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

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.

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.

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.

of Oregon are very tired of the inefficiency that marks
the control of the penitentiary, soldiers home and flax

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. , '

"He was writing me," Ruth said
aloud. ''I wish 1 had telegraphed him.

Again she bent over the blotter. This
time more earcfully. Without much

That is, enough of it to know it was

The missing words made Brian's

He had said "Raehel might NOT un

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,

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.

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 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.
