This mild state ment somehow offended the big paper, which says of and concerning The Capital Journal: "This paper lias been so busy trying to fix things with the new Salem administration to I be satis faction of tho Salem siiliKins that it has no time to look Into the facts about any political matter, even If It had the inclination to state them. The OivKnnlnn has nowhere said that Mr. Teal will be. appointed secretary of the Inte rior. It has said that ho should be appointed." Tho Oregonlan Is and always has been n stickler for tin- niceties or lan guage and this trait predominant, saw lit to assume Hint It was charged with saying Teal "would b appointed. While tho Oregonlun editors aro sticklers for tho niceties of language, they are not so punctilious about tho due observance of the truth, The Capital Journal linn not. editorially dis cussed or mentioned the saloon or llipior (luestloti In any way, nor lias anything concerning the liquor or sa loon matters appeared In Its news col li mini other than the slaleiuents of fconio candidates, whose views the Journal neither condemned nor en dorsed. It H self-evident, this being tnii', that tho statement of the espiiclal but not particular editor, (he four-eyed mentor furnishing mental pabulum for the Intellectually helpless of Oregon, Is lucking all tho elements of veracity. Tills especial editor uses the. truth with a prodigal frugality If we may be permitted tho term, that Invades the rcalnm of parsimony. To cut. the frills off tho language, lie gratuitously Knowingly and maliciously lied, or at least, that Is tho way the horse editor expresses It, and he puis him In the two-mlnulo class, too, LADY V0TKIIS I'E At EAIII.K. that Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and South Dakota farmers are turning thulr live stock into tho corn fields, because they cannot secure tho labor to harvest the grain. Farm help Is not to be had. High wages seem to be no inducement. Men cannot bo pre vailed upon to go from the city into the country, and the abundant crops of tho past season aro rotting in the fields. It is fortunate that this situation Is not universal, but It prevails U an extent that demands ntetntion. Tho solution that demands attention. The sal Interest. Jf the farmer Is to Slav on tho farm and cultivate tho soil for the benefit of the dwellers 111 the cities, lie must have asslslanco In. har vesting the crop he has raised. If the dweller in the city Is to have food products at a price within his means it becomes to him a malter of vital Importance that, farm products rejich him at. a minimum cost. Tho two hypotheses are associated a the prob lem of getting sufficient farm labor at prices that will compensate tho labor er without adding to tho cost of the product so as to inako It prohibitive. Here Is an essential In tho cost of living problem. If the scarcity of la bor is permitted to discourage tho farmer; to drive him to reducing his acreage and his product; to add to the l.arvi'Bt oust; the nrlces of nritlmirv rood stuffs from the farm will soar to tiltitudes now iinthougbt of. Uvo stock will follow suit, ami the living cost will bo higher Ihan ever. Publicists will find food for thought in this situation. It Involves ono of I ho greatest Industrial questions of 'be day, and it must bo met with cour age and Intelligence. A Kansas City belle has been voted Hie second prettiest girl in tho world. Tills places her so far ns pretty girls are concerned next to Salem. DOZENS of cities and (owns In Hie state aro holding elections today, and Oregon women for the trst time In history are casting their votes ns luu iiciiKisI citlzeiiH ami legal vol- I vis. Here n Salem the new order of things has not caused any serious trcuhle. The ladles have gone to the polls, voled and gone homo again without any fighting or hair-pulling, and tho election has passed or Is puss ng Just as peacefully and orderly as those licfore this "disturbing element" lilt Into the sacred prerogatives of the 11 ale sex. There were some In it,., .,1,1 du.i who fancied the world turn up on olgo and wo would all go Ismncing Into perdition, once women were given the right to vote, but from the way the election has passed to day, they were surely mistaken. The li.dles have demount rated that they can lot Just as gentlemanly at elections as mi) body. However, the insults w ill be looked for tomorrow with keen In terest, ,is Indicating the trend of the votes feminine. Two deti-ctives In K'ansa.H City have been arrested on tho charge of rob bing n visitor. They wero probably Just, emulating the New York sleuths and struuiillnir l O l'if III, It, I.. 1... 1 n- v ,, j, iiuu mi liums class. Tho weather today Is certainly line for Hie time of year and must have been ordered by the weather clerk an a special favor to the new women vot es. It will be seen from this that when the women vote, "December's as pleasant as Mav." The big minstrel show Is to be given I'riday evening in the Grand opera house. This Is under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. of Willamette Univer sity, and the money derived from the performance will be used to give the youngsters of Salem who will not have a real Christmas a chance to have one. The show will be a high class mu slcale and a clever minstrel combined. The Boiolsts who will lead the chor uses are all exceedingly well fitted to handle the positions, and are old hands at the business. The songs to be ren dered are all new and snappy, and you will certainly get a good chance to see what a real chorus of 70 people can do. The famous colored soloist, "Dlack Pattle," and her renowned miartet will render several selections, which aro all new to Salem. The great comedians from the east will surelv how some good stunts, and keep the people in an uproar from beginning to end. The leading musician of Tacoma, stated after witnessing one of the re hearsals last week that "the perform ance to be given in Salem this coming I rlday Is a show of the highest type. It combines both the comical and high class productions, In nn exceedingly clever manner, and is certainly a show of great merit. No one can af ford to miss It." Furthermore, the orchestra to ren der the songs on the big night is one of great fame, and this alone should Influence you to attend the show. The price of admission Is very low, being 50 cents for the orchestra circle i.nd first rows In tho balcony; 3,'j cents for tho best seats In the balconv, aside from the first row. The boxes can be reserved at a very nominal price Seats on sale at the high school and Willamette 1'nlverslty now, and will bo on salo at tho opera house on Thursday and Friday, Seats purchased any place except the opera house can be exchanged for reserved seats with out any additional cost. Thoso purchased at the opera house need not be exchanged. Buy-yours now, and be sure -of a good seat.

