TELEPHONES: Business Office, 21 Circulation Department, 6SS ' - Job Department. 68S Society Editor, 101 Entered at the Postofflce In Salem, Oregon, as second class matter "PASS THE TARIFF AND MAKE WAY FOR PUOSPERITY,, Under the above heading the New York Evening Mail, of August 21, published as its leading editorial a very able ar ticle which read in part as follows: To delay the tariff bill until some uncertain date next year would be a policy of cowardice and a confession of incapacity by the Republican majority in Congress. We do not believe the Republican leaders at Washington will tolerate such folly. The pride of the Republican party is that it has always had the courage of it3 convictions and the ability to translate them into. acts. It has never been afraid to do, nor unable capably to de fend what it has done. . Its record is not that of a shirker of responsibilities; now is not the time to begin. The farms and factories of the country want stability; they want a basis on which to work out a return to full capacity prosperity." They do not want this basis furnished them next year or the year after; they want it at once. J The tariff bill now in conference supplies that basis, so far as a tariff can. - . It is not a perfect bill; no tariff legislation, whether free trade or protection, ever has been or ever will be perfect, or even nearly so, while the tariff remains a political issue. 4 The charge is made that the bill favors too greatly Amer ican manufacturers and American farmers. Some of its schedules, as, for example, wool, sugar and dyes, are too high; we believe they will be materially lowered in.the conference committee report. r: ;t But whether lowered or not, it is better for the country to have too much protection than too much free trade. - J.n other words, protection means prosperity; it means putting every man to work in factory or farm, and paying a decent wage, with decent working conditions. 4: free trade, on the other hand, means, and always has meant, transferring.that work to foreign lands. " if refov e' tf we are to have one extreme or the other, it is petter that we give our own country the benefit of the doubt; ixV; : o.--, V-., . past year have been over crowded Witn Americans runninc tK Rumna t onAfil 4-1 a money in extravagances." Europe laughs and pockets this sy'V money.u - . ; - tvt ngIeS3 nnot stop that sort of thing.- V But Congress can stop a national policy that legislates money Into the pockets of Europe, as the Underwood tariff does ; it can prevent European industrial "trusts"-from dom inating the American market, and it can prevent the products" of : cheap labor of Europe from displacing in America the Products of well paid labor in America. . ; That is the purpose of the McCumber-Fordney tariff bill t Republican party may err in top zealous protection, but It has never yet made the mistake of letting Europe be the workshop for America and- America the market place for Whatever mistakes there may be in the proposed tariff, when it is finally adjusted, will be mistakes in favor of Amer ican farmers, American manufacturers and American wage earners. They will not be mistakes in favor of foreign farmers, foreign manufacturers or foreign wage earners. That is the underlying principle of the bill. Would you prefer to have it framed on that basi3 or on the Democratic free trade basis of favoring foreign made products? It is absurd, therefore, to assert that postponement would bring a better bill out of Congress. Naturally, Democratic free traders are eager for delay. They are always ready to postpone a protective tariff as long as possible. For the Republican party, however, there is but one course to pursue get the tariff settled as quickly as possible and clear the nation's way to prosperity L Two Sundays will come together again tomorrow and Labor day. And nobody has yet evolved a plan by which strikes will operate to reduce taxes. Now we will hear a lot about government by injunction. It will have a familiar sound to the old timers,. It is not likely that the sum mer quiet In Oregon politics will last much longer. The faU culti vation of the political field will likely Bee busy times. Outside of the growth of the fruit Industry, the biggest thing that Ja coming to the Salem dis trict is the boom in the poultry industry. Things are looking, better In Russia. Returned tourists report that people with money have no trouble getting along there. Nor in any other place, my dear. The grape growers of southern California are beginning their harvests, and whether the nation al prohibition amendment shall be repealed does not Interest them at all. Los Angeles Times. The Democrats of Missouri are a funny lot. The party which broke precedent by refusing to send Jto Reed to the national convention In 1920 has renomin ated him for the senatorship. If Reed voted himself out of hi party, then the party, voted Itself back to Reed. Secretary Mellon has announced that the government will redeem ftbout half of the Victory bonds, that 'are not due, under the letter of the I law, until next June. That meansj two things that Uncle Sam makes good his promises, and that ltj will be an unusually happy Christmas In a lot of" American homes. HtSBAXDS TO RENT (Los Angelep Times.) The 1 announcement from San Francisco that a prominent soci ety matron of that city la offering to buy or rent the husband of another woman paying the lady a life annuity at the rate of 100 a month for her sacrifice is evi dence that the world is growing more rigid and conscientious in its morals. In the olden days the lady would have stolen the hus band without batting an eye. In lact, husband-stealing waa con sidered one of the pungent dl veoiions of the time. There was just enough tang to it to make it alluring. It might be forbidden by law. but what are laws for