FROM BOOTLEGGING TO BOLSHEVISM The American principle that law must be enforced must be upheld at all hazards. It is only a short step from the disregard of one law to the contempt for and violation of all laws. It, is. not far from moonshine to murder. It is only a short way from bootlegging to Bolshevism. The I. W. W. is first cousin to the illicit still. The assassination of Yoder of Woodburn was the outgrowth of moonshining and boot legging, ring operations, believe the good people down at Woodburn.; - ' ' " It is proper to criticize any law; but it is dangerous to wink "at 'the 'violation 'of any law and it is not American. It is subversive of everything American. , t It must be plainly understood that the law abiding peo ple of Marion county are not going to be terrorized by any moonshining and bootlegging ring. The enforcement of all laws will proceed in this community, and this may as well be understood now by all concerned. Every red blooded American should glory in this kind of a program; and, in the -long run, such a course will be better even for the men who would now attempt to thwart the forces of law en forcement, or to seek to bring their patriotic efforts into rbntempt. f :,; :m, CHILD 'WELFARE in Ik i Frpm an economic as well as a moral point of view Child Wfl fare as a science is vitallv imnortant. Information and enlightenment, not theories, vmust be widely disseminated, I s parents.4 especiilly.- must be constrained to feel the stupen dous necessity of a' greater,' responsibility .toward the chil dren, a responsibility that precludes ignorance, indifference, or fanaticism. Child Welfare Is cast the early experimental stajre. and "t certain principles have been proved beyond all doubt or ques it'tion to be fundamental ti the well-being rjfchildren. Any jmeiiigenb parent wnais noi lamuiar wun inese principles, ut knowing them, disclaims them and substitutes his own the ories, fails in training his child toward his best development, and shirks his parental responsibility. . Two roads into the future stretch out before each help less, babe, the one of continuous unfoldment and successful accomplishment, the. other of weakness, failure, disappoint ment.; If parents could but have vision to gaze into the fu- I J ture, and, knowledge to carry on their work wisely so that the ) child might be prepared to meet in the highest way each ad j, venture in life, how. different would be the advancement; of ' I the world from what it now. is! Perfect vision would re Veal i j the importance of starting the child out with a well and sym ' r metrically developed body, a body that enjoys far greater Im munity: to weakness and disease than does an undeveloped one, and which, by reason of the power of resistance to outer influences, extends protection to heart and mind against temptation and mental infection. f : " . ' The child's, first right is to be born a healthy animal. To help him to build as strong and normal a body as possible is tne parent's first duty to his child, and to give the child at birth his rightful inheritance of pure blood and strong muscle, rare Indeed, requires preparation on the part of his ancestors. i It will not do to wait until the child is laid in the outstretched I parental arms before his parents wake up to their obligation tto bring to the little lif eits rightful due. "jlowbeit that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural and afterward that which is spiritual." So the parent who has learned wisdom by his effort to develop himself to be fit for parenthood does not worry over the re ligious instruction of his child, but surrounds the babe with good influence in a harmonious home, a sweet atmosphere of dean language, noble thoughts and sincerity, and upon the child the great sun of love sheds its warmth and life, mak ing the seeds that are planted in the heart from the begin ning, love and goodness and honesty and purity, to sprout and grow into sturdy plants. To furnish the "daily bread," the true nourishment that the child requires for the growth of body, mind,, and soul, is but one step in advance of giving him the right food for the healthful upbuilding of his natural body. Stress is laid upon the importance of the highest development of the young body becau.se upon its health and vigorous growth and its fitness for the use to which it is put now and later on in life depend the perfect results of his lifelong activity, mental and spirit ual as well as physical. Many brilliant minds and devoted souls have been hindered and repressed by a weak and dis eased body. The ranks of the "might-have-beens" of human ity are greatly augmented by ignorance and carelessness in feeding children. A most hopeful and encouraging sign of the times is the widespread interest shown in the welfare of children, and the fact that it is gradually being borne in upon our people, that they have an obligation to bring to each child the needful helps to make of him the most and the best possible, and in the happiest way. The school, the church, social organiza tions, writers and lecturers, are bringing to the world the truth that to protect the life of the children and to rear them for the highest usefulness is the most important factor in establishing the stability and progress of the nation. Com munities are making a practical demonstration