T COU JTY BACKS Editorial A CHALLENGE TO The! campaign for the new buildtng4or Salem's Y. M. C. A. Is drawing to a close, Monday night, after an all day canvass of the city by districts, the campaign organization will hold its final meet ing. A hundred mm and more have made great sacrifices of time and have turned in a magnificent record of service. ' Also there has been a wonderful response. Over 2000 pledges for a total of more than $165,000 have been secured. It is doubtful whetherjthere hasever been in Salem more general, or more sacri ficial, giving than has been evidenced 1 in this effort. It proves that the Association is well grounded in the confidence and affections of the people, i i i i v Yet'the campaign has fallen short. It has fallen short, and this whole great enterprise is threatened with failure, and the institution with disaster. It has fallen short; not because the objective was too high, fori it; will be Impossible to build adequately for less; not because of any fault in the organization, for it is generally conceded that a better or more determined body of men and women never have been brought together for any cause in Salem; certainly not for lack of iacrificial giving on the part of the general public, for they have jiven generously, and then given again. j This constitutes the most challenging opportunity for philan thropy that has ever been presented in Salem. These gifts are all conditional j j i Not one of them is binding until the goal is reached. '.

The psychological moment is here for a great act of generosity that will thrill the community, and save a great cause. j Where is there a more attractive field for benevolence? This is not a venture in an uncharted wilderness. The Y. M. C. A. has proven itself in a thousand cities and during three generations. No candid observer can question its right to the fullest confidence of the most exacting.' It has an appeal in a remarkable degree to boy life, and it is putting the stamp of dependable! character on a multi tude of 3ur youth.1 In every land it is recognized as one of the great necessary agencies of a complex civilization. Here Is a call upon those men and women of Salem who are in position! to do so.! to save this undertaking. Tomorrow is the last day make it a red letter day in Salem's history by making the gift or gifts j that will put this project over the top with a goodly margin. You have the promise. , on the greatest of all authorities, that such a gift will not impoverish, but will enrich.. i .

J.. j completing its remarkable record breaking nine thousand mile cruise. . Not only were he world's re cords or achievement broken but a greater thrill came to the coun try from the fact that the first American built rigid airship had made the first voyage across the United States and returned. The test of ship and men, a test as se vere as any ship ever faced, , has been successfully met. The She nandoah cast off from the moor ing mast at Lakehurst and started its long cruise at 10 a. m., Octo ber 7. At 11 o'clock tonight 445 hours had passed since the start. In that time the Shenan doah bad been flying with its en gines running for j 257 hours and 38 minutes and moored to a mast for 187 hours and 32 minutes.

All that! escaped was valved to j permit landing, or set free by: automatic safety valves under the; expansion of the high altitudes.. For every minute through the entire cruise, the ship was able to maintain constant radio communi cation with the land, frequently with stations several thousand miles distant. Weather reports, official messages, instructions as to mooring hours and thousands of words of press messages were sent arid received. New discover ies in the; possibilities of radio communication from high alti tudes were made All of the radio equipment car ried on board was manufactured at the Bellevue experiment labor atory, Washington, many of the technicalities of which never had been tried out before and their success was evident. 1 Fans Tune In As remarkable as the effective ness of the radio apparatus was the promptness with which com munication was established in al most every part jof the United States.

Charles G. Dawes, speaking tonight in New' York for the first time since the beginning of the campaign. scored the La Follette Indepen dent movement, assailed the dem ocrats and denounced "cowardly, trimming politicians" in his own party. . ; The La Follette candidacy bore the brunt of the assault, Mr. Dawes describing it as an "attack leveled at the constitution, which, if successful means destruction of our, form of government" He also attacked its leaders, as serted that "We are hearing much about the rule of the people from the men who are speaking really of the rule of the mob." Democrats lilt The attention- given by the re publican nominee to the democrat ic opposition was only in passinff and consisted in a 'reference to what he termed that party's at tempt to stand up I the battle lies with one radical and one con servative candidate. "In a way, I respect those men who are fighting this form of gov ernment," he said with reference to the La Follette group. "They have courage and I respect their pnnritn. Tint wn ' have not- had anybody on my side for the last four 'years at least not many that have been standing up and fighting." Lack of political courage, Mr. Dawes asserted, had resulted in the polling of a small vote In past elections. Refers to Wisconsin "That is the reason why up In Wisconsin for four years you have only had about 33 to 40 per cent of the registered vote cast and through large sections of our country the same thing pertains," he added. "Why? What induce ment is there for American citi zens to come out and vote, when on one side is a man in earnest, courageous, fighting for some thing that a citizen does not be lieve in; and on the other side Is a cowardly, trimming politician, preaching that by legislation you can get high beef on the hoot and low beef on the table, high rail-, road, wages and low railroad rates and all that sort of inconsistent stuff and clap-trap, trying to please everybody; putting vote getting above principle a pretty poor choice. people have not been to the polls as they should have been: But now you have a fight." The issue in this "fight," Mr. Dawes told his audience, was raised when the La Follette group, adopted a platform declaring for submission of "a constitutional amendment, providing that con gress may by reenacting a statute, make it effective over a Juditiil veto." In other words, at one blow, he added, "it is proposed to destroy the balance of power which exfsts in this government between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government and make the executive and judicial subordi nate to congress."
