WHO won the coal strike?
A sick man on his bed in the White House. .
Operators and miners had hopelessly deadlocked and
agreed to disagree.
A mediation conference representing capital, labor
and public found their efforts futile and dissolved.
Congress investigated And talked and accomplished
nothing, as usual. . - 1
The department of justice and the federal courts in
terfered but enjoined in vain.
Governors of affected states met, issued mandates
and passed resolutions, but the strike continued.
The department of labor put forth ernest effort at
compromise, and failed. -.- : . .
- The national fuel administration made a settlement
which settled nothing for nobody accepted it.
The cabinet sweated over a solution and found none.
Then the sick man, stricken down by over-exertions
for his country, crushed by the weight of the burdens he
staggered under, was consulted. He outlined a simple
plan, acceptable tp all concerned and the strike was over.
.Yet good care is taken, in this a3 in all other actions,
to withhold all credit from a constructive executive whose
master mind has solved so many difficult problems and
who so ably guided the ship of state victoriously through
a world war--and who has been rewarded with calumny
and defamation unparalleled.
Roosevelt settled a coal strike and the press rang with
his praises. Wilson ends a coal strike, and the press is
either silent or damns him for not acting before. Yet the
latter achievement was more difficult than the first.
Did you ever notice that the only presidents America
has had whose memory is cherised by the people were
those villified and damned while in office as Woodrow
Wilson has been? The 19th century gave us only three
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. That was because they
loved their fellow man and served humanity instead of the
privileged classes.
An organized effort was made to canonize McKin
ley but despite his virtues, he was a servant of the inter
ests and the people refused to enshrine .him. A nation
wide movement is under way to create a Roosevelt myth
and tradition and place a halo about his effigy. Roose
velt was a much greater man than McKinley, but we
haven't the proper perspective of time as yet to know
whether the people will decide that he really loved human
ity. He also fought the interests part of the time and
received his share of abuse for it.
However, there can be little question but that the fu
ture will accord to Wilson the credit partisanship of the
present denies, and that it will not be necessary to erect
memorials by popular subscription to place him in the
list of great Americans.

: " HITCHCOCK'S COMPROMISE.
SENATOR HITCHCOCK speaking in New York re
cently made the first definite advance towards a
compromise on the peace treaty, stating that the senate
friends of the treaty were willing to subscribe to reason
able reservations, which he defined as follows:
That the domestic affairs of the United States are never to be taken
under -jurisdiction of the League. -
That the Monroe Doctrine Is to be unaffected by the provisions of the
League. ,
That If the United States Is engaged In a dispute with any nation hav
ing self-governing colonies, dominions or parts, each with a vote, all of those
votes are to be disqualified Just ts the vote of the United States Is to be dis
qualified, That the (powers of Congress to declare war remain unimpaired. ' -That
the League has no control over the American Army-and Navy,
And, finally, that the United States if it should desire to withdraw from
the League is to be the sole judge of whether It has performed its obliga
tions so as to give it the right to withdraw.
Most of these reservations are already covered in the
treaty, some of them are superf'uous because no treaty
can alter the federal constitution, but they ought to sat
isfy those who have been clamoring for the "American
ization" of the treaty, by safeguarding the independence
and sovereignty of the United States.
Senator Lodge however still insists the treaty is dead
A Jl . I M 1 1 , ,
turn utilities cuinpruiiuses impossiDie ana wants to make
it a campaign issue in 1920, and as long as the "mild res
ervatlomsts" accept his dictation, nothing will be done.
The Capital Journal again urges its readers to fill
out the ballot printed on page one, in order to let congress
know the sentiment of this community regarding action
on the treaty. It is evident that only pressure of public
opinion will force the -senate to act. The ballots will be
forwarded Oregon senators. ,.;.,, ,-
Just called you to tell you that I think
perhaps if you will think about it you
will understand it Is the only tiling
you can do to stop the scandal. that
is brewing."
"I don't know to what scandal you
could -efer," same in scathing tones
over the wire. 5 I ' "
"I refer to the scandal that was in
the morning paper and unless you can
help me in this matter I want to say
to you right now that I shall be noth
ing whaatever to protect your name."
. "I do not think my name needs to 1
be protected, Mrs. Gordon." '
"Oh, all right, If you feel that way :
about it, but may I mention to you (
that if that girl dies at the hospital 1
John will be indicted for manslaughter
and yA will probably be involved."
I heard a queer little sound and I
knew that this was the first time she
had looked at the episode in this light.
"Do you mean to tell me that they
can arrest me?" she asked, 'or are
you saying this Just to scare me ?'
"I am telling you the absolute truth
and I will also say that unless we can
make It appear that I was perfectly
cognizant of the fact that you were
out riding with my husband, near a
disreputable roadhouse after mid
night, you will be ostracized by every
woman in this city whose acquaintance
you particularly care to keep. I will
add that I am not doing this at all
for your sake, tut for my own."
"How about John?" she asked.
"Personally, I have no feeling In the
matteit for either of you "
"Then you don't think I am wholly
to blame?"
'" in not think you are any more
to blame than he is, but while we are
talking about the matter I may say to
you that ever since I have been mar
ried to John Gordon you have tried
your best to. make me unhappy, and
you have almost succeeded in doing It.
If it were not for the sake of the child
which Is coming to me soon, I am
sure that I shou'.d try to condone this
at all. Shall we' call for you in half
an hour?" .
"I suppose soi," she answered, life
lessly, and hanging up the receiver, I
turned to my husband. His face was
livid and his eyes were blazing.
"What is the matter?" I asked.
"It wasn't necessary to tell Bess
Moreland thaf lie, was it V be asked,
his voice shaking with an emotion I
did not understand. - H
"But it isn't a lie," I answered.
"My God, do I have to face this,
too?" he said to himself in a whisper.

COYOTES INCREASE
There are fully 60 per cent more
coyotes in Oregon at this time than
there -a ere a year ago, according to re
ports reaching Dr. W. H.. Lytle, state
veterinarian. Dr. Lytle attributes this
Increase to the fact that so many home
stcacieia who rormerly trapped for a
living have deserted the prairies of
centra and eastern Oregon for the
larger industrial centers, due to' the
high wages, leaving the coyotes free
to propagate. i . .

Alice answered quite petulantl)
when I told her that John and I were
coming around after her.
"I just feel, Kathorlne." she said.
"that it would be a good thing to !3t'
John and Hess Moreland get out of

Bess is going a little bit too far, aud
she ought to be pulled up pretty
straight, I'd say! It Is one thing to
flirt iwouud with married men while
some of, the wives are present, and
quite another tiling to go on a drive
late ut night with a married man
whose wife is away from home, and!
expect to evade scandal.
"That girl's love of admiration will
get her into trouble yet! Anyway, I
don't see why I should be drawn into
this affair." ihe continued, "if you
want to whitewash liens and John, all
away from 'Miss Moreland' and all
her kind In the future."
"But, Alice," I said, after listening
to her tirade over the 'phone, "I sur
mise that Tom feels rather sorry for
me, and surely he will not object to
your helping me out in the matter,
will he? -Just now the thing that you
can best do for me will be to come out
driving with the arch criminals of the
Party."
"All right, I'll do It, but you can
make up your mind that I shall let
them understand that I think they are
arch criminals." . L
"I don't care what you say, as long
as you keep your lips smiling. Folks
can't hear what you nay in the motor
and they will be watching your face."
I had asked John to call Bess up on
the other 'phone while I talked with

I said: "This is Katherine Burke