of their inter ft in this bv establishing free clinics for the medical treat ment of poor children, in furnishing stations for weighing ba bies and giving out literature for the education of the moth ers, in segregating the tubercular or delicate children from tho nthprs and nrovidincr out of door school rooms for them, in preparing hot lunches for under-nourished children, in fur nishing and supervising recreational grounds, and in many other wavs that cannot be enumerated here. All this is be ing efficiently done in some cities. Such work is needed ev erywhere. . ' .. , - - a The Parent-Teacher Association is doing a great work for both parents and children. There is bright hope for the future when a great body like this holds before its members the high ideals of harmony and co-operation, patriotic loyal ty, reverence for all that is good and beautiful and uplifting in life, and at the same time practically helps all to realize these ideals in their home life and in society, in the hearts of themselves and of their children. T ,;mifiont fan Viq in C.aMfnrnia nlnno thpro fa I AC 3 Olg Jill IVMtlb AW-W v. v w Psuch an organization with a membership of over 40,000, the one bond being the weiiare ot tne cniia. many as ior neip and instruction in rearing their family. They are members tuwatiep thov wish tn hrintr better conditions into their homes and to fulfill their obligation to their family in the highest way ; and many homes are today enjoying greater nappiness and harmony because of the Parent-Teacher Association- . The Federal Government has established a Children's Bureau, but the work of the Bureau must be backed up by the public, and a greater demand for its helpfulness come from the home before the government will recognize a need for its extension and furnish it funds with which to carry on a large work. When the farmers rose en masse and cried to th nation for helrj. laws were passed and millions of dollars spent to protect the livestock. The wealth and prosperity of the land were increased thereby and it was right that it should be done. Child culture is surely a higher need than hog culture, so let us hope that the cry of the parents for help will be loud and long and tnat it win oe nearo. No countrv need fear the canker worm at the heart nor the red menace from without if the parents succeed by a unit- ed effort in upholding all that is good ana m living up io high and holy ideals, and in environing their children with the atmosphere and inspiration of good lives. ' ' a man pants for it, it may coat nls stomach. Anyhow, be invests.

Salem Is the leading: fiber flax renter of the United States; and it Is going to remain so The Salem slogan editor is get ting help on the' subject of grapes for next Thursday, Bnt he wants more help, ' Won't the allies bave a heart? Why not tell Germany she can keep the change after paying tbat $56,000,000,000? Since the talk of disarmament has become general there is a de sire that the skillet be banished In settling household disputes. The railroad situation has come about to this: There must be lower wages, lower ' freight rates, more business and less un employment. It is an Inevitable chain of events. Raffles stories was dedicated, as "this sincerest form of flattery' to the creator of Sherlock Holmesi Mr. Hornnng wrote many other stories, some of them based '6n experiences In Australia, and pror duced a number of poems of merit. Another thing, the old fash ioned Methodist hymns will be sung when the jazs tane is forgotten. Several days of sunshine would allow the rest of the flax fields to be seeded, and a great dail of ether planting to be done. After that, all the rain will be needed that la likely to be seen, till har vest time. IS I "fa. - i - V . : 1 1 ' . - r ; : WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT. BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE MANY men are too close to (heir own affairs to get the right perspect ive on them. But their banker, with his wider financial knowledge, is in a position to advise impartially.1 The customers of the United States Na tional Bank come , f rom all trades and professions.' Asone of our depositors, ii wiu gain much from our knowledge business and market conditions thus ' acquired. i i Flax in Belgium is worth less than one-twelfth what it was a year ago. The slump has been a great deal greater over there than over here; and everywhere in the world flax fiber la being sold below the cost of production. In such a condition,,, the market U bound to improve. , That wine is used for sacra mental purposes during four of the eight days of the Feast of the Passover, which commenced this year on April 23 (yesterday), re calls the fact tbat there is no re quirement for fermented wine in the Jewish faith.. To represent tbat the use of intoxicating liquor is required is a slander on the Jewish church. Many orthodox Jewish people don't touch fer mented wine for sanctification purposes. There were three straphangers on board one of the airships on the second day of the revived London-to-Parfs service the other day. The passenger airplane has arrived indeed. The death in Paris of Ernest Wnilam Hornung. the English author, will be mourned by hosts of readers of hla diverting and in genious tales of the exploits of Raffles, the "gentleman" burglar.

