"It boils down to this, that we must establish keen sympathetic relations between all types of men, between those who employ and those who are rmuloyed. Every man should be property owner, and every man should be given an opportunity to become such. This is, of course, a generality, but the problem confronting us can be solved if we stick to our American faith in the efficacy of publicity. What we need are facts and figures. "Secrecy, suppression of the truth, misrenresentation. no matter which side in an industrial contest practices them, are subversive of the public's interests, and tend to delay the com ing of the better time that, I am sure, awaits us in the near future. "Our laws are made by public opin ion and public opinion will go wrong if it hasn't the facts. What we've got to stand for now are the rights of nronertv. the domination of law and the maintenance of public order. "None of these can be maintained if we submit to either an autocracy of wealth or an autocracy of labor. We must insist upon democracy, gov ernment by, for, and of all the people! Through democracy the connecting link between the prosperity of the employer and that of the laborer must be conserved. Roosevelt Doctrine Applies, "And in this connection Roosevelt's doctrine is applicable, namely, that while we recognize the right of men to organize, we must not permit or ganized men to prevent by violence unorganized men from working. "And to keep our American democ racy in that condition of vigorous health necessary to the solution of the problems now confronting us we must look carefully to the quality of our immigration. "Its quantity is a matter of lesser moment. Not only should we prevent undesirable aliens from admittance to our country, but we should at once deport all foreigners who have proved unce they came t us. that they are inimical to our institutions. We can assimilate the well-disposed, but those who are antagonistic to us interfere with our digestion, poison our blood and would eventually destroy us. "Uncle Sam is a strong and elastic individual, but why permit him to jeopardize his health wtih the virus of European radicalism? Leniency toward an alien enemy is reprehensi hie and mawkish sentimentality. There is no room for the red flag in this country, nor should there be parley or compromise with those who wave it." Radicals Misguided l ot. "The radicals who imagine they can overthrow our government by force are reckoning without due regard for an element in our body-politic that has both the inclination and the power to safeguard our institutions. "I had evidence at Gary that our returned soldiers are as intensely loyal to our flag today as when they followed it to imperishable glory on the battlefields of Europe. The army we raised, the millions who crossed the sea, and those who remained here tinder arms are Americans to the core, as unchangeably Inimical to Russian holshevism as they were to Prussian militarism. Attempts have been, and are being, made to corrupt them.

The American Legion is well named. It is a legion, and anyone who iouots its Americanism Is mentally cieieciive. Woman's Influence Factor. "Won't the advent of women to po JitiosI prerogatives, general, provide another weapon for the safeguarding of our institutions?" A glance at our feltow travelers, mostly of the gentler aex. had suggested, perhaps, this query to me. I m sure of it." replied General Wood, warmly. "Women are brlnrine an elevating Influence Into public life inai win tend to correct many of the evils to which our present unrest is due. One of the reasons for the Ct-owtb of undesirable tendencies In our country has been the regrettable i''t thnt countless men. qualified by education anl character for public service, nave wantonly neglected thel civic duties. "With the coming of vomen to the polls, these men will be ashamed to disregard the political duties they fo?-nierl- shirked. A man who could snend election day fit his club while his wife was at the polls is sure to forfeit the respect of the community. "I believe -voman suffrage is to have a vast and uplifting effect 'upon our national life. Public morality will be increased, housing conditions improved, the problems of child labor satisfactorily solved, sweat-shop evils minimized, and the training given to children in our schools purged of its presei t aefects. Better World Assured. "Our women must take up the ques tion of the social evil. To that, and to other of our vital problems, they now come with the power or tne oai- ot. Women realize that our Ameri can civilization can never De wnai t should be until we give as much care to the upbringing or our cnn dren as we do to the breeding of our cattle. In short, the difficulties that ap parently beset our national future would confront us as immensely more nsuperable if we could not look for ward to overcoming them through the assistance of voting women. The optimism expressed at the outset of this chat with you is based, to a great extent, upon my firm belief that the granting of suffrage to ..omen gives up the promise of an amazingly bet ter world in the years to come." Again I glanced up and down the car, and was sorely, temptea 10 rifw in my seat and repeat to our observ ant fellow-travelers what General Wood had Just said. This inclination was intensified as he added: "We want those who are teaching our chil dren, those who are implanting knowledge and thus evoking power, it ONLY ONE THING BREAKS MY COLD!

