THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Js tho only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations FRANCE'S GRAND OLD MAN. The story of Clemenceau is the story of a fighter as well as a clever diplomat. He is the briginal old French political warhorse, and the clash of combat is pleasant to his ear. Nnw. at the ape of 77. he is fighting as bravely and gloriously for the rights of the French people as though he were a young soiaier entering nis nrsi uaiue. Like all strong inen, he made fast friends and bit ter enemies. Forty-eight years ago, at the close of the Franco Prussian war, he was sent to Metz as one of the French delegates for concluding the treaty with Germany. When the cession of Alsace-Lorraine was proposed he roared with indignation and refused to sign the treaty, declar ing: "Men cannot be sold as slaves in Africa, nor sold as serfs in Russia, nor delivered like cattle into the hands of Bismarck." In the face of disapproval and personal risk he stuck to his point, though he lost it, and with it much of his prestige. He has lived to see everything he protested returned to France, and returned on exactly the same ground that he was laughed out of power for maintaining the right of a people to self determination. , He has put heart and soul into his leadership in this war. He has visited the front trenches in the cold and enow, and worked with private soldiers in the ranks. He has kept in daily touch with the army heads. He has cheered and roused the people of France when all their hope had fled. Now, as presiding officer of the peace conference, he is reaping the reward of victory for France and the world. All rinnnr tn OIp Hanson, mavor of Seattle! 01 Scandinavian descent, he is an American of Americans, as his conduct as Seattle's mayor during an emergency proves unquestionably. And while we have Ole for the text we want to take the occasion to say that Scandin avian immigrants to this country, Sweedes, Norwegians and Danes, seldom fail to make good citizens. They learn our language in a hurry,-gct to work without delay, go into politics and the first thing we know are running the country, and doing it a whole lot better than we native born Americans could do it ourselves. Ole Hanson is a pretty fair sample of his race. The legislators have gone to Corvallis to inspect the 0. A. C. But we'll bet Kerr's salary the biggest single thing over there will never even get the once over. Here is a telegram that the "People's Party", rep resenting the German Junkers, sent to the former kaiser, on his sixtieth birthday: "We gratefully 'appreciate the work which your majesty has done for the German Empire and the German people during more than thirty years. We heartily wish your majesty peace for the rest of your life and beg to assure you that millions of Germans who will live with us under new conditions and a new basis of state and life, reverence the monarchist idea and will repel every un worthy estrangement from the high ideal of German kais erdom and Prussian kingship." Who would have supposed, in this unsophisticated land, that there remained anybody in the world capable still of reverencing the Hohenzollern idea and speaking seriously of "the high ideal of German kaiserdomr These are the Teutonic Bourbons. They "learn notn ing and forget nothing." Fortunately for Germany, they are now powerless to do anything but talk, and when they do that they make such fools of themselves that their ut terances are worthless even for propaganda purposes. One by one the consolidationn bills are being killed in the legislature. About the end of the session, however, a resolution will be passed authorizing the appointment of a committee to investigate the feasibility of consolidating the various state commissions, and report two years hence. . That has been the regular program for several sessions past and not a single state commission has been abolished and there has been no consolidation of those departments which are more ornamental than use ful and expensive besides. The Capital Journal received this week a shipment, of news print from the Oregon City mills by boat on which the freight and handling charges were about $75 less than it would have been over the railroad. This in cident illustrates the benefit of river transportation to a community. You ought to go to the auto show. Open Forum $ ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL DAY 13 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9TH THE PROMOTER'S WIFE BY JANE PHELPS THE GLAMOUE OP A COLLEGE -EDUCATION. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason POST MORTEM. Men skimp and save until the grave has got them in its keeping; they plant and sow in toil and wee for heirs' and lawyers' reaping. "I can't afford to step aboard a ship and visit Parry," says Farmer Jones, who has more bones than any man could carry. "I'd like to see the world," says he, "I'd like full well to travel; but saving dimes for wintry times just keeps me scratching gravel." Some day he dies, worn out he lies, by hard work beaten under; and lawyers stand on every hand and look around for plunder. He's left his wad and gone abroad across the silent waters; and every bone he had is blown by spend thrift sons and daughters. For bonds and stocks and dust and rocks a dead man has no vision; no passing soul can take a roll into the fields Elysian. We live but once and he's a dunce who gets no fun from living,- who always saves and never craves the joy of spending, giving. The