"The president under his constitu-
tional authority gets no power to de-
clare the objects and purposes of any
wal in which the country may be en-
gagged and cannot make a treaty of
peace without the approval of the SEN
ate. l command this thought to those
gentlemen both in and out of public
office who condemn all efforts either
by the people or their representatives
in g TO discuss terms of peace,
or who even venture to suggest that
a peace is not desirable until such time
as the president, acting solely on his
responsibility, shall declare for peace.
cit is a strange doctrine we hear
these days, that the mass of the people
who pay in money, misery and blood
all the costs of this wal out of which
a favored few profit so largely, may
not freely and publicly discuss terms
of peace.
1.-THE universal conviction of those
who vet believe in the rights of the
people is that the first steps toward
the prevention of war and the establish
ment Of permanent peace is to give
the people who must bear the brunt OF
wars awful burdens more to say about

sfAnd because there is no clearness Of
understanding, no unity of opinion IN
this country on the part Of the people
as to the conditions upon which we are
prosecuting this war or what the spe-
cific objects are, it becomes still more
imperative each day that congress
should declare the objects of this war,
which will afford the basis for a con-
ference and for the establishment OF
"a permanent peace. The president has
asked the German people to speak for
themselves on this great world issue,

1 was at N. F. Bixby IS farm six miles
southwest Of Salem the other day and
on the porch drying was a quantity of
gnarled roots. Mr.. Bixby asked if ]
knew what they were. L thought they
were parsnips, grown on her land, but
it was ginsing.
Dry ginsing sells wholesale for 1926
q pound. Mr.. Bixby had thirty pounds
of the roots green, estimated they will
dry out one half, so he had over 500
worth of ginsing drying.
This grew on a plot 14x14 feet.
G. H. Peterson of Garden City, Mimi
esota, president of the Ginsing a~ssocia-
ton says a quarter of an acre of perfect
stand, 4 year-old insing is worth $4,000
or at the rate of 100000 to the acre,
Some crop.
Mr.. Bixby has grown the ginsing in
Minnesota, aud has made a study of it
in that state and he a Oregon grows
better ginisng than does Minnesota.
No, this is not a crop to raise by the
quarter section, as there is some work
and expense To begin with, it takes l 1-2
years to terminate the seed, and seed
planted this fall terminates a year
from the coming spring. Terminated
seed is worth So a thousand seed.
The bed must be mulched each fall
with leaves, straw or hard wood saw
dust, leaves preferable as that is their
natural mulch-the more leaves the bet
ter-he has used Is inches of leaves and
the plants came up. Straw is apt to
have too many weed seed and cause too
much work pulling weeds.
Paths are made through the bed so
as not to step on plants and break off
eyes-if the eyes are broken off the
plants make no growth until a new eye
crows. Moles will sometimes break off
eyes they are so tender.
A shade must be kept or leaves turn
yellow. Mr.. Bixby has shade made of
lath.
---.Moles, gophers and mice are nuisances
in a ginsing bed and a hog will root out
to the very tip roots.
To give an idea as to how prolific
ginsing is on the 14x14 bed, $4,000 to
10000 seed a year, these are terminated,
about IL grown, and are worth $500 a
thousand, the roots are worth over 500
pretty valuable plot of ground.
Mr.. Bixby has a small loganberry
yard, l IL acres, that Melted him this
year $3.50 an acre. He had four tons
to the acre. Last year it produced sew
en- tons to the acre and netted $3.50.

And everybody wanted a ticket. The
scalpers had them-a few-but they
were at war prices, now being quoted al
$35 for grandstand seats (three games
and $55 for boxes. The majority of the
fans felt that for these prices they
ought to get at least a block of stock IL

1t is a shame that 1900 dollars Of
the amount given by kind-hearted citi-
Gems OF Richmond to charity must go
to pay the salary OF man, whose only
purpose Is to decide whether the appli.
cant for charity is humbug or not
I believe it Is recognized fact In
Richmond that there is a great deal of
poverty in our midst and also that the
Wayne County Social Service Bureau
has failed to remedy this condition or
even made much Roadway.
The real trouble in Richmond. as in
every other city. is not that charity Is
not handled rightly but that we are
trying to abolish poverty by feeding
1t. All the charity that the kind-heart-
ed citizens OF this city may give to the
victims OF poverty will not in any way
aid to abolish it. The time has come
when we must not try to alleviate The
sufferings Of victims Of an unjust
social system but must take the pains
TO go to the root OF social diseases.
poverty Is one of them, and find the
cause Of it.
1t is recognized fact that the
causes Of poverty fall under three
heads: "a insufficient wages to keep
a family, (2) misfortune and (3) care
lessness. believe you will agree
with me when lay the bulk of the
blame of poverty on the first named
cause. Take list of those dependent

venture to say that the average de-