Faith Mast Be Preserved. What about religion, general?" I rather daringly queried. Unhesitat ingly and emphatically my distin guished seatmate- answered: I "We have been and we must re main, a religious people. I care but little to what sect a man belongs so long as he realizes, theoretically and practically, the necessity for re ligion in the living of life. - One's faith must be preserved, no matter with what church you may be affili ated. It is my firm conviction that a man who loses his religion sustains the greatest loss that can come to a human being." We had stopped at a station and the car had become even more crowd ed .than heretofore. General Wood, noting the overflow, was on his feet instantly, giving his seat to a woman with an instinctive courtesy . that modern cynics characterize as old- fashioned, and I followed him Into the aisle. From that time on. we pursued our conversation in the un comfortable role ot strap-hangers. "Do you remember your catechism. general?" 1 queried, wondering how was going to take notes at 40 miles an hour. "What is our duty to our neighbor?" Be ware of Internationalism. 99 Doesn't that depend upon the neighbor?" parried General Wood smilingly. "I see what you are get ting at and I'll answer frankly. I say to our people: 'Beware of inter nationalism: . Internationalism put into practice means national death. Not, of course, that it can be put into practice. What, is one man's meat is another man's poison. "And this basic truth applies to na tions. Legislation for the race at large is an impracticable absurdity. and those who preach the doctrine of internationalism re endeavoring. whether consciously or unconsciously to undermine the foundation-stones of our modern civilization. "There is a visionary, saccharine seductiveness about the Idea of al humanity moving forward in the same groove under the machinery of the parliament of man, the federa tion of the world; but like all im practicable waking dreams it leads those under its influence into pitfalls and quagmires, and is today doing more real harm in the world than any unrealizable conception that ever came into the minds of men whose hearts are more to be admired than their brains." "Am I not my brother's keeper?" I asked. Duty to Brother Defined. "In a sense, yes. You owe it to your brother to keep yourself in such good condition that you can always render him your best service. I America Is to be a great force for good in the world, we must maintain f ourselves as a vigorous and well-bal anced nation. If we become loose- fibred, indecisive, weakened by cen trifugal, replacing centripetal, forces, we can fulfill our mission on earth neither to ourselves nor to others." "It is essential for the welfare of Europe," went on the general pres ently, "that this country conserve its national health, its national integrity, its national consciousness. What we do for other peoples we must do as Americans, acting under our own volition and guidance. Otherwise we would injure ourselves and prove of no service to' the very peoples we were endeavoring to aid. "I thoroughly approve of our coun try's reception of various devastated areas in Europe for purposes of re construction, but such obligations as we assume should be strictly as en individual, self -deter mining nation. We owe a duty first to ourselves and then to the rest of the world and we are large-hearted enough, and wealthy enough, to fulfill both. But our own people have a prior claim over that of foreigners. International tarn la Blind. "I sometimes think, as I look back upon the immediate past, that this na tion has been engaged in putting out the other -fellows' fires and paying no attention, or, at least, too little, to the smoke that is pouring out of our own cellar. Nationalism demands that we set our own house in order before reg ulating the affairs of the world. In ternationalism is blind to the warn ings of Omaha and Gary, but seriously concerned with the unrest in Boori- OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Nov. 16. It is a fairly safe guess that there, is one woman in the United States who knows all about the peace treaty and the league of nations. That woman is Alice Roosevelt Longworth. daughter of the rough rider president. Never has any "wom an manifested a more profound in terest In a great public question than has Mrs. Longworth in the issues now being fought out in the senate. From the time the debates on the treaty began she hai been a frequent visitor to the senate gallery, and