Salem business men have boon

thousand dollars caah In advance
by one It. A. VandcrholT. alleged rep
resentative of union lalmr, who has
been worklnK a littlo advertising
arheme uiuotiK the merchants. Rose-
bun? merchants also subscribed quite
liberally lo the appeal to stand in
with union luhor by purchasing ad
vertising space In Vanderhoff's pub
lication, evidence of which fact Is 1
cony of the "Pacific Coast TradeB
Worker" Just received at the News-
Hevlew ollice. Now comes the Ore
gon Labor Press. 1 he true exponent
of union labor, branding Vanderhoff
and his publication as a fake, so far
as It concerns union lubor. This bit
of Information comes a little late to
be of any advantage to those who
subscribed to advertising space In the
Journal, as the promoter of the ad
vertising scheme has a method all
his own. thut of requiring reliable
business men to either pay (he full
year's advertising contract In ad
vance or sign an agreement to do so
monthly. In other words, ho simply
"sewed up" his patrons and trotted
off to new fields looking for the un
sophisticated. The advertising propa
ganda put out by Vanderhoff has
netted lilm thousands of dollars. It
was a clever scheme. He asked the
business mun to "buy his way" Into
the good graces of union labor, and
many fell for his alluring efforts in
behalf of tile paper which Is issued In
far off San Francisco and disirlbuted
in limited numbers to the various
cities where advertising spaco has
been sold.
Hut, regardless of Vanderhoff
method of handling his publication,
there Is n mlghiy fine moral pressed
nut of his manipulations, which Is
this:
There Is no more plausible excuse
for a business man to patronise a
foreign publication than for the man
who has the best Interests of the
community in mind to purchase
goods from a mall order house, for.
In either case, the "sting" is usually
there.
Then, again, when any Individual
asks you to buy your way into the
good graces of nny organiiation,
union or otherwise, the earmarks of
blackmail are too conspicuous to
savor of a genuine bargain. No union
organization would bo guilty of such
a compact and there 1b little wonder
Ihnt the official organ of union labor,
the Oregon Iibor Press, denounces
Vanderhoff's methods in no nncor
talu tones.

The election of China lo member

Nations, should not be overlooked In
this country. Japan Is much disgrunt
led by that development, and with
good reason. China now is In posi
tion to exert as much power in the
League as is Japan. The result is
going to show In ttie handling of the
Asiatic question.
Japan and China were already rep
resented equally In the League of

any action by lhat body must be
unanimous. Japan cannot hope 1o

latter will lie amply able to take rare
of herself by blocking; any Japanese
proposal she dues not like. This
weapon of obstruction aleno should
suffice in the council, to make Jap
an come to terms and treat China
fairly.
In the assembly China will hav
little difficulty, because she evi
dently has more friends there than
Japan has. China's membership in

Rtrength Hint does tho electing, and
that is likely to lie for a long time.
Asiatic affairs, then, are not going
to be dominated by Japan, insofar
as the League of Nations has any
thing to say about them - nnd it Is
evidently Keltic to have a great ileal
to say. As for the relations between
Asia and America, they are looking
up. America has no better friend on
earth than China, and In any diplo

troubles, we can doubtless count on
China's support. I
A new nolo In Investment morals
has been sounded by an Illinois wo
man who wrote recently to the
World s Work, investment bankers,
she has found, are equipped with
and abundant and accurate Informa
tion regarding the price, income, av
erage yield, fluctuation, fluidity and
other aspects of the securities they
have to offer for sale. This informa
tion they give fully and courteously
to prospective Investors.
this woman Investor, however,
wanted Information of another kind,
which Bhe was unable to secure from
any source. In her own words, she
wanted to know, before she gave
her money Into the care of any per
son or corporation for their spend
ing, "What are the comparative mor
al standards or business methods of
the companies whose securities I
conlempluto purchasing."
"Other things being equal," she
explained, "f should prefer not to
be the benlficiary of a firm whose
policy is to sweat Its employees, to
hire spies and thugs, to prevent labor
organizations, to falsify In its tax
statements, sand-bag competitors,
and overcharge customers. I seem to
be the only person to entertain such
prejudices.
"I have wondered If there are not
perhaps Investment houses who make
a specialty of thin-skinned purchas-
era like me, and make It their bus!
nesB to collect and supply to those
Interested, reliable Information as to
the varying degrees of Integrity and
Idealism characteristic of the differ
ent enterprises whose financial ob
ligations they handle."

New Years Game
To Be Humdinger
COM'Mni'S. Ohio. Dec. 27 When
the University of California football
eleven meets tha Ohio state team at
the Tournament of Hoses, In I'asa-1
dena, Cal., on New Year day, tne
Pacific coast champions will play
against an aggregation which has
shown Itself as probably the greatest
"finishers" In modern football his
tory. "Watch the Clock" Is the slogan
which developed among Ohio Slate
opponents as the Western Conference
season progressed, for the opposition
coaches soon learned that while their
proteges might hold Ohio state at bay
through nine-tenths of the game, th
conference champions could not b
stopped In the last few minutes of
ihe play
Followers of the "Big Ten" foot
ball, when watching Ohio state play,
generally went to the game convin
ced that for at least three quarters
the Buckeyes would play a game, full
of poor football, but as the time for
the final whistle approached, they
would gradually become a super foot
ball machine, which always managed
to get In its victorious work just a
few seconds before the clock hands
reached the time when the game
must end. Thus the 'watch the clock'
slogan came Into being.
The record of being great finish
ers was borne out by the record of
the past season. Ohio state played 5
conference teams, and In four of the
games faced direct defeat until the
final minutes, or seconds of the play
but each time with a spurt of per
fect football, which brought victory
and tne conference championship to
tne representatives of the presiden
tial state, came through the gume In
'heir last splendid efforts.
