'ONE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
I "AH a man has to do to make a real success
m life is to spend twenty-five or thirty years learn
to do some simple thing better than anybody else
can do it and then twenty-five or thirty more doing
it every day, so as to give people a chance to find
out about it." Ohio State Journal.
That recipe for success is being followed here in the Sa
lem district on a community scale.
And it is a recipe that is sure of getting results.
There is no chance of failure. ,
For instance, our people are raising more and more lo
ganberries, because this is the loganberry land; more prunes,
because this is the Mistland prune land, and the Pheasant
brand brune land. Droducinsr prunes of quality: and more
cows, because this is the cow country -
And more flax, because this is the only fiber flax dis
trict in the United States

As long as the bourse remains
calm there is no occasion for ex
citement about the government
It Is with a French ministry
as it is with leve," wrote Heinricb
Heine in his Paris correspondence
in 1842. No man can say with
any certainty what its strength
or how long it will endure. One
day we deem that it Is rooted
deep; and on the next, there it
lies, overthrown by some light
Wanner breeze."
One hundred years of repre
sentative government have not
served to give stability to the
French parliament. ' Ministries
rise and fall for reascs that are
unfathomable outside of France,
that are but Imperfectly under
stood even by Frenchmen them
selves. The chamber of deputies
is as much of a coquette as a fa
vorite t;t the haut monde. It Is
as Tickte with Its minlstcries a
a grisetts with her lovers.

And more walnuts, because we can produce the best

And more strawberries, because our strawberries excel;

And so on down the list of the "things that we can do
better than anybody else can do them."
" And the beauty of it all is that, even in doing the things
that we can do better than anybody else can do them, there
is a wide diversity
A wider diversity than in any other city of Salem's size

The Salem district wille well represented before the
Ways and Means Committee of the llouse wlien it considers
the flax and hemp schedules next Friday and the two week
days following. And our people representing this district
will be armed with the facts and fieures and samnlp in
sh.ow that we can produce here as fine fiber flax and hemp
as can be grown in the world, and that we can produce these
thjngs in quantities enough to keep all the $30,000,000 and
more at home that has been going annually to foreign coun
tries for tow and twine and linen and the hundreds of other
articles oui 01 wnicn l lax and hemp fibers are made or in
which these fibers form, the most valuable parts. It is en
tirely fair that our district should be so represented, and the
shpwing will be sufficient to secure protective tariff duties
on our flax and hemp, which will make sure of the rapid de
velopment of these industries here. ,

One of tlhe reasons the Demo
crats eclebjrat' the memory of
Thomas -Jefferson Is the fact that
ho ' Is the only red-headed man
ocr elected to the. presidency. J i
It promises to be a hard win
ter with the profiteers In Wash-
infton. The Jeffersonfan sim
plicity of the Harding inaugural
has made the road a bit rough
for the windy month of March.
iThe custom tailors lrr session In
Ios Angiles lact week decreed
that Waistcoats shifll 1 short the
or the state of the country.
A change in the ministry has
just taken place. Georges Ley-
gncs and hts government have
been overthrown by one of the
heaviest negative votes ever giv
en to a ministry. President Mil
lerand adniiis that ho Is dceyly
pertrubvd over the formation or
a new government; but th; old
louis d'or has not deigned to
even take notice of the occur
rence. Far from going into hid
ing, he is more in evidence than
ever. With ths fall of the Iy
gucs ministry the exchange value
of the French franc rose.
Kadicalistn has been faring
badly in Franco tince the armis
tice. At every election the (radi
cal Socialist group in both cham
bers of parliament grows smaller
and the Conservative majority on
the extreme right is strengthened.
Leon Dourgeois. once., the bet
noire of thej French Socialists,
ras just been elected president
of the senate. The fall of Ley
gues was a victory for the mod
erates; for he owed his place to
Socialist support.
There is now a general demand
that Raymond Poincare, former
president of the republic, shall be
the new prime minister, a uosi-
fon which, under the French gov
ernment. Is much more import
ant than the presidency. Poin
care represents what the radical
and Dolsheviki term the military
party in France. He and his fol
lowers insist that the terms of the
Versailles treaty shall be carried
out to the letter. They are op
posed to the hesitating and con
ciliatory policy of the Pritish gov
ernment. They demand that
Germany shall proceed with the
disarmament te which the cledz-
ed herself when he t-igned ithe
f eace treaty, that the tlull either
raise the money to make the first
reparation payments or permit
her finances to be directed by th..
reparations commission.
President Millerand favors a
i tore moderate polky. He deire
to maintain the co-operation anl
good will of France's two power
lul allies. Great Pritain and Italy.
He has Intimated that ho will call
upon Poincare to form a miuL-try
only as a last resort. . Dut tho
chamber of deputies possesses the
power to force his hand. It can
compel the naming ct Poincare
by refusing to give a vote of con
fidence to a government formed
by anyone else.
Viewed from the distance, the
overthrow of the Leygucs gov
ernment augurs well for the Im
mediate future of France. It
kIiows that rJtli'alism is receding,
that constructive forces are in
control and that the people favor
a strong and conservative" natio
ral administration.
Franc is not dispirited; she' is
iot faint-hearted. She is facing
the future with a resolute counte
nance. She fears neither kaiser
ism nor nojshevism and she re
mand.) that the terms of the iae'j
tieaty Uall 1;e enforced. The
attitude of France, standing firm
as the rock of Gibraltcr, will b"
a powerful aid to stabilizing the
rest of Europe. Her confidence
will awaken hope iu the hearts
of the brave; It will fortify the
courage of the resolute.
As for her frequent changes
af ministry, that is a character

ence with Napoleon and with
Louis Philippe has led her to be
wary of giving too much author
