Entered at the Postoffice in Salem, INAUGURAL ADDRESS President Harding And he is a party And an American And alconservatn ve without His inauorural address reflects the man and gives assur ance of the actions of the exfflted official. The following high lights selected by a news writer fur nish a good outline ofj the addressprinted in full elsewhere in The Statesman of Jtjiis morningi We ask no part in directing the destinies of the old world. 1 I, I T , . . We crave friendship and harbor no hate. But America, our America, can be a party to no permanent military alliance. !'' I We want to do our part in making offensive warfare so hateful that governments and peoples who resort to it must prove the righteousness of their cause or stand as outlaws before the bar of civilization. . America stands ready to join with all nations, great and small, to recommend a way to approximate disarmament and establish a world court for the disposition of justiciable ques- tions; . ' l . ' ' . , Trade ties bind nations in closest intimacy and we mean to promote) enlarged activities and seek expanded confidence. : We shall give no people just cause, to make war upon us. We hojld no.national prejudice, entertain no spirit of re venge, do pot. hate, do not covet, dream of no conquest nor boast of armed prowess. - If war) is again forced upon us, I earnestly hope a way may be found which will unify our individual and collective defense. j T i- -'' . .

" ' WASHINGTON, March 4-Senator McNary, of Oregon, has voiced a plea for the preservation of the great forests of the country by-fire protection.-He says: ; "We have used up three-fourths of our original forests, and the supply of timber remaining is becoming less and less adequate for the requirements of the country, both in quan tity and iri location. Sixty-one per cent of what is left lies west of the. Great Plains, whereas the bulk of lumber and paper consumption is east of the Great Plains. Over 50 per cent of j the standing timber today is found in the three Pacific Coast States and 61 per cent is found in that great western cquntryj lying west of the Mississippi River. Our eastern forested States one after another have been cut out, and ceased, to be 'important producers of timber because their virgin forests have been but very partially and inadequately replaced by second growth after logging. With the exhaus tion of thse old sources of lumber paper, and other forest products and with the increasing distance which lumber must be hauled from the sawmill to the consumer, much of it now across the) width iof the continent, there is a growing scar city of forest, products, which in no great length of time will become critical. j .Markets may fluctuate one way or another BANKING A BUSINESS TQ one would think of conducting a Al business without the good system of banking as right hand assistant. Even few individuals try to manage without a bank account. ' . ! : : : This is largely evidenced by the growth of bank deposits from 20 to 41 billion dollars in the past six years.

"The greatest cause of this situation is forest fires. We have enough land unfit for agriculture to grow all the tim ber which this country requires.' ' The above dispatch shows an attitude and an advocacy that are commendable and timely And it reflects conclusions from statistical information that are heartening to the Pacific coast side of the United States, where the great manufacturing plants of the future must be located Both on account of the timber supply here, and on ac count of the water powers that are here, to furnish the two prime requisites of profitable operation. Senator McNary might have added that nearly all of the great forests of both North and South America are on the Pacific coast side reaching from Bering sea to the Southern ocean. Xo wonder Germany kicks on the reparation bill. It is mighty hard to pay for a dead horse and, parenthetically, a lost war. Darid Lloyd George says that Germany must pay to the extent of her ability. But that is just the sticking point. "Mars" Henry Wattcrson pre dicts that Johnson and Borah will soon be going after Harding. But Henry is such a poor guesser. It will be recalled that he picked Cox to win last fall. Goats, slogan subject next week. We need many more and better goats. Tell the slogan editor what you know of the benefits of goat breeding. It is your duty. "We ought to find a way to guard against the perils and pen alties of unemployment," s said President Harding in his inaugu ral address. We MUST find a way. Ths new tariff law and full scope for Herbert Hoorer will help. The Statesman of Sunday will contain some most raluable mat ter concerning the poultry Indus- ry. If we will all talk poultry and pull for the Industry, the Sa lem district is going toJure many great commercial plants is gotng to be the Petaluma of Oregon, and then some. ' In amending the Immigration laws has been demonstrated that there never was tL greater farce than the so-called illiteracy test. Most of the imrrhltU)u have either been departed Or are awaiting auch action can read and write, and many of them in sev eral languages. They would nass any test along that lin. but they are bad people to have in this country. The Santiam mining district Is getting a lot of attention. The Salem slogan edition of The Statesman of Thursday last on Mining has attracted much favor able comment, and the edition is already about exhausted. It Is plain to be seen now that Salem is to be a real mining center. Some doubting Thomas residents were inclined to sneer at the idea when The Statesman took the matter up a year ago; but there Is a different tune now. The light is breaking, and before long those mountains of rich ores at the eastern front door of Salem will begin to pour out their annually increasing gold-n stream of wealth into the lap of the Salem district. HUGH KM AXI TlfE TREATY. (Springfield Republican.) The particular problem In re gard to winding up the war which Mr. Harding is said to have ask el Air. Hughes to solve is whether the desired end can be best at tained by negotiating a new treaty or by ratifying the treaty ot Ver sailles with a new set of reser vations. Ratification of It ss it stands has ceased to be an Issue, if only because the allies at Paris lst month agreed, upon changes In which the United States had no voice and which are to be tak en up with Germany on March 1. For attacking this problem Mr. Hughes will be admitted by all FUTURE DATES K-1"nh,ft- 11 mn4 1- IiwhlMtie basketball taarmmrnt.

