THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whoso circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations SOCIALISM AND ANARCHY. Russia is in the throes of a riegn of terror. Thous ands of persons are being murdered in cold blood and men and women fight with dogs for the carcasses of horses that have died of starvation in the streets of Pet' rograd. That is the outcome of a peaceful socialistic revo lution, where there was to be no force employed and no restrictions upon liberty; where every member of society was to be free and equal in all respects. " The result is anarchy and murder. Nobody is com pelled to work to produce food or clothing because social ism argues that it is tyranny to compel one to do .what he has no inclination to do, and consequently there is , nothing to eat and no clothes to. wear. There are some who no doubt would go ahead and produce crops, but they will not do so because the mob of idlers would appro priate and confiscate the fruits of their toil. Therefore industry stands still and starving people fight like wild animals for the offal of the streets, while the brutal and criminal classes sieze the reigns of government and mur . der, sack, pillage and indulge their sensual lust at the exr pense of a helpless misguided people. , , That is the socialism . that we allow advocated in this country by the same unprincipled or ignorant class of agitators that has prostrated Russia. It is the kind of socialism that has seized the reigns of government in Ger many and in turn is rapidly giving place to anarchy be cause ho socialistic government can endure more than a few months at most, because of lack of restraint and en forcement of salutary laws. Organized government nat urally means restraint of personal liberty and the im position of certain necessary burdens in the shape of tax ' ation, no one but a socialist denies that fact. Good gov ernment means as little restraint as possible to enforce order and protect property and the imposition of equal taxation made to cover the lowest cost compatible witn cient administration of public affairs. In the United States socialism and anarchy are ad vocated by two principal factions, which was true in Russia and Germany before the revolts there, a lot of educated dreamers whose brains were not capable of di . gesting and properly applying what they studied in col leges, and their icnorant followers who are led off by (heir beautiful pictures of an Utopian existence under i" . ! ! Ml ' A socialistic or anarcmsuc coiiuuums. AuarcuisLs uiuum; also many professional criminals who are frankly and avowedly against all law and order and believe that might alone should rule and that a man should be allowed to possess whatever he can take and hold. These latter now control Russia and probably will have the upper hand in Germany within six months, unless allied troops are used to maintain order. The lesson of recent events in Europe should sink ucep uuu uie American minu. Agitators 01 any Kind against organized government and society should not be allowed longer to sow the seeds here from which Europe 1 i m i .1 i is reaping a Harvest oi aeatn ana misery. . SPOILING THE CHRISTMAS GREETING. "No Christmas card of anv descriDtion is allowed in tne dox," said the Ked Cross worker to the woman turn ing in a Christmas box for a "friendless- soMier." 1 am so sorry," this woman -said. "That card con veys such a wholesome, friendly spirit without anvthinsr personal or sloppily sentimental, that I thought it would cneer up a inendless soldier considerably. But I suppose you nave some good reason lor this regulation. The reason was explained. Last year cards were permitted. But such silly, slushy cards were sent, such sentimental notes written, that a good deal of trouble was caused. In some cases people who had disgraced them selves and insulted the friendless soldiers bv sendine crush ing notes and cards received replies in kind. Then they were indignant and complained to the Red Cross author ities against the soldiers. , Probably most of the offending parties were foojish young girls whose more foolish par ents didn't pay any attention to the way the daughter's romantic patriotism expressed itself. But older women w,ho should have known better were guilty, too. People so lacking in judgment and good taste, not to say decency, need to have their patriotic efforts sternly supervised. Otherwise they hinder right-minded persons in the whole some, friendly acts they undertake. According to figures compiled bv the' census bureau influenza is more deadly than war! That is the verdict ot the bureau of census, after an investigation of the rav ages of the recent epidemic. Compilation of official re ports shows that deaths in America properly chargeable to the bpanish influenza epidemic are more thariequal to the Casualties among the American troops in the world conflict. The total loss of life throughout the country is not known, but oiticial fmgres for 46 large cities show 78,UW persons were victims of the disease during the per iod xrom beptember 8 to .November & Basing their cal culations on an unofficial estimate of 200,000 casualties of. all kinds. in, the.

If President Wilson had not decided to go to France probably the papers now censuring his action would be criticising him for staying at home when the peace of the world was at stake. - In spite of what is happening to the despots of Eu rope, Joe Keller's crown still seems to.be on straight and his scepter as potent as ever.' Henry Ford is about to begin the publication of a newspaper.. He is probably seeking a means of absorbing the profits of his automobile plant. THEWIFE By Jane Phelps. RUTH FINDS BRIAN'S MESSAGT TO MOLLY RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason THANKSGIVING Be thankful 1 For we've lived to see the dawn of world-wide liberty. The tyrant sees his throne upset or 'twill be soon, already yetand fettered nations break the chain they long have worn in tears and pain. The tyrant who kicked up the row that he might wear upon his brow the laurels of a conqueror, has got his stomach full of war. Be thankful that the tyrants hopes have The upbuilding of Salem through the location of fac- ories here and the development of the country tributary to the city should become again the leading thought of our people, now that the war is over. To this end the Commercial club must be made stronger and more effec tive in every way and the membership campaign, so often interrupted by more pressing matters in connection with war work, should be taken up again and pushed to a suc cessful conclusion. Many important business concerns at the present time hold no memberships in the club, due probably more to oversight than anything else. The Twelfth Federal Reserve " District subscribed $459,000,000 to the Fourth Liberty loan, or 114.2 per cent of the quota of $402,000,000. according to official figures just announced by the Federal Reserve Bank. This dis trict ranks seventh in the United States. Alaska leads in percentage of subscriptions in the district, as compared to quota with 156 per cent, Arizona is second with 148 per cent and the state of Washington third with 120 per cent. Northern and southern California ' subscriptions have not yet been segregated but will be announced soon. Then again weeping bitterly, she arose and sat in a chair by the window to watch for his coming. (Tomon-ow Brian Remains ' Out All Night. Ruth Is Anxious) THE KINGS KICK IN. By CHARLES B.

