Republican in politics, but in dependently so, and independent in many ways, has raised a Jiew issue with respect to the votes of women And he calls attention to this independent vote And he wants to keep it independent For the good of the country ; if not for the good of par tisan politicians who think in terms of selfishness when they think of patriotism; twice for themselves and once for their country. ' ' ' i Full participation of women in politics is a new factor which emphasizes the reasons given by Governor Allen as justifying his action in vetoing the bill in the Kansas Legis lature to enforce strict party registration in primaries. I Governor Allen argues in giving reasons for his veto that undoubtedly complete women's1 enfranchisement must for some time at least have the effect of increasing the pro portion of independent voters; that they are a valuable as set, to that state, or to any state, since they constitute a distinct body that cannot be controlled or herded. While such a body of voters exists parties must direct -their appeal to them and this necessity is a wholesome re straint in politics. All partfeswant to get the ear of the in dependent voter and ordinarily the party that wins him wins elections. There will be sharp criticism of Governor Allen's vieto by radical partisanship, but the courage of his action de serves the highest credit. . J" The men who are behind the $10,000,000 cannery mer . ger for Oregon and Washington are confident of the consum mation of the great project. Work ia now being done in the Salem district. The complete auccesa of this movement will insure a market for all the fruit grown here and there is lit tle doubt that in this case the operations of the big concern nfrll affect Salem in ways that will surprise many oJHhe peo ple of this city.: Hon. W. H. Paulhainus and his associates, who are now squarely and whole heartedly behind the big merger, are used to thinking of things and to doing things in a! big way; and they are' now thinking of this merger enter prise in terms of world markets for the fruits of Oregon and Washington. - S! : The. man who now thwarts the 'law by buying whisky knows that it has either been obtained under false pretenses or that it has been stolen. He is deliberatly encouraging the breaking of many more laws than the! Volstead law. The na tion cannot .survive the moral degeneration of its own citi zens, which is what open defiance of the laws made under it would mean eventually. T The Japanese losrsrers in the camps of British Columbia hive been striDPinsr and destroying the cascara trees, until tha authorities have become alarmed, and they are proposing td urotect this valuable tree. There are also projects being fqrmed over there for the cultivation of carcara forests or orchards. Western Oregon is coming to-tnis very ining. n is! a wonder it has not been undertaken before this.

Down In Kentucky a bootlegger has been arrested for making corn whiskey in the basement of a church. They are going to pun ish him for it, too. It seems funny to pinch a man just for keeping still in church. BITS FOR BREAKFAST Greater Gotham complains of the treatment it receives at the hands of "up-state" officials. The country solons have a grudge against the city and, although the metropolis has a greater popula- t'on than the rest of the state, it cannot control matters after the old-time manner of Tammany ma jorities. As a result there is a well defined movement for a di vorce. It is proposed to set off a separate state to be formed of New York and Westchester coun ties and Long Island. This would still have an area as great as Rhode Island and would be about the most densely populated state on the globe. Whether it should be called New York or New Jeru salem would be a matter for con troversy . Probably the rest of the state would call itself West New York, anyhow. Possibly Charlie Murphy would want to call the new state Tammany; but the tigers are not as omnipotent as they used to be. But it will be some time before the details of the separation are completed. HEAT AGAIN. Aprily April days. The hill farmers enjoys the showers. . The rans will get the flax field that are sown fairly started. V " There are intimations that there are some big things in the laps of the gods, in connection with the $10,000,000 cannery merger. Those Saniiam miners who have had the nerve to build their own new roads Into their proper ties surely deserve to have the Marion county road put in good order. S S The only fault the people of the country have with the steam rol ler of the Republicans in congress is that it is not used enough. They would like to see it worked overtime. If the city council takes to re voking the licenses of pool hall owners convicted of bootlegging. that will about end the matter in so far as those places are- con cerned. Be it said to their credit that there are several pool halls in Salem where there is no sus picion as to such practices. Their proprietors want none of it. S It is a hard time for a drive, after tax paying, etc.. etc. And the excuse is that the need is great and appealing. LONDON, April IS. Aristide Briand. French premier will come Saturday for a preliminary con ference wilh Premier Llovd George at Hythe, prior to a dis cussion of tbe allied plans on German rtparation. Italy and Belgiam have been invited to send delegates. The proceedings are exported to be copfined to what tbe allied ac tion shall be in the face of the failure of Germany to carry out by May 1 the reparation ttfina of the treaty. M. Briand will explain plans de cided on in Paris. It is thought Germany may present new proposals which the German cabinet is said to be for mulating. , The question ether a full meeting of the St., eme council shall be summoned before the new sanctions are enforced will be de cided. ( There is an Inclination, espe cially in liberal and labor circles in England to watch any new movement by France against Ger many, npt so much, it is said, be cause they do not desire to see Germany be made to pay full rep arations but because of what the further occupation of German territory is(l.kely to cost the al ready over-burdened British taxpayers. A statement from a French source was issued tonight that the occupation of the Ruhr region r ooi Id be accomplished solely by French troops. PORTLAND. Ore.. April 19.

WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A BANK ACCOUNTFINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE qnHE man who ia always "hard up," X always depending on others, is not the most desirable resident of any com munity. He who has a growing bank account, makes himself financially inde pendent. The United States National Bank has watched the growth of boys who open savings accounts with their earnings. Invariably, as men they are respected ciuzens. xuuk boy should have an ac count here. r oaaopa The war department has over 80,000,000 pounds of canned beef on hand and nobody seems to want the stuff. The American People are not very passionate for tinned meats when fresh ones are obtainable. If the army could dispose of Us surplus In Poland or other suffering (countries of Europe It would do more good than at home. Eventually why not now? The packers need no relief. TEAMWORK.

Gustafson of Lincoln. Neb., was elected chairman of the board of directors of the I'nited States Grain Growers' association at a meeting today. The directors are in session to perfect plans for the disposal of their grain crops through their own agents. According to Mr. Gustafson the plan has been in ef fect in far western states for some years and has proved suc cessful. . "By selling our own crops we will be able to eliminate tbe mid dleman and make more money for ourselves and sell our products cheaper." said Mr. Gustafson. "We hope to have every grain grower Join our ranks within two years." FIRST PRIZE ''Grandee," Harness and Buggy Tell Your Friends Start Today DAUBHERTY WILL HI ASKED American Association Adopt Resolutions at Convention CHICAGO, April 19. Immed iate recognition by the United States of Ireland as a free and sovereign state was asked in re solutions adopted tonight at the clesing session of the first annual convention of the American asso ciation for the recognition of the Irish republic. Declaring that the association was composed of more than 500,- ooo members who were repres ented by 4100 delegates, the re solution said: "The president Is also hereby respectfully urged to notify the president of the Irish republic to appoint duly accredited com missioners or ambassadors In ne gotiate with the president of tbe unuea aiaies sucn treaty or treaties as may be in existence between the government of tbe United States and the govern ments of the most favored na tions."

This resolution was adapted af ter Tarak N'ath Das. who as an American citizen is general or ganizer for the Friends of Free dom in India, had addressed the delegates and pledged them the "support of many millions of mv 'kindred in the cause of freedom from British rule.
