TEE DAILY CAPITAL JOUBNAL
U the only newspapor in Salem whose airculatioa U guaranteed by the
Audit Bureau of Circulations.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL GET IT
The liberty bond campaign ends tonight. Indications
are that there are many snug bank accounts in the city
that have not been lessened a cent by the demands of the
liberty loan. In spite of this, the small subscriber has
helped save the day, and it looks as though the maximum
amount of five billions would be subscribed by the coun
try. It will not be many months before another loan will
be called, and a word of warning just now to those who
are holding back from subscription may not be out of
.' place in advance. The country needs the money. It offers
to pay for its use and interest that will by the time the
bonds are readv for payment be better than 6 per cent.
So far its requests have been heeded, but another call will
have to be met by those who so far have dodged all
responsibility, or other means will be adopted. A country
at war is in the habit of doing things it could not and
would not do in time of peace.
It has to have the money and it is going to get it. If it
cannot borrow it will commandeer. This is a drastic
measure, but it is no more so than it is to take the young
men of the country. It would be preposterous to assert
the government could commandeer or draft men for use
in the war but could not do the same with money. The
slackers can depend on it that what the government wants
in the way of money the government will get, borrowing
if it can, drafting it it it cannot Borrow, ior 11 is going w
have the money. Soon there will be half a million Amer
ican soldiers in France, and the slacker can rest assured
that the government is not going to let them do our fight
ing without everything possible being furnished to help
them win. The slacker who fails to assist in carrying on
the war voluntarily will be forced to contribute, and the
- " . i -11
money may be taken in such a way it win never come
hiek.
Thfi nuestion for the slue-cards to decide is whether
they prefer to loan their money to the government with
the certainty that it will be repaid; or nave it taisen with
out their consent with the date of its return at least in
definite, and interest on it doubtful. This thing of "let
ting George do it," which is somewhat of a habit among
a certain class in Oregon as well as other states, is going
to get a jolt from which it will never recover. It will have
to take the count, and that will not be the counting of its
own money either.
THE BANKS PATRIOTIC WORK
Superintendent Alderman of the Portland public
schools is out in defense of, or rather in advocacy of
teaching foreign language in the schools and especially
insists that German should be one of those taught.
There is getting to be pretty general opinion that it is
time to cut out all foreign languages from the schools and
especially German. One reason is that the public believes
Americans should be educated in the American language
at public expense, and such as want to learn any other
language should do at their own expense. Another reason
is that few, if any, of those studying foreign languages in
the public schools can either speak, write or understand
the language when the school course is "complete," and
hence it is a dead waste of public money. One trouble in
this country is that every department that is created of
any kind and run at public expense, immediately finds it
chief object is to enlarge the scope of its work.
The schools are in this respect no different from other
departments. The state is generous with its money,
spending more for schools than for almost all other de
partments of government, and it should have the fullest
returns possible from this expenditure. In teaching
foreign languages m the public schools it is getting re
turns entirely inadequate, and the expense should be
lopped off, not necessarily in the interest of economy, but
that it may be used to still further assist in the teaching
of the American language.

A SERIOUS CLASH
Now that the liberty loan campaign is at an end, the
Capital Journal desires to voice its appreciation of the
magnificent work of the banks in making the loan a suc
cess and through their efforts making Salem's showing
one of which we need not feel ashamed. Many have
worked and worked hard, and their services are appreci
ated, but after all it was the managements of. the four
Salem banks that at great sacrifices to their business, gave
their time, their energies and their money to the cause
They urged their depositors to withdraw their money and
invest it in bonds. They turned money that would have
gone into the banks in the course of business, into the loan
- funds, depriving themselves of customers and putting
their own business and interests entirely in the back
ground. Few understand or appreciate their work, but
those who have kept in touch with it know how much the
success of the Salem campaign is due to the determination
and self-sacrificing spirit of Salem's financiers, and they
also know that without these Salem's showing would not
have been what it is. -"Well
done, thou good and faithful servants."
The most suggestive statement made recently as to
what Germany expects in the way of peace terms is
credited to a "noted German statesman" who talking to a
Swiss Minister said: The trouble with this war is that
it will be ten years after it is over before I can go to
London, twenty before I can go to Paris and forty before
I can go to Vienna. This indicates that Germany will
throw Austria down just as hard as she has to in making
peace terms, and that most of the concessions she will
make, willingly, will be those pertaining to Austrian terri
tory and at Austria's expense. As Bulgaria has the same
feeling toward both Austria and Germany, there promises
to be a hot time among the present central powers each
trying to give the other the worst of the deal. From pres
ent indications Austria will be made, so far as possible,
the Central power's goat.
There are now at work in government shipyards, or
yards doing government work about 100,000 men. The
shipping board is planning to increase these to 400,000
and to run all yards on the three shift plan. It is the in
tention to turn out between five and six million tons of
shippipng by the end of 1918, and to do this the extra force
will be needed. It is estimated that for each man em
ployed a ton of shippipng a month can be turned out, and
on this estimate it will require the full 400,000 to complete
the work. It may be necessary to conscript men for the
work, though the board is trying the plan of offering ex
tra inducements to laborers to get them without recourse
to this. '

