BenFranklin Said: SHOULD BE BACKED TO THE LIMIT VII Hill ! A revival of a campaign for the drainage of the so-called "white land" is foreshadowed by the recent election of A. E. Harris,' of Brooks, to the presidency of the Oregon State Drainage association. : Mr. Harris is a farmer and fruit grower. He has had consider able experience in farming white land. - lie has discovered thatthe white-land farmer must drain his land or his white land will drain him. ' ' t . In other words, he would say, Ditch your land or your land will you Mr. Harris says he has tried to grow potatoes onundrained white land and his efforts were rewarded with only a small yield of little spuds.' .. ." - ' . . 1 ' ' - ) After the same land had been ditched a full yield of potatoes of commercial size were obtained! !"I could grow neither clover nor vetch before my land was drained," said ;Mr. Harris. "Now I get good yields of these valu able forage crops. Yes sir, thorough drainage will make, white land black. That is to say, tiling white land will make it yield as heavy crops as are irrown on-black land." Mr. Harris states that the association of which he h president is equally! interested in reclaiming tide lands or diking overflow lands along the river bottoms. The association is also considering drain ing shallow lakes in Klamathf county and in other sections in Eastern Oregon. v ! A definite plan of operation for the coming year, will be mapped out by the association at an caly date, and a vigorous policy iuau gurated to carry these plans into effect as far as means and circuni .stances- will -permit.;, . .,, " J:.r Salem should be vitally! interested in this movement. i - 'There is a grcatdeal of the "white land", on both the Oregon Electric and Southern Pacific lines in Marion county and they pre sent a poverty-stricken and woebegone and" unthrifty appearance to people passing through. ! j Drainage will correct all this. '. And it will make these lands produce four and five and ten times tlic value of crops tliey now produce. , . ' The wealth of Marion county can be vastly increased by drainage.

Cables from Paris relate that the peace conference will take up this week a serious consid eration of the Russian situation, that there is a possibility of the lifting of the allied blockade and that allied support of the armies which have been fighting the Bolshevists may be withdrawn. Lenine and Trotzky are willing to admit, ttheir failure to extend -the Bolshevist dominion outside Rassla; yet they have asserted repeatedly that the rule of the proletariat can not survive unless it can unite the free peoples of the world. They are as eage'r to make peace with the oth er nations of Europe as they once were to make war upon them. II Bolshevism, is limited to Russia Bol shevism has failed, for it is founded on the idea of internationalizing the proletariat of all countries. If it can not do that it must pass as other revolutionary movements of a simi lar character have passed. The time will certainly arrive when the Rus sian people themselves will destroy Htnry E.

THE ALIENS ARRIVE. Immigrants have been arriving at Ellis Island lately at the rate of al most two thousand a day and an av erage of more than a thousand are kept in detention while the authori ties give them the twice- and thrice over. The once-over is not now enough and the arrivals who are likely to prove undesirable citizens are turned back in the coming. Standards of citizenship should be advaned and the country should not open its doors to those who cannot at least qualify for the preliminaries.

KaMaaCHr.M, When. a people is bent upon self- destruction the rescue is as difficult as saving one whose mind is fixed on suicide, but whose body instinctively rebels. For two years the Boisheviki have held complete, though not un disputed,, control of the government and industries of Russia. They have sought to extend their dominion else where, but they have failed in every instance. There is not a rood of ter j ritory on earth outside the boundar ies of old Russia where the Boishe viki are in control; and their rule Is disputed by armed forces in nearly half Russia itself. Confining Bol shevism to Russia is in itself a good year's work; but It is not enough. The Boisheviki have armed forces I in the field that their leaders claim number 3,000.000 men. They have defended their capital successfully against Russian and al'.ied troops un der Gen. Yudenitch. their southern frontier against the armies of Gen. Deniklne and their eastern frontier against Admiral Kolcbak. In order to carry on their military campaigns they have robbed the civilian popu lations of thelf grain, their live stock. their machinery and their money. In many districts civilian population by tens of thousands are perishing of cold and hunger: but the Russian Boisheviki and their Chinese merce naries are supplied with sufficient food and ammunition to hold the own damnation within the part or Russia they now-occupy. While this policy has the appear ance of an abandonment of the Rus sian elements that bave fought hero ically to stifle Bolshevism, it is per haps the only sane course to pursue until international unity outside Rus sia can be affected through the medl um of the league of nations. The failure of the allied Russian campaign Is due to dissensions ana lack of' unity among the allied peo ples. If the league ot nations had come into active being by the first of May last year single summer campaign would have sufficed to re store orderly government in Russia It was in this lapse that the allies failed. American newspaper corres pondents have -repeatedly expressed the opinion that Russia could not be reclaimed until unity was established among the peoples who sought to save it for civilization. And the le sou of Russia has 'been sufficient to Impress upon all free peoples the ab solute necessity : ot international unity. Bolshevism was resisted by mil lions inside Russia; but their resist ance weakened as they-saw the hope of an early and adequate league of nations fade. The collapse came when the American senate failed to ratify the peace treaty. A good beginning ended in failure. The allies must pick up the rem nants and begin all over again. The process will be slower. The advance of civilization in east ern Eurone has been retarded; but it must' not' be abandoned. The need ot the league is now felt as keenlv in Germany and Austria as -among the allies. 'All are convinced that chaos is the only alternative. A year has been lost; but other years without number remain. A generation of wasted opportunt ties does not mean the collapse of free government; but it would be a blot upon the twentieth century and it might lead future generations to conclude that the war was fought in vain. The duty of the allied peoples can not be longer obscured. The first task to be accomplished this year Is the ratification of the peace treaty and the establishment of the league of nations. When the league is once functioning its very existence will bring despair to the hearts of Bol shevists and anarchists. In the news columns of Associated Press papers last week appeared the secret instrue tions which had Wen issued by the Bolshevist government of Russia to its emissaries inAmerica. The fol lowing paragraph Is significant: "It is desirable to spread hostility towards Wilson as a two-faced crim inal, as well as towards his league ot nations." The reds and the whites in Russia seem to mostly spend their time in looting one another. Government cannot lone endure, country will run out of loot. JOY WATER.
