And there is not a socialist

"Trail 'em to Salem," carried on many . automobiles, is a

The suggestion is passed on for what it is worth; and it will
. no doubt be considered by many readers as worth not only

iDourn ior mem to pay for the picking.
In the wonderful Salem district, Bing ahd other standard cher
ries netted many growers not more than two or two and a half cents.
The same cherries retailed in Milwaukee and other Mid-West.cities at
40 to 50 cents. On a shipment from a Willamette valley, grower to
f ivuiwaukee the express charge was $4.95 per 10O pounds;
, ' - That is to say, the tribute taken on the way from the, orchard
to the final 'consumer in this case was about I ten times what the

.., f Here is one of the blights on agriculture". The farmers have no
adequate selling plan. They depend on others to do their selling.
Ten times as much of the profit, for those who do the distribution
and seeling, is the outcome, and it ia a disastroas outcome for the
' farmers. They get so little out of
-and other of the finest cherries in the world dry on the trees. That
is. a loss to the farmer and Indirectly a loss to the state and to all
the people in it. - j , '
Agriculture's only deliverance is for the people engaged in it to
. develop the business end of the industry. It is as vital to the grower
to-sell right as it is to plant the right kind of trees, do the right
kind of cultivating and produce the right kind of cherries. Selling
has come to be the most important thing in every line or activity.
Selling is the game to which every enterprise applies its best brains.
Many farmers hesitate to join cooperative; selling agencies. In
doing so they cling to a selling system that through the centuries has
: caused tons of cherries year by year to dry on the trees.

about the surprise of some visitors
at the industries of Oregon. Of
course the visitors did not notice
that these industries belong to the
man-ape propaganda in St. Helens.
In fact they.do not exist. Hut as
suming that they do exist, which
is a neighborly thing to do, the
Oregonian deposes as; follows:
i "Oregon's Industries have been
i ' .
developed along with its scenery
and progress Jnlhe.prMluetio rr trT
raw materials has been consistent.
It was revealed to visiting buyers
of the Pacific cvast in a Beries of
inspection trips yesterday. ' Uni
formly, the members of the West
ern Purchasing Agents' associa
tion from four states, in Portland
for the pecond day of their con
vention, expressed surprise at rc
cent manufacturing and develop-t
ment projects. ''?
'.' 'Not even the people of Port
land realize the extent and value
of the development of Oregon's
natural resources, to say nothing
of the people of theother states
of the coast, including California.
said James J. Byrnes of the south
ern j California association, who
voiced the enthusiasm of the dele
gation from Los Angeles. j
"The production of wool goods,
lumber, paper, and iron and steel
goods has been explained In! de
tail to the purchasing agents who
represent the largest companies in
the states of California, Washing
ton, Utah, and Oregon. In the
case of every visit delegates have
expressed surprise, which has been
strengthened by a representative
exhibit of Oregon-made goods at
the headquarters of the conven
tion at the Multnomah hotel, j
"That the convention has done
more to bring a realization of the
possibilities for the sale of Oregon
goods in othe"r parts of the coast
than any other one agency, was
the expression of a group of repre
sentative buyers of southern Cali
fornia. The first opportunity for
the meeting of Oregon manufac
turers and buyers from other
states, the sessions are thought to
have pointed the way to increased
trade along the coast."
KAXKKIW All) FAIIMKKS
At Corvallis on Friday there
was a conference of unusual im
portance. It was between the rep
resentatives of the farmers; and
the representatives of the bankers.
It promises to be fruitful. 5 I j
What the farmers need is credit,
and counsel in that credit! !a
banker who merely hands a patron
the cash in exchange for a j note
is performing his duty as a money
banker, but he is not performing
his duty as a fellow citizen.; The
banks are beginning ta under
stand the importance of counsel,
and the farmers appreciate it also.
A business man in town does not
hesitate to counsel' with hi3 back
er on any venture, and the farjm
ers should do the same thing.
When a banker loans a patron
money they become in a sense
partners. The bankers get in
terest as his part of tho partner
ship. The patron or borrower gets
whatever the money makes above
a certain per cent. It is a mutual
arrangement and mutually im
portant. ,
We look for much good to come
fronr this plan of service on the
pari of the banks in cooperation
with the farmers. .
NOT L THE CARDS
Senator Ladd of North Dakota
declares he is still - a republican
but! will support La Follette. It
cannot be done. La Follette has
gone outside of the republican
party. He has bolted just as ef
fectually as if he had just walked
out of the republican convention.
He has been for 20 years the re
cipient of honors at the hands of
the republican party from which
he has" now bolted. Senator Ladd
in supporting La Follette must go
outside of the republican party.
TJiere is no such thing as a: La
Follette republican. La Follette
is fighting the republicans, al
though he is the recipient of their
bread and butter.
The campaign' in Oregon mast
be conducted upon the lines that
the republican party is right and
that is the' people's hone. Anv
tning less than this, any trim
ming means to let down the bars.
No republican-has anybusiness to
apologize for his party or plead
fof an opportunity to rbfornv it.
The republican party is always re
forming. It is always progressing.
The way to get things done in
Arirerica is via party organixation.
It is impossible to be a republi
can and support La Follette at the
same time. i
WHEAT -IS UP
A dollar " and tweity-fivo-ent
wheat has reached .Oregon and
the trend is steadily upward. At
the price of wheat at present there
is; a profit in its growing. Un
happily a good deal of 1t is in the
bands of traders, but we are sure
that many farmers of the thriftier
aort i still own their -wheat. At
any rate, the crop this year will
b marketed at least 50 cents a
bushel higher , than the same
period last yeah
It is time for tho farmers to
take hope," to renew their courage.
Spit on their hands and ; resolve
o dig out at all hazards. They
have done this before. They will
do it now. The American farmers
are the bravest and most adven-
uresome men on eartlu They
complain, but they, never cease to
fightr - -.- ; .:
While the farmers were trying
vainly to get help from the gov
ernment they were not even charg
ed with sitting down and waiting
for something to be done for
them. They worked every day and
managed carefully. Great is the
American farmer.
SHOULD BE WELCOMED
The Oregon Statesman is dis
appointed that no effort-has been
made to formally: welcome Sena
tor McNary' and Representative
Hawlcy home.,
j Senator McNary has. been es
pecially conspicuous in fighting for
the. interests of the common peo
ple. He has never tired in his
efforts to secure favorable legis
lation.! He is our most distin
guished citizen, and as such we
should honor him as neighbors.
Representative Hawley has been
a long; time in congress. He- has
won' honorable distinction and his
homecoming should be1 welcomed.
! In addition to this the occa
sion could be advantageously used
as a ratification for Coolidge and
Dawes.- Our J people feel very
unanimously that the republican
ticket this year,. from the national
down ;tp the county, is the best
ever put out. j
SUNDAY IS RIGHT
Billy Sunday, with his charac
teristic candor and fearlessness.
takes a rap at non-conformists.
He says what; the Oregon States
man has frequently said, that the
preacher who-can not preach in
harmony with his church has no
business taking people's money to
proselyte. We have always argued
that this is theologically dishonest.
It is almost personally dishonest.
The man who does not believe in
the doctrines of the church has
no business preaching, because he
must I expound those doctrines.
There is a difference between a
preacher and an attorney and this
must be emphasized constantly. A
preacher wears the. livery of heav
en on bis soul and he should be
orthodox in his preaching and in
his belief also. '
MORE POWER
After four years of effort the,
government has been persuaded to
allow' some huge power dams to
be made on Klamath river. The
stupendousnrss of this undertak
ing probably hindered it somewhat
yet it is entirely practical. There
is enough water in the Klamath
river to meet all purposes if it' is
properly conserved, and its de
velopment means a new life for
southeastern ! Oregon. The land
there cannot be surpassed in rich
ness,: and with proper power .' it
can be irrigated and farmed in
such a way that it will rival the
Imperial valley of California.

