THE RULING ONE-THIRD
"PEACE ON THE DEEP"
As might have been expected from the gathering of
such a delegation as that now out on the Atlantic in the
Oscar II, there is a wide divergence of opinion as to the
way of going at the task assigned hem by Mr. Ford. The
principal cause of the row, which the dispatches say broke
out yesterday on the peace steamer, seems to have been
the Rev. Charles F. Aked erstwhile pastor for John D.
Rockefeller, aided bv-a Mr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones. The
trouble probably was largely due to the swelled head of
the Rockefeller pastor who imagines that because he
served John D. and presumably God at the same time
thus overthrowing the maxim; that one cannot serve two
masters at the same time; that he is much greater than
his fellow passengers and advocates of peace. The row
started Friday when Aked introduced a resolution signed
y Ford and twenty-three others opposing preparedness,
and intimated that those who refused to sign and indorse
it would be unloaded at the first port. Some of the other
delegates who had think tanks of their own and im
agined they had the right to use them, objected to the
gentleman s methods, and told him so.
The dispatches sav the language became not only per
sonal but at times profane. It is not stated who indulged
in the profanity, but out of respect to the calling, the Rev,
Charles Aked is absolved of any share in it just on gen
eral principles.
Then some of the peaceably inclined of the delegation
proposed a compromise, but this was not to be thought of
Ity Dr. Aked and his followers, and so as tar as those who
are "not at sea" are concerned, nothing is known as to' the
outcome of the row. t , '
The outlook for peace in Europe is not any brighter
on this account.
The peace propagandists seem to be just as bull-headed
and stiff-necked as the rulers they are on their way to
preach concessions and compromise to, and to teach the
beauties of charity, brotherly love, forgiveness and self
denial.
The trouble lies in Mr. Ford's manner of selecting his
delegates. Any old Tammany politician could have told
him there would be trouble unless he picked his men, and
knew they were of the same opinion before letting them
get together. He might as well have assembled an assort
ment of republicans, democrats, bull moosers and prohi
bitionists and then asked them to agree on a tariff rate,
and the saloon question.
And speaking of saloons brings to mind an old story
that illustrates pretty well the gathering now fighting
tor peace out in the middle ot the otherwise peaceful
Atlantic.
A saloon-keeper had hired an Englishman to paint a
f.ign for his place of business and asked the man who was
considerable of a cockney if he could spell saloon.
"Hof course hi can": was the reply; "there's a hess
hand a hay hand a hell hand two hoes hand a hen."
That is about the kind of a mixture Ford has with him.
Bismarck said that one-third of the students in the
universities ruin their lives by dissipation, one-third ruin
their lives by overwork, and the other third rule Germany.
This strikes one as being approximately true, not only
in Germany but everywhere. Despite all the college
failures, it is to college graduates that on the whole the
world looks for leadership.
It is therefore of particular significance that the num
ber in colleges in this country this year is larger than
ever before. Apparently the tremendous effect of the
European war on the material interests of the world has
had the effect of turning the attention of the.

anu young women 01 tnis country irom money-making
id menial cunure.
Even if two-thirds of these students ruin their lives
oy dissipation or over-work, the remaining third who
will rule the country will have full ranks.
We are far from saying that men and women without
college education cannot reach high ruling influence. But

positions of large influence are graduates nf 11povq
It is the growing recognition of this fact that leads so

TO
CALL OF THE NEEDY
Generous Donations of Cloth
, ing the Result of City's
"Bundle Day"
That department of the ftilem. Com
mercial club assigned yesterday for the
reception of bundles of clothing, which
the generous citizens of the city gave
to the needy poor, through the efforts
of the Salem Nodal Service Center, yes
terdny looked more like a second-hand
store than a highly organized commer
cial club.
The response for clothing, shoes, eat
ables and in fact everything that could
be of benefit to the poor was so gener
ous that the several aulos collecting
yct'-rdcy were swamped with orders
ond todnj tho final collections are be
ing made.
After the bundles of today are nil col
lected, the donations, will be turned over
to the r.fiul Service Center, which will
at once begin the assorting and tntririnir
of clothing and shoes. As soon as this
vork is finished, the hundreds of cases
of needy will be investigated and cloth'
ing given accordingly. It is the inten
tion c.f those doing the work of t
Circle to investigate each case quickly
before piving help, in order that what
clothing has been received will be
placed .right.
As the clothing nnd shoes will bo in
demand all winter, those who have not
sent their bundles may deliver them to
the Commercial club. The donations
this year were greatly in excess of one
year ago. but as tho demands are great
er this year, the Center can use every
article sent them and thou not help nil
those who are worthy.

Do You Read Labels?
Domestic science teachers and
food authorities are urging the
housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws of most States compel
food manufacturers to print the
ingredients of their products
on the label, and this enables
consumers to distinguish health
ful foods from those which may ba
deleterious.
High-grade baking powders ara
made of pure cream of tartar,
derived from grapes. Royal Bak
ing Powder is a type of the highest
grade. It is healthful beyond a
doubt and the safest and best
to use.
The low-grade baking powdersj
are made from alum, a mineral
acid salt, or phosphate of lime.,
Consumers can learn the char
acter of the baking powder by
referring to the label, which
must state whether the contents
include cream of tartar, alum or
phosphate.

There are lots of years however that the results might be

carefully and with caution, that is the farmers should
make it a side issue for a few years until all the facts are
learned about its growth and maturing in this section.
After all it does not matter much which side the

to the allies whether they are cooked in their own greecc
