We take it that President-elect Harding will appoint as many Democrats as members of bin cab inet as President Wilson named Republicans in his. That ought to be fair enough. Exchange. The contract for rebuilding the shattered Democratic organiza tion, it is understood, has been let to Harney ilaruch, the soft treading Wall street millionaire. Harney has quite a smile, but that won't be enough. It is now announced that the tovernment will close the brewer ies where they are making stufi with an alcoholic content in ex cess of the provisions of the Vol stead law.

Of this number 10, 000 are in the government hos pitals, and civil institutions are man Catholic church in this coun try from 12.000,000 members in 1912 to 16,000,000 In 1919, and despite many evidences of Its 1 old upon the people, we have Wen tlow to realize the unique position which It occupies inter nationally as a result of recent develop inents. Heiiedict XV. with Cardinal Uasparri as his astute adviser, has , adopted a policy which not only recognizes America more ade quately than ever before in the church, but also frankly aims at regaining that temporal power which a series of disasters, cul minating with the "Imprison-ir-ent" of the Ppoe in 1S71, swept away. By a strange irony Germany and Italy, whose governments in the seventies did taoA to drag the Papacy in the dust, are now literally in the Pope's hands. The pressure which can be exerted for or against the present German government from the Vatican j is ttemendous' and well understood in Berlin. As for Italy, the Pop not only has the situation well In hand by his members in parlia ment, but actually has the power to call upon the Italian govern ment at any time to pay a stag- populous state once sold "new papers In a fish marktt.

SALEM SHOULD BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT "At the hpoinninflr of the Dresent year a local manufac turing corporation found that the rapidly increasing volume of its business necessitated an extension of its plant. Plans and specifications were made and, as in the past, were sub mitted to an eastern firm which made a specialty of manu facturing such machinery, with an inquiry as to when the or der could be filled. The reply was that the earliest possible date was February, 1921. ' "Not satisfied with this answer the manager of the lo cal plant began an inquiry into the foundry situation in Los Amreles. As a result the contract was divided between two local firms and the required machinery was in place and op erating by July, 1920, instead of February, 1921. Moreover, the entire project was handled by local capital and labor. "Eastern business men who are prone to regard the growth1 of Los Angeles as of mushroom character, based largely on climate, with a dash of movies on the side, would do well to consider the above facts and take the lesson well to heart. It is not without reason that Los Angeles has be come the tenth city of the United States." ' ' ,1 - , v ' aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-a . The above from the Los Angeles Times is printed in or der to call the attention of Salem people to the4 importance of this city becoming more self-sufficient. The self-sufficiency of Los Angeles is resulting in more new dwelling houses being built there than in the great city of New York; and still the new people are coming so fast that the city has made arrangements with the United States Army authorities for the loan of 5000 tents, set up in Ex position park in order to accommodate the families who can not find better dwelling places. And the record of new fac tories going up there and old ones being enlarged, is aston ishing the whole country. f Faith and courage, and welcome to new people and new enterprises, are the greatest assets of that city, built on what was once a desert stretch of sand dunes a number of miles in land, but now joined to San Pedro harbor, developed at enor- lious expense. ' v - caring for 9000 more. For them the war is not yet over, and In !crin um hlch haa been piiin$ most cases never will be. The average of wholesale prices 's now around the mark that makes ithem Rouble what they were before the war; or about where they were when the armis tice was signed. And, on the av erage they, will likely p tick around there for a long time some things going still lower and some things going higher than at present, j j This country is not going to get back to the 1914 prices till the average rate of wages gets back to the level of that year- -and that will be "when he water of the Nile run across he Arabian desert;" that is, when water runs up hill. It is run ning up hill there now, buf it is forced through pipes. Machinery may make mahy changes in prices In the future; but recessions from this date, on the average, will likely be slow. Salem ought to become more and more self-sufficient. We should have a public cold storage plant large enough fo guarantee the Salem district against any losses of fruit or vegetables, or other products. We should raise our own beets and make ouf own sugar for our fruit manufacturing and other plants.! We should have a glass factory, to make our own fruit jars and bottles. We should enlarge our plants for the making and repair ing of fruit handling machinery of all kinds, and agriculture machinery, too. ; : The building of a cold storage plant alone, thus aiding i our industries already established to stabilize the fruit busi i ness, will bring many needed enterprises here, and one needed industry will naturally bring others. There is no city in the world that has better natural ad vantages than Salem for becoming self-sufficient. It seems timely to suggest that America will solve the Irish problem for Great Britain if Great Britain will solve the Negro problem for America. It is easy to solve other coun try's problems. The 50 lynchings in the United States .thus far this year include one for jumping a labor contract, three - for assault on a white man one for connection with a moon shine still and at least six for attempting to vote. How much longer will Congress disregard, this national disgrace? Springfield Republican. The Denver & Rio Grande rail road has been sold for $5,000,000 to the Western Pacific. The Los Angeles people are saying the money must have been borrowed from some handy man around one of the moving picture outfits down there. But they are ex pecting extensions of that sys tem in California, which sounds like old times. There was a time when Oregon looked forward to connection with the system of which the Western Pacific and the Denver & Rio Grande and the Missouri Pacific are parts the Gould system. Oregon Is in a re eeptive mood for all such prop ositions now and they are all coming, sooner or later; and, the writer believes, some of them sooner. up and has been untouched since 1971, when the government voted an annual indemnity to the Vati can for the temporalities of which it stripped it. Dy simply demand ing the payments already, due. the Pope could force the Italian government to either invite re volution by repudiating Its own obligation or to throw itself Into bankruptcy by trying in this crisis to meet the payments. As far east as Beirut. Erance recognizes and Is dealing with the Papacy as a decisive factor in Asia Minor. Within the boun daries of France the anti-clerical government and the Papacy have round common ground in their slang against Bolshevism, . and Ine government has not been slow iw gu more man nan way in a reconciliation with its old oppon cnt. The Irish situation, as welt as the general British eagerness t- foster all stabilizing world In fluences, have brought the Brit ish government to a desire tnr a working understanding with rvuiue ua a. scaie nttneito un dreamed of. Putting entirely aside all ques tions of doctrine or of worship, the Papacy, regarded solely as a political factor, has had a sud den and unexpected birth of pow er. As has happened so many times before in, the history of Ea rope, this ancient and powerful organization, which seems for ever oemg crushed utterly and forever rising stronger than be fore, has started on a new path to influence, Senator Borah says that con-! Iress should pass a resolution de claring peace with Germany ani that the United Slates should then bgin trading with the world. Unt ccngress however '-confident t its own powers cannot mak either peace or trade by a roll call and a few word. Neither are the nations of the earth go-, ing to be chummy In their trail ing with a country that feelj above associating with them in a league to perpetuate peace and ; educe armaments. The nation may not quarrel with lcle Sam but he will have to go as heavily armed as If they were waiting lor him at the back door.

