CONTRAST -"For their enemies themselves being judges. A NATIONAL AND . Hon. Chas. L.-McNary, Oregon's senior United States senator, Salem boy and Salem citizen, is home for a rest , And faith he needs it. ' J: ; On account of the fight. he went through in ihe closing . days of congress, in leading the attempt to getUhe-McNary farm relief bill through the upper house, he became the head and center of one of the fiercest political struggles ever, sejfn in all the history of this country. - '"i He stuck to his post almost night and day for four full weeks, almost without time for sleep or meals. 4 He ;was as sailed by the enemies of the bill, and hailed by its friends, and the millions of its backers on the farms rof this country. " He became a leading figure in the politics of the United States, and in the economic affairs of the world. There is a principle at stake in the McNary farm relief bill that is far reaching; that will persist; that may make and unmake political leaders all over this country. V ".. It is more than probable that the principle will finally be tried out in this country. It is practically certain. So ..our Salem boy will remain the head and center, of this great fiirht. declared in the August issue of the World's Work to : be one of the two leading issues in this country that will per sist, the other being the prohibition issue. The reader is invited to read, in the news columns of The Statesman of this morning, the very brief statement of " what the principle of the McNary farm relief bill means. STANDARDS FOR FAIRS The county and state fair season is opening in the north "'west. The true values of these exhibitions-depend largely upon the ideals of those who will have them in eharge. V - All agricultural fairs are educational and,as.sucb. should J beMnteresting and contain features recreational or amusing. . Men and women of the highest types of characters are among ' the 'dependable supporters of these fairs. Children too, are encouraged to be present through the stimulus of clUjb k. ; It is obvious that only those features which appealed the moral nature "and the progressrveidealsbf outh itrrdan- hood should be encouraged or allowed. 4 , v 1 V Livestock exhibits play are large part In the.succeps of all fairs. Good livestock exhibits should then be emphasized. Home economics, including sewing, canning and speclalfea " tures are enjoyed. Fruit, vegetables, grains, grasses nri man f ufactured articles for the household and farm as well as poultry and pet stock occupy also an important place, and i'adtl to the interest of the patrons. Recreations ofxvarious j sorts including races, athletic games, contests and other re- creational features which are clean, amusing and invigorat vving should be and are always in order. With the vast array of exhibits to attract the attention 1 and render enjoyable the occasion there is no demand on the part of patrons who are depended upon from year to year to make the fair a success, for games of chance or any other features which shock the moral sense. Gambling should not ' be tolerated, and every sign of booze should speedily and un ! , corhprisingly be destroyed and the guilty summarily pun ished. ; That fair which allows the immoral or questionable to flourish is too weak, too imbecile or top rotten to succeed. It is an insult to the youth who, encouraged by the manage ment to attend and take part for educational purposes, have a right to enjoy exhibitions which are attractive, and of high educational, moral value. If fairs will not pay without the wheel of fortune, the loud-mouthed tricksters and paint-bedaubed criers of chance they would better close their gates. V It is the clean fair conducted on a plane-of high educa tional recreational values that will be permanent and success ful. All fair managers should keep this in -mind. The farmers of the Salem district are ready to sign up to grow enough sugar beets to support a factory here; 5000 acres, or 10,000 or more acres. This is the time to go after and get a beet sugar factory. Not some other, year. Now. Not later in the season. Now. This matter must not "be put off again till if is too late, as was done last yeaand the year before,, in the "spring months. There is no time to lose.

