"Unwittingly, no doubt, one more Democratic Senator "has testified to the interest of the Rentihlican nartv in t he welfare of the American farmer. Senator Carraway, of Ar kansas, arose in the Senate a few days ago to complain that a certain Senator had voted in favor of the protective tariff on. wool while that Senator is declared in the Congressional Directory to be the 'largest producer of wool and mutton in the world.' Carra way's argument was that thi3 man was voting to put money in his own pocket, through the pro tective tariff. HJe insisted that when a Senator votes in his own interest he should disclose that fact. Without appar ently realizing it, the Democrat from Arkansas was empha sizing the. fact that the Republican party had sent a practical-farmer to. the Senate it has 3ent several of them, in fact and that such a farmer not only votes in his own in terest but in the interest of a large majority of his constit- tlfinfa - TVlA TWmrwTfi f tn tti a nfofoaf vf tit a A mariQn mm W WVWs MU SSS Mi WW V VTA, VUC m tVitll VVl lUimer, are always trying to assure the importation of cheap commodities. .The Republicans are always trying to make will not be able to seize the American market. ' - "The absurdity of. the position taken by Carraway was shown by Senator Bursum, of New Mexico, who asserted that it would be impossible to make up a Senate of men .who had 'no interest In any industry. It . would not only be impossible but 'undesirable. . No man can so thoroughly understand the J needs' of an industry as one who has engaged in it and knows by .practical experience all the difficulties that must be met and overcome. . ; . , . " : i "While Carraway. was making his absurd protest against ; a farmer in the Senate voting for protection on farm prod ucts, Senator .Gooding called attention to the fact that Car raway had voted for a protective duty on rice, although he fwas opposed to protection on everything else. Carraway (hastened to assert' that neither he nor any of his relatives had any interest whatever in rice production. The ready . explanation of Carraway's vote is that rice is very extensive ly produced in Arkansas. Even if Mr. Carraway had no fi nancial interest in rice, he evidently had a political interest. nt he did riot vote dollars into his pocket, he hoped to win a 'few thousand ybt&s'by the hypocritical attitude of favoring "protection on rice at the same time that he opposes protec tion as ft:prfcple.;;' , : . : "The Republican landslide of 1920 brought to the Senate and the House an unusually large number of men who are ac tively engaged in production, either of raw materials or man mk ' kVTWOOt ,' TTT0T ao&xa Copyright, 1022, Associated Editors' FOerraJfrTEI By' Garnet .Lesson No. ft The Thumb's Own ' " .- :.

Yon have an ar usuc aispoaition, too, and are SALEM, OREGON ufactured articles. There are miners, cattle men, sheepf men, grain growers, fruit growers, manufacturers of almost every line of goods, and also men engaged in banking, medicine, and the law. The Carraway argument, followed to it3 logical conclusion, would bar all these men from voting on anyf ques tion in which they had any interest whatever, and would, therefore, deprive the country of the best services of the men who are in a position to serve it best. "It should be Rioted, in this connection that Senator Car raway argued, among other things, that a Senator should dis close the interest he has in a question presented for a vote. This condition had been fully met by the Senator who had voted for protection on wool. Each Senator supplies the in formation for his biography in the Congressional Directory, and it was from this that Carraway got the information that the Republican Senator is the largest producer of wool and mutton in the world. There had been no deception or evasion." The Senator referred is Senator Stanfield of Oregon. There is no man in the Senate, or the entire country, better able to furnish to his colleagues the information they need in making up the schedules for the sheep breeding in dustry, the information they ought to consider in making up their minds concerning the duties calculated to make, the schedules protective, which they should be, for the benefit of the whole country, and not for the benefit solely of the men engaged in the industry, or any individual so engaged.

