What's New On The Market Salem merchants are profiteer ing on touiatoe. The retail price of three pounds for 25 cents is exorbitant and allows a profit ex ceeding 1U0 per cent. The whole sale price of tomatoes Is 3 cents a pound and by the bushel can be obtained far cheaper. Tomatoes offered by growers In great quan tities, were turned down yester day and today to keep the price at Its present level. Five cents a pound would allow a good profit and a quick turn over, for the can ning season Is at hand arid the housewife would take advantage of the reduction, A reduction In lemons this morning In the wholesale price ought to bring them down to 40 cents a dozen within the next few days when merchants are rid of stocks on hand. Oreen gage plum ore very reasonable at $1 a box. They are handled on consignment. In the majority of markets, to move at anv price, lelng to ripo for ship ment. Finn Elberta pe-tches are being offered at 40 and 50 cents a bas ket, a reduction of 10 cents In the price. Sweet potatoes are sllfrhtly cheaper, now selling for 12 Vi cents a pound. A Plebiscite Needed From De Valera's refusal of British offers of dominion! rule, it is apparent that home rule is not so much desired by Sinn Fein as the right of secession in other words, complete national independence. "There is no Ireland in the terms, but two broken pieces of Ireland," declares De Valera as the main reason for rejecting the peace proffer. That the Irish cannot agree among them selves is not the fault of the British, and if North Ireland refuses to unite with South Ireland, the latter has no right to compel it, if self-determination of peoples is to prevail. There is no more justice in southern Ireland's attempting to coerce northern Ireland than there is in Britain coercing Ireland. All that the Irish have struggled for and fought for during the centuries of British rule is realized in the British offer If it was accepted, it would only be a short time before the I Irish would unite and the commercial and industrial relations with England are so close that secession would be the last thing thought of once the hated English supervision, which long ago Io.st Its tyrannical features, was removed. The right to secede would be later acknowledged as with other British dominions, but the advantages of union would so far-outweigh those of secession as to preclude its thought. Irish-American politicians, to whom Irish agitation has meant a fat living, seem to rule Sinn Fein, and dominion rule might destroy their graft. De Valera himself is not an Irish-' man, but the son of a Spaniard, and born in New York. His chief adviser, Frank P. Walsh, is an American politician, while American adventurers fill the rank. Before final rejection of the British offer, the Irish people, both north and south, should be given a chance to vote for dominion rule or the horrors of civil war. A plebiscite would quickly determine whether or not De Valera is the voice of Ireland. 1 EZ r n (DKJt f the jclCyou have rs of yoyrown mam rig. . i . asssss hi I s (S)A woman who has no iikore "to display shows wtsdorrS , in. not dpfaym it. 8 s83.LL W the more you oppose e strong man,, the more JMovv and ihen ibe name6oosc" fits a fyirl better tban-chicKen.".

Many of the more speculative Industrials and specialties registered new low levels for the year, hut in vestment rails and steels resist ed pressure. Transportations were sustain ed by prospects of early federal relief In the form of funding pay ments and convertible bonds of that division relRlered appreci able gains In expectation of re sultant benefit. Aside from the steel trade, where a moderate lucres ot pro duction accompanied additional price cutting, no material change from long existing depression was reported. Secondary steels and equipments were under fresh Attacks and food, tobacco, sugar According to an opinion by the attorney general members of the so-called home guard organization serving during the late ure nut en tltledt o benefits under the state bonus law, and rubber shares as well as the Cheaper motors and oils, lost ground. There were numerous acces sories to the long list of dividend reductions or absolute suspensions nd shares of companies engaged In general merchandising also gave way, despite Indications of better buslneas prospects. Large withdrawals from local banks to meet government re quirements accounted for the firmness of money rates but par tial easement followed on a heavy Inflow from Interior sources, at tracted by the SH to six per cent rates. Banking opinion Inclined to further relaxation In the com ing month, especially for com mercial purposes. Education and Peace "Educate the nations and they will abandon war for peace" was the principle upon which the Pan-Pacific educational con ference, in session at Honolulu, based resolutions looking to wards a plan for spreading general information and publicity among the peoples living around the Pacific ocean, most of whom are peacefully inclined. Ignorance is, of course, one of the causes of war, but the greatest war in all history has just been fought by the best educated nations in the world, so it is questionable whether education is a war preventative, at least the imperfect educa tion of today. No country had as little illiteracy if education consists in being able to read and write as Germany, yet educated Ger-j many caused the war and perverted knowledge to scientific slaughter. Its educational system was used as a vehtele for the transfusion of misinformation. Education is of little use in preventing war, unless it teaches people to think and comparatively few people, even among the so-called educated, think and many without edu cation do. The fault is not so much with the system, al though as in Germany's case, the system was a contributing cause, as with the individual.

