Through all the difficult period of the war, the Am erican people have shown themselves able voluntarily to shoulder burdens and carry them to the end, which in other countries could with difficulty have been carried by government orders. We saved food for our soldiers, for our allies, for the homeless and stricken in Europe; Not only did we save food in our home kitchens, but we raised it in our home gardens. We did the hard work of shipping and distrib uting it where it was needed. Through our representatives we voted for the draft, for the fair and equitable taking of our boys for" the fighting. . We raised untold amounts of money in bonds and stamps, in taxes.- These and many other things we have done right joyfully, for the winning of the war, for the promulgation of our principles throughout the world, With the ending of the war none of these needs are over or will be for many years. .We must now feed not only our allies, but our former enemies. Our boys must be kept abroad for police duty, for showing the nations how to reconstruct their, shattered buildings and their shattered lives. . i , , . If peace were followed by any riotous indulgence in eating, in drinking, in buying, in wasting, it would be the greatest disgrace in the world. There is more need than ever for conservation of-every possible resource, for pro duction of every possible product. And it is not only broken buildings, broken individual lives, that are here to be rebuilt, nor only in the war-torn countries. A new world awaits construction at our hands. Noth ing id the same, will ever be the same, as before the war. With difficulty did we make the adjustments" of our lives necessary for the waging of the conflict. Now we are confronted with the necessity for making adjustments even more sweeping and far more lasting. The longing of the poet for "shattering this sorry scheme of things entire" has been almost gratified. The opportunity for "remodeling it nearer to the heart's desire" is at hand. The ideal of liberty for all peoples is about to be real ized. The greater one of making practical the spirit of universal brotherhood comes next in order. The making of the new world awaits us. Not has tily shall we begin to labor upon its rearing, but soberly with vision, with determination, with patience and with faith. It was a dark hour for Russia when her army, trust ing to Prussian promises, disbanded, and 1ier traitorous representatives signed the infamous treaty of Brest Litovsk. In that hour, the allies, through President Wil son informed the Russian people that they would not be forsaken that the allies still held Russia's interests as their own, despite her seeming treachery. It was also a dark hour for Rumania, when, left help less by the Russian desertion and battered by an over whelming German army, she yielded to the inevitable and surrendered through the treaty of Bucharest. The al lies pledged themselves to redeem her. ' . . The time of redemption came. The allies have the abrogation of those wjeked treaties and the liberation of Russia and Rumania as indespensible conditions of "the German armistice. Russia and Rumania win along with the rest of us through Foch's victories on the western front. It is a triumph of honor, a vindication of truth and loyalty The allies in success as in failure, prove themselves keepers of their word., THE DISAPPEARING WALNUT. The Commercial club should be made a still greater factor in the upbuilding of Salem. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason TURKEY TIME. Thanksgiving Day is drawing nigh, we plan the bill of fare, discuss the juicy pumpkin pie, the turkey rich and rare.' We have such cause for gratitude, for patriotic pride, we contemplate some oysters stewed, or, peradven ture, fried. The season bids us shake off gloom, let mirth and music flow; while in the Potsdam dining room the kaiser's eating crow. The weary war will soon be done, its fire's will cease to burn, and from their conquest of the Hun our soldiers will return; and waiting mothers will embrace the sons they've missed so long; and sweethearts meeting, face to face, will sing love's old sweet song. We'll celebrate the war lord's doom with all the curves we know, while in the Potsdam dining room the kaiser's eat ing crow. The kaiser's eating crow, my boys, and so is Eitel Fritz, and Kronprinz Friedrich makes a ndise like one who s throwing fits; there is no turkey on the board, a crow is all that's there; the kaiser carves it with his sword, and damns the bill of fare. The crow is but a scrawny dwarf, the sickliest of things; and Hindenburg and Ludendorff will get the legs and wings. Oh, let our faces be abloom, let Bill have all the woe, as he sits in his dining room, and wrestles with his crow. For years before the war walnut trees were fast dis appearing from out forests and woodlots. We used lit tle of the beautiful and useful wood ourselves, but large quantities were exported to Germany, We had an idea that it was needed for pianos and fine cabinet- work. Where it really went was for making rifles with which to kill our allies and ourselves. We -should be wiser hereafter. There are some kinds of foreign trade that we should be better off without And for every food tree cut down, six, in the manner of the boy scouts, should be planted. THEL WIFE By Jane Phelps. CLAUDE BECKLY WABNS BBIAN ABOUT MANDEL. We haven't much sympathy with' the effort being made to make the cost of living higher instead of lower, now that the war is over. The standard now is too high, and the proposed increase in telegraph' .iand telephone tolls is unjust and uncalled for, following as it does a constant . raise in railroad freight rates. Government ownership of; these utilities will, prove very unpopular with the masses if we are getting a fair indication of what it is going to cost to operate them.