JR. a d I WHEN THE FIRE FLEW "This meadow is getting so crowded," complained Mrs. Aaron Firefly. "It's terrible. You can't move around at all without run ning Into someone else." "I know It," replied Mr. Aaron Firefly, "but something is to be done about it.. All the fireflies in the meadow are going to have a meeting to make traffic rules. Everybody realizes how badly they are needed. "It's about time. grumbled Mrs: Firefly. "It's really not safe to b about," So the next night there was a meeting of the whole tribe of fire flies that lived- In Fancher mead ow. After a great deal ot buss ing they drew np traffic rules about tall lights, wheeling, and circling, and the use of' dimmers. From the automobiles that sailed along the highway past the mead ow, they got man pointers aa to the rules ot the road. The new rules worked fine. Thero was very little trouble in getting them started. Once more .peace and order ruled in Fancher Meadow. Peace, and order would have continued. too. if, .U hadn't been for Johnny Glowworm, who hap pened to wander into the meadow one evening as he was on a cross country tour. Johnny had never heard of the " Fancher meadow traffic rules.7 He plodded along on the ground, without noticing is comparatively a new science. What the future will reveal in making safe the use of the plane remains yet to be seen. Whatever kind of weather we may have from now on till pick ing time, it looks like the prune crop that is coming on in the Salem district will be limited only to the pickers and the available drying space. THE 'CHEMIST AND HIS MOtt TAK (Third article In a series of ar ticles by Paul O. Sampson, na tionally known fpod expert.) The fctomach is the mortar in which the chemist who mixes our foods does his mixing. The chem ists are the taste buds placed on the back of our tongue. These chemists are so accurate that they wilt always place the right Juices in the stomach to digest (he foods we offer them, if we do not hurry the food past them before, they have time to taste the same. An- other very important work they will do is to tell what kind of 9 ' . food we require and the number of calories of each kiiyi, if we will let them. . . A lady said to me one day: "You know my uncle and I be came interested . la the caloric theory and would go to the mar ket with our basket to buy a well balanced meal. We soon, found that it was no small job, and gave It up in disgust." The taste buds will act as our calory gauge if we .will let them. Let the taste buds work.

Others rushed up to see what the trouble was, and in a few minutes all was a confusion of squirming bodies and lights. "What is that ball of light over there?" asked Dickie, as he and hid father drove down the rod past Fancher - meadow. "Why. that must be the will -ft the wisp you -hear about. Queer looking, isn't it?" Dickie shiver ed, and asked his father to drive taster.

