Society Editor, 101 Entered at the Poatofflce in Salem, Oregon, as second class matter i SALEM UNION LABOR SANE The resolution originating in Omaha for a vote of all in ternational labor unions in the United States on a general strike came up before the Salem Labor Council, and it was tabled 1 Be it said to the credit of tinion labor in Salem. ..Theiprinciple of the general strike is not American; it is European, and it is wrong. It is revolutionary and de- structive of peace and order. - There is no condition in this ' country to ju3tifysuch a- movement; indeed, ndne can be i imagined. . ' " f Any kind of a sympathetic strike now, general or other- wise, would be construed as an endorsement of the action of , the striking railroad shopmen who struck against the deci ! slon of the Railroad Labor Board 1 . : And they, were wrong in principle ! . For they struck against what amounted to an arbitrated ' . decision; a decision of a body oh which they are represented. ' That would be enough to decide that they followed a wrong v principle. 'But they also virtually struck against the United States government, for , the Railroad Labor Board operates ; f under a Jaw of Congress; enacted for the benefit of all par ties, the' railroads, the laborers and the public; and to restrain , the linjust or unlawful acta of either oi,the former.- ?J i Anther concrete reason proving that the shopmen were i wrong in, striking is the fact that they are willing to go back at the wages fixed by the. arbitration; but demanding all their priority 'rights, which they forfeited by f quitting their jobs.., They, are not entitled to these; they are entitled only to a guarantee of not being discriminated against; and Pres- - ident Harding' wa3' willing that they should have even more - than this, and bo are some of the railroad managers.; The shopmen should have remained on their jobs, and ap pealed to the Railroad Labor Board. ' If they had rights that were not granted, or were overlooked, they would havebeen '; respected. Vv.-,V-".';?V;. "'v ' , ' ' . ".; The conditions in the United States are such now as to promise, greater harmony than! ever before between capital ; and labor, if the radicals can be restrained; il the sober judg. ment,of the great body of labor may prevail. It is no time- to listen to the advice of the radicals. In fact, there i3 never a time to listen to such ad vice. - FACS ABOUT ADVERTISING I t 9 A reliable, in the eyes of all their clientele, readers and adver tisers. ; Tests that have been made show the value of advertising in the daily newspapers It is, for most campaigns, the most valuable of all advertising. .- There is no denying the fact that Salem is the pear city olthe coast now.

The suggestion from Omaha for a tote of all international labor unions of the United States on a general strike will no doubt turn out to be a pipe dream. This is the United States, and the mem bers of ; the labor unions in this country have not lost their heads.

A GOOD MOVE BY MEXICO Batten's Wedge tells the facts about advertising, and tells it well: if 11. f! it 'Advertising does with ease the' thing that the poor salesman finds the greatest difficulty in doinr creating and maintaining a faith in the quality and , value of the thing to be sold. ' "Advertising is no substitute for a good product. It is no substitute for good salesmen. Properly used, ' -. advertising is not a substitute at all. ' ; ' . "But in the matter of-cost, money put into good - advertising instead of into poor salesmen is money p more profitably employed "The ideal combination is good product, good sales men, good advertising," . . -r . . ; - ., i i. f ' 'Good advertising, yes, "and placed in newspaper always Mexico, under the Obregon ad minCsfrajaoSki' recovering from the. set-back she received In her four bad ycirs of civil strife and confusion. -In many differ FUTURE DATES Aortit 26.

