W.liat was the reason that governor
Olcott wrote to the district attorney
and not to the circuit judge in re
gard to the 1. W. W. sentences in
this city?

Everybody who carefully considers
the situation knows full well that
the bottom is going to drop out of
this high cost of living before a
great while. Europe and the Orient
is dumping manufactured articles in
to the United States in immense
quantities, and it is easy to s'X'what
is going to happen if this continues.
It is safe to saw that very few
persons who voted to build the gym
nasium at the present time would do
so if it was their own money that
was to be used for that purpose.
Well what’s tile use of beefing, any
way, we are living in a spend thrift
period, and most everybody are af
fected with the awfui malady.

tration of what the home rule party
have been doing in Ireland for many
years. Murder, bloodshed, and disloy
alty are the characterictic of the
Sein Feiners and as they attempted
to assassinate General French fully
proves. Sein Feiners were pro-Ger-
nians during the war, and they claim
they are harshly treated by the
British government, which Is not the
case. The Sein Feiners revolt and
came near causing a revolution in
Ireland when conscription was pro-
posed for that country, and they
were not eonscripted the same as
men in England and the United
States, and now that the war is over
they attempt to take the life of the
English General who fought In
France during the early and trying
stages of the war in holding back
the German army.

We do not think it was necessary
for Governor Olcott or anybody else
to butt in about the sentences passed
upon the I. W. W.'s in this city. Ore
gon is blessed with a large number
of level headed, fair minded judges,
on the supreme court bench as well
as in the circuit courts, and if the
people cannot trust them, they cer
tainly cannot trust anybory. We re
sent this interference on the part of
the executive. In fact, there are more
just grounds for the circuit court
judges aud district attorneys to butt
in and criticise the abominable par
ole system that have been in vogue
at Salem than for the executive to
butt in and call into question the
actions of circuit court judges. Most
everybody remember the spectaular
performances of Os. West, when he
was governor. We are one of those
who believe that one of the causes of
the large amount of crime that now
prevails in Oregon is because too
many criminals have been paroled in
this and other states. If the special
session df the legislature does noth
ing more, it should put a stop to
paroling criminals.

Christmas comes but once a year?
Christmas has never come to him
who has never discovered that it is
better to give than to receive, But
when we discover that giving is get
ting. . . That serving is ruling . .
Tlfit loving is being loved. . . .
That helping is being helped. . . .
That the pure in heart see God today
. . . That our lives gives our lan
guage its power. . .That we have
no enemies if we hate nobody. . .
That overcoming evil is more joyous
than yielding to it. . . That the
Kingdom of Heaven is entered by
right living, not by right dying. . .
That there are no intrinsically bad
people but some of our brothers and
sisters have lost the way. . .
Then Christmas comes to us all
this year. Each day becomes a mer

clearer vision of the Christ Child,
each day grows larger in peace and
good will to men, each day w’e come
nearer our Kingship of the earth and
the fullness thereof, and thus do the
Kingdoms of this world become the
kingdoms of our God.
May Christmas come all the year to
everyone in the world.

Salvation Army’s Work for Fifty-Four
Years Recognized as Worthy of
the Highest Praise.
Except for the iVar the Salvation
Army would have celebrated Its fiftieth
birthday four years ago, but there
could hardly have been a better re
minder of what the army had done
and become in a half century than the
recent award of the Victoria Cross to
three Salvation Army soldiers for their
service In France. Fifty-four years
ago things were very different; the
first appearances of the Salvationists
aroused opposition, rowdies tried to
break up the meetings, fend on at least
one occasion members of the future
army were arrested in England ns

1865. was put on a military basis and
became the Salvation Army in 1S78,
since which time it has grown from
75 corps in England to about 9,000
corps and outposts in more than 60
countries. The army was officially
recognized by King Edward VII when
he received the founder at Bucking

SUFFERED FOR OTHER'S SIN
Pathetic Story Told as an Example of
the Peril That Lies in
Inefficiency.
ASKED TO
AID (J. S.
State Executives To Make
Christmas Gift Savings
Appeal.
Governors of all the states in the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District
have been asked by the Federal
Government to appeal to the citizens
of their respective states to give
United States securities, such as War
Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates as Christmas presents this>
year. Governor John U. Calkins of
the San Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank has also asked the mayors of
the larger cities of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District to issue similar
proclamations.
In Its War Savings Christmas cam
paign the Government hopes to kill«
three birds with one stone:
First: To start the habit of sav-
ing among as many Individuals as
possible,
Second: By cutting down the de
mand for luxuries, under which
Christmas presents may be classed as
a rule, to reduce prices, and,
Third: To raise the Twelfth Dis
trict’s War Savings quota for 1919,
subscriptions to which are far behind
the figure set last January.
Not only has the Government ap
pealed to governors and mayors, but
similar appeals have gone to all
banks In the district and to clergy
men of all denominations. Owing to
the general unrest, of which the Gov
ernment feels high prices is one of the
causes, the appeal Is being made on the
theBis that thrift is a mark of sound
Mfi'erlcan citizenship.
"Economists are agreed that the
present exorbitant level of prices
which constitute not only an eco
nomic but a social menace Is caused to
a great extent by a ‘spending spree'
being indulged in by the people,”
Governor Calkins wrote.
“Indili-
gence in luxuries, which, of course,
causes Increases in the necessities of
life, has raised prices generally to such
unheard of heights that Christmas
buying this year promises a danger*
ous climax, We, therefore, appeal to
you to call upon 'he people of your
State to forego the giving of
the usual Christmas gifts this year
and instead give securities of the
United States Government, such as
Thrift and War Savings Stamps,
Treasury Savings Certificates and
Liberty Bonds. There could be no
more timely effort at stabilization of
prices and production than such ac
tion upon your part and the part of
the people, a majority of whom, I am
sure, would answer your call."
A. R. ITawlA-. president of thelAero
club, told In New York the other day
an Inefficiency story.

said, “for if you have dealings with
him It is you, not he. that will suffer
from his inefficiency.
"A foreigner in outlandish garb
claiming to be an Armenian came here
to solicit funds last year for his com
patriots. It happened that another
Armenian was arrested at the tine,
and the first chap was asked to go to
court and act as his Interpreter.
“Well, he reluctantly consented to
act, though the truth was that he knew
no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he
stalked Into the courtroom, listened In
grave silence to the prisoner's pas
sionate protestations of innocence, and
then turned to the judge and said with
a low bow.
“ ‘Your honor, my compatriot has
confessed all. He begs you, however,
to be lenient for suffering Armenia’s
sake.’
“The Judge thanked the interpreter
warmly for his services, and then sen
tenced the Innocent prisoner to five
years’ hard labor.”
