NON-PARTISANSHIP IN GOVERNMENT
Do or do not, tlie Capital Journal, and others of its kind, think the presi
dent should summon to the service of the government for tho war. high
tateH.ian.ship, demonstrated efficiency, proven lendcrylup, from the body ot
loyal American fitions, irrespective of party f Oregoniaa.
That has been President Wilson's policy and we heart
ily endorse it. The men comprising the various war
boards have been selected regardless of their party affilia
tions. Hoover, for instance, is a republican and so is
Garfield, heads of the food and fuel business. In conse
quence practically all those in charge of the war activities
in Oregon, Hauser, Ayer, Newell, Plummer, and an army
of others are republicans- While President Wilson
selected his boards and department chiefs from both
parties, his appointees Hoover, et al, made sure that only
republicans were placed on guard in states like Oregon.
In fact the president has carried non-partisanship so far
that he could do no more unless it were to resign 'and
turn the entire government over to the g. o. p. This
conduct of the war is in marked contrast with the way
the Spanish-American affair was prosecuted when
partisanship was carried even into the ranks of the army
and a democrat was allowed no privilege except to carry
a rifle in the ranks as a private.
Governor Withycombe, lauded by the Oregonian as a
great war governor, has even set a new standard of
partisanship. He has during his term allowed no demo
crat, not protected by legal enactment, to hold even a job
as common laborer around the state institutions, much less
an official position, has made the state fair board a
political machine and pressed the limit of the law on all
Rt.nt.fi boards in the interest of partisanship. At the same
time the governor has announced that he has no objec
tions to alien enemies holding positions under the state
and drawing pay from the public treasury providing they
do not actually commit any overt act against the govern
ment. V
Does the Oregonian endorse the Withycombe brand of
partisanship and the limit to which he carries it?
THE UNKNOWN REALMS
BERGER, AMERICAN BOLSHEVIKI LEADER
Former Congressman Berber, German socialist, is
trying to do to the United States what Lenine and Trot- f
sky, also German socialists, have done to Russia. Berger
and his associates have a more difficult job to perform be
cause of the greater intelligence of the American people,
most of whom can see through the transparent trick.
Berger has the audacity to announce himself a candi
date for senator from Wisconsin and the principal plank
in his platform is a demand for the withdrawal of Amer
ican troops from Europe. This is precisely what Trotsky
did in Russia; he announced that the nation was out of the
war and disbanded the army Then the Germans marched
in, practically unopposed, and took possession of the coun
try. Berger has been indicted, and he professes to be sur
prised to learn that this free country will not allow him
to work for his native land and the kaiser without
hindrance. As a matter of fact he is an arch-traitor and
ought to be shot. He knows this as well as anybody but
presumes on the tolerance of the American people and
the liberalty of our laws to press his shemes to the limit.
Berger may not get what he deserves at this time, but
if the war continues a year or two longer he and all those
traitorous socialists, I. W.W. and foreign agitators who
have found an asylum in this country, will feel the weight
of the mailed fist of an aroused Americanism. The toler
ance of our people is being strained to the breaking point.

be total here and that the Willamette valley Is one of the
favored sections for the notable event. The eclipse will
last for nearly two minutes, and once over will not
respond to an encore, so those desirous of seeing it should
have their telescopes and smoked glasses ready and get a
good seat in plenty of time in advance. Astronomers say
it will be some 300 years before another eclipse will be
visible from the same location, or at least that long before
another so perfect a one will be due.

Our Daily Story
islc4c
We believe it was the poet Saxe who made the caustic
criticism concerning the communications alleged to be
received from those who have passed into the beyond:
"Give us some token of your heavenly birth,
Write as good English as you wrote on earth."
. Ouija boards, planchette and even the spiritual trance
mediums have all given the world information as to hap
penings in the realms which the spirit inhabits after
death, but somehow they are far from satisfactory to any
but the most rabid fanatics. Such communications one and
all justify the comment above that "the spirits progress
is from bad to worse." There have been a few cases where
those who have been in the realms beyond have returned,
but in none of them have there been any intimation as to
what was found on the other side.
What a story Lazarus for instance might have told,
and yet sacred history has nothing concerning him other
than the fact that he came back. In view of what the past
has done it is fair to presume the future will remain as
silent, and that each for himself must learn "what is to
come after us."
It did not take the jury long to reach a verdict in the
trial of Oscar Main accused of the murder of his friend,
Fred Swayne. It would seem that someone made an
egregious blunder in making the accusation, for the trial
showed there was absolutely nothing on which to base
even a suspicion that he was the guilty person. Not one
of the contentions of the prosecution was sustained by
the evidence.
As an experiment 25 carloads of airplane stock will be
planed and made ready for use in Oregon mills. It is
said this is for use in building training machines only.
Just why a stick of timber cannot be planed and finished
in Oregon as well las anywhei-e else is one of the things
it will require a government expert to explain.
Rich Germans send their families to Switzerland.
Switzerland boards them and the United States furnishes
the supplies, or such of them as the German submarines
fail to destroy. It is time to cut off all , supplies from
Switzerland, and all the other neutrals.
Uncle Sam is charging the allies a little more for the
use of the money he loans them but he is playing fair be
cause he has to borrow the money first and he is only rais
ing the interest charges to meet what he has to pay. He
is not "profiteering."
II III I II I j
General Pershing has asked for more cavalry. This
looks like he was intending to make a drive for Berlin
and would do some of the coming fighting in the open.
Organized labor is making a strenuous effort to save
Mooney from the gallows. While his innocence is far
from established, it is evident that events arising subse
quent to his conviction, the showing made as to the con
duct of some of the witnesses against him, and the alleged
bribery of some of these should entitle him to a new trial
at least. The attorney general of California denounced
the trial as a flagrant conspiracy and asked the supreme
court to revoke its decision. President Wilson has asked
that clemency be extended. This however, does not seem
to be quite the right thing in this case. Mooney should
have a new trial and if innocent should be acquitted. If
guilty he should be punished. He is entitued to have his
name cleared of all taint if innocent, and if guilty .the
public is entitled to have him punished as the crime
deserves.

