j TELL IT TO THE MARINES AND LEMON MEN
( "!' -'!' ' ;-.:, - ,v : ; ' :;. '
The fellow who was saying, a little bit ago, that a pro
tective tariff would not help the cherry growers of the Sa
lem district bught to tell it,to the marines
, : And the California lemon srrowers.
A few jmonths ago the California growers of lemons
were dumping their lemons, or putting up signs telling the
passers-by tD help, themselves, and there was a moving pic
ture and there were magazine illustrations showing moun
tains of lemons piled .up; dumped to go to waste
Because the prices the growers could get, in competi
tion with the lemons of Italy and other countries, that were
coming In under a duty of only half a cent a pound, under
the Democratic Underwood tariff bill, were not high
enough in the markets of the East to pay the increased rail
road freight bills across the country. !
But something happened
Several; things happened, among them the shipping by
thd Panama canal route
; But the most important thing that happened was the
enactment of the emergency tariff law. mittinor a hirh dutv
on lemons; the most important

1 So Ithe lerton crowera of nalifnrnlftV.whn wra nn iha
ragged edge of ruin a very short time ago, are now bulging
into the plutocratic class. Their industry has been saved.
Thfe prices of lemons are so high in the East that the
lemorf importers are using the argument that the growers
of California are rolling In wealth and profiteering and have
no mercy on the consumerV-using, these f arguments in an
attempt tor work up sentiment for a lower .tariff rate on
foreign 'grown lemons in the main tariff bill now under con
sideration in, Congress.-J
The lemon growers of California do not expect a. tariff
rate on! lemons that will guarantee them around $12 a box
for their, product, t That would be as injurious to the lemon
industry as 14 cents a pound for loganberries for any great
length of time 'would be to the loganberry industry.
It; j would drive everybody with land . and climate that
would produce lemons into lemon growing; and the business
would be over done in this country. "
But they do expect a rate that will make up the dif
ference .between the cost of raising lemons in California or
Florida and producing them with the pauper labor of Italy
md other, lemon growing countries . ' .
' Afid they have a right to expect that
Just as our cherry: growers have a right to1 expect the
same thing. , " , -
It was written of old that the manVho looks not out for
his own is worse than an infidel.
The protective tariff is an American principle; it rec
ognizes the spirit that demands the upholding of the Ameri
can standards of living. It is the spirit that will maintain
this great nation in its leadership in all things ; for the
good not on of this country, but for all the world. We
cannot bring Russia up by going down to the Bolshevik stan
dards ; nor Italy, nor Japan, nor arty other country with low
priced labor and low standards of living.
We can be of service to them in all lines, of leadership
by maintaining here high standards ; by preserving our abil
ity to be of service. -
. ! . . ; i. ', : "!- '
The Salem Commercial Club will be supported. There
is no doubt of the spirit that demands this and will see it
through. - But it should be better supported than it has been
heretofore. The campaign that is started ought not to be
allowed to stop short of this. Make the support adequate to
the needs of the city aifd community. ! ,

Russia has recently exhibited
a fay of sanity; the soriets re
fuse to let Lincoln Steffena come
back.
Grorcr Cleveland Bergdol! has
applied for, citizenship in Ger
many. Not we shall know how
depraved Germany really is.
The fool borrows money to go
on a vacation; and the wonld-be
wise man doesn't take a vacation
and borrows money to pay the
hospital bill.
Those S. 000, 000 individual
home owners in the United States
comprise the most powerful stand
ing array for national defense
against Bolshevism and Social
ism that has ever been assem
bled. .
Lenine says that the Commun
ist ideal has been vindicated in
.Rtlssia. Curious that Hobespierr!
should have said the sam thing
about the Terror of France just
two days before he was guillo
tined. Japanese diplomats were puz
zled two months ago when Pres
ident Harding sent General Wood
oh a peaceful mission to the Phil
ippines. Now they are wonder
ing why the British government
selected Admiral Jellicoe for gove-
eraor general of New Zealand.
City Beautiful is the Salem slo

