A. condition demanding remedy. m jrhe right of majorities to, rule is fundamental in a rep resentative form of government ; "' ,And the" successful pursuance of the doctrine advocated ,t by the Senate Democrats that the right of a majority to govern may be thwarted by a minority resorting to techni , , calities and false pretense in procedure represents a reaction from free government to tyranny which, if upheld, would ' set back the movement of popular government a century and ... , a half.,-.. V.-A.- .-..-.., s For more tharl S Srear the Senate has had in hand a tarifJ bill which represents fulfillment of the pledge of the party , in power in favor of the repeal of the existing tariff law and the framing of a measure based upon the protective principle The responsibility for legislation is upon the majority party The Senate minority, however has taken upon itself the re sponsibility OjT. defeating1 legislation in accordance with the protective principle and Republican platfortn pledges. The tariff bill has not been seriously debated on the Democratic side, whence there has been for weeks an almost continuous flowpf poppycock and piffle bearing no relationship to thie discussion supposed to be in hand. Under the leadership Xd Senators Heflin, ,Tom Watson,-Caraway and Harrison, Senate Democrats have devoted the time presumably allotted to de bate of the pending bill to personal and partisan harangues? not bearing the slightest relation to any principle or policy or. government, much less to any phase of the tanff measure 5 How long will the people of the United State3 stand su pinely by and allow such tomfoolery and tommyrot to go an in the chamber of (what has been supposed to be the highest deliberative body in the world ' 4 Reduced to a sort of monkey show? This filibustering of the minority makes legislation on a r given subject impossible, not only now but for all time to ' come ; . . ... I Throws a. monkey wrench into the machinery of govern- " went; holds everything up m a haze of hot air. - I Thus the people of this country have seen the line drawn. A Republican majority, with practical unanimity, announces its willingness to legislate in fulfillment of a platform Dledcre fundamental in Republicanism, for which a mandate has been given by the American people. On the other hand, a Dem .n ocratie minority goes publicly on record with the declaration that the majority, will not be permitted to legislate while the ,kj lungs of the Heflins, Harrisons, Tom Watsons and Caraways noia out ana tnere is no good reason for believing that they will weaken during the life time of the present Congress. ; There must be an issue joined indeed it i3 already joined - . -on the question of a majority tor a minority government; whether a political minority or a bloc minority, or any other kind of a minority, shall be allowed to prevail by any kind of hocus-pocus over the will. of the majority, i. .h f -r It is dangerous to allow this thing to go on; dangerous ll I HL..L!. .

LAM OF GLOOM Salem may secure the proposed Yeomen children's home that will represent an investment of at ea?t $8,000,000, and which in vestment will necessarily increase with the years. A good showing has been made by the Salem real tors and the Salem Commercial club and (other5 civic 'organiza tions here, and by our leading cftizens. But that is not enough. The matter must be pursued, right up to the last day of grace; and there must be a full prefen tation of all the facts, with a better site offered, too, than has so far been offered. This is a big task for the Salem Commer cial club. But it is worth while. The winning of the victory would be a great thing one of the big gest things that ever happened to Salem, or to Oregon.

Oregon has 8000 acres of English wal tint trees, and California has 40, 000 acres; and the average age of the trees Is greater in Cali fornia than in Oregon. But the Willamette valley is a better wal nut ."country thaji any part of California, and Oregon is des tined within the course of the next dozen to 20 years to become the. leading walnut state; and the industry needs protection against the cheap Manchnrian nuts raised by Chinese cheap labor, and other low priced and low grade foreign nuts. ro ment there are resources of ma terial and industry that would put the nation in the producing class and start it upon the road to prosperity.

Till: ltl$i MKXACR best that civilization should re train aloof until such day as sanity returns. When Russia dis arms her own soldiers and incites them to industrial effort it will be time erAugh for the United States to exchange visits. There can be nothing in common while present conditions exist. Russia does not even deserve our charity for while the Ameri can Relief association feeds her starving people the overlords ap propriate what gold they have left, stolen from the old imperial treasury and from the churches of that country, in carrying on propaganda work In other coun tries, including the United State?, in favor of their soviet system of government, and therefore against all civilised systems But even In face of this, our people served 10.000.000 meals last week to the starving of Rus sia; the record in such charity for there times or any time in the world's history. In face of the dismal failure of the Russian system, there are still men and women who can be hired to argue in favor if It. The longer the communistic reign of terror lasts in Russia, the more deplorable wilt he its failure; the more complete the breakdown of all the things that make for mod ern standards of life and comfort and freedom and morality and de cency in other countries.

All communications from our state department intended for Tthe Mexican government go straight to Mexico City. The recent burlesque that of ficially facilitated the forwarding of information concerning narco-' tics in this country from the state department to the secretariat of he League of Nations at Geneva by' way of The Hague compels the question, why cannot the state de partment summon the courage to address it3elf directly to Geneva? armed and trained for conflict Service in the army is thought to he desirable because in some way or other the soldiers are fed and clothed.

"Every thing is always Just the " same, even me." And she swayed back and forth a little as she balanced herself as usual on the tips of her toes. W- -'' She was a very pretty doll made of heavy cardboard with a stand to hold her erect. She had a lovely pink dress which had been pasted on her with care. I waa fluffy and scarlet and glowed In the light from the window. ' And Dancing Dolly stood there and smiled. It was the smiling she hated most. She had yellow curls and brtpht blue eyes and a lovely smile which, of course, was painted right on. She was forced to smile all the time, whether she wanted to or not, and no one, she was sure, felt like smiling all the time. -; Jy Sometimes she was tired and discouraged and felt as If she wanted to cry. Tout her eyes kept as -1 rig hi" as ever and her lips had to be curved in her everlast ing smile. "If I could only get some ex pression in my face," she said I'm sure I'd be -much more at tractive and people would notice me more. I heard one of the girl say just the other day she wae ' getting tired of me because of my sugary smile land ' vacant eyes. How can they know how I feel when I always look the same?" A gust of wind came through the room. The dancer spread her fluffy skirts and they served as sails. Away through the win dow she went happily out into the world. But the wind, after toy ing with her a little, dropped "her into the gutter, running with mud dy water and left her. And Now Everybody Can Listen in on the Great "Air Line" L She was in the water only, a minute, though. Out of the house rushed " the ? two girls to rescue her. They grabbed her -up out of the water.
