INTER V { n ITO n
PR0PACANDISM N
BADLY SH0WNUP
(Arizona LABOR Journa.) !

The testimony of rich Americans
with big holdings in Mexico ilas
and will be a big factor in deternin-
ing the relations between the two
countries. For the most part this
testimony has been of critical il
not an actually interventionist nature.
Listen tosthe word of Col. Da1
NJ. Burns, also an American of wealth
holding big interests in Mexico. Col.
Burns went to Mexico % years ago
with 500 in his pocket Today his
yearly income from Mexico totals over
$1,000,000. His property consists OF
great mining, farming and hldro- ell
ectrie holdings there. And yet he
is not only opposed to intervention,
but believes that such a course would
oe tragic mistake.
Here are. some of the. things Col.
Burns. went to Mexico 80 years ago
mittee about the Mexico which he
knows SO well:
"There is no trouble in Mexico"
said Col. Burns, "The trouble is all
on this side of the line. Several
years ago l joined society OF alien
investors in Mexico. I was amazed
to find that its frank purpose was to
foment anarchy in our neighbors e
public. Today this policy has given
way to inflaming the public mind in
America with Outrage" stories OF
of questionable authenticity.
Lost Padded List
"The destruction of American pro-
perty in Mexico has been very large
item varying with locality, but Amerl-
can property loss will be met by the
Mexican government in time.
"As to the number of Americans
killed in Mexico in the last ten years
know that list has been presistently
padded and the facts given a mis-
leading slant to arouse the patrotlc
fury in American minds.
From my experience I have no
knowle 4ge of IN: .'merican who lost
hi. life ei;her !.:t.tly or indire''' ;"
through the Mexican government l
know of many who met death, but
in almost every case it was through
the spirit of adventure that prompted
them to pass through or remain IN
narts of Mexico where conditions were
chaotic and all semblance Of govern
ment had broken down.
"The department of state recently
transmitted to congress a statement
that 726 foreigners had been killed In
Mexico since 1910, adding that one
third of these were Chinese AS a
ouess I should say half of these were
Chinese, for the Chinese government
claims that $50 of its subjects were
killed in the massacre at Torfeon
alone. Of the remainder, the Span
ish suffered more than any other ma
ton and numerous German, French
Italian and Swiss we're added to the
toll.
Mexicans Killed
"I doubt greatly if bona fide list
of more than 100 Americans unlaW1ul-
lv killed in Mexico could be made out
an average of ten year. Such a
hist would be sad enough, but more
the same period in the seven counties
south of the Tehaehipi in California.
"In December murder map was
sent out to editors of the Umteo
States by the National Association
for the Protection of American Rights
in Mexico"
"Murder Map"
Col Burns says that the dates and
localities of 102 of the alleged murd,
ers were left blank, and he believes
that many of these are still alive.

New Divisions
Organized Here
By Scout Clubs

With view toward providing
every body and young man In the
city of Salem with character
building program, wherein his
best interests are recognized and
his physical nature satisfied, the
Salem council, Boy Scouts of
America, have organized two new
departments, which together with
the work now carried on, will seek
to enroll every boy and young man
between the ages of nine and TWEEN
ty-one years.
The junior department or the
Boy Scouts Of America, exclusive
ly for boys from nine to twelve
years of age. provides an organiza-
tion which will fill a long feit want
in this city. The "Wolf Cub" learns
thel aw Of the pack" in witch
friendship, endeavor and preser-
verance are @xemplified In tine
cunning and habits of the wo,f.
The program offered by this Or
ganization, under the direction Of
the Boy Scouts is possibly the best
that has ever been adapted to the
use of the younger boy, and has re-
ceived the heartist support and ia
vorable comments Of the leading
throughout this coun-
try and England.
The "NNolf Cubs" will be organ
lied under the personal supervision
and leadership of Scout executive,
l.. Cook, who has had very
careful training In the care of
younger boys, ana Salem is assured
Of positive Christian program for
her younger boys. "
Sea Scouts Organized.
The sea scout department is the
maritime branch of the Boy Scouts
Of America. Any boy who is at
least fifteen years of age and
weight at least one hundred and
twelve pounds is eligible. Sea
scouts are organized in units or
boat crews" of nine boys each,
and in the primary class work.

Total of 1882
Visitors Housed
by Guest Bureau

| In report submitted to the
| board of directors of the Salem
Commercial club, the committee IN
charge of the clubs guest bureau
has reported that 1882 state fair
visitors were provided with accom-
modations during the period Sep
tember 26 to october 2.
In response to the appeal for ac-
concentrations in Salem homes, 663
Salem residents placed every spare
bed and room at the clubs dispo-
sal. A total of 92S rooms were
listed in this manner and filed for
ready reference. AT all times the
guest bureau had listings far in
advance of the demand, no guests
being turned away, although in
several applicants for nights lodg-
ings were delayed because of fail
ing TO provide themselves with
lodgings until very late hour.
AS every hotel in the citv was
ovefcfowded, the service provided
by the Commercial club made a
very favorable impression upon the
visitors, according to many of the
guests who returned to the Climb
rooms and voiced appreciation of
the hospitality shown by Salem
residents. Only two complaints of
overcharging by room owners were
received and in only three instan-
ces did guests decamp without pay
ing their room rent.
During the week, two girls. en-
pioYed as listing clerks, were kent
busy during daylight hours, a.
m. to p. M, including the noon
hour. In addition to this, an extra
clerk was kept on duty from 3 to
1880 O'Clock each evening. Due
TO the inconvenience resulting
from efforts made during past
years to house visitors at all hours,
every effort was made to induce
visitors to list their wants at the |
guest bureau before 10 D. m.
While many guests took accom-
for the entire week, tne |
major number of applicants de-
sired only one or two nights lodg-
ing. Thet otal nights accommo-
dations listed through the club. I
was 22SG. During the week there
were nearly $500 outgoing and in

combines and many other matters
of interest and vital importance are
unsolved. But you know that we
are living in a fast age where every

QUALITY COUNTS IN
THE MONUMENT LINE

Every once in a while somebody
tells us that our prices are being beat
by some other concern, but this does
not bother US any. We have watched
the "Our prices are the BEST" for
nearly % years, and have seen them
come and go, "like meteors athwart
in murky sky" as the poet says:
Quality counts far more in the mon
ument line than anything else in the
business, and it does not take long
for the people to note this fact; hence,
we lose an order now and then and
sometimes customer is tempted away
by the prospect of saving a few dol
lars by the "our prices are the best"
men, they eventually come back
stung and sorry.
What does bother US, however, is
the fact that cheap cut price monu-
ments disgust the better class OF
dealers and discourages the customer
who really wants a first class piece
of work.
Nothing on this "green footstoop'
looms up so rotten and bad as bad
ly cut, poorly proportional or skinny
monument, out of poor stock, ana
nothing hurts the trade and dealers
reputation so irreparably.
On the other hand good, nice
monument is business maker OF the
first water, the finest and most en-
during advertisement dealer can
have, and if for no other reason,
whatever, he can well afford to in
duce his customer to buy a nice, first
class piece of work.
One satisfied customer is worth
more than 100 dissatisfied ones. Near
lily 20 years in the monumental line
has taught US a few things. Price is
not the only consideration in the pur-
chasing of a monument. The recol-
lection of quality remains long after
the price is forgotten.
If you give US an opportunity to
submit you some designs and prices
on your work, we will appreciate it
and assure you that we will give you
full value for your money.
Yours truly,
NEW ALBANY MARBLE
