FOR A MEMORIAL AND A PAGEANT
1 At lTemet, California, near the edge, .of the desert, thirty
jnfles southeast of San Bernardino, there was recently held the
Pageant of Ramona M? 1
Given in a bowlr of the hills, a natural ampitheater where
the voioes of the players could be heard as easily as in any
temple build ed by the hand of man.! There in the green bowl
of the. shining hills the people of Ileraet enacted the beautiful
story of Ramona. Not far away were many of the actual spots
in which Helen Hunt had laid the scenes of her great story. ;
It was something like the setting for the play, ','The Bridge
of the Gods,' given at Astoria in 1905. 1 j!
California makes the most of her opportunities in this field.
The Mission Play at San Gabriel, nine miles out bf Los Angeles,
is a ease in point. The wide world is now pouring a stream of
cheeks into the hands of John Steven McGroaftyj the author of
that play and the, founder of the pageant and the presentation
of it, in order that; magnificent buildings, already started for
the splendid housing-of it, may be brought in the fullness of
time to completion.! v !: J I i. . :
In many ways, California capitalizes her opportunities to
draw world attention to her historic places; makes memorials
and puts on plays and pageants and appeals in other ways to
"local sentiment and pride and patriotism, and by the same sign
makes her name known'in every nook and corner of the whole
earth :: ' - . r ; M . ' '- ' . 'Ml': "'-
And keeps her stream of tourists perennial and swelling
with the passing years. j ," . M , . .
Oregon has been slow in this respect; sluggish; even sloth
ful; without vision. Her people, travel far to see the displays
made in California and in far countries j I . ?
And they overlook the "Acres of Diamonds' in their own
fields ' ; . , r ! '',
j And Salem is the greatest of offenders in theTPacIfic-'Nortli-west
in this respeot. . . r ; ' i
We should 'have here the Oberammergau of the 'Oreogn
Country.") ' ' " .t. I- ;
nere were made the beginnings of Christian! civilization in
the region (reaching from the summits of the Rockies to the
Pacific ocean and stretching from the fastnesses of the frozen
north to below the California line 'l,:' ,
1 There is standing in Salem no the first dwelling for white
people erected in this city; built by Jason Lee and his follow
ers. We have here the institution .of higher learning that was
the first of its kind to be opened in the "Oregon Country,"
Willamette university. - ; 4 - f ' i 1 ,
: Here is a setting,-here are ihemes, for an annual pageant
and, a memorial that would draw the attention of the world to
Salem ; that would bring pilgrimages for all time from near and
far countries. -: : .' . ; j .
. Taking the mere money value, which ought to be 'the last
value to be considered, our people are neglecting a great oppor
tunity. They could afford to assess themselves a large annual
sum to bring about this Oberammergau vision of the Oregon
Country! ' " :-. ' ' I' V :
But that is not the way such -things are brought to frutition
One obscure newspaper writer, John Steven McGroarty, had the
vision for the California Mission Play, at San Gabriel. He put
the vision into words, transformed the words into action, and
the entire earth has taken note and is hastening ;"to make the
dream come true, in a liner and greaterlform than was in the
mind of the humble dreamer in his first glimpses of his vision.
Wanted, in Salem, a John Steven McGroarty. And he does
not need to be a man of means. But he must have a vision, arid
hold to the vision; hold high the pieture of what may be done.
And he must persist. He may be a worker, as McGroarty is
istill a worker, atra weekly wage, on the Los Angeles Times,
liut he must hold to his vision. I . . '
Our McGroarty may be a woman. - We have many women
here who would be capable. I 1 j
But our1 McGroarty must be unselfish absolutely; as the
founder of the California Miision Play is. unself isfi. ne asks
nothing for himself; but he asks everything for his state.
Where is our McGroarty J He probably will be one of our
busiest workers. Luther Burbank. spends more hours with his
nose to the grindstone, in contact with the fruitful soil, than
any farmer in Oregon outside of Labish Meadows. Still, in
the watches of the night, he finds time to write books and
articles that would fill other books, telling the world of his
discoveries, for the world's good. M .
Are you hard worked ? Is your toil grinding T Then per
haps you are the one to take up the long fight to make Salem
the Oberammergau of the Oregon Country.
. IL O. Wells, ,in:his "Outline of History," in his closing
chapter entitled f The Next Stage of History," visions a time,
possibly not far1 in the future when all men and women then
living will be privileged "to meet none, but agreeable, well
mannered people." The world moves fast in these times. The
"impossible" is accomplished every day. But it seems a far
cry. from its present status when smug; rich, self satisfied New
York shall contain only .well mannered people. Mr. Bryan
could scarcely be brought to hope for an early development of
ku oli a race, to take the places of the baiters and hecklers and
hoodlums and rough necks and dumb bells who howled him
down when he attempted to tell the members of the democratic
national convention some , truths they needed above! all other
things to know, for the good of the party they were supposed
to represent. New York has exhibited itself as even a more
prievous ass than Shakespeare made his Falstaff describe. New
York will suffer from; the asinine acts of her apple-pated hooli
prans for many a long-day. The ivory-headed ginks of that city
ho have thought New lork
from this forking of the roads on, that the rest of the United
,' tates regards that city as in foreign territory; and not entitled
even to a look-in, in the decision
Hie well being 01 this country.'

