" i ':' '"'v . That is the very sum and essance of the protectice tariff policy. To work with one's brain and hands, to increase the material riches of the country, to" diversify its industries,' to dig into the soil and cause its products to spring up in greater abundance or of better quality, to invent new machines with which .to bring forth more and. better products, to experi ment with the forces of naturerand discover secrets which have been heretofore hidden from the ken of man,, to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew, before", to delve into the bowels of the earth and to bring forth1 hew mineral riches, toturn those minerals Into new forms for the use of mankind, is to fulfill the destiny marked out by the Almighty as the mission of man upon earth, as the mission of Americans in and for America- ' i ' T Work such as this is man's destiny. The man who follows the plow and sows the seed which he later harvests, the miner who goes down into the earth to bring up its riches, the man who toils in the mill, who guides the working of the loom, is doing his part as well as are men with the genius of Edison or any of the great inventors or any of the great captains of industry. , r '- ' , " ; But men need the opportunity, and incentive to ; work.-- It 'would be idle to plow the ground or sow the seed if no use could be made of the resultant crop. If foreigners could come in and drive our own products from our markets, there would be no incentive to worki " In 'more eloquent words, the de parted statesman stited. the situation "You-cannot induce the employment of human .hands in industry unless you guarantee to every man the peaceful and secure enjoyment of all that he pro- r duces." , ' , - That is the province of the protective tariff. The tariff does not go down into the treasury and bring forth bonuses for accomplishment. It simply protects the worker in his employment. The production is up to him. Protection creates the opportunity, but the individual himself must be responsible for the use which he makes of that opportunityi When the United States refuses to protect its workmen in their right to work and to receive the just recompense for such work, "then the knell of this country's 'prosperity is sounded." .

County' Itoad -Master Jim Cul ver is planning. to. put in a new paving plant at Jefferson, in or der to do the market road work required in the southern end the little piece from Jefferson to Greed's bridge and the stretch from the Looney school house on the Pacific highway towards Sid ney. This. will make five paved roads plants operating this year. It will enable the virtual finish of the five year, progranv.in four years ; at the end ' of the ' present year. There will be some trim ming around the edges needed next year, but the 100 miles of market roads will - be " virtually done when the fall rains ' call "30" on the operations Nlf" 1923. The Statesman of "next Thursday will have a lot to say about paving in Oregon and in the Salem dis trict.' and the resume will be worth reading; and most encour aging. PAVEMENTS OP PARIS They allow a certain amount of speeding in Paris. On some of the downtown boulevards a pace of thirty or thirty-five miles an hour is permitted and accidents are much less frequent than ' in this country. - Now the Parisians are thinking of disciplining or regulating the pedestrians. They have classified "Jay-walking" ac cording to the American stand ard and those Who journey on foot are to be taught how to do It with safety andv dispatch. It is asserted that a common under standing of the right's of others would ease all traffic problems a lot. r in in am mmm 11 DD BD OC DQQ1 JOBS VOIl LAME DUCKS - There will be a couple pf jobs on the new joint commission for the regulation and control of the halibut fisheries of the North Pa- cific. Looking after c our fish should be a fine, job for a lame duck. Any statesman who knows a halibut, from a handsaw would do well to get In touch with Presi dent Harding. - The Canadian gov ernment will also designate a coupleiof commissioners for an International situation exists and it is well, that the fishermen of both countries bait their hooks in unison. The need of a group of halibut1 commissioners has been felt by the nation for a long time and now we are to - have them. Possibly they may arrange to sup ply the fishermen with such bait as they may require. BITS FOR DREAKF AST St. Patrick's day. St. Patrick was great because he was good.