BLOSSOMS, by Harriet Loom
is; Smith, published by the Page
Company, Boston. Price $2.00.
Upon the death of Eleanor H
Porter, the creator of Pollyanna
the little girl who always played
the GLAD game, and her sequel
of the girl grown up, the charac
ter was taken over by its present
writer who has - written a - very
pretty story tof Pollyanna the Glad
girl as a newly married lady, with
her ! housewifely troubles, the
burned dinner, the quarreling
neighbors, the Christmas tree for
the laundress which: didn't pan
out,' and the thousand and one
trifles which seem like mountains
to a bride. I The romance is the
beantful culmination of Poliyan
na reared to be almost a "Lady's
Aider," and Jimmy, the little boy
whom Pollyanna found by the
wayside and- managed to get adop
ted ; by Mr. James Pendleton, her
favorite godfather batchelor who
lived in the; big house on the hill
Incidents of the story are real
with the flavor of love and now
developments of world-od prob
lems. The coming of the war,
Jimmy's- enlistment and .Pollyan
na's return to Aunt Pplly in Ver
mont, a year of waiting and Jim

iThe story is sweet and full of

as though j; someone decided to

of the Conway (Arkansas News
There are men and women who
do not understand the? difference
between- a "reverse" and a "de
feat." ' :-
This is because they "give iip"
too; readily and class themselves
with the "down and outs." f
A reverse comes to, us some
times with the friendly intimation
that it is time to "put on the
brakes" f because we may have
g'rbwn - reckless or become f.n
ishly independent, because pai-tiai
success has attended our effort-.
The refleetive person will see the'
benefit of a checking of our
course, and" by halting get a safer
viewpoint of what is the best line
of conduct. : , , i
jKo one can be really defeated
provided the purpose is right and
thi will-power to succeed is' made
of. the right stuff. A temporary
reverse will serve to give time to
bring up the "reserve force? to
hoM what has teen accomplished
and to clinch a meritorious ; vie
tofy. ' . , f .;
The general of a winning army
shows military genius when a tern
i orary not . defeat check halts
this forward narch. Then he balls

