'-- The slogan and - heavy editor,, speaking brainly entirely,
is out of town today, the first time in months. We are seizing
this opportunity to say a few words which wouldn't be printed
if Mr. Hendricks was in tovrn. . Like all great characters he has
detractors, here at home hut like all such characters he gets
his rewards in-his inner-consciousness 'and never deviates be
cause of. unfavorable winds. He is the most conscientious pub
lisher we have ever seen.- He is also , the hardest worker in
Salem. ' -L' .-'T' ' '
Some "of these times, God grant it may be many years, this
manJ will .leave his work and he will have J the biggest funeral
ever held in Salem People' will feome from all over the state.
They will then realise that one of the outstanding citizens of
Salem has gone. Mr." Hendricks will live ri Salem history as
Cel. W, R Nelson lives in Kansas City history. Both had enemies
in life because both were positive men but both were city build
eta, both-had visions, both dreamed dreams. Kansas City arrived
before Col. Nelson passed, away and it looks now as" if Salem
would arrive in the life time of her great citizen. .
r, For forty years Mr. Heridncks.has guided the destinies of the
Oregon Statesman. It has grown to be a great property and
hii personality is in every nook and eorner. He is essentially
a builder. He hates sham and hypocrisy but he admires cour
age and conscience. As a builder he has few equals. lie vis
ioued Salem as the ideal place for a city when he came here a
ycung man now as he nears the three score mark he sees that
vision enlarging. The greater Salem is almost here. The things
.Mr. Hendricks has boosted are the things thaj. are doing the
werkl Fifty-two times a. years he has his slogan edition. This
lies been going on for five years and in that time the city has
been made over, has itself caught a vision of its destiny and is
plunging ;f orward liketu horse ready to break every rein if
thereby may-get into the race.

SOME SIGHTSEEING TRIPS .WITH THE BIRDS ; . v
"Is this 'Alice Through the Looking Glass,' you ask, ''or The
Cat and the Canary'?" Neither, little ones, it's; Molly, the president
of the SPCA. (Snoppyquopa Pet Canary 'Association.) and "Hope, her
pet eanary. A year or o ago Molly didnt have anypetr so one day
she 'planted a bird seed,, and up grew this fine happy canary. "Molly
wears that cagey little waist to make a home for Hope. She caHls it
her Hope' Chest. She is powdering Birdie's nosey before going out to
dinner Like her famous revolutionary ancestor, Molly Pitcher, she
is. not afraid of powder. J v 'i. -,'.,-""'1 -'-1 -, :
.M0II7 has an umbrella on her nose while Hopey has a powder puff
on hers. This canary has learned to talk like a parrot and , .likes
crackers, too. Once she got fresh and made a wise crack at Molly.
."Talk about sightseeing trips, old gal. you're the funniest sight I've
seen in weeks." .....; ' r ' ":' '
Some Facts About
, The Match Industry
If all the matches used in the
world in one day were placed end
to, 'end they t would reach to . the
moon and .ten thousand miles be
yond. tThink how important these
baby explosive bombs are in the
everyday business of the world.
American matches are usually
made of pinejwood cut in a round
shape. In Europe, they are made
of aspen and ar cut square.
Sheets of aspen wood can be dried
artificially in couple of hours
and made into matches within the.
next hour. Thus three hours may
see a change from an aspen log
to a few hundred or more boxes
of matches. But pine has to be
allowed to st,and for a couple of
years before It. is sufficiently seas
oned' to be made up.
There Is more involved In the
matter of dipping match sticks in
to the fire-producing solution that
makes the head, than one ' might
suppose. Match hfads are really
the product of much chemical re
search. For instance, people like
their matches a cheerful color, so
the chemical has to be dyed a
pleasing blue or red. -' They 'must
be double tip, capable of being
lit on any surface a wall, a
stove your shoe. They must not
leave' a streak or scratch after
them. They must not be noisy
and pop up at the person using
them. .
' ; The matches -must-be made so
they .will not flash up. too soon.
Tbey must have no sharp edges,
but must be smooth and oval so
the beads will not rub against one
another ' in people's pockets and
light on each other. They must
be fairly waterproof and wind
proof, and must . burn without
smoke or odor. ;
NOT YET READY
Judge Johns, former. member of
the Oregon supreme court and now
& member of the supreme 'Court
of the Philippine Islands, Bays that
the. Filipinos are a; long way from
being able to keep care' of them
selves. In the 'cities not over 2
per cent of the people take news
papers, and In, the country less
than one-half of 1; per cent. A
nation that does not read is a na
tion that cannot govern itself. ;
get is to have the schools enlarged
and Increased in their usefulness. -
THE WORM) COURT

" The time has arrived to renew
the agitation for a world court and
President Cooildg9; Is justified in
calling another . conference.. The
time is ripe to. consider the third
step of disarmament. -' The; first
two were to limit the army "and

Kim " The people have" alright to

have 'no right to attempt to dis
credit the primaries: V Even ir it is
true that a majority of the peo
ple do not vote at the primaries it
is also true that they can vote at
any time, and this Very fact keeps
politics, cleaner- and; better! 1 In
the old machine days' government
went by favor, and privileges were
sold; not always for " money,' but
for concessions.? f ; Politics 'are
on a higher level ' now than ever
before and: this discourages the
machine politicians. They- want a

..WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
It is certainly time that this
petty row between Tacoma and
Seattle over ' the mountain that
gives the state its fame, is ended.
We cannot see that it makes mueh
difference what its name Is, but
so long as Tamoca is so determin
ed; not to quit fighting, big sister
Seattle ought to let little sister
Tacoma have what she wants. The
name Rainier . has been accepted
quite generally and is all right,
but ' Tacoma ' refuses to " be com
forted. If j Tacoma can be pla
cated without injuring anyorieelse
why should: Seattle worry? :-

WHY I WROTE "THE
CHANGELINGS.
Ry Lee Wilson Iod!.
"The Changaiings" has been
taken, particularly by -our
radical critics, as an unfair satire
on ;ferBjnism jtnc a belated de
fense of ' the legal status called
marriage. "A Puritan comedy,",
one T-presumably not too ane'ent
reviewer named It. But "The
Changelings" is comedy, not prop
aganda. Therefore its theme has
to do, not with particular institu
tions or movements, but with av
erage human nature and I should
express it something like this:
; Among the mature, at least,
habit, and solicitude tend to be
stronger
Now. If" you are ' radical, this
human tendency will annoy you;
if you are conservative, it will not.
If you are neither, and happen to
be writing a comedy. It may sim
ply interest yu to illustrate this
(or any other) observed trend of
our human average as amusingly
as possible. " -
