Entered at the Postofflce la Salem, Oregon, as second class matter, NOBLESSE OBLIGE: A FIT SLOGAN The people of Los Angeles need it, probably, less than Ihe people of any eity of Airieriea, or of the world;. but the Times, ihe great newspaper of fhat eity thereatest newspaper in the world in point of number of pages printed each week has de cided to conduct a slogan campaign forli full year, on ''Noblesse 'oblige." : - -. !.-. ':! .. It came about through ah editorial printed by the Times some days ago, the trend of "which was to invoke the spirit of 'Noblesse Oblige. It was an able editorial., rA correspondent 'named John Strong, of Los Angeles, commended the editorial ' and its spirit and challenged the Times to opeii a department " and have suncr the Draises of the snirit of "Noblesse Oblitre lor a full twelve anonths. '. i The idea annealed to the snot-tins snirit of the editor of the Times, and to the idea oTihe obligations of a great newspaper along the lines of service to the highest interests and ideals of its community, its state, the nation and the world f ' : In short, to "Noblesse Oblige'' in newspaperdom. ! "N-oblesse Oblige" is French ; it means nobility obliges. Webster defines it thus: "Oftn used to denote the obli gation of honorable and generous behavior associated with rank ;. or birth.". . ) ' . :. -. The slogan eampaign being undertaken. by the Times will no doubt result in great benefit to that eity and to the" whole " country. Los Angeles, as was intimated above, needs that kind of a campaign less than most cities probably less than any eity of the entire world '' -, m For Los Angeles has long wisely capitalized the virtue of : .hospitality ' ' - , v Has made Los Angeles what The Statesman has so frequent ly claimed Salem' was or should be the "City of Welcome; j The people down Los Angeles way work at this, as the peo pie of Salem should do. They strive to make "the stranger feel at home. They try to make the new comer, glad he (or she) came. They go out of their way to make things pleasant for and agreeable to the new arrivals, on whatever errand, whether for business, or for pleasure. They deem it time well spent, and ;' it surely is. . l' "f-Los Ahgeles'lias grown rich and great on the exploitation v of the idea embraced in the title, City of Welcome, which The . Statesman hopes to have Salem wear, becomingly; and live up to it, in the spirit of municipal or mass "Noblesse Oblige. mistake which he did not make, because he felt that It was M obligation to have prevented the mistake. . ' "You'll excuse me Just a mo ment while I look over thes? proofs," he raid one day recently to a campaign official, with whom he was talking In his home when a man came in with proof sheets from the Star. "I shouldn't think yon would bcther with those." his guest re monstrated, ''when your time H aa valuable as It Is now. Some one else could read proof." ; "I used to think, that." Mr. Harding replied, "and then my editorial writer wrote those Roosevelt editorials, for' which I have been blamed.' j The campaign official thought Mr. Harding thould make that known, but he shook his head, j It was my fault." he said. "It was my paper. 1 wan responsible for It. and If I shirk! the rpon- tibility I must take thebtame This recalls the fact that It was Senator Harding who led the fight on the floor of the senate but a trifle more than 12,000,000 a day back jn 1914, when the country' was "hollering" . over billion-dollar congresses and the Democrats were promising economy. It does beat all how many good Democrats are coming to the aid of the Republican party In t.he present campaign. It recalls a cane rush. Give em a chance. The Republican national com mittee claims the election of 23 senators at the November ballot ing. But let not him that putteth on ths harness boast like him who taketh It off, or words to that effect: - 7 turn . of business relations be tween the two countries. ' Hut if it in based upon a com plete repudiation by Russia of ail its obligations, industrial England will see Russia go to the rack first. A bloody slate cannot be a clean one. Russia skeins, -to have some gold available for Le nine's propaganda, but none for the payment? of debts. I ! 