That Governor Wilson favors prompt action by the p-w Congress to reduce the cost of liwng Is plainly shown by the Impatience with which ho receives suggestions that there must be more commissions and more inquiries. "They have been Investi gating the tariff all my lifetime," he said. It should be r.dd'd ihat nobod;' calls for a commission v hen ho wants to make up a tariff schedule. Com missions gain favor only when the people ask relief from the extortions practiced upon them by favored In terests. Commissions move slowly and in the end accomplish, nothing. Junkshops everywhere are glutted with reports of commissions. The Investigations of the tarifr that have been proceeding for a life time have not been altogether offi cial. Consumers numbering millions have taken the trouble to Inform I themselves and they have learned some things thoroughly. They know that taxes can be decreased as easily as they can be Increased, and they know that If an Increase can be made I in behalf of a self seeker overnight, a decrease need not necessarily be a I solemn and laborious proceeding cov ering months and years. If tho people bad been as atten tive to their own affairs as they should have been, tlinse processes would have been reversed. Taxes that reach the food, clothing, household goods and Implements of all Ameri cans have been Imposed without, in quiry or discussion In a Bingle day. Jokers yielding millions to ciaft and graft have been put into the law In an hour. These wrongs are known and they can be corrected by the stroke of a pen. Measures for the relief of the people have dragged along for a generation. Prompt action Is necessary to keep faith with the millions, to remove uncertainty and to forestall further agitation, but It Is supported by an other Important reason. It Is neces sary In order to destroy the super stition brl by the beneficiaries of privilege that this tariff idol Is too holy to be touched by those whose substance its worshippers devour. The assumption that Governor Wil son will move quickly after his In auguration as President seems to be Justified no less by his character and principles than by his utterances. He, too, has Investigated the tariff all his life and he knows as well today as he probably can a year or two from today what Is needed to correct the worst or Its Injustices and oppres sions.

It seems to me that I have rend of a man being sent to tho iienltentlary In recent times for stealing a ham of meat.

Dana, of the Oregon Dally Journal, gave what Is commented on as the best lecture on the Immigration question ever given in Salem. The lecture of Mr. Dana was entitled 'What About the Immigrant?" The address was Illustrated with lantern slides. It dealt largely with the future pop ulation of the I'nlted States, the snenk- er dealing especially with the care that must be taken of the growing children of the foreign population. Agricultural pursuits were mentioned ns promising the best solution of the Immigrant problem. Numerous pic tures of model farms were thrown on the screen, most of them pictures taken from Oregon scenes. The lecture of Mr. Dana was supple mented by a musical program Of hiKh order. The special musical numbers consisted of a piano solo by Miss Ger trude knkln, a baritone solo by Rev. H. T. Habcock, cornet solo by E. H. Chilcraft, and soprano solo by Mrs. Morrison Iteld. The song service pre ceeding the lecture was led bv Mrs Reid. POSITIVE PH00F. .Should Convince tho (.'rcafest Skeptic in Salem.
