THE BIGGEST INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations AMERICA FOR AMERICANS. ."Throw out the Germans and keep them out," is one nf the issues in the election campaign in England. There is a growing feeling that no Germans are wanted in thai country. . The "peaceful penetration" doctrine by which Ger mnnv Riirr.eedea so well in spreading her propaganda oJ fiprmnn mil turn and German language through other countries, is particularly abhorred in England, which wishes to see no repetition of such program. No matter how peacefully inclined the German may be the English want him to stay out of their country, and, preferably in his own. ' , A large English hotel syndicate has prohibited the employment of Germans on any of the staffs of its various hostelleries. The Northcliff papers are standing back of the campaign to keep the Germans in Germany. . f In the United States the situation differs consider Mv olf hmitrri tm war has naturally created strong anti- German sentiment. No doubt a large majority of the German-Americans were loyal to this country after the declaration of war. They will hereafter be still better Americans, because their sons have fought under our flag and many of them have laid down tneir lives in us ue ferise. America is the only country these people have . now. Besides we are a nation, at last moulded into def inite national unity in the melting pot of war in which natives and descendants ot all European countries were comrades, sharing the hardships and dangers together, fighting and dying side by side. All are Americans now to the very core. . ghh tVio frnnblps nassod through because 01 enemy propaganda and exotic doctrines and ideas in the f ace of rinnnnni nnrii x as luimiit evciv iuvoi .n.,. t,- truth; that our immigration and naturalization laws have been entirely too lax. We have allowed enemy agents, criminals and dangerous political-agitators to come to America and ply their vocations, pretending for the most part to be citizens of this nation. We only narrowly es caped disaster because of this policy and it must be changed. , , ,.,,. We have, made laws limiting very strictly the impor tation into this country of yellow labor because it lives so cheaply and in accordance with standards which are below those of our own working people. We wish to keep up our own high levels of life and not to force our people to compete with those of lower economic standards. If this is wise, considered purely from the economic point of view, why not from others? Why should Amer icans, with their own social and political ideals, be obliged to live side by side with new-comers who have no such ideals? If one kind of labor lowers our material stand- RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason ONE GREAT KING. The world has had enough of kings; it's sent some as a starter, to where dead cats and junk and things are taken by the carter. The world has1 had enough of thrones; it's weary and complaining; and Europe's strewn with dead men's bones because some chumps were reign ing. But there is one who stands alone, whom all the na tions honor; King Albert's welcome to a throne, though monarchy's a goner. He didn't loaf in marble halls, as loafed some princely blighters, but donned his workday overalls and fought with common fighters. He didn't shim the danger zone as being God's anointed, or bask at ease upon a throne with all the world disjointed. "A king is but a poor excuse," he said, his banner flying,, "if he won't scrap to beat the deuce when liis own folks are dy ing." He hung his crown upon a nail, put mothballs in his ermine, and like a farmer with a flail he thrashed the - bloody German. A thousand kings have stalked in pride since thrones were first invented; a thousand kings have reigned and died, their scepters owned or rented; a score have won undying fame, by men's applause rewarded; in all the list no nobler name than Albert's is recorded. " Among the many superlatives to which the United States may lay claim is that of being the biggest insur ance company on earth.- It is an outgrowth of the war. The government un dertook, immediately after entering the conflict, to fore stall any repitition of old war-pension experiences, bv in suring its fighting men on a co-operative and economical basis-the men paying a very low rate and the government itself making up whatever losses might result. Insur ance in this company was not made compulsory, but its benefis were urged with such good effect that nearly all the soldiers and sailors have taken policies, averaging sev eral thousand dollars each. The total amount of these policies, it is announced. had reached approximately $40,000,000 up to the sign ing of the armistice. This amount is $10,000,000 more than the estimated cost of the war to the United States. As an index of the size and power of the company issuing these policies, it dwarfs all comparison. The biggest private insurance company in the world has less than $4,000,000 in policies outstanding, uncle bam s company has literally as large a volume of life insurance as all the private insurance companies in the world put together.