wise man salts in fireproof vaults a portion of his treas ure, then takes the rest and goes a-quest for eightteen lands of pleasure. He puts a plunk in his tin trunk, then takes another dollar and paints the town a reddish brown and makes the peelers holler. ;W..Ai..'yi.1'vi'' CHAPTER II. Noil Forbes was ft college graduate, That too wag anothor attraction to me. High school had been all possible for men, and for most boys and girls of tho town. Ono or two of the boys had gone away to work thoir way through col lege, but never had returned to their homo town. So Noil was tho first col logo man with whom I had come in con tact. Ho lmd been graduated about a year Ho was just twonty-soven tho spring to I'Uiuo to Huntington. Ho was working in a capitalist's office in New York. Ilia fuller was dead, but he had n mother and two sistors in Oanada. Of course ho didn't tell all this the first timo I met him, but gradually as we became bettor acquainted. His vocutioii lasted a month. Wo got up picnics and did all the things small town people, without much money, can do to entertain a visitor. Ho tiiught me to ply tennis; but I beat him al ways at croquet. Tho timo fairly melt ed away. I never hud been so happy in my life n I had been since Noll came to visit his Bunt. It had soon be come "Bab" and "Noil" with us. And he spent utmost ns much time at our house as he did with his aunt. Neil admired everything in the town, Ho often said how rostful it wa8 after tho hustle and bustle of tho city; and ho thought tho treos and flowors won derful. When we told him that a place like ours could bo rented for about fif teen dollars a month, ho said one could n't get a single room for that in Now York, That such a home was out of the refc-eh of all but millionaires. It made me quite, proud of my home when he talked that way. His aunt told mother in confidence the rest an nose, eyes and mouth like other girls. Altho Noil said I had the sweetest mouth ho ever saw. But that was because I had dimples in the cor ners. When Neil told me he must go tho next day; lie had already overstayed his timo and could not go to Canada for a few dnys, as ho had Intended I cried all night long. Then it took me an-hour in the morning to remove tho traces of my tears. We spent that lest morning together, wandering thru a littlo wood near the house, and Bitting on a log where we hud ofteu sat and talked of different things Noil doing most of tho talking. Someway I felt my lack of knowledge whou with him, nltho he never in any way obtruded the fact of his better education. "I shall miss you -all," he had said, digging his stick in the soft moss at our foot. "And I shall miss you," my voice trembled. "Slw.ll you really, Babf " then he put nig arm around my waist and kissed me on my cheek. "Will you answer my letters if I write youf " "Indeed I shall." I returned as brightly as I could; yot with a queer, littlo feeling of disappointment that he Iuidu't said more. Tomorrow A Kiss Meant Much to a Country Girl. , BIG CONSOLIDATION ' (Continued from page one) ABE WE WAGOINQ OS BEING WAGGED? T0 the Editor: Dairymen are very much concerned over the freakish market conditions that recently caused a drop of 20 cents ic the price of butterfat in a week. The thing that disturbs tho farmer's peace of mind is the fact that feed cost has not been reduced. Feed is tho highest in history and it will be two' months before relief can be had. Turning to the probable causes that lead to such an unprecedented drop in tho market, we are reminded of tho roniark made by a Washington county dairyman recently when he said: "The tail wags tho dog, and it is making ike doe sick. Why don't the dog buck up end make the tail wagt" He stated the case exactly. This wholo dairy industry has been wagged about by Hie tail end. Over in Tilla mook county where the dairymen have a, perfect mnrkoting organization with in themselves tne reverse is true, iuere the dog wags the tail as tho dog creator intended that lie should. Nothing illus trates this better than tho mere fact that tho price of Tillamook cheese rais- d two cents during the stuno period that butterfat in Portland dropped 20 cents. "Consumers are. naturally glad to see tho orico of something drop. Buttor has taken tho lead and if every other commodity followed in equal proportion there could be little complaint. Bueli, however, is not the case. From Deeem bcr 20 to January 25 mill foed raised from 32.10 to $49. or 52 per cent, inc brought out at the milk com mission's hearing in the fall showed that at tho prices then prevailing diary men wore not getting cost of production tho reader can imamo how painful it; must be to tho dairymen to be wagged about by the toil end of the industry, with the above results. To produce at such a loss as the ,dairymen are now facing is Ruinous. No nther Industry could absorD sucn loss, The dairyman absorbs it by working longer hours, by working every member of the family long nours wunout com pensation, and by disregarding Interest on investment. Belief is possible here and elsewhere as it was mado possible in Tillamook by organization. The Oregon Dairymen Leairue provides such an organization. It has already produced results in the market milk situation. Tne macainery is in motion and its remains for the dairymen to demonstrate their ability to organize sufficiently to domand fair Pltt7- . . . a.

I doubted if more than two or three of the men ia town had more than that to spend men with families. It gave Neil an added interest in my eyes.
