THE SPEECH OF GOVERNOR COX U SALEM
The Island of Yap, which be
longs to the United States as a
result of the war, "has a popula

coinage shrinkage. A rock is the
medium of exchange, and the ts-
You are going to sit up and
take notice of the Industrial im
portance and future of Salem,
when you read the Salem slogan
pages of The Statesman of Thurs
day. Pointers are In order, if
you have any.
No thinking person imagines
that a political party will delib
erately lose an election 'for lack
of legitimate organization and ef
fort which can be bought with
money if the money is easily
available. And the money Is
constituted authority iu a dozen
troubled places. The trouble
comes from a lack of agreement
about the meaning of the terms.
Our government Is not a pure
democracy and probably it never
will be. The essential difference
between a republic and a demo
cracy is that the former operates
upon the principle of delegating
authority to those who are best
qualified to exercise it. and the
latter reserves all right of de
cision and action to the whole
mass of the people.
This conflict of Ideas Is " not
confined to the a Hairs of govern
ment It Is creeping Into Indus
try Itself. The repudiation of the
leadership of brains. In favor of
numbers. Is at the bare of all the
red radicalism of Europe.
But even in Russia the Bolshe
vists finally round out that they
could not make an engine go un
less they had a man who knew
how to put water in the boiler.
Much of it was contrary to the
basic principles of their com
munist teaching, they had to come
to the realization that numbers
cannot displace brains.
The experience of the ages has
taught the 'wisdom of the plan
of ' selective leadership. The
tasks of life should go to those
who are fitted to perform them
and the same principles should
rule In government that rule In
private affairs. Education, tech
nical! skill and natural genius are
the elements which determine the
fitness of persons for selective
tasks. No government can be a
true success that does not recog
nize. this principle. The idea of
thrusting upon the shoulders of
the whole people the problem of
determining the details of gov
ernment is no more sensible than
asking every person In the street
to repair yonr watch.
THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN
By GENE BYRNES
WIL&OX ALOXK RESPONSIBLE
Governor Cox had a good crowd in Salem yesterday; the
Aminrv was foil. And he had an attentive audience.
Many earnest people were-thereopmg to hearjrom the L d h rocks
lips of the uemocraiie canaiuaie xur i n-swcui Bumciuiug reu
nite, 'something elucidating; some plain statements concerning
hia attitude on the outstanding issues of the campaign.
They were disappointed. . i .
Mr, Cox spoke very pleasingly concerning the heroic sacri
fices of the boys from Ohio and the boys from Oregon who
fought side by side on'the ensanguined fields of France with
out respect to what political faiths they had ; without regard to
religious beliefs.
He indulged in a lot of mud slinging concerning certain al
leged "quotas" of some of the solicitors for subscriptions to the
Republican campaign funds. .
Jle tried to show that the Republican party leaders are re
actionary : that thev are linked up with the wealthy people of
th United States: that a Senatorial f oligarchy" nominated one
of their number. Senator Harding, for Presideut. :

But he did not tell his audience how he stands on the wet
and dry issue. :"
But be did not tell them anything about being for the strict
enforcement of the laws, against bootleggers and Reds of high
and low' degree.
But . he did hot tell them that the poor lady clerks in the
federal offices all over the country are being assessed to swell
the Democratic campaign tunds; and that the sky is the limit in
contributions asked for that fund.
But he did not say a single thing that was definite and con
structive.':' Vv Myrf -v ' 'W' rV''V-;.'"-1
HThreetimthr theotirse of his speech, he seemed to be
leading up. to a positive, declaration.
. First, he asked the members of the audience if some of them
were wool growers. Then he asked them if they would not UKe

written by Ros Barnes, and declared, that the woolen mills of

a whirlwind of caustic comment

ing changes are being made at
America's gateway Ellis Island
by Immigration Commissioner
Frederick A. Wallls. who propos
es to make the big immigration
station more comfortable for the
newcomers to the United States.
Freedom and sunshine is be
ing planned for the new arrivals
by the commissioner who has
Just announced plans for Improv
ing conditions in general on the
Island. Larger buildings are to
be a3ked. he said, sanitary condi
tions imrroved. additional cots
provided for those unable to get
beds and many other convenienc
es for the immigrant are to be
Installed.
Kind and decent treatment for
all new arrivals has been demand
ed by Commissioner Wallia who
has already announced the dis
charge oX some of the veteran at
tendants for alleged harshness or
Inefficiency in receiving Immi
grants. Their places have been
filled by more courteous, atten
tive and younger men.
"I propose to make this re
ceiving station representative- of
all America promises." he said.
Commissioner Wallls assorted
that he planned to Install baths
at the island in order that every
individual entering the country
will be given a bath and have his
clothes sterilised before be en
ters the station.
"They made our soldiers do
this. he said, "bo why not make
our immigrants. This will be a
big step toward preventing dis
ease from entering our gates ana
will have a great moral and phy
siological effect."
One or the latest Improvements
by Commissioner Wallls has been
the supplying of warm milk to
mothers with bab'es. This was
done as soon as the commissioner
learned that chilled milk made
the inttnta sick.

Railroads have also been asked
by the commissioner to provide

Musical Notes
Every Colombia Grafonola is sdcntincdly de
signed and built up to round out every musical
note that the record carries. Every tone shade,
soft or brilliant, is picked up and carried to you
accurately by the
Columbia Grafonola
You get trprfurti&tj of exactly what the artists
themselves produced on the original wax.
The straight metal one-piece tone arm allows the ?
music to develop fully and naturally. Distorted '
tones are impossible. Pure, clear, well-rounded music
comes to you with all its original harmony and tonal
richness. .
And when the last musical notes fade away, then
'ind only then the Columbia Grafonola stops, for
- the Nen Set Automate Step found exchuivelj on the
.Columbia Grafonola makes it stop. .Never stops
- before it should. Always stops at the very end.
Nothing to move or set or measure. Come in and