"As governor of the state of Or

Such was the reply of Governor

peals that he have nothing to do
with war department plans for a

anniversary of the battle of St.

his belief that the general; "obser

Uiider the above caption Sena
tor fred J. Tooze, in the Oregon
City I Courier makes this strong
pronouncement against pre-elec-tlon.bf
a speaker of the next legis
lature: '
OSe of the great political needs
f Oregon is to change the method
of ejecting the president of the
statef senate and the speaker of the
house of representatives.
The spectacle of some individu
al wfiose service to the state con
sists! chiefly of boosting himself
intol position of political In
fluence or personal popularity
by offers to dispense committee
positions for . pledges of votes is
one of the disgusting things com
mon! to the organization of both
branches of the state legislature.'
By this method of swapping po
sitions for votes' many of the more
conscientious of the members who
wau the best men for the heads
of tie legislative branches of the
government and will not pledge
thediselves are punished by the
successful plotter for Ithe highest
position by being placed on "jok
er" committees, This method of
procedure was carried outs at , the
organization of the last legisla
ture and is likely to be repeated
at very session until the voters
awaken from tjieir present slumber
andvote for a change in the pres
ent flaw. .
Under tho present custom many
of the most efficient men in both
branches of the legislature are
placed upon committees for which
they are least or not at all adapt
ed,; and render quality of servce
way below their ability to render
AnT another result is that ani
mosities are thus engendered that
crop out detrimentally to the
work of the session.
Candidates too often "sign up"
for some self soliciting politician
under the assurance that such ac
quiescence will be essental to their
welfare and in order to "get; in"
on coTnmttees. The welfare of the
state in placing each- man where
he can be of the greatest .service
is a podr second under the present
custom. i '.'
the grange In Marion county
is the first organization to openly
combat this evil. A well-laid plan
to harass the governor is claimed
in the "sign-up" for speaker of
the next house, hence action by
the agricultural folk of the "Capi
tol" county. Other organizations
may follow this lead, and the re
sults will be both interesting and
instructive. i ' ,"
Meanwhile steps should: be
taken to elect the speaker of the
house and the president of the
senate by popular vote. The legis
lature itself Should pave the way.

inferior passages. These, though.
are few. ' - , - - ' -
What an interview with ; Mr.
Martin (Abraham Lincoln) reveal
ed late yesterday afternoon at the
Argo hotel is interesting: Be
hind the scenes Jack Martin, who
plays the part of Lincoln, is the
kind of a man that one would
want to play the part of the
'Great Commoner." He hasn't
the features or the physical build
of Lincoln but he moves in an at
mosphere of simplicity,' of calm.
and of sincerity. One is! satisfied
to leave the imitation of Lincoln's J
physical appearance to the art of
stage makeup because this j man
gives us a satisfying picture of the
spirit of Lincoln.
Likes to Vlay Lincoln '
There was a look in iiis eyes
when he talked that must j very
nearly resembled the look in the
eyes of the great president in his
moments of- determination and
great service when Martin said.
Of course 1 like to play Lincoln.
It is an inspiration. 1 can feel
that I am doing something tre
mendously worth while."
This man who daily pictures the
life -of Lincolnwas born in Ken
tucky, Lincoln's native state. He
left high school to follow the
stage. He is not a graduate of a
dramatic school but worked his
way up to his present position
through stock companies, his first
part the humble role of an old
negro. He first took the part of
Lincoln In Kettering's play two
years ago when it played on the
Standard Chautauqua circuit and
moved with-the play to the Ellison-White
stage when Day again
v.ndertook the production of the
play.
Indian tiller tlrarri
While the country's gre:4te:
American, Lincoln, took the even
ing lead, the country's original
American, the Indian, had the
floor for the afternoon.;
And Nipo Strongheart had a
message. Emerging from Iiis te
pee in full tribal regalia, he stood
before a good-sized -audience yes
terday afternoon to build his logi
cal plea for the,pasSfng American
Indian, .y ' f ' . kS. I
"My purpose. " he said early in
his address, entitled. "From Peace
Pipe to War Trail., "Is to give you
understanding of my people."
The first part of the afternoon was
given over to a ;cdmparative pre
sentation of thef religious of the
white and the red man. Of his
own religion. Mr; Strongheart said
in. bringing out the point that,, to
the Indian, God Is! omnipresent,
"We. see Him everyday which ever
way we go. We see Him in one
way; you in another. ;
He Approached ridicule in his
candid consideration of various of
the w lite people's! multitude of
religio is. j But nowhere did his
words cut. They only stung. As
a furtlier point in the1 religion of
the Indian,1 Mr. Strongheart em
phasized his people's fundamental
apprec ation of everything God
has m; de. ! In this connection he
calls attention to the irreproach
able respect with which the Indian
regards the womanhood of his
kind.: , j p.
