not one of the three unless his labor
receives a just reward.
Good Relations Essential.
"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. But
the radical agitator who tries to con
vert an American soldier Into a revo
lutionist is playing with fire, as more
one of them has learned to his

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

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

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

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

Faith Mast Be Preserved.
What about religion, general?" I
rather daringly queried. Unhesitat
ingly and emphatically my distin

little to what sect a man belongs
so long as he realizes, theoretically
and practically, the necessity for re

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

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.

"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

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

"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

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."

ev Partnership r Hand.
"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

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
