The bill allows five counts instead of the present two adultery and cruelty on "which divorce can be obtained. : "If you do not wreck this bill it will wreck you," he told the women, "for easy divorce undermines the foundations of the race and degrades women." 'r American divorce laws are generously quoted by both Sides iii the fierce campaign now pending. The antis hold up the United States as a horrible example, a country of vic timized half-orphans, of loose habits and impossible homes, while the proponents, on the other hand, see us as a country in which women are free, in which marital debasements do not have to be tolerated, where children are freed from the ; bad influence of erring parents and homes are purified and purged by the courts. - - , v The proposed British measure does not, however, go any where nearly as far as pur strictest states, and in this coun try we should consider it highly conservative and reforma tive. Our own judiciary are recommending something similar for this country as a federal amendment, so while Britain works downward, we are working xipward. It seems obvious that, while our own laws are too easy arid conf usedthe British are unfair as they stand at present - Moreover, the British laws discriminate severely against the woman, while the American laws are more apt to discriminate S in favor of the ladyand either is equally, unfair. It is highly probable, that Father Vaugnan's exhortation, to the women vpters'in England Will fall upon deaf ears rfor English wo men have envied American women their privileges and advan- Uges for, lo, these many years-and they would be slow to agree that any special "degradation" has ensued. V ' lITktla etma CJolotTI Twn1 training ,be continued at the junior high schools, The States man would suggest that a general survey be made as to how much good is being done in the manual training at the se nior high1 school; how much in the work under the Smith Hughes act. And while making such survey, it would be a good idea to continue the investigation as to several branches of the accommodations and facilities of the Salem public schools, as compared with those afforded in the schools of other cities smaller than Salem, like Silverton and Woodburn, and others. The people of Salem ought to be fully 'informed upon the manner in which they are providing for the educa tion and training of their children. , Ain't 1t wonderf nl how nicely we are setting on without Secre tary of War Baker? - 1 : ' y ji I '.David Lloyd George's. sun Is jiet, say his critics, but the beauty ot It Is that.it omes np again.

The Salm slogan editor will undertake to prove, next w-ek. that our farmer? ought to special ize on sorghum, tomatoen. gar lic, horseradish, mushrooms, rhu barb, kale and perhaps one or two other thin, like artichokes and buckwheat.

Then the hook will he for sale to any one who will buy it, and it will be given away to anyone who will agree to take The Statesman, say for a year or two years, or the rest of his life. The putting of the broccoli in dustry on its feet in a few weeks in the Salem district has been a wonderful work; a wonderful showing of the responsiveness of the people who live on the farms here. There will be at least 500 acres ef broccoli in the Salem district this year twice as much as in the Roseburg district; and it will bring in $150,000 to $200,- 000 next February and March. In case ail goes well with the crop and with the- handling of it. There is a little Valentine broc coli seed left, in the hands of the secretary of the Salem Hroccoli association, the Oregon Growers' Co-operative association and D. A. White & Son, seedsmen. Every ounce should be and no doubt will be taken. The larger acre age the better for the industry, up to the point of saturation and all our growers can raise this year will make only a fair start towards supplying the demand in the large eastern cities. FRUIT OF THE VINE. Considering that It was pre sumed to have been killed by the 18th amendment, the California gaape crop makes a husky corpse. According to testimony justtak en before the Interstate commerce commission, the grape Industry is about the only one in California that catt stand up under the shock and strain of the railway freight rates to eastern markets The lemon crop is beyond aid. The orange industry is almost crushed. Other fruits and vege tables are tottering; but the Cal ifornia grapes have gone forth unstinted to refresh a parched and weary nation. Ten thousand cars of grapes were shipped out from one district last season and there were profits for. the grower as well as the middleman. The year will be rather remembered with pleasure by those who clung to their vineyards. Los Angeles Times. JAP AXD YAP.

