SAVE THE BERRY CROP

Salem is the Loganberry center of the world and the
Loganberry has brought much fame and prosperity to
Salem To harvest the berries requires pckers in large
numbers but in normal years pickers plentiful. With
the demand for labor this year, due to abnormal
conditions the growers will be unable to cope with the
situation unless people of Salem to their rescue
This must be public spirited movement 1t is not

pickers well paid and the conditions of employment

by and children If our children can be properly
organized into groups each under the direction of COM

picking requires three pckers to each and on this
basis there will be needed over three thousand pickers
for the Salem section If Salem will not furnish the pick
in sufficient numbers then the growers must appeal
to Portland to come over and help u.s." 1t is to be hoped
that this will not be necessary and that Salem will take
enough pride in this job to to it that pcker are sup
piled without resorting to imported help.

Ihe suggestion that the appropriation

statement the Capital Journal made
and the senator indorses the state
ment. The governor stated this morn
ing after the board had adjourned,
that 1t would not be called again over
this matter, but that it might come up
again when the board met for some
other emergency. The truth is the
members of the board are a trifle shy
OF declaring an emergency under the
conditions. Some Of its members hold
that adding money to the appropriation
which the legislature allowed the
board comes near usurping the duties
and prequisities of the legislature. It
is understood that the 100000 appro-
pFiated for the lime board is about ex-
hausted and nothing can be done by

seem from this that the board went

Platform Adopted.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 29.--'T There
is for every individual and every pol.
itical party but one supreme duty and
that is to end the war;"
That was the declaration of the plat
form presented to the republican state
convention in session here today by
Will H. Hays, national chairman of the
republican party, and chairman Of the
resolutions committee. The platform was
framed under Hays directing hand and
voiced the sentiments of national re-
publican leaders. The platform makes an
appeal for the right of full participa-
tion by the republican party in war ac-
tivities.
I'VE hereby denounce any criticism
of public officials high or low, when
such criticisms are inspired by partisan
ship" says the platform. "We insist
that every possible efficient instrument,
man and material whton is available
shall be used to aid in winning the
war, and the inefficiency shall be re-
placed by efficiency wherever found. y
Th party pledged itself for "peaee
with victory and never peace by COM
promise and bargaining of principles
which would violate American rights, in-
terest and honor and make of our sac
rifiee, sacrilege to be made again by
our grand Children
Attacks President.
Declaring President Wilson is the
most astute leader TIE democratic party
has ever had, "the shrewdest in his
methods, the most uncompromising in
his partisanship of any man who has
occupied the White House since Andrew
Jackson" United States Senator Harry
s. New, chairman of the convention,
made an attack on the president s
methods.
He is partisan in everything he
thinks and does-as adroit as he is ptr-
sistent," New declared.
He added touch of George Creel s
methods when he said:
"It is apparent that the slogan of
the party in the campaign before us to
be: Stand by the president. The prop
uganda is being worked to the limit
that if one fails to vote for the candi-
dates of the presidents S party, he votes
to discredit the administration and
gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Mr..
Creel with his bunch of undertaking
socialist misfits, is employing every
means at his unlimited command and it
will be continued without stint until
this campaign, and like as not, the next
one, has been brought to a close"
New added that no president of the
United States ever had such unlimited
as is te'ny accorded President
Wilson.
Declaring the republican party is not
a Stacker" and that it means to have
a part in the war, he said
"This is not the presidents war. It
is tha reon1e 's war -

larger Reports of the battle show General Foch is fol-

would cost too much in the lives of his men, Apparently
this plan is to be used in the present battle wearing the
enemy out by making the attacks cost him dearly and
making his advance daily more difficult by removing
him from his base of supplies This canbe done safely so
