that party as it is today. If I could express one outstanding
wish, today while we are assembled to commemorate the
memory of that colossal statesman, it would be that we have
more of the spirit of Lincoln and the party of Lincoln than
we now have. I can not forget that I first acquired the trust
of my party before I was given the trust of the people of the
nation, and weli do 1 know that it was not I, the individual,
who won the election in November, 1920. It was the party
of Lincoln, of McKinley and of Roosevelt that was returned
to power by the will of the people."
The United States must main
tain a great merchant marine

people.
The drift towards transferring

TO MAINTAIN A GREAT MERCHANT MARINE
The proposition to maintain a great American marine
I To "establish a merchant marine commensurate with
our commercial importance," in the language of President
Harding 4 .- ",-!.
Was placed before the country yesterday, in an address
to a joint session of Congress by the President, and in a bill
introduced in both branches of Congress embodying the ad
ministration's ideas of the means to the end.
The ; proposition is to divert 10 per cent of the nation's
revenues from customs duties to the creation of a fund from
which will be paid subsidies to American ships ; stipulated
rates according to classes of vessels and of the importance
to the commerce of this country of the sea routes over which
they may run.
-There is little difference of opinion now in the United
States concerning the importance of the maintenance of a
great American "marine; plenty of vessels flying the Ameri
can flag to hold our proper place in international trade;
plenty of vessels of American register ready built and
equipped and manned in the event of need in case of war.
There is only one way now in which this country may be
assured of having such a merchant marine
And that , is through ship subsidies
And there is no better way in which to provide the money
to be diverted to this purpose than the taking of a percent
age of 411 our customs duties for the purpose. The greater
our foreign trade, the greater the fund for the payment of
the subsidies; and the "tariff for revenue only" in this re
spect will, it .is to be assumed, under a Republican adminis
tration, be also a tariff for the adequate protection of Amer
ican capital ana labor. -

IMMIGRANT INVASION PENDING
Many thousands of aliens are taking up their residence in
Mexico .and Canada for the purpose of getting across into
America after they have, established a years residence in
these countries. The immigration law provides that any one
who has lived in either Canada or Mexico for a year may im
migrate to the United States. The result is that many aliens
who cannot get past the United States barriers in any other
way are establishing a years residence in these contiguous
territories. It is proposed jto strengthen the law making a
.longer, perioCof. residence hecessary. 5 f

i ne emergency immigration iaw win expire j uiy : x ; ii
it were not to be re-enacted, the immigration to the United
States would be limited only by the capacity of steamships
to carry the alien peoples.4 It is expected, however, that the
emergency law will be extended for a period sufficmt ttf per
mit Congress to pass a permanent measure. ' ' 'r
. When it comes time to enact the permanent law Congress
' should be impressed with the necessity of making the meas
. ure , highly restrictive, forj to permit the invasion of vast
numbers of aliens would result in many serious consequences.
LINCOLN LOYAL TO HIS PARTY
The following is an extract, from the address of President
Harding at the Lincoln banquet of Republican Clubs:
"Lincoln was a party man. Lincoln was an out and out
partisan and no better or greater Republican ever served our
republic. Lincoln believed In his party and I, too, believe in leason of political conditions in
Bill Borah is out in an inter
view praising Woodrow Wilson

Great Britain will make an al
lowance of J25.000.000 the pres
ent year to pay the interest on
the money owing the United
States. John Bull is quite prompt
la the settlements of the installments.
The Irisho Free State is used
to pounds, shillings and pence,
but adoption of dollars and cents,
or some decimal equivalent,
which is proposed, would mean a
further step in freedom not
alone from British tradition and
influence.
IX TI1K DEPTHS
Civilization in Europe i3 now
confronted by something more
inister than war. Millions of
human beings invdecaying Russia
are stricken with contaminating
maladies that have crept out of
the earth like Invisible forces of
destruction to prey upon a strick
en and prostrate people. The
number of deaths occasioned by
violence during the last seven
years is negligible beside the
ghastly toll exacted by these ma
lignant elements of nature that,
thorough a collapse of orderly
government, have been released
to prey on humankind.
According to Wilbur Forrest, a
reliable American newspaper cor
respondent in Europe, "'disease,
following on the heels of famine
in Russia, is reaching' such pro
portions that Europe virtually
must declare a war of trenches
against the contaminating hordes
that are expected to swarm out
of Russia as soon as thaws open
the roads and make migration
possible."
Not in three centuries has the
civilization of the world been re
duced to such extremities. By
Russia no succor can come to
these unfortunate human beings
from within. For them to remain
in Russia is to perish, and to
allow them to go forth into the
adjacent countries is to permit
the contamination to spread.
What a warning to those who
hare been preaching that the re
straints of orderly society are not
worth the price we have to pay in
surrendering a part of our in
dividual liberty!
That Mr. Forrest has not ex
aggerated tbe existing conditions
fs proved by the statement just
ssued by the secretary of the
League of Natoins. From the of
fices of the League comes the
warning that typhus and cholera
are creeping across the border of
Russia into Poland, Lithuania
and the Ukraine. It is proposed
that a neutral zone 90 miles in
width ba established between
Russia and the neighboring state
and that none of tbe refugees be
permitted to pass beyond that
line.
A Bolshevik invasion of disease
is still more to be feared than one
of arms. While our hearts may
be wrung with anguish for tho
indescribable suffering within
Russ'a, stern measures must l.-e
taken to prevent the contamin
ation of the rest of Europe.
And the greatest tragedy of all
is that tbe present plight of the
Russian peoples is traceable di
rectly to a political cause and
could have been avoided. When
the Bolshaviloi set out to sys
tematically destroy the educated
classes of Russia and to abolish
capital'sm they broke down every
barrier that civilization can op
pose against the encroachments of
the malignant forces that come
out of the earth and air. When
the factories ceased making sewer
pipe the sewer systems of the
cities became clogged and inoper
ative. When th-; phys'cians were
killed, along with the rest, when
drug tores were looted and tbo
production of medicine and surgi
cal appliances stopped, the peo
ple were left without means to
oppose the spread of deadly mal
adies.
The Russian masses were too
ignorant to reason from cause to
effect. When filled with the lust
for plunder they did not know
that they were destroying the
th'ngs that made life in civilized
communities possible; nor did
they realize that what was so easy
to demolish would be difficult to
replace.
Never have the hidden forces
of nature enacted a more terrible
vengeance for the violation of
economic laws. The rest of the
world is ready to forgive the Rus
sian people for what they did in
their ignorance and passion, but
it cannot and must not forget.
What happened in Rnssia would
have been repeated hero if the
people had supported the radicals,
who attempted two years ago to
foment revolutions of violence ia
cur own country.
Civilizations are d'fficult to
baild. but easy to destroy. The
economic disintegration of Rnssia
was followed swiftly by a social
-illapee Vhlch' left h?r people
helpless before hunger and dis
ease and, what is still more tragic.
left the rest of the world practi
cally helpless to aid them.

