The triweekly service from San Francisco, Portland and Seat

Salem will not get into line with this development any
too soon, with its already authorized airport.
Immigration From Mexico
CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON
V suggests that immigration from any country south of the
32d parallel of latitude, which corresponds with the Mexican
border, shall not in any year exceed emigration of citizens oi
the United States to that particular country in the preceding
' year '...,..
Which would cut off nearly all the people coming not
only from Mexico but also from every Central and South
American country.
There are protests from California. The Stockton Rec
ord says that in the case of Mexicans a recent check made in
that state indicates no flood from below the Bio Grande; the
official figures showing a decline in immigration from that
country, notwithstanding much' talk about the inefficiency
of the border patrol
And the Stockton papef says that among many Califor

I Why Women Are for Hoover
MRS. THOMAS G. WINTER, former president of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's clubs, is a staunch advocate
of Herbert Hoover for president. In a recently issued pamph
let, Mrs. Winter gives as the
Want Herbert, Hoover" the fact that he has been a standard
bearer of the American flag all. over the world: because he
does not talk politics, he lives statesmanship; because he is
the very type of an American because of Tjtfhat he is doing for
homes and children; because he knows the actual tasks ol
government; because of his
labor; and because he is the

Major Charles Bolton Hamble deserved the first full mil
itary funeral ever held in Salem, which honored him vester
i day. His untimely death came on account of lack of reserve
strength, due to hardships suffered in five enirasremenU in

instead of puffing, stinking trac

Army poloers are mighty busy
iround Washington Just now.
They are hoping for a third go at
their twice defeated rivals of the
British army next year. Every af
ternoon sees them surging about
the huge green polo lot down be
side the placid Potomac fighting
it out in hopes of getting a crack
at the Britishers, if they should
challenge. ,
And they have solved the ques
tion of referee to their own com
plete satisfaction. The job has
been intrusted to a general offi
cer. Brigadier General E. E.
Booth, chief of the G-4 section.

a bit red of face. So rank helps to
make Booth an actual as well as
a theoretical cxar of polo fouls.
Unlucky on Wheels
But civilians show no such re
speet for the general. Recently,
riding- from Virginia back to
Washington in his own new and
shiny car. he stopped at a nctdog
stand for refreshments and park
ed well out of the road to the
rirht. His nrecantions were use
less. Another motorist whooped
around the corner in a round
house curve and chewed off all
the left side fenders and a wheel
on the general's oar. That was
bad, but a week or sor later when
the restored and revarnished ma
chine rolled up to the war depart
ment, Booth embarked at once for
the polo battle ground. When ne
got there he drove the machine
well ud on the grass to avoid fur
ther possible damage and went to
referselng.
It was "useless. In ten minutes a
loud "blam" from the region or
the ID-fated Booth car announced
new disaster. The general gallop
ed over to find a strange automo
bile deeply imbedded in his car's
rear construction and a perspir
ing, apologetie driver who told of
a polo-excited wife nuagmg n
elbow Just at the wrong moment.
Saddle a Veteran
The high ranking polo foul crar
is quite a sight when he mounts
for action. In these non forma
tion forays, he insists on using a
much prised Saumur bridle with
the embossed seal of that great
French cavalry school shining
like a breast plate on his horse's
chest. He has used it, and the
same horse, since his days as
commandant t the Fort Riley
cavalry shcools and ribald com.
ments by his cavalry colleague
that it looks more like mooring
tackle for a battleship than horse
furniture move him not.

gon to date, with less than a
month in which to register for the
general election, totals 316,113
members of all parties as compar
ed to 359,236 registered prior to
the general election two years
ago, according to a statement is
sued Tuesday by Secretary of
State Koser.
Of the total registration 221.-
465 are republicans, 82,963 are
democrats, 552 progressives, 842
prohibitionists, 1275 socialists and
9017 are classified as miscellan
eous.
While the figures may not
agree with those of county clerks
in the various counties. Kozer
points out that the state figures
probably are more nearly correct
as they represent the bona fide
registration after the dead wood
has been eliminated through the
cooperation of postmasters in the
various towns.
"In some of the cities and towns
as many as 25 per cent of the
voters pamphlets are undelivered
by reason of the removal of the
voter from the county," Koser
points out.

NEW YORK
Twenty million,
theater tickets are sold every year
to plays and musical shows in New
York, bringing through box office
windows, as nearly as anybody can
estimate, more than $50,000,000.
Eighty theatres, with seats for
more than &0.000 persons, are de
voted to the drama; nor does this
take account of any of the scores
of motion picture and vaudeville
houses.
Some seven thousand players,
from stars to chorines, earn their
living In New York theatres, com
prising the casts of the 300 or
more productions generally un
veiled here in the course of a year.
Yet the theatre business is so
uncertain that compared to it,
speculation in stocks or drilling
for oil seems almost a sure thing.

RENTS must stand together
When fathers and mothers
disagree In matters touching
the lives of their children, the re
sult of confusion, and ths objec

tained.
In a certain home ths parents
differed radically in their atti
tudes toward schooling. The
'mother had sent the children to a
modern school. The father
thought new fangled educational
ideas were all nonsense. He fre
quently voiced his disapproval of
his wife's choice over the break
fast table. In the presence of the
youngsters.- Being accustomed to
respect the opinions of both par
ents, tney were bewildered. Their
enthusiasm for school was damp
ened. When lessens were not dons It
was a fine excuse to sar that
school was no good anyway. Their
interest in their studied and their
wholehearted participation in
school life suffered as a result of
the conflict at home.
One mother exacted strict obedi
ence of her little daughter. Her
father on the other hand always
pleaded for lenience. Occasional
ly the mother gave way to this
pressure. The child could never
be sure that disapproval and pun
ishment would always follow her
transgressions. She knew that it
depended on whether it was father

The evil effects of such cross
purposes are apparent. Differenc
es among parents are reflected in
the confusion of ths child. How
shall he know what is worthwhile
and what is foolish, what Is right
and what is wrong? To put this
burder of -decision on ths young
child is most unfair. For during
his early years hs needs nothing
so mnch as the assurance that his
parents know what is right. If
they disagree among -themselves
the child's world becomes a wil
derness. Parents, being human, are
bound to differ now and then In
their ideas of what Is wise for
their, children. Certainty, these
differences are worthy of discus
sion. But parents most thresh
them out in prirata untn they are