HElip TIIK 'KIDDIES
The crv of the children- gets to
the heartgl of all the people. The
crier must, be comforted. If the
qhild is crying because of being
an orphan, if the little tot has no
place to go except among strang
ers, the appeal is irresistible on
the hearts of the people of Ore
gon to provide homes and com
forts for pose who are homeless
and comfortless. '
f That grand old organization,
the Women's Christian Temper
ance unloji, (may it live forever)
has a home for parentless child
yen near Corvallis. The j home
has . growi , out of all Jiounds.
Koble women have done the best
they could to take care of the
children, ind the response to their
appeals has been quite generous.
Now they fare making another ap
peal, or rjather their friends are,
or still miore rather, the friends
of the children are making -an
appeal: for a new building to
properly house these children and
care for more. The need is great
and the $omes are few. j l.
The Oregon Statsman confesses
to a prejudice against most' of the
children's home finding institu
tions. ; They are pure'ly commer
cial, organized to give people jobs
and conducted as business enter
prises. They do a lot of good, of
course, but there Is no heart tone
in the appeal they make like there
4s for the WCTU home. We are
coming to see with the heart and
We are coming to respond with
bur money to heart appeals, and
Of all the places we can pledge
dollars there is none that will give
more satisfaction , and do more

home at Corvallis. i j '
AS
IT SHOULD BE
A clerk in the poatofficef Cen-
tralla, Wash., has been made as
sistant postmaster at Longyiew,
and thereby hangs a story. The
pregon Statesman has ' long held
the belief that a rural carrier out
of Salem has a right to aspire to
kny office in the majfl service, ln-
jcluding postmaster general, j The
only reason that the civil fservice
now stops' at assistant postmaster
Js because the postmaster has
been known as a Dolitical Official,
but even this la passing, and men
appointed: in recent years have un
dergone an examination far their
fitness with the only leeway being
a choice of among three, j.
There is no reason ,why a car
rier in the Salem postof f ice should
not get to be assistant postmaster
of Portland, and no reasbn why
the assistant postmaster of Port
land should not be appointed post
master at San Francisco, and there
fa no reason whv the nostmaster
at San Ifrancisco should! not be
appointed postmaster general of
the United States. That! is the
only way we can have efficient
civil aerVice. :. Men must know
their work and -by efficiency get
advancement. If a rural carrier is
always a (rural carrier and a post
office clerk is always a pbstoffice
clerk he Is mighty apt to take a
machine Interest In affairs, where
as If he was allowed to fexercise
human ambition he could aspire
to anything in the public service
in his particular line 6f activeness.
UFTIXG THE QUARANTINE
:.. . : i -4- 1 IP-J
It is mighty good4 news that the
quarantine against California ' has
been even partially lifted. It is
hard to estimate , the damage this
has done, and yet circumstances
over which we have no control
made it imperative to do Just what
we did. I ' j; -
It is 'probably true that the
tourist traffic has been cut in two;
at least
it has been cut heavily.
It
means lurther that we must
buckle up our loins, tighten our
belt just a little, rub some vigor
ous anointment on our backbones
and resolve to do better next year.
We all admire the boy who falls
down, gets up, say "OuCh!" and
goes on The same is just as true
of men! When men fall down
they shouldn't spend their time
lamenting; they should philosophi
cally look at the reasonsjwhy and
try to evade them next time. ;
The foot and mouth disease is
a terrible disease. It can not be
handled timidly or delicately; it
has to pe gone after with; hammer
and tongs. It Is good business to
wipe it! outi It is wretched busi
ness to parley with it, wink at it
or soft-peddle it. The disease has
been stamped out in California,
but continued caution and care
must he nsed to prevents re
appearance: It is entirely too
costly to the people of the north
west. ?: ;

