There are too many people holding back just now.
It is one of the greatest causes of the high cost of living.
Too many businessmen holding back their expansion
and development plans. "
' Too many farmers cultivating less land than they
could cultivate, or cultivating their acres less intensively
than they could, or, raising fewer cattle, sheep and hogs
than they could. ,
Too many men are holding back from accepting jobs
because the jobs offered are not quite good enough to
suit them.1;''''.'" :'.'', "!''!: 'V...".:'';T,".CH".
; Too many miners and factory workers and other
kinds of workers doing less work than they are able to
do, and in many cases doing less than they are paid for,
Too manv unions asking shorter hours, when their
hours are already as short as any energetic and patriotic
citizen has any right to expect in the present state of
; affairs.
The great battle-cry of the war years was speed up
production. The nation speeded up. Nearly everybody
did his part. This is mainly what won the-war.
: The need this year is almost as urgent as it was last
vear and the vear before. The war losses must be made
upthe losses in wealth, and. the losses in life which
produces wealth. : . "
During the war . the world consumed more than it
produced. Now it must produce more than it consumes
for a while, to make things even. When that is accom
plished it will be time to even up.
Salem will be the most widely advertised city in the
United States before the year is over. Not only will
there be the newspaper and magazine advertising of the
PheK loganberry juics company, the King's Products
Company and the Oregon Fruit Growers' Association,
but loganberry juice bottles, packages of dehydrated
fruits and vegetables and canned 'goods bearing a Salem
label will be on the shelves of all grocery stores and re
freshment places in the United States and in many foreign
countries. This world-wide publicity is goine to make a
0,000 city of Salem within the next few years. See if it
doesn't!

THE TREES.
The trees have music of their own, a soft and soothing
monotone, that lulls a man to rest; I have a volume to per
uke, but, under them, I snore and snooze, my chin upon
my breast. To sit beneath a swaying birch is much like
being in a church; your drowsy eyelids close; and to the
realms of dreams you hie, until an active, loathsome fly
camps down upon your nose. ,How often I have lain
awake until I saw the morning break, and slumber would
not come; and I would sadly leave the hay, to face an
other toilsome day, all punk and on the bum. My nights
are often things of dread, I toss around upon my bed,
and find no comfort there; but when I sit beneath a tree,
the sweet restorer comes to me, its coattails in the air.
The trees have voices sad and sweet, their world-old music
they repeat, a solemn, sylvan choir; the same old. song
they used to sing when Earth was but a half -baked thing,
and mortals worshiped fire. They croon their mournful
lullaby while men are born, grow up and die, they -sigh
with every breeze: and when I quit this vale of tears I
hope to sleep a million years beneath the nodding trees.

THE WOMEN LINE UP.
Republican and Democratic women, as well as those
of independent political faith, are organizing for work
during the next presidential campaign.
It is a rare time for women interested in politics to
begin their education. In large , numbers they will cast
their first presidential vote at. a moment when the most
important political issues are at stake arid questions of the
oldest and the newest policy are presented for decision.
r. It will be to a certain extent a masculine campaign,
since the chairmanship of both national committee is held
by ,men,i men constitute the committees. But there will
be the opportunity for the wide-eyed women to accumu
late political learning on a big scale. By 1924 women
may have a voice not only in the final voting but in the
forming of platforms as well. It is a good thing to pre
pare for future responsibility by close study of political
methods and principles in the present vital. period. '
Chas. V. Galloway, the last democrat in the state
house and the only one who survived the last administra
tion, has refuted the old saying that "democrats never
resign Dy quitting his state job for a better paying one
in private business. Galloway's qualifications for this
particular laborious and intricate job of fixing up cor
poration tax schedules were such that it was felt that it
might make a good deal of trouble to displace him with a
political striker so he was allowed to remain. At this
time Mr. Galloway will be succeeded by Mr. Lovell who
has had many years experience in the office which no
doubt fits him for the duties so well performed by his
predecessor. ' '
The best argument in favor of the League of Nations
is found in the opposition of Sherman, Borah and Poin
dexter the tin-horn politicians of the senate, v

that Carranga's bandit reservation is not included in-it.

A Good Business Outlook.
-'Business .'conditions, gencrnlly speak
ing, are hopeful. Should labor settle
down -to a more norinnl Attitude im
provement may be expected for the rea
son that many enterprises and eiilnrge
mef.ts are still pigeonholed awaiting
more stable conditions. The American
harvest is progressing, and while our
yield of wheat is below early expecta
tions it is much above the average and
will be highly profitable in the aggre
gate. The corn crop will also be large
at very high prices. Cotton is a short
crop,- but a good surplus is left from
last year and growers of this staple are
also making good money. As a whole
the farming classes are exceptionally
prosperous. So, too, are the industiriiil
land mercantile classes. The high cost
0f living question, which is chiefly f eft
m the cities, seems to be near the , o
