THE DAI Ml CAPITAL JOL'HNAI. Is the only newspaper In Snletn whose circulation Is guaranteed by the Audit llureau of I'lrcultitlona , THEY ARE NOT GERMAN VILLAGES. The allied advance continues steadily and the Ger man hosts which but recently were inarching so confi dently on Paris are still headed in the direction of Ber lin. They have been driven across the Vesle river where they had pianned to make a stand, ami are headed for the Aisne. It is doubtful if they will be able to form a new line cf defense even there, and that they may be forced back in this drive to the Chemin Des Dames, the place where such bitter and long drawn out fighting occurred last year. It will probagly take some time to get them started homewards from that point, but once they are, it is most likely they cannot make another stand until they reach German territory. Hindenburg stated re cently that "the giving up of villages caused no worry because they were French villages." He added that if it was' the abandoning of German villages it would be a pitter pill. That is what it will be for none knows better than he what the condition of abandoned villages is. It is in fact but the abandoning of sites where villages once were, for the Germans sec to it that every, particle of destruction possible is done. This will be the same in j German villages, not that the uermans wouia aesiroy them, but that the allies in taking them will leave but little to mark the spot. The artillery fire necessary to drive the Germans back will leave little for German ruth lessness to work on, even if they were inclined to the same destructive methods used in France. However, when the war is being fought on German territory, which it gives promise of being soon, the conditions spoken of by Count Reventlow, in which he spoke of the German press "whining" will be multiplied many times, and the end will not be far away, simply because the Prussian is an arrogant master but a servile sycophant when he is a loser. ! THE CHANGES NEEDED John A. Logan member of the prison parole boar J fc Changed ravft a rh.inap is rippHpd at. tnp nnsnn. Hp is rnrrprt. His i i ia i ii 1 1 i idea is a new prison, and this is also correct for the pres ent building is not well calculated for the purposes for which it is used. What is needed more than a new build ing however, is a change of system. As at present man aged the prison is a place for voluntary sequestration, and prisoners take a vacation at any time they feel like it. If they would get clear out of the country the situation would not be so bad, but instead the state is put to the expense of hunting them up and returning them when their vacation is over. The governor thinks they should have some kind of employment inside the prison walls, but while there are 80 tons of flax straw in the prison sheds that has been there for two years, his excellency fails to couple the convicts onto the job of preparing it for market, and getting it out of the way of the coming harvest. Besides this there is the entire crop of 1910) also in the prison yards, and nothing has been done with this and apparently there is no intention of attempting to do anything with it. One of the most needed changes at the state's caravansary is the turning of its management back to the board of control. The governor has proved himself absolutely incompetent to manage it. By JANE PHELPS PLAIN TALK. The next morning, at breakfast, 1 said to Georsre: "What made you so lato last night? I diil not get to sloop until after one o'clock and you had not yet tome in." "No, it was nearly two," he re plied, paying not the slightest atten tion to my question. "I hope you are not going to stay out nights like you used tof I was very-lonely last night." "Just thought of itf" he asked, and there was an undisguised sneer in. his voice. "Why yes. You know I have been so busy with the baby since 1 have been around that, wnen night came, I was tired and So didn't think mueh about your being out." "So I perceived. I hope you have not forgotten that I dislike to be questioned. I hoped you had outgrown the habit." ' "I question you very seUom " I was piqued. 1 bad uoit aked hum where he had been or what he did, for mouths, and the very first time 1 mentioned it lie fouud fault, "That is too often. When where I am is of speial interest to you, I will tell you." .'Very well. I shall ask yuu no more question?," I returned, then, in a burst of indiuation "I soon shv.il begin to recogiiizo that' being your Max Ilauser, who handles the grain department of the food conservation work in Oregon, has purchased the flour milling interests of the late T. B. Wilcox. This is not particularly cheering news to the people at large as it was indicated very clearly that Wilcox, as milling admin istrator, looked very carefully after his personal inter ests in the matter of prices, as well as war time rules and regulations. Now we may assume that Mr. Hauser will do the same, although as a more public spirited man than Wilcox was, he may be big enough to serve the country in a more unselfish way. In this connection it may be paid that the entire work of the food administration in Orerron has been unsatisfactory, probably because W. B. Aver, as its head, is too indolent and lacks business and executive ability, allowing most of his subordinates to do as they please. Herbert Hoover is certainly an over rated executive if Oregon offers a fair sample of the brand of food conservation he has handed out to the coun try at large. Count Reventlow, in a Berlin" paper reviewing the war says the beginning of the fifth year of the war "finds the German press marked by reflections which are overflowing with resignation, melancholy and whining." A little taste of real disaster makes them despondent and drives away hope. The Prussian is a good winner, but a poor loser, simply because he is not a true sport. He can fight a winning 'fight but has not the spirit to battle igainst.odds. As that is what he will have to do for the balance of the war, the outlook is anything but cheerful for him. 1 , Under the agreement reached as to the allied aid in Siberia, it is understood Japan will furnish most of the troons needed, although China many send a formidable number. As to the part the balance of the allies will take j in helping untangle Russian aifairs, whatever it is it will wife cames no privileges. 