THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations ROOSEVELT ALWAYS A RENEGADE. Roosevelt has had another attack of mental anthrax. It is already in the "mouth" stage. The Colonel is never happy unless he has his mouth working, and there is per haps no one particular thing on earth that works as stead ily and says as little as that .same Roosevelt mouth. It makes no difference to him what it is he is attacking, so it is something. As a republican he attacked his own party and its leaders whenever they had the temerity to differ with him in their political' ideas. After accepting office at their hands for eight years he turned against the party as soon as it asserted it was bigger than he, and started a party of his own. This new party was managed peacefully by him so long as none of its members dared nhn.it anvthiner. Then the Colonel A . . 1 ill A. Al - L.l!-. n4-if turned the vials ot nis wratn loose ai me repuuucan ymy jumped onto Lodge and all other senators who dared dis agree with him, defeated not only the party that had hon vnA witn fHo W crnpsfr. office nn earth, but later turn ed upon and strangled his own illegitimate political off- spring. Now he forces nimsen to tne ironi 10 ueienu uu tprl sn rlispracefullv and the leaders he so carelessly abused. The disgusting thing about it is that the old party and tnose wnom ne airacKea seem w like it and go out of their way to lick the hand of the great est political mouthbank, the most treacherous politician, the most false friend and the greatest egotist the world has ever known. The Colonel has never forgiven Presi dent Wilson for not sending him across to France in charge of an untrained force to display himself in the hope of again heading the republican ticket for the pre sidency. A self respecting politician would hesitate long before being found in company with the great four-flusher, but from the way those republicans whom he has kick ed the hardest and treated the worst, act, it would seem they are of the mold that needs a master to kick them into licking his hand. , ' PRE-ELECTION ECONOMY. ' The Oregonian on its front page publishes the state ment that Governor Withycombe by a few strokes of his mighty axe had lopped off $178,616.38 from the budget submitted by Warden Murphy of the penitentiary, for the coming biennium. This is a very coarse piece of political camouflage, as the governor knows he can change the fig ures after the election and make them as large as those submitted by the warden. Not only that but he knows it makes no difference whether the budget covers the ex penses of the prison or not, for the emergency board is always available to correct any little mistakes of this kind. The budget as submitted by Warden Murphy total led $491,650,150 and the governor slashed it to $313,040.92. But a few days ago the governor asked the other mem bers of the board of control to assist him in making out or going over this budget, but when they ran against an item of something more than $200,000 above the last year's expenses, they both refused to act. They said they could only suggest and as the governor had the only power over the matter it was better the whole affair be left in his control. It was, and as the Oregon correspond ent stated the governor went after it with his axe, chop ping off a chunk regardless of whether he chopped in the right place or not. : : The allies took more than 25,000 prisoners in the last drive on the Italian front. As these were nearly all Aus trians the reason for Emperor Charles' hurry to have peace negotiations started is easily understood. Unless peace, is made soon there will be nothing for the allies to make peace with. , : ' ' li LADD & BUSH, Bankers are receiving subscriptions now fcr V.:z -1 J LIBERTY There is a general belief that the population of Salem has decreased in the past year. Many people have been attracted to the shipyards, and the drain for war service has been especially heavy. If there are fewer people in the city that fact is not reflected in the circulation of the Daily Capital Journal, which should be a pretty good barometer, because no soliciting is ever doneln the city by this paper and prob ably about, everybody reads it. Not all subscribe for it of course, because some people swap papers and others borrow them or read them in public places. In the summer season the city circulation of the Cap ital Journal drops down 200 or 500 daily and then grad ually builds up during the fall and winter and in this con nection it is interesting to note that the circulation has already reached high water mark, and will probably make a new record during the winter. This is what makes us think that the population of Salem is probably as large as ever, because no soliciting has been done this fall to build up the list, and the increase is likely due to people getting back home for the wjnter as usual. Now we are distributing .over 2500 papers in the city every evening, which is as high as the circulation has ever gone, indicat ing that it is headed for a new record before the first of the year. .......... And speaking of circulations, the Capital Journal is up against the proposition of getting rid of some of it, or having trouble with the War Industries Board. We have been ordered, in common with other publishers, to reduce our consumption of news print 15 per cent, com pared with the amount used during the first six months of the year. We have tried honestly to do it, have cut off exchanges, all free copies, many service and advertisers copies, but the natural growth of the list continues to send the circulation figures higher every month. This week the daily circulation runs above 4800 the exact figures being 4855 for Monday, and 4865 for Tuesday, ac cording to the detailed record kept for the Audit Bureau of Circulations, of which this paper is a member. Satur day demand always runs higher and will probably exceed ouuu this week, which is a new record for a regular daily newspaper edition in Salem. . .y . What we started out to say, however, was our belief that balem is -not suffering materially from loss-of pop ulation, and we are ready to back up our circulation fig ures as giving about the most reliable, practical basis for this conclusion. ;, ,, : , How George Washington Was Maligned By Radicals In the Oregon State Library (Salem) is an interesting fine volume - called "The Making of the Nation," donated to the library by the Oregon Society of the Soils of the Revolution. Francis A. Walker, Ph.D.L.L.L., president of the Massachusetts Institute of Archology, is the author. The following extract is repeated from this work and it seems timely now in view of the partisan criticism of President Wilson: "Moasurcs go outrageous made war (1794), in the then feeling of the na tion, imminent and seemingly inevita ble. More than all others the United States had come, by force both of tra dition and of interest, to represent aad cL;uii;:iou the rights of neutral trade.

