He said he hoped to have the main tar iff law in effect in April, and surely not later than the end of May. 1 ( The end of May Is approaching, and this bill has not yet been 'introduced though it has been in preparation since the first of. the year. The Salem district is intensely interested in this pro posed .main-tariff law. Next to Chairman Fordney, our Con gressman Hawley is the outstanding member of the com mittee working on the bill ! i - And, his constituents in this district have large hopes from his labors of a tariff higher than 3 cents a pound on Cherries, as carried in the emergency bill; they hope for a duty of 6 cents on cherries, and adequate duties on flax and hemp products ; on wool and hides, on eggs, and on the whole Hit of agricultural products of this district coming into com pe'titlon with -foreign cheap labor. . 1 i In-order to be of benefit to our cherry crop of this year, and to many of 'our other products, this bill should be hurried along and soon placed on the federal statute books. i -The preparation of the bill is a great task, for many reasons, among' them the Jow.ahd fluctuating price of for eign exchange. It is the greatest task ever undertaken in this field In this or any county but the time is due and over due for the introduction of the bill and it should be given the right of way, for many. reasons affecting the prosperity if all our people and the stability of commerce the whole world over.

If this, were generally done, in due course of ttme there would be ample funds for ex tensions and additions to equip ment, with the small earnings that may be made by the hospital it self. There will also be some col lateral gifts. For instance, the American War Mothers of Salem hare undertaken the raising of $7000 to endow a ward for serrlce men and women: and nearly 1000 of this sum has already been accumulated. The hospital board ought not, of rource. to un dertake a larger beginning of this work than can be financed now or in the near future: bnt Its plans for ultimate work ought to be large. If the board will aim high, it will reach high, la The hundredth anniversary of the passing of Napoleon centers attention anew on one of the baf fling figures of all time a man at once attractive and repulsive: a soldier of infinite courage who on at least one occasion acted the coward; a master strategist who, to the last, seemed never to fully grasp that strategy by which he almost recast a world. He found Europe feudal and left it modern. He opened up new realms of knowledge to the savants; revolutionized military tactics; founded lasting indus tries; gave a new birth to French law; mocked and yet fostered freedom. More volumes have been Writ ten regarding him than any other character in history one except ed. Nevertheless, he still remains the most elusive, the most un satisfying geinus that the world has ever known. His accomplishments have by this time been fully set forth and properly valued. We know that he stands practically alone as the great strategist of the ages. Crom well, on a smaller scale and with in a far more limited sphere, more nearly approaches him, perhaps, than does any other. We know also that he was an adroit politician and a statesman on a scale rarely equalled in Eu rope. He was also an orator and an adept at coining phrases. He was am executive of, Immense power and a man of tremendous personal charm. Of course, he was relentless cruel, unscrupulous and all the rest of It,- as we have been so often told. Bnt. praise and biamt aside, the question of the source of his power still remains the important thing about him. Certainly he was not great be cause he was a brilliant student, for, all In all. he was not deeply read. It could hardly be claimed that he was of the electric, as similative type, for he would listen to no one and held the opinions of others In contempt. lie was not even a strong reason- er as the term 'Is generally used. Wherein, then, lay that genlur which makes him the outstanding Frenchman and one of the su preme personages of history? Ap parently be was pre-eminent be es use, mora than almost any man who aver lived, be had the pow er of harnessing his Intuitive pro cesses to his practical problems, He, it seems, was able to tap that vast, bidden and unsung res ervoir of knowledge which is tht epitome of all ' thai' the bumao ffllad has grasped and which, though flowing through the sub conscious mind of all. is available lr. its entirety to but few and then la all too brief flashes. The theory ' of the duality of the human mind, with its every day, jerky reasoning powers and its submerged, smooth Intuition., finds its strongest support In eueh an Individual. The subliminal rornd, psychol ogists tell us, reaches out into dally life when the normal Intel ligence is in abeyance as4n sleep or profonnd relaxation. This sub liminal (below the