People who have an insatiable thirst for exploring the far corners of our country are not letting hard times interfere. Not until the Fourth of July its flood, but we who live in La Trail and a transcontinental considerable activity. Many cars irom other states pass through our streets every day, and crowds at the depot to meet incoming trains have increased substantially. ' This annual outing has become a great national custom, and one of great value to our citizens physically, mentally, and financially, People who have been confined by their jobs, or by other responsibilities or circumstances, during the long winter months, gain new physical vigor when they finally have the opportunity of getting out into the great outdoors and ab sorbing the sunshine. Their mental attitude is also changed by these-summer outings and vacation trips. Employers have found that men do better work if given an opportunity for frequent picnics and outdoor activities. The anticipation of a holiday keeps employes on their toes while at work, and even after the gala day they return to their work with a new kind of en thusiasm. And vacationing has become a business from which many thousands of people make their living. The tourists will do much toward bringing money out of hoarding and putting it into circulation this summer. It is estimated that nearly five billion dollars are invested in the tourist business in the United States, including parks, resorts, hotels, recreation enterprises, roadside stands, and various other activities de pendent almost entirely upon the tourist trade. It is possible that the tourist movement this year may exceed all previous years. Many thousands of new auto mobiles have been purchased this spring, and the railroads are offering unusually attractive rates. Some wealthy people who have been in the habit of going abroad each year may decide to stay home and "See America First' because of somewhat flattened purses. It is fortunate, indeed, that the American people have not forgotten how to play. Their demand for the accustomed pleasures, and all the accompanying supplies and services, may bo the stimulus which will start business and industry back to normal. CHICAC'O HAS THK STACK Chicago, the Windy City, has become Chicago, the Con vention City. During I ho noxt few weeks its gangsters, murders and forthcoming world's fair will he forgotten in the excitement of two national political conventions. All roads lead to and all eyes are turned to Chicago. Although it has not appeared in this role for ll years, Chicago (illicitly assumed the unmistakable atmosphere of a national convention city. Miles of hunting were up days ahead of time, and the advance guards of the Republican hosts straggled into town a week before roll call. When the convention first-nighters arrived in town and the inevitable rival groups of delegates from Dixie placed their credentials on the table and demanded recognition, there was no longer any doubt that the convention was in town. The hum of political gossip is audible. Job-seekers, walk ing delegates, favorite sons with their noisy delegations, and those mysterious headquarters in hotel suites and back rooms where legend has it presidents are made, are there in all their glory, or what have you. G. 0. V. is the first in convention, but it will steal little of Democracy's thunder. The Democrats have - reputation for putting up the best show, and the nation is depending on them this year. Perhaps that explains the larger gift from the city to that party. Chicago hopes to derive some business and much publicity for her world's fair from the two conventions. May neither put her to shame. Perhaps Coiijtresa misunderstood us. It was a clietk taxes, and not a tax on chocks, that we had aVked for. .

Other Papers Say: KK ACTION TO HOCK LMI.IKIf What HUtnd do tho lead I riff upstate papers take on the prohibition ques tion? The Rockefeller defection, has brought a quick rlne from some of their editorialists. We find the Aatorlau-Budgct and Medlurd Mall-Trlbunc In compleUi ac- ord with tlio Rockefeller uUltudc, but the Salem Statesman Is not con- vlnced that the millionaire New lunter couiu BuiiauiuuuLC nis suite- ment Hint "drinking generally has increased" under prohibition. I The following question sum. up the opinion of the Astorlun-Budget: Rockefeller's attitude Is Just that of many, many eople who are prohlbitlonlsU at heart and -who voted and worked for It. Th.y have reluctantly como to the conclusion that practical pro hibition luut been fur different from theoretical prohibition, and that, while killing off the saloon, has given birth to other evils. such ua the bootleggers, the speakeasy and the racketeer. They now seek a substitute which will Insure temperance while eradicating the upawn of prohi bition's failure. The Med ford newspaper sees In the Rockefeller shift the decision of a man of unquestioned motives made In the name of a higher morality and tlio cause of true temperance," to which It adds: Only on that high plane, can any progmw he nuulo toward prohibition reform. These beer parades led by gigolos like Jim my Walker, do more harm than good. Constructive prog reus can nover bo made under the slogan of "Up with beer, let Joy be tin- ' confined I" Constructive progress can ONLY UK MADE under the slogan or "down with the boot leggers and down with llquor-fl-nanced crime I" The Salem Statesman, "while civd- imig uocKeieiier Willi Honest mo ves." does not accent the caserns forth for his change of heart Hhout a challenge: H.'f says that "drinking gener ally has lncrea:u'd;" that speak easies flourish, that respect for law and order languish. Frankly we do not nee how the first as sertion ean bo substantiated. There certainly Is lew liquor con sumed Hum before prohibition when the saloons were openly dlqu'iising liquor. The speakeasy may abound In the city, but It Is secretive.

The killing took place in 1025. In , 1027 White was convicted and sent v(enccd to llfo in prison.

Wendell Fifield, pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church, of Seattle, declared that a "pagan trend of ultra individualism" Is breaking up the American home. "Tho walls of the home," he as serted, "are being moved out Into the community." Among Influences he cited ns bringing this about were cheap amusements, public nurseries and the tendency of wives and mothers to go into lndui'try. "It Is my definite conviction," Dr. Fifield went on to say. "that the greatest single factor for populariz ing a type of Individualistic philos ophy and moral theory which runs counter to the Interests of tiie home . . . is the motion picture."
