SALEM'S DUTY TO THE STATE FAIR reputation of Effective laws tor federal reg ulation of explosives ' are pro hibited by the constitution, in the opinion of Dr. Charles .

Harding will hate two rotes in Oregon to Cox one vote; but Oregon ought also to send a Republican .senator to Washing ton to help' get a new deal; to get the country back to tint principles and down to brass tacks. v the port where some T5 per cent ct all the foreign goods entered are, handled. Mr, Wakeman would be one of the outstanding members of the lower house, and one of the most useful In the Harding ' administration. The Statesman hopes he may win. 'Al most we are sometimes persuaded that the United States ought t adopt the British system in elect ing members of tbe popular branch of congress. If that sys tem were In vogue in this country there are dozens of congressional districts that would feel honored by being represented :.by 1 Mh Wakeman.) i i ILWWOOD RECANTS. Sugar is going down to around 16 cents a pound, retail. That Is some progress in tne right di rection. Dut everything above 6 cents a pound Is profiteering, as The Statesman has said many times. Before the war. selling at St a hundred pounds, the beet sugar factories could pay for themselves about every three years, besides paying j dividends and all overhead charges, includ ing renewals tor wear and tea r. it Western , Canada is expecting 100.000 Americans to settle in that country during the present year. No wonder those Canucks are bidding ' high for Oregon money on bonds; and getting it. too; though it is all needed here In our Industries, where It would build up our own country and. This is Salem Day at the Oregon State Fair. , ; It is a good time to consider Salem's duty to this state in atitution. And it is more nearly an institution in which all parts of the state take an interest, as every part of Oregon should, than ever before . - Vconsenuentlv it is a arreater and a better fair than-ever, ' The state fair does not belong to Salem. It belongs to the whole neonle of all Oregon. ? But the direct benefits of the coming together of such great crowds, vrith the consequent business that this makes, accrue to Salem. Therefore every one who has a stake in Salem ought to do evervthinsr humaiilv possible to help make the!; state lair . -i , success. , Every, one here, ought to attend the fair. Every one here ought to help maintain the Salem for hospitality. - Ours is the citv of welcome And we should live up to this idea, this slogan, in the full est and best sense. ; , If. we all would imbibe the Los Augeles spirit - lln the long . run. bring several And go out of oiir several ways to make visitors to the! profit, besides the mere matter state fair feel a welcome in our city lf interest.

In a couple of years the only way to tell the -men and women apart will be that tbe ladies will wear flowers and the men feathers in their bonnets "lUg Bill" Haywood, notorious leader of the I. V. W., expresses himself as deeply grieved that fed eral agents should be making Inl qulries about his whereabouts at the time the Wall street bomb outrage occurred. He said on Sunday in Chicago: ;It is beyond my comprehension : how anyone could associate me or the organ isation of which I am a member with the vicious outrage.",' ' It is, not to be presumed, that the secret service agents suspect that Haywood himself placed the bomb.- He is the king of the 1. V. V. and. like the members of the former reigning houses of Hoheazollern and Hapsburg, he keeps scrupulously away from the firing tine. But It is not surpris ing that one who has preached direct action so broadly and to openly .should be suspected of kfcowlng something as to the iden tity of those who put that preach itig into practice. Haywood's pious horror at. the outrages committed by the bomb planters, however. Is in ill keep ing with the policy of the organ ization which $e represents. If he is going to denounce di rect action his. organization will pot long continue to receive sub sidies rout the Third Internationale. Uenine's recent manifesto warn ed the Communists 'of all lands that they must steel their hearts against pity' for those who , are slain by weapons of the proletar iat in their war against capital; and' direct action Is the weapon that Lenlne recommends. It Haywood's followers were to take him seriously and discon tinue bombing and sabotage he might find himself confronted by the still greater horror of e- Ing compelled to go to work., A leader who advocates bomb throw ing, hut voices a sanctimonious thrown, ' is not likely to awaken mucn enthusiasm among, 'the members of his clan. He Is get ting into tbe parlor Bolshevist class, and they are Without honor. even among the wabblles. - Life one of the official publi cations of tbe bureau, in the cur rent issue, has a prominently dis played article declaring the great Interest the Democratic candidate is alleged to have in education, and seeking to assure the small army of state. countyaid district superintendents and sclfool teach ers generally that Cox will do wonders in increasing their sal aries if elected. No mention is made of Harding in the article by which, the magazine being a government organ, the impression Is sought to be given that the Rer publican candidate has no Inter est in education or a square deal for the teachers whatever. The editor points out -other things de signed as propaganda for the Democratic ticket. 'School Life.; entirely paid for by the govern ment. Is being widely circulated. postage free, at public expense and at great cost, with the idea that It is" perfectly lawful and proper to use the government s educational facilities to boom a party ticket in a national election." I sibility and service can be com bined. Thus far many of the me morial suggestions might be de nominated as of a freak char acter. They would be classed as ex hibitions pr curiosities. There "was the movement, for instance, to rear a mammoth model of the worjd in London and to sculpt ur the war story on the Hudson palisades. A few more years of waiting will suf fice to pass such projects into the discard, but it isn't fair to post pone the planning of our me morials until those who shared In their purpose have a'so parsed away.

Senator Harding refuses to play the demagogue in any par ticular whatsoever. He says that the Irish question is not one with which the American government trp proper!v concern itself. Un der the League of Nations It would be classed as an internal cr domestic question and in no wise can American interference re Justified. As the distinguish ed senator says: "Wie have al ready meddled abroad excess ively." .
