An Injustice
Employment of married women in positions where un
married women could be employed, works a great hardship
upon the latter who not only have to take care of themselves
but frequently of dependents also, and goes far to destroy
the home, for no woman can do justice to both the of
fice and the home. She cannot work down town, keep
house and mother chidren at one and the same time, and
one or the other must be sacrificed.
During the war, labor shortage accounted for the em
ployment of many married women, but this emergency long
since passed, there Is a surplus of workers and more girls
needing positions than there are positions to fill. Every
married woman who deserts her home for the office and
who has an able-bodied husband to provide for her, is
taking the bread and butter away from some needy girl
dependent upon her own exertions. Of course there are
exceptions, but they only prove the rule. Some women use
the money obtained to employ other women to do house
work that is distasteful to them, but these are few.
An unusually large number of married women with
husbands drawing good Incomes are employed in Salem at
the expense of single women. It is no uncommon sight to
see men escorting their wives to and from work in autos,
with apparently no shame at letting their wives contribute
to their support.
Probably the reason why both husband and wife con
tinue in employment is the mutual desire for more money
for luxuries, for autos, movies, clothes, etc., to secure
which the home is sacrificed. If there are children, they
are neglected and the schools expected to make-up parents'
deficiencies, but all too often children are banned to grati
fy selfish pleasure and the childless house can scarcely be
called a home. At any rate the desertion of the home for
the office by married women, is one of the chief contri
butary causes to race suicide, to the growth of the divorce
evil, and to the destruction of the home as well , as a
gross injustice to unmarried women.
Mumbo Jumbo
Some one has sent the Capital Journal an application
for membership in the ashamed-of-their-face order of Ku
Klux Klan, which outside of senseless and silly public ap
pearances in night-gown regalia to make petty donations
to charity and lynching parties for the moral uplift, seeks to
dictate the politics of Oregon by the election of its klandi
dates by its oath-bound membership.
The application calls for a "donation" as the price of
"naturalization," part of which goes to fee the local or
ganizer or "kleagle," and the balance goes to the "imperial
palace" at Atlantic, Ga. to fatten the "imperial wizard"
who conjured up this fantastic fantasy. The application
reads :
To His Majesty the Imperial Wizard, Emperor of the Invisible Empire,
Knights of the KU KLUX KLAN (Inc.) :
I, the undersigned, a native born and loyul citizen of the United
States of America, being a white male Gentile person of temperate
habits, sound In mind, and a believer in the tenets of the Christian
religion, the maintenance of White Supremacy, the practice of an
honorable clanlshness and the principles of a "pure Americanism,"
do voluntarily most respectfully, seriously and unselfishly petition
you tor citizenship in the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan, and be a Charter Member of a Klan to be located at
State of
I guarantee on my honor to conform strictly to all rules and
requirements regulating my "naturalization" and the continuance
of my membership, and at all times a strict and loyal obedience to
your constitutional authority and the constitution and laws, and
all regulations and usages of the fraternity. The required "dona
tlon" accompanies this petition.
Signed '
It certainly sounds like a huge joke, this mummery of
tinsel titles and flummery of faked fetishes, but through
it all runs an ill-concealed and sinister appeal to racial
prejudice and religious intolerance, commercially capital
ized for political purposes, that bodes no good to democracy.
How can any citizen of a free republic so far forget his
freedom and citizenship and his constitutional obligations
as to swear fealty and "strict and loyal obedience" to and be
come a "naturalized" subject of "His Majesty" the self
constituted and self annointed "Emperor" of the "Invisi
ble Empire" of bunk?
EMPIRE'S TOPPLE
WORRIES BRITONS
By David M. Church
London, March 31 Disintegra
tion of the British Empire ' a
subjeet occupying a great deal of
consideration in political circles
here.
Whether or not a forthcoming
general tleotlon and persistent at
tacks on the Lloyd George govern
ment have anything to do with
these discussions, it la fair to
state that the people of Britain
are wondering what the future
of their Empire holds.
With Ireland becoming a Free
State, with the Egyplan protec
orate all but gone, and with ser
ious unrest In India, statesmen
and politicians are discussing the
reasons for the general dlssatis
faction with British rule. Op
oonenta of Lloyd George are not
backward in blaming the presen
atate of afaflrs upon the admin
Istratlon of the present govern
ment, while supporters of Lloyd
George are Insistent that the un
rest In the British Empire is but
another of the aftermath results
of the war.
"Are we losing our governing
Instinct?" asks Lord Rothermere
a brother of Lord Northcllffe, In
discussing the subject. "Are the
qualities which in past centuries
have made Britain feared and res
fleeted throughout the world dis
appearing from amongst us?"
'Test We Perish"
We must find an answer to
these questions lest we perish
from the earth as other great em
pires have perished In the past
. Revolution flourishes under
enfeebled governments and the
true reason why rebellions are
breaking out In various parts of
the British Empire Is that we
have got the yseblest and the
most Incompetent government of
modern times."
Horatio Bottomley, member of
Parliament and stormy petrel of
British publicists, declares that
he Is "not at all happy about the
present look of things In various
parts of the British Empire.
"Ireland, Egypt, India and
some of the colonies constitute
today a sorry satire on that 'new
world' which was to be envolved
from the war. It was a truism,
ind a platitude, during the days
of Armageddon that 'nothing
would ever be the same again';
but I never thought the words
meant that even this old Empire
of ours the heritage of centuries
would have to be thrown on the
scrap heap with other played-out
civilisations.
Discounting political machina
tions, it Is generally admitted
that the leaders of thought In
Great Britain are apprehensive.

