Somebody is always taking the joy out of life. An extraordinary Republican majority was foreshadowed in Ohio by the recent primary. There were 2S0.0OO Republican votes cast against 125.000 Democratic. Yet som? folks claim that Cox will carry Ohio. ' Entered at the Postoffice In Salem, Oregon, as second class matter. In spite of the methods of the ward heeler being utilized by Governor Cox on the stump, it is a safe guess that the American people will not be Rarnumized. American people want straight, just dealing and none of the ricks of the demagogue. WHAT WILL H. HAYS SWORE TO THE TRUTH Scott C. Hone, editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, is bead of the publicity department of the Republican National Committee, with his headquarters in New York. Mr. Bone 'on Sunday sent the following dispatch to The Statesman : ' Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Com mittee, made" the following statement here today: "According to the public reports, Governor Cox yesterday made the following accusation against me i personally : I charge that Will IL Hays perpetrated a deliberate falsehood when he said under oath that there was no quotas.! "In my written statement read to the Senate committee on August 30th in Chicago, and which is now in the record of that hearing, I aaids Tentative quotas were fixed by the treasurer's office, all tentative and as a goal, always high, of course, for the particular state tt drive for, and changing constantly. : J " " 'At different periods different quotas have been sug gested by .the treasurer's office; as tentative goals in different states, and the state committees themselves have fixed different quotasThesej as above suggested, are changing constantly, and always of course, were made very much higher than either necessary or, anticipated. The fact is, the quotas meant little. Furthermore', whatever may have been suggested as quotas D over zealous solicitors in their enthusiasm in different localities, the fact remains that a certain amount was believed necessary, and the budirct above referred to was indicated therefor, which is 13,079.037.20, for the use. of the National Committee.; When this amount was fixed as the bud eet, that became the sum fixed ) for the treasurer to reach, and the purpose became definite. The fact at all times remains that the treasurer is driving to collect enough and no more than enough to meet the necessary expenses, estimated to be something in excess of three million dollars. - " These are the facts: -; "Let the. public judge as to the truth or falsity of Gover nor Cox'a accusation. It has the same reckless irresponsibility flj his claim of fifteen million5 dollars. Further comment on the reliability of his statements is unnecessary." : .- : IN AND OUT OF AUTOMOBILES - It might be well to remember that Harry T. Burns, the member of the Tennessee legislature who changed his vote and made pos sible the ratification of the equal suffrage amendment to the con stitution, is a Republican. What do you know about the Importance of grains and grain products, as a basic industry for Salem and the Salem district? It Is the Salem slogan subject for The Statesman of Thursday. It is your duty as a loyal citizen to tell what you know today, or tomorrow. ; All this means that , the fever for extravagance has been check ed and Americans who went up in the clouds ate down to brass tacks again. It's a Wholesome return. The period of violent spending was one of near insanity on the part or a nation. It was occasioned chiefly by the relief felt at the end of the war. Thousands of people who had been forced to save during the period of conflict and at the same time had enjoyed big wages found themselves with the means to go on a spending spree. The unwise indulged in it; the sensible kept their savings in Liberty bonds. Many of the spenders have cotne to the end of their monetary tether. They have had what they call a good time and now they must forego the luxuries for which they made such a mad grab after the cx-kaiser chased himself into Holland. With the ending of the era of extravagance is likely to depart also the lean ing toward Bolshevism. The workers recognize thac they have to work and they are not so sure tut It's pleasanter than pleasure. Governor Cox is booked for two visits to Los Angeles In Sep tember. He must have a lot of time on bis hands. Los Angeles Times. Anyone does, who cars two visits to that city in on month. But the Times means that Cox can do no business In Los Angeles. It's all over there already but! the voting.

Maybe the general better search some of the editors and politic ians of this coast before he speaks fo b rashly. RESTING KASY. It Is acknowledged by some of those who are doing It. that the Democrats are violating the fed eral law by soliciting' funds from the federal brigade. What hai Cox to say! about this? ? Nothing, of course. He thinks "slush funds' are all ri&ht. so long as they get Into Democratic hands, so they may be used to help his own campaign. 1 V ; ' (New York Tribune). 1 . "We. hatter ourselves in America that we haveit't and never shall have anything approaching- a caste system5. But in so doing we forget the automobile. A man in an automobile is very different from a man outside an automobile. , In very important respects each is the antithesis of the other. " ; The man on the street says to himself as he strides aeross the thoroughfare in the middle of the bloek, "Yes, blow your horn ; I know where I'm going. You think you own the street, don't vout You're breaking the law right now, and if you run into me I'll have the testimony ol a dozen witnesses to prove von were 'exceeding the sDeed limit. Aha! That gave you a joltdidn't iff Thought you were going to have a manslaughter case on your hands, didn't you! That's the way to teach them to be careful. Linger along ana seem to ue going to stop ngui in front of them.- Make 4hem throw on the emergency brake and swear. - I certainly know how to. get them wild' Next vear the oedestriaii beintr. besides a year older, a little more prosperous, buys an automobile himself. Then he sits downj behind the.steenng wheel and grits his teeth and calls them jay walkers when they cross the street inopportunely in his path. "Why, the poor fish!" he groans. "Doesn't he know it's hard enough to keep an engine; running properly without all this rearing back and starting up again! Aren't the trafficjlaws sufficient to drive a man insane without these idiots dashing in front of you at every corner! They must think I've got this car hypnotised so I can stop it without any notice at all. If they knew how' little control adriver really has over his ma chine they'd look twice before they'd For the love of llow in Heaven's name did I miss him!" - But it's not a caste system, after all, because the motorist and man on the street, however different, are interchangeable. Switch them about and they simply alter their points of view and keep right oa railing at one another. Even the 'bus pas senger who has just stepped off the curb has a superior air to wards the lowly wayfarer; The automobile is a sort of Roman chariot, and the man or woman who steps into it is imbued with a tinge of the Imperial spirit of a conqueror. The Paris papers admire Wal ton's note on the Polish situa tion and declare' that he thinks In terms or continents and gen erations. That is one trouble that Americans have had with him. They think he has been dis posed to neglect his own ' conti nent and generation for the sake of posterity. WJiat has posterify done for us. any way? IIUOTHK1LS OF CLOOD.

