THB DAILY CAPITAL JOUltNAti Is tbs only newspaper In Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau of Circulation THE INCONSISTENT OREGONIAN. 1 The Oregonian is mightily worked up because Pre sident Wilson appeals to the voters to support his admin istration. It quotes a number of professional republican politicians over the state in an attempt to make it appear that the president has insulted the g. o. p. of Oregon. Did the Oregonian register a protest on behalf of the "insulted" democrats of this state when Colonel. Theo dore Roosevelt, during the Spanish-American war, as spokesman for the administration, issued the following appeal to the voters on the eve of election in November, 1898: "Remember that whether you will or not, your votes this year will be viewed by the nations of Europe from one standpoint only. They will draw no fine distinctions. A refusal to sustain the president this year, will, in their eyes, be read as a refusal to sustain the war and to sus tairi the efforts of our peace commission to secure the fruits of war. Such a ref sual may not ihcori ceivably bring about a rupture of peace negotiations. , It will give heart t" our defeated antagonists; it will make possible the in terference of those doubtful neutral nations, who in this struggle have wished us ill." If what Colonel Roosevelt said then (ana tne uregon ian endorsed it strongly at the time) was true, the same logic may be applied now. The war is neanng its ena and the great problem of the terms of a permanent peace must be decided by the allies. How would this country fare in these councils if the president and his adminis tration are discredited by the people This is as import ant, n pntisirlpratinn as the effect of the fenudiation of the administration (which is the government at the present time) might have upon uermany at tne present critical Wp hptipve this is a time for Datriotic citizenship to come to the fore. The Capital Journal realizes that Ore- IUIl IB 111 CVUilUl Ol I'll (A VAVlli uiivi vk-vvw ' appeal is general. We must re-elect Congressman Haw ley, republican, because there is no candidate opposing him. In the case of West arid McNary we think the pre sident would prefer the republican candidate to a demo crat who will play the roll of "me, too" to Senator Cham- berlain's policy of obstruction and baseless criticism. The Oregonian, if it was honest enough to view any ques tion from an independent standpoint would advocate West's election and oppose McNary because it has patted Chamberlain on the back every time he has assailed the administration in his frothy harrangues. Logically it should support his man West and in not doing so reveals its purpose in praising Chamberlain when he was giving encouragement to the enemy by discrediting the govern ment and hindering war work. It was merely using him for partisan purposes to discredit the president of the United States in time of foreign war for no other reason than the fact that he was a democrat. Its patriotism is enslaved by its partisanship. The Capital Journal will be more honest with readers and a better supporter of the government at a time when it needs the support of every citizen. It will say that it would prefer to see McNary elected senator over West, al though West professes to be a democrat. The Oregonian's course only impersses one with the fact that its intelligence is pf a low standard or that it under-estimates the intelligence of its readers. The strongest indication of German collapse is con tained in the dispatches announcing that the people are hoarding their money and making runs on their banks. When the people get afraid of their government's ability to pay its debts the end if not far away. : : ; i The voter who marks a plain "no" on every initiative measure on the ballot on November 6 will make no ser ious mistake in any instance. Some of the measures sub mitted to the voters are positively bad and the others are either questionable or not worth while. ' Bette- be a!good stenographer than a poor kaiser when comes to taking dictation. The sinking of the steamer Princess Sophia in Lynn canal and the consequent loss of 343 lives every soul on board, is the worst tragedy of the coast. Full details of the wrecking have not been receivedbut it seems it was due to the same cause that, leaves the auto victims scatter ed along the track by the train they tried to beat to the crossing. Lynn canal is one, of the most dangerous passages along a most dangerous coast; narrow and with swift currents. It was through this narrow passage the captain attempted to pilot the steamer in the midst of a blinding snow storm and a breeze almost a hurricane in its proportions. It is barely possible there may be a few survivors but those, acquainted with the location do not think it at all probable. - ' Saturday was another "Independence Day," this time the declaration being made by the representatives of 65, 000,000 peaple, inhabitants of Europe, and composing the kaiser's intended "mittel Europa." This declaration was made in the same hall as that of the American people near ly a century and a half ago. A new liberty bell was cast for the purpose of announcing to the world the birth of a .new republic. ' .. Perhaps the next thing from the war zones will be a story of the Greeks making a drive at their old enemy the Turk.