MORNIN" Mis' Graham. Lookit!
Heresi a telegram for ybu.
Yes, ma'am.! Funny thing, I f3
down' to the; Harbor this mornin"
early- because bf Lady, she's sick,
and I went to see old Doc Denton,
yes,1 ma'am, u And jest as I was
comin' out of his office, the tele
graph fellow over at the station
was jest coming out, and ho giv'
me j this . message. Yes, ma'am!
Wasn't that funny that I jest hap
pened to be jcomin out?"
Jerry Ticer, shambling1, j awk
ward, but-with such honest good
nature shining in his ruddy boy
ish i face that one simply , had to
smile kindly at him, or! to ruark
one's self a hopelessjmisanthrope,
delivered his monologue much as
If be were "'reciting a piece" in
school, while I hastily scanned the
contents of j the yellow envelope
which he handed me. :
Yes, Jerry, that was funny,"
I said mechanically, then rousing
myself to the inquiry- which I
knew the boy expected, I asked
solicitously: "Is Lady very sick?"
Yes, ma'am, she's pretty sick.
When I got up this morning, she
was all donbled up with colic, but
I gave herj. quart of turpentine
and water, and she felt a little bet
ter,' But old Doc Benton, he's got
a splendid medicine for colic, so
I went down to see him and get
some. You "ought to try it some
time. Want me to leave some?"
The sight of Lillian's face with
Its patent struggle to smother
its laughter! made it exceedingly
difficult for' me to keep my own
face straight. I hastened to dis
miss Jerry. : ' .. i : ; " :
A Mission for Jerry.
"That won't be necessary, Jer
ry," 'I said. "If I want any I can
always come to you for it, and
now I wish you'd go out and count
all; the chickens carefully. If
they're all there you needn't come
in again, but : if any are missing,
tell me at once," j ;
VYesf, ma'am." j Jerry bustled
off excitedly;;, "Ybu know, Mis'
Graham, chicken thieves might
have been around after all."?
His voice held a distinctly hope
ful; note and. I knew that Jerry's
love of "something happening','
that boon so desired by lonely1
country-bred youth was involun
tarily triumphing over his loyal in
terest in our property.
"As long as that telegranf is not
bad news,"; Lillian said, as the
door ; closed after him, i "a fact I
know from I your unruffled face,
will you enlighten me as to this
mysterious Lady who is given a
quart of turpentine and water,
and whose colic medicine our Jer
ry .so solicitiously offers you? I
trust for your sake it : has noth
ing like turpentine in 4t." "
Through my laughter at her
puzzled expression there rah a
swift little feeling of elation that
my face had been enough 1 of a
"poker" 'one ito deceive so astute
an '' observer as Lillian, For the
news In my wire, whjle. not exact
ly ) bad, was ' still disturbing, and
I was glad indeed . that she had
considered my face "unruffled."
That's Easy,"
'Lady' is a new acquisition of
Jerry's,'; I 'explained. "She is an
old, broken-down horse, one bf a
series which he has bought cheap
ly, nursed and sold more cheaply,
or lost by dath. You would
know this," I added severely 'if
you spent more time informing
yourself as to the business of the
neighbors and less Ota the affairs
of the nation." V -
"Peccavi ! J $ Peccavi ! " she cried,
laughing. 'But I am relieved to
know you will not he expected to
take the colic medicine. And I
take oft my hat to Jerry's opti
mism." . ' -j ,.v-';:-
fit .Is ' nnconquerable," I re
turned. Then I held out my tele
gram to her, for I knew she would
never ask: . its contents. "You
know Dick's ' professional; affairs
better than 1 do. What do you
think this means?" '
She read over aloud the mes
sage t had! just conned: :
,"Please send immediately ex
press, small trunk, complete
changes heavies, medium, socks
silk, golf stockings, shoes, knick
ers, clubs, guns; evening clothes,
ties; anything else I need, also

