The Oregonian takes an opportunity to criticise the f!nnit.;il Journal for condemning the nernicious activities of unon labor leaders in the various war plants of the i remain with him for years at a time The long abusive bunch of lies mis-statements and misinformation printed as resolutions of the printers' union over the name of one Sefton of the state printing office is not worthy of attention. i It would amuse the people - of Eugene, Boise and Roseburg to read that the publisher of this paper was 'i "run out" of those cities. It would be especially interest ing down the road at Eugene where Mr. Fisher is pre sident of the Eugene Daily Guard, -the principal news paper there, at the present time. As to residence in Pen jdleton, referred to in this same article, we have never I been there except to attend two different sessions of the State Editorial Association, and as we managed to do nothing that brought us into th dutches of the city po lice, we cannot quite understand what the reference to our having lived there means. , As a matter of fact the publisher of the Capital Jour nal has always conducted union shops, has a reputation for fairness to labor and the fact that employes generally I Hie Woman Who Changed J - . . By JANE PHELPS country. Chas. M. Schwab condemns these same labor lead ers in severe language and the Oregonian indorses and praises him. The reason for this wide difference in the treatment of the same subject is undoubtedly the desire of the Ore gonian to assist the men who want to "get" the Capital Journal. It has been cutting into its field very materially in the Willamette valley. As a matter of fact the Capital Journal gave the union printers the following commendatory editorial mention on July 8th: "The International Typographical Union has issued a statement which puts that organization in a class by itself, among . the unionized trades. It shows that there has been but one strike of printers since the war began and that every effort has been made to adjust wages harmoniously between printers and publishers on a basis that will simply take care of the increased cost of living due to war prices. In all cases but one this matter has been adjusted to the mutual satisfaction of employes and employer, a reasonable bonus being agreed upon in many instances to continue during the war only, without mak ing any permanent raise in the scale of wages. The pressman's unoi'n also has adopted a similar policy, real izing the predicament in which the war has placed news paper publishers and the necessity for pulling together in a time of national peril." The contention that the strike was an individual walk-out is of course ridiculous. The editorial in question was printed July 8th, and the decision to walk out was not made until Sunday, July 13th, after an all-afternoon session in which State Printer Lawrence and Sefton, a henchman of the governor, also employed by. the state printing plant, were the principal spokesmen. No notice of the decision was given the publisher before .or after it was reached and apparently every effort was made to keep it from him in order to cripple or close the plant en tirely. What would the Oregonian say if all its printers quit at once, without notice, because of some editorial expression? Would it still maintain the philosophical view of individual right with their men under contract as' a union organization to keep its plant running? The position of the Oregonian is dirty because, if it were in the position of the Capital Journal, it would expect to receve and should receive, the support of every honest newspaper. The leaders in the movement knew their action was illegal and in violation of their contract to protect the plant; they knew that the absence of a written con tract was not material with a union plant like the (Jap ital Journal is, and always has been. The conduct of the ringleaders, therefore, in this very instance, in their plot " to injure an employer who had always treated them fair, paid their scale and respected thei. rules and regulations, justified any criticism which this ci' any other paper may nave made regarding their methods.' If they merely resented the editorial and wished to work elsewhere as individuals theie was a proper and legitimate way to quit without difficulty. But the move ment to tie up the paper was not started by those who were working in the plant-it was a plot of state em ployes, jM-Rctically all of whom art) holding their jobs by appointment of some politician and not because oi competency. The taxpayers of the state pay the bill. Two of the employes of the Capital Journal as a reward for walking out were given jobs in the state printing plant at the expense of the taxonvcrs. Therefore, can you guess who is back of the fight to destroy the Capital t .-l ...u:,.u v. ...... :..n ,.. t. - 1 cjuurimi, in vvmcu uitie is liuuifiicc enuugii to uucicm the Oregonian? The editorial quoted, requited and misquoted so fre quently was only an excuse to work on in order to close the mouth of the Capital Journal or compel it always to say the things that were agreeable to certain persons. But the Capital Journal says what it thinks right to say at any time and that policy has displeased cer tain people, while it has pleased the public in genera mightily. Nearly 5000 subscribers take the Capital Jour nal daily, which means that it has 25,000 regular readers, It is becoming a power, a very dangerous instrument to persons who are not overly anxious always to have the truth told. It must be wrecked as a business proposition or placed in a position where it will be afraid to be in dependent and fearless. The printers in this case were used as instruments by men who put up the dirty, secret conspiracy to wreck a newspaper. On Sunday, the day the strike was secretly ordered, this fellow Sefton remarked to a friend of the Capital Journal: "We're going to get Fisher this afternoon, all right!" Well, they haven t got" Fisher yet-and they are not going to "get" him. They may make trouble and ex pense for him but they are a long, loner way from get ting him, because this is not the first time he has fought crooks (and by "crooks we don't refer to the printers) and they have never "got him yet. The Capital Journal will be printed, sometimes it may be abbreviated or late, and they may even make it miss some issues. But the people want the , Capital Journal and they are going to stand back of it and see that it whips the fellows that are trying to wreck it. In a fight of this kind there is never any doubt 'of the outcome. The right wih always win out. Reports from the western front are to the effect that the orders of General Von Der Marwitz to his army show the German soldiers are losing their morale, and are open ly refusing to obey orders. This may be true, and then again it may be a bit of German camouflage calculated to make the allies anticipate an easy victory in the expected new offensive. It is well enough to consider it the latter and be prepared for the stubbornest kind of fighting. If by chance this should not happen then the disappointment will not be keen.