Mexico is again on the up grade. .. The announcement of her lat ent farm colonization project, which in the near future aims at placing 100,000 Italian agricul turists on the soil of northern Mexico, is the latest evidence of the new wide-awake spirit ani mating our sister republic south of the Rio Grande. .In too many countries immigra tion has been a hit-and-miss af fair. For a long period even in the United States there has been no system in the a'dmlssion of foreigners to the privileges of American citizenship. No pains was taken to select the best stock, to direct the-activities of the new comers or to locate them, where their work would be of thelmost advantage to themselves and their adopted Country. ; - -. . It has remained lor .Mexico to apply for the first time the scien tific principle of natural selection to the populating of her rich lands, so as to insure the great est good to the greatest number. The government bases' lt policy on the theory that futnre Mexican citizens should spring from a stock akin to the best, socially and economically, in her present citi zenship. The Spaniard, being un popular with the natives, though closely related, is not considered desirable.; Next nearest of kin is the Ital ian. But investigators for the Mexican government have not been content with so general a classification. They have discov ered a wide difference in traits and propensities between the Si cilians and southern Italians and the hardy and industrious race that inhabits the regions of the north. So . the colonization of Mexican lands is to be confined to larmerg from northern Italy. Not -only are these racially and socially best fitted td assimilate with the purer creole strain as distinct from the mixed Indian breeds in northern Mexico but they have for generations inhabit ed a. land where climatic con ditions .are similar and they have been engaged in the kind of agri culture -peculiarly fitted Jo ren der them good colonists. The Mexican government shas made a good move in the right di rection it has introduced a new science of immigration from which that republic without doubt will reap Immense benefits. It is also determined in, the future to keep out Africans and orientals, and breed for a pure Latin strain. Ethnologists have pointed out that the blonde races ot the cool north inevitably deteriorate . in tropical and desert heat and that the Latin and creole peoples are in an impossible element when gemroot.

Swim ming was the one thing she could do well, and she swam almost as easily as she breathed. In other sports, because she was so very big, she felt awkward. In the water she was at home. She spent so-much time in her bath ing suit that her skin was flaming red. Even her brilliant golden hair had begun to have a reddish tinge. ' On land she was shy. She nev er mixed with the other boys and girls who were always bobbing about in the water. Once sh9 had overheard a slender, dark haired, gipsy-like girl speak ot her as that "sea cow." Well. If she were a sea cow she wouldn't stick around the shore and bother them, anyway, she decided. So she swam by herself and al ways kept pretty far out. When she was around the rest, she knew, they were making f nn of her behind her back and she was too sensitive v to stand or .that. She ' missed - the companionship, however, ot girls of her own age, and looked at them wistfully as they ' shrieked : and played about the beach. ' - None of them could swim as well as she could, but she knew that they had more fun in the water than she did So to console herself because she could at have them for friends, she swam hard er than ever. She got in the habit of timing herself in distance swimming, and noticed with a thrill of pride, that she was mak ing records rwhlcb would show up well in any swimmingcoptcst. Summer began to. draw to a close. It would be only a little while until time to go home. She could swim a lot in the school pool, but that was nothing like this lovely water. She would be" corry to go. Of course she would have had a! better time., if She had been swimming un der water for some distance. She came up suddenly and realized that she was behind two girls of the i regular "beach bunch." "Whew! I'm tired!" said one "I'm getting better and better. though. Pretty soon 111 be ai- most in the class of that Hilda Oleson. Isn't she a fish in the water?" . "Stuck up thing!" sniffed the other, "AU summer we've been just dying to get acquainted with her, thinking maybe we'd learn something! from her. -.... And we thought her a nice sort at first. too. But she's as cold as an ice berg. : She's snch . a good swim mer she can't be bothered play' ing around with us. . You never see her la near shore at all." transplanted to the frigid regions of the north. in . this respect-civilization has been as careless in the migration of human beings as it has been careful in the transplanting of botanical products. The Nordic and the Mediterranean have bee a shifted north and south, chiefly in accordance with the dividend needs of steamship companies and with little regard for the laws of natural selection. Yet no one would dream of trying to grow eucalyptus tree. in North Dakota or to acclimatize reindeer in the