but to be broken? The fact that a lady now offers to pay a sub stantial monthly rental for a second-hand and slightly damaged husband shows that the moral per ceptions of the race are growing imer ana purer, t requently when a dame has purchased the bus band of another she has-been in dulgently excused on the ground that she Is a kleptomaniac. But modern diagnosticians recognize no such disease. It belongs to the courts and not to materia medica. It is larceny. It is a crime nad not a fever. But if a hurband is a commodity his pur chase or rental might well become a common and proper transaction. If a woman has a somewhat worn or soiled husband she may not care to have him sent to the dry cleaners to have the shine re moved. She may prefer, to sell him outright to some dame who N not so particular. The San Francisco precedent may, there fore be, accepted ad a hopeful sign. 1 The next thing will be the es tablishment of a market. It Is barely possible that some other lady would be willing to pay a still higher price for the gentle- man in the case. In that event the lawful owner should be per mitted to ask the peak of the mar ket. It is possible that the' day will come when husbands will be quoted In carload lots, but thus far it is purely a retail business FUTURE DATES September 1, 3 and 4 Bonad-np Beptember 3. sad 4 Lekerle Roaad-ap : Lakevtew.

Millar ARCHERY-How to Shoot with the Bow and Arrow By E. E. JONES LTSSIOX XO. 5-IIOW TO SCORE (Professor E. E. Jones Is an ex per archer himself, so skillful and accurate that,' even in this day of high-powered rifles, he hunts rab bits, fish, and larger game with his bow and arrows.. In this series he will tell how others can acquire similar skin as archers.) The real thrill in archery comes in . contests, either with yourself or someone else. As in golf, you keep trying toT break your . own record. . . The target has been described in ' a previous article as being made of straw, four feet in diame ter, and covered with oil cloth marked by five rings or bands. The gold circle In the center is M Inches In diameter, while the red, blue, black, and white rings are each 4.8 Inches - across. In scoring, the different colors have the following values: Gold, 9; red. 7; blue, 6; black, 3 ; . white, 1. .. If an arrow actually cuts the Hue between two rings, the arch er should be given credit tor the higher score. . , ; Six Shots Make "End". When, two or more archers are competinng. three atrOws are shot ' by each, and then three more each. the six constituting an "end." In America most .contests are decid ed by shooting what is called "The American Round." It consists of thirty arrows at sixty yards, thir ty arrows at fifty yards, and thir ty arrows at forty yards. The con testants , face the targets at the respective distances and shoot an "end" as described above; when all "end" as described above; when all have shot, they walk to the target together to get their arrows and make up the score. This process is repeated until the Round is over. - - :': - Young archers Should not begin shooting at these long distances. They will Improve more rapidly by shooting, in the beginning at forty feet, and as they gain skill, move farther away from the tar get. In a few weeks they should be shooting well at forty yards. A good archer, can, score over 200 at forty yards,' from ilO to 150 at fifty yards, and from 80 to 125 at sixty yards'. : Hit a Post-Card. V " -When a boy can hit a post-card practically every time at forty feet he is ready to hunt small game, such as rabbits, squirrels, and par tridges. A little experience . in hunting with a bow and arrow will howany boy. that this man- ner of bringing in the game is a far better kind of sportsmanship than hunting with the rifle and shell. (The End of This Series.) I THE SHORT STORY, JR. , "JUST LIKE HER MOTHER" It looked as though there was only the width of the table be tween Geneva and her father, but really there were miles and miles. Geneva ate in stubborn silence with smoldering eyes, and her father did not bother her. They were at "outs" again. They seemed to be always at cross purposes lately. Geneva felt that her father was stern and strict. He objected to having her "run around." He wanted her to be home reading all the time. She was angry and resentful. After dinner she went sullenly up to her room. Her father looked after her a bit wistfully, but said nothing. She used to bring him his slippers after dinner and they would ait and talk for a while, but didn't do that any more. Geneva wrote some letters. Then she began to feel angry. Wondering if there was any cake left,, she started down the back stairway. Mrs. Slimkin, the house keeer, (was talking, to the cook. Geneva, hearing her name men tioned, stopped deliberately to lis- "No, wonder her father looks so worried," gossiped Mrs. Slimkin. "She's getting so wild, and he's afraid she'll turn out like her mother. Geneva doesn't know, but she was an actress, and not much account. - He' treated her like a queen but she thought he was slow,' so she took some of hU money and left him. He act ed like she was dead, and long ago he found out she really was. A bad business!" Geneva trembled. Here was something she had never heard. To think of any one leaving her father her quiet,- studious, .gen erous father, A hotwave of anger swept over her. Then she flushed. She wasn't going to have people saying, "Just like her mother." Her father was sitting in the half-lit living room, smoking and staring blankly ahead, when Ge neva appeared in the doorway. she started to say in an off-hand manner, "are your ." She choked on "slippers," and then she found "herself in her father's arms, crying and trying to laugh, too. as she still clutched the slip pers. Her father held her very tight. He knew somehow that a certain worry was gone now. ' .

