Occasionally there rises up a statesman in business life. , Such a man is Otto II. Kalin, of the big banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Here is what he says regarding labor: 1 am far from believing that everything is right as it is. I believe in change and in progress, "I believe that it should be and must be our sincere and sustained effort to bring into the lives of the masses of the people more of ease and comfort, more of the rewards and joys of life .than .they now possess. I believe this is not only our duty, but our interest, because if we wish to prc Berve the fundamental lines of our present social system we must strive to make it more satisfactory and more in viting to the vast majority of those who toil and I do not mean those who onlv toil with their hands than it now is. "We must not deal grudgingly with labor; we must not look upon labor unrest and aspirations as 'temporary troubles,' as, a,. passing phase, but we -must' give to Labor willinc and liberal recognition as partner with capital, We must under all circumstances pay as a minimum a ddr . cent living wage to every one who works tor a living. "We must devise means to cope with the problem of un . employment and to meet the dread advent of sickness, in capacity and old age in the case of those whose means do not permit them to provide for a rainy day." If we had more big men like Mr. Kahn we would have fewer labor troubles. o UNION AND WALLOWA COUNTIES AIItiAD. A YEAR OF CHEER.

RIRTLEY with their repeated victories over the wets and. then 'at tack begun on cigarettes arid tobacco. He claimed that thousands of voters who would have voted dry under usual conditions voted wet as a rebuke to the attack on tobacco. Whether this is correct or not, it is quite certain that if all the users of the weed voted wet that most of the dry voters were not users of tobacco. Salem Capital-Journal. o A NOBLE WORK. The Red Cross is doing a hoble work.. It should be re membered that the Red Cross is the only organization that can conic to the aid of our soldier and sailor boys when they are sick and wounded.; It is the humanitarian arm of the Government. It needs women workers now. The women will respond quickly. and nobly as they always do. o CONSOLIDATE. Trouble is breaking out again between the Shipping Board and the Emergency Fleet Corporation.

The neighbors come around at eve, and talk with me of war and gore; and loudly I la ment and grieve that 1 can't go and slay a score. I tell the neighbors what I'd do, if I were not so old and fat; the fleeing Hun I would pursue, and cleave his head and spoil his hat. And as I talk of bat tle's din, of honor's call and glory's charm, my wife, she listens with a grin she knows I am a false alarm. She knows I hate to move a step, I'm wedded to my easy chair; she knows I hardly have the pep to comb the sandburs from my hair. She hands me now and then a glance that's loaded down with meaning deep; it seems to say, "Were you in France, you'd hunt a quiet place to sleep." The neighbors hear my warlike spiel, and seem to think I am old Mars; they hear me talk of blood and steel, of death and bones and wounds and scars. ' I slip things over on the rubts, and make them think I yearn for strife;"a man may fool a bi'nfSh of boobs alas! he rannot fool his wife.
