M a THE SALEM PUBLIC SCHOOLS SaleirThas ft very good public school system. The physical equipment la buildings and apparatus is mostly up to date and kept in excellent repair. The financial condition o,f the school district is sound. , The teaching staff is above the - average in a city of Salem's size, though the wage scales are comparatively low-r-i . So we are getting more than the worth of our money in the devoted service of a splendid corps of teachers. , Modern methods are used. Our schools are being kept 1 up to date i With soiheexceptions. We should be doing better in the way of instruction in Urades. We should be teaching agriculture. ' - . i ' i This is a country of diversified industries on the land. ' Thejr are tied Aip with the industries in the city, and should be more so,; Our farm lands furnsh the raw products the j manufacturing -and merchandising of which furnish and . should furnish the chief splid support of the city, i This is pur manifest destiny ;H This joining 6f the country with the city is calculated to make both great and prosperous with an enduring kind of prosperity that cannot be shaken. With a prosperity that is fundamental. That goes back to -first causes. To prime necessities.

How many churches are like tliat isolated railroad station town, where a stranded traveler found "nothing doing; nothing to do it with; and no disposition to do it if there were?" Roosevelt once said: "I have been willing to do the thing that everybody knew ought to be done, when no one else would do it." S The Yale alumni ministers at the recent Omaha convention of the Congregational churches of the United States had a big ban quet. Just as things were getting under way the restaurant manager inquired whether Elmer Gantry were present, saying there was a telephone call for him! The prac tical joker assumed that the res taurant manager was not a great reader. V - Salem getting to be quite a town. Takes 30 pages to tell the story of the day in The Statesman of this morning.

'DRY BAPTIST FOOLS," AND OTHERS i The western editor of "The Congregationalist," leading newspaper of that denomination, attended the recent national council meeting of that church in Omaha, and ho says he asked a number of ministers and laymen attending the great ; convention if they would be willing to vote for Al Smith for president And he says: "Those who replied were almost unanimous . in" saying they would not so vote." ii j He says three or four reasons were given for this attitude.' , ,jlle goes on to give at length the reasons advanced And "he concludes with the following: "None of these objections banked so largely in the minds of these men as the fact that JJr. Smith, is a 'wet.. Our jbiinisters arid laymen are almost .nrt against' him on thisscore They still belong to - ..that f fanatical, hypocritical crowd' that .believes in the Vol stead act anXtfieTeighteenth amendrhent." The council action Vindicates that Congregationalists i are as dry as ever.

She has been held up as the inspiration of all "good, her beauty and .power sung, hy poets and writers of all ages. And she has been accused of being respon sible for most of the misery in the world. She has been told that she should stay at home and attend to her babies and housekeeping. Just as fervently she has been urged to reform the world. When she ventured into business the red flag of "the conflict of the sexes" was waved at her. What are the poor things to do? Read the letter of this young woman who is righteously indignant at a slight as she con siders it put upon her sei. "Dear Mrs. Lee: I have just rea.i a short article that made me perfectly furious. 'A woman.' it said, 'must have 25 years of study and leisure, then 20 years to pro duce and bring up her children. The rest of her life should include leisure, to inspire men with am bitious energy.' And then the person who quotes this interesting opinion adds' (and this Is the crowning insult), 'We don't nteaji to be nasty, but how many women of 4 5 or more inspire men? Or ever will?' "And how many men of 45 or over will Inspire women, or ever will. 1 should like to ask? And is it not 'just as much a matter of necessity for men to inspire wom en as for them to inspire men? If there is any inspiring to be done, each should inspire the other. As a matter of fact there are many women older than that who are inspirations not only to men their husbands and sons but to other men as well. "And you notice, Mrs. Lee, that there is no room in the above for a woman to have any life of her own to develop herself. No, her sole aim in life must be to inspire men. SUE." a Well you see, Sue, it has been a good many centuries that men have been thinking: of themselves as the center of the universe the one Job. worth while for women. It Is going to take them quite some time to get over It, and It's going to be a bit of a shock to find that they are expected to d tv bit of inspiring thmseh Women aren't going to be bt. of them aren't going to a with them atlt unless thfy ttfr ........ . ...