A Dinner Party for Madame Grundv. "1 have oftened wondered," said Mrs. Early as she leaned slightly across Duane to speak lo me alter she had expressed herself on the huiuuuness of my stories, "Just how you were able to touch that human note, for It Is one of my theories that no on can do this unless one has suffered." "That thought has often come to me," said Mr. Henderson, who, as Dab said, had "Usteaed in." "No one would think, to look at Mrs. Ilammersley tonight, that she ever had a care In the world, and yet he understands human tempta tion and human pain perfectly," "Looks ar very deceiving," said Bab. "A great deal of rot it writ ten about one's life leaving Its Im print on one's faea. The nioet beautiful woman I have ever known was perhaps the most wick ed within. She never had a kind thought about any one." "Don't try to be clever, Bab, at the e i pens ot truth," said Duane quietly, "When you are older you will know that one's life does show Itself upon one'B fsce." I looked around my dinner table and found to my surprise that ev ery one else was doing surrepti tiously the same thing. ine same inougut had come to t0 my prayer the waiters filled every one o us and Bab piped up the claret Kiassefi. with a laugh: TVaO, does any one ..TheT gnV-- Raid Mr. Henderson here think this Is the kind of com a, h4 rtiBea nl8 gias8 to his lips now adays know how to talk and say anything. Go where you will and listen twaddle, twaddle and piffle. The men are as wearisome as the women. During tha presidential campaign last fall we recall one gifted gentleman, a layman In trade, who was vehement In his denunciation of Article X. He was and is a republican and his tongue dripped in venon as he denounced the iniquitous clause. Every minute he had another war started by It, with the Jew bankers cut ting another gaping wound in Freedom's purse. Ha, Impressed many. Dne night, alone with an acquaintance who talked little and read much, he asked, "say, Bill, what is this article ten, anyway?" He didn't season his speech with the salt of knowledge. Wo hear the woman orator elate In her flights, solving world problems and Bhe buys bakers' bread. It is not hard to acquire knowledge. Soap box oratory flourishes because the average listener is wickedly Ignorant Worthy souls aid libraries and the average man or woman rarely open a book. But when a discussion arises, conversation Is general with the windiest leading. Agitators for this and that rave endlessly and are endured at public cost, when reading and study would so enlighten people that the wlndjammlng loafer would fade. And then we come to the abstruse talks on religion. Then is noted the absence of salt. The Word furnished It In abundance. lucky with my papers today and I ain't got no cush. Come along. Towser,' and he started to sunk away. " 'Here, my boy,' called the act or, 'just how much ao you want to see this show? I'll buy your dog and give you money enough for one of the best seats.' "The boy looked again at the pictures lining the theatre lobby, then he looked at his dog. 'Look here, Towser, you lost that last fight and cleaned me out. If you hadn't o' done It, I'd o' had money enough for this show,' he said as if in excuse for his betrayal of his friend. Where's the money, mis ter? Towser brought It on him self,' and he lifted the dog quickly and placed it in the actor's arms. "In a few minutes the blood money was paid and the boy, with out a look back at the little whin ing animal, went through the the atre door. "After the theatre the acor found the boy standing disconsol ately in front of the theatre. " 'Well, sonny, how did you like the show?" "The boy looked up in utter dis gust and all he said was: 'Gee, I wish I had my dog back.' " "Thank heaven," I said to my self, "we can leave the table with ' a smile," for at the end of Bab's' story I caught her eye and arose1 from the stupidest dinner! have! ever given in my life.

"For heaven's sake, Bab, why didn't you make as bright a re mark as that at the table," I an swered her as we were putting on our wraps. "Why, I thought It was a very pleasant dinner, Mrs. Hammers ley," said Mrs. Early. "Of course, 1 realize that Mr. Early was rather silent, but I knew that he was much engrossed in some business that he will have to transact In Washington tomorrow; but Mrs. Benton positively scintillated, while you are so beautiful, my dear, that you do not have to talk."