3&6 ' But "Noblesse! Oblige" means still more." It is the spirit of the Master giving the world the doctrine that the greatest shall r be servant to the least. It is he spirit of the good French King f 'who honed that the time mighf come when every French family might have a chicken in the pot for the Sunday dinner. It is the spirit that impels the riclt man to consider it a disgrace to die rich: that causes him to regard his wealth as a trust to be administered for the good of his fellow men. It is the spirit that j has brought about ,the 'enactment of child labor legislation ; cre ated accident commissions in nearly all our states; set up juve nile and women's courts ; is striving to have better care taken of orphans and the children of unfortunate birth. . It is the spirit that stops the limousine (or the Ford) to take up the poor man or woman. on the "way from work. It is the spirit that would make a new world by lifting up the lowly without pulling down the men and women of high estate. It is h trje spirit that gives the taleAted and educated man or woman a I sense of obligation to enlighten the masses. : Tt U the flolden Rule in action. ' ' It i the forerunner of the 'millennium that may never be reached, but the approach to which, ever so slowly, makes this ' old world a little better each passing year. ' The lioa Anseles slouan. if it were taken up and followed by every city in the United States, would go a long waylowards I: in a c6tintry where there should be no classes and therefore ! no' class hatred. : 4'- j - ' '.. ' '" If ever the Salem Slogan editor gets through proving to the w orld that Salem and the Salem district have more solid basic industries and interests than any other city or district under the . shining sun, making for a Gibralter prosperity here-rwhich they y have he may find rqom for a year's slogan campaign on the l spirit of "Noblesse Oblige." -J Next Thursday's Saiera slogan pages of The Statesman will be "full of prunes." and they will prove that the prune Industry in the Salem district is up and com ing, despite the fact that, there were some losses this year on account of the unusual rains. If you can help in making this proof conclusive, It Is your duty to do so. " HAHDIXf I CHKATE3 STltOXtJ I 1 FKKLlXtJ OF COX FJ DKN'tTI. . The straw votes In the New England states show that the men ate about two to one for-Hard- leg, and the women about three and a half to one. Looks like the ladies are the "better halves" In helping to get the country back to , business and first principles, and down to brass tacks, as they have ever been in many other good ways. r It Is becoming more apparent every day that the San Francisco convention was a horrible waste of time. - A gardener is a man who raises a few things; a farmer a man who raises many things, and a middle man one who raises everything.

Mr. Kin caid was for many years publish er of the Eugene Journal; at one time he was the oldest editor in point of continuous service in Oregon. While serving as secre tary of state he took great pride in the beautifying of the capitol grounds. The great variety of trees and shrubbery from many countries', on the capitol grounds were the result of the work of Mr. Kincaid.

He was a young musician in the band that j went to Marion with the "Harding Theatrical league," who expressed what is the .gene ral impression made by "the Re-J publican nominee for the presi dency. '', -. ' .. : "When I was a little rellow. he told one of the older theatrical men after he had met -Senator Harding, "my father was a travel ing man and away from home a good deal. And when' hewas uway I always felt a little nerv ous. I wasn't quite sure we were safe. Something might happen, and I was uneasy. Then when he came, home it' was as though a load -was lifted. I drew a long breath of j relief. Father was home and nothing could happen to us now, j " You know, when I met Mi.' Harding I! felt exactly the same way. Father's come home and ! everything's going - to te all i right." Father's, conje home'' express es the strong feeling of confidence that Warren CJ. Harding gives everyone who . mets him person ally and shakes hands with him. It Is u peusation of safety and protection that appeals la all men nd women who remember when they were! children and were as much afraid of the dark, or a tor nado, or some intangible unnamed terror, as they are now of a Red revolution,! a financial panic, or pledged obligation to sen a the flower of the country to quell a quarrel in the Caikans or Central' Africa. , ; That Is one reason the women of the country are for Harding. The "Harding for President oman club In Marion has more than 2000 members. Many of these are Women who have known senator naming since ne was a ooy. Others have grown up know ing him as one of the substantial. respected, j kindly citizens of the town. They take into account, loo, the fact that his wife always has been and always will be an asset in his political, business and social life. The women of his home ,city