THE DAILY CAPITAL JOUENAL I, the only newspaper in Balera whose circulation b guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations THE ART OF CHEERING. It appears that France is learning to cheer. The un rWr wave of annlause that swept through Paris on President Wilson's arrival accomplishment. Heretofore, it seems, the French people have had no adequate means of expressing their emotions in public. That may sound strange, in view of the common impres- r.t f,0 T?,f.nf.rirrinn'R gift for ohvsical and vocal ex- pression, but it is true, nevertheless. The French, like most- Latins, are good talkers and eloquent public speak ers, but somehow they never developed ah adequate vocal system of letting loose their mass-emotions. The coming of the Americans changed all that. At baseball games and on all public occasions, they heard the "rooting'7 and yelling of the vociferous Yankees, and it made a hit with them. Little ay nine iney oegan w au jnn fVmi nnrt-ppf. hut inarlemiate "vive" in favor of the rotund American "hurray," and other signs of enthus iasm that enable a full-grown man to emit, for prolonged periods, all the noise he is capable or. jnow aimosi any crowd of Frenchmen is said to be able to make a noise like an American political convention. ' The British, too, have Caught the trick as the cheer ing in London and Manchester during the president's visit testified. No longer is the Englishman content with a mild clapping of gloved hands and a mild ejaculation of "Heah, Heahl" Those once self-contained Britishers are learning to raise the roof and crack the welkin. It is good for them, too all of them. It is good for Europe in general. An old world that knows how to cheer, and has the heart for cheering in the American Rtvlfl. ia no longer old. All that rah-rahing and hurray ing and hazzahing is a sign and therefore, more democratic, irann, nonesi anu numau A PRESIDENTIAL INDESCRETION.

A late report says that when ' the president bade good-bye to King George, one trouser-leg was turned up at the bottom, and the other was turned down, as wen behaved trouser-lerrs should be, it seems, in dear old Lon don.

To peek the wooden water trough she wandered through the gale, and her antlers frozen off, likewise her precious tail. The view outdoors is sad and bleak, the snow's heaped by the fence; the arctic winds cavort and shriek, without a lick of sense. And yet I am not woe begone, as I sit by my fire, and ply my pipe and demijohn ray corkscrew and my lyre. Though at my window tem pests beat, one thing I'm thankful for; I do not have to Fave the sleet, to help to win the war. Triumphantly our banners wave, the long ordeal is done; we are not asked to pinch and save, that we may can a Hun. Some griefs and worries, be it said, my spirits have attacked; my car is frozen in the shed, the radiator cracked; I have some fowls which should provide fresh henfruit by the ke but they just let their duty slide they do not spring an egg. My stork of coal is getting slim, and when for more I plead, the dealer says, with visage grim, "Your stand off's gone to seed." But let the winds of winter blow! One thing I'm thankful for; I do not have to save the snow, that we may win the war.

"Mv men are charged by says Brigadier General Zimmerman "They could tnrow " ' . - - 1 1 i U.t t urn hflCK. grenades as far as me uermaus cumu uuuv The Huns couldn't see any justice in that." - , Ignoring the temptation to make an obvious retort regarding German "fairness," here we find another ex emplification of the main thing that is wrong with Ger many. It is the lack of the sporting spirit, failure to give the other fellow the credit he deserves, envy of super iority instead of honest imitation .of .it. In., snort Ger many, collectively, has been, and still is, a ''sorehead and 3 TheGerman people have got to get that sort of thing out of their system before they can win back the world s approval or accomplish anything worth while. Governor Withycombe offers no solution for the fin ancial difficulties of the state. He puts a deficiency of $980,000 up to the legislature without a single suggestion as to how it may be met. Further than this, the governor pleads for the retention of the state police force which has caused a large part of the deficiency, and would still keep fifteen or twenty of these small fry political work ers on the payroll at $90 a month and nothing to do. He seems to be riding this state police hobby to death. The Salem-Dallas road is very likely to be paved this year, and this fact is commented upon by the Independ ence Post, as follows: "A delegation of Dallas citizens appeared before the state highway commission one day this week and induced that august body to provide for the paving of the Dallas-Salem road this year:' ' This is taken by wiseheads to mean that Dallas is to give?up its chance for a place on the West Side Highway and this, thorough fare' will go from Rickreall via Monmouth to Independ ence; that the commission to reconcile Dallas to its fate gave it a paved road to Salem. ;.; ' 1 In spite of the efforts of the United States senate to stir up trouble among the allies the preliminary arrange ments for the peace conference seems: tojbe proceeding very satisfactorily. The dearth of presidential timber is apparent when men like Senators Chamberlain, of Oregon, and Poindex ter, of. Washington, are seriously mentioned. Dr. J. L. Hill, of Albany, says whiskey will cure the influenza. Yes, but it's so easy to get the influenza, and so hard to get the remedy. A band of Reds were routed and thirty of them kill ed when they raided a Dresden newspaper 'office. Moral: don't make the mistake of trying to lick the-editor. The members of the legislature were all "shot" today. It was thought best, all things considered, to do it at the beginning of the session. . THEWIFE By Jane Phelps. ARTHUR MANDEL RENOUNCES CllAI'TEU CXXXVII. When liutu, allocked by his appear Mice, asked Miimlol if ho wore- ill, uo pulled himself together with an effoti and reassured her, "Just a passing fnintnoas," ho ex plained. "Tho room is pretty warm.' Ho raised a wii'dow. "There, I fool bitter already."

