THIS IS THE REAL
, The pear industry in the Salem district is not going to be
over done soon. Probabl it never will be over done
' And you will perhaps ask why. v '
Because the (natural conditions here afe ideal for producing
pears, and pears of quality, and because good pear land is
abundant and cheap here-the natural conditions are ideal
above any other known section, and pear land is cheaper here
, than in any other pear country . ' . .
y Arid industries will finally follow the lines of least resist
ance; they will flourish where all the conditions are best for
them. ; t . ! . v '
The Statesman has for five years and longer been preach
ing the gospel of pears; more pears, for this district ; and
: especially more Bosc, Bartlett and Clairgeau pears.
Kenneth C. Miller of -Sheridin, a successful pear grower
and a high authority on the industry, recommends these three
' " uu. ir "fi
rroi. u. i. Lewis, now managing eauor oi me American
Fruit Grower Magazine, one of
who is the author of a book for school use on pears, said three
years ago that he had never seen good Oregon pears sell at
low prices, arid he never expected to, in his life time
' And he recommended our growers jumping into pears--Ang
growing the Bosc, the Bartlett and the Clairgeau;
planting, them : 25 to 30 feet 'apart ; putting two rows of Bart
letts, two of Bote and two of Clairgeau . .
; .i ", For while' he thought the Bartletts were self fertile, and
also" the Bosc and the Clairgeau, in this soil and climate; still
there was safety in getting all to! pollenue by setting as indi
.cated ! ' . ' '.':( ii
;And he said all three excel here; all three bear .early; bear
. at five years;, . . ; 1 r j ,": j - -
,x ;IIis advice was to .use Japanese roots, grafted to Surprise
then1 the Tariety you want. This is ideal. But by all Weans
the 'use of Japanese roots; they are blight proof, cold resistant
and disease proof. Surprise worked on the Japanese roots, and
then grafted to. Bosc, Bartlett or, Clairgeau is the recommenda
tion orFrof.lw for saie j '
And Prof. Lewis often said, while himself a resident and
pear grower here,. that Oregon ought to be growing ten times
the pears she was producing. L ' v
- There has been a- note of warning concerning a possible
over,' production of pears ; but a i reading of the interview in
The Statesman of this morning j with Marion County Fruit
Inspector; Van Trump will serve to dispel any such fear; that
is, with respect IcUhe Salem distct-f ,t .:r! " " V,

the nation's best pear experts,
more bath tubs in the ' homes;
bat that takes us away from our
subject. .
With. present wages a few of
the thrifty laboring people can
own automobiles now, but the ma
jority. of .them are owned because
of prohibition... Mr. Gompers li
beled his membership when he de
manded that they have light wine
and beer. He insulted their In
telligencer when he pronounced ln
favor of the saloon Interests rath
er than the comforts of the home
and conven'ence of an automobile.
We take it as an indisputable fact
that even with the wages as high
as they are, the average man
could not patronize the saloon for
light wine and beer and own an
automobile - for the comfort of
himself and family.
The resolve all of us should
have for this year is to have more
prohibition. ,'
STORIES AtVD RUMORS
Most of the stories and rumors
that embarrass people come from
the opposition, and sadly enough.
are repeated by friends. Friends
hardly ever originate, they just
repeat. The average man starts
out -with thin akin, but if he
amounts to anything, he gets that
skin so perforated, with criticism
that he becomes as tough as a
rhinoceros. The more he amounts
to, the tougher he becomes.
Really, it Is a shame how we
do ' malign those who . disagree
with us. If a man agrees with
us, he is a patriot, if he disagrees,
he is a demagogue.' 1
TRE RECEPTION
j A large number of people ac
cepted the Invitation to visit the
YMCA rooms : New Year's day.
Of course, all were depressed with
the rickety surroundings, but all
were impressed with the character
of the work being done there. It
la apparent that there must be
something done, and tt la on the
hearts of the closest friends of
the Institution to have a new
building. It all revolves itself
down to a Very practical question:
Is the YMCA reaching all the peo
ple it should reach, all the people
it needs to reach? It so, it should
not be developed any further. On
the contrary, if the YMCA is not
reaching all it should reach, if
there are boys and young men
who could be helped by this or
ganization, then the organization
should be extended The Oregon
statesman does -not propose to
discuss thisr question. More pro
perly they I will discuss them
selves, aa a matter of fact, and
decide themselves much more elo
quently than we can write.
ALIEN SELECTION
Secretary Davis hes prepared an
Immigration bill which has the
ear marks and is in line "with
what American policy ought to
be. His plan is for selective im
migration The presentplan of
per cent means that each nation
is entitled to its quota. AH kinds
can come under that designation.
If we could have selective immi
gration, we could get only those
who come here for the purpose of
making homes and becoming a
part of our industrial life. The
present law is faulty.
NO MATTER
The republfoall Btate chairman
relterates flls f ln a prHri-
mary convention, but a careful
reading of his latest article indi
cates how definitely he avoided
any reference to the one proposed
for Lincoln's birthday. What was
done to that proposal was a pre
caution. The republicans are not
going to hand over the nominat
ing power to the politicians, and
it did not take long to get this
word spread abroad. The primary
has come in response to a real de
mand, and it will last until some
thing better is devised.
A WROXO POLICY
France is not paying even the
interest on Its public debt, and
yet France is loaning money lib
erally to the entente countries it
holds as satellites. France is em
boldened because it believes it
wore Germany out on the Ruhr,
but it was not much of a feat to
wear out a country so tired as
Germany was. France must get
down to business and make settle
ment of its debts. It cannot run
forever on borrowed money.
TAXING SECURITIES
With all our talk of paying our
Just share of taxes and reaching
the rich,' we are leaving the rich
the most profitable investments
tax free securities. Poor people
cannot afford to own these and
rich people can. If we are going
to get a tax that hits everybody,
re must stop these tax free se
curities ' and devise something
the.
i
A GOOD SELECTION
The many words of praise on
avery side directed to the appoint
ment of Judge O. B. Coshow, in
J cates that the supreme court
will continue Its high standards.
Judge Coshow is a man of parts
and will maintain the dignity and
Intelligence of the court.
A GOOD EDITION
The Roseburg News Review has
a iorty page special edition, which
is a plum dandy.
It is hardly news that no ar
rests were made In Salem New
Year's day. Drunkenness is al
most a lost art here..