; "That's easy," she anounced.
"He has a commission to illus
trate a new book or something
for Atkins, and has been invited
UP to the wonderful Adirondack
camp which Atkins has as a re
ward of writing best sellers. He'll
need i every kind of rags he has,

.LITTLE ROCK, Ark- July 4.
The power of . the . United States
District Court has been . Invoked
by a Memphis, Tenn., corpora
tion in an ' effort to prevent the
city, of Little Rock from enforc
ing' a zoning ordinance ; which
would prohibit the erection of a
seven" story hotel apartment build
ing within a few hundred feet of
the statp. capitol building. ,
Arkansas is proud of her mag
nificent state house, which sets
on a ' hill J overlooking the city,
the ; Arkansas riter and historic
Fort Root across the river. Sev
eral acres south and west of the
new capitol haye been acquired
by the state and 'made into a park,
but the: legislature has postponed
action to acquire land north and
east of the building which was
contemplated to round out the
capitol grounds.4 '''';
Recently the Tennessee corpor
ation purchased several of these
lots and announced its intention
to erect -a large apartment which
would overlook the capitol and
even tower above the huge dome
of the State house.. Immediately
a movement was Started1 by: those
who said they sought to maintain
the beauty of the capitol and
and grounds t prevent the erec
tion of the building. : This cul
minated in the passage of a city
zoning ordinance, prohibiting the
erection: of buildings niore than

i . Issues of Day
'I:
JCLEVELAND, O., July 4.
(Associated Press.) The text of
Senator Robert M. La Folleitte's
message today to the Conference
for Progressive Political Action,
whs in part, as follows: j
I "In the most monentous crisis
which has confronted the nation
In our time, you have called upon
me to accept the leadership in a
national political campaign to
wrest, the American government
from the predatory interests
which now control -it, and to re
store it to the people. j
"I realize this summons comes
to me in no sense as a mere per
sonal tribute. The American peo
ple are thoroughly awake tq the
reaL issues with which they must
deal, and recognize the failure of
the two dominant parties to meet
them. They know that the prin
ciples involved in the campaign
are greater than any political
party. It , is only insofar, as my
public record squares with those
principles and meets those issues
that I can be of any substantial
assistance In the movement;
. "I conceive it to be first duty
of every political party and of
every candidate to state plainly
and specifically to the American
people the terms upon which their
suffrage is invited. The republi
can and democratic parties ihave
failed in this., obligation! j The
progressives? must deal honestly
and openly with the people;
1 "After long experience in pub
lic life and painstaking consider
ation of the present state of, pub
lic affairs, I am convinced; that
the time has come for a militant
political movement, independent of
the two old parties organizations,
and responsive to the needs and
sentiments of the common! peo
ple. ' - j ,
i "I should' be unwilling tq par
ticipate In any political movement
at this time which would imperil
the steady advance of the progres
ive movement or diminish the
number of the true progressives,
nominally .elected as republicans
and democrats, who are nows serv
ing the public in the house, the
senate and In many of the 1 state
governments:--The ground al
ready won must not be abandon
ed. We must consolidate our
present gains afid press forward,
without compromise or surren
der; : - .- " ".'"':.'"' ' . j " '
J "The necessity for an" Indepen
dent progressive movement lies in
the failure of the two old parties
to purge themselves of the jinflu
ences which have caused their ad
ministrations repeatedly to betray
the American people. i t
I "The rank and file of the mem
bership of both old parties is pro
gressive, but through a vicious
and undemocratic convention sys
tem and under the evil influences
which have been permitted to
thrive at Washington both; party
organizations have fallen under
the domination and control of
corrupt wealth, devoting the pow
ers of government exclusively to
selfish special interests. j
I "An analysis of the platforms
adopted hy the two old parties
will show that the real issues
have been ignores and that the
candidate of either party. If elect-
fed,. will go into office with no spe
cific pjedges whatsoever binding
him to the people, while be will
be under the most immediate ne
cessity and obligation of serving
the party bosses and predatory in
terests to whom he Owes his nom
ination and upon he must rely
for election. J . '
"The republican convention at
Cleveland "scornfully rejected the
oriiy progressive piatrorm onerea
tor adoption and nominated) a can
didate who is the frank defender
of the. present system of govern
ment In the interests of organized
wealth. M
"The democrattic convention
was forced, out of consideration
of political expediency and
through the efforts of sincere pro
gressives within the party, to take
less openly reactionary .. groundJ
but the platform adopted at New
York does not meet, the demands
of the progressive millions,1 of the
nation. .
"But even if both republican
and democratic conventions had
adopted thorough-going progres
sive platforms, the administration
people have learned that neither
party can be trusted to keep its
promises. ' j ' ' j
"To break the combined power
of the private monopoly system
over the political and economic
life of the American people is the
one paramount issue of the 1924
campaign." j v i .

