Newspaper Page TextPAGE SIX THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. Staining Their Own Record (From the New York World.) Prenldunt Wilson la a hlBtorlnn ag well as a statesman, and he kept the record of history stralpht In the Sel bold interview for the World when he declared that the spokesmen of the republican, party "accord me too much - credit for the conception of the league of nation project." "While I- am . glad," the president continued, "to as . ume the responsibility for the part I ' have played in promoting it, the honor of discovering its merits and appre ciating Us values cannot Justly be giv en to me." The president called attention to the -. fact that William McKlnley "advocat , ed a league of nations more tn.m 15 years before I became impressed with its tremendous Importance and seized upon it as providing the greatest in surance ever devised against war." He mentioned other republicans who had ardently championed It, and he might have called the roll indefinitely. The league of nations was quite as much a republican policy as a demo cratic policy up to the time that Pregl ' dent Wilson went to Paris to write it Into the peace treaty. Roosevelt, as well as McKlnley, championed It. Sen ator JjOdga, in his commencement day address at Union college In June, 19)5, had defined exactly the kind of league that the peace conference produced: "The great nations must be so united - as to he able to say to any single coun try, .'You must not go to war'; and -they can only say that effectively when the country desiring war knows that the force which the united nations place behind peaoe Is irresistible. republican leaders who have mane a partisan issue of the league, and In doing so they have soiled and stained some of the fairest pages in the re-i;n 0f the trans-Pacifio trade by 400, t.,1 ........... 1.1. .. 9 u.. 1..., OA puimuau o1.i;..........p i,h . . f . h,miin- haarA VKaliala years.

Then a partisan conspiracy was organized to defeat or mutilate 5 any kind of treaty that the precedent brought back from Paris. Had It been Wllhu Root Instead of 'Woodrow Wil son who was responsible for the adop tion of the league of nations at Ver- :. H-tllles, Lodge and the other senate re publicans would have been its most vociferous advocates. The president is right when he says , 'Hat the republican party is repudiat ing something that has been cham pioned by Its most Important lenders, it is doing so only under tlie pressure ot reactionary .politicians who are In trnchod In tho senate and are In con- : trol of the party organisation.

It Is-not President Wilson but the mi. woou a aeciarea his answer would be an unequivocal "No" to the question "Are the schools a failure considered in the light of their rela tion to our national life?" Ond reason he gave for his belief was that the school was "the great and fundament al reason for the success of the Ameri can people for It kept open a pathway of opportunity for all the children of common folk," Another reason, he said was, thatniuety percent of our wartime soldiers, who turned thet lde to vic tory, were products of he schools. "A nation that can turn from peace to war so successfully in seventeen months, as we did, cannot be said to have a failing: school system." In a raid on an Astoria lodging house police and federal officers seiz ed 47 quarts of home brew beor and 56 packages of hops. One man an three women were placed under ar rest. The increased buying power Japan, China and other countries in the Far East is 'pointed to by ship ping men as one of the main reasons for the growth of steamship traffic out of San Francisco. Machinery canned goods, and various manu factured products are in greater de mand than ever before, requiring more tonnage than ever was thought of before the war. In its turn the Far East is sending vegetable oils In enormous quantities o this country, and vegetable oil tanks are an important feature of the San Francisco waterfront facilities Increased sugar productions In the Hawaiian islands and the rapid growth of the pineapple industry are attributed as reasons for more ships being placed on the San Francisco- Honolulu run. The "round-the-world" . service rom San Francisco operated by the pacific Mail, was begun with three reighters within the last year. The With Worthless y Russian Money Seattle, Wash. Seattle is flooded with Russian money, according to Dr. Alexander Kohanowski, secretary of the Rualan consulate here who says he is daily called upon affix an apn.-j- Q( priate value on thousands of bits of Kussian paper money. "One man ' came here with 20.000 rubles and asked me how much they were worth," said the secretary. ' His rubles were supposed to be the original Rusitan rubles of the old imperial gov ernment. But I showed him the dif ference between his paper and the be difficult to determine the value of Russian rubles in Seattle. A person with a million rubles in Seattle would be worth $2000 in Vladivostok and $28.50 in other parts of Siberia. "To dress an average family in Siberia would make a million rubles look small, indeed."

The Yellow Cab Com pany of Chicago uses Firestone Tubes exclusively on its 800 taxicabs. The service of th'ese tubes is checked constantly improvements and develop-, ments are arrived at By close watching of a large number of tubes in service not confined to isolated instances the conclusions are accurate and definite: Firestone puts the best in materials into tubes by establishing purchasing, experts at Singapore, center of the world's rubber market Firestone puts the best in workmanship into tubes by organ izing the crack manufacturing organization of the industry on a profit-sharing basis. . And then subjects the finished product to this big-scale road test-in order to get you more for your tube money and more miles out of your faxes.
