Other writers, looking back over the pages of history, grow pessimistic and see the downfall of the republic, citing ancient states that could not withstand the shock of a city controlled government. Thomas Jefferson is quoted as fear T,tiitv of the bic- cities. It is to.be remembered, however, that there is a vast difference between the average intelligence of the city dweller of this century and those of the Greek and Roman republics. There is another phase. It is as easy to get out 82 per cent of the city vote as 50 per cent of the country vote. The city not only has the strengin " hl and readv for USC to .rriior ocrrpoa that, nn in favor of the sidewalks of New York. But there are off sets.

Watch for the overwhelming election of Herbert Hoovei in November for confirmation. "That We Have Enacted" SOME leading democrats who have been outstanding low tariff now find it expedient to throw an occasional ver bal bouquet at the republican protective tariff, just to give their audiences an idea that they have reformed. A notable instance is that of Representative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, a veteran democratic member of the lowei house. Press dispatches quote him as saying in a speech at , Olney, Illinois, recently, "The tariff protected industries art prospering on account of the fact that we have enacted foi their benefit a high protective tariff, which makes it possible for them ... to operate at a profit, and this profit is madt j possible on account of the tariff laws we have passed." Representative Rainey makes very intimate use of the per sonal pronoun. But on pulling back the curtain, it is discov ered that he voted against every one of the full protective schedules for industry in the tariff law that "we" enacted, and that be had as much to do with writing the Underwooc tariff act during the first Wilson administration as anj member of the house. That act did not protect industries On the contrary it destroyed-theprof its of many oi them; and it created bread lines and soup houses in all the big cities, and turned four to five million laborers onto tht streets and highways looking for jobs that could not bt found, till the opening of the World war put a stop to the fi nancial panic it was in the way of bringing. "While the lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner may return," however, and Congressman Rainey and all the rest of the-Raineys, in whatever size the downpour may assume, are welcome in the ranks of the protectionists, in which ought to march every person in the Kings, Queens WHEN President Coolidge last year embarked on a career as fisherman in South Dakota, he shocked all the elite of the fraternity of lzaak Walton at. home and abroad, by using worms as a bait and our Congressman Hawley tells a story to the effect that he was accused of using half worms instead of whole worms; presumably for economy's sake. Though this story is perhaps only a story. ; The rest of the world does not credit Americans with being over steeped in "culture" and it is on record whethei legendary or otherwise according to a writer in the. Belling ham. Wash., Herald, that a certain Captain Gordon, brothel of Lord Aberdeen, British secretary for foreign affairs dur ing an important period in the Oregon boundary controversy, said he "would not give one of the barren hills of Scotland for the whole Oregon country." His asserted reason was thai the bally salmon in what is now known as the American Pa cific northwest would not rise to a fly. Since the simple Americans of that day apparently did cot reck whether the salmon rose to the artificial lure or not, on seemy safe in assuming anybody in the British isles caught fishing with other than a fly would be exiled. And in spite of the copybook maxim that the great usually are simple and humble, it is doubly surprising to learn that Xueen Mary, who has been fishing at Balmoral, where she is on holi day, baits her own hook and used -worms. . . But that is not the worst. Friends found her baiting the king's fishhook. ' "She says she can do it much better than I can," his majesty, who is a normal human and a normal husband, explained. Since Mr. Coolidge graduated from the worms class, and used flies in fishing during his vacation in Wisconsin, a nat- ural inquiry is whether America has noj made a far greater stride towards "culture" than has the heart of the British empire.

Speaking of prunes- The horticultural and not the human kind, if you should visit iny of the Salem canneries now, especially when the night shifts ire packing them, you would Hke y conclude that it was a mistake bout there being a crop failure in ur prune orchards. V V The prunes roinr thronrh the Salem canneries look lfk enough o make the world "full of runes." Piles of prunes mountain high. But the bulk of our crop is Tolng through the canneries. Only i few of the prune dryers are run ling, and most of those In dis tricts where there is a considerable etite acreage, for there was not iven a near failure In our sweet rune crop. S The conclusion among many growers is that the proportion of sweet prune acreage in, this dis .rict should be increased; especial y with the large sizes, such as the oble French. We have some big crowers who are not discouraged ver the prune prospects. We may lot have another near failure in ur Italian prune crop in a long xrhlle, they reason. S S With about 20.000 young trees of the Noble French variety now ;rowing In the valley, it will not ake very long to make a respec table showing in this crop; though he possible dried prune crop of Oregon, which means the Willam ette valley and Clark county. Wash., mainly, in a hamper crop -ear, is 100,000.000 pounds or nore and prunes as we know hem now dry down nearly five :o one. .

NEW YORK These are the Days of Awe, and a fifth of the population of New York's metro, politan area has withdrawn from the city's life to observe them.
