'i Most of the readers of The Statesman are familiar with the Salem Slogan campaign that has been carried On by this news paper for several years ! ; - ' Seekincto have our people major on the crops and varieties and industries and advantages in which we excel or may excel ; seeking to get our producers above the dead level of .competi tion; following the lines of least resistance. In the years of this Slogan campaign the canneries of the Salem district have come up from comparatively ; small Degin nings to the point where they are using a good deal more than a fourth of all the cans, of the Pacific Northwest that are used for putting up fruit-in this territory; going towards the point when half of all the canning of fruit in Oregon, "Washington and Idaho will be done here. . 1 ' ' I Take the item of gooseberries. The quantity of these berries going into cans here five years ago was negligible, f The. number of cases had risen to 7000 in 1922, and it went to 25,780 oases last year, and will perhaps be twice that number this year ; and at 7 cents a pound paid the growers for the berries; the same price paid last year. There is a similar story as to red and black raspberries; as to filberts' and walnuts; strawberries and dairy and mint; cherries and corn and celery; onions and "poultry and bees; legumes an,d swine and flax: f : : ' The last named now plainly: scheduled for a j development that will bring!to fruition the greatest single industry in Oregon for all time the linen industry, capable now of bringing to us $100,000,000 of new money annually; and even far greater, sums in the course of years. ' - ; r ! The selection of Slogan subjects has been a matter of a good deal of study. This was done so carefully that only one subject-k nas oeen scneamea to oe tiroppea uroccon noi Decause we cannot grow very profitable crops of broccoli some years; but because there are likely to be too many failures on account of freezing weather, in December and January, when the plant is in the curd. ' ! . ( . "Well, a new subject must be selected. i '. ' - ; "What shall it be? One Salem man yesterday suggested calf and lamb and pig clubs. That is a good suggestion.! Our district i lax in this work. It ought to stand out above all other sections of this coast, or this country.' J . , .L'. 4; But other suggestions are invited. "What does the forward looking reader think is the most important industry or interest to be taken up and Sioganed, and boosted, and boomed, and studied and discussed from every possible angle, for the good of the industry or interest, and for the good of the Salem district and of Salem as a solid and growing and prosperous city? -': It is up to the readers! Let's have a discussion of what is our paramount need in development "work, outside of the sub jects already chosen for Slogan discussion, i If you imagine this is not important, you are invited to look over the Slogan subjects, and to compare our Status in all those lines five or six years agoand at the present time; and taking into consideration, too, the prospects for the future, immediate cr near or more or less remote. -x j . : The Slogan editor is not craving for credits j He does not plead for praise.- But he does want results. I : There is a color counselor in southern California who is getting the people down there all het up ! - The lady for the color counselor js a woman holds that tints and shades have an important bearing upon the life and looks of a human being as well as in establishing the harmonies of the home. She has heard the scientist who declares that people wax or wane under certain colors- She' declares that if one. sleeps in a white or pink room in the glare of day one may grow fat where darkness and black walls would encourage a physical shrinkage. The lady expert adds that wrong color combinations in the home are responsible for a lot of domestic friction and divorfce. Many girls fall into the wallflower class because they simply fail to grasp the essen tials of color. They do not understand their own advantages or defects. Put a plain girl into some distinctive or appropriate garb and she may become the belle of the ball. It is the mission of this skirted specialist to spread the gospel of color. She urges that harmony in color is the same as harmony in music and that both are based upon natural and fundamental laws. One strikes notes or "chords in color just as on a piano. Color has as much influence on temperament as sound. There are noises that are harsh, discordant and nerve raoking. There are colors that excite the passions or disturb the peace to like extent. People may suppress or escape from the noises, but they may not be fully aware of the mental dam age done by obnoxious color until their nervous systems are disordered. ! I - ' ' '- ' Here would seem to be a call for a keen eyed color guard a -tasty and sensible specialist who could nip all green and yel low combinations in the bud. Charts which indicate the harmon ious blends of tints and shades are provided, so that some self protection can be provided for all who areTiot color blind. Brunettes should wear soft, clear colors rather than flaming shades. Blondes should wear blues and greens that tone down high coloring, while the pale blonde sliouldWear lighter hues. The specialist says that most restaurants decorated in blUe are failures. It is a color not in accord with the harmonies of gas tronomy and repels the appetite. Possibly the delft blue break fast rooms found in so many of our homes are indirectly respon sible for the wrecking of domestic romances." people. ' Our: people are anything but provincial;, they hare a wide acquaintance and they' are always glad to act as host to any man or woman who has done something worth while in the world. It Is good to live In Salem. , LOOSE TALK When Senator Johnson carried South. Dakota by a hair margin he declared that the .state narrowly escaped being debauched. Of course, it was loose talk and wild talk, and the man big enough to be a candidate for the presidency should never have indulged in it. There seems to be a reaction in this kind of talk, anyhow. Since that statement was made Johnson has lost Illinois, Michigan and Ne braska. There Is a distnet waning of Irresponsible talk. i There has been too much talk S within the last few years. It is time to act now. The situation in the country is not hopeful. We cannot spend our time talking and explaining, or even making charg es. The' democrats have a monop oly of that, anyway. The republi cans can only win with a construc tive policy