THE YOUNG MEN AND BOYS OF SALEM ARE HER GREATEST . . . : ASSET - . , President Wilson will probably not be able to perform the duties of his great office for a long time, and the constitution provides that in case of his "inability to discharge the dow crs and duties of the said office, the sane shall devolve on the vice presi dent." That looks plain and easy. But such inability has not yet been . .. That is a splendid slogan for the Salem that is to be. The Salem boys of today are the Salem men of tomorrow. because: ,1.

Senator Reed. If possible." The undersigned has never been an admirer of Senator ' Reed, but Reed Is an American senator. and an Amer ican citizen, and as such he la Just as much entitled to protection , from an 1. W. W. mob at Ardmore as .was President Wilson in Seattle and In San Francisco. The cause of the league of nations is not being, ad vanced by the antics-of a riotous mob or by personal abuse of senators. whether it comes from the press or the white house. An extremely bitter feeling has ex isted ever since orders were issued for the election of a Democratic con gress. Conservative citizens every where have believed that a mistake was ma&e when j the president as sumed that he alone was fit to act as chairman of the peace commission. They have felt that there was 'more urgent need forj the executive In Washington than in Paris and have resented what they felt was an at tempt to make the war and the pro pased peace treaty a. personal asset. There is no lack of executive and constructive statesmanship in Amer ica, equal to any In the white house. The "advice and consent" of the sen ate in the making of peace treat lee is guaranteed by our constitution, and it is unworthy of a president of all the people to ignore this prerog ative and to apply the most abusive epithets to senators who may happen to differ with him. ' . . . Right of discussion cannot be de nied. Impugning of senatorial mo tives is certain to breed resentment and retaliation. It may be illogical and unreasonable, but It Is human nature to resent dictation and the denial of ordinary courtesy to a co- THE STRAP HANGER. for those who in their investment would help their fellow men.
