Obegou TUESDAY Sepi. 4, 192S Publishers I . we wish to be just judges of all things, let us first persuade ourselves of this; that there is not one of us without fault; no man is found who can acquit himself; and he who calls himself innocent does so with reference to d witness and not to his conscience Seneca. : in The Neglected Highway " - Another Viewpoint POINTED sarcasm attends the Oregonian's reception of news that Henry Ford will establish a "museum village" for the concentration of antique, early-American homes and furnishings and for the perpetuation, in garb and activity, of plain, old-fashioned villagers. j What a ridiculous spectacle the museum village win pre sent, the Oregonian suggests, with its town green, its pump, its crier, its bowling park and its Priscillas and Johns. Waistcoated swains and velveted dames will have no motor cars; the spinning wheel will displace the bargain counter at which today's villagers battle for shoddy at a price. But, mayhap, the Oregomaii Has ovenooKea anomer uae of the picture. The antique village may anticipate happy days.! Modern ways may have deprived us of the bowling preen and its accompaniment of nut brown ale, but it has brought us purposeless speed and moonshine. We may have f oresaken the waistcoat and the oia cnurcn Deu, dot we nave the sockless flapper and her asphaltarab, to say nothing of wild night clubs. Mr. Ford's dream may re-create for us a village of coal- oil lamps and the family surrey, but who is to choose between that happy prospect and the twentieth century flare for spjot lights and juggernaughts? ; If the Ford village might restore something of the gen tility and kindliness of post-Colonial days something of the old hospitable, latch-string days ; something of the old home -.- cjrcle culture of the past, even very modern youth might find ""something- of beauty and pleasure and. peace to marvel at in these rapidly moving sometimes cynical days. How Hoover Sees Aviation j CT)ER capita we transport more than twice the goods, pas JL . sengers and express transported by any European country and one-third more mail than the liveliest of them and we transport over longer distances," says Hrrbert Hoo ver in a current magazine. We have 7500 miles of improved national airways in reg ular operation, with 207 municipal airports, 163 private and commercial ports, and 124 department of commerce landing fields. So much for the facts. Mr. Hoover's interpretation is like this: All European governments have tried to produce these results by subsidies. These he has opposed. Our has been the American 'plan of government cooperation in the same way we have given it to navigation. The government has lighted the airways, furnished charts, licensed planes for safety and aviators j or competence. "Here is your airway ; now go to it," our government has said. In most other countries the government dips into busi ness often. In America the tradition is for the government r.4'6tay out and merely furnish regulation and cooperation, f :V This is in line with Hoover's theory of "American indi I vidualism," which he stressed in his acceptance speech. This I is the philosophy that would underlie Hoover's dealing with economic pruuiems u ne snouia ue eieciea president. It might be paraphrased this way : Millions for help, but 1 A f J 1 J A nor. ope ceni ior ieaerai parmersnip or government monopoly, i I . . ' I .. ...

WASHINGTON Postmaster the voters all over the land and Is General Harry S. New and the cabinet cub. Secretary West of In. terlor. Dr. Work's successor, vir tually constituted the govern ment in Washington after Sec re tary Kellogg set sail for Paris in mid-August. There were no other cabinet members, not a corporal's guard of senators or representatives and no members of the supreme court at all in town to maintain the great triumvirate of government, legislative, executive and judicial. General New stuck out the paign left New footloose and he takes his, vacation gunning up in Northern Michigan every fall, put ting in two cracks at it, several weeks apart, to get into the sea sons of the sort of game, he likes to shoot. posx-pn Malcincr Mnfririst a 1X1 v - - a www j t a w TECENTLY, the western editor of the Congregationalist JLV inade a long auto trip, taking in the princinal points of therUnited States, including especially the New England states. He concludes that the New England speed cops, sup posed to be tinged with Puritan harshness and rigidness and i conformity to rules, "have it all over" the western speed cops I f r. in politeness to and consideration of motorists. ' ; ' Here is another hint: Racine, Wisconsin, expresses her Hospitality to wayrarmg motsnsts by having her policemen hand to each visiting driver of a car a card, reading, "This card entitles you to park your car on the streets of Racine 'Where you wish and as long as you wish. There is no time limit for you." 1 h This would not do in Salem, you probably reflect. Would .it not? Racine is a busy city of 70,000, and considers this not too great a strain to place on its hospitality. Salem is the city of welcome, according to a slogan that we ought to live up to more generally than we do do. Why not take a leaf from. Racine's book of hospitality?