Most people who pluckily stick. to it till they have read it through find when they put it down that they might about as well have been reading Einstein on relativity. This for midable document can hardly have been intended to be read. It is to be regarded rather as a rag-bag Into which everything that might one day be useful was hastily stuffed. Doubt has ven been expressed as to whether the "big four" who took responsi bility for it were fully acquainted with its contents. Each made sure that certain things were put in, but keeping things out was a more difficult matter. What an opportunity so stu pendous a document , offers for "jokers." Intended and unin tended, is illustrated by the recent controversy in England over arti cle 297 by which British subjects may demand the restoration of property in Germany which was liquidated during the war. The "joker' appears In paragraph (g) which provides that this ap plies only to nationals of allied and associated countries In which measures prescribing the general liquidation of alien property were not applied before the armistice. Where this paragraph came from nobody seems to know, but it Is spoken of as having- "crept In without the British representa tives comprehe'ndlng Its meaning. Consequently an effort is being made to show that the liquida tion of German property in Eng land was not complete so that paragraph (g) does not apply. That so Important an issue should for the first time be raised a year and a half after the signing of the treaty shows the immensity ef the task of master ing o Intricate and confused a document. It has Its good points, as its severest critics recognize, but it Is difficult to see the woods for the trees. In every respect Mr. Hughes is well qualified to undertake a fresh stndy of the treaty of Versailles with the defi nite aim of deciding whether It can be utilized as the basis for the necessary peace settlement. Whatever his decision, the coun try will feel sure that It repre sents honest thought and hard study. CARROTS OR AIRPLANES? The aerial mail service Item was stricken from the agricultu ral appropriation bill In the house and a place was found for the regular $250,000 free-seed item in the measure. Congress still seems more In terested In small matters than in large, in crawling than in fly ing. It is willing to chop off urgent but uncharapioned Items, but careful to protect the old and petty sops to the public so dear to the professional politician. The aerial mall service Ii im portant for what it is actually ac-J ..ii3uiiiSl uui, aoove ail. for what It will accomplish in the way of encouraging proHcienry and development in flying. A new transportation age Is at hand and it will doubtless center around the use of the air. What excuse, then, can . there be for choking off the only organized long-distance air service in Am erica while thousands of dollars are wasted on seeds that no one appreciates and that never ger minate? Kor the.Iast half a century this petty work has been indulged in ty small men in congress, who invarably slip in this appropri ation at the last minute and as a rider with the result that the big men have to w valuable time and risk really Important items f they are to make a fight against It. They feel that it Is belter to waste a quarter of a million dollars than to encourage wavering representatives to op pose ome large project or to entangle the business of the house by lengthy debates on the relative value of iki carrot and the cabbage In the American gar den. - It would be a good idea for the E0LA OF THE Bq Lowell M. Shoemaker My mind goes back to a little town Near the mouth of the Rlckreall. Where the wild red rose In profusion grows Over fence and rock and wall; Where the scrub oak trees on the summer breeze Fly banners of dark green. And half-blown flowers that await the showers On the hill-sides may be seen. I see again the old school ground Where once we played town-ball. And I hear the noise made by girls and boys As they shout and laugh and call; They are blithe and gay aa I watch them play Beneath the summer sun. With no trace of sadnes to mar the gladnessj For their lives have but begun. I open my eyes and the vision fades The laughter is gone today; For the years that have fled with a ghostly tread Have taken the joy away; And I feel in my heart the thrust or a dart As I think or the old time home. Tho I'm glad to have lived and bad a part In the golden age that baa flown. My dear little friends of those wonderful times. One word ere I drop the pen; I would we could play for one short day And be as we were then. In fancy again I hold the hand Of each little girl and boy And I wish that Apollo might come from the skies And till your lives with Joy. people to begin sending these