- ; -'The Albers Bros, are advertising their "made . by Germaris'"goods quite extensively for the first time, since the-presidentof the concern has been indicted for dis loyalty. The American that chooses to eat that brand of flour deserves to choke to death. ; . ; . . ' ? Salem ought to pin her faith to fruit and flax. In the one product we've got the biggest business in the northwest and the other ought to be developed into a real industry. v The old fight between the eastern and "western rep resentatives in congress has broken out in the repub lican party again. Looks like the old progressive split might be re-enacted. Emperor Karl is said to have cried like a child when forced to sign the abdication papers. More evidence of the yellow streak that is so common to so-called royalty ! Trouble looms darkly for the new German republic. For instance, the kaiser threatens to come back, which is about the worst thing that could happen to any country.! Thanksgiving this year should have especial sig nificance. The most authentic report concerning Quince is that he is still running. the Clown Make Salem grow by developing the resources of the country in its trade area. The war is over. The Salem Commercial club requires more members to make it the success that it should be. Victor Berger and - his Milwaukee Huns are still belligerent. Turner Paper Eulogizes Senator LaFoflette (Turner Tribune.) Out of the most notable eventj of th election held in Marion county on th 5th day of November, was th special nutl sincere trihuto of the voters of Mai ion county to Senator LaFollett. Without an organisation of any kind hi-himl him, the citizens of our county selected him as senator purely ou hii mwits, and tho (rood work which he lias heretofore done for tho taxpayers, and the intense interests he has mani fested for good government. It s the first tin? in the politirnl history of thia county where the pne-ple have taken niattevs in their own hands, risen above party restrictions, and rewarded one of those who, rvgard lesa of the whip, and lash of the bosses in politics, has asserted Ma manhood and independence and tood by tho ov erbuideKvd Uxnnvera. The triumph of Senator I-uFollett is a brilliant example CHAPTEB LXXXVm. Brian folt rather conscience stricken as he rode home a-top 'of tho bus. He really had not meant to say so much to Mollie. But, as he had said, it was in his system. He had felt better for a few moments because of "gottiug h out", but now he felt a bit. ashamed. He had not been quite loyal to Buth; and Buth was his wife. His wife be cause she loved him, and because he had begged her to marry him. "blie should stay home," he mutter ed to ease his troublesome conscivnee. "If she did, I would not do any such fool things," but he was still far from comfortable. What would Mollio thini of his confessiont He never had said as much to Buth. Something had held him back. But he had longed for lust u littlo home and children. At hjast he had persuaded himself that he did which amounted to the same thing the while he was immensely comfortable be cause of Buth,'s salary, which enabled him to uso what ho earned almost as he would had ho been single. He now always had money in his pockets; he was never embarrassed, as he had been when they were first marri-od and had estly in every way, ho is an example for tho young and old of our state to emulate. Senator LaFollett nas tried to arouso the people to prevent the passage of measures inimical to their interests. The farmers and all classes or our citizens owe hira a debt of gratitude that it is impossible to repay. To stand between tho grafters and those who have to foot the bills re quires more eourago than most men and women possess. Senator LaFollett fully understands tho struggle many of our citizens have to eneounter to pay their annual taxes. Ho has eome up from the ranks of those who have had to toil for an existence. Ho is now. a progressive, enterprising farmer and fruit-grower. It was not al ways thus with him. His has bev-n R life of toil and self-denial. From tlo luwesti round of tho ladder ho has be come one of,, the leading men of the stute.. From small, beginnings, through self -restraint,' economy, thrift and in dtitry, he has acquired a moderate com petence. His four sons, following in the footsteps of their father with the sumo- traits of character, have prosper ed as farmers and fruit wowerB. They are aubstantial citizens of Oregon. Senator LaFollett, with a spirit akin to that of our beloved and martyrod president, Abraham Lincoln, will, in the coming session of the legislature, render an account of himsolf that will inwet the approbation of his constitu ents who remember what he has done-. in the past for their welfare. Iho grar tcrs and those who wish to pilfer from tfia treasury of tho county ana stare will not bo" aided by him.- Thoso who favor -tho least taxes to bo levied con sistent with cood government, will bo iil.'iised with his course. Now is the time we 'need legislators of the honesty and integrity ot fcenator LaFollett. to stand as a stonewaii again st those who would increase the taxes in mil- eountv and state. Ho'nest and true, loyal to the trust imposed in him, with high ideals of public affairs, Senator LaFollett can be depended upon to assist in the passage of laws with an eye single to tno puuuc a00'1- You will notice tnat me siouc the HOLDERS reacted has beeonrr, ,n oliief r.nl ill OUT l)0(lv Politic.

