THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL I the only newspaper In Bnlem whose circulation I guaranteed by the Audit Bureau of Circulation - OLCOTT'S TERM OF OFFICE A news story in Wednesday's Qregonian discusses the tenure of office of Secretary of State Olcott, and calls .attention to the provision of the constitution con cerning the election of the secretary of state and the state treasurer, that they "shall hold their offices for the term The bolsheviki are hunting safety in manv sections of Russia, and are reported as committing all kinds of at1 rocities as they retreat.

M. Lazarus, architect, and numerous others demanding an accounting of all moneys spent in the con struction of Vista House, at Crown Point on the Colum bia Highway. She alleges in her complaint that the coun ty commissioners had no legal power to so expend the county's money, and she says they were influenced to do so by John B. Yeon and S. Benson. The total amount de manded to be returned to the county is $210,215. It is ducks for the lawyers, but outside of that Mrs. Withrow will find she has reached a legal Marne before she gets to her goal. It is claimed County Commissioner Holman is the power behind the suit, and that his crafty brain evolved the scheme ifor making some one else besides Multnomah county pay for the extra frill on the highway, years.' The author of the story apparently thought he had discovered something that would make the term of the secretary of state expire next April, eight years f roni the date of his appointment by Governor West, Ihe sec tion of the constitution is quoted correctly, but the author of the story failed to read another section of the consti tution ; section 12 of article 11, under the caption ;'suf f rage and Elections" which provides "In all cases in which it is provided that an office shall not be filled by the same person more than a certain number of years cqntinuously, an appointment pro tempore shall not be reckoned a part of that term." This settles the matter so far as Secretary Olcott's term is concerned, and will per mit him to fill out the full term for which he was elected, and which .will expire in January,' 1921. No doubt there are many of the oldline republicans who would like to see the secretary put out of office as quickly as possible, but they will have to wait until the election two years from now to eet a chance at the Olcott job. There was some question at the time of Olcott's first election as to whether he should be elected tor a lull term of fouryears, or for the unexpired portion of Sec retary Benson s term. Attorney General Crawtord held he should run for the full term, hut the correstness of this opinion is doubted by many lawyers. The supreme court, too, in 1886 in the case of the state ex rel. William S. Shaw versus Joel Ware, County UlerK oi Lane.coumy, involving the election of circuit and supreme court judges, held in substance that "The term of office of a circuit iudee. under the constitution of this state is six years, and when a vacancy occurring within the term is filled by election, the person so elected holds not tor the iuu period of six years, but only for the remainder of the unexpired term." This is in direct opposition to the opin ion of the then Attorney General, Crawford. It would seem also from the constitution that the intent was to have all state officers elected at the same general election, and that the election to fill vacancies was based on this intent, so only the unexpired term would 'be filled at the next election after the vacancy, and thus bring the elec tion of all at the same time again. As it is now the secre tary of state is elected in an off year, so to speak. However, the water has run by this mill and cannot be recalled. If it was a mistake, it seems to late to recall it now, for it would be much like trying to un-ring a bell. the Hun. Another freak weather condition put it in your note book, that it rained in August.

It hardly seems possible that such a move should be necessary when such an organization is more than ever a necessity. It is the centre of all the war and conservation work of Marion county and every com munity movement of interest has its inception there. Now that it is out of debt, well located and comfortably housed, the commercial club should never be allowed to lapse back 5nto the condition of inactivity that it has been in at times in the past. Teople of Salem should make the club higger and better and more useful from year to year by .giving it their loyal support and taking a keener interest in its work. Sixty years ago today the first message was received from England over the Atlantic cable. Now the oceans are threaded with cables and the whole world is in touch with all parts of itself. It is rather a coincidence that on this anniversary is announced the perfection of the trans- over these cables that sixty years ago slowly spelled out the Morse code letter at a time. Truly there have been great improvements made recently, 'besides those design ed for the killing of men. There are a hundred ways to slack, and each is worse than all the rest; so place your burden on your back, and do your stunt with joyous zest. In these grim times em ployers nti.i the very best their help can give, if they would ke,p up proper speed, and dodere the bankrupt court and live. If you don't do the best you can to help the boss survive the stress, you're following a loathsome plan the slacker's spirit you confess. This is no time to loaf and talk, when there are useful things M do; it is no ume to watch the clock, or ogle all the dames in view. You may 'have bought a pair of stamps, you may have bought a bond or three, but you train with the slacking scamps if you're not busy as a 'bee. This war won't last a thousand years, it may run down before next May, and then there'll be all kinds of tears for those who slacked thejr time away. Your 'boss will say, "Augustus Kelp, when wartime troubles made me yell, and I was needing loyal help, you were not worth three hoots in Hannibal, Mo." And he'll denounce you as a swab, and maybe groom you with a chair, and every place you hunt a job, your slacking record will be there. But if vou do vour duty now, whatever sort of place you. fill, you'll have the laur els on your brow when we have pickled.Kiaser Bill.

