It may be soon. . . It will be before very long, if there is the proper functioning of the team work the importance of the industry warrants and deserves. ' The bottles used in the loganberry juice industry now come from the East, excepting a very few that are secured in San Fran cisco. There are two glass factories in San Francisco, and one in Washintrton. The silica sand for the two factories in San Francisco is shipped from Indiana and other states beyond the Mississippi. That which supplies the Washington factory comes from Montana. After the war, the silica sand for a Salem factory could be brought from foreign ports in ships, in ballast. Right now, Salem could get the sand from the East or Montana, as well as the factories named above. ' The loganberry industry alone, even as already developed, would almost keep a fair sized glass factory busy turning out bottles. The necessary supply of bottles will grow, as tne industry grows. Then there is the item of boxes. They should all be made in Salem. They now come from various points. The above are only two of the loganberry by-products of pros- peniy possiuie xor oaiem. ; . There are many others. The making of loganberry jams and jellies, for instance. The list might be extended almost indefinitely. - But .what is needed, right now, is 1000 or more farmers to plant one to three or four acres each of loganberries, in the next twenty-five days; and all within automobile truck reach of Salem, if possible: and all available vacant city property planted .'to- logan berries. This is; the pressing need. The industry must be made large enough to supply the growing markets; and the yards should be as close together as possible, in order to get the pickers. ' As was shown in this column in yesterday's Statesman, every 1000 acres of loganberries planted means an addition of, a million dollars a year to the loganberry industry, which has already grown to the stature of a two million dollar industry annually. , -The manufacturing .end, including the by-products, will be taken care of. This is assured. The main thing now in fact, the essen tial thing is to get more loganberry acreage, and more loganberries to the acre. j There can be no growth without the' co-operation of the people who ought to grow the loganberries. ! ; Schuyler Merritt, the new con gressman from Stamford, said at a dinner: "As one of the heads of a larga manufacturing concern, I am much interested In the Bolshevik propa ganda among the Russjan factories. "I am afraid the Bolshevik Idea won't go. 1 heard ihe other day of a Russian employer who cald mildly to a delegation of striking Bolshevi hands: " I can understand your demands for an increase of 900 . per cent in wages, but why do yoa Insist on my j reducing your hours or worn rroni ten to two?' "A young Bolshevik struck his employer Jovialy on the back. "We've got to have time," he laughed, 'to spend our increased wages haven't we?' " Washington Star.

Mr. Kennan has small consideration for thej men of the Trotxky type, of which New York has quite too many, and believes it to be possible for them to make seri ous trouble in this country. Mr. Kennan in the old days bad no word s too strong for the ancient regime in Russia, and now he is unsparing in condemnation of the fanatics and German propagandists who have brought that country to its present plight.; He warned his audience that too much toleration in New York might lead t4 an uprising there, in which fire and murder would figure He condemned certain Columbia pro fessors, peace-loving clergymen and the six socialist aldermen who ob ject to thirft stamps as undesirable citizens, who might "find themselves helpless before the conflagration they had kindled."

Moses thought he could be the whole works, but he had to have assis tance.: When war come his hands became heavy and they were held up by Aaron and Hur. And Jethro said to Moses: "What Js this that thou doest to the people? Why sittest thou thyself alone? Thou wilt sure ly wear away, both thou and this A professor of an American uni versity declared. In a recent speech, that it was the German philosophy, as advocated by corrupt and corrup ted teachers of a decandent govern ment, that brought about the pres ent war and that this philosophy is diametrically opposed to. every prin ciple that democracy holds dear. , That fact, of course, has been pointed out many times before by thi greatest teachers of the world, and yet there are people who, unthink ingly, continue to say that what one believes has nothing to do with what he is or what he does. It has all to do with it. Faith is the fundamental cause o all voluntary conduct, and all faith is founded upon history, experience, reason or observation. , The farmer would never plant a seed in the earth1 unless he believed that the system of laws which have always caused seed to sprout and mature would continue in operation No man would read a book unless he believed that the laws which prevail in the mental world would remain fixed and that he would he able to store up in his memory the pabulum provided by author and printer. i No gae would commit a moral or immoral act if he did not think that his act would result in some good to himself or to the race with which he is Identified . The fact that men do not always realize the result of willful action does . not make void the great law nor render the' effect of action less certain. ''.-.'.-'; "' .

LKT AVKLL KXOUGH ALONE The Oregon Voter in the March 16, 1918, .issue says: "We, think it will be wise to re elect Governor Withycombe because be has made a good record as gov ernor, and this war time is disturbed enough already without making any unnecessary changes in important public office." . The Voter is absolutely right. Gov ernor Withycombe has made a rec ord as a war governor second to none in the United States. There is x.o cause for a change. Now is the time to let well enough alone. tase their conduct on inverted Ideals and mistaken principles, it does not follow that they will escape the con sequences of the action inspired by a fallacious philosophy. The fruit has always been like th-s tree and. there is good reason to be lieve that such will always be the case. Germany started the war because certain abnormal experiences had given her an exaggerated sense of her own importance and destiny and tainted the minds of her leaders with the false ideal of world domin ion because her people had been taught to believe that might is NERVOUS PROSTRATION May be Overcome by Lydia E.

N President Wilsoa is about to give Ms views on the Russian situation. He can only clear up our relation to it. Time alone will clear up the situation itself. , If there is anything rotten in the air service department, it should be cut out, and the sooner the better. And not a moment should be lost in putting every - bit of steam jthat can be secured into the work of speeding up that department. S That's a good ioea, suggested i i the editorial column. Salem ought to have a glass factory, as a by product of the loganberry industry. And it can be -secured. S V Between the Russian situation, the Dutch ships, and about a million other problems, President Wilson Is having a busy old time. He surely has no dull moments; it Is Just one blessed thing after another with him. S To employ a colloquialism, the khaki men in France are "getting there with both feet." An American army band has been one or tne attractions or itome. Wonder if they played "The Long. Long Trail"? The American troops In France are to have a weekly newspaper of their own.

And he's still jarringr the so-called "ethical" tooth-cobblers by selling- dentistry that is so different- so much better and so fair in price that he has now the most efficient and best appointed offices of their kind in the Pacific North west. The enormous patronage of the, Painless Parker. of fices, not only in Portland, Salem and Tacoma, but also in thirteen other large cities is strong enough endorsement of the work done by this organization. . .. The Painless Parker system is1 to bring dentistry to everybody's doors. Tooth-grief multiplies like tar-weed. While you . are. going about your business, suffering from a decayed tooth or a nagging nerve, putting off the day when you will visit the fang-fixer, you are only miking the matter , worse ana more costly for yourself. V ' "" ." '.. -- That's why the Painless Parker of fjces in the Northwest have, at heavy expense, sent their riovel demonstration motor cars throughout the thinly settled districts, giving lectures on the importance of the care of one's teeth and giving conclusive illustrations of the painlessness of our opera tions by out-of-door work in the automobile. Many a per son, who, hitherto, had paid no more attention to the teeth in his head than he had to the teeth in hi3 harrow often not as' much has been thus aroused to the danger of neg lecting his chewers and has found welcome and inexpensive relief at our hands. i Thebeauty about the Painless Parker System is that, because me sue oi me organization, it is possible to provide pa tients with specialists to handle their individual cases.