trend of events throughout the

Washington, March 81. Sena
torial dignity takes unkindly to
the suggestion of a budget rule
on Senate appropriations, accord
ing to a consensus of opinion.
A movement now under way to
have all appropriations referred
to a single committee on appro
prlatlonst will meet with stren
uous opposition from members of
other committees. At present a
dozen committees are empowered
to recommend appropriations In
connection with bills upon which
they officially report. The new
movement would strip all -these
bodies of the power to recommend
'-he spending of government mon
ey and would necessitate indepen
dent action by the committee on
appropriations.
Senator Warren, Republican,
of Wyoming, is father of the bill
which would change the spend
ing powers of Senate committees
His measure will arouse opposi
tion upon both sides of the Senate
unless some alleviating amencf
ment is added to It.
Senator Jones, Republican, of
Washington, desires that the ap
propriation committee have pow
er to pass upon all appropriations
but be stripped of any power to
Institute legislation dealing with
appropriations. He recommends,
In an amendment before the Sen
ate, that each committee of the
Senate be empowered to suggest
appropriations, but that the ap
propriation committee alone shall
have the power to recommend the
expenditure to the Senate.
Some of the Democratic senti
ment Is reflected by Senator
Fletcher, of Florida. "I think the
senate should move very cautious
ly in changing rules governing
appropriations," he said. "I
should not like to see other com
mittees surrender their authority
to pass appropriations. It Is too
?reat a change."

Mrs. Chester's Invitation to lunch
were quickly allayed. I found her
perfectly delightful. She talked
to me about my home and family
in the sweetist, most motherly
way aud I enjoyed her immense
ly. It was not until the close, ot
the meal that the motive in invit
ing me came out. Then it was
very unexpected.
"Miss Winston," she began,
"since I first met you here I have

"Oh, Mis. Cheater," I exclaim
ed eagerly, "did you know my
father?"
"Yes, If Ralph Winston is
your father,"
"Is he still alive?" I demanded
Iu excitement.
"Don't you know, my child?"
questioned Mis. Chester lu sur
prise. "I never have known a word
about my father except his
name." And then I told my now
friend my life story. That fin
ished I demanded news of the fa

anathema In the house ot my
childhood.
"Your father, Virginia," said
Mrs. Chester, "has only been gone
from Los Angeles about a year.

him, Mrs. Chester? Oh, I must

think that if I did know I would
go to him tomorrow."
"Perhaps I can find out where
he is, Virginia, but if, as you say,
your father promised your grand
father never to make himself
known to you he will keep hit.
word. With Ralph Winston, thai
promise Is as good as the day he
made it."
I turned away from the table
with a sigh. The mere thought
that my father was in the world
warmed my heart.
This knowledge almost took
away my thoughts of Theo. I
wondered if my father knew him?
Perhaps he had even directed
him? If so I was sure that they
must be great friends.
I was glad that night, in the
train, when I found that Mrs.
Chester had the lower berth direct
ly opposite mine. It made me feel
as though some one of my own
people were near.
Of course. Miss Sanson and
Theo both had compartments, but

important for it gave me a little
chance to talk again with Mrs.