in the last three weeks it is believed that she has not missed a single word that the senators have had to say on the league of nations and reservations to the covenant. She arrived at the capitol so early each day that she has occupied the same seat on every occasion, and it has been apparent that her entire in terest is centered In the treaty. Few persons, perhaps, know what she thinks about it, because, notwith standing reflections cast upon her years ago by the enemies of her il lustrious father, Mrs. Longworth is both modest and unobtrusive. Political Interest Keen. Yet, like her father, she is keenly interested in the big political ques tions. She is the very soul of de mocracy, not given to affectations or finery. She sat over in the state gallery for weeks before even those in the senate and press gallery who were friends and followers of her father discovered hei presence. Always olainlv. thouirh neatlv dressed, and in black, she keeps her- I self free of any jewelry that would j make her conspicuous or connect her with wealth, although her husband. Representative Nicholas Longworth, j is a rich man. As one counts the years Bhe must have lived, from the ' fact that she was married early in j 1306, curiosity is aroused as to what ! she has been doing with all of the j accumulated age. ' , It has not told upon her. She looks like the pictures which appeared in j the newspapers at the time of her , marriage, and somebody remarked 1 the other day that she did not appear : to be more than 23. Every Word Eagerly Granpcd. Sometimes she is seen leaning far over the gallery rail to grasp the words uttered in low tone by some j senator who is not inclined to be con- j siderate of public interest in the '. question under debate. Again she is I noticed explaining some motion to amend to a woman occupant of u nearby seat, but never for a moment losing the connection of any part o: the proceedings. CH - 111. A m , j VIOTEO jar r i boola-Glea." "The millenlum doesn't strike you, General, as Just around the corner, then?" "Well, hardly." he replied, dryly. "After the thirty-years' war and the Napoleonic wars the civilized world found itself In a chaotic and appalling condition. The recent armistice brought to a tentative end the first of all world-wars, but bear In mind that more than 20 well-defined wars are being waged on the globe at this mo ment. "This is no time for us to sit back contentedly and imagine that our suc cessful military intervention la Eu rope has pacified the world at large. We've got to look facts squarely in the face, and there's apparently a lot of unregenerate belligerency left in the human race, despite its recent orgy of blood. Eternal Vlrllaare Counts. "Eternal vigilance is the price of safety. The recent war served to show us Americans certain defects in our make-up that all our former wars- have demonstrated. We are too prone to believe that whenever we are menaced by Merrimac the Almighty will provide us with a Monitor. Sure ly, the events of the past few years should convince us that the only in surance against disaster consists in taking time by the forelock." 'But. at least, general, we sut a quietus on autocracy. I suggested. "Tea. he commented, thoughtfully. Democracy 'proved itself capable of self-preservation at a crisis. And now our task Is to make American democ racy what is should be. to purge it of Its defects, to strengthen Its merits, to detend it from Its enemies, both ax ternal and Internal. For today, as never before, our American Ideals and Institutions are the hope of the world if I used slang. I should call them posterity's one best bet."

"The partnership between men anil :, women which now supplanfs the for- mer ownership of man, is the great ! guarantee of the new order. WeThall no longer class women and children together as Incapable. Men and wom en will together protect each other and the young. During the years be fore marriage when family cares permit, women shall have the fullest scope for earning and for Just treat ment as individuals.' But a wage scale for the father which compels the mother to leave her children who need her care in order to earn their bread is abhorrent at all times and In all countries. "In this new partnership I venture to say that the first and simplest duty of women- Is to safeguard the lives of mothers and babies, to de velop the professional dignity of all motherhood, for motherhood has too long suffered from the stultifying ef fect of sentimentality and not com mon sense."
