SOME MORE MISTAKES TO CORRECT .1 That section of the narrowly partisan Democratic press which can find virtue only where Democratic affiliations are thickest seems to be pretty much upset by the present state wide movement to bring George A. -yiiite of Salem into the Republican gubernatorial, contest. Mere mentiori of the possibility aroused the irritability of the Capital Journal to the exploding point v ....... And the first explosion came with a black headline an nouncing "Colonel White Arrested for Speeding' : It was a hideous charge of misconduct for the Capital Journal uncovered the fact that Mr. White "was traveling 26 miles an hour when arrested" and that he was to be "arraigned in court at 2 p. m." ' v t ,-. Doubtless the thousands of enthusiastic and loyal citizens over the state who are petitioning Mr. Wbite to lay aside his own wishes in the matter and become a candidate for Governor would have dropped their work after this glaring disclosure had not the. Capital Journal in its next issue, in an announcement tinder the caption "Capital Journal Makes Mistake,", confessed, that the speeding story was made of whole-cloth. C v:-''."' 'V'-'-' C---' So the Capita Journal tried it again and In . a double- column leading editorial fired a broadside the gist of which was to the effect, that Mr. White was "appointed by Gover nor Olcott" and so shouldn't run against himr that as Ad jutant General he raised, his own salary and changed the state law so as to bestow upon himself a life job and that he increased the cost of-, the National Guard from $100,000 to $170,000 at the last session of the Legislature. All of which, like the charge "Colonel White Arrested for Speeding," would be very interesting and constructive if even remotely based on fact, v . ' - v The facts concerning Mr. White's appointment as Adju tant General are definitely known. He was appointed Adjutant General by the late Governor sWithycombe - 'J.:r .;r v.':. j" 'l:r ' ' And after his brilliant performance of organizing the i state's man-power and resources and putting Oregon first in ; every effort during the crisis of 1917, Mr, White took a leave of-absence from Governor .Withycombe so that he might go ; with the Oregon men to France as a volunteer in the Ameri "i can- army; ' ' ; i k; 1 s.j -'V ? ;:i l f -V ' - J. : -.. -: . I ; While, he was. away "in service, Oregon's: war Governor J was opposed for re-election by Mr. Olcott, who was defeated fit trt last pe4itr ' Klharflv nffpr. rump ih rfajitri of finv. ernor Withycombe, and when Mr. White returned to his home '( and his work, the war ended, Mr. Olcott as Secretary of State . was sitting in on the job of Governor. , : . ' M It takes' only a cursory inquiry of the laws of Oregon to show that when Mr. White became Adjutant General, the ? tenure clause was the same as it is today.; While he was ab sent in his country's seryice, the law was changed, and the last Legislature restored vthe position o the same status as when he left for service. . As to the- salary increase. Mr. George W. Joseph, chair , man of the Military Affairs Committee which handled that matter, is authority for he statement that Mr. White said he was not asking an increase; and the entire Oregon Na tional Guard Association! of Oregon, which sponsored the State Military Code, will testify that Mr. White openly and directly opposed writing any increase into the bill and was voted down. i ' ' r- In stating that Mr. White "increased the.apprbpriations for his department from $100,000, to $170,000, the Capital Journal neglects to note that the 5100,000 was provided when the National Guard was still in the Army, and that prior to Mr. White's return the little pittance of a force that was built up operated at a loss. No mention of the fact is made that Mr. White brought $200,000 into the state from the U. S. Treasury last , year, and that this money was distributed among twelve counties, $16,000 of it in Marion county And that up to the time of Mr. White s return it was cost ing the state more to operate its military department. than was received back from the federal government But, for all that, why should the Capital Journal try to be honest1 and thorough in such matters, for it is nervous and irritated over the possibility that Mr: White may step in to disturb the possibility of m continued Democratic po litical picnic in Oregon. Coming np; the flax industry. Heaviest snowstorm of the win ter in central Wyoming yester day. ! A real , rpring day in Sa lem. Let's star. The outlook ' for good prices next (all and winter for flax fiber is encouraging. It all sign do not. fail, the independent flax movement is going , to start off with a good year. That will help a lot. It will mean the spinning of flax In Salem in due course of time: ' when the growers and the stockholders of the, new company, and perhaps other companies to be organized, will be getting some of the "spread" that now goes to the twine trust, which is charging fishermen and others $3 a pound for their twine. And It will mean, in good time, the mak ing of fine linen in Salem, and the development of the flax and J hemp Industries here into one of the greatest if not the greatest of all the Industries of Oregon. attitude of the two governments in -respect to radio is Illustrative of the general difference between a monarchy and a republic. Our government is by and for the peo ple to a much greater extent than Is the British. Encouragement of private initiative Is one of the outstanding policies of Republi can management. EMMA GOLDMAN MAY BACK COMK Springfield Republican: Per haps Emma Goldman, the anar chist, will eoon be permitted to return to the United States and lecture In ' our leading universi ties. She begins a series of ar ticles on Soviet Russia, printed in the Jlew York World, by say ing: ; "The Russian revolution as a radical social and, econ omic change meant to over throw capitalism and estab lish communism must be de clared a failure." She proposes to expose the whole horror , of bolshevism and Vthe World feels it is discharging a duty to the public in presenting her articles."

Undoubtedly a ma jority of American voters have for many years favored a single pres idential term of , tlx years as against the present method of choosing chiefs. But majorities do not always count. An In- THE LAND OF THE FREE . It is stated that amateur radio enthusiasts in the United States have about one hundred times as much latitude in the exercise of ther hobby as their brothers in England.' Over there the govern ment arbitrarily restricts the pow er of amateur sending apparatus to such, an extent that their, mes sages carry only 10 or 15 miles. In , the United States the only restriction is one of wave length, and amateur messages are fre quently ' heard a thousand miles or more.

Tneeday Oomnral also er who met Dempsey in the United States last July, will prob ably never be himself again. "The boy does not realize the shape he is in." one of his doc tors Is reriorited to nave said. His .trouble is attributed chiefly to ''the terrific pounding" he re ceived in Jersey City last Bum mer. An exchange says that anyone who has fcen ihe motion pictures of, the Carpentier-Dempsey fight will not be surprised at this an nouncement. Constantly, during the fight Efempsey's arm flashes up and down over his opponent's kidneys. Tha- kind of punish ment the defeated man received in that battle Is the kind that shortens life by years and leaves broken health while life remains. Boxing is one thing prize fighting is another. And for sheer brutality prize fighting as conducted in the United States at the present time is hard' to equal. i EVERYBODY SATISFIED The Democrats are rejoicing because , the IRepubllcan candi date in the special congressional election in Maine received only 62 per 'cent of the total vote. Since the normal Republican vote In that district is only about 54 per cent, the Republicans are al Fo jubilant. For once, apparently, both Republicans and Democrats are satisfied with an election.