(She was so disappointed -that she could scarcelv koep the tears back; yet Brian might come in at any moment and he must not find her crying. Her dinner finished, she could set her clf at nothing, although she tried to read. But her thoughts were constant ly straying, always Brian-ward. f'I'll write Aunt Louisa!" sho said aloud, and moved over to her desk, idly she fingered the blotter, then her .at tention was arrested by the heavy lines blotted upon it.

Every time we read of a new monument unveiled to a French, Italian or Belgian hero we wonder why they don't spend the money for food if Europe is so hungry and let the monuments wait until some time in the future. Some time the good-natured Americans may take a notion to stop putting up money for the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and other organizations oh the plea of feeding and re habilitating Europe. Warden Murphy's statement would indicate that af fairs at the penitentiary are in such condition that the gone a-slipping down the slopes, teWftl that the 'SSJSSJtS-tL tyrant's schemes proved, in the washing hopjoint dreams, Be thankful that the Prussian sword, like Jonah, has gone overboard; no longer can the Prussian frown make any - people knuckle down. The bully of the world is licked, the bosom of his pants well kicked. Be thankful that our boys arose, just panting to get at the foes, and showed the world how we can fight when we defend eter nal right. Be thankful that you've had a chance to help our dauntless lads in Finance, and that you still may give and give, that war activities may live. The Red Cross Roll Call soon will como, and you should lay aside a sum, composed of cartwheels and of scads, to help the cause that helps our lads. It's good such causes to advance be thankful that you have the chance. stitution in the hands of a responsible board. The people of Oregon are very tired of the inefficiency that marks the control of the penitentiary, soldiers home and flax experiment. They want a change and want it badly. A socialistic paper rejoices in the fact that Lenine and Trotsky only receive $50.00 a month salary from the Rus sians. Even admitting that these men are not on the German payroll the kind of government they are giving Russia would be enormouosly expensive no matter how low its cost. , ' The boats ought to go back on the river. They will bring business to this city, keep freight rates within rea sonable limits in the future and prove a convenience to a very considerable number of people living along the river. closely at Jthe blotter. At first she only made out a word here and there -i"doar" and "Rachel" and 'trouble' "He was writing me," Ruth said aloud. ''I wish 1 had telegraphed him. Perhaps ho was so lonely he went to the theatre or a movie." Again she bent over the blotter. This time more earcfully. Without much troublo, she finally had the entire not Brian had written Mollio before her. That is, enough of it to know it was not for her. "Don't call house acain. dear. Ra chel understand tell make trouble. " The missing words made Brian's meaning different altogether from what H3 naa -intended to convey to Mollio He had said "Raehel might NOT un dorstand" but the -'not1' was unde- ipherable. "Who could this note he intended forf " Ruth asked herself, he answer aireaay in ner mind: ( Jdollic King." But what was it that Rachel would understand, and make troublo about And he had called her "dear" had warned her not to call the house be cause of this fear that old mammy might understand somethina he didn't want her Ruth to know. Of course ohe would be apt to repeat to Ruth any thing sho thoucht her voun.i mistress should know, of what went on while she was away. "What can I dot" Ruth moaned. resting her head on hor hand while slow tears dropped upon the blotter which had told her so much- "What sholl I dot Oh. Brian, I love you so, nnd you eare for her." Ruth really considered what she had read, proof that Brian was doing some thing of which sho would disapprove that would make .trouble between them if she knew. What could' it be, sove that he was fond of someone else Mollic probably t Ruth never had objected to nything else he did; never once found fault with him. And' only once had she spoken of his intimacy with Mollie. "Oh, Brian!" laying her head down on her folded arms, she sobbed until Rachel, hearing, came in to comfort her. Don' cry, honey! hell be home soon, he sholy will." "I ean't hlp it, Rachel I aw so dis appointed. I wanted to surprise and please him. Aiid"slie broke out afresh. "Thar honey! Yo remember what ole Rachel tells yo. Don' sprie folkes Tain't de ting to. lo, honey." - "I never shall gaia," Ruth return ed "I am going to-take a bath and go to bed. You go to bed, Rachel. 1 wont ery any more." Rachel drew the bath for Ruth, made her bed ready, then went to her own room muttering things which, could Brian have heard, he would have found anything ibut complimentary. In fact she called down all sort of punish ments on his head for mak-'ng "missy Ruth" cry. Ruth was tired with her journey and the excitement rauoed by giving way to her emotion. She dronoed off to sleep about midnight. But when the clock struek four it wakened her. 8he lighted the lieht to be sur she had heard aright. Yes, it was four o'clock, and Brian had not yet eome in. In agony, she said the sentence she had found on the blotter over and over.
