Clark, the new general manager and vice president of the Salem King V Products Co., speaking at the noon luncheon of the Salem Commercial Club yesterday, predicted a great futura for dehydration in this section. ' - . He said that dehydration will teach the people of the, United States to cease living out of cans. f He said that dehydration will largely take the place of canning of fruits and vegetables, in the course of time, as the people come to know better its advantages in many ways. . V As to the Salem plant, he. said without reservation that it will grow from a factory, paying out $500,000 a. year to one paying out two and a half million dollars a year, for the products of the. farmers of the country surrounding Salem, and for the labor of Salem people. When! " ' Just as fast and. as soon as the raw products may be had in suf ficient quantities. " - -, . This is certainly a fair challenge. " - It js a challenge to our bankers and business men to encourage the farmers to raise the" raw products. ' - . It is a challenge; to the farmers themselves, who have the land and who can, if they-will, secure the capital and the labor. The founders of the Salem King's Products: Co. plaumHUn the be ginning for the extensions proposed. They secured the necessary room. They erected the original buildings with a vie wf to the ex tensions. - .'-..'V : t ' - . - Now, it is up to Salem. 7 ' .. '" ' I So there will .not be enough vegetables and fruits i raised for the iieeds of the Salem factories this yer. lUit there will be a large increase over last year; a creditable increase. And the campaigns for more vegetables aiid small fruits will have to go right on; right on up to the last moment this year, and all through next year and the" following years. , . : v It is long fight; but it will end in making this the solidest farm ing country on earth, and it will end in making Salem a prosperous city of 100,000 people. .. -; - It may take a good deal of time. But it is coming. And, with the "cumulative growth that has already set Ju, the ac complishments of the next five and ten and a dozen years a-re likely to surprise the most enthusiastic of nr proswnti boosters., '.

' So the-campaigna for stilj more will havejtd go right on. President Ebert, the saddler-ruler of Ge many, says the Huns will fight again if they are compelled to cede Danzig to Poland.

Howard Taft la about the liveliest "retired" statesman- of which we have any knowledge! He evidently agrees with Lord Itosebery that there is nothing so melancholy as a great man J a. his retirement, from Nebuchadnezzar La his meadow to Napoleon on his rock,, It has beea figured out that the ex-kalsed has chopped thirty dol lars .worth of wood since, he has been in hiding in Holland. That Is Si possibly the only honest work he ver dM in his worthless life." . A reader, who is probably colored, objects to the use of the word "ne gro" as applied to "the colored race in America." He says they should be called Afro-Amerieanj, as they came from Africa and not from Mon tenegro." . He adds that the black people in Africa were not called uegroes but Ethiopians, and a.iywa, that the negroes In thU country should be known as Americans, -as they have done their full share in helping the nation in time of trou ble and "are not always stirring up strife, as the , other nationalities are." As we have often pointed out. it is foolish to spend too much time over the mere names of" things. It makes no difference with- a, colored person's merifa whether he Is known as a negro, an Afro-Ameiican, an Ethiopian, or a son of Ham. ' "Afro American Is too high-aoundins "and ls ; "very "properly despised by the great majority of American negroes; now , it is mof? objectionable than ever, for it makes the bearer ;of it a hyphenated. The woid "nejjio ha3 nothing, offensive In it; it Is nierly theatin word, for "black." The NationalAssociation for the Ad vancement of Colored People hag adopted the term '"colored people,' as we see. This term "colored It all right, although strictly it might include all people who are net white In earlier days-in this country there were three classes of people recog nizedwhites, negroes and colored "Colored", people were persona of mixed t blood, ..neither v white nor black. As practically all Americans of .African descent now have somt admixture of white blood, it may be that "colored is the most logica1 term that can be applied to them But we can say here and now that the future of the- eolored people' will depend not on what.' they are called but on what they do. They are mak ing remarkable progress, for, a peo ple who have; so recently come up from savagery and slavery, and if they will have 'patience and . will keep on making themselves 1 more usefufand avoid, making trouble they "will work out their salvation. TIip DIRECT PRIMARY ..The Statesman, of last Thursday contained a gloat, copied from the Caldwell, Idaho, Tribune, over the repeal by the legislature of Idaho of the direct primary law for that state. - Now, some friend has handed in a copy of the Kansas City Star of Mareh 24, containing the foilowing editorial . a -tide: whole hoc; or xoxe ' The old-time politicians of Kansas want to destroy the Primary Elec tion Law. "They also want to de stroy the Kansas election ballot which stops illegal voting. Thev yearn for a retura lo the good old ward i&ucns for making nominations and fpr the custom of therdiig the voters' in the river wardj$ on election day. 'j . One thing they have rial asked fo and that is the repeal oT"the Anti Pass Law. The oversight is not easy to understand. , What would a state convention be without the rail road pai which brouKht all "-the boys" to Topeka Why bring' back the form of the thing without also providing the substance thereof? There's a joker. Jsomewhere in the movement; there's a darky in the woodpile or else the old ruaril in change fof the campaign to restore the coniventiffiystem has lost Its cunning.

The Statesman Is not taking sides in this matter. We are mere "look ers on in Venice," jus: giving our readers the news ofr the contest as is rases in other States, and will jio aount rage in Oregon some day; J perhap soin and perhaps, late.