If that be so. there is every indication of a bull mar-, ket. It is not so very long ago that an artist would not be con sidered worth more than f 40 or tlfO a month in any home. Prob ably the wife in this instance has Indicated good judgment in ac cepting the offer. Now that the ice has been broken we look to see quite a boom in the sale or rental of hus bands. The classified columns of the Times may be cluttered up with advertisements offering hus bands for sale or exchange. When a woman offers her trousseau for sale she mifrht throw in the hus band as an incentive to the bar gain. We are looking for some seas onal activities in the line of husband-renting. There are a num ber of nearly new husbands in these parts that should bring the top of the market. GUATEMALA'S ADVENTURE' There is another revolution in Guatemala. It is not surprising. When president, Woodrow Wil son decreed that the Latin-America rf dictators must go: that a republican gotvernmen js we know it must supplant TEem, it already had happened in Mexico. Diax fell before Wilson came in. But he president opposed Estrada Cabrera in Guatemala and . the military dictatorship in Vene zuela. Estrada Cabrera for de cades had made democracy im possible, but order possible, in his little country. He fell, and they have x had disorder ever 3ince. In an interview with a reporter the other day Prof. Thilly of Cor nell university mentioned the pe culiar twist of mind which makes people think that their form of government is equally good for any and all other peoples. He pointed out that Montesquieu's exposition of the differences In governments was as sound today as it ever was, and that even the ancients realized the necessity for different political clothes Just as each race has different doth ones. Guatemala is a lamentable 11 .ustration of all this. Perhaps the governmept of Estrada Cab rera was too extreme a personal dictatorship; but the attempt at representative government as the British and we know it may have been a swing too far in the other iirection. It is certainly appar ent that it does not work. It must be remembered that the Anglo-Saxon was self-governing iong before the formation of the American confederation; It was 10 sudden departure. Estrada Cabrera, who is lan guishing in a dungeon in his be nighted country, was Latin Am erica's most efficient, most cruel and most picaresque living gov ernor. His career and methods were familiar to those of the great historic dictator, Rodrlquer de Francis in Paraguay, whose reign of a century ago so stirred the admiration of Thomas Car lyle. , Latin America of herself wirl work out her governmental prob lems; she always has. While dic tatorships seem to be necessary in some parts of Central America, they are not in others. Costa Rica, until the cuartelazo of a few years ago, had an orderly change of presidents and never had had a revolution. The South American countries of Chile and the Argentine have a type of gov ernment quite different from the Central American; a federal re public in which an aristocracy governs, but not without demo cratic representation such as may be found in constitutional mon- a,rtchies of continental Europe. Brazil, which last of all gave up the monarchy, got along very well until the recent upheaval, which, however, has gotten the rebels nowhere. As for Mexico, under Diaz her government was aristocratic, the clentificos ruling, but not with out certain concessions to popular feeling. The dictatorship became degenerate, Madero arrived and now, after a long series of risings and reactions, the political po has settled into the government BE A DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC The Orecoa State CeUece of Chiropractic Best In the r-orthwevt Enroll any time.
