SALEM TO HAVE A NEW HOSPITAL BUILDING
(iood new is conveyed to the people of Salem and all this part
of Oregon in the information carried in The Statesman of this morn

next ran. .
The plans of the hospital board, when they shall have been fully
carried out, will result in a modern and magnificent hospital build
ing, furnished with all the latest appliances for carrying on the
work of such an institution, as called for by the'best lights of the
science of medicine and surgery.
As the writer understands it, the whole, when finally worked
but, will represent. an expenditure of away above $100,000.
Whether the entire work is expected to be completed befor?
September lst, the writer is not informed.
' Uut the eventual completed work will result in a monument of
which Salem will be proud.

a greater sliow place than it is now.
urges the removal of useless em
ployes from nonproducing business,
the speeding up of all lines of indus
try in proportion to the activity of
the farmers, and a resolution on the
part of merchants and jobbers to
content themselves with a reasonable
profit on their wares. If all people
were in the producing class to the
extent that the farmers show today
it would help a lot, but in business
there are tbausands and thousands
who are no better than excess bag
gage and who take rather than give.
When all the people are busied in
some avenue of actual production
and the manufacturers and retailers
content themselves with a just and
reasonable profit as determined by
popular sentiment the country ill
again find itself back on a sate and
sane basis and the gospel of discon
tent will be no more preached.
At present the farmer is doing bet
ter than any other class in achieving
this desirable program at least that
is the judgment of the new secretary
of agriculture as far as he. has got.

ers. the German papers are asking
what the attitude of America would
be if the allies bad lost the war and
Germany had demanded the surrend
er of President Wilson and General
Pershing.
The question is not pertinent.
Whatever else may be said about
the activities of the Americans
named they certainly didn't start the
war. The president's skirts are clear
ou that point. It took a lot of prod
ding to induce him to $el ready

'There should be no thought of discouragement over the damage
to some fruit buds and fruit trees, in certain sections of the territory
surrounding Salem, from the freezing weather of some weeks ago";
which damage is now being examined bv United States Department
Agriculture experts. There should: be no thought of, the digging
up of fruit trees. Where grafting is necessary, that ought to be
resorted to. Our fruit trees are too valuable to be dug up. We
have not enough of them, of the right varieties. We should have
a hundred times more of them.
Now, let's all hope for the best from the United States Senate;
the best for this country and for the world. Procrastination has
caused great confusion ; made for stupendous losses; cost vast num
bers of lives. These can never be recalled. Uut all thi is no rea

GETTING TOGETHER.
British cables carry the informa
tion that the new level registered by
the pound sterling in American ex
change has brought the British pub
lic to a realization that there is some
thing fundamentally wrong with its
plan for industrial and economic re
construction. Conferences are being
held by government heads, financiers
and labor union leaders to discuss
the situation.
These conferences will come . to
naught If all concerned do not take
a sober reckoinng ot where the so
cialistic experiments of the British
government are leading. The rate
of exchange is falling because the
British Investors themselves . have
lose faith In British industrial se
curities. The government has taken
over the railroads; a government
committee has recommended taking
over the coal mines, and the recent
elections will show that the labor
union party in the house of com
mons is gaining favor with the gen
era! public.
Security of Investment alone be
gets confidence. There can be no
security where a government threat

alize the industry. American invest
ors will not purchase British securi
ties, irrespective of price; neither
will the investors ot other countries.
It is also true that British capital
is now seeking investment in Ameri
can industries. The British investors
have plainly lost confidence in their
government, and, . until that confi
dence is restored, capital will not be
forthcoming to rehabilitate the Brit
ish Industries.
It is possible the latest fall In the
British exchange will bring some of
the politicians to their senses; and
that it will lead the British public
to a realization that government in
terference in industry threatens fl
nanciat ruin to the whole country,
