A landslide is coumig to California iu the November elcc-
the Democratic stalwarts who have heretofore eon-
tributed their money and given their time and dlvpted their
talents to the success of the Democrats are coining; over lo uie
Republican side. I ! x. - ,
M. r . Tarpey ot r resno, iormer uemucraue nuu v,
mitteeman, is one. He explains:
"I have reached the time pi me wnen l wani io uc a y-
nfUi .hin -nsmtisan !
Mr Tarpey tells his friends he comes, to the Republican
party in a modest mien, willing to be a powaerooy aim iu
u-nrV in ht ar.ritv. - He savs:
1 "The real prosperity of this nation DEPENDS UPON A
! PROTECTIVE TARIFF. Particularly is this true in California,
'where our raisins, figs, prunes, oranges, lemons, almonds and
i rice must be protected against cheap labor in foreign countries
land cheap freight rates. in foreign bottoms.' 5 .
Jcseph II. Hall of Los Angeles, a former Democratic btate
Committeeman, is another, lie says:

words, I do not approve of any one of the Wilsonian policies,
past or present. The English language is too impoverished to
portray, at this time, the gross incompetency and the execu
tive and legislative debauchery of the Democratic.party. Cox
is specifically pledged to the support of all the Wilsonian pol-
t, - i. :" . ' ':. ' . .
IMM - .
Milton K. Young, also of Los Angeles, and formerly Dem
ocratic State Committeeman and wheel-horse of the party for
mativ rears, is another. He concludes a lengthy statement, in
which he accuses his former party with being in the doldrums
of a "whole miserable business of a labyrinth of fair promises,
ifalse pretenses and deception' and concludes:
"For the reasons given, and believing that the safety of
i the nation lies in -nhe election of Senator Harding, and also,
: believing that the capacity, of the Republican party only can
i lift this nation from the distress of , the "Wilson administration,
'I shall vote for and support the Republican nominee for Presi-
,dent.";. ;.,. ...,.yS; i 1 . ' Z: , ,
! There is no doubt that the attitude of these three out-
standing California men refle'cts what is being felt by hundreds
, , of thopsands of voters in this country who under other condi
' tions would be supporting the candidates of the Democratic
: partv for1 President and Vice President.
' , The, writer knows it reflects the attitude of numbers, of
s Salem and Oregon voters of that political faith.
' . . : The landslide in Maine shows that it reflects the attitude
of thousands of Democrats m lthe Pine Tree State.

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

school!

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

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.

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

regular practice, with some at
least, to scour the streets for lone
women, or couples, and ask them
to to ont riding. Recently she