everglades o Florida. Xo more important problem faces tho world today than the swarming of the human race from the overcrowded to the underpop ulated regions of the earth. So cially, climatically, ethnologically, all these movements must be reg ulated in accordance with the laws of science and nature. Nothing Is more important for the general betterment of physique and morals. THE GERMAN PROHIBITION MOVEMENT The Statesman of a few days ago made very brief rererence to the remarkable (for Germany) movement of the Germans for complete national prohibition. In this connection, the following edi torial from the Springfield Re publican is interesting: A straw vote in a precinct of the German city Bielefeld con ducted as part of a nation wide drive, yielded the result of 12,625 votes for complete prohibition and but 416 opposed, out of a total of 14,069 perrons entitled to vote. So extraordinary a majority for prohibition in a country where beer is as much a matter of course as coffee, must of course have some special explanation. Whether it is purely local is to be determined by further tests of the same sort, but in any case It is to be noted that prohibition is being urged as an emergency measure for solving the stagger ing economic problems with which Germany is confronted. In their literature on which the vote at Bielfeld was based, the advocates of prohibition, urged that Germany waa wasting $3, '00,000,000 gold marks annually on drink and that this sum would be sufficient to shake off the yoke of the reparations burden and all its bitter accompanying ef fects; "Germany's credit abraod would rise, instantly If, like Am erica, she had the moral strength to decide for absolute abstemious ness." This, of course, requires some qualification. Any such promise Implies that the burden jf reparations will be fixed, with no sliding scale by which what ever rewards abstinence might 'jring would simply be appropri ated byr Germany's creditors. It assumes stability also, for prohi bition by itself has not helped the credit of Russia. Yet the elimination of this and other costly luxuries does of fer a way out of the economic morass into which Germany and other European countries have fallen, provided judicious politi cal policies prevail. Just there might lie a serious difficulty, even if all Germany should show as much readiness for the sacri fice as this precinct of one Ger man city. Would not the French $eople be, terrified by the spirit of grim determination which to overwhelming a vote for prohi bition would Indicate? The .fric tion between the two countries bas been due largely to the great er energy and enterprise In manu facture and commerce shown by Germany since 1870. A vote for prohibition would mean a formi dable intensification of this na tional will; It would make the Germans the Spartans of Europe, and in France such a measure might create a panic. In that event, France would better go dry than crazy. not hold speech with or recognize a Methodist plasterer or, an Epis copalian banker. In a modern in dustrial plant there is no room for caste. A man at one end of a lathe simply has to come into contact with the man at the other. It is the introduction and contem plation of this factory program that i3 making the modern Hindu more democratic. Some of them are forgetting their caste - and caste has been the one inviolate rule of their life. It would be a simpler idea for a modest maid to suddenly take a dozen hus bands than for the disciples of r.uddha to shake hands outside of their caste. MOKE HAIL CjlAM ARRIVE TO SERVE THE WEST Moving in two special trains, twelve new "2-10-2" type locomo t!ves, valued at nearly a mfllion dollars and consigned to the Sou thern Pacific company for use on its Pacific system lines, have just reached the Pacific coast via El Paso, Texas. These huge engines, the second consignment of an order of 50 placed by the Southern Pacific ct-mpany with the Baldwin Loco motive Works, are to be put into service on the Southern Pacific lines across the Tehachapl and Sirkiyou- mountains. They are equipped with the latest fuel con servation and auxiliary power de vices. Evidence of the Southern Pa cific company's faith in the Pa cific coast is shown by the fact that the order for these locomo tives was placed with the manu facturers In October, 1921, at a time when business conditjons were unstable and the future lefs promising. MUSIC AND INDUSTRY Among other things, William Jennings Bryan says that the na tion sorely needs more music in industry. He doesn't mean that every foundry should have a Jazz band or that the phonograph should be kept grinding in the cotton mill. It may be imagined' that what he means would be to have a distinguished gentleman from Nebraska show up and play the harmonica whenever the whis tle blew. But the big idea is to have concert of action in indus try harmony on both sides of the fence. . Capital and labor should be playing the same tune. Instead- of that they are apt to be at "discord. It os hard to call it a concert under snch circumstan ces. It might help to have a biass band in every factory, but it takes more than that to make industrial harmony. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST !
