"GOD HELPING, PEACE WILL REIGN THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD"
We shall soon see whether the
leading nations of the earth are
willing to dismiss the question re
garding jlhe limtation of arma
ment as -merely academic. There
must be! a showing of hands, a
laying of the cards on the table.
' "Let us think also of a bond of eternal peace so
that the people of the world may work and rebuild
-J and find happiness in industrial pursuits, with no
' ' thought of future conflicts.
! "God helping, peace will reign throughout the
world."
The above are the concluding words of the message
given yesterday to the American Legion by Marshal Foch
The words of the greatest living warrior to the greatest
living wamors
But hopefully breathing the spirit of universal and en-
duriag peace among all the peoples of the earth.
Cynical doubters with small vision the country over and
the world over have spoken repeatedly of the likelihood
of failure of the disarmament conference, or of the possi
bllity of small results -
,i ' But-Marshal Foch, the commanding figure of the war
to end war, breathes no such faint hearted misgivings on
the eve of the conference to arrange for setting in motion
the influences and to provide for the agreements that will
substitute orderly arbitration and mutual justice and un
derstanding for a resort to wholesale murder when nations
shall in the future disagree. 1
He speaks' as one having authority, and he will be
listened to as one having authority, and he has no doubts
r As no one on the wide earth should have any doubts, if
all the delegates or a majority of them have the vision
and the grasp and the sincerity and open minded determina
tion of Marshal Foch.
The 110,000,000 people of the Ignited States, making, up
l the most powerful and the richest nation in the world, want
. peace, and they want the obligations to make it permanent
rendered binding
And the people of Great Britain and all her colonies want
the same thing; and so do the people of France, of Japan and
Italy; yes, of Germany and Russia and all the other coun-
tries of the world, and
. -"God helping, peace will reign throughout the world"
Marking the conference that will meet in Washington
today as the most important ever assembled on this earth
.. -. . . .
The bunch, over .which a. misguidedinewspaper reporter
;,in Salem has beejn making so much noise, and shedding so
; many scaldingrocodile tears, is showto to be just a few
fathoms below the whales; a fact that has been known to
I .the; Jcnowing all along, but the legal , evidences of which
1 wepe. jiflt: brought out, till. after all this hullabaloo of head
I Jines " by a misguided if not perverted gink who merely
j wanted to make a noise and attract attention, if not punish
imaginary "enemies and get revenge for fancied wrongs. The
pity of it all is; that two innocent girls will have to suffer.
And that is a great pity. But that is the way of the world.
; Nd crime was ever committed, no wrong ever, done, whose
: trail i did, hot injure the innocent and make them suffer
, ' more' than the" guilty; ""'. '
The Hon. James Hamilton Lew
fays that the arms limtation
conference is a great blunder. By
the! way, who is this Hon. 'James
Hamilton Lewis? The same fel
low who' thought ha was running
for governor of Illinois last fall?
for the whole world will come
only when the nations shall have
achieved victory over their own
salfishness and when they shall
all agree to abolish the causes
that make for international di3

J. Frazier, Nonpartisan Leagu3
governor of that state, has been
recalled at a general election.
Forty-one banks. Including the
league's mainstay, the Bank of
North Dakota, owned and operat
ed by the state, have been com
pelled to close their doors within
the year and conditions through
out that commonwealth are worse
than ever before in its history.
The Townley project, born In
failure, has 'returned to its point
of origin. It was in 1913, it will
be recalled, that Townley and his
brother bankrupted themselves !n
an attempi to make a quick
"clean-up" in flax. Having lost
on his firs plunge, Townlay.
clothed in the armor of radical
ism, immediately found that the
organization of society was ail
wrong and set out to right it. The
result was both bizarre and dis
astrous, alike to himself and his
followers.
His program was one under
which a class, socializing a state
or a number of states, would util
ize the governmental machinery
and the resources within the com
monwealth for its own benefit.
His league was, in effect:
(1) An agrarian despotism un
der the dictatorship if a commis
sion of five, directed by Town
ley. :
(2) An effort to have the state
enter every j form of business, in
dustry and enterprise.
(3) A dream whereby a class
would be subsidized, protected
and enriched at the expense of all
other elements of the population.
Among the "reforms" instituted
or prepared for by legislation
were: State grain elevators, hail
insurance, mills, packing bouses.
refrigerating plants and banks;
lowering the number of signatures
required for the initiative and, tv&r
rerendum to the point where an
endless number of elections could
be called; (ranting to the legisia
ture the right to abolish all per
sonal property taxes, paving the
way for the adoption of the single
tax; and extension of the limita
tions uponj bonding the resources
cf the stat until virtually all of
its assets would be at the disposal
of the element in power for ex
periments in finance and govern
ment.
Had it not been for the evils
inherent in the primary system it
is probable that Townley would
have been unable to work his will
upon North Dakota. However,
taking advantage of the oppor
tunity which that device offers to
an organized and relentless min
ority he managed to capture the
nominations for the Republican
party's stata ticket in 1916 and,
through the prestige of that party,
elected his candidates.
Encouraged by his initial suc
cess, Townley tried to make his
class movement national In its
scope, but was overwhelmingly de
feated in each of the twelve states
outside of North Dakota in which
his candidates went before the
people. He also found time on
an electioneering tour in Minne
sota while the war was at its
height to utter sentiments which
resulted in his conviction for se
dition. After three years of bat
tling in the higher courts to have
the decision against him reversed
he has finally been compelled to
begin serving a jail sentence.
Governor Frazier, fittingly
enough, had been cut down while
in office by the recall, that two-J
edged sword of which radicals are
so enamored and from which,
through endless political strife
and : costly ; elections, the people
suffer so heavily.
North Dakota, meanwhile, has
been reduced to desperate straits.
For over three years 117.500,000
of her bonds have gone begging
for buyers and m vain. Her
citizens have been divided against
themselves In bitter- and ceaseless
strife at the polls. Her banking
system, her credit and her gene
ral business machinery have been
reduced almost to chaos. '
And yet the dismal and dis
tressing conditions existing in
that state regrettable though
they are, may not have been al
together In vain if they will serve
as another; warning to free peo
ples everywhere that radicalism
In the very nature of things, the
success of these corsairs of So
cialism in Oregon will be verv
small; limited to the collection of
annual dues from a few dunes bv
these organizers depending upon
these dues for their meal tickets.
But who can say what havoc
might have been wrought if they
had turned all their efforts to
Oregon at the time they took up
their work in North Dakota?

BITS FOR BREAKFAST
Armistice day.
It is celebrated in all lands, as
it should be. Let it be universal
peace day.
Now Salem will have to hold
her nose while the next phase of
the nasty Mowry-Perry- case is
mulled over. It is a great pity
that it had to be stirred up; pity
for the two innocent girls, who
should never havg been dragged
Into the mess.
"W
If all the world leaders have
the faith, hope, charity and vis
ion of Marshal Foch, no one
would have any doubt as to the
successful issue of the great peace
conference.
A most patient fellow Is the
average newspaper reporter:
knowing often most important
news about to "break," but kept
iql silence with closed lips till
it has broken.
Here is a most Important news
tem given out in the current
weakly letter of Henry Clews,' the
Wall Street authority most Im
portant and most encouraging:
Unemployed men number not
over 50 per cent of the estimated
total three months ago."
That is hopefu:. If the good
work can be speeded up, as it
should be, there will be no un
employed men at all in this coun
try in another three or four
months.

(Special to The Statesman)
The total enumeration in the dis

piled by E. E. Paddock, shows a
substantial increase over the
enumeration of one year ago. The
total enumeration just completed
n the district is 494. As the law
requires that all children over
four years and under 20 be in
cluded in the count, the returns
are gratifying. Mr. Paddock has
finished his work very thoroughly,
and has compiled some interesting
statistics.
There are two families each
