The Best Man In Demand

John McGraw, manager Of
the New York Giants, has paid
$4,000 for Jimmy O'Connell,
an unusually promising young
player of the San >Francisco
baseball club. O'Connell's sal
airy is not mentioned in the dis
patches, but it will be high be-
yond doubt.
Baseball, which is merely a
sport for most of us, is a career
for a chosen few, and a highly
lucrative one. But there is
money in baseball only for the
top-notchers. Only those who
can play the game great deal
better than the rank and file
get big salaries.
And this is true of any other
business or profession. The
man who excels is the man who
goes to the top, whether it is
baseball, or the law, or mer-
chandising, or manufacturing,
or bartering or shoemaking.
There is always more big
jobs to be filled than there are
men capable of filling them,
but the mediocre fellows, are
always a adrug on the market
at any price. "

The core of business depres.

What War Costs

-Four hundred and sixty
three thouI rand men, working
for $4,000 a year each, earn
just enough in a year to pay
the interest on our national
debt, says a statistician.
This tells the story of the
cost of the war.
A war debt doesn't mean
much, expressed in long money
figures. Transported into
terms of human labor, its evil
is clearly seen.
Human labor is the only real
wealth. It pays for every wal
long after the guns are rusted
into dust.

ANNIVERSARIES
Mr.. Editor:

Did you ever realize how
much we are all interested in
anniversaries?
Little children look to birth
day and Christmas as soon as
they realize they mean gifts. A
few years later they look to the
birthday of some fair maiden
or brave youth who has won
their fancy. Later, they be-
come the fathers and mothers
of the world and enjoy plan
ming for their children's pleas
ure at Christmas, and, lastly we
old people look to the joy of
some little one, two generations
of our blood in it's veins, and we
get young again thru the grand
son or granddaughter.
We have recently passed the
birthday of He, who came on
earth to introduce and promul-
gate a religion that revolution
lied everything.
We have just turned over a
new leaf in the history of the
world and are living now at the
top of page 1922. What is
going to be written on that
page? We could be pessimis-
tic and say it will be murder,
immortality, robbery, lack Of a
job, reduction of income and
plenty of horrors.
But let's be optimistic-Let's
think of millions of men in our
country enlisted under banners
bearing on them, Friendship,
Love, Truth, Faith, Hope,
Charity" Masons, Odd Eel
lows, knights of Pythias, Elks
Knights OF Columbus, all pledg-
ed to elevate the character OF
mankind. Let US think of the
millions of comfortable homes
under Old Glory and look 3.
head hopefully, because we dc
know, men and women are SOW
ing good seed, and good seed
brings forth good fruit in its
season.
Now, why this sort Of an ex-
plosion? I'll tell you. We have
with us, as you know, one oil
Island Ponds oldest and most
substantial citizens, Don C
Foss, Senior. He reached his
eighty-seventh birthday, yes
terday, January 18th. It's &
ripe old age, isn't it? The nice
thing about it is, remembrance
of the day by sturdy sons, BY
ce.-v-4l, NatchIul daughter
by grandchildren, young mer
and women, yes, and a card
too, from the little seven-year
old girl, great granddaughter
Sort of warns your heart dom
it?
And then comes in anothe
feature in the old gentleman
birthday. The Ladies of tn,
Grand Army of the Republic
learning of the event, sent in
big bouquet of pinks, and
shower of postal cards.
We are very much pleased
with these remembrance
of an old man away from hi
longtime home, and because
regard such little things as in
dicative of lots of good-h heart
edness in the world. I writ,
this account Of Fathers
birthday, adding to it the oft
repeated Happy New Year
to all.

SOVIET BIDS FOR
PLACE IN LEAGUE

Geneva, May 15.-tBy Associ-
ated Press. THE soviet delegates
at Genoa have informed the league
of nation experts there that Rus
sia desires to cooperate with the
large and become a full fledged
member within reasonable time,
provided the conference succeeds
from the soviet viewpoint.
The leagues experts have just
reported this to the league coun-
Gil, which is meeting here.
The Russians added that, If the
Genoa conference failed Moscow
would continue its policy Of oppo-
sition to the league on the theory
that Russia could not expect any
thing from an organization com
posed chiefly of member states
with which it had been unable to
reach an agreement.
The league officials here re-
garded these unofficial overtures
for peace from the bolsheyiki as
significant in view Of the bitter
opposition of Moscow to the or
in the past.

EDUCATION SUBJECT OF
DONEY At CLUB LUNCH

The advantages of higher eduea-

responsible for the instruction Of
students in attendance at uni
versities and colleges made up the
subject on which DR.. Carl G.
Doney, president of Willamette
university, talked at the business
mems luncheon at the Salem Com
mercial club today
The necessity OF making gradu-
ates understand something Of their
duty toward God and their fellow
man was stressed by DR.. Doney,
who declared that the system of
education, as it at present stands,
Is not a perfect one.
Il believe in a technical eduea-
tion, but students should know
they are not educated while they
can work only with their hands, -
he said
Dr. Doney suggested that Salem
business men assist in exploiting
Salem 9 advantages. and pointed
out that line on letter-heads to
the effect that Willamette Uni
versity is located 10 Salem, -

SURVIVE R|F T'LAW |NVAL| Id
Plea of Invasion of Pol
ice Powers of States,
Made by Opponents, Is
Sustained In Decision.

Washington, May Is. - The
child labor law was today held by
the supreme court to be unconsti-
tutional and not valid. %
The decision of the court was
rendered in case brought by the
government against the Drexel
furniture company of North Caro-
lima and was one of three cases
brought in that state testing the
validity of the law and in all of
which the United States district
court decided against the govern
ment.
1 The law held unconstitutional
foday by the court was enacted
after the supreme court had de-
clared invalid an act of congress
which excluded from interstate
commerce products in the manu-
facture of which child labor had
been used. The law affected by
today decision was virtually the
same except that it imposed an
excise tax of 10 per cent upon the
annual net profits of establish
ments employing child labor. Op-
ponents of the law contended the
new law was an unconstitutional
invasion of the police powers OF
the states.

HUG is ASKED TO
EXPLAIN IVERSON
MIX;;STANDSPAT

George Hug, Salem superin
tendent of schools, viii stand pat
on his recommendation TO the
school board not to re-employ Miss
Julia Iverson, Lincoln grade
school teacher.
Mr.. Hug, who made his recon-
mendation after a petition signed
by 425 school patrons, asking
Miss Iverson's s retention. had been
presented to the board, has been
invited, along with members of
the board, to attend a meeting of
the Lincoln Mckinley Parent
Teachers association to be held at
night
Today Mr.. Hug did not indicate
whether he will attend the meet
ing or not.
Miss Iverson, over whom the
fight In South Salem has arisen.

dents appeared in her behalf at
the last school board meeting.