1 try to probably be applied from the Murman coast. German ar- TmZTX i oeance is daily making the situation easier tor tne al lies, and before long will make all Russians willing to welcome anv aid that may be rendered them by the .al lies in getting rid of "their friends, the Germans." The latest news from Ukrainia is to the effect that the peas ants have assembled an army of 25,000 and' besides are doing all they can to make it uncomfortable tor the enemy. It is stated they are burning their grain and all other supplies rather than have them. fall into the hands of the Prussians. TJie news from the eastern front is not much more cheering than that from the western, to the Hohenzollern family. The Oregon Voter is not particular in the selection of its words, sometimes. For instance lately it asked: "Where are we getting with our flax and lime programs which were backed so liberally in response to government operation enthusiasts?" He fails to distinguish between government operation, and governor manipulation. So far as the flax proposition is concerned we can-enlighten the Voter. We have arrived at the governor's office and there the business is lost in the great vacuum under the governor's hat. LADD & BUSH, Bankers ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED PLEASE CALL AT Tin? BANK Conditions in Austro-Hungary grow steadily worse, if the reports can be believed, coming from that country. The masses are said to be ill-fed, and many, actually starv ing. However the conditions in Austria are always brought forward as bad when the Germans are getting the worst of the scrap, presumably to persuade the allies to believe their efforts may be reduced, and that Austria is going to quit. No doubt she would do so if she could, but with the kaiser's mailed fist clinched on their throats they are helpless, and will do nothing until the entire population turns against the government. This it may. i 1 ..l il . Je I 1 ...MLiLK i,nt t-r uo in lime out me sunenng iias nut, ueeu &uj.iicicih vl. iu cause this. When it does, even the kaiser will find him self helpless against the entire people. . The new draft bill will be submitted by Senator Cham berlain this week. The ages suggested in the bill are from 18 to 45. It is suggesttd however that the. boys under 21 be not sent into the fighting, and it is probable aiight in congress will be made on this feature of the bill. One proposition is to keep the boys under 21 in training, and it is also held this will relieve the labor shortage as it will gave the authorities jurisdiction over the younger men as well as those up to 45 and this will keep them doing work for the government, even though not engaged in the ,ctual fighting. t"fr-- ii Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason HYMN OF HATE. Last night I sat up pretty late indulging in a lot of hate. I hated all our'Teuton foes, their hearts, their whis kers and their toes; I hated Hindenburg and Bill, and Lu dendorff, with right good will. From 10 o'clock till half past one I hated every beastly Hun, and hoped his name might yet be Mud; I ground my teeth and sweated blood. And so today I'm feeling punk; there's lassitude through out my trunk; my head aches in a horrid way, I have no appetite for hay; a shooting pain is in my lung, and I have moss upon my tongue, the gripes disturb my ample waist, my mouth is full of dark green taste. I don't sup pose a Teuton knew that J was hating, long hours thru. And so I realize today that all my hate was thrown away; alas, to waste a hundred weight of all-wool-and-a-yard-wide hate! The Teutons have for many years been soak ed in hatred to their ears; they lapped -up hatred from their birth; it fattened them, increased their girth; their kultur has it for a base, it thrives in every Prussian place. So they can hate the hours away, and not be crumpled up next day. But hatred here seems coarse and rude, for kindness was our infant food ; it makes us bilious, sick and sore, and life becomes a dreary bore.

I was so astonished at, George at hiiu slumming the dour that I forgot my indignation. Then suddenly it caine over me that I had really been to blame. 1 knew only too well that ho would not be questioned, yet 1 had deliberately asked him. where he bad been. Then I had been rather horrid when he replied that when he had anything of interest to me he would tell ine. I was not keeping my word to Airs. Seton. 1 had promised her rbat 1 would not do the things 1 knew angered George. "Your husband is a peculiar man. I am suie lie loves you dearly, but you could easily lose his love if you kept him in a state of annoyance. Some men throw such things off, but not men of his type," From that timo on I never askcil my husband any questions.. That is, nothing referring in any way to his action, the wuy he ."pent his timo. 1 tried to become more reserved, more tactful. And 1 was uot without my rewird. George often 'told me how improved 1 was, that I had grown in every w:ty to be more attractive. If I thought" that others might not agree with him, 1 never gave the thought expression' I had him, and kmi nuly to please. When the baby was about six months iold we took -up our Isoe'iul duties again. We had been so long out cf things, wo had accepted so many beautiful flowers and received so many expressions of regard, and congratulation that we felt, we owed nearly everyone we knew some form of entertainment So I necessarily had to spend less time with Ken uolh. which Evelyn's mother-in-law told me w the best thing that could happen. We had a thoroly competent nurse so he was in no way neglected. And the nurse did not humor him as 1 did. UKOHGG TALKS OF INDIVIDUAL- rrv. That winter we were very gay, we entertained at least once a week, w& subscribed for the opera, we attended the theater and concerts. Wo accept ed so many invitations to dine out that 1 laughingly told Georgo we might as well have no cook. Then in the early summer we took the baby and went up iu Maine and remained for the summer. Wo fished and roam ed over the woods, we spent long lazy happy days together, just George mid I There was no friction between us that summer, and he often spoke of it as we sat on the porch after the rest of the household were in bed. "Men and women are so foolish," I remember lie said one night, "In stead of triving each other" the liberty Uod intended thov should have, they try to mold the other to their own desires their own way of living and thinking.

'Dear Editor: In your issue of July 30th you had an editorial about .the Sam Francisco bootblacks juggling with the price of shines. I wish to correct the idea you have relative to the prices. There are only a few stands that charge a 10 cent rate. In fact nearly all of the shiners in the cities around the bay charge the 15 cent rate whick of course is unreasonable. However, a number of boys in the larger cities in the state especially here in the city and at San Jose, have gone back to the old bootblack days. They carry their little outfit and stop you on the street and ask to shine your shoes. The lit tle wooden box they carry is marked, 5 cents. It may mean 5 cents per shoe Today I heard about a hotol in Oak land that had honey suckles painted on tuo cups to mane you think the coffee is sweet. If this is true, it certainly is Hooverizing, and if the idea has the desired effect it will be a great boost to the New Thought movement. I won- -der if Elizabeth Towne has started the suggestion.
