Salem Folk Identify
Rogue's Picture AS
Man Who Was Here

Several residents Of Salem this
afternoon positively identified as
former Marion county resident
the G. A. Sloat whose photograph,
taken while he was prisoner in
a Tacoma jail for a statutory
crime, was received in Salem by
Chief of Police Moffitt last night.
Local persons were convinced
that the man arrested at Tacoma
for attacking a small girl and the
man held in Linn county, for the
same crime, are the same individ-
ual. The Sloat held in Albany
has admitted he formerly was a
teacher near Mehama and that he
has been In Salem on several oc-
casions.
Sloat. who Is accused of attack
ing two small Salem girls on the
morning OF March s. after Turing
them into Bush's pasture on Mis-
sion street. Officers say that he
has confessed to the crime. 1t is
believed likely that he will be
brought TO Salem within the next
few days.
A letter from Tacoma authorl-
ties further explaining the Taco
ma case was received by Chief
Moffitt last night. 1t said In part
He was positively identified
by nine year old girl as the man
who had on the day previous
picked her up on his bicycle and
taken her to the vicinity OF the
city pumping station which is To-
Gated on the outskirts of town,
and there made an assault upon
her.
Information was filed direct
in the superior court of Pierce
county against him on July o,
1918, but in consideration for his
widowed mother, he was only
sentenced to serve six months in
the county fail. without knowl-
edge of this department until this
date Sloat was released on proba-
tion on September 0. 1918, by
Probation Judge Healy."

NO CELEBRATION
OF FOURTH FOR
SALEM, IS VERDICT

Salem will not celebrate the
Fourth OF July this year.
In view Of the fact that Silver
ton. Woodburn and other towns
in the immediate vicinity Of Salem
are contemplating formal observ-
ances of the Fourth, this city will
abandon proposed plans for eele-
bration, 1t was definitely an
nounced by Robert Duncan, man
ager of the Commercial club, this
afternoon.
I'VE gave the matter serious
consideration, but we have con-
cluded that It would be best not to
celebrate this year" Mr. Duncan
said. I'VE are Of the opinion that
II would be well for Salem people
to cooperate with those sponsor
ing celebrations in the nearby
towns.
Some difficulty in perfecting
their plans for entertainment here
the Fourth was experienced by
those interested IN the local ceIe-
bration. It is known.
Regardless OF today's edict II
is probable that the small boy in
Salem viii be able to enjoy his
fireworks this year. But recently
Attorney General Van Winkle
handed down an opinion in which
he held that fireworks may be
both solo and bought. His de-
cision came close on an order is
sued by the state fire marshal who
had contended that explosives
ould not be used this year.

!. Cleveland, Ohio, June 14.--A
frankly pessimistic view of some
of the predominant tendencies of
American political thought was
voiced today by Secretary Weeks
of the war department at the com
mencement exercises of Western
Reserve university.
In an address which he said
was tempted to entitle the. de-
cline of American government"
the war secretary declared the
drift of recent years was gradual
ly weakening the nations govern
mental structure by undermining
the constitution and sweeping
away the principles Of party re-

The direct primary bloc" agi-
tation and the country's readiness
to accept constitutional amend
ments were given by the speaker
as evidence that the government
was heading away from its ancient
safeguards and toward complete
social democracy.
"As one result" he asserted, "tn
the public mind the legislative
branch of our nation government
probably never has been at lower
ebb than it is today"

tinued, has so palpably lessened
the quality of men willing to

Turning to the "bloc" move

clared that when a party comes

reason for the distinguished sue
cess of so many of it's graduates,