Thou in tho next half hour, ho hado good-by forever to the only dream of marries happiness he ever had indulged in; and in manly fashion determined that nev er would he allow it to interfere with his work, or his friendship for Ruth. At t lie a ".mo timo Ruth was thiukin m ii' in. one i,aa not been really surd that she was not learning to caro for Arthur Mandel. He had been so con siderate, so kind, so much tho rev! friend is well as the employer, that he had not been absolutely certain jst what her feelings wero toward him.

The rooms wero light and airy, overlooking the bay and were newly decorated. Al most sho folt like engaging them. But common senso came to the rescue and she simply took the refusal of them; ex plaining that she was Mrs. Hackett When tho real estate agent asked: "Not the wife of that lieutenant who bagged thoso Huns unaided! " sho had answered with such pride as sho never before had felt in any ono. He had given her the refusal of the rooms, and had agreed in her opinion that tho war would soon end. But he also had said as had her aunt: "They will keep a standing army ov or there for somo time." But someway Huth felt thtt Brian would be allowed to return to her, and so eiLiiressed herself. "A woman's intuition is often rieht I hope sincerely that yours is," tho agent naa answered smilingly.

Editor Capital JouruaU-I have been hoping ever ainee tho outbreak of the epidemic now prevalent in our midst that some Christian Science people would feel moved to utter a protest up for us by the press of this tnd other up for us by the press of this andot her cities, but so far have waited and hoped in vain. . , Who of us when visiting a sick friend would think for a moment of relating to him all tho cases of sickness and defth, that we might know or have heard of with all the harrowing de tails such as appear in the daily papersf And yet, these papers go every day into homes where there is sickness I. ml with their grewsome accounts add to tho fear already there, retarding recov ery, depressing and enervating those in charge who havo not succumbed as yet, but it takes a brave hetrt and healthy mind to stand up against such persis tent assaults. j,v,,..i tho first appearance of tno of the country has kept the minds of the pcoplo disturbed by "scareheuds" and now we arc get tin" the dire results. It seems to me the first duty of the city council should have been the prohibiting 01 mo puu lishing of any item of news bearing on the subject. What possible good can it do, and what nntokl hf.rm it may, and nnihnhlw does dot T4- onnma t TTIO that the miaranhne cards on the houses gives nil needed publicity.

' Average fire losses for 23 years was $1.95 per thousand per year. The measure to increase tho limit of fire risk from $1500 to $2000 was dis cussed pro and con for some time and when it came to a vote it carried unan imously. The measuro to create an ad equate reserve fund was also carried by a large majority. When this measure is in effect it will give tho Farmers' Fire Kelicf association of Sublimity a larger reserve than any other mutual company in the stcto of Oregon. The passing of this measure shows that the members of tho company aro wide awako and know a good thing when they sco it. The officers for the ensuing year are F. A. Bell, president, Sublimity; F. C.

The influ enza situation in Monmouth is worse than it has been nt any other time. On Monday morning thero were about 20 cases, though they wero all mild so far. Most of the late victims are among high school students. It is believed they contracted tho disease from one of tho teachers who was ill for a week aftor the holidays, then came back to tho school room before she was completely recovered though the doctor affirmed sho did not havo influenza. School was dismissed on Wednesday when another of the teachers cnnie down with it and on Saturday the ban was again put on nil public gatherings and Mayor Wol verton renounced that there would be no school at the 1 lgh or training soli ols during the ween at least.
