A story of Jimmic Cox's latest con-coxion. allotted time darin? the week tor religions education. We do not want to be in the Fituation that the New York City beard ot education was a few months apo. When asked it they would allot two hours a week for religious teaching' during school hours, they granted a half day. Then the fact was disclosed that teachers were not trained in large enough numbers to take care ot this half day sufficiently and the committee asked for six months to prepare for It. The community training school of Salem for church workers and parents portends a successful win ter's study for this season. It will have two semesters of 12 weeks each, and cover a standard course. Tne committee in cnarge is securing teachers who are the best in their line In the city expert, modern, broad vlsioned people. Good luck to such a school! AT RANDOM Well, here we are again. After giving your readers a five years' vacation, it Is about time to talk over a few things that have oc curred n the meantime, and many things have happened with In the past five years, including a war which Involved every coun try worth while on the globe. "At Random does not hesitate to start the column arfcln becanse ct the popularity of the column five years ago. That the column was popular and everybody liked it was evidenced by the fact that nobody said anything when It stopped running In The States man, neither did, they send out bloodhounds to ' ascertain the whereabouts of "At Random.' ror erect a popular subscription monument to his memory. There fore, it may safely be presumed that the people enjoyed the Idle comment, and what yoar readers have once enjoyed without objec tion or complaint they may en Joy again. Possibly some of that campaign fund was intended to buy - ne hats for. the women Toters. If so. it will be necessary to bunch the amount quite a considerable. It will be recalled that Senator rtielan was elected in California on a fluke la 1914. He was one ct the many -Democratic benefici aries ot the split between the Re publicans and the Progressives that"year. This time it will be different. Los Angeles Times, i is not go'ng to hide himself in a fog of his own raising. We do not recall that a presidential can didate has ever before resorted to the Cox methods and there is even now reason for the belief that no future candidate ever will make a nt ise like Cox Baltimore American. ' Governor Cox charges that the Republican campaign fund is for the purpose ot buying up the vot ers. A ; candidate who ; has any confidence In the appeal be is making to his fellow citizens should be above an aspersfon pa their houesty and right-mindedness. . J f "'" , ' ""' Mr. Cox. Is going to get all the publicity he wants and consider ably more than he wants. But ha At a time when enemies of the nation, at home and abroad, are guilty of an organized attempt to undermine ' and ultimately to overthrow American Institutions by destroying public confidence in their integrity, surely the Am erican people have a right to re quire that the nominees for the presidency of the two great par ties shall not contribute to dis trust of the American system of government by a reckless resort to the sort of charges which Mr. Cox has made but has thus far been unable or unwilling to sub stantiate. Boston Transcript. Although Senator. Harming criticised for his conservatism those who wish America to sume her station in world affair he cannot but be respected by all He spoke from the heart the othtf day when he said:- ' , 'I would a thousand tim4 rather lose the presidency and conscious that I have done somf thing for America and America institutions than gain the presi dency through any word or deei that might weaken faith at hotrfe or abroad' in our free institution or injure the quality ot America manhood." , . f The American people may pla implicit confidence in a man v thinks and speaks in those tcr He does not assume to be al wise, like the present occupant if the White House, but he is j least all-willing.

Premier Lloyd George has said that President Wilson's letter to me naiian premier is not con sistent with his proposals for the Prinkipo conference. Why should It be? mt. Wilson does not have to be consistent. He is above sach a thing. Lloyd George should tnow that by this time. Get ready for the fair. m S Every 'room, every bed and every cot will be needed next wee. - wt. T V Having wasted his time on this coast. Cox turns eastward tonight to waste more ot his time. S it Is "the enemy's country' everywhere in this land, outside of the solid south; and even spots down there show honeycombing signs ot disintegration. "Ohio is not the only state where the people are shouting the praises of the president (Wilson) for having preserved peace in the United States. Our honor has re mained unsullied. The s'ogan HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR will be the most effective argument the Democrats can use in the cam Paign. Who said that? Cox. - . When and where? July 29, 191$, in Washington. He said It to a reporter ot the Washington Pot. S It was an effective sioran, as all men know. The chortling of this same Cox over that slogan shows the caliber ot the man. With him It was and Is anything to win; or anything that gives a glimmer of hope ot winning. He is for the Reds in the Dakota; be compliments Hiram Johnson in Northern California, where John son is popular; be slavers over Hoover in Southern Californ'a. where Hoover is popular; he Is full of prunes in the Willamette valley .and he tries to soft-soap the sheep men here though his platform is for free wool . He is all things to all men and women for votes or the hope of catching votes. But he fool no one. and everybody has his number and his measure. And nts number Is a goose egg. and his measure is halt the length ot a gnat s heel. TAKING A DROP. The New York baby who turn .

Ileres hoping that yon may find something of interest In the short paragraphs running un der the captain of "At Random. Philip Gibbs, an Englishman of note, has an interesting article In the June number of Harper's in which he deals with the ques tion of comparative liberties en Joyed in America In contradistin ction to that of England, writing under the caption of. "What Eng land Thinks of America." Gibbs pays the present administration left-handed compliment In dis cussing so-cslled American liber ties, of which he says that there I ? n't nearly so much liberty In the United States, a republic, as in England, a monarchy. In illustration he cites that dnr In? the war every citlxen of Eng land was free to criticise the gov era ment. and the work performed by the army and navy, and that no one lost an opportunity to slam the government If that was the way they thought about it. In the Unlred .States, however, citi zens were strictly prohibited from criticising the government, the minority voice was squelched and ritical expressions were at once uppressed. Of conscientious ob jectors, he says that they were badly handled in the United States, while in England they were sallowed to have such views and to openly express them. Here, he declares, with out boasted lib erties, newspapers were censored and all Lews to the people, who owned the country passed through an administration hopper. All this, says Gibbs. serves to show liberty st work In a repub lic and in a monarchy. As a re sult of the mighty headlong pow er capable of being Talsed over night In a democracy, care must be used In preserving the rights of the minority. Gibbs also has fears of a growing misunder standing between the masses In England and the United States. and assertar that every effort should be made to correct such prevailing misapprehension be fore it may lead to serious com plications. He also sees a species of the French revolution liable to break out In the United States, and ot which, by the war. the recent explosion la New Tork tray be cited In support ot Gibbs' statements. While Gibbs paints a- multi-colored picture for ns. being an Englishman, he may not wholly understand us. and may eatertaln fears we do not consid er of much Importance. We Co lots of talkin? over here In Am erica, but. so far. everything has come out allright "in the wash." as they say in democratic diplo matic circles. i Whatever value" we may place upon a foreigners observations, we are at least interested In what they have to say or us. The Gibbs article Is interesting. Jut because a woman likes to ride In an automobile Is no good reason for any strange man to run his car up to the curb and ask her to ride. At least so thinks one Salem woman. And. she fur ther avers, thst It Is becoming regular practice, with some at least, to scour the streets for lone women, or couples, and ask them to to ont riding. Recently she was approached by strange man in an automobile, refused his In vitation, .took the number of his car, called np the police station far his name, and found the "car was from a small town north ot Salem. i This rather Indignant woman sygresig mat tne women s pro tective, bureau should put out sev eral decoys on this Job and. after getting into a rJaehine wRh strange man. steer him over to the police station. At the station, if they had an X-ray machine, they could look Into his heart and see what he had in it when he made the proposal, and punish or re ward him. accordingly". t The up-to-date girt 4s aot to be eaeezed at.
