THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whoso circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations ADAM AND THE BOLSHEVIST; The chief cause of Bolshevism is mental confusion. Mental confusion is worse confounded by hunger. There fore the first remedy is food. After the Bolshevik has had a few good meals and a few nights sleep without gunfire, perhaps it will be possible to teach him a few fundamental tricks about economics. The trouble with the Bolshevist and the I. W. W. man and all his kin is that he sees himself hungry and poor and sees the employers of the world well-fed and prosperous. He knows there is something wrong, but he does not go back into history even the history of the preceding quarter century, to see where the wrong came from. . It was decreed that Adam should earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. And when one conceives a world with the first man in it, one sees there was no other way of obtaining the first essentials of food, shelter and cloth ing than by individual work. Only by working longer hours than was necessary to sustain life from day to day could the first man get ahead. . All wealth was won by men who were willing to work longer than enough to sustain life till tomorrow. When a surplus was obtained so that a man might sit still and plan, the foundation of teamwork, machinery and all mod ern aides was laid. If instead of spending his time trying to kill off the men who have more than thirty cents and a toothbrush, the Bolshevik for one year would work one hour more than enough for today, so that next year he might work one houK Jess, and use the other hour to plan for easier work the year following,.soon there would be more than enough toothbrushes and thirty-cent accumulations to go around. The trouble is, the Russian peasant has been cruelly exploited in the past and never given a chance to learn these things. His blind rage, thoujgiMipuid, is but nat ural. A child's tantririn can.' always be quieted with a warm bath, a good meal and a nap. If the allies can do this for the Russians, they will find them receptive to the teaching of the primary grade. This once mastered, liussia s troubles will be over. For the first time a big war is settled, not by a diplo matic poker game, but by a conference of peoples. It is true old-time secret d plomacy s making a last-ditch stand for socrecy and all that it implies, but President Wilson will no doubt win his contention for the new deal, because the people of all the allied nations are backing him. It has been said that the peace terms and the program for future international relations will be shaped by four men Premier Clemenceau. Premier Llovd-Georee. Prem ier Orlando and President Wilson. So it will, as far a3 appearances go. But every one of those governmental heads holds his place solely by popular choice and derives all his authority and prestige from popular will. More over, everyone of them has his ear to the ground as never before to catch the people's voice. For the people themselves are on the job as never belore. We might almost say that there is a special wire running from every one of the millions of American homes and offices, and the British and French and Italian homes and offices, and those of Belgium and Serbia, and other allied countries, to the council hall at Versailles. It will, in the end, be an "open diplomacy" council. The diplomats will not dare to make it anything else. And let them make one false move let them disappoint one of the great hopes on which the plain people of the world have set their heart and there will be a roar that will bring them to their senses. VAS AFRAID TO GO ON TOP OF HOUSE Brigadier General Flood explains in a letter to the Oregonian how the discharged soldiers are treated; an swering criticisms of that paper. This, fact makes no 1m pression upon the editor of the Oregonian, however, be cause of his vindicatve opposition to the government. All through the war political organs like the Oregonian carp ed and criticised and hindered war work,and misrepresent' ed the motives of the men in charge of it. The war was won before other nations said we could even get ready to fight and this fact has not tended to sweeten the dis position of the political editors in the least.

' THE WIFE By Jane Phelps. t Going to be a great year in Salem and the valley all around us. This little set-back at the beginning is only giving us a chance to get ready for the big drive ahead. Well, the "Flu" situation is much better, a fact that again vindicates the real Oregon climate. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason - COLD WEATHER. t Oh, winter, rude season, I'm g'ad you are here, though I have much reason for springing a tear; for I am afflicted with various ills, which keep me addicted to powders and pills. They're worse when the weather is cold as yet out; they all ache together, rheumatics and gout; the ringbone and spavin are painful and sore, as I.ruh the salve in and holler for more. Ills transient and chronic I try to foget; for winter's a tonic, the best tonic yet. The wise men in form us in well chosen terms (the knowledge should warm us), it's death to the germs. The microbes so dizzy a'l turn up their toes, when winter gets busy with health giv ing snows. If winter is helping the masses of men, I'd blush to be yelping when aching again. If winter is slay ing the germs by the .ton, you won't hear me saying -a harsh word, not one. I'll just sit up nursing my swellings and aches, and leave all the cursing to ignorant jakes. When science assures me that winter is great, confounds and abscures me with words out of date, I feel that rheu matics is merely a dream, and bats fil1 the attics of pa tients, who scream. We must lean on science, whatever we do; we must have reliance on one thing or two. BRIAN ENGAGES IH3 OLD OFFICE CHAPTEK CXLI. That aftrnooen Buth and her rfunt left "Irian for the first time. Thoy had some shopping to do, and ho had insist; ed thoy both go that ho was well enough to remain alone with Knehel cud (ho baby. But hardly had they left when he -telephoned for a taxi, and with the help of the elevator iboy he entered it. Ho was gone about an hour. His er rand had exhausted him, and when Buth and Mrs. Clayborne returned he was fast asleep on tho coueh. Thnt night ho said: "I wont down town today."

''But Brian you aren't fit to work yet and I" Ruth, was about to tell him of the plans she had tnade; the nice office she intonded to fix up for him But his action hurt her, so she said nothing. That ho would go out and on gage that old place without saying a word; not even taking her into his con fidence, fciho had no slightest, idea that what she herself had that morning told him had precipitated his action That but for that he would never have done as ho had- not until ho was stronger anyway So already, again at cross purposes, tney spent the evening almost in si lence, Kuth's distress augmented by the fact that her aunt had received a telegram calling her South to attend to some business, and that she was going the next nay.

But she said . nothing of these thoughts to Brian. There was something about his set, stern face that awed her a little something different, and strange, Hia brooding eyes followed her as she moved about the room, but ho made no reply when she said she was going to bed as she must com mence getting up earlier if she was not to be lute to business.
