Ex-soldfer laments the fact that we do not show proper re spect for our flag in parades, etc.. and in this opinion we are heartily In accord, The trouble does not He in the fact that we are unpatriotic, no much as that we are so accustom ed to seeing tho Stars and Stripes used to drape everything fom a fence post to a donkey engine, that we do not regard it as anything out of tho .inr Tf the lust legislature had not seen so much "red" and Instead f nnmlna a preposterous, silly law prohibiting the display of a few non- nensicai emoiems mm- " of us wouldn't know the meaning of if we saw them. had. instead, passeo a law placing the proper safeguards around Old Glory, we might be In position to criticise the average man for not paying more attention to it's passing.

PATRIOTIC CITIZEN. ;4 I PERIL OF POLAND Poland is paying the penalty for imperialism. Li j a f" and foolish attempt to restore ancient Poland, with its borders stretchiing from the Baltic to the Black Sea, and at the sam time secure revenge for age-long oppression, a Polish army inved Russia, forcing its way through the Ukraine into south ern Russia. In extenuation it can be pleaded for Po and that war with Russia was already in progress and the Poles hoped by an offensive to reap speedy victory on battle grounds of their own choosing, rather than await the Russian invasion. Even the Allies, who sponsored the recreation of Poland ana stand ready to protect her integrity, disapproved of the Polish offensive, which had the effect of uniting all factions of Rus sians to resist the foreign yoke. The late followers of Denekine joined the Reds in defending their country and expelling the invader. Deprived of Allied assistance, overpowered m numbers by Soviet armies, the Poles, after an initial series of brilliant victories, were defeated along their entire front and forced back within their borders. Altho Poland has appealed to the Allies to intervene with Russia, and has petitioned the enemy for an armistice, even cninc ao far as to chanse governments and place a Socialist at the helm, the victorious Reds, after agreeing to an armistice, con tinue their progress into Poland, pressing towards Warsaw and Lemberg. The promised armistice has not stopped the battle, and the Reds are pressing for more advantageous positions. The Deril of Poland has awakened Europe to the menace of a Red invasion. Ludendorf has offered to lead an army of 1,500,- 000 Germans against Russia provided Posen is returned to Ger many. England and France have notified Russia that the Red advance must cease and Poland be preserved or the Allied armies will cme to her assistance. Vast forces of munitions are being sent the Poles. Hungary, Lithuania and other border states have signified willingness to unite in a concerted attack from, all quarters against Russia which menaces them all lest they in turn be annihilated. Lenine is taking advantage of the situation to exact recogni tion from the Allied Powers of the Russian government and favorable treatment. He has the opportunity to secure the peace necessary to economic rehabilitation, if he really desires it. At best, a peace will be probably only a truce in the war of the Reds upon civilization. , It is a question how long Lenine and his regime could survive with peace prevailing. Thus far he has had the advantage of a war against the world to unite Russians behind him. Peace might signal the collapse of the Soviet tyranny. PROSPERITY ASSURED Report of the federal reserve bank shows a slowing-up of industrial activity in July, a reduction in speculation and a gen eral readjustment in business. It is evident that the peak of inflation, or high prices, has passed and that there is a gradual return to the normal. Improvements are noted in the trans portation problem, altho freight congestion still seriously inter feres with industry. Cancellation of orders, indicates that buying, which is still general and in large volume, is proceeding with more judgment and discretion. Scarcity of goods continues in many lines. Land speculation is diminishing. Building is continuing despite strikes and costs. Restricted credits have curtailed luxuries, but will aid the moving of crops. Extravagant buying is on the wane and saving deposits increasing. The threatened labor shortage in the harvest fields failed to materialize. Instead there was a surplus of labor and wages declined. The stagnation in the woolen and , cotton industry, largely due to profiteering, ha3 increased unemployment, and it is very evident the peak of high wages has also passed. The nation's industries have been running at forced speed a&d boom prices and an easing up is to be expected. Food products will remain high because the cost of production' is greater and the demand still heavy. The most reassuring feature for the future is the abundant crops. Grain and hay and all other essential yields will be lanrer than usual and with the high prices prevailing, an era of pros pcrity is assured. When harvests are plentiful, . and farming profitable, when there is work for everyone and a market for nearly everything produced, the calamity howler must take to the tall timber. In no section are prospects brighter for con tiued prosperity and expansion than in the Willamette Valley.

I saw this very piainiy tne moment I made my ap pearance at the Country club on the nignt or my arrival with Helen and v.x.v, ciuaucin naa come over with one of her boy satellites a group with which she is always' sur rounded. For a moment, before she was able to veil her surprise, I saw consterna tion in her face.

Isn't it strange that many women who can manage men so beautifully do not take the trouble to make wo men their friends. Elizabeth seemed to take quite as great Joy in humiliating me as she did In making John do her bidding. For the next two days the whole Gordon family, with the exception of myself, seemed to be in a blue funk over my decision to not only remain In the most expensive rooms of the most expensive hotel in town, but to receive all my friends there with a seemingly perfectly unconscious idea of how the tongues of our little set were wagging. Until this time I had always stood by Elizabeth because I did not wan a scandal, but there is always a time that good nature, or even the feir of the screech of people ceases to be a virtue.