Did yon ever crave some good baked beans? Well, your system required some pro teins. Then yoa found presently, that they did not taste as good as at first. The taste buds were saying, "Knough of that class of food." So it Is with all foods; wc will crave, them and get the well-balanced nourishment if the taste bads have not been pervert ed with cocaine or some other harmfnl stimulant. A perverted taste is easily acquired if the ap petite is indulged because some i food tastes especially good and we overeat of the same. . These 8ame taste buds act as sentinels to vrefuse things that should not go into he stomach, if they are allowed to taste them. Hasty ,eating is one of the ob jectionable habits we often in dulge. The person who runs at meal time 'seldom runs very long after the meal. Taste can and should be culti vated for "the proper foods. At cne time I did not like carrots. My wife would say, "Your knowl edge of foods tells you that car rots have a desirable food value and you 6hauld eat of them." Each time they were cooked in tbe home some were placed on my plate, and now 111 always wil lingly accept a liberal helping. I relish them, and It was not so great a task to learn to like them. Not long ago a gentleman told me . their doctor had prescribed vegetables for their little girl to take the place of the refined foods and nicknacks she -was eating, saying that she needed no medi cine, only proper foods. Out she would not eat them. The doctor said give her nothing else and she soon will be eating the vege tables. It was not long until she had acquired a hearty appetite for them, and Immediately her eeneral health showed a marked improvement. Try this on your children. 'HAXDLIXG LITTLE JOBS THOUGH THEY WERE BIG ONES. Charles II. Markam, president of the Illinois Central rallraod, has been a laborer, section hand, coal shoveler, baggage smasher and station agent. Strangely enough, this presi dent of one of America's premier railroads reached almost the 40 yaar milestone without achieving anything but a minor position; but at last his zest for doing things right, "handling little jobs as' though they were-big ones," Attracted the attention, of his su periors, and he was accorded the opportunity which resulted in his rapid though postponed advance ment. This is how it happened in his own words: i "At 29 my supreme ambition was to get a little station in one of the California valleys where I could have grass and raise chick ens. I was then a station agent it Benson, Ariz., in the dry coun try, and, with my wife, lived over he station waiting-room. We alked about the coveted Califor nit place as another couple might have talked about the presidency of the road and a limousine car. "Finally, tbe day I was made general manager of the Southern Pacific I went to the old Pacific Union club in San Francisco for luncheon. ' There I happened to meet E. F. Gerald, a former chief traveling auditor for the road, and he told me or rather told a mutual friend of ours, while 1 stood listening the secret of what had puzzled me so' long. "Did I ever tell you about the first time I ever saw Markham" he asked our friend, putting his arm around my shoulders. " 'Pratt, the assistant general superintendent, was with me, and I called his attention to the way the sweeping was being done and said I believed that fellow would bear watching. Well, we did watch him. We had him tried out cut after a while on some work in the station office and by and by, as a result of it all, he was ?iveh his first station agency, the we down at Lordsburg.' I don't know," recounts Mr. Markham, "how I did the sweep ing, but I do remember how I felt about it. It was so much bet ter than the job I bad just had shoveling coal all day and so manifestly an approach to the brakeman's work for which I was aiming, that I was proud to be loing it. And that was the es sential thing handling little jobs is though they were big ones because, to me, that was the sort '.hey were." The above, by Herman J. Stich, n his department, "Two Minutes of Optimism," in the Los Ange les Times, will interest many Or egon friends of Mr. Markham. who knew 'hint when he was man ager of the Oregon lines of the Southern Pacific. He, got ac quainted with a great many peo ple in this state, and be did a great deal "of constructive work in Oregon, along many lines, in cluding dtirying and other indus tries on the land, lie was then r - TUESDAY MORNING.

G KEEKS BEARING ARMS Europe today resembles a mag azine stored with surplus explo sives, left over from the World war. How l6 remove and safely u is pose of these explosives,'- be tore the ignition of some percus sion cap blows, everything to niithereens, is the delicate task ahead of European statesmen. One of the most daagerous per cussion caps in tue magazine is the city of Constantinople. And the king of , Greece, partly for personal glory; partly to satisfy Greek ambition, threatens to strike this Turkish cap with his Hellenic hammer. Against any such dangerous coup both Lloyd George and Foln care have resolutely set their faces. They mistrust the mod ern Greeks bearing arms as the noet Horace did the ancient Greeks bearing gifts. The allied powers are by treaty bound to insure the neutrality of the Dardanelles. The Greek troops, should they cross into Asia Minor to oppose the Turkish Na tionalists, will violate this neu trality. To prevent this France and England are firmly united. Their military and naval forces are being lined up to anticipate aiiy advance of the Hellenic army. This joint action is not a proof of any sympathy for the Turk or any particular dislike for the Greeks. It is plainly a 'matter of preserving treaty rights. The Turk may be as "unspeakable" still as Gladstone for political purposes once painted him. The Hellenes may have as heroic an army in Thrace as that of Mith radates at Marathon. Sentiment plays no part in any steps designed today for jnaln tainlng pelce in Europe. Con stantinople is the danger center of the Near East, To allow the Greeks to . start - a ; conflagration tjiere, that might run like wild fire through, the combustible Bal kans and set 'the whole continent ablaze, would destroy all that has been done to preserve peace since the troublesome treaty of Ver sailles. Times are too ticklish for kingly, coups, either In Dres- fir The IE " And tlen or Athens. If It Is necessary to show the Greeks where to get off they wm b shown. , TALE OF THE SUPPRESSED Senatot Heflin is continuing bis attacks upon the "federal 'reserve tank' and its heads, but nobody is paying much attention to the same.
