A "BARB" PRESIDENT
Up at Corvallis, as at Eugene, they think more about fra
ternities and sororities than they do. elsewhere in Oregon;
- though Salem is coming gradually into the same category
with a fight on to make the Willamette university fratern
ities and sororities national in their affiliations. The Corval
lis Gazette-Times, in its leading editorial on Thursday; pub
lished before the voting at Kansas City, had the following in
P leading editorial: '
"If political straws have anything to do with indicating the
direction and velocity of the ambient atmosphere, it looks
at the present writing as though this United States might
have its destinies presided over for the next four years by a
man who does not' wear upon his expansive bosom the fra
ternity pin of any Greek society. During his college career
: Herbert Hoover was an outstanding member of the lnaepen
dents at Stanford, and Alfred E. Smith who never got beyona
the sixth grade in high school had no opportunity for annex
in to himself what the college boy jocularly refers to ai
Greek hardware. The White House at present may be saic
. , i . .
to be 100 per cent Greek, president uooiiage wears upoi
bis vest the pin of the Phi Gamma Deltas, while the charminj
and popular First Lady of the land wears the arrow of the
Pi Beta Phi. Vice President Charles G. Dawes is a membei
of Delta Upsilon, while across the hall in the house of repre
sentatives presides Nicholas Lohgworth, Zeta Psi.
"Hoover worked his way through Stanford by waiting or
table at the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house. It wa.
here that he met and courted Lou Henry and finally marriec
her. At the time of this event of considerable importance ii
their young lives, the sorority sisters of Mrs. Hoover were
very much shocked and embarrassed in a social way because
Herb, a struggling young student in the Engineering depart
ment without a cent to. his name, or a tuxedo to his back, hac
had the temerity to woo and win one of their sisterhood. It
was shocking, it was outrageous, it was almost lese majestic
Their actions and the attitude of the Stanford fraternity mer.
toward him are responsible undoubtedly for the feeling that
be had as a young man against the fraternity system."
mouth information are hotel clerks, and tourist camp, garage
and service station employes. : . r
Why can thechamber of commerce not go a little farther
and establish a school for those who come of tenest in con
tact with the motor tourist? At this school methods of im
parting information, about the Lane county area could be
studied, and complete and accurate data regarding the var
ious vacation areas could be assembled and discussed so that
it can be given out more accurately and intelligently.
(This suggestion of the Eugene Register is a good one. It
would work well in Salem. A help in that direction would be
a map of the Salsra district, and around the map, or on the
back of it, brief mention of the attractions and advantages
that Salem and her trad e territory have to offer to tourists
This printed matter need not be expensive. It should be in the
hands of every one likely to come into contact with tourists.
The Salem Chamber of Commerce might prepare and place
the circulars. Ed.)
STILL WATER IN THE) WILLAMETTE
It will not make the great common people of the United
States love Herbert Hoover less because he was a "barbarian"
on the campus of Stanford university when he was
student there
Shut out from the ranks of the blue bloods who, some ol
them, at least, thought a boy who was so poor that he had tc
wait on the tables of a sorority house in order to make hii
way through school was in a class beneath their exclusive
circles
Though such feelings are not the" rule but are rather tht
exception at our own Oregon State university and Oregor
Agricultural college; and much less so at our Willamette uni
rersity. ; In this connection, a correction of more or less general im
pression, or report, ought to be made.
The Lou Henry of the Stanford student days of Herbert
Hoover was not a Salem girl. She was a California girl. The
Salem report has had it of late that she was of the Henry
family living at that time on D Street in Salem.
There were two of the Henry girls in Salem. The older
Miss Henry of Salem was Emilie, and she married James
Taylor Burcham of Salem, who was a student at Stanford
while Herbert Hoover and United States Senator Chas. L
McNary were also students. Mr. Burcham died, and Mrs.
Btzrchman is now at the head of the women's department ol
the Old National bank at Spokane, a very responsible place,
with one of the largest banks of our sister state.
Mathel Henry, the younger Henry girl, was married
Spokane and lives there now.
"Conferred today with board of army engineers con
eerning river and harbor improvements and projects in Ore
gon and advised that local engineers in Portland had not made
report on improvement of Willamette river between Salem
and Portland. There is no particular haste at this time be
;ause the river and harbor legislation bill did not pass at this
session but is on the house calendar, and if the information
is. in hand by fall it will be in sufficient time in my judg
ment. I have asked the Chief of Engineers, General Jadwin
to visit Oregon this summer. He probably will, at which time
I hopewe may be able to present to him the very great need
of this improvement and the benefit it would be to those liv
Ing in the valley south of Portland."
The above is the language of a dispatch sent on Thursday
afternoon to the Salem Chamber of Commerce by United
states Senator Chas. L. McNary.
It shows that Senator McNary is on the job.
This is a matter that must be followed up; that must be
pursued everlastingly
It means still water in the Willamette; a boating stage the
year through from Salem to Portland ; and on up to Euzene
This should have been provided long ago. It is the business
jf the United States government. It will mean a higher nrice
for every pound and bushel and bale and package of the
products of tht, whole valley. It will mean waW connection
all up and down the valley with all the great deep sea Dorts
jf the world, with only a cheap transfer in the harbor of
Portland to ocean going vessels. It is coming, of course, in the
very nature of things
And it should be on the way quickly.