and there a grindstone soars, and here and
there an ax or spade. I stand, exulting, in the blast, and
watch the dizzy world aswing; I see dead cows-go flying
past, and in my glee I dance and sing; for ripping winds
that lift the town, and shake it thrice, then jolt it down,
have always had a fair renown as being harbingers of
spring. First come the winds that roar and shriek, and
blow our whiskers from our ken; and then the skies begin
to leak, and rain brings forth the grass again; the winds
must yell, the rain must sob, before spring's faixly on her
job, with cowslip, rose and thingumbob, and joy is in the
hearts of men.
' Bismuth.
Bismuth, the Swedish spaniel, was
alone in the house.
He yawned, stretched, stretched yawn
ed and wandered into the parlor, where,
reaching up his damp healthy nose, ho
idly traced a figure 8 on the pane on the
left hand window. Then ambling over
to the right hand window, he drew three
little circles.
' ' Wish I had a bone ' ' he thought, ' ' If
it had a little meat on one end, so much
the better.
And he wandered upstairs to the
second story front room and rubbed his
nose against the pane of the right hand
window until he had hade three straight
lines with a cute little dot at the end of
each.
"i know where a bone's buried, if I
could get but ia jthe yard, ' ' he thought,
as he made a cross with his nose on the
left hand pane. . ,
Sitting do'wn on the floor, he scratch
ed himself just to keep his paw in prae
tice, as summer was still quite a ways
off. Then he strolled up into the third
story front room and hado a half moon
on the right hand pane and a question
mark on tho left hand pane.
"Wish they'd get me a dog to play
with,' 'he thought 'awuing.
II.
At 4:30 Mrs. Tuskers, who had spent
the entire preceding day washing the
windows in the front of the house,
came along.
At 4:35, with a peculiar light in her
eyes she began looking for Bismuth.

"You must learn to quell a certain

pleasant things she told me. She had
never seen me show any enthusiasm, so
I was sure George had spoken of this
as a failing.
"I never was called hoidenish be

tention.
"You muft be carefiil that you do
not criticize women older than your
self," was another of her rules. I
knew that she meant George's older
friends, the women of his world.
Then she told mo of books I must

"Oh. Evelyn, itwas awful! simply
awful". I declared in the afternoon.
Evelyn had come over to see how I
got nlong with Mrs. Sexten, and to
fhave passed on anything which I had
learned.
''In what wayt" she asked.
"In every way! She started in by
calling me a hoiden, told me I must not
be spontaneous, that it was bad form
to show my feelings; and a lot of such
stuff. Msybe I won't show my feel
ings when I got as old as she is!

Evelyn laughed merrily. Then said:
"I guess we are apt to show our
feelings - too plainly, Helen. My
mother-in-law told me almost the same
thing, fihe said that "the public
didn't care t.o be bored with gushing
girls."
H Didn't it hurt you dreadfully to
have her talk like that?" I asked,
really shocked.
"Yes until I thought of how much

"Neither can I. Perhaps they saw

"What is it Don't you dare tell

"That's just it. George has an en

first timj I had ever lied about him.
"But ymi will come?" she pleaded.
"Won't it make an odd number."
"No, gcosie! I won't let it," and
forthwith she began to name -over dif
ferent young men she thought she could
invite to take Georges place.
Before she left sho had decided up
on Van Dyke Lawrence, a young maa
whom she described as being particu
larly desirable as . guest.
' ' He is very popular however, and
perhaps I can't get him."
"Have you invited Merton Grayf"
T asked.
"My no! ho'd never come! why he's
one of the most sought after men in
town. Do you know him wellf"
"No, I met him at Mrs. Loring's
dinner. We got on famously, how
ever. I liked him so much, lie waa
so like the boys at home-"
"I'll just call him up from hefe if
you will let me. -If I am fortunate
enough to get him I shall tell him he is
to take your husband's place. Though
I don't believe for a minute he'll come
to my little party."
"Try him and see," I said, some
way sure that he would accept.
"All right, here goes," and she
called Mr. Gray's studio. Ho was in,
and I stood by while she gave the
message. Although I listened I could
not catch what he said, but I dis
tinctly recognized his voice.

For JUSTICE of the PEACE
FRANK DAVEY
I am asking the republican nomina
tion for justice of the peace of the
Salem district because I believe my
self thoroughly equipped to give the
best possible service 'in that important
.position. I came to Salem in 1887, over
thirty seven years ago, and in every
movement sinco for the betterment of
the city and all its enterprises, for
tho development and settlement of the
sta'e, for the safety and support of
the nation. -I have taken a somewhat
prominent part with liand and tongue
.and pen. My life is known to all who
Have lived here a dozen years or more,
and I trust to their verdict. I am a
lawyer by education and havo been in
.close touch for thirty eight years with,
courts, even to the highest jurisdiction.
I know tho work of a justice office
thoroughly. I have not an enemy ia
the world to punish and I know of n
friend who would ask reward at the
cxpenso of justice- Respect for law
and its enforcement without malice,
revenge or oppression is inherent ia
mo and has been intensified by my ex
tensive experience in making laws,
hence, tho public knows what to ex
pect from me. I owe the people of Ka
.lem and vicinity for many friendships.
I expect to repay them by honest, faith,
ful service at all times. .
