Ing It stated that, "If either King or
Teal gets the place, It will not bo the
hitter, i ho Oregonlun to the contrary
tirtwitliKtandlng." 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.

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"

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.

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

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

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.

The question of white Blavery has

Its horrors as it has most porthy iico-p!e.
Hut the particular point I have In
mind now Is tho light punishment that
Is meted out to the fiends. 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. I
am sure I read within the last month
of a man being convicted of white
slavery and receiving an Indetennt-
nato sentence of from one to two
years. White slavery will never be

AT Y. JT. ('. A. SIXDAY
Before an audience of 2.'0 people at
the Y, M. C. A. yesterday afternoon
Marshall N. 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.