"You told her what?" Bob inter

stood out like cords. His face turned al

The Americans are asked to save, and to conserve food
stuffs hot because there is a world shortage of them, but
because the shortage of ships prevents the handling of
wheat from Australia and other far distant points. This
forces the United States and Canada to bear the burden
of making good the shortage. The allies need to import
about 575,000,000 bushels of wheat to give them a normal
supply, and there is a surplus in Argentine, Australia and
the world cenerallv of nearly 800,000,000 bushels. With
plenty of ships America would not need to think of food
shortage, but as it is, it is up to us to deny ourselves in a
small way to make good the shortage of our allies.
The Corvallis Gazette-Times wants a protective tariff
on all goods we import. Evidently the editor is one man
who thinks the cost of living should be boosted still higher.

PIKERS
Beeswax & Blinken make good soup, which
soup they largely advertise: and when I
find my spirits droop, I buy a can, and feel
them rise. Beeswax & Blinken spend good
yen to introduce their helpful broth, and
so, wherever there are men, their produce
cuts a good wide swath. I buy it by the
dozen cans, consume it morning, noon and
night: I eat it out of bowls and pans, and
always find it strictly right Sometimes
when I am needing soup, by Beeswax and
his partner canned, I toddle to the grocer's
au mTMY , i coop, and ask him for this famous brand.
Sometimes the grocer says, "Odshsh r I do
not keep the Beeswax line; I know it is a famous dish
but here is something just as fine." Oh, then I pull the
grocer's nose and deftly stand him on his head; such
piffle, as you may suppose, will always start me seeing
red. The advertiser strives to make his product's merit
understood; then comes the imitator's fake, which he
pronounces "Just as good.' The thing they wisely ad
vertise is still the safest thing to get; the men who make
it are too wise to fool their customers, you bet.
you choose to remain at home; that's
your lookout. As for me I shall accept
every time 1 get an invitation to meet
clever interesting people."
"I have declined this invitation, de
clined it for us both."
Bob made no answer, but rose from
the table and went to the telephone. To

If Bob was red with anger: I was
whito and trembling with outraged
pride and anger. I tried to speak, but
had to moisten my lips twice before I
could say:
"You don't mean that you have told
Elsie you would got"
"That's just what I DID tell her!"
"Without mef"
"Yes, without you! "
"But Bob oh, don't you love mof
I love you so Bob I want you all to
myself. Don't you feel that way about
mef Don't you love met And Bob you
will stay at home with me won't youf "
"No," he. fairly thundered, "And
you nocd refuse no invitations for me
until I am consulted! you understand!"
Bob never had spoken to me in such
a tone; never had been so angry. Per
haps I had been wrong in not speaking
to him, he might be hurt because of
that.
"I didn't think to speak to you first
Bob. You remember last winter when
I told you we wouldn't go to their par
tics any more, you didn't make any re
ply; and I took it tor granted it was
a promise."
"You take too much for granted!"
he growled.
Could this be my Bob, my thoughtful
kind husband growling at me like a dog
because I had done something he didn't
quite like. All at once I burst into tears.
I couldn't underataucr his anger. He
SHOULD want to stay with me, but evi
dently he DIDN 'T It was time I stop
ped his friendship with these people H
it was going to make him act like that.
I left the table and going to my
room, cried and sobbed for half an
hour; every moment expecting Bob to
come in and tell me he was sorry; and
that he would do anything if I'd only
stop crying he had several time be
fore. But after I had nearly exhausted my
self I bathed my eyes and went into the
living room. Bob was not there. I call