It should not, therefore, be a matter to occasion any real surprise that he is denouncing this government for in terfering with the reign of the the bolsheviki, which is drenching Russia in blood and destroying the property and resources 01 that iormer empire.

Every edition of that paper springs some thing new and startling On the basis of a telegraphed or cawed rumor and one never hears of it again. The next edition contains something entirely new but fully as start ling as the previous one and day after day the paper is just one continual rumor factory. Papers like the Tele gram, which depend mainly on street sales for their cir culation seem to think they have to keep the public stir red up with big headlines. The road building program mapped out bv the state highway commission for this year will help Oregon in every way. ihe only criticism we really have to make of he present program is the decision to pave the Albany- Jefferson road, while the stretch between Salem and Jefferson is In much worse condition and it seems to us should receive attention first. If the idea is to award hat amount of paving to Linn county, it should not have the effect of delaying improvement of so important a section of the Pacific highway as that between Salem and Jefferson, now the worst portion of the highway between he Columbia river and the Calitorma line. It should be one of the first places attended to. Really, the government should keep on building wooden tubs in order to keep the landlords and restaurant keepers of Portland from going to the poor house. The Oregonian and Telegram howl about the waste of money in war work unless it is spent for the sole benefit of ortland, the same papers pleading for a continuation of he waste. Portland ought to be able to secure enough in dustries which are of a permanent nature to keep her people employed, and could do it without robbing the sur- i; n x i i. i ruunuing smaner towns, n ner ncn men possessed only a reasonable degree of enterprise and grit.

Had Brian stayed at her studio so late alone, she would have been both hurt and suspicious. But three of them wry, surely, no sen. sible woman could object to a man going with a party to call upon a girl, especially when his wife was out of town. But because Brian was so uncommun icative, Ruth imagined things. And in that her imagination grossly exagger ated. She was no different from most jealous wives. But because she was smpicious she took the greater pains to hido her feelings, instead pf doing as most young wives are prone to do, and "spilling over" a3 Brian expressed it one day when talking of a woman he knew. It would perhaps have made for her peace of mind had she "spilled" a little in lieu of holding back all her emotion, and her thoughts. . Brian was an enigma to" her at this time. After her Washington trip, move so than ever. Scarcely ever did he find fault. Yet all the time ho made her feel that he was about to do something; and that no matter how it turned out she was to blame. It was a peculiar feeling one that mado ner uneasy without civ ing her anything tangiblo to which to object Maridel seemed to understand that Buth was passing through some sort of experience which might react to his advantage, if ho could keep from mak ing the mistake of showing his feoling for her. So he avoided being alone with her, and while ho was just as thought ful, just as kind, was not as obviously ijo as he had been. Without making it appear that he was ondeavorina to save her. he light ened Bath's work, and in everything mado her comfort' a .consideration. That he did all this without in any way approaching Kuth, or without let ting her feel his thoughtfuluess obtru sive, proved the strength of his love Jpr ner. Dimly, Kuth sensed he was trying to maKe ner comtortaoie. Ho is trying to make mo forget what he said to me, that day his wealthy patron tried to make lov? to me," she said to herself. Then: "Ho didn't mean REALLY mean, what he said. He was sorry for me, my humiliation, and said more than he intended." Yet, strangely, this reasoning did not bring quite the comfort to Buth it should have done. Not that she wanted Arthur Mandol or any other man than ner husband to make love to her, buv the ways of women are past rinding out" and Kuth was a woman. Hhe felt piqued just a little, that Mandel should so soon have found out his mistake. And she resented his ability to dismiss ho from his thoughts as sho judged by his actions he had.

It had not been Brian's words as much as his man ner which caused her heart to almost stop beating, and that suffocating feel ing to make her put her lflnd to her throat. It was as if Brian were seeking an excuse. More than once their clash on tho eternally sickening subjeet of money had led to a hot quarrel. This quiet, caustic Brian was a new species to ber. She scarcely Tecognized him as her husband. "What is the matter, Brian You are so unlike yourself, lately. Tell me what makes you talk and act so different ly!"