(Los Angeles Times.) The statement by keen observ ers that the Papacy Is to enter upon the most brilliant era since the height of its power In the 1 3th century, calls attention to a striking development of the post war period. In England A. J. Balfour, mouthpiece of the agnostics and speaking for a power which has for centuries battled against Rome has called on the Vatican to strengthen the League of Nations. In France, which for three cen turies has been outwardly the arch enemy of clericalism, the Papacy is being used as an ally in Aisace-Lorrains, Central Europe and the Near East. In Italy the Catholic People's party, which is really the church in politics, holds the balance of power in parlia ment and prevents the country from going frankly and complet ely over to radicalism. Through out Europe the Vatican is today regarded as a mainstay against Bolshevism. The Papacy, iu short, has some thing which no other internation al factor can supply at this time It has a tractable membership of some 200,000,000 people, a large part of them living in the regions about which there is the most concern at present. It emerged fiom the war strengthened in its organization and with its pres tige nndimmed. It was on both sides during the struggle and gow has the hatred of neither By discipline, teaching and ad ministrative plan it is unalter ably opposed to Bolshevism lo all its forms. Since Bolshevism Is more a col lapse than a revolution, it is felt by statesmen that the most ef fective weapons against it are no guns, but food and teaching and strengthening of morale in the stricken lands. Because of this feeling Rome is sought by the entente today and has actually started upon a course which will probably make her an outstand ing temporal power once more. Despite the growth of the Ro- Wfcen anyone talks to you about classes, tell him that we have but two classes in this country the American and the un-American, The American knows the strength of his country, and Its faults he is willing to correct by majority rule. The un-American ha hn taught to hate all government and would settle public problems by "direct action." a oolite term for plunder and murder. The trouble with such classes as the poor and the rich Is that a t a mey ao not stay classed. The office boy of today is the merch am prince ot tomorrow; a farm boy became president of th United States; the head of the largest bank in New York was a newspaper reporter a few years ago; the governor of the mri THE DEATH TOLL.
