ITirteredat the Postoiflce in Salem, ONLY ONE ISSUE FOE 1918 The New York Journal of Commerce, assuming that there will be just four issues in the 1918 Congressional campaign, says: , . . The first of these alleged issues is "a more vigorous prosecution of the war with concentration of the ener gies of the nation to the single end of peace with vic- . to'ry." That is no party issue and cannot be made one. ,'' Nobody can gain anything by trying to make it one. The same may be said of the second, which is econ omy in war expenditures with "closer scrutiny of the objects upon which the millions of government treasure arcbeirig lavished." That is no taore favored by one party than the other, whatever individual politicians in Congress may think. i v , So f the third alleged issue, "honest non-partisanship in War time appointments." If there is any party ' ' difference on. that point, it is between the party that is in and that which is out, and the party now in will stay , . . . in control of appointments in any case, except so far, as ; they require corrfirmatioh by the Senate. . Abolition of the policy of secrecy or secretivencss in ' questions of national moment not directly concerned with the military or naval plans 'f is the other alleged issue. Whatever difference of opinion there mayje about this, it is not a matter of party policy and canritt be made so. These would be flimsy planks for a plat form and it would be better to go into the campaign : without one and vote for candidates on their individual merits. A- The Journal of Commerce would be correct in its conclusion if its premises were correct. The country is not in the mood at this time to cast a vote of censure on the conduct of the war by the present administration. It does not consider economy in war expenditures a fighting point. Neither is it greatly disturbed over the fact that a partisan administration has given all the new . appointments to its own partisans. Neither can an abolishing secrecv or secretiveness 'But the four ''alleged" issues will inot be issues at all, in any state where the Republican leaders are blessed with saving common sense. i .- r . - 'v- ' ! -V-. . The dominant issue will generally be, and ought to be every where, the restoration and maintenance of the policy of protection to American industries and labor. ! , y That policy is of vital consequence; in producing the enormous revenues required by the government during the war and for many years after the war ends. That policy is demanded in order that American labor and industry shall be protected against an after-war invasion of foreign industrial products that would bring loss of em ployment, loss of wages, loss of domestic production and loss of American prosperity. That is- the natural issue in the campaign. It is the one and only issue on which the fight can be won, the one and only issue on which the fight ought to be won for the party of pro tection. '.;"....' 1 Turn up "your clock tonight. : No; Hindenburg will not eat his April fool dinner in Paris. - Turn up your clock before you re tire t tonight. ? Then you will have no excuse for "being late to church, or for not being there at all. . - It Is all over on the western front but the finishing blows. They may take only a short time, or a long time. You have your guess. The Germans are threatening an other great blow. The more the quicker for their finish. But they have not the punch left for another as great ' blow as the last one, and never will have again. .' Woman suffrage in New York con tinues to confound its enemies. The Democrats put up a ticket entirely made up of women in the local elec tion at Gouverner and the women voters themselves snowed it under. ". What factors are of supreme im portance in the winning of the war? Some say ships, others say soldiers or munitions or labor or food. But since each factor is indispensable, all are equally important, upon the farmers of thy nation, however, rests a responsibility which, as President Wilson says, need not be pointed out to them. "Peace by victory" Is the slogan adopted by the Republicans of the country. It's hard to beat. -Peace without victory" never has and never can mean anything but cowardice LADD & BUSH Bankers ' The Third Liberty Bond Sale Will Begin April 6th.