It seems to be but a short time since McKlnley was elected pres ident, but in 189C there were only four automobiles in the United States. There are now 9,211,295 motor cars, including commercial vehicles in the United States. All this from tbat lonesome car which stood, the wonder of all behold ers, at the curb, not longer ago, it seems, than yesterday. Something that should tell oa the legislation of the present con gress Is the good feeling that seems to exist between, the lead ers of the house and the senate. They confer together. They "are often in company together. In this way there is opportunity, and they probably improve It, to sound one another on the ques tions soon to come under their notice for action. The majority Is functioning. BEER AS MEDICINE. Looks as if the next rock on which the nation can split is whether beer Is a medicine or not. A lot of people who once took the stuff for refreshment now In sist that it is a medicine. There are others who deny any personal need for taking medicine who still demand their beer. Temper ance people aver that beer tastes like medicine to them, but they refuse to take It as medicine even If the doctor prescribes it. Men who make medicines say that beer Is not a remedy. It Is a d's- ease. Brewers say that beer is not only a meeMclne. but that it is refreshment and , food. It Is everything but a suit of clothes. and 1t might even be raiment If The Woodrow Wilson club of Harvard plans a memorial to President Wilson of unique his torical usefulness. It involves the collection and presentation to the co!leg library of material relat ing to the Wilson administration, with special reference to docu ments and data concerning the war, the peace conference and treaty of Versailles. New York World. One would have expected Princeton university, Mr. Wllon's alma mater, to take the lead In tbat sort of thing. Official Prince ton's tepid Interest in Its most celebrated graduate has been noted before now. Springfield Republican. , SHAVE AXD TRIMMINGS. A man has some rights which even a barber must respect. A fellow who went into a New York barber shop and asked merely tor a shave was given a full' pro gram by the barber and charged $t.15 therefor. The customer was led to believe that a face bleach and an anointed dome were a part of a first-class shave, put he balked at paying the price demanded by the tonsorialist at 'he conclusion of the rites and ceremonies. Afterward he made complaint to the authorities and as a result the barber was locked up in jail for five days for ex tortion. It seems that a barber say not excessively profiteer in the appendages to a shave. Nei ther may he enforce his program of adornment on a customer I'gainst his will and wish. It Is fell to know some of these things, if the barber trims you too much the barber may himself sbe trimmed. THE TRUE SUNDAY. (Los Angeles Times.) The difference between a blue Sunday and a true Sunday was effectively expounded from a local pulpit.- last Sabbath morn ing. The preacher regretted that the controversy cbuld not be at once trensferred from the cockpit of passion to the court of reason. But people chafe at the thoughf of coercion. That Is the greatest irritant in bringing about a prop er observance of the Sabbath. No body wants to be forced to it 1 he pastor paid that without waiving the right of majority to enforce its opinion by law it Is probable that education and persuasion will carry a. righteous course ' farther and faster. The plea for liberty to play, or rest on Sunday while others worship, study or serve militates against uo sensible theology or Christian aspiration. As Dr. Nah sums It: "The ultra-liberals must allow that the betterment agenciesde serve some sympathy and appre ciation; even conservatives mutt confess that the Sabbath was made for man, is not an end In Itself and should adopt its cus toms to the whole of human need end not merely to one." We should be chary ot undertaking coercive measures to enforce our own beliefs against the will and wish of others. A BRAVE MAN. Gabrlelo d'Annunzio, the fly ing bard, has Just married a sec end wife an Italian musician. The poet . was always eccentric, but there was never much dispute about his bravery. SPRING SPORT. A Burlington train was lost for a day and a half in a Enowdrift in northern Illinois last week. How can poets sing or roblns and but tercups while grown men are digging cars out of a blizzard? BITS FOR BREAKFAST Salem had a big Saturday. S Fair and warmer is the thing farmers with crops to plant are looking for. S The broccoli seed is ready to distribute now. It may be plant ed at any time np to May 15 or later. 1 There' Is a rcramble for broc? poll seed. It was fortunate for Salem district growers tbat they mt hmv oarlr. i m m A man who is authority on the flax Industry says to the Bits fur Breakfast 4maii'. "Flax will U very high in price this winter. Flax today is the soundest ma terial to speculate with in the whole gamut of merchandise." If this prediction comes true, the farmers who are growing for tb penitentiary flax plant will not have very long to- wait for their money after the delivery of their crops next summer. 1 This Is the week when the, em ergency tariff and antl-dumplng bill is supposed to get through the senate and become a law Then the main tariff bill should quickly follow, and all will be4 gin to be well with the industries of this country; and the 3,000,1 000 men who were Idle a few weeks sgo will all be put to work. The biggest tning in the Salem district right now is the market! it:g of all the fruit crops and there is every present prospect of bumper crops. HEADING FOR ENGLAND f In Texas they still tell the story of the Englishman .who imported a famous wolf-hound from Euro, pe In order to gain wealth by catching wolves for which the state paid a bounty of $10 a head When the dog came he Invited some dyed in the wool Tex ana to see the first chase. Before long a wolf was sighted, the dog was freed from his leash and the chase was on, but though the party wan dered mile after mile, they found no trace of either the dog or the wolf. Finally'they reached a clearing where a native was chopping wood, and the Britisher cried: "I say, old chap, did you see a wolf and a hound pass by here?" , "Sure did. They Just passed." "And how was the race?: - .' "Pretty hot, stranger; but the dog was a little- bit ahead." 7 If more gunmen were taken to the morgue Instead of the station house it might help.
