OBJECTIONS RAISED
TO VACATING TRADE
Twenty Foot Roadway To
Landing Proposed As
compromise.

Objections to vaeating the foot Of
Trade street and giving this unused
piece of ground to the new paper mill
were voiced at meeting held last even
ing at the city hall. The session was
called by Ralph Thompson, chairman of
the committee on streets and bridges
Mr.. Thompson stated to members of
the committee and others present that
the meeting was called in order that
those opposed to vaeating the street
might be heard.
Chas. A Parks, representing the Sa-
lem Water company, said that his com
pany had some suction pipes running
partly under Trade street. Also that
he thought it would be a hardship on
Douglas Mimic to be obliged to take
his gravel from Mimic Island to Court
street landing. Mr.. Parks suggested
that the city retain a driveway from
the river to Front street,
Douglas Mimic was represented by p
H. D D'Arcy in his objections to vacating
Trade street. He said it was not just
to Minto to close the street so there
would be no access to Minto Island. AS
compromise Mr.. darcy suggested
that the city retain roadway ~ feet
in width at the present foot Of Trade
street as this would give Mr.. Minto a
chance to haul his gravel He thought
the council should not take away the
street and render the island Of no value.
With the street closed, Judge ID 'Arcy
thought the island would be worthless
to Mr.. Mimic.
In referring to the granting Of spe-
cial rights to the Spaulding Logging
company, Alderman Fred j. Smith sug.
gested that a provision should be in
serted that should the sawmill here
eeaseto exist, that the street would re-
vert to the city.
Alderman Thompson said that he was
never in favor of vaeating Trade street
and Alderman II. H. Vendervort said
he felt the same way about it.
Wants Justice TO All.
Mayor Albin said that all he wanted
was justice to all parties. He felt the
coming of big paper mill woun uc :
great thing for Salem and that he was
in favor of doing everything that could
be done to bring industries to the city.
Representing the interests Of Douglas
Minto and indirectly those of Mrs.
Jessie Minto, Judge darcy said that
if the matter could not be settled AMIGA
bly,, that he hoped the council would
protect the Mimic interests.
No representative of the Spaulding
Logging company was present nor Of
the proposed paper mill. Even if the
council is disposed to vacate the foot
of Trade street in order that the paper
mill may be erected here, it will require
80 days to legally put through the ordi.
nance Of vacation.
It is pretty well understood that Mr..
Leadbetter and the spaulding interests
have not as vet purchased the expensive
paper making machinery, but are wait
ing until satisfactory arrangements can
be made with the city before closing the
deal.

Wilson 5 request.
The amendments have to do largely,
il is said, with safeguarding the Monroe
doctrine, one of the foremost points Of
contention between the president and re-
publican senators.
Taft drafted his proposed amend
ments shortly after President Wilson Is
return to France. Before dispatehing
them, however. he asked Secretary Tu
multy to inquire of the presioent wheth-
er suggestions were in order. The
president responded that he would be
very glad to hear Taft S proposals,
Amendments Cabled.
The amendments were then cabled the
president through official channels and
the president personally acknowledged
receipt of them in later message for
Taft.
He did not indicate, however, what
was being done about the amendments.
A further message today to the White
House disclosed that the president has
all four of the Taft amendments before
the league of nations carpenters.
simultaneously with this development
it was stated by those in intimate touch
with the president today that be at no
time had been unwilling to receive con.
structive criticism of the original league
covenant
When definite suggestions had been
offered, it was that President Wilson
had utilized this in attempting to modi.
fly the document so as to make il salts

President Works Continually.
Admiral Grayson in private cable
today, said that the president is work
ing night and day, but is clearing up
well under the strain"

DR.. Franklin Thoroughly
Analyses French Character

Undertaking TO answer the question
"What is a Frenehman7' 7''-Dr. Frank
lin, of Willamette university, at tho
public library last night, presented the
most thorough analysis of French char
aeter ever given here, his paper being
made up largely of quotations from the

ers. II these were all crystalizcd into
a sentence, II would show that the
French character is an enomaly--a com
Dosite of antipodal traits TO be found
nowhere else in the world. One of the
causes may be found In the historic
fact that he is made up Of dozen diff
ferent races, with a preponderance of
the Latin element. Another cause may
be found in the fact that for The past
two centuries the Frenchman has adj
yanced in intellectually and In science
at the expense Of moral and spiritual
and ethical qualities.
The great mass Of average French
population, though understood, Is physi-
cally strong and capable Of an unbe-
hevable amount Of grinding toll yet
the average Frenchman is notorioasly
unsanitary in his habits and lex in the
matter Of food and clothing.
They have wordreputation for ga.
iety and light-heartedness; yet they are
the most serious Of civilized races
serious in social life, in journalism, IN
politics. One will find more laughter
and cheer on the streets of London in
five minutes, says one writer, than
could be seen in Paris in year. The
Frenchman looks upon the English as
excessive stupid and the American as
excessively frivolous. The French
youth take life more seriously in the
schools, are more advanced in education
at the age Of IS, and more methodieal
than either English or American. The
French politeness is universal, vuJ u IS
very apt TO be veneer over cold-heart
ed diseourtesy or brutality, even in the
attitude toward women. The French
moral sense is ineomprehensiblc TO eith-
er an Bnglishman or an American, and
it is open aud unashamed ia lis disfe-
gard for the niceties Of associations and
social relations

may have accounted for the fact that
in cabling Taft regarding league sug-
gestions, he urged haste in their dis
patch.
In administration quarters today the
view was expressed that the high tide
Of opposition to the league Of nations
has been passed and that both in con.
gress and throughout the county there is
a marked upturn in favor of league.
Complete confidence is voiced that the
league covenant, as re-drafted in ac-
cordanee with republican suggestion,
will meet the demands of opponents of
the original draft. Already some oppo-
sition senators have shown a tendency
to be far more receptive toward the
plan than at first.