That there are more than 4.000.f00.o00 pounds of virgin (new) wool in the world's storehouse, or will soon be. awaltinr manufacture. thai the textile manufacturers of the United States used 113,00ft.- 000 fewer pounds of virgin wool last year than in 1918 and that the drop will probably be greater this year were some of the state ments which Alexander Walker made recently in his annual ad dress as president of the National Sheep and Wool Hureau of Am erica, whore headquarters Is at No. 23 East Jackson boulevard. The conference was the mot important annual meeting in the history of the bureau. MeKtit-e ltrvolutkmary The National Sheep and Wool Bureau of America is an organi zation of organizations and firms Interested In the sheep and wool industry In every part of the United States. For a year, it has been engaged in getting the, peo ple or tne country togetner be hind the French-Capper truth In rabric bill, which was left In the hands of the interstate and for eign commerce committees of both houses of concreFs at ad journment. If enacted. It would compel manufacturers to stamp every yard of their wool cloth en tering interstate commerce with Its content of vlrgtnVool and of wool substitutes, the chief of which is shoddy old rags, re worked in some cases as often as eight times. Textile manufac turers consider the measure as revolutionary as the pure food law. which was fought by the in terests for 26 years. If the French-Capper truth In Fabric bill Is not passed qniHc ly so as to open the eyes of the public to the fact that the textile manufacturers are meeting their I demand for virgin wool cloth with reworked rags." remarked llyron Wilson, secretary of the Wyoming Wool Growers' association, one of the best informed wool men west of the Mississippi river, "there will soon be no wool grown In the United States to supply their de mand and no sheep for food pur poses either. Sheep men cannot continue to grow sheep. If the tex tile manufacturers will not buy their wool at a living profit." His remarks were strongly sec onded by J. F. Walker, president of ike Flee Wool States' asso ciation and chairman of the Wool committee of the American Farm Bureau federation. , ' Allowance Far Short He continued: I doubt If the manufacturers are allowing the people of the I nlted Slates three pounds of virgin wool per capita this year. They need twelve pounds per cap ita. I remember a short time ao visiting a certain woolen mill. There wasn't a pound of virgin wool on the premises nothing but shoddy. They were turning out woolen blankets of straight shoddy, which should not have re tailed for more than $13 a pair. When I returned to Chicago. I found these blankets selling at the leading department store for $4a a pair. A competitor had a spe cial tale of the blankets for $39.S0 a pair." George M. Wilber. executive committeeman of the Ohio Sheep and Wool Growers' associa'ion. gave It as his opinion that the shee; industry of America can only be saved by the producers and consumers getting together. He said: "The people want vtrgln wool cloth and the people receive re worked rags from the textile can ufacturers in its stead. The tex tile manufacturers can make mere money by using re-oworked raks in their 'all wool cloth than h?y could by buying virgin wool from the sheep men at a fair rraice and using that. I saw an announce ment the other day that a steam er had arrived with 1.700 tons of rags from Antwerp and 52 bales of rags and cuttings from Ger many for the American shoody mills. I wonder how our people would feel, if they knew they were being clothed" in re-worked German rags?" American Grower I President Walker safd in his address that the unsold British government s colonial woolens amount to 929.777.2S0 pounds and the stored wool in this coun try, to 421.031.547 pounds. These amounts are exclusive of the 1?20 wool clip, which the British gov ernment experts estimate at 2. 700.000,000 pounds.. The Ameri can clip anioun's to about 2 f-j , 000.000 pounds. These firures do not include reserve rupplics in various parts of the world, such as South Africa and South Amer ica. He pointed out that, though wool is accumulating in store houses, the world produces less than a third of the virgin wool It needs annually. He estimate! that the wool growers or the United States lost $75.000. COO In the drop of 25 cents a pound In the price of raw wool early this summer. All officers and members cf the Bureau's executive committee and governing board were re-elected at tbe meeting. J. R. II 3 ward, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, was added to the list of governors. The offi cials for the coming year are: Alexander Walker, vice-cresldent of Strong. Hewat Jfc Co..

Chicago, sec retary. Committee Roosta Bill It was decided to appoint two committees to take Charge of tbe work In unifying the efforts of organizations In behalf of the French-Capper truth In fabric bill. Dr. J. M. Wilson, president of the Wyoming Wool Growers associa tion, was selected to head the committee that will operate west of the Mississippi river. J. F Walker, president of the Fleece Wool States' association, was se lected to head the'commltee that will operate cast of th- Mississip pi river.