'evils op nullification.
Dallying with a national law in
as dangerous as distributing
matches in a powder magazine.
To decline to obey a law because
one personally disapproves the
principle it codifies is to deny the
right of existence of representa
tive government. Patriotism con-
ists In putting the public welfare
before personal interest. A law
"S the expression of tha will of
the majority; it is the public will,
and to oppose th'e iniividual will
to the public will is to violate the
fundamentals of the American
constitution.
The eighteenth amendment is
as much a part of the constitution
as the fifth amendment, which
provides that no person shall be
deprived of life, liberty or prop
erty, without due process of law.
The eighteenth amendment was
passed by 'a two-thirds vote of
both houses of congress and rati
fied by "he legislatures of three-
fourths of the states Its valirllt
has been attested to by the su
preme court of the United State3-
and it will continue to be a law
until an amendment repealing it
has been approved by a two-thirds
vote in congress and ratified by
,three-fourths of the American
states
Whatever one's individual opin
ion, the lid on . booze 1 nailed
down and reinforced with bands
of steel, and it is not at all prob
able that the present generation
will see the prohibition amend
ment . repealed. We are fully
aware that there are sections of
the country In which if Is not
popular, wkere local self-determination
would lead to its Immedi
ate repeal; but that is no justifi
cation for either violation or lax
enforcement. The, Volstead act
is regarded by many as a viola
tion of individual liberty; but it
is the will of the majority and
any violation of its provisions is
a criminal act.
Nullifying a law by lax en
forcement is taking dangerous
liberties with constitutional gov
ernment. In one of his messages
to congress President Grant said,
with that blunt directness of
thought and i speech that char
acterizes the i successful military
commander: i VThe best way to
get a bad law repealed is to en
force it strictly." Strict enforce
ment is the most certain way to
secure a repeal ot the Volstead
act, if one proceeds on the theory
that it is objectionable to a ma
jority of the people of the coun
try. There are hundred? of persons
throughout the country who take
delight in "making their own
booze." j They seem to imagine
that there is virtue in it. But
making a mockery of la is man
ifesting contempt for the law.
The question Involved is of far
deeper significance than that of
prohibition; It is one of support
ing the; fundamentals of Ameri
can constitution. "
Americanism is taught by ex
ample jrather than by precept;
and the foreigners in our country
who see. Americans violating with
Impunity the eighteenth amend
ment will find In that condition
sufficient: justification for them

to violate other amendments.
Civil liberty guarantees to each
individual the right to live ac
cording to the laws of the coun
try, not according to the dictates
of his conscience or his opinions
about what laws should orshou'd
not be.
Possibly the worst offender
against constitutional government
Land public morals in lh4 country
is the public official, sworn to
enforce the law, whq winks at
violations of the law and fails to
use due vigilance in its rigid en
forcement. Next in order comes
the citizen who helps others vio
late the law or shields them from
just punishment when aware of
their infractions.
It is not within the right or the
power of any citizen to modify
the laws of the land. They are
written by a process clearly de
fined in the federal constitution.
If there were no laws there would
be no country and no civilization.
Respect for the law demands the
observance and the enforcement
of all laws. In this way alone
the good ones will grow in the
public favor and the bad one:?
will be repealed. There are parts
of the country in which the Vol
stead act may not become popu
lar within our lifetime, but there
were parts ef the country in
which the emancipation act was
not popular for more than a gen
eration after it "was passed.
But few cared to show their
opposition to the fourtenth am
endment by continuing to keep
slaves; the government enforced
its terms without lear or favor.
And it is the opinion of every
good, 100 per cent American citi-
hten that the government should
show equal diligence in compell
ing the enforcement of the 18th
amendment. Permitting minori
ties to destroy what the majority
has created is lending encourage
ment to violence.
POWER OP THK PRESIDENT.
The legal functions of the pres
ident's office are so eminent that
he cannot escape the responsibil
ities of executive action, however
much he may be inclined to avpii
them. His constitutional pow
ers alone make him the pivot
upon which all the administra
tive machinery operates.
He appoints the heads of de
partments and may direct their
major policies. His power of ap
pointment to all the, greater of
fices is far-reaching. He can re
commend, shape and veto legisla
tion. His control over foreign af
fairs is virtually complete. Ho
!s commander In chief of the army
and the navy. In short, he is tin
most potent constitutional func
tionary in the world.
All these constitutional pow
"rs have been' vastly augmented
by practice and custom. The
president today can do innum
erable things that George Wash
ington or Thomas Jefferson
would never have dared do, even
if they had thought of them.
. The constitutional conception
of the president is that of a chief
executive, an administrator; cus
tom has added to thi3 conception
that of leadership, of initiation.
Samuel P. Orth in Yale Review.
MAX AM) HIS APPETITE.
At the national convention of
American caterers much refer
ence was made to the fact that
prohibition or something had
changed the appetites of so many
men and women. It was declared
that the average person had
tbrned to salads and sweets and
left the red meats and heavier
foods. The man who wanted a
blocd-rare steak may now appeasa
himself with a chocolate eclalre
and a bit of water cress. The
only gentleman who once de
manded his raw hamburger may
now soothe himself with a mor
sel of French pastry and a jigger
of malted milk. Whether he is
the better off for the change is
something for the doctors to
fight about.
THE FAR NORTH.
Explorer Stefansson was about
the one man in the world who
did not know that the big war
wa going on. He went into the
frozen silences before the Serb
ian explosion and did not come
out until after the armistice. But
he is concerned with world prob
lems and he now declares that
what we call the frozen north
will be the world's meat market.
The best mutton in the uni
verse can be raised in the Arctic
circle, and the explorer says that
Jn less than 20 years Siberia.
Alaska and British Columbia will

WOMEN CLERKS.
The Chicago employment bureau
reports that women clerks are
monopolizing positions in that
city because Ihey are better and
more efficient workers. It de
clares that women clerks don't
put their feet on the desks; criti
cise the boss, waste time reading
the sporting news in office hours,
leave the office to smoke ; clear
fttes nor gather in grouim JO
gossip, swear, flirt or boatt.

years she suffered under the ridi
cule and criticism of her male
rivals. But in Chicago, at least,
she has evidently lived; it all

and lipsticks have not done her
any serious harm? or perchance
that the short skirt and lipstick
variety don't go in for clerking.
