SALEM AND THE LOGANBERRY- INDUSTRY
The loganberry industry is already contributing a great deal to
the commercial life of Salem.
Take for item number one, the annual payroll of the general
offices of the Pheasant Northwest Products Co., putting up "Phez,"
"Loju," etc. That amounts to about $33,000.
Take for item number two, the payrolls of the factories of this
company. That amounts to several times $35,000, and is bound to
grow.
Take for item number three the wages paid to pickers, and ex
pended in Salem. That amounts to a much larger siim than is paid
to the factory employees.
The items could be extended through a long list, including auto
truck drivers, box manufacturers- etc., etc.
And all these payrolls are capable of being increased many
fold the- largest proportionate increase, of course, to be on account
of the farmers and farm help and pickers, as the yards increase in
number and size andlproductiveness. The "overhead" charges will
increase the least rapidly in proportion.
And then there are the concerns that dry and ship loganHerries,
and the ones that pack and ship them fresh to distant markets.
Altogether, the loganberry industry is already one of the big
gest things in Salem and it is, bound to become the biggest of rail,,
with the right kind of team work on the part of all our people.
i No other crop grown may depend less on man labor. Women
and children can do the picking. Women make the best hands in
the yards training the vines. They are doing this right now, in all
.directions, and are making good; more than good, as compared with
'the average transient man labor.
So it is good business and loyalty to their home city, for every
Salem booster to get .behind the slogan of more acres of loganberries
and more loganberries to the acre, on a thousand farms near Salem,
and in every available vacant piece of city property. And now;
right now ; in the next twenty-five days.
Remember too, that the building up of a great industry like this
in Salem will bring glass factories and other enterprises that will fit
into the commercial and industrial life of the city.
There in scarcely a limit to the indirect henefitx.
Boost the loganberry industry.
Victory and peace are at the end
of the Rainbow divisions.
Indications point more and more
to the likelihood of the great war

WX1ALIMTS TO OBSERVE MARX
CENTENARY.
If plans now afoot In many lands
are carried to fulfilment, the com ins
May Day will witness the greatest
demonstrations by Socialists that tha
world has ever seen. The demonstra
tions are being organized to cele
brate the one hundredth anniversary
of the birth of Karl Marx, the found
er of modern "scientific" Socialism
under whose banner ten million vot
ers are enrolled.
! John Spar go, In his biography of
Marx, published several years ago,
declares:
"'Socialism and 'Marxism' have
become Interchangeable as practic
ally synonomous terms. In the great
European countries where Socialism
Is a power politically, the movement
Is lamost wholly dominated and In
spired by the thought and deed ot
Marx."
i Karl Marx was born in the old
German town of Trier, May 5, 1818.
After graduating from the gymnasi
um of his native place he entered
the University of Bonn and after
spending a rather unprofitable year
went to Berlin in the fall of 1836. He
studied only a little more success
fully at Berlin than he had previous
ly done at Bonn. Independent study
outside of the university and his love
affair and secret engagement with
Jenny von Westphalen, his future
wife, distracted him from what
should have been his main interest.
Marx soon saw that the academic
career that he had planned for him
self was clearly out of the question
and an impossibility.
'lie then turned to journalism for
a living and became a contributor
to several political newspapers. Ab
solutism was In the saddle, however,
and he German authorities woul.1
not tolerate the opinions set forth
by the young radical. Paris became
his home, and there for some years
he continued to live in- exile with his
bride. In 1844 began the relatloi
between Marx and Fredrich EngeU.
which terminated only with the
death of the former.
The Prussian government caused
the removal of Marx from Paris be
cause of his articles concerning th
tyranny of the German princes, and
be went to Brussels, whence he was
expelled, returning to Paris after
the revolution of 1848. After a
short stay In Paris he removed to
Cologne and began to publish a radi
cal paper, but after having been
twice before the 'courts of law be
was expelled from the country. Re
turning to Paris again he was oblig
ed to move on and went to London
in 1849, where he remained for the
tost of his life.
In conjunction with his friend.
En gels, Marx, in 1847, drew up the
Communist Manifesto." vhich id
the earliest public declaration of In
ternational democratic Socialism. It
was addressed to the laboring class
es of all nations. In 18C4. at a
meeting of English and foreign
working-class delegates in London,
in support of the polish insurrection.
the "International," an association
of workingmen, was founded.
The "International" aimed at a re
construction of society on the bas:s
of labor and brotherhood. Throe
proposals were discussed. Baku
nine, the Nihilist, had published the
opinion that every social condition
must be destroyed before a new bo
ciety could be built up. The Italian
patriot, MazzinI, considered that re
form could be achieved only by mor
al means by educating the people
and enforcing the principle that jus
tice was a religious duty equally
binding on all classes. According
to Marx, a change for the better
could only be brought about by an
economic revolution. His theory of
Socialism was based on a material
istic and to a large extent scientifi
conception of society. Of the threi
ilval views, that of Marx was select
ed, and still forms the backbone of
modern Socialism.
The task that Marx set before him
self was to give a scientific basis to
Socialism, and to arouse the work
ers to what he regarded as their his
toric mission the inauguration of
the Socialist commonwealth. H!j
great book, "Das Kapital," is re
garded as "the Bible of the social
democrats." The first volume of
this work was published In 1867.
The second and third .volumes were
edited by Engels in 1885 and 1894.
j HTOP TALKING PEACH
By PORTER EMERSON
of the Vigilantes.
It is time that the United State.
stopped playing Germany's game.
Germany, sure of her ability to
keep her own peoples solid fqr war.
talks peace. We, stopping our own
efforts to listen and to answer, crip
ple and confuse- ourselves and our
allies.
It is the old game, of the two
burglars in the jewelry shop. One
engages the proprietor In conversa
tion while the other robs the safe.
While Hertling gives vent to as
choice a lot of mendacious bot-a'r,
denburg tramples upon prostrate
as the world has. ever heard, Hln-
Kussla and adds another corpse to
his rapidly accumulating collection.
And we, soft-hearted, sofe-head-
ed, ; klndly-souled, peace-loving,
peace-inured people that we arc,
gabble on while murder is commit
ted before our very eyes.
We had better begin to realize
that this thing we have embarked
in Is not a joint debate but a war.
Every day that we spend In conver
sation and that Germany spends In
war la a two days' loss to us and a
two days' gain for them.
Time is the essence of victory for
Germany as well as for ourselves.
We have not now enough ships both
to supply our troops In Prance and
to handle other necessary shipping
as well Every day that we delay
in bringing every effort that we as
a nation possess to the successful
prosecution of the war, means a day
gained for Germany's submarines, a
day gained for the development of
the new resources that she has cap
tured by force of- arms.
How much longer do we Intend to
stand In the front door talking to
the well-dressed confidence man
while his beetle-browed pal commits
murder In the back room?
We have already bought a good
half dozen German gold bricks. How
many more must we purchase be
foie we think we've got enough?
j THE INHUMAN-NATURE j
PRIMER.
By THEOD03IA GARRISON
of the Vigilantes.
The Sloth.
Of animals, I am not loath
To say I do not love the sloth.
It does not strive to serve or please
And is unpleasantly obese.
So when I note a person who
Takes daily naps from one to two.
Who says she cannot learn to knit.
Or make a bandage or a kit,
And moans, while taking tea at four.
Of deprivations caused by war.
Yet never lifts a voice or hand
To aid re Army and her Land
I mention, as I said above.
An animal I do not love.
The wasp, the hornet give me both
For household pets, before the sloth.
