
On either of the dockets is shown
a great amount OF major crime No
murderers have been apprehended,
though accomplices in murders in
other cities have been taken here and
held as a compliment Names of sew
eral burglars have been inscribed on
the sacred scrolls of the Palace OF
Ages; and none too few for larceny
of autos.
Prevention Chiefs Theory.
Some claim that crime has not in
creased in the city. One of these
claimants was c uncilman McClelland
who in a recent meeting, declared the
uselessness of policemen, and assert
ed that he did not believe the people
in Salem were $50 bad as to need any
police watching them at all''
Perhaps crime has not increased.
But the dockets show either this or a
great activity on the part OF Chief
VI ci'tC = ciSy al' tdTitcy anu HIS
staff Of seven men. Chief Varney
works on the theory that it is better
to prevent crime than to make the
arrests after the offense has been
committed. 1t is for this reason that
he has made an example of so many
offenders, and has asked the council
for more men. Gle says crook won't
crack a safe. or beat a woman over
the head. when a cop is standing or
the same corner!

That crime is growing with Salem
That the women of the city are
slowly but surely becoming members
of the criminal species.
That speeding is the pet .pastime OF
Saiemites.
And that the days when the "bull''
would knock 'em down and drag 'em
out OF sloop. are rapidly growing
more distant.
These are some of the salient facts
shown clearly on the face of the ar
rest docket at police headquarters.
Casual glance will reveal one. and
careful comparison with dockets Of
past years produces substantiation for
the other facts.
More Women Arrested.
The docket for 1918 shows 1873 ar
rests. Seven Of these were women.
And the docket for this year up to
Wednesday, shows .276 arrested, 25
of which We're women.
But it shows something else when
you read between the lines
That crime in Salem has increased
by 50 per cent That is indicated by
the vast increase of arrests.
And because the majority of arrests
that appear on the docket have been
for the violation of traffic ordinances
Of the city, principally speeding. it is
shown that that is the most overt
acts of the capital city's citizens.
Few Drunks Noted.
Only few-probably eight or ten