The English Lord Moulton. once an ardent free trader, publicly confessed his conversion to the protectee principle in a speech before the Association of British Chemical Manufacturers. "I used to think that the prime duty of a nation was to buy In the cheapest markets, but now I see that nothing is so important as the development of a nation's most precious asset. Us people," he admitted, pointing to Ameri ca's commercial supremacy as evi dence of the wisdom of the pro tective principle.

But it took the war and its awful lesson to explode the old free trade theory in Oreat Rrttaln. under which industry af ter industry has heen wrecked. Lord Moulton in not the only free trader who has soen the light. Huying chap is a poor con consolation when the jobless have not the wherewithal to buy. And w li-n freights are high and the exchange acainst them, the peo ple can no longer even buy cheap, nor with their own weakened in dustries, under free trade, supply their own needs. Hence the doc trine of protection is now seen very clparly as the doctrine or self-preservation. THE GREATEST A.WKKU'AX .i.KTIMMJ MERCHANT: THE GREATEST OF AMEfll. CAX SHOI'KEEl'ERM; IMIILA HELTHIA'S FIRST t ITIZE.V (Springfield Republican ) The honors bestowd upon John Wanamaker by his fellow citizens in 1911 on the oc .-anion of his gol den jubilee as a merchant are re called by similar recognition 10 years afterward of Philadelphia's "first citizen." Celebrating- John Wanamaker has beconi-i tome thing of an American institution. At Tuesday's "ani'i't in Philadel phia Mr. Wanumaxer sat between Mayor Moore and Cardinal Pough erty. Many other high dignitar ies of state and church were tnere, the Jue'ices of the supreme court attended in a body. Congratu latory letters were read ;roni the president and vice president of the United States, members of the cabinet, senators, congressman and many others. "One of my most distinquished pred'eeesnors tn the government service, ' Postmas ter General Hayes correctly called him. At this notable gathering ref erence was made to aa interesting parallel in the career of the dis tinguished guest and tha; of ben jamin Franklin, most famous ot Philadelphians. Both were self made men. beginning as wag earners in early youth; both were leaders in the development of en terprises for the public well-being; both were postmasters-general; both contributed pioneer ser vice each In hjs own way, to the development of the American newspaper and both were gifted in expressing in epigram the phil osophy of success. It was not Poor Richard but John Wanamak er who said: "Every undertaking '.s made up of the 'sum of past en deavors, plus ambition and th? new visions." "Keep up the old standards, and day by day raise them higher." Mr. Wanamaker in address particularly urged support for the coming celebration of tbft 150th anniversary of American indepen dence. It recalls that he was one of the ablert promoters of the Philadelphia Centennial in 1S7C, raising the first million dollars for it. Fifteen years before he helped to organize the Christian sanitary commission, which did much valuable and needed service during and immediately followrng the civil war. Whn he was still a poor boy he established In a shoemaker's shop the Sunday school which was to become on of the largest and most famou in the world and over which be was to preside, scarcely missing a session, for more than half a cen tury He was the first salaried Young Men's Christian associa tion secretary in the country and ever since has been one of the as sociation's most generous support ers. His philanthropies have been far-reaching and numerous. Among his many useiul activ ities it is not surprising, however, that his career as a merchant has been especially selected as the one for his hosts of friends to mark with the milestones of hon or. His fellow merchants have long recognized him as a Nestor of their calling. Many of the paths to success were the pats which he pointed out. He was the pio neer one-price man; the first large employer of store workers materially to reduce the lengtn of the working day; he has al ways been a leading champion of newspaper advertising. His taste for newspaper work, evidenced in his youth when he conducted a little paper called Everybody's Journal, has had scope in later years when he has personally prepared the "daily editorial" for the advertisements of his big stores. His successful experi ments In profit sharing, in hous ing for poorer-paid workers, in rE '"I rite an eye glass prescription for your vision difficulties that will again bring peace and comfort to your sight.