No lasting peace in any line of human endeavor has ever been achieved without vic tory of right over, wrong and the Republicans are always right. Los Angeles Times. "The Harvard university employ ment office asks every student to agree to devote his summer vacation either to the officers' training camp in Cambridge, or to productive labor In shipyards or munition plants or on the farm. Farming may be "horny-handed" work, but labor In that field will be greatly needed. It Is little spectacular, but mighty im portant. Nor should it go unnoticed that 150 Vassar students have sign ed up for fa'rm work. The farmer ette army is growing fast. YVAIt CHANGES EASTER CVHTO-HS The United States will observe its second "war" Easter tomorrow. Two clays before Easter thedeclaration of var j with Germany was made, and the great religious fesltival that fol lowed was marked by patriotic serT mons delivered in thousands of pul pits throughout the country, togeth er with fervent prayers that the great battle for freedom and democ racy might be crowned with success. The Easter observance this, year will doubtless be Imbued with aa even stronger intermingling of p.v triotlc and spiritual sentiment than was : the case last year. Twelve months of actual hostilities has awakened the nation to the seriou-pjL-ss and magnitude of the task that lts before it. Virtually every church congregation in the land has sent some of its youths to the front. In many instances the pastors them selves hare quit their pulpits to en ter the nation's service. , The brightness and gaiety that Is customarily associated with tlfe Eas ter festival wBl be lacking to a con siderable extent in the observance tomorrow. The florists of New York report that the demand for Easter flowers is far below that of previous years, especially the demand for dec oration in coiirches. They say they anticipated the change, owing (to the war, and estimate that sales will reach hardly a half of former yearj. People who usually spent large sums for flowers for house and per sonal ornamentation are saving their money this Easter for charity. Some churches that formerly gave orders to florists to decorate chancels and paid some of them as much as $4000 merely for the use of the flowers, have cut out their orders altogether this year. - Years ago the custom obtained of buying the flowers outright, and tben distributing them in hospitals on Easter Monday, but hospital j came to be swamped, and the deal ers came to the rescue by merely renting the plants and taking them back when Easter had passed. The wholesale :' florists say that such demand as there is this year runs mostly to carnations and dahl iLs. Of course, there is a stock of Easter lilies, now coming wholly from Japan in bulbs here, and not at all from Bermuda in bloom, a3 was the case some years ago. The roses offered this year are of the brightest red, nothing subdued, to go with the martial music that is to be sung. There is an almost total lack of anxiety for artistic effect in church decorations. Such anxiety is t-aid to have wholly passed in Eng land and In France. Memorial Pleces have been ordered in many instances for American boys fallen in the war. Many owners of private conserva tories In New York and vicinity have offered the churches the use of their flowers for Easter decoration: There has been little chance there fore for the florists to indulge in profiteering, even if they had had a disposition to try it. The war has also changed the Eas ter music demand this year in most radical fashion. Choirs everywhere are laying back on their shelves the mildly spiritual selections of former years, and have bought in. as great quantities as their treasuries permit new music of the belligerent style. - ' With the opening of the war Ger man music ceased to come to Ameri ca, and American composers were quick to come In and fill the demanJ. Tomorrow a little music published la England and France will be sung, but practically the entire Easter mu sic demand is now met by American composers and American publishers. These are claimed to equal any Eu ropean supply, and to surpass it in the way itjis presented in printing and paper. ' A BUGLE CAIiL. By FANNIE HURST of The Vigilantes. The other evening I dined with ten women, every one of whom had giv en up, set aside, even forfeited, from ten to fifty thousand dollar a year jobs, for dollar a year service to Country! ( A woman editor helping Hoover; a woman author co-operating to or ganize the new liberty loan drive; a famous actress on eight hour a day war relief duly.r i What a bugle call to the latent woman power of America to lift its head! - - This war has already shunted into undreamed of activities the bridge whist players, the tea fighters and the poodle dog coddlers of this vast country, but much of that same di lettante spirit is still evident. The gigantic organization of war I? going forward by organized and consistent labor. If fifty thousand dollars a year and nine hours a day can' be one busy woman's quiet and voluntary offering at the shrine of future world democracy, what of the leisure women who are salving their patriotism with one afternoon of knitting, or passively lending their names to the letterhead stationery of this or that war committee. Street-car knitting, hotel-veranda-made trench candles, plate glass-window-rolled bandages are mere crumbs from a rich man's table.. 