CapitalJtJournal ' Salem, Orcffon An Independent Kewspnper I'uhMnhcrl Kvory Kvcnlnrr Kxcopt Sunday Telephone 8; Nowa 82 CJKOKCiia PUTNAM, Kdltor and PuhJirther BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY But now, O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our putter; and we all are the work of ihxj hand. Isaiah 0J,:S. The Mexican Crisis President Callus of Mexico has replied defiantly to the rather insolent wiii'iiing issued by Secretary of State kellogg in which the luttcr asserted that the administration will sup port the government in Mexico "only so long as it protects American lives and American rights" and "complies with its international engagements and obligations" as "conditions are not entirely satisfactory." President Callus accuses Secretary Kellogg of assertions contrary to fact and asserts it his duty to "rectify saidj statements as required by truth and justice." The Mexican government is "determined to comply with obligations imposed by international law" but "no nation may pretend to create a privileged situation for its nationals in Mexico," nor will this government accept any foreign interference "contrary to the rights of the sovereignty of Mexico." As both communications were given to the press before being delivered, this threatened breach cannot be blamed on secret diplomacy, other than the secret pressure of American exploiters in Mexico upon the administration, and the secret pressure being exerted upon Oalles by radical forces responsible for his election. Back of tho controversy lies on the one side the antagon ism of the American oil, mineral and other big business investors to any administration interfering with their exploitation of Mexican resources. Throughout the Taft, ' Wilson and Harding administrations they clamored noisily for armed intervention by the United States to protect American property and lives declared in danger, with the object of annexing the southern republic to insure security for the American dollar. On the other side is the latent hostility of Mexicans for the hated "Gringo," the patriotic cry of Mexico for Mexicans, lest the nation be robbed of its freedom by the republic to the north, and tho radical and socialistic influences that have confiscated the large estates and given them to Uie people, and have passed restrictive legislation designed to restore national resources also. With these two conflicting forces at work, each seeking its own ends, a clash between the two nations is likely any time hot-heads of either can control (heir respective governments. School Failure Over one ncrcent of the total population oC Salem Rrada iiLcil from the hiirh school this year which reflects the increase in education which is crowding educational institu tions from primary to university. Yet the increased schooling has not made for increased efficiency or increased montulHv or imnroved citizenship, tor education is not substitute for intellect and industry. Indeed it is a debatable mips! ion whether education, above fundamentals, does not nun morn than it makes. In addressing the graduating class of the University of rnWjwtn. Rwnvtarv of the Interior, Hubert VvorK, arraigncu the jazz spirit of the day as responsible to a degree for the failure of education. He remarked, among utiior inings.

All that education can do is to train a person to make the most of his or her abilities. Intellect is a product of heredity rather than environment and schooling is not a substitute for brains. We expect too much of our schools when we expect them to make good inherited mental limitations, and so, much of the educational efforts is sheer waste. It has always been a favorite illusion of democracy that nil mankind are created equal mentally and all that society had to do was to supply schooling to insure brains, a theory whose fallacy our expensive school system has convincingly proven. my niinii oft my troubled.

Draw a circle, representing fifty miles in diameter, letting the circumference tako in all of Salem and all of Portland, nearly to the Columbia river. With a map (on a scale of 40 miles to the inch( a silver half dollar will very nicely aid in mak tug the circle. Notice the cities located in the circle. There is Oregon City, Hillsboro, McMinn ville, Newherg, Siiverton. Scotts Mills, Woodburn, Aurora, Gervais, Wolalui, and two or three dozen other smaller places. Now fifty miles is the distance across i large city. a l mo ratio or increase in pop illation such as would naturally bo expected in the next ten years, this valley home circle could eas ily become almost a city with pav ed streets, factories, electric street cars and flying machines; and in ten years more is it a dream? Think what has happened cince 160 acres, where Portland now stands, was offered in exchange for a logging outfit. See what has taken place in Salem and in Sil ver ton even in the last ten years. Look at our automobile method of travel nnd transfer of goods that has suddenly sprung up. Wake up Mr. Pessimist and know that tho "world do move," and that land in this circle that now sells for $150 per acre will soon sell for more than that per lot. Millions of people will come to this home valley a soon as they know that this is the most logical place on the Pacific coast for a real city. Men of money and of energy are coming. Producers of wealth will come from every conn try under the eun. We will learn tho lesson of cooperution, aud, with our ocean trade increasing every day with the orient, with our wonderfully rich supply coun try, north, east and south of lis, with a climate, better than that enjoyed by ai.y other large city in the United States, with no de structive heat, cold or storms, with our garden soil, with out pure water, with our most lus cious fruit, with our wat ;r power, with our timber and with our many untouched resou recti, our great city of the valley will be built. Optimists, you are the only kind that can build a city. Get busy "sow the seed; wit lid raw the curtain; clear the way!" J. E. IIOSMEU.

"tho alarming organizations of youth--ful criminal are not being recrut ed from working boys nor do working girls become a prey to sox reactions.