franked packages back to their congressmen, reminding theut that they are expected to be too busy about matters of Importance to be peddling seeds. The fault really rests with the public, for it gives its representatives only very rarely encouragement to go ahead and fight for big issues, but Is ever ready to lower the dignity and the valus of congress by using It as a ration counter. The Pacific coast and the en tire nation should have an inter est in this matter. The aerial mail service, with its 30 planes constantly ou the go and with its demonstration of the possiblliies of further advances in air service from the commercial standpoint, is the pace-setter for a new epoch. JMiall we silently allow poli ticians to clip the wings of the future In order that they may have a little more money to waetc on seeds? A CENTENARIANS WISDOM. The oldest alumnus of Williams college, Edward Lord of Clifton Springs, N. Y.. celebrates his 100th birthday this month. Mr. Lord is a retired clergyman, a civil war veteran and the father of Chester S. Lord, the well known former managing editor o! the New York Sun. 'The pres ence of the Lord family In New York state was due to the migra tions which carried the old New England stock Into western New York and the section now occu pied by Ohio, Indiana and Mich igan in the early years of the 19th century. In a recent letter to Chester S. Lord the 100-j ears-old philos opher tells bis son that be long ago decided not to use the word "fret." . "There Is nothing Inviting in that word, nothing that can be admired or pleasing." he rays. "The prickle shrubbery producer, flowers, but no beauty can spring from fretting. Nothing but ugli ness nor can there be any elo quence in Its use." This advice, earning from a cen tenarian and backed by his own example, should have weight with those who- at 60 or even 80 are young by comparison. Whether or not Mr. Lord's fondness for fishing has co-operated' with a practical religion in producing this tranquility of mind Is a point r for anglers to deter mine. At all events. Mr. Lord went fishing with his son. Chester S. Lord, as recently' as last April. His outdoor activities have doubt less helped to preserve his health. FIVE MINUTES IX CONGRESS. Mr. Walsh: Will the gentle man yield? Mr. Itlanton: I will yield. Mr. Walsh: Will the gentle man kindly Inform the committed what he has done with his sense of humor? , . Mr. Wanton: My sense of hu mor since 1 got here has been absolutely swallowed up by the Inexhaustible supply of humor held by the distinguished gentle man from Massachusetts. (Laugh ter.) He has really, with the aid of the distinguished gentle man from Illinois (Mr. Mann) made the Republican party on the other side of Uje aisle. I have no more nenre of humor. Mr. Clark of Florida:' Mr7 Chairman. I rlmply want to say onn word. Mr. Chairman. I know whatever may be my faults and tl.ey are many 1 have never demagogued on this floor. When the salaries of members were raised from $ioo to $75io I vot ed for It, and I made a speech for it, and I think what congress Is suffering from today Is Its cow ardice. If I may use that word. (Applause.) The salary of a mem ber of congress ought to be f 1Q, oo or fli.noo a year, i Ap plause.) I think I am a $10,000 man.... (Applause. And I ni willing to rote foe that! amount EARLY NINETIES and I believe my people will sup port me In It. Congressional Re cord. (No doubt they would. The people ot the south, who pay only a small proportion of the federal taxes, are willing to sacrifice the test of the country through the United States treasury. TLey showed this during th" last eight years and especially during the years of the war. Ed.) BITS FOR BREAKFAST Now for normalcy. U Service Is the keynote of the Inaugural address of President Harding. m Serv.ce Is tht thing needful above all things in bringing about normalcy. In this country and In the rest of the world S Work; the abolition of pover ty and want by the abolition of unemployment, and the proper functioning of all Industry so that there may not be anv want any where in the wide world. ' W The psychology of service will start all the wheels or industry. S . If there can be a little of the practice of give and take by all concerned, and thj getting down to brass tacks and back to first principles, thre la a building boom Just ahead of Salem that will last through a number of years. Some of the big mining men of the United States are looking over th Santiam district right now. and more or them will look over it and have reports of experts upon that district. S The Santiam Is going to come into its own soon with a per manency that will mean the pour ing out of wealth far beyond the dreams of the pioneers who staked out claims there In the ! years of the past.