'The woman editor who laid aside her job and twelve thousand a year for subordinate and routine workup a dingy Washington office, has JtSst pledged herself for a second yearjbf service! , Why not, Mrs. Suburbanite, in crease that one afternoon a week of yours with a Red Cross knitting, bandage or kit circle, to two, three, four, five, even six! I ' A HANDY WOMAN. ' That Canadian who advertised for a wife who could feed the pigs, play the organ, milk the cows, sew on but tons, read. English and save on cook ing had upward of one hundred answers to his card. Thank heaven, the crop of piano-playing cooks never quite fails. A Canada farmer doesn't want a domestic specialist for a lite companion. He wants an all "round athlete a dame who can hew wood, draw water, sing soprano, boil soap, knit mittens and follow the plow, if these qualities can be had for th? asking, it is either a reflection upon or a tribute to the sex, we' don't know which. That life might be c.uite congenial on a California ranch but Canada is a long ways from her. Los Angeles Tiraes. And still more so on an Oregon ranch, and Oregon is closer. THE END IS NEAR. (Los Angejes Times.) The beginning! of the end has come. The great war cannot, last much longer. Germany, in launch ing a long promised offensive, ha? lost more than she has gained and the will never again make another drive as successful as this one. Al though the battle is not yet over, tho ietorious star of destiny is shining overfhe allies. Ten million prayers yesten times ten million prayera are going up to the throne of God for the brave men at the front who love honor and justice and right above power and gold, and above life tiself. In the minor matters of life evil often. seems to triumph, but in this most stupendous contest in the wrorld's history Justice will show her face and every nation shall come to know that "right is God's law to the end of all worlds." ANY EXCISE TO KILL. The Germans have executed a num ber of Belgian priests as spies. With the Germans" today it is "any excuse to kill," and when there is no ex cuse the doctrine of cruelty is suffi cient. Germany spares nothing and nobody. It is all the same to the kaiser's butchers whether they ar5 demolishing cathedrals or murdering priests, killing soldiers on the field or dropping bombs on hospitals or among noncombatant women and children in the slums of Paris and London. To Germany anybody is a "py" who sees or hears of' any of the terrible things being done by the Germans today. Like the, bloody Macbeth,' Germany would gladly kill every witness to her staggering crimes but,, like Macbeth, she will meet her conqueror, for all the com bined powers of darkness cannot pro tect her forever from the Nemesis of retribution. ., Humors Onme to the Surface in the spring as in , no other season.

I BITS FOR BREAKFAST I Turn up your clock tonight. You save daylight after today. And you are expected to save It for a patriotic and useful purpose. I General Foch, one of the most bril liant and dashing commanders of the French army, is to have supreme command, at least during the balance of the big battle. - i m mm S The sidewalk strategists are anx ious for the counter attacks to begin. They have it all figured out. But the men In charge over there have their plans, and they know whei and where and how to strike. They have the Job of whipping Germany, which they can do, in the most ex peditious manner, and with the sroal lest possible loss of lives. It may take only a little time, and it may take a good deal of time. Thy know. j ! There are indications that a great drive is being prepared by the Ger mans and Atistrlahs against Italy. But the Italians haVe had their les ion and they are ready, with power ful assistance. Not too early to prepare for the celebration of April, 6. the first an niversary of our entry into the war. V There will be no such thing as a hatless Easter. V Don't tell all you know to the peo ple that you don't know.

YOU CAN t LIFT THEM OFF Doesn't hurt a bit to lift your sore, touchy corns right out , A aoted Cincinnati authority dis covered a new ether compound and called it freezone and a quarter ounce of it now can be had for a few rents at any drug, store. ! You simply apply a few drops of this magic freezone upon a tender corn or painful callus and instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off with J the fingers. You reel no pain, not a particle or soreness, either when applying free zone or afterwards, and it doesn't even irritate the skin. Hard corns, soft coms or corns between: the toes', also jLotighcned calluses, just shrivel up and lift off so easy. It Is wonderful!: It works like a charm. Try it!

Lytle. upon returning fsom Portland, where the state live, stock sanitary boards met Thursday to discuss the subject. Instead dips will be held ia certain counties of the state between April 1 and An- gust 1. The board adopted a resolution to petition congress to enact a system.,, of labor conscription requiring every able-bodied man between the ages of' 18 and 60 to perform during the period of the war and as long after the war as may be-Jield necessary some labor for the production of food. The reason given for the reso lution was that the ood needed by , mankind now does not exist and that under the present r system of labor will not be produced and will lead to famine. Another part of the reso-',. lution is designed to disconrage dur ing seed time and harvest the mak ing of all Improvements not condnc ive to the winning of the war or the feeding of the people.
