A PROCLAMATION FROM NORTH SALEM EYES EXAMINED GLASSES FITTED To the Non Resident Owners of Vacant Property in North Salem : ' Fr three months the North Salem Improvement Association has lcen doing preliminary work for a ciyic improvement campaign in this part of the city. It is as much for your benefit as for any one "else. In many cases your vote is the deciding vote that is to make or block progress. ! The movement hag been spontaneous. It has been wide open. Every step has been discussed at public meetings and thoroughly ad vertised in the newspapers. The cards are all on the table. We are rady for a complete line-up of those who are anxious to promote civic progress and those who would prevent it. The time for decision and action has come. We know that a majority of the resident home owners want im provements. ' ' We know that as a rule the men who hold vacant property for an ; increase, have more capital and wealth at command, and are better able to help pay for improvements than the small home owner who must depend for his living on a monthly wage. We know that 6uch Rvalue as your vacant property has, is largely due to the homes which these residents have built and kept up. We know that every new home built in this district adds value to your prdperty. When a ma u jority of these home owners come to you asking you to do your share toward civic improvement, are you going to refuse, to balk, to hide! many old women on the national .behind every shadow of excuse, argument or camouflage, in order I committee.

Wise and wily old Nature knows how to deal with the sociological alarmists.

The commonest thin? in the world is also the most won derful thirg in the world and the childless couples are Indeed entitled to all the consolation the statisti cians can give them. The United States in general and Salem in particular will continue to begrudge every little life, every new, little, hungry mouth that fate has denied to us. And we are very anxious, too, just now, that the census enumerators should find all the babies in Salem, rind ail thj ether children from 1 to 100 years old. We will run the risk of scaring the statisticians over the increasing population of the world If we can fhow a little increase for 1920 over our "population figures of 1910; and, confidentially, we might add that the enumerators will have to go some. We Salemites don't believe in the Malthusian theory, any vray.

One of his managers has already been in Minnesota looking over the field. The time does not seem ripe for Hiram W. Johnson even to expect such an honor at the hands of the Republican party. That day may come, pernaps in lour or eignt years. Before It does come Senator John son will have to atone for certain things which happened in California back in 1916. The country has not forgotten that it was this California senator, who stood in the way of the election of a Republican president. By almost a wave of the- hand Sen ator Johnson eould have insured the election of Charles Evans Hughes ever Woodrow Wilson.

The. war and the flu were mere trifles In offsetting the wholesale tigures for the world. So the world probably numbers 2,000,000,000 now. And just when every city in the United States is hopeful that its pop ulation has doubled in the last ten years the sociologists and statisti cians are telling us that they "view with alarm" this rapid increase to tax the world's resources and confi dently predict a world catastrophe as the result. It is mighty hard to get an ambi tious city to become really anxious over dizzy increases in its popula tion. Yet these pessimistic fellows draw a most uncomfortable picture of starving millions in conjunction with the decrease in production and the II. C. of L.

And every state set ting Its face against birth-control; vast armies of doctors everywhere cooperating to prolong the lives of weaklings and invalids; stern sent! ments against the death penalty; and still more virulent sentiments against wars and death-dealing epidemics, Under the harrowing circumstan ces and li is a lugubrious pictutc every country twill urge that It 1 the duty of every other country to practice a little judicious birth-con trol; some of our United States sen alor feel that way rbnnt Japan al ready.

Hut he placed his own personal feelings above those of the inter ests of the Republican party.' For that act be will have to do penance. The best way for Senator Johnson to regain the confidence of the party nationally is by disinterested serv ice for some time to come. He has already demonstrated his ability as a leader in the senate. In the .com ing campaign he will have plenty of opportunity to use hi splendid oratorical ability in behalf of the Republican nominee.