We admire the fiery Serbs, who have come back so strong; their dauntless courage nothing curbs, or side tracks, very long. We thought the Serbs had looped the loops, were done, for good and all; but they came back, wit. ringing whoops, 4his most auspicious fall. They've undergone enough of woe to rend their souls in two. ker- flummixed by a brutal foe that never mercy knew. That foe believed all Serbs were canned who were' not in their graves, that never, in their native land, would they bej augnt out slaves. The peoples everywhere believed that they with war were done: and this explains whv men were peeved when speaking of the Hun. And then one morning hrougnt the news, "The Serbs are coming back! They're sprinting, ih their six-league shoes, upon the Bulgar's track! They prance along, with buoyant step, upon the mountain road; they're loaded up with so much pep they threaten to exp; ode!" Oh, gallant Serbs, you sutfered mu;I, first victims of the fray, and now it siriiply beats the Dutch, how you put up the hay ! Oh. Serbs, thev made you the excuse for this atrocious war, and now they won- aer wnat tne deuce tney made that blunder for. r i LADD & BUSH, Bankers crc receiving subscriptions now for ihz v LIBERTY BONDS m .1 Jill THE WIFE the highest paid woman, consequently tlio most valuable ono in his employ. Ho probably figured that her strength was worth more to him than the jirice of tho taxis. Hor helplessness as regarded Brian's intimacy with Mollic King, sent hor heart down sickeningly.' Yet she well knew that any false move on her part while she kept her position would make a breaeh between them. That it was already there, she would not admit even to herself. She had forgotten a paper she wished to take with hor, so after getting her bag, ad giving Kachel directions for Brian's comfort while she was away, siie wont back to tne store to secure it. Mr. Mandel found it for her, then said: "You have been working hard late ly, worrying a little, too, I fear. You have shown it, he answered her ques tioning look. "Now, my dear Airs. Hackett, my best interests can only be served when you are feeling at your best, mentally and physically. .You've 'earned a play spell.

Ruth had spoken with feeling There had been no hdsitatioii ,it ither hot speech or her manner.- Yet the Idea had a. wonderful appeal for her; there had been much to attract her in the proposi tion. It sounded like rest and also recreation, both of which she know sho needed. Not so much because of her work, as because of her almost constant worry 6Ver Brian, and his attitude to ward her. . , "I am sorry you feel you can't take ff rest," was. all Mandel said, as h laid tho envelope he had offered unon his desk. . . "Please do not think me ungrateful, You aro very tynd to me." Ruth had not intended to show any feeling, but his thbughtfulness had touched hot deeply, and there were tears in hej eye, when she raised them to his, " I never think of any but. kind thoughts of you, little lady," he .re plied, with tho nearest touch of com- eradie in his tones he had allowed him self, . I Kuth thought only of Brian, as the train carried her away from New York, because of his constant fault finding on account of her work, his sensitiveness a g to his status in tho household Euth had not found tho spirit to praise and encourage him of late as she used to do when they' were first married. Nor was Huth the only one who found the tension tinder which they lived", hard to bear. That he no longer had Ruth's outspoken encouragement to hearten him, to urge him on, was hard for Brian. Ho had sort of depended oft her clieerf ulness when things went wrong,.or wcro "slow" at the office.1 Ho iived mostly on hope, in theso dnys; clients werb few, pay (When he did find one) uncertain. Ruth's cheer was bad ly needed. And Molho. King was al ways sympathetic, always cheerful. Arrived at her destination, Huth sent a message to Brian before she left the station. Just a few words. "Arrived safely. Love." But she sent it happi ly, hoping because of his tenderness when she parted from him that it would find him at home eating the dinner Ra- hoi would have ready. A man's conscience -perhaps a wom an's also is' very elastic. When she was with him, or when, as lust before she left his office, Ruth showed her love for him so plainly Brian mado all sorts of good resolutions, r-o lie had this time when Buth left the offico. .

CHEMISTS BANISHES TRAGEDY - "The inost tragic moment in a woman's life is when she discovers th first gray hair, because it is Nature's warning that youth is passing," as. elderly Memphis matron said recently at a Newport hotel. "Then you are very fortunate," a Chicago lady remarked, "because ap parently you never have experienced that moment of tradegly." "Indeed I have," the Memphis lady confessed, with a laugh. "Only my tragedy was intensified because several gray hairs appeared at the Same time. I felt heartsick, but I could not bear the thought of using a dye. "Fortunately, about that time a chemist in Memphis developed a prepa ration which is called Q Ban Color Restorer, You can imagino my dtlight when I Jried it and found it restored the uniform color and lustre of air hair." . . , "Support The President" Said , Roosevelt. When This Nation Was At War With Spaii In 1898, when this nation was at war with Spain, Theodore Roose velt, who is now urging the American people to repudiate President Wilson's leadership, issued this appeal: ''Remember that whether you will or hot, your votes this year will be viewed by the nations of Europe from one standpoint only. They will draw no fine distinctions. A refusal to sustain the president' this year, will, in their eyes, be read as a refusal to sustain the war and to sustain the efforts of our peace commission to secure the fruits of war. Such a refusal may not inconceivably bring about a rupture of peace negotiations. It will give a heart to our defeated antagonists; it will make possible the interference of those doubtful neutral na tions, who in this struggle have wished us ill." . On the eve of the November election in 1898 fotme'r President Benjamin Harrison urged the election of a republican congress to sup port McKinley and used these words: " 'If the word goes forth that the people of the United States are standing solidly behind the president, the task of the peace com missioners will be easy, but if there is a break in the ranks if the democrats score a telling victory, if democratic senators, congressmen and governors are elected Spain will see in it a gleam of hope; she will take fresh hope, and a renews 1 of hostilities, more war, may be necessary to secure to us what we lave already won."