threshold) mind ia swifter than the conscious mind and overreaches it In a flash. It is practically unerring. It is controlled by laws not yet grasped to any great extent. It is hidden from life, yet rules it. Mystics have the gift. In vary ing degree, of allowing their sub conscious minds to engulf and enfold them. The real poets have written in words, that live be cause, unknowingly, they have fallen, back on , and given expres sion to the accumulated bopes and visions of the mind of man. The prophets have simply been those with the power to make their Instincts vocal. Genius, in all its phases, is seemingly but the measure of the extent to which men co-ordinate their two minds, their instinct and their reason. Napoleon, in practically every crisis in , which he functioned, struck those about him as being In a dazed and unnatural, eons ditton. He had those same peri ods of semi-stupefaction that a contemporary writer says charac terized Caesar. Paul, Alexander; Goethe, Lincoln and other ex ceptional men at the time of or immediately following a terrific use of their mental machinery. What. then. if. in the final an alysis. It should be shown that Napoleon's greatness lay in the fact that he did not take his own mind or any other man's mind too seriously? DECREE WORK. The University of Warsaw has conferred its first honorary de grees. Woodrow Wilson. Herbert Hoover and Marshal Foch were made doctors of law. Polished gentlemen are the specialty of this university, but these three can not be made Polish gentlemen, even by degrees. However, Woodrow Wilson has been made a doctor of laws by so many col leges that it is no wonder he has gone into the law business with Bainbridge Colby. Herbert Hoo ver was honored because of his work for the relief of the women and children of Poland. He Is also being repaid by degrees. THE BAD MUX. Motor bandits are raising such havoc that in many states special legislation is sought in the ef fort to check their activities. The Illinois assembly is about to pass a bill which would make the purchase of a stolen automobile a felony. The intent is to make it impossible to buy a car except from an authorized dealer or a registered owner. Men who deal In stolen cars would be quickly sent over the road. A new law also requires the display of a white tall light so placed that the license number is plainly vis ible from a distance of 50 feet at any and all times when on the road. ' In some states it is pro posed to make auto banditry a capital 'offense when acconipan 'ed by the use of firearms. When a criminal has a gun and a road ster his capacity for wrong is al most beyond reckoning. SLIPPING. The dean of St. Paul's Cathed ral says that England is nearing its decadence, while America is onjy approacning lis senna as a world power and authority. The United States is the bulwark of Christianity and civilization These are rather strange words (o come from an English church man, but. are reassuring as far as America Is concerned. If an American bishop were to declare that Great Britain had become decadent or was on the verge of senility many people would promptly declare the assertion both unkind and untrue. But the dean of St. Paul's should speak with some authority. The point is that everybody seems to expect the United States to keep the Mgbt burning on the altar of civ ilization. That seems to be our responsibility. We've got to take tare of poor, decadent England, b'gosb! not specify "South Carolina." It is the first time in many years that but one Smith has held down a seat in the senate. For a long period there were four of that name answering to the hail of senator. The elections last No vember were fatal to the Smiths, eliminating from the senate Hoke of Georgia, Mark of Arizona and John of Maryland. THE STANDING ARMY. SHIPMENT BY ITER GROWS The house reduced Uncle Sam's standing army to 150,000 men. It is figured that if they keep that many standing it should suf fice. It will cost still more to buy rock In chairs for the sitting army of 100,000 which Uncle Sam also k.eeps at Washington. If they could arrange this thing so that the standing and sitting armies could divide their time, the country might be a We to get along with half the number of each. If the sitters would be the standing army on nights and Sun days it would help. Likewise, the standing army might improve in morale if it had an overstuffed davenport to sit on part of the lime. Los Angeles Times. BOOKMAKERS. When Woodrow Wilson was asked what he thought about Lan sing's book on the peace confer ence, he is said to have remarked: "If Lansing can stand the 'revel ations' of his book, I can." Which is probably true. The "Wilson epidermis thickened under serv ice while the Lansing writings do not seem to have perceptibly add ed to the prestige of the author. The critics are waiting with rath er more interest for the "revel ations" of Col. Edward Mandell House, which are shortly expected in the form of a rather bulky vol ume of a thousand pages or so. As Colonel House is also sup posed to have had a falllng-out with his chief, he may do a little carping himself, but it is prom sed that he will be more Inter esting and informing than wae the former secretary of state. It looks as if the Boswell stunt, how ever, would have to be left to Joe Tumulty. BITS FOR BREAKFAST A FERVENT PRATER. Professor Shorey of Chicago university stated the exact fact when he said recently: "The educated American who, to indulge a personal prejudice or for political or journalistic ends, deliberately tries to breed bad blood between America and the British empire deserves no place on any platform or at any private dinner table. He is either a devil or a venomous fool." General Dawes was no less out- Beautiful, blossom nj spring, S V The man who is not making garden is a rare bird. S More broccoli growers showed up yesterday. It is very impor taut that. If you are going into broccoli this year, you should make up your mind, and get your seed, before the end of May. The more the better for all the growers. The northern lights were so strong last night that they put the Assoc'ated Press wires on the blink in the early part of the eve ning. Did you see the northern lights? If yon did not, you missed a great and beautiful free show. S Mlt Miller, in his address to the Salem Rotarians Wednesday noon, said that Oregon raised over $160,000,000 for all the war ac tivities was first, "over the top" ia almost all things, and surprised herself and the nation. And did this without apparently making herself any poorer; though any leading banker would have said in the beginning that five milUons would have been an impossible sura to raise.

This is the opinion of C. 1. Lewis, assistant manager of the Oregon Growers Cooperative as sociation. He has just- returned from Yakima, where he took an important part in the arguments for lower freight rates on fru t3 before representatives of the in terstate commerce commission. Water Shipment Near It is probable that within a very short time, 10,000 ears t iruit will be shipped annually by water, all from the Pacific north west. The California Fruit Growers exchange of southern California shipped 8,000 cars of lemons and oranges last season by water mostly to the Atlantic coast. Oranges and lemons may be shipped by water with Just ordi nary ventilation between boxes, but with fruits cold storage is nec essary, Mr. Lewis said. With the immense fruit possibilities of the northwest, big steamship lines are preparing to build tp handl the fruits of the Immense tonnage and to build cold storage ware houses at shipping points. I Refriaera'cr Cam Few In the discussions of shipments by railroad it developed that there are In the United States 80,000 refrigerator cars and that if the entire crop of the northwest was sb'.pped in such cars, more than 100,000 would be necessary. Hence the necessity of water ship ments in cold storage. In the plea for lower freight rates, Mr. Lewis was one of the 10 representative rrmt growers who were called to the witness stand to show the necessity of lower rates to the east for apples, pears and dried prunes. He was appointed a member of a commit tee of eight to work out a plan for the betterment of fruit exports to Europe whereby money can be saved gTowers in securing better rates, better export facilities and uniform sale conditions. The plan when worked out, will fce submitted to the fruit exporters of the northwest. IriMtnrbed Labor Worrie Mr. Lewis was also appointed a member of a committee on Pa- Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Come.

He is the sole represen tative of the great and numerous Smith family. His name appears on the roll sheets as simply "Mr. Smith." He looks up with a puz zled expression whenever the clerk shouts his name and does "An Ounce of Prevention in Worth a Pound of Cure" A disturbance of the even bal ance of health, which often oc curs in these trying days of recon struction may cause ser ous trouble. Nobody can be too care ful to keep this balance up. When people begin to lose appe tite, ox to get tired easily, the least imprudence brings on sick ness, weakness, or debility. Tbe system needs a tonic, craves it. and should not be denied it; and the best tonic that many people recommend is Hood's Sarcapar.lla. What this medicine has done in keeping healthy people healthy, in keeping up the even balance of health, gives it the same distinc tion as a preventive that it enjoys as a cure. Its early use has illus trated the wisdom of the old say ins that "a stitch in time saves nine." Preventive treatment now and then calls for the use of a good cathartic or laxative, like Hood's Pills, which are purely vegetable and act quickly and thoroughly. Adv.
