Acting on the suggestion Oh 10
cal electrical contractors, who ap-
peared before the Salem city coun-
ell in a body last night, the alder
men took action which probably
will result in the inauguration in
Salem of a system providing that
all buildings under construction
shall be inspected by an electr-cai
engineer
This plan, it was pointed out, is
In operation in practically all OF
1.-THE larger cities Of the state. Its
sponsors declared that 1t would
make for superior work among the
electrical contractors, eliminate
novices who do not know their
business, and lessen the fire haz-
ard in the city. The inspector, 1t
was explained, would receive his
salary through fees paid by con-
tractors.
COMMITTEE Nameu.
Action on the council motion
that three aldermen be appointed
to work with the electrical men
and the city attorney was taken
by Mayor Halyorsen when he
named Aldermen A. F. Marcus,
Carl Pope and George Wenderoth
as the special committee. An or
dinance providing for the inspec-
tion Of all new buildings is eA-
pected TO be placed before. the
council at its next meeting.
A prolonged argument as to
whether property owners who have
delayed in paying their assess
ments on improved streets should
be permitted to bond their prop
erty came to a close. eventually
when the councilmen decided in
the affirmative. The move had
been opposed by Alderman Joseph
Baumgartner who declared that 1t
set bad precedent. His stand was
backed by Alderman Ralph
Thompson, who declared he was
ready to go to the mat If neces-
sary. Among those who cham
pioned the property owners were
Alderman Vandevort and Alder
men McClelland.
Resolutions Adopted.
''If you had been told that the
improvements would cost 60 cents
square yard, and then found that
your bill said $l.3S a square yard,
you d hesitate to pay too" Alder
man Vandeyort said, addressing
the council In general.
Several sidewalk resolutions
we're adopted last night and a
number. including two introduced
by Alderman Utter, were referred
to the street committee. AT the
suggestion of Alderman Pope, per-
mission was granted to move an
arc light from the corner OF Mar
ket and Liberty to the corner or
Commercial and Market.
Permission Granted.
The new Oddfellows' building,
on North High street. will have an
outside basement entrance. Special
permission was granted by the
council last night after the plan
had been urged and opposed by
two factions. r. w. Simeral, for
mer councilman, appeared before
the aldermen to ask that the per-
mission be given.
An application filed by a pool
hall proprietor for soft drink Ii
censes precipitated debate be-
tween Alderman Vandevort and
Thompson which was interspersed
with a number of remarks which
brought laughs.
vandevort Talks.
"These pool halls are damnable
places" Alderman vandevort in
sisted. During harvest time
when we needed men. we couldn't
get them, and l counted 2S able
bodied men in one pool hall alone.
They should all have been on the
chain gang"
Alderman Thompson rose slow
ly,
"Mr. Vandeyort and seldom
disagree" he said. 1T grieves me
that il should be necessary on this

weaving selfishness. There is nothing
| in his life, not even his Punishment
that is comparable to the epic history
| OF Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon's
| story stands out in history as a mag
| nificent warning against human am
| bition. One moment crown ruler OF
the world, and still ambitious he was
unsatisfied. The next turn of the
! wheel finds him a prisoner on a lonely
| island. But only his body was ban
| ished to st. Helena. The real man
| the idol of F'rance-left his soul at
Waterloo six years back.
| No, there is no comparison between
| these two royal exiles; and France
would be the first to resent, even the
! suggestion, that the names of William
Hohenzollern and Napoleon could be
coupled in thought. For no matter
what were his autocratic failings, it
was the Bonaparte who gave perma-
hence to what was good, in the i'm
spired theories of the Revolution Ma
poleon made freedom and equality be-
| fore the law, the inheritance of every
| Frenchn1en, no matter how humble his
| birth. And now if he used the ruth
| less sword, still with it, he sowed all
over Europe the seeds of the spirit OF
I freedom. There they took root, and
! bloomed..
| So, as 1 said before, although there
may be little similarity between the
magnificent pomp of Davids picture,
The Coronation and some of the ten
| feet canvasses, which have hung on
. the wall of Potsdam, still, there IS
! not one particle of resemblance be-

| In recalling the majesty, the VIC
| tories and the defeats of the Napol-
| comic career, there is one instance that
| should encourage the pessimists, as TO
| the soul of our race. Here in the cy-
| Gle of a century we have had two en-
| Derors each the rulers of the greatest
military power of their age. Both were
| defeated and fugitive. In each case
at the last they were held as prisoners
| nv their allied enemies. Napoleon
| last days were embittered by petty
| and useless humiliations. But the
world has improved; for today, III

| sured the worlds peace, without dis
playing any empty rancor toward the
| last DAYS of the fallen Kaiser.

5000 MILES UNDER YOUR FEET

Lou Hoong- Shen, the Caruso of
China, is dead. You never heard of
him? Yet he died in Shanghai the
alter that had contracted to pay him
$4,000 a week. That's a big salary. 1t
is phenomenally big in China, where
a few cents a day will hire strong
man.
To become famous in your home
town is not easy. To become famous
in neighboring towns is difficult. To
become world famous is next door to
the impossible. 4his is~emphasized by
the lot of the great Chinese tenor. He
was famous all through the Orient, yet
Americans knew about as much con-
corning him as if he had been a man
on Mars
Born Of poor parents. Lou Hoong-
Shen had to scramble for living. But,
though China is a land Of musical
voices Gas anyone will testify who has
listened to the songs of the hawker
and the COOLEY the boy Lou stood
alone.
He had the most wonderful voice
among 100000, 900 Chinese. Despite
this. he had to work hard before he
became great,
For many years he was a hummer
"a Chinese actor. Ten years ago he
was discovered" in Shanghai. At once
he quit the paint and weird garb of
a Chinese actor and became a musical
star.
BY odd coincidence, the great
Chinese tenor died from a bursted
blood vessel in his throat, similar to
that which threatened to take the life
of Caruso, now convalescent.
The story of Lou Hoong- Shen's life
shows that the rule for success is uni
vesal; Nature may give a man won
derful gifts, but only hard work and
patience can give him success.

the ideal elephant who is before all

And he said, Much learning hath

And I said, I am not so mad as those
who give up the problem, or who have
not the courage to think it through.
Neither am I content to explain the
fact by the fact, as doth the song.
And I said, l have sat in for some
time at this greatest show on earth,

asses and the he-goats and the clowns
and the acrobats. Above them all, yea,

And I said, am not yet finished. T
am more than a spectator on life's
bleachers. I am part Of the show.
Humble is my stunt. I leap through
no hoops and do not perform on the
flying trapeze. Yet do I seek to make
my round in the saw-dust orbit of
this highly moral performance as an
honest man may and ought, and to do
mine humble part so that when I come
round again to the place where I en-
tered the ring, whether men applaud
me or no, I shall have made life's show