GOOD IDEA FOR SALEM, TOO
(Eugene Register)
Stopping the tourist is an important problem in Oregon,
and a special committee of the chamber of commerce is try
ing this year an interesting experiment along that line.
It is sending into the cities of southern Oregon and north
ern California a lecturer who will be equipped with attractive
motion pictures of the scenery of this region. These pictures
will be shown to vacationists who: are .headed this wayv
, The idea is to interest them in the Eugene area before they
. v get here, so that before they arrive they will make plans to
: stop. It is a sound idea, because most travelers make their
plans a day or two ahead and follow these plans rather close
ly. - . - : i
, It is estimated that from 90,000 to 100,000 care from out
side of Oregon will pass over the Pacific highway this year,
and every one of these cars will contain people with money to
spend. . .. , . . .:'
, Manifestly, the region that succeeds in stopping the most
' . of these cars will profit. likewise, these vacation travelers
themselves will prof it, for they are out to see Oregon, and
they can not see Oregon adequately by driving at high speed
over the Pacific highway.
So stopping the motor tourist is a mutual enterprise, pro
fitable both to the tourist and to the community. vj,

HOUSTON. Texas. June 15.
(AP). The republican party
turned its back on the east by
nominating Herbert Hoover and
Senator Charles Curtis, Clem
Shaver, chairman of the national
democratic committee, declared
here today in a pre-convention
statement.
"There Is no precedent for thia
western republican ttcaet, Sha
ver said. "It is politically unbal
anced and seems to ignore poten
tial voting strength the republi
can tickets have enjoyed in pre
vious years."
The farm bogey. Shaver said
may have betrayed the republi
cans into a serious pre-campaign
mistake and he intimated that the
democrats have been looking for
ward to a stronger combination
than the Hoover-Curtis ticket.
"Senator Curtis is true and
tried." continued the democratic
leader, "and he has proved his ad
herence to administration instruc
tions and policy In farm matters
during the late years of strife,
while at the same time he has
maintained popularity with
constituents.
'The nominees should balance
each other, and Mr. Hoover is ab
solutely colorless. To ge him to
take a stand on anything is next
to impossible.
Yet, Mr. Hoover is the one
man in American political life to
day who has had ample opportun-
ty to form personal opinions that
mieht be at variance with the
present foreign policy of the Unit
ed States."
Shaver predicted that In extend
ins: a hand to the west with the
Hoover-Curtis ticket, the republi
can party failed to consider that
the electoral votes in several
western states are not equal to
those in a single strong eastern
state.
Concede the republican nom
inees their states," he explained.
'and this clearly will show the
present pre-campaign complexion
of the electoral college."
In the office of the democratic
national committee there hangs a
chart which gives tn electoral
college strength of conceded re
publican states with Hoover and
Curtis as the nominees. These
votes total 204. with 267 neces
sary for election. Of the remain
der. 95 are classified as doubtful
battlegrounds in the campaign.

YMD Dinner Compliments
Newly Married President
Yesterday evening at 6:30 a
dinner was given at the Salem
YMCA complimenting Fred Dun
can, who for the .past year has
been president of the Young
Men's division. Mr. Duncan has
recently been married, and the
dinner was in the nature of a cel
ebration of this happy event.
Mr. and Mrs. Duncan were pre
sented with a set of waffle dishes
by Mr. Duncan's "gang."
Those present for the affair
were the honor guests, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Duncan, Mr. and Mrs.
Rof Miles, Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Kells. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Hillman,
Tinkbam Gilbert. Miss . Orrel
Powell, Keith Brown, Colby Harn-
den and Ben Rickli.
After the dessert a procession
was formed. In the lead rode the
bride in a one-horse wagon; im
mediately following Fred Duncan
pushed a baby buggy in which
rode Baby Kells. The procession
left the "Y" about 7 o'clock and
marched down Court street to
Commercial, south to State, east
to Cottage, north to Court and
back to the "Y."
The baby assured Mrs. Duncan
that she was a charming bride.
and that the crowd was pleased
to welcome her as one of its number.
More rooms in the attic of the
high school building and in the
basements of other buildings will
be necessary to accommodate the
nrVin wilt aelr admission to
Salem's public schools In Septem
ber, Superintendent George W.
Hug declared in his talk at the
Lions club luncheon Friday.
The increase last year was
greater than one new building, the
Leslie junior high, would provide
room for, and the old Washing
ton school building was pressed 5
into service after lying idle for1
several years, the superintendent
pointed out. The Leslie building
was crowded ' beyond its capacity '
the first year.
The gain last year was 357 pu
pils. In the eight years that Mr.
Hug has been at the head of the
schools here, the total enrollment
has grown from 8595 to 1467 pu
pils, an Increase of 51.5 per cent.
This would make Salem's popula
tion now a little over 27,000, If
general population has kept pace
with school enrollment.
The high school enrollment has
grown 68 per cent, junior nigns
62.5 per cent and the grades 41
per cent.
The $500,000 bond issue voted
in 1923 tor new scnooi Dunaings
has nearly all been Bpent, thg.
items being 1100.000 for the higffr
school annex, 8220,000 for-Par -rish
junior high, $120,000 for Les
lie junior high, and $10,000 for
remodeling the high school build
ng a year ago.
School expense is 88 per cent
devoted to salaries and 78 per
:ent to teachers' salaries, the su
perintendent said. Fuel accounts
for eight per cent. Repairs and
maintenance takes 2.5 per cent,
and insurance on money borrowed
from time to time, 1.5 per cent.
Eight years ago the district
was $75,000 behind on warrants,
but this has been wiped out. There
arere also bonds in the amount of
(100,000 dating from many years
'.go. This debt has been reduced
0 $34,000.
The- construction bonds are be
ng retired at the rate of 10 per
'ent annually, so that when it is
lecessary to vote more for this re
sponse, the district will not have
1 high bonded debt.
The tax levy this year was 13.2
mills, exactly the same as laV'
year, valuation having increased a -
million dollars.
