SHOULD
HAVE ANOTHER
THE 'PRUNE DAY.

California has inaugurated 'Raisin
Day." for the purpose of advertis-
ing that delicious product. 1t might
be a good thing for Salem to have a
raisin day of its own, only calling it
"Prune Day" There is no dried
fruit in the world equal to the prune,
and no section in the world, not even
France, that can raise prunes equal
to those of the Willamette valley.
A Cherry Day" in the spring and a
"Prune Day" in the fall would even

firecrackers and sore thumbs of the
Fourth of July and the worldwide

means let Salem have a "Prune Day"

and not party lines, did the work, say
leaders on both sides.
''While the result may be justly
heralded as a great Democratic vic
tory" said one man, "it is no less a
victory such as progressive Repubh-
cans have been winning both East
and West. 1t is the sort of victory
that has been won over the things
Cannon stood for, and a victory for
the ideals and the things that Cover
nor Hughes stands for in New York. )"
Tariff the Center of Fight.
In many ways the politicians say
the Havens victory parallels the Foss
victory in Massachusetts. The cam
paign was similar to that in Massa-
chusetts, where Eugene Foss defeat
ed w. r. Buchanan, Republican, by
an overwhelming plurality in a Re-
publican district.
The tariff was the center of the
fight in both districts.
Havens today is being talked of as
the possible candidate of his party
for governor of New York. 1t is in
this connection that the fact.wa re-
viewed that he had been warm sup
porter of Governor Hughes.
He is the only Democrat today be-
ing mentioned for this place, and, un-
less he desires to go back to congress
at the end of his brief term, he will
doubtless be nominated for governor
by his party in September, politicians
predict.

We have the word of a New York
magistrate that his salary of $1,000
year is scarcely big enough to enable
him to pay the expected tips at the
New York restaurants. The magis-
trate in question was called upon to
settle the matrimonial disputes of a
waiter and his wife. incidentally he
asked what pay the waiter received
and he was told s29 a month. And
how much in tips?" inquired the magis-
'trate. The waiter hesitated ard final

The love of dirt is among the earliest

pies crafty one of our first and best
instincts. So long as we are dirty,
we are pure. Fondness for the ground

about the world, and taken the wind

The Rule of tie Road.

There appears to be no definite rec.
ord explaining the prevailing custom
of turning our vehicles to the right
in this country. One authority says
that 1t grew out of the fact that in our
early colonial days, before the arrival
of rigs for pleasure driving, the
DRYERS of heavy vehicles used in
transportation fell into the way of
turning to the right
The English custom of turning to
the left is an ancient one. 1t obtains
in practically all of the British prov.
inces. A grizzled driver in Bermuda,
asked once why all drivers turned to
the left, explained that it was done 50
they could see just how much room
they had.
