THE DAILY CAPITAL .IOI K.NAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whoso circulation is Audit Bureau of Circulations. guaranteed by the SAUCE FOR THE GANDER The strike at Seattle which is causing the citizens of that recently badly shrunken village to walk, was caused by the street car management refusing to stand for one of its motormen joining a union. He was fired and the balance fo the motormen walked out while the citizens walked any old place they desired to go, unless they patronized the hated jitneys. The railway management thus did a great stroke for their rivals' business while tying up their own. They took the ground that the com pany would not deal with the men collectively, and yet J that is exactly what they compel the men to do in dealing with them. What would they think if the men insisted in doing business with the stockholders individually? Would they stand for it even if the men only insisted on dealing with the board of directors instead of the man ager of the road and its business? A workingmen's union is nothing more or less than a business organiza tion, just as the corporation owning the road is. Why then should the managers of the road object to the men doing exactly a3 they do? One is an organization of capitalists, the other an organization of laboring men. Why should there be different rules governing their ac tions and their business dealings? However it is not our affair, as we do not have to do the walking, but at the same time it strikes its it is very much the affair of the people of Seattle who have their business interfered with, and so far as they are concerned the result is the same no matter which side is to blame. There is probably considerably more serious trouble in Germany and Austria than is given out. What is learned of the situation is discovered through leakage across the border and is certainly not a full account of affairs.- Austria evidently wants peace, and is almost at the breaking point with her ally. That she will stay awhile longer is undoubtedly true, but the tension is great and it is only a question of time until the break comes. What makes the danger of a break greater is the Czechs and others, who now that Russia is out from under the rule of the czar, find race feeling and sympathy increas ing and a growing desire to be free as the Russians are. Austria is composed of a conglomorate mixture of races, and at least half of these are naturally in sympathy with Russia. Under the conditions a break is sure to come, and it is not likely to be delayed long. Fourteen of Oregon's counties over-enlisted their quotas and consequently will not have the draft. This is another record for the state. Yesterday Marion county was feeling rather chesty, being at the time the only county mentioned that had enlisted more than her quota. She does not feel any less chesty today, but congratulates the other thirteen on having done the same thing, and thus placing themselves in the same class. Sixty I. W. Ws. in jail in Washington have gone on a hunger strike because they do not like the way their meals are served. This furnishes an excellent opportun ity to give this sort of a strike a thorough test. The jailer should provide the food as usual and pass the' buck up to the men. It would not cause a great deal of sorrow should some of them stay on strike until they won, and got free transportation to the local cemetery. That statistician who figured it out that getting rid of all the dogs would save $910,000,000 worth of food rtuffs, neglected to also show the saving that might have been made in the clothing stock of the country by utiliz ing the dog's pants. They pant at the rate of about 120 times a minute which would equal sixty pairs of pants and with 2u,000,000 dogs well, figure it out yourself. The weather man vesterday promised rain for the eastern Oregon grain belt. This was a worthy act on his part for it will save the crops. Now that he has found out how to conduct himself it is hoped he may also pre scribe the same treatment for the Willamette valley. At the same time he need not overdo it, for the cherries are not yet picked and just a little rain will do. The British hit the kaiser and the submarines another hard jolt when they captured four German steamers These will be put at work for their captors and the Ger mans will have the doubtful pleasure of torpedoing their own ships, lhe four are just that much help toward standing off the submarine losses. J It Can't Be Done I . Speaking of slackers, what term should be applied to those states that are still holding back the draft? There is no possible excuse for their delay other than gross mismanagement. Uncle Sam should get after them and not allow them to infringe on the perquisities of the United States senate. Those deported anarchists now down at Globe threaten to return to Bisbee, kill every man who Carried a gun during the recent tramp exodus and take the widows unto themselves. Murdering the men is bad enough, but condemning a woman to associate with them is worse many times. The chautauqua ends with the week and then it is get 'ready for the state fair. By the way this event promises to eclipse all similar affairs. The agricultural exhibit will be a wonderful and surprising display and the stock show will discount any ever held in the state. i There was hope some time back that the bridge ques tion had been solved, but apparently the matter has been forgotten. Sometime though there will be a new bridge maybe after the war. Germany has not only ditched Hollvveg, but at the; same time has relegated the zeppelins to the boneyard. At the beginning of the war these were her great reliance, and the kaiser expected with their aid to sail over all countries and subjugate them. He has discovered his mistake and is now turning the attention of his artificers to making aeroplanes. If he keeps up with the United States when that $13-10,000,000 is available for airships! 1 1 Ml 1 A 1 . 1 1 . J 1. t-i.

If Greece gets her army of a quarter of a million into action this year there is likely to be a warm time in Bulgaria. Rippling Rhymes t by Walt Mason Crops Suffering From Lack of Rain The weather report 'and crop eondi tions for the northwest compiled by the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation company for the week end ing July 14, shows that rain is badly needed in various parts of eastern Ore gon and Washington.