Without anv friends to reward or enemies to punish, actuated by tho best nf motives, he will be an icieni senator. -Fleeted as an independent lawmaker, ho will not be controK'jd by any power on earth when he thinks tic is i" tno right. His sole object will be to secure nmiwr niiA remedial legislation. We need more persons in "ublie life of the stamp and character of Senator LaFollett, who regards an office as a public trust. AH honor to our new sen- tor- . . We congratulate the ciHrens of M" ion county on their splendid judgement and their clear discrimination in elect ing Senator LaFollett, a friend of the people, at this perilous period, to rep resent them. , He will still be recognized as tire champion of the peoples' rights and a man who has never betrayed the con- might, have said to those who would manipulate tho politics of this county, stand back, and do not trespass on sacred ground. A true and tried servant j fidence placed In him of the people should not bo relegated to the scrap-heap at this time ,when the citizens of our county and state need fearless and courageous legislators, Tho vote behind Senator LaFollett constituted thv bone and sinew of our voting population. Tho tax-eaters and those who depend upon public office for a Hvlihood were against him. The friends of good government stood by him loyally. If it were not for the sup port of the solid element in our com munity, he would have been defeated. Senator LaFollett is truly a man of the people. Filled with pride, energy nit ambition to verve them, ho has at all times been a trne representative. His regard for just laws has impelled him to vk-ad. the eansn of the public under all circumtancrs. Review the political history of Sona tor LaFollett. consider his public acts, think of his private character; then you can realize fully what the voters of to some of our office-holders who hav Marion county did in rewarding hira. no regard for tho taxpaying public.

JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY struggled so to make ends meet on his small income, neither of them knowing how. 'I'll star away from Mollie this time,' ' he said aloud as he looked at Buth 'b picture on the btnuan as he pre pared for bed. Then: "No, I won't cither! What's the use lying to my- fselff A fellow's got to do something besides sitting home and sucking his thumbs," but he could not go to sleep Bg quickly as usual. And he flushed in tiro dark as he once more recalled the confession he had made to Mollie. Mollie had really been totally decei ved by Brian. Not intentionally, had he conveyed the impression that he was tired of Buth; that he was unhappy with hvr. But Mollio had gained the impression that he WAS desperately miserable; that ho did not love Buth, and that he did care for her. Why else should he talk to her as he didf Why seek her soerety so frequently! Aud he told her all the little, intimate things a man scarcely confides unless he cares. Could Brian have known the impres sion he had conveyed, he would have Mt more guilty than he did. but to him Mollio was sort of a safety valvo. She was such a good fellow, so sympa thetic and nice to a fellow when he was down in the dumps, and a fellow really needed someone to unload his troubles on once in a white. Then, MoLio always had such a good time, and she was pret ty, too. One never folt ashamed of her, even if she didn't have tho style and wear the handsomo clothes that Buth did. It was ratlror fun, too, to make the Village fellows jealous, especially Claude Beckly who would like to mono poize Mollie. He had it in for Claude, anyway. He had been pretty fresh to call another man's wife by her first naiij without het permission. "X)ara Lfrosh," he said to himself whenever he thought of the night Beckly called her Euth without even an apology for doing so. Beckly had moro than once butted in, when Brian and Mollie weis diuing. It had annoyed Brian, annoyed him ter ribly. He didn't take Mollio or any other girl out to dinner to talk to some other man, but because he himself want ed to bo entertained. Ho might as well stav at home and talk to Rachel. He only went out becanso he was lonely, but not lonely for Beckly 's foolishness. "You arc all right at times, Claude," he said once in desperation, "but whvn I am .with Mollie I wish you'd stay away." "Why "should If,'.'.' impcrtur'ably queried Beckly. "Your wife would not object to having three in your party in stead of two. I must look after her in terests. She's made ahi t with mo." Brian-was too disgusted to sav more. Mollio , had looked, on amused, saying nothing. But after Beckly left them, sho remarked to Brian: . ' . i ''Claudo may be right, Brian, As long as you aro married and living with your wifu, it mcy bo better for us to havo someone else with vis. It would bo too bad to have our little innocent dinners make trouble for you." "Nonsense! 1 am studying typewrit ing. If we choose to eat together oc casionally it is no one's business. I won 't have Beckly butting in all the time..'? "You are really doing wonders with your typing, Brian. You don 't neod me any longer.. Practice is now what you iiwed, not anything I can do for you." (He really had been most enthusiastic, and had very quickly learned all that was necessary. Now he had only to do volop speed.) Mollie had scarcely finished speaking when Beckly came back. Ho helped himself to a Cigarette, then snid: "I've been going to tell you for some timu, Brian, that you had better let Mol lie alone and take care of that hand some wife of yours. That swell boss of hers will cut you out, if you don't," then with a wink at Mollie, he agnin left them alone. This had happened at a dinner in tho Village the very night after Brian had niado one of his alwavs-brokon resolves to stay away from Mollie while Buth was away. !
