Hundreds of letters-most Of
which will have a fair chance to
be eventually dispatched to the
dead letter office-were receiving
special attention in the Salem post
office this morning. "Most of
them have inadequate or improp-
er addresses" Postmaster August
Huckestein explained. ut is sur
prising to find what a large num-
ber of persons, many of them
prominent business men, show
carelessness in addressing their
letters" Mr.. Huekestein indicated
a large stack of letters which
were bound for the dead letter Of
flee. There were scores of en-
velopes in the pile. ''All from a
Salem bank" he explained. "None
of them is addressed correctly and
none of them has a return address
on 1t. Consequently, the only
thing we can do is to shoot them
to the dead letter department"
One man is kept busy throughout
the day endeavoring to determine
the correct addresses of persons
whose mail has been incorrectly
addressed.

TIENTSIN, PANORAMA

Tientsin, In the northeastern edge
OF the terrible Chinese famine area.
In which millions Of people are stary-

towns strung together.
To walk about Tientsin is. to travel.
An afternoons stroll from the native
to the British, French Italian, Russian
and other foreign quarters, gives the
sensation Of a magic tour through
Peking, London. Paris. Rome and
Petrograd. And the windmills among
the salt mounds just outside the city
add touch Of Holland. B
This panorama city has had TEN.
pestuous history. There a group Of
American and other foreign residents
Herbert @. Hoover among them
defended themselves for a. month
against the fanatic Boxers inS 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as Cheng-li, ,sor Town without
Walls" because the ancient. barriers.
were demolished during the Siege. OF
the 500 doughty foreigners more than

We find the following letter from
Mr.. Fulkerson Of Devils Lake a q
recent issue Of the Courier News.
/ read in your editorial today where
in you seem to admit Henf Ford
used his auto business To make his
railroad business such : i success. II
call your attention to the last Issue of
LaFollekte's magazine wlerein Mr.
Ford says that the record will show
that since he has taken over ths rail-
road the volume Of business has been
less than it was before he, took over
the railroad hut notwithstanding he
has made money while his predeces-
sors lost money. He made his rail-
road a success by cutting out, needless
overhead expense and keeping tho
rolling stock to work and not leave
cars and freight standing on side
tracks for days and weeks at i time.
He also reduced the numbeE of
men working and paid better wages
to his men SO they seem TO tals more
interest in their work and give hetter
service for moEey-received. ESAke Il

'BLocs" HAVE GROWN UNPOPULAR

Congressman Ansorge, republican of New
York, is the author of bill to prohibit the
formation in Congress of 'blocs", based on par
ticular pursuits or geographical locations, for
the purpose of affecting legislation. Under the
bill, senator or representative would be sub
ject to fine of $4,000 in case it was proved
that he belonged to 'bloc.' This damphool
bill is obviously aimed at the agricultural bloc
in Congress.
Why is it, at this late day, that Congressman
Ansorge (or his coadjutors) have suddenly dis
covered that it is crime to belong to political
combination, which in the case of the agricul-
tural interests is called "bloc"? Isn't it be-
cause all the other interested ''blocs" have been
startled out of their wits by the sudden and
unceremoneous entrance of the farmers who
have tramped their way into the chubby atmos-
phere of the national capital without being
properly introduced? Is it any wonder that
the railway blocs, the financial blocs and the
manufacturers blocs look at each other in
startled surprise and disgust, and slyly whisper,
across the republican and democratic aisles,
about the intrusion? After while, when farm
ers get their due proportion of representation
in congress, the agricultural bloc won't be
made to feel quite so lonesome and criminal"
Perhaps one reason why the agricultural bloc
looks bad to Ansorge from New York is because
its members have stood out in the open and
asked for just what they wanted. They have
not learned the usual Machiavellian practice Of
hiding their wants behind million words Of
tariff, taxation and financial legislation.

WAS ONLY COMIC OPERA WAR.
Americans Experienced Odd Pro.
visions When Joining Spanish
Legion Against Moors.

It was just a comic opera war any
how, according to 50 young Americans
who have returned to New York from
whence they sailed two months ago
to join the Spanish Foreign. Legion
for service against the Moors. The
would-be Foreign Legtonnaires were
represented In numbers among ,ex-serv-
ice men applying, to the American Le:
sion employment bureau for any kind
Of work: :lF
After enlistment In New York, the
recruits, almost all of whom had
served overseas with the American
army, were sent to Ceuta, Africa.
There they were Informed for the first
time that out Of their pay of AZ
pesetas day (about 60 cents) they
must buy their own uniform, food,
even arms and ammunition. =
1T was the funniest war you ever
saw" declared George Dimond of
Brooklyn, who explained that the hard
er you fought the more It would cost
you for ammunition. II a man fought
very hard he would soon be- deeply in
debt to the Spanish government. II,
on the other hand, he conserved am
munition and tried to save money, he
stood excellent chances of being
picked of by Moor. Besides all
that, the Americans, who thought they
were to officers, were assured that
they were welcomed only as privates.
