THE FLOUNDEEINO OF FEANCE It is getting ! easier In Salem and Marion conitty to enforce the law against jootleggers an! moonshiners or! perhaps It would he more nearly jcorrwt to say it is getting harder. The business is not carried on as openly as it was a little while back. And it is going to be carried on still less openly, for .the I officers are go ing to be mors (vigilant, and the penalties are going to be more severe. . , v The resignation yesterday of Premier Briand of France and his cabinet carries great interest ;in all the wide world. It is an event showing the great difference of opinion in France on A number of questions of international importance Affe'ctbg profoundly the agreements reached in the peace "conference at Washington and the negotiations for an adjust ment on a better basis of the reparations payments by Germany, and efforts to reach conelosions concerning the exchange situa tion and financial readjustments generally in Europe. j Th United States is concerned in all these matters vitally, because our, country has become the first world power in most 'particulars affecting the well being of the citizens of all lands. m -.The well wishera of France in the United States including n earl v all the people of this country who are capable of reason -and sympathy have fajth that France will ultimately find; her sonl; that she will get over her case of nerves and shell shock, nnd that she will finally come to be in complete accord with the 'aspirations of the forces hoping (and working for conditions leading to complete understandings among all the nations of the c -earth; making for international justice and permanent peace. t France is floundering now, but her great past in brilliant i leadership of ideals of democracy and. justice is a guarantee , that she will not fall from her high place. BLOCS AND POLITICAL PARTIES i ..'A New York member of Congress wants "blocs'' prohibited by lam The gentleman might' aa well demand the prohibition , t the Republican and Democratic: parties. A party is a bloc as much as a bloc is a bloc, in the constitutional sense. The con , stitution does not recognize political parties. They were inherit v' ed from England like tfie common law and high sheriffs. Pres ident George Washington hoped to opvern without parties and consequently Hamilton and Jefferson quarreled, on the inside of his tabmet instead of on the outside. The first party in America under the constitution was a bloc and so was the second party New parties have always started as blocs drawing their strength from all possible sources. ' Antislavery Whigs and Democrats hack in the 40 's and 50 's got together on the slavery issue and , by 1856 they had become a regular party with the name Repub No bloc can be killed by talk or making faces. There is no Stopping one unless its job is taken from it by the old parties, The basis of parties is their usefulness in government? the test of a bloc is the unique work it does for enough people to tnake it worth while. If there is a larg'e group of people who cannot get results to suit Ihem through j bloc will arise, to meet the need. one of the regular parties, a Political science in that case points to this development : Either one of the regular parties will take over the mission of the bloc and swallow.it whole, or the bloc will eventually swallow; one of, the regular, parties If r the issue it stands for, is sufficiently commanding -and; per ' " The present farm bloc in Congress is a true .bloc because i draws strength "from both the old parties and came into exist ence to 'satisfy the pressing demands of a large economic group. But it is without the elements of permanence, according to the precedent of the Populist party jwhich originated in the same way and for similar reasons. Whether this bloc will have much of a run dependens entirely on future economic conditions KIXG COTTOX DETHRONED lessofi for a long time.' since the old days of one crop a year the grata crop. ;. .. ' 'And lately they have been learning a still mora, Important lesson That the Salem district Is es pecially . adapted tp the produc tion of a large diversity of crop that may be grown"! to better -ad-tantage and at greater profit her than in any other section of the country, or of the?wor!d. This is the reason why Salem and the surrounding country keep going, ahead, with good or fair business, while many other citlei or sections, . depending upon on or a few crops, or on manufactur ing or mining industries, have lately been hard hit. ; And the more tbfese spec!altles in agriculture and manufacturing here In Sitfem and ths Salem territory are pushed, the more this sect' on and city will prog per, and the faster they will de velop into Gibralter growth anl prosperity. The farming districts of Amer. ca that run to cine crop frequent ly experience disaster. Droughty or some psst may destroy the prospects of the season, but some times a tragedy ' of this kind may be a blessing in disguise. In an Alabama town - the farmers of th3 neighborhood have erected a bronze foantain'in honor of the cotton boll weevil. This bitter and implacable ; enemy of what was once Ahieriea's foremost crop administered a lesson to the planters that hjas resulted in a profit to them. Year after year and generation alter generation their lands were planted to cot" ton. It the crbp was good and the price .high they made money, out this combination almost nev er happened.' r when ' the r weevil ?ot In, the crop was spoiled and the planters starved or nearly so. Two or three successive sea sons of the weevil brought them nigh. to. bankruptcy and finally a CbTirtianla. Afalta. Paris. Pragn, Rome and elsewhere and a little later from Nova Scotia. -To the Important Invention which, has enabled wireless oper ators to direct a specially power ful wave 'm a determined dir30 tion, instead of sending waves of equal-force in all directions at once, is now added the hope r. direct conmunicaMon between two stations only.

The enthusiastic group of ama teur wireless operators in and around Salem will-be interested to learn, if they have not alreadr heard that a violin; solo of "Ham- oresque" played into the transmit. ter of a wrieiess j telephone at Wichita, Kan., the 'other day was distinctly heard on . tbe coast of Scotland by a representative of the American Radio1- relay leagu?, Paul P. Oodley.' It was Just an incident of the league's experi ments undertaken to determine whether the short waves permit ted to amateur operators in this country are effective for inter continental communication. - Mr. Godley also heard a piano solo played somewhere in Ameri ca, and in the course of his 10 days In the rain in the open field at Androssen he heard from, 26 wireless stations ' in America ' about five ! times as many as he j had hoped to hear from and one of them was at Atlanta, Oa 3500 miles away.' It is easy to believe! that he was enthusiastically re ceived by l his fellow' amateur upon his arrival In New York, a few days ago. The 0,000 mem bers of the league In the. United States and Canada are expect! to multiply 'as a result of the sen sational success just accomplish ed.

There were about 200 of them and some one remarked that "there are a lot of us left yet" And most of them look like they might last for a good while. There were many tales and reminiscences of the old days when Salem was new and crude, measured by modern conveniences and later inventions. put the spirit of those times was as free and jolly and enjoyable as that of the present in a more hurried and care-full period.

And in the morning the milk would be gone and their shoes, would be mended up as good as new. "No one ever saw the shoe maker at work, though sometimes nnbelieving tlks would hide be- nma trees at n.ght to watch, hut he couldn't be fooled and he nev er came to mend the shoes those nights.
