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. New-s print paper in Canada is one half the price what it has been sold for in the United States. Talk about profiteering, the paper manufactur­ ers in this country are the real thing, and the Democratic government, which keeps howling about profiteer­ ing. allows those rascals to fleece • the publishers and those who use paper. Í 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. -----—o 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. A Destructive Tax. o------ II I Night school re-opens January 5th, at the High School Bldg.

At times,, I could hardly work as my back hurt so badly, I could hardly lift anything and to stoop over was almost impos­ sible. When I got down,, I could hardly get up. My kidneys were out of order and their action was very irregular. I felt miserable all over. I decided to take Doan’s Kidney Pills after hearing so many of my friends recommend them so highly.

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 “disturbers of the peace.” Originally simply an attempt to make converts by outdoor preaching, the 'movement which WilUgni Booth started in July. 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 ham palace In 1004; a different yet re­ markable “official recognition” oc­ curred quite recently when a tableau honoring the Salvation Army was made the climax of the current "Ziegfeld Follies" on Broadway. 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. ( “Beware the inefficient man,” I to 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.” --------------------------- 1 London Now Less Noisy.