Then we said iCod-niiht al ter accepting an invitation to dine with Mr. and MrB. Babcock tho following day. "I want to talk a little business with your husband." 'Mr. Babcock said to me, "and I don t see why wo can't talk before you and Mrs. Babcock. I never hesitate to discuss my affairs with her", he gave her a loving glance, "she is apt to bo more often riht, in her judgment, than. I am. And you strike 1110 as being the same kind of a little wi.man sho was at your sue." ''I am afraid you flatter me,' I re plied, as we broke up with gay good mgnts. "Did you enjoy the evening!" Gcorgo asked when we were alone t "Very mrch," I said quietly. I had purposely waited for hiui to speak. "I was very proud of you, tonight, Helen. You made "a very good impres sion on Mr. Babccck and his wife. It is very unusual for them to invite busi ness acquaintances to their home.'' "Is Mrs. Collins a friend of theirs " I had noticed she was not included in the invitation. "No sho is a friend of tho niece." Encouraged. I asked no more questions and made no more comments. Had I done as I felt like doing, however, I should have thrown ny arms around George's neck and told him "how glad I was I had pleased him. But self-restraint was one of the lessons I had to learn one I must learn if I were to come up to the mark set for me by my husband, way he had received my confession wawy he had received my confession about Julia Collins her talk at the luncheon taWe. Then, too, ho had act ed really proud of me thut night. He had not inndo it apparent, at least to me, as he had dono before, that he had me with him on eufferanoe. He had introduced mo in a way that told me, as well f9 it told those strangers, that he thought me worth while. I was so happy I felt liko dancing and singing; instead, I demurely pre pared for bed, chatting with George of the proposed dinner. I could see he was flattered by the invitation, although he had said very littlo. I had no idea of the kind of a man Mr. BabeocK was no idea that ho was one of the big men of tho Windy City.

"They love each other, and that is what mado them brave," I thought as I followed my hostess downstairs. She had insisted upon going up with me. instead of turning me over to a maid. The dinner was perfect and perfect ly served, although thero were , not many courses The silver and china were exquisite, and the napery t'ae fin est ever had seen. George was in his element.

Children at this season of the year are especially active in the cultivation of their war gardens, and we suggest that, nith the guidauce of the parent, Sunday school teacher or older compan ion, the significance of individual ac complishments be kept ever before them, Someone has pointed out that the government is winning this wsr by arithmetic It Is constantly matter of figuring how many men, sMps, guns, rounds of ammunition, tons of food and airships will be needed to defeat our enemies. We will win the war beceuw of our pretionderance of t hese essentials. When the child accomplishes an set of thrift, the Di;rnt can drive Home a valuable lesson by pointing out U)s significance of this set by having the child figure out hat it will mean in tanuible results if every one of the -'O.UOO.OOO school cliildteu in the United States acrnmplishrd the same thing. .

' The parent should bear in mind that the present is a golden time for teach ing thrift to the young. Never before in the history of America was there such an incentive to practice this virtue. This present summer should be taken advantage of to the fullest extent s While it is not likely that any great number of our boys and girls are now lending thriftless lives, it is quite likely that during the vacation period the significance, of their thrift practices is not being emphasised as is the case during school days when Ota teachers are keeping these lessons constantly ' before them. It is an injustice to the child not to give him every possible opportunity to develop a thrifty character. If the long summer vacation in these matters is allowed lo go by unimproved, the boy rr girl will have lost certain values that never can be made up.