THE REASON MADGEE WAS
ASTONISHED BY ROBERT
SAVARIN.
I do not think Robert Savarin
saw me at all. For a second he
stood still, staring at Lillian and
COI. Travers in the officer's! car.
then he descended the steps and
walked to the' gate with a sw(tt.
panther-like step that I never biad
seen in his gait. : i
"Lillian!" f
But the one word came from
his irps, and that a hoarse call. I 1
saw Lillian raise her head as she
heard it. turn and look at the .man
who loved her go devotedly, but
she had no time
to answer If she
wished to do so for at that in
stant the engine responded to the
officer's touch add the car spVang
forward. Lillian! waved her hand
to the artist striding toward the
gate, a friendly commonplace -au
revoir, and then
down the rOad.
the car was far
rwith Robert Sa
varin staring after it. . :
I did not like (he look upon his
face. Vaguely itj brought back to
me the thought of those years be
fore Lillian had tome into his $fe
for the second inie, the years
when his brain was . clouded. ". I
wondered, not for the first time,
upon how firm a foundation his
restored, sanity Tested, whether
eome great shockf or sorrow njight
not push him bacTt again into' that
awful mental darkness.
"Who Was That "Man " I "
Rising impulsively, I went
Bwiftly down the path toward. him.
I felt instinctively that the quick
est 1 panacea for : the absurd , rag
ing jealously evidently consuming
him was the truth. He evidently
did no hear me coming, ami the
started violently at my touch Uon
his arm, as if he were a thorough
bred racer quivering under ': a
whip.
"Madge!" he ejaculated; ; as
though he had not seen me for
days. Then he 1 grasped my arm
savagely.
"Who was that man?" he de--
manded. ? .
I did not wince, though hU fin
gers were pressing with . uncon
scious cruelty into the flesh o,f iny
arm. ' "
"Col! Traver3' I returned, j'of

what, happened last night, or do

I know nothing," he said dully.
but I saw that my words had eased
the awful tension to which his
nerves had been keyed, although
ha was still too much under its
influence Xi realize exactly what I
was trying to tell him.
; "Well, come and sit down and
I'll tell you about it,". I said with

Another method of Bweetecing
coffee is to place several of the
rock-hard Arabian wild dates in
the coffee, where they will melt
and sweoter. it beautifully. These
rock-hard dates are not sticky, but
phatically. "But you must know
the position she holds in govern

"The secret, diplomatic work?"
he responded. 'Yes, but"
I looked around carefully for
possible listeners and then lowered
my voice discreetly. ,
. "Last night, a state trooper was
shot while in the reservoir
grounds" I said. "As it happen

Dicky, Mr, Cosgrove arid the boys

and I showed that officer there
and to Col. Traversl Lillian's
badge which she had lent me for
just such an emergency. There is
a government end to the thing it
seems, and Col. Travers Eaid it
was imperative that he see Lillian
at the first moment possible. So
I named half after 8 this morning.
He' arrived promptly, and Lillian
herself suggested that they rid a as
they talked, so that there would
be no possible danger of eaves
droppers. They should be back in
a very few minutes."
- A brick-red flush -j-epinced his
pallor.-and I was glad to see that
he was as thoroughly ashamed of
himself as a man could well be
for his asinine exhibition of jeal
ously. But, man-like, he took
refuge in another grievance in
stead of acknowledging his error.
"I do not like this work for Lil
lian." he said a bit sullenly., "or
indeed, anywork. She is not fit I
for anything but rest. 1 If ever I
have any authority over her,
shall stop this nonsense."