can trust Senator Harding, their - trust based on their personal acquaintance and iiiendshty with him. Theyknrw his background. They all knqw It .disproves an old argument that women always would vot6 Vlttt their husbands. . Xmong these la the wife of the prosecuting attor ney,' elected on the Democratic ticket. Because the women who know him best are- Senator Harding's enthusiastic supporters It another reason why women generally are for Harding. - "I'm going to vote for Hard ing,' a clerk in a Chicago de partment store told a woman buy ing hosiery from her. "because I'vek Just been down to Marion visiting my cousin and her boy worked for Mr. Harding for years. They know hira and they think he's one of the finest men that ever lived." Women are for' Harding be cause they, as well as men, ap preciate the quality of a man who quietly accepts the blame for a to permit Colonel Roosevelt to go abroad with bii battalion. And ll was the memorial speech he made before the joint houses of the Ohio legislature, when Theoi dore Roosevelt died, which Mr Roosevelt's sitter. Mrs. Douglas Robinson, said was oA of the most wonderful tributes ever paid her brother. j Women are for Harding be-! canrf they admire a man who does what he thlnls I right fear' lexsly and regardless of any pres sure that may be brought to bear. In Senator Harding's speech of acceptance are several state-' ments which his advisers tried to persuade vhim to omit. After care ful thought and eonsideraton of what they said, he refuted. "I am sure that Is right." he said. "and I'll have to leave It In. Senator Harding's record shows that he voted and worked for woman suffrage. In his speech of. acceptance he pledges himself to -'every forward step In unshackling child labor and elevating conditions of wo man's employment." to "effect ively aid in solving the problem of ample and becoming housing of Its citizen-hip." and to "the budget system. which will put the government on the same economical basis upon' which every wise woman runs her household. lirt already long enough to et- pofe him to the world as the moit (rret-tonsiblj purveyor of palpable untruTs ever nominated for the presidency by either party. We quote from the Associated Press report of hla speech at Baa Diego. Cal. "If Newberry bad not sat in the senate." Cox added, "we would have had the League of Nations. If he had not been put on .the senate foreign relations committee by Henry Cabot Lodge the senate would have ratltied the league with helpful and. ni t emasculating reservations." . Any voter,- male or female. Re publican, or" Iemocrat. can find out for himself or herself that the Republicans organized the senate after congressional elec tions of November. 1918, with a majority of two and that Senator Newberry of Michigan was not, and Is not, a member of the com mittee on foreign relations. Far ther investigation will show that he was not even considered for that committee by the committee on committees. The Republicans did not depend upon Senator New- rial business aad at the expense ought U havt tu" official lie official business taken av'iy t iheua at their own m- toon will have. M WHAT KFJTIILICAX4 nui,. MKXT IX THK lUlXE C'AMPAIGX. TWO XKW OXES. Mendacity Is rapidly becoming a habit with Mr. Cox. Before one of his falsehoods, can be refuted he quickly springs another. Yes terday he added two more to a berry's vote to organize the ser. tie. and even if he bad been a member of the committee on for eign relations, the report of tlst committee against the uncon ditional ratification of the unam ended treaty would not have been dependent upon the vote of Sen ator Newberry. The .statements of Mr. Cox to the contrary and false In their every word. To Intimate that he did not know they were raise when he made them would be to Insult his Intelligence. He began his cam paign by making his own the falsehood embodied In his Plat form concerning the speech of Senator Lodge, delivered before the Massachusetts Historical soci ety before the armistice. In the face of the fact that the platform reference was false. He followed ur that falsehood with the charge that the Republicans were at tempting to buy the presidency with a fifteen million dollar slain fund, and the refutation of that falsehood by abundant evidence. Instead of bringing from Mr. Cox retraction and apology, brings only two new falsehoods, the stupid ones with which he en livened hla San Diego speech. The pity Is that either, party should have nominated for the highest office In the gift of the American people a man with whom men dacity ts fast becoming a habiL Boston Transcript.