New's Prospects There has seemed to be consid erable doubt as to what New will do after election in the event that Hoover wins out. Some postoffice observers think it quite likely that Dr. Work might like to retnrn to that por. tfolla under Hoover, assuming that a Hoover victory would mean the Colorado man could bare about what he wanted as a distinguished service reward for bis laborers as campaign man ager. He was practically moved out of the postofHce into interior to make, way for New when the latter lost out in the Indiana sen atorla race and was given lame duck refuge in Washington by his party chiefs. Other successful election cam paign managers like Will Hays and before that. Frank Hitch cock, found the postmaster gen eralship a desirable berth from which to exercise their political thtrti- it rets mienty close to the center link of the federal ma chine every administration con trols. The Indaina senatorial cam paign left New footlose and be had no great personal resources to fall back on, his long political service not having been condu cive to building np bank accounts. Gossip has it now, however. among New's intimate friends. that he has had more luck in the last few years with investments and can look with tranquility to. ward retirement from Washing ton public life, if that is on the cards for him. - Anything For Air Mall Incidentally, New has shared with Kellogg the credit of having accomplished things within tbeir respective cabinet fields of activ ity this year that may hare good effect for the party when the na tion goes to tbe polls In Novem ber. Kellogg put over the peace treaty; New cut the arr mail post age rate in half and has widely extended the use of air mail gen erally, transferring much of the work to private enterprise after successful government pioneering, His motto has been and still is. "anything for the air maiL" Dol lars and cents restrictions that bind other aspects of the busi ness of carrying the mails do not apply so rigidly to the air mail. By way of illustration, the new air mail stamps are pointed out. They are what Is known as a "two color job," making a double run necessary. They cost the gov ernment about a dollar a thou sand to produce as compared to a few cents a thousand for other stamns. But they are distinctive and add a psychological touch, de signed to pull additional folks in to use of the air mail routes, CLICKS That headline "Gene Knocks London Cold" doesn't click, as most Americans find the British capital that way all tbe time. Now that Cal has cured a fly fisherman of swaggering, let's turn him loose on our golf cours es.

' - - - i A New Yorker at Large T?r I Tt Qav11Anr V V VaT w aaratH NEW YORK. The claim is of ten made for Westchester county. which bounds New Tork on the north, that it is the richest subur ban county in the United States; and it is as often disputed by Nor folk county, Massachusetts, and Lake county, Illinois. Norfolk county lies south of Boston, and Lake county on the Lake Michigan shore north of Chi cago. All three are covered with rich estates and country Beats. Lake county has its Ravinia sum mer opera. - Norfolk county has. at Brookline a country club to distinguish that it is known sim ply as "The Country Club." But Westchester county has opened this summer, in fresh to ken of its opulence, a S5,00.000 recreation pot near Rye on Long Island Sound, built for the public by the Westchester county park commission. It is by far the' most elaborate amusement park maintained in the country from county funds, the eemmissioneni declare. And although it is Intended, primarily for Westchester county's 46u.0tv residents, it has already become a new playground for New Yorkers. Boats and buses and commutation traina carry thither hundreds oi city dwellers daily. There is a broad beach; the cen tral avenue surrounds- a plaza of elase-trimmed lawn and hedges and banks of petunias; the archi tecture is so uniform throughout that even the signs over hot dogs, ice cream and confectionery booths are all of the same size and design. There are slides and steeplechases and; roller coasters and Cojey Island has another rK A Musical Journey The rising orchestra pit has been Incorporated - in the newer motion picture theatres all over the land, hat it is only seven