() Death Takes Mrs. Brunk; Thousands Mourn Loss .(Continued from para 1.) she had evidently intended; And on that first day, the first hour, in fact, to take down the receiver of the telephone was to hear this reminder of a beloved predeces sor: "Do you suppose you can write this for me as Molly Brunk used to do when she was on your paper?" Then yesterday, only a few hours before her death, came this plea: "No, I can't give you the item, I want to speak to Molly Brunk personally. ..." And when we told her the incredible news that Molly Brunk, the punctual, energetic, was not at her desk, that she had submitted to a very severe operation, then came this tribute, "How I love that woman: I will send her something." Mrs. Brunk leaves, beside her husband, Byron F. Brunk, and her sorrowing parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Iluncorn, an 18-moths old daughter, Mary Emma. For five years Mrs. Brunk has managed the Oregon State Fair publicity, .expending herself unre servedly in the accomplishment of whatever task to which she had set her hand. At the time of her death, as few of her friends know, Mrs. Brunk was completing a novel. on garden-lore, the love theme interweaving with the flori- cuture which she knows so well. "Mrs. Brunk has long been ac tive in the Salem Garden club, having prepared article after ar ticle for use in the papers.; An other indication of her versatility was her continued activity in the Salem Arts League, Molly Brunk serving two years in succession as art director. Only a few weeks ago Mrs. Brunk was chosen by the members of the Writers' Sec tion as their leader for th new year. But she presided at only two meetings. Mrs. Brunk has met with considerable success in the field of feature writing), hav ing sold to various eastern publi cations, . She has a va Ned herself of extensive courses; has trained herself to all manned or handi work: and has developed a j beau tiful flower garden at her home. Mrs. Brunk, during the; vaca tion of Miss Rosalia Keber in British Columbia, has been at the society desk at the Capital! Jour nal. Molly Brunk worked as usual until five o'clock Friday af ternoon, speaking of being some what tired, but attributing! it to the heat. j At 10 o'clock Saturday morn ing a severe abdominal operation was performed, from the shock of which she died.

For, though defeated in the upper house, ven those who, for various reasons, deserted the cause in the last ! days, see their mistake already. There can be no real farm relief outside of the principle involved in that bill. It goes the whole way. Nothing else can accomplish real relief. New line of sarjn and vengeline hats for better wear.

() WILSON WINNING LOCAL SUPPORT IN DRY TALK (Continued from page S.) election cam on i they elected a woman leader of the dry fight mayor of the city over every wet opponent by a majority overwhel ming, it is well understood that the drys, who believe in one vote for one person, will no partici pate in a fake election, unauthor ized and unwatched, where the vets can vote 50 times if they xant to manage it so. and where one honest vote would make no account anyway. To prove this assertion let me give you some facts. In the Wesley Bible class of Brightwood Park M. E. church Washington D. C. last Sunday it was ascertained that of the 25 members, one had voted in the newspaper contest". "In "a Sunday scnool of Charle rol. Pa., fiere were 205 members present, one of whom had cast a vote. Of the Parent-Teacher association at Surataville, Md., we found 150 members, but not one bid voted in the newspaper poll. It is probable that every one of them would have voted "dry" at an election. ; In the Bradbury Heights church of Maryland 24 S were present and three of them had voted. !l believe these investigations would fairly represent every dry group you can meet acrpss the country. I met a dripping wet 'raveling man recently. lie asked rue if I had voted at the newspaper poll. I replied that I had not. and did not know of any one of my associates, of acquaintances who, had. He said he had ; voted 18 times "wet" the day before. I ', remarked "Well, my brother, you can outvote me." But he could not do it in a real election. JThere my vote would count as much as his. , If I were called npon to give any advice on this action it would be, "Don't let a mr net purpusB ot me Ameri can people to have a country with- out & liquor traffic in it. Do not let doned news agencies fool you by propaganda Don't, imagine that one man who wdbbles around among the weU of ??ew .York city and syndicate six articles through the Associated PreWs represents the united voice of Protestantism in America.

"These churches have given iheir money, their nun. their time and talent to save the children ci the coming generation from the grog shop and the i civilization of t heir age " from the machinations nf the brewers association; and the debauching influence of rum rule In our cities.