A tempo... enibarga upon American ports was voted in March, 1794, in order that our ships might not be canght at tea in the evut ,of war. A bill was passed for fortify ing certain rivers and harbors, ajid a report was adopted largely increasing HINT FROM BEAUTY EXPERT There is a sculptor in New York who has had one of the most interesting careers of any man in this country. At one time he was a ladies' hair dress er. He later became an opera singer, thence drifted into farming in the great northwest, end finally found himself in a sculptor's studio in one of the old parts of New York. Ho is a man that never speaks nuless he is sure of his ubjeet. On tha other hand, he is quite a society leader and from time to time has dropped hints among his lady friends on how they can beautify themselves and keep young looking. The other day at a studio tea, at which ton women of social prominence were gathered, he remarked how necessary it was for women t prevent having gray streaks in their hair. He also took a leaf from his ex perience and mentioned Q-Baa Hair Color Restorer as being the truest and most reliable remedy he knew of to restore hair that showed signs-f, gray. "It seems strange," he said, "that I who had been in the business of hair dressing would denounce dyeing the hair and advocate thi restorer." But those who knew the gentleman appreciated his sincerity. she felt that nothing in the world was ho knows you. He hasn't takeu hi worth very much without his, his ap proval.

McBride, under the caption "I Remember." It is made up of the reminiscences of a busy life of three score and ten years, and recalls many incidents of a humorous char acter that are really worth preserving. His stories of pion eer jurists recall some names well-known in Oregon his tory. Prof. James Matthews tells of "Willamette's Past" and the historical narrative of the pioneer university is well written. S. H. Van Trump is author of A Fruit In spector's Story," which tells of the duties of that official position and its value to the fruit growers. Col. J. H. (Jradlebaugh connbutes one of his best mining' camp poems, "They Heard The Baby Cry", and there are a number of other, articles of varied interest. Murray Wade himself plays' the role of illustrator, sandwiching many clever little sketches throughout the number. The Oregon Magazine is indeed a publication that is worthy the great state from which it takes its name. a war ' The advocates of the re-election of Withycombe as governor are no longer pointing with pride to his superb state military police force. So far as returns have been received the governor is the only voter in the state who has expressed himself as pleased with the $250,000 organization. ; ' . V" :"' ' , I Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason WHEN PEACE COMES, ' ' I know not when that peace will come, for which the people yearn; I know not when the sword and drum will to their shelves return. But I am sure that peace will be all wool and three feet wide, a fabric beautiful to see, no shoddy threads inside. JN o lords of war will help to weave the web o er which we 11 toil, and none who think that to deceive is authorized by Hoyle. The pattern (which should never fade) won't be designed by chaps who think the pledges they have made are merely paper scraps. I know not when the guns will cease the serenade of war, but I am sure the coming peace is well worth scrapping for. Long sacrifice has made us wise, we're on to Prus sian wiles; we can't be lured by Prussian lies, or fooled by Prussian smiles. Before we deal with gents like these and let our sabres . rust, the Prussians must be on their knees and humbled in the dust. I know not when great Foch will say, "Cease firing! All is done!" But we shall make, on that fair day, no bargain with the Hun. We'll show the fabric made by men who fairly played the game, and if he doesn't like it, then he'll have to lump the same. sion, the president determined upon a last effort for a peaceful solution of the difficulties. To this end he select ed Chief Justie Jay, a federalist, and therefore esteemed by tho opposition a friend of England, but a man of the loftiest character and the most fervent patriotism, to proceed to England anjl open negotiations.