years Broadway. Credit for devising it is given to Earl Carroll, who built it into his. new theatre in 1921. It rises and falls on a simple eleva tor principle. The principle in varied forms has been employed elsewhere. Florenz Ziegf eld moved a whole stage scene forward in one of his productions, and presentation mo tion picture bouses frequently em ploy a false stage on which an or chestra is moved forward or hack. Now Carroll has added another touch. In his current Broadway (show Vincent Lopes' orchestra Is unveiled in midstage on a plat form which moves forward aa the musicians play, crosses the foot Lights, and comes to rest on the raised orchestra platform, whence the-whole group is lowered, still playing, into the- pit as the next scene is presented on the stage. As near as we can make out, if the farm boy of today paid as much attention to the plow as he does to the flivver, more farm problems would be solved at home. Commenting upon presentation of a St. Bernord dog to Al Smith, the Corvallis Gazette-Times re calls that it is tbe St. Bernard"! which carries around a key, of rum strapped to its neck in the Alps. Josephus Daniels declared pro hibition "a phantom." If so the democrats are seeing a lot ofJ ghosts these days. 1 Walking from Salem to Port land for a prize seems sort of fu tile. Now if the 'walkers were leaving Portland for Salem they'd have something worth while to strive for as an objective. The Statesman hopes you had a nice outing over Labor Day. Leaving Him Alone Not long ago I heard a young mother cheerfully say: "Janet just hates being left with a stranger. So I never tell her when her father and I go ont for ( the evening. She thinks we always I stay right in tbe next room. I really don't know what she "would j do if she ever woke up and found I tnat we naa leu ner alone with a l strange person. , j If Janet's mother really did knew, not only what her child would de. but also what she would think and feel, her attitude would be neither so noncnalent nor so complacent. Without doubt when Janet does wake up some night she will cry with fear and loneliness. If this were alL Janet's mother might be philosophical and say that we all have to learn to take disappointments. But it will not be all. The sharp fear of waking in the night to be confronted by a strange face will affect ber child deeply. For a long while after she may not feel safe even in the day time If her mother is out of sight. Her dark room will become an unfriendly place full of potential horrors. Thus she will be more dependent than ever on her moth er's presence, and she may never overcome her fear of the dark. Such a shocking experience may be followed by insomnia or light and fitful sleep. The thought that during her sleep her parents may desert her will be enough to prevent her surrendering her self to that deep and peaceful re laxation which her growing body needs. Along with her sense of secur ity, her respect for her parents will be diminished. How can sne respect people who deceive, as she herself has been told never te do? Her mother, in forfeiting her child's respect, has lost a nec essary condition of discipline and a good share of her influence in molding her child's character. When parents are going out , . i . 1 1 I. IT -1 nnlto 1 tney rausi? iei m emm h -"-frankly what to expect. They must try to make him feel that he is afe and well cared for. Aitnougn this method of handling the sit uation mav cause tears the nrsi r. timoi hn will soon learn to adjust himself to the inevitable. Listen In We are glad we didn't have to print the personal opinions of some people regarding newspaper reporters. Finding a pontoon fm Amundsen's plane leads to the conclusion that the Arctic ex plorer perished somewhere at sea. Thus another dark chapter of his tory is closed. "By their notebooks you shall know them" apparently goes for Salem's attitude toward reporters. Despite all the Inventions and devices which science has contriv ed , for the protection , of ships at seal. Including the miraculous , ra dio, an old-fashioned fog apparent ly causes as many accidents today as in years gone by. Bert Hassell and Parker Cram er, enroute by air from Rockford, 111., to Stockholm, are safe in Greenland. A fact at which the whole world rejoices.