THE DIRECTORS The brand new directors of the brand new Over-Night Mining com pany grouped about the new directors' table of tv.issled walnut leaned hack in their 'comfortable chairs of pibbled leather and looked about the newly appointed office as they exhalted great clouds of expensive tobacco smoke. Under their feet the vermiform flooring was covered with three rare salagus rugs. Through a glass par tition they could ee three beautiful stenographers manicuring their nails at three priceless stindlewood desks. One of the directors, a little man with a worried nose, spoke: "(rentleni"n that is fellow direct ors I hope I will be pardoned, hav ing paid 410,000 and been made a director of this company, from which I have already received half a mil lion in dividends, if I make so bold as to ask question. Or, to be exact, two questions. First, I should be very grate ful to be informed of the location of the mines upon which this billion dol lar company has been formed, and sec ond, it would give me great relief to have a slight inkling as to the natut're of the metals mined in those mine." There was a startled silence, broken only by the gentle sound of tobacco smoke eomhig in contact with the ceil ing. Then another director spoke: "Fellow directors, I think Mr. Squid- die's inquisitiveuess is- simply galostr oub. I move that we give bim back his money and kick him out." The motion was carried with only one dissenting vote that of Squaddies, and again there reigned an air of opulent peace. And He Did if.; is "CO.., fV A- f1 V-AT, - ij" - .,ov vvi" " .

W. STRAUS Prtitimt Amurua Sttittj ftr Thrill Moss Covered Fossils Debate Airship Bill Washington, Juiv 18. With Smolder ing opposition to the bill yet to break forfh from Senators Lafollette, Gronna and others, the senate today debated the D40,0OO,tKH) aeroplane measure an hour and then put off further considera tion until tomorrow. Reed suggested a vote might be tak en immediately by unanimous consent. I.aFolIette replied significantly, "I don't think it en." Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the bill, said he lad not decided his plans for it. Attack on the bill today centered on wo points its draft provision and its blanket authorization of M0,000,000. House leaders denounced the threaten ed delay of the bill by LaFollctte and Gronna. Eepresentative Kahn, Cali fornia, declared America might lose the war if the senators' opposition was prolonged. It is expected the great drawing will take place some time this week. All arrangements are complete except the receiving of the reports from a few states. Under the departments apportionment Oregon will have to furnish but 717 men, and this should not make any perceptible shortage in our labor supply. An hour longer in the fields or at such labor as one does, will make up for the loss of their work and that of all the boys who have en-! listed. Klamath Falls probably does not need any protection. The citizens there are thoroughly aroused, and have abundant warning of what they may expect from the I. W. Ws. It is probable they will take care of themselves and their property all right now they have felt the effect of I. W. W. teachings and seen the result of their acts. i 5 LADD BUSH, Bankers Established 1868 CAPITAL - - - - - - - $500,000.00 TRANSACT A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS .

It i i especially urged, as a patriotic duty, that the h ou s e w ife can as much food as pos sible. If this Is done in every home in America we will not have to worry much next winter about a national food supply. Every bit of fruit and vegetables that can possibly be preserved should be stored away. The United States Department of Ag riculture recently called attention to the fact that in these war times food will be a prime factor in the achievement of vtctorv: therefore the canning of fruit and vegetables this summer rises to the dignity of service to tne nation. No doubt every housewife is familiar with the rudiments of can ning but if one desires still fur ther information on this subject, a postal card request to the United States Department of Agriculture will bring you a great amount of valuable data. Advantage should be taken of the present situation to organize canning cluhs. and the United States Department of Agri culture is prepared to give "all jneeded information on this subject Housewives, who would like to make a little pin-money can do s by studying the canning question. . for there is always a prol'uabh market for good home-made- can ned foods. The question of taking care of perishable food and guarding it against the destructive force . which are prevalent in the sum mer, should be given special at tention this year. The first thinf . to remember always is that per. ' ishable foods must be kept coot and clean. Bacteria and germ( breed in warm food and quicklj make it unfit foi consumption. Bear in mind that the moment fish, milk, eggs or meat get warn they start to spoil, Remember that dry cold is a better preserva tive than damp cold. Remember, also, that one of our worst enemies is the common house fly which carries so much tilth and disease. Keep your hom free from flies. Rats and mice, also, carry germs of disease and destroy much food. A statistician recently made the statement that rats destrov enough property in the United States every year to pay the interest on the Liberty Loan. No one knows whether this is exactly true or not but every citizen should take upon himself the task of exterminating our three greatest pests rats, mice and flies. If every home in America w-iU go the limit of its possibilities in exterminating these plagues and will also stop all possible waste of food, it will mean a lone Rfrirl oward victory over the enemy. t 2 AT.