The old df Inkers want booze with a kick in it overheard one of: them say: ."This near beer has no . author-i-ety We are hearing from that class. 'Another is the cupidity group. There are more people who had invested in the liquor traffic than vou could dream. Folks who owned the property of saloons, sample houses, distilleries and breweries.- People .who owned brewery sites on the side. Peo ple who invested in bottle makers and other agencies that were tied ur with liquor interests. These want the money. And then we have the corrupt politician who cannot manipulate the elections as he could when the town was wet and wide open; the ward heel er, the handler of boodle, the group manipulator of city coun cil and legislative matters are all uniting in fightng prohibition. It has taken away their trade. "The racket reminds me of the uproar of the silversmiths of Ephe- sus! (Acts xix 23-25, American Revised), 'And about that time there arose no small stir concern ing the Way, for a Certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen, whom he gathered to gether' with the workmen of like occupation, and said: Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth.' ! "When prohibition was won, all along our lines the inoral forces flushed with victory, would have lined up in a great offensive to demand the strict and literal ob servance of the law, and an en forcement upon those. wno violate law, the putting of our American Sabbath back on its American foundations, as it was before it was trampled in the mire of our :ities, the demanding that the Bi ble should be re-etabli8hfd in the tax-supported schools of every itate that our children may have 'orae knowledge of the book that has been the model of their gov--nment, the enactment of a red light abatement law for all cities, a stricter law and better enforce ment of the anti-cigarette enact ments for the protection of min ors, a uniform marriage and di vorce law enacted by congress for the whole country, that the prin ciples which our fathers brought across the sea and planted around Plymouth Rock, on the hanks bf the Delaware and on the James as well, and which took root and grew into our American civili sation might continue to grow and flourish a Bible modelled gov- ernnient.'a free education, a pure home life and equal standards for both sexes, the worship of God at every flreside, an open ballot box for every citizen,, the free expres sion of public thought, in a Chris tian nation, and the observance of the American Sabbath of rest ajnd worship for the telling of millions of our busy people, in' the Interest of all our national moral life and for the sake of decent ' courtesy to the prevailing religion.

The national reform situation. We believe that the new or ganization under General Lincoln C. Andrews, who has a task as im portant as that which Pershing undertook In France, promises a better -enforcement "and a higher regard for the law of the country and as this promise -4s made good by a manifestly sincere and vigor ous' administration, of the law, this hoard and the people we rep resent,, wiH be back of it with the utmost loyalty and cooperation, for the government is not alone responsible for. a lax enforcement. Our reforji leaders slowed down and let thmsejyesytfee, pat on the defensive when, they should have advanced on all fronts. The president's appeal to the nation rings true and clear: I request of the people ob servance, ot the public officers. continuing. efforts foe enforcement and of congress, favorable action on the - budget : recommendation for tha prosecution of- this work. ,Thla is what the president asks and It, is what; he ought to have. '.He, has shown that by orderly processes prohibition has become the law of the Jand, and that It is the duty of everyone who lives under, the .protection; of our laws tq'ebserve the spirit of the law. ".President Coolidge f also told congress where the responsibility of enforcement lies when he said. rhefrAythe department of Justice ' and. treasury ; department is to enforce it. but the constitu- tldi1 ateo"putlt)Kcfflent duty on the States, We need their active- land,. energetic j cooperation, the vigilant action e-f their police and the jurisdiction, of their courts to enforce- it.'-: : v fThiS country win advance with Catyin Coolidge to the plains of loyalty and law-abiding citUenshlp or it will retfeat in the, rit of lawlessness 16 anarchy aja dis respect for our own fundamental institutions. ' .'.'The president has answered forever that, loose talk about the i amendment being irregularly put over : or representing a minority effort, lie ' has pronounced the eighteenth amendment the result of the . orderly, processes of our fundamental : - Institutions. An amendment that has three-fourths of the votes of both houses and all the states but two, doesn't look like a-minority proposition unless our whole system of government is at fault.