It realizes, too, that the candy industry really uses only a very snmll part of the national consumption of sugar. In fnet less than seven pounds out of the 84 pounds (only about 8 per cent) of sugar used annually by everyone in this country goes in to the tusking of candy. While out of that S4 pounds less than seven pounds go into the mak ing of candy; CO per pounds are used upon the tablo in the home. It is plain to see thnt the chief place to conserve sugar effectively and easily is right in tho home in the sugar bowl. Many people who have felt that the way to handle the sugar situ ation was to put the candy men out of business, now realize that only a very small saving in the home will do much mor than could possibly be gained by throwing the candy industry out of business. Already the cand industry lias been cut squarely in two' ana it is now time for fair-minded peoplo to know the truth o that great in dustry may not be completely tuspeuded.

As Buth looked at her stalwart, handsome husband, she had no thought of fear, no misgivings as to tfie tuture. Then at the breakfast, to which only intimates had been invited, she was gaily happy. She had trustfully given herself to Brian Hackett, having abso lutely no realization of what that giv ing meant. V hen the parting" finally came, af ter the big trunks containing her ex tensive wardrobe had gone, Buth shed lew tears as she clunsr to her aunt the woman who had been mother, father, everything to her. And whom she had displeased bv marrying Brian Hackett. Not that Mrs. Clavbome showed her displeasure; she was too thoroly a woman of the world to show her feel ings. But Buth knew it, and the fact tinged her happiness ever so little. while it did not materially affect her. But, when, as the train sied north. ana in the seclusion of the drawing room Brian took her in his arms and murmured: "My precious little wife," she for got everything save that she was with him, and that she was happy. Atlantic City was their mejcca for their honeymoon. There, by the sea, they would learn to know each other m a way that had been impossible to them -in Brian's infrequent visits sonth Kutn was delurhtcd. She was like a child in her joy at everything she saw and did. Brian was delighted to see the envious glances cast upon him as he walked beside his superbly gowned bride. Delighted, too, because she was so wholly interested in him, that there was no room tor lealoirsv. Brian had no faintest notion of what his bride's trosseau had cost. Had he, it might have frightened him and tak en a bit from the pride with which he ugarded her, and the admiration she evoked. That it represented far more than he earned in a year, is a fact that would have seeme'd almost unbe lievable to him. Women's clothing, their cost, was a sealed book to him. Ho had left home earlv: his parents wero in such humble circumstances thnt he really had had no onnortunitv to learn anything of the cost of feminine tol-de-rols" as he called every thing from Ruth's dainty slippers to her expensive hats and parasols. no, as "ignorance is -bliss'', he wsr blissfully unconscious of what it had cost to clothe his stylish wife, and he walked, or rode on the board walk with her, as happy as a bridegroom very much in love with his bride could be.

But, a little before the proposer! tw weeks were up, Brian pleaded a busi ness eall and they left for New York, their future home. ''Time we did, too!'' Brian mutter ed a-s he looked at his slim roll after he had paid his bill. "Hardly enouga, left to get to New York- I should hav known better than to come here," "How I hate to go, dear," Ruth said as. she packed their belonging after calling for a maid to assist hec "I should- love to stay. We must rum down "here often. You know, I never have been by the sen Ibefore, and it fascinates me.'' "Yes, we'll run down occasionally," Brian returned as, at a motion from Ruth, he fished up a fifty cent piece for the maid and grudgingly gave it to her. He must tell Buth that Jher couldn't afford to give many tips. Kutn, not knowing the thoughts run ning thru Brian's mind chatted on un concernedly. She was all ready, ant proposed that they take one more tun on tho board walk before they left. "AU right, dear, come on.'' And, linking anus, they walked for an. hour saying "good bye" to the sea, as Butk quaintly expressed it. "Good bye, and good riddance!" Brian mnttered to himself as h thought of his deplete roll.
