To bring the front progressive leader3 or progressive aims and issues under old leaders; or both. X Nicholas Murray Butler, Frank Munsey and others are now declaring that there is no difference whatever between the members of the old gtrard in the Republican and Demo cratic parties; and they are saying that for their own good and the good of the country the two big parties should form ah alliance That they have to fight the radicals in their own partie3 VU the time, and they might; as well do it together. There is something In this; but there is not enough in ' u io Dring wie wea to xruiuon. -'". The Republican party will live, and so will the Demo cratic party; and there will be conservative men as well as radicals in both the old parties Just as there would be extreme radicals and men less radical in a party that would oppose the new party made out of the two old parties, if such an idea could be consummated, of the party, but also of the country, and of the world for the service of which the United States was set apart as a nation. Ne) one has moved to make it unanimous. A motion of that kind is in order. Stanley Baldwin, the new Brit ish chancellor of the exchequer, says it is the first duty of that na tion to pay the United States the money It owes. Tnat sound3 good. The Statesman of next Thurs day will have a symposium on the strawberry industry of the Salem district. It is a big industry here, and may be made much bigger and more profitable by the use of better methods, including irri gation in seasons when it is needed and this will include nearly every growing season. will begin in November and the freight equipment will follow rapidly. In addition to the equipment above enumerated, they recently purchased 14 Pteel passenger coaches and chair cars. "To further show how my lines are looking ahead," said Mr. For rest, "with the view of improvins our facilities so as to be in posi tion to give the public better ervlce, our double track between St. Lrfmis ana Kacuic u muesi and between Kansas City anl Paola (42 miles) will be com pleted at an early date. We have recently completed two sections of double tracks, Globe to Monett. Mo., (4 miles) and Sleeper to Lebanon (S miles)." The flax industry can be made to pay a large part of the run ning expenses of the penitentiary. Perhaps the whole cost, in time. Nothing else gives any such promise. Besides, it can be em ployed to help develop the flax industry on the outside of those walls into one that will bring in millions of dollars annually. The flax industry at that institution must be preserved and extended; at least to the spinning of twine. Perhaps further. In time. This can all be done without taking a dollar from the pockets of tax payers. It can be made to devel op itself from within itself, while yielding a part of the support of the men, 150 of whom are now idle. keeping with the .ethics of niod-duce the fire insurance rates ! ik:.

They want things done. They are not satisfied with the status quo. They desire something be-, - yond onere negation; and reactionary tendencies please them not at? all. ; They like to be progressive and to be known as J' progressives. There are millions of people in the United ; " States,1 too, who believe this country should have joined the League of Nations without reservations, or with one set or another of the proposed reservations. They believe this coun 1 tryneglected ;not only its duty but its opportunity in ref us- ing to become a part of this international body iot steadying and regulating a war torn world. ; ) j These people : will admit that President.

