RIOT STAGED AT GAME
Salem Is not one of those un
fortunate communities whose peo
ple" have become so effete that
patriotism and its expression on
patriotic holidays has fallen into
disrepute. The thousands of peo
ple who turned out on Armistice
day for the parade and the me
morial exercises, "were ample
proof that the people of Salem and
the surrounding territory, are not
ashamed of their . patriotic feel
ings. . , . 4 - r , . -
Two things are to' be said of
the Armistice day parade; it star
ted promptly, and it was the most
elaborate procession ever .- held
here on such an occasion. . ; s
The. exercises in .front "of the
courthouse, too, were thorough
ly appropriate, to the day. The
keynote of 'Armistice day . was
sounded by Jay H. Upton, - state
senator from .Bend, who in the
address - of the day declared that
this holiday Is not observed to
honor the millions of soldiers who
returned nor the . hundreds of
thousands who failed to return,
but is a yearly reminder of the
stupidity and futility of wars, and
an ; expression of thanksgiving
that the great war has ended and
that there is hope for a cessation
of all wars. :
A . great stride In that -direction
can be made, the prominent Spanish-American
war ' veterans- de
clared, if laws can be passed
which will conscript all worker
and iall property for government
use in case of war, instead of
drafting only the able bodied men.