There is a chill creeping, creep

BRAIX PUXCTURES
The local doctors were pleas
antly surprised the other day
when Dr. Rand showed them X-
ray moving pictures of the vari
ous operations of the human
brain. It seems that by boring a
tiny hole in the noodle a micro
scopic j'gger can be inserted that
will permit a ptcturization of the
brain. It will bo fine if they
can take movinc pictures of a
man's thoughts. At the same
time, the demand for a rigid cen
sorship will be made manifest. If
man can have his thinker map
ped so that folks can tell why
be votes for the single tax am
endment there will be a lot of
embarrassment ahead. Maybe th?
doctor had better burn his blue
prints, after all. i-Los Angeles

: With a handful ot clay any boy
or girl can make a set of colored
clay Wocks-the clay block game
that will, furnish amusement
for the whole family. ;
With a flat stick or a wide knife
smooth out the clay on your mod

an inch thick and three and a half
inches square. Mark at the half
inches on the four sides of I the
clay. :A sharp pointed stick may
be used to make the mark.
Take a piece, of string iri both
hands.! Hold It taut over the. clay,
i connecting two corresponding

drawing the string through.it
When the clay has been complete-

This done, pain the blocks
with , water colors. To do this place
the blocks in a square. There
will be seven rows, paint the four

Allow the paint to dry and then
apply a coat of white sfiellac to

The last step is the making of
the box in which- tc keep 'the
blocks. Any shallow lid that is
large enough will do. Mark off
halt-inch squares In the bottom of

enough to permit making a few
more sauares than there are
blocks. When you aro not oslng
twe o ocks tney may be kept in

game the lid may be nsed as a

, Bead-Making Is Fun.
Roll a small bit of clay in the
palm of your hand until the day
is perfectly round. Make a hole
in the ball while it is wet. using a
long, thin needle threaded with a
double piece of heavy thread. As
yon make more lxads string them
on this thread, and when yon hare
made enough hang them up (o
dry. When they haTo -4rfed-ct
out your wated colors and color
the beads. The method of doing
this is illustrated in the picture.
Hook the double thread to
something so that the thread may
be held taut. Thr beads should
be allowed to slide to the lower
end of the string. Slip the point
ot the needle into the hole of the
first bead. You can thus hold the
bead up while painting it. As each
bead is colored slide it along the
string tnd take up another bead.
Let the beads remain on the
string while they are doing.
When they have dried coat them
with white shellac. Do this in -the
same war that you - applied the
paint. Be very careful that the
beads do not touch each other
while the shellac is wet. It is
sticky and easily marred while in
that condition. When the shellac
has dried, the beads are ready for
wear.
Several suggestions for shapes
of beads are made in the drawing.
"And then," the Sewing Basket
went on, "there is the Shopping
Basket. Not so stylish, perhaps
but very wise and good company

THE MONEY MAKERS
Wltohout mentioning names,
the income tax man says that
there are five persons in America
each having incomes ot more than
$5,000,000 a year. No; they are
not newspaper folk. Some one
suggests that possibly two ot
them are Henry Ford and the
other three John D. Rockefeller.
Anyhow, they have something to
do with making the wheels go
"round.

Motional Canned Goods
H
Week
National Canned Goods Week is an annual event in the grocery trade.,
the United States the National Canners' Association are advertising, demonstrat
ing and giving the public information with nfjards to canned-goods. blnce tne
event of the enamel-lined tin the canned goods industry has made enormous strides
so that today about every fruit or vegetable grown Is put in cans. ..The prosperity
of our own city and community is dependent on the success of the canned goods
industry as the three canneries in, Salem pack millions of cans of our home products
and in this way distribute them all over the civilized world. .
National Canned Goods Week comes at a time when the home-canned slocks of
fruits and vegetables are becoming exhausted and the variety of fresh goods Is
verv limited. This is especially true this year as owing to the continued cold
weather in California very few vegetables are turning to our market. !
Below we present a partial list of our cinried goods and as previously advertised
we offer a discount of 10 per cent from these prices in dozen lots or assorted dozens