But they believe thi3 was riot enough; that the aloof nesS7UHgelVand y into wlxich this country has been forced,, in the eyes of Other pt0pks,vls unfortunate and unworthy of our great heritage. ' Thii, sentiment wiir not down.. It will persist. - It is . growing. - ;:Th Republican party must i take account of it, l eand direct its policies along lines to meet it if the Republi can party t is to be an easy victor in the election of 1924. c Great accomplishments are already to the credit of the Republican administration at Washington; not the least of which is the best tariff law. in the history of this country. 'The enactment oi a suitable ship subsidy law wm be another ; if this shall be accomplished. . , i But there will have to be still greater heed paid to the ? progressive1 spirit of the American people, so many of them not satisfied with either past performances or present promr ises and professions, if the Republican party is to avoid dan ger of defeat two years hence y ; Provided the Democratic party can find a leader and formulate issues more satisfying to the progressives of this country. ' . V There is time to take stock; and the race of the present ;i administration is not yet, half run. But there must be a tak ' ' ing of stock, and a shaping oi policies, for the good not only ST. IiOTJlS-SAN FRAXCISCQ RAILWAY PLACES LARGE CONTRACT FOR NEW EQUUIPIEXT. That the management of the St. Louis-Qan Francisco railway. commonly and ' commercially known as the Frisco Lines, has abounding faith in the future of the territory these, lines serve, and that they are looking forward to an era of prosperity which must soon and inevitably follow, upon the termination of the pres ent period of industrial nnrest. Is evidenced in a statement of Mr. It is set forth in dispatches that the new state superintendent of schools in Kansas who is a woman, white and unmarried is also a Puritan. She has estab lished regulations to which all schools and teachers must con form. One rule is that no teacher in a Kansas school may use to bacco in any form. This applies to men as well as women and it goes at all times. The gymnasium instructor may not even indulge in a cigarette in the privacy of his cyclone cellar. Furthermore, it given out that teachers must not dance, nor may they permit dancing to be enjoyed in any schoolropm. Teachers must dress with decorum and modesty avoiding extreme skirts and com plexion aid?. They must be shin ing models of innocent behavior. Recently some of the neigh bors had a social in the school at the seat of Garfield county. There was a three-piece orchestra on hand fftid during the evening the waltz and the Virginia reel were indulged. The teacher her self stepped out in a polka. This scandalous matter carme to the attention of the state su perintendent and the erring teach er was ordered , dismissed from the schools and her certificate cancelled. She was charged with a double crime. Not only did she Chas. A. Forrest, general agent, Pacific Coast, for these lines with dance herself but she permitted a fore the Woman's Missionary so ciety at Baltimore, "They are peddled like potatoes or apples' the briskest' demand being for fe male babies to be trained for ' sing-song girls" in dance halls and all that this implies. She as one individual wouldn't end the practice, but she could at least forestall the "sing-song" buyers and drive a spike into their immoral traffic. So she opened in China an embroidery industry and when the women en gaged in it have accumulated sufficient funds from their earn ings they purchase these babies themselves, educate them in the Foreign Missionary college and teach them to be self-supporting. There is only one objection to this remedy. By increasing com petition in the Chinese baby mar ket it may raise prices and so spread the trade by making it more alluring. Yet it is bard for western peo ple to deal with eastern prob lems. The disciples, of Confuchu are so long .on philosopy , and learning and so short on the hu manities, while we, as Christians, are inclined to reverse this order. Perhaps a little less ancestor and a little more children worship would improve the morals of modern China. S S A good deal has been said, first and last, about the poor farming and gardening land belonging to the state industrial school for boys, and about the rocky strip that was selected for the proposed new buildings there tbatJ were planned and not constructed. Now, if you happen to be driving out that way, note the splendid patch of kale on that land on the very land that was supposed to be so rocky and unfit for any thing. There are a few fields of kale in the whole valley; and this is, a great country for kale. It is not the aim of this paragraph, to say the industrial school land is the best in this section. But nearly every acre of it is capable of raising some good crop. And some of it is hard to beat, even in this rich Willamette valley. S Briefly, big profits can be made in the penitentiary flax plant, manufacturing fiber and tow. even at present low prices, and after paying for the keep of the men, and a wage of 2o cents a day to each man; and after pay ing the farmers well for their flax. Bigger money can be made In spinning the fiber. There are 150 idle men there. The flax industry can be made to pay most if not all the cost of running i institution. What is the wer? ' "'"-7 -t .

At last her house was spotless, her silver was all shining, and her tired and ach ing feet were comfortably incased in her old felt slippers.

Belle had been so proud of her mother Clara was glad that Belle could not see hers now. But what could she do? She couldn't say anything. Mother was a dear, in spite of her old fashioned ways. She wouldn't hurt her feelings for anything. Sometimes, though, it seemed like she couldn't stand it to have her mother so old and dowdy. She stole out of the room and up Btalrs, where, burying her head In the pillow, she cried and cried because her mother was not like Belle's. At last she thought of the Lat in which she must studv before bedtime so she got up and washed It would not do to let her mother see sign of tears there.