The twelve flax julllng ma
chines arrived" in Salem, over the
Oregon Electric line, on Thursday
night. The two icars that contain
them are on the Front street

that they -will be taken to the

for delivery some time today, j

strate their operations had not
reported list night, But it was
the Fourth of July,-and no doubt
he will be here today. s ' I
Some of the flax that is to he
pulled with the machines is now
dead ripe, and the'growers having
flax in that condition will want
their machines at the very earliest
possible hour; tt . ;
By Monday, at the latest, some
of the machines ought to be work

that the German Import embargo
on motor cars was to be lifted
some time .next, tall, steps to be in
on the ground floor when the
move Is ma.de have already been
t a k e n by several automobile
manufacturers : Dealers assert
that at least five United States
agencies have completed the ne
cessary arrangements with the
German government to begin busi
ness here as eoon as ,the bars are
let down. In this connection itj is
announced that the German gov
ernment has authorized 'the Im
portation of 500 American made
tractors which are to be delivered
during the summer. - ; j
It Is understood among dealers
that the present German tariff
rates on the Importation of auto
mobiles will be Increased, some
what in order to offset the great
difference In AmericiJn and Ger
man motor car prices. The pres
ent tariff ratea on imported cars
follows: 50 kilos or less, 600
eold marks: 50 to 100 kilos, 480
gold marks;' 100 to 250 kilos, 300
gold marks; 250 to 500 kllos.'240
gold marks;, 500 to 1.0 00 -kilos.
160 gold marks; more than 1,000
kilos, 80 gold marks.- ' : j

virtually on a gold mark basisj

dealers of France, England and
the United States have been vieing
with one another to capture their
share i of the German trade. Ex-
n
pensive American
limousines and.
particularly. In
touring cars are
demand, but it appears that for
the time being at least, moderate
priced cars, will not be introduced
here on a large ecale unless the;
rigid police regujations for the-1;
use of automobiles are-eliminated -in
Berlin and most, of the other . 4
German cities. .- .
Explaining this the trade report
of . the America i Chamber of
Commerce in Germany says: "It.,
should he borne in mind bjr deal
ers that very fewjautomoblliets ih
Germany drive" their own cars,
but. employ chauffeurs, and it is
for this reason that German anto
mobilists must fifst take to driv
ing their own care before any
large business can be expected for
companies dealing exclusively in
the smaller or private car. Police
regulations are particularly rigid .
in the master of j parking and no
cars are allowed o he parked for
any length of time 'in front of a
store,' theater, Jn
a side street or
even.,withln a puhllc square. A
car may wait In (front of a store
or theater, but must Invariably be
in attendance by
the chauffeur,
lamps must be
and at night all
lighted."
There are few
cities In Ger
made any p ro
many-which have
vision whatever;
tor parking
space, the problem being one
which haa been taken up by the
local traffic authorities in the re
spective centers jwhere there Is
congestion In the streets caused
by the increased traffic by auto
mobiliste. j