and a progressive, defi nite line of argument in the cam paign. , The atmosphere is being cleared now and when the cam paign really starts,, we '-will find the republican party swinging into the campaign with definite issues, every one of which will be con structive, and not a single one will need defending." We will advocate but not defend. .THE HAWKS REPORT The Dawes commission has made its report. It ' does not satisfy every party,- but it does satisfy the fair-minded , people of f the world. Secretary Hoover express ed the situation when he stated that the report would revive busi ness in America, it will. Europe will now be stabilized and Europe cannot be stabilized while the rep arations are still unsettled. The reparations settlement .represents deliberate judgment of a commis sion of great financiers. In Ameri ca we can only guess at Germany's ability to pay, and we can only guess at French public sentiment. But we do know when anything will help business and we do know that American business needs helping, and we do know further that stabilizing Europe is stabiliz ing the markets of the world. The war has been over for five and a half years and we are just begin ning to appreciate the absolute necessity of getting down to busi ness on the part, of every country involved in the conflict. A PART HOLIDAY It is good to note that the. busi ness Interests of Salem are in fa vor of a few hours' holiday cm Sat urday of next week when the "Cir cuit Rider" monument is unveiled, That' is an event of much Impor tance in Salem. . The old . circuit riders, the pioneers, the empire builders are to be fittingly honor ed in this monument, and every resident of Salem , rejoices that such is the case. ; It is not only fitting but very proper that Salem - should make the dedication of this monument a gala occasion. : Historically it Is tremendously important, and It will give us a never falling monu ment of inspiration. Men cannot be reminded of the heroic deeds of their ancestors without them selves being enthused and inspired. ENTERTAINING THE TOURISTS cial privileges cannot deal with the people, but they can deal with the bosses. The repeal of 'the primaries is sought by men who know exactly what they want. BLOSSOM DAY The time is short for Blossom day. The blossoms came out with an unusual rush this year and the day had to be advanced in order to have the festivities timely. It is relatedi that last year It was believed that a majority would have been gone by the 20th; hence the day was changed.: Athough on . short notice, it is up to the people of Salem to re spond vigorously and -quickly in their preparations. THE REVIVAL BRINGING IN ATTRACTIONS The Oregon Statesman Is glad to note that Salem people respond to practically every attraction that comes to the city, certainly to the worth while ones. The visit of Mr. Euwer Is the latest in point. He received a wondrf ul 'welcome; an enthusiastic response, .and a sympathetic hearing. He went home feeling that Salem, the capi tal of Oregon, was fully alive to its responsibilities and opportuni ties..; : fr. : v-; V - A capital city is somewhat dif ferent from any other city. It is state headquarters. and people ex pect it 'to know the state and Its Now that the community build ing at the tourist park is assured, we can begin to do something with It. Knowing that we are going to get it, there ought to be entertain ments planned there for the entire summer. ; Salem has a lot of tal ented men and women who would be glad to contribute their services for the entertainment of their guests. The social side should be looked after carefully and those who would entertain can prepare themselves. There are a number of women in this city who could take over the social feature .and provide something worth while for our guests. - j The Oregon Statesman has not editorially referred to the coming revival in Salem, but its news col umns has carried the news from time to time. The Demarest revi val promises to be unusually im portant. Mrs. Demarest comes of evangelistic stock, and she is said to be 'sweet tempered and sympa thetic. Her policy is not to hit people over the head but to show them love and kindness. Mr. Heney has been appointed an investigator ' by the senate, Heney is a trouble maker. Always something is doing around him, but It is not always good for the country. ': JOHNSON, SHOULD QUIT It is now apparent to even Sena tor Johnson that he cannot win the presidential nomination, and to continue in the fight means an embarrassment to himself and to the republican;1 party. It may be a bit humiliating for the time, but he knows he has' to admit it soon er or IateTjjyHflhe sooner he gets it off his hands the better it will be. Senator Johnson has always been republican and there Is no reason to believe that this year he will be anything else. The best thing he can do for himself and for , the, partyJs o. withdraw, now and let Coolidge have a clear field. STABBING THE PRIMARIES Just why powerful political lead ers are concerned in changing the primaries puzzles a good many people; It does not puzzle us, how ever. In the old days when prim aries flourished the bosses, big and 'little, ran the party. There are no bosses now. Let the primaries be repealed and the sin ister - inf luences that 'dominated public life will again assert them selves. The men who want spe- Cap'n Zyb WHO IS IT? This is not the noblest Roman of them all and he is not Grecian Of course, if you think very bard, you will admit that you have seen some one who looks something like him. And if you will put eyes in his eyeless sockets with a pencil maybe yon can' place him. Now, if you were to unfold his arms so that you could see his hands and see that they have on boxing gloves well, I guess I have given it away.

It is a laymna's ap peal to laymen. It presents the capital, $25,000.

It was .written to prove the existence of God and the necessity for such a belief, not only as the foundation of the Christian's faith, but as the foundation of civiliza tion as well; to show the Bible as the inspired word of God and of fer proof of Its divine . origin. It presents Christ as the Son of God and Saviour of the World con ceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, and triumphant over the grave. It deals with the origin of man as given in the Mo saic account of creation and sub mits objections to Darwinism. "In His Image" points out the empti ness of the evolutionary, philoso phy and contrasts it with the in spiring philosophy of Bible Chris tianity, v i v v I NEW CORPORATIONS !
