THE DAILY CAPITAL JCUENAL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations THE IDEAL AMERICA. From an unusual source comes a severe arraignment of American civilization. Our whole system of civilization and work is attacked not by a Bolshevist or an I. W. W. or a Socialist or Anarchist of any recognized brand, but by an American Indian. He is the Reverend Chief Red Fox, otherwise known as Skiuhushu, a redskin of unusurl attainments, who is engaged in religious and social w k among the northern Blackfeet. Liberally equipped with the white man's culture, the Reverend Red Fox sweeps it all aside as worthless for the only purposes that count those of spiritual develop mentand harks back to the period of Columbus as the golden age of America. He scorns alike our vaunted in dustry and commerce, our economic struggles, our learn ing and our pastimes. Here is his notion of what America should be, as expressed in the New Church Messenger: "A country where every man is welcome to his right ful share of these resources, enough to supply his wants, enough for the supreme development of his ideals ; a coun try where there is an abundance of life's necessities for all, where wild animal life abounds and where waters teem with fish and are free of contamination ; a country where life is long, where there are few crimes, few prisons or asylums or other institutions, and few taxes; a country where honor prevails and men are beholden unto God alone; where men are free to go and come at will, where they may work as little or as much as they please, where there is no drudgery except what is self-imposed, where the simple material necessities of life are within the reach of all and men may devote the greater part of their days to the development of their minds and bodies, making of them sacred shrines and temples which the Supreme Being intended them to be, and not bodies of lust. This is no idle fancy, no commercial dream; it is the actual and nor mal earthly condition which nature intended man should inherit, through the process of his evolutionary develop ment on earth." It must be admitted that this sounds pretty good. It portrays a mode of life like an all-the-year-round vacation in a better vacation land than most of us have ever dis covered. We may be permitted to doubt whether the Reverend Red Fox's ancestors, when they possessed the facilities for such a life, ever profitted spiritually and physically to the extent that he seems to imply. Still, for ourselves, most of -us would be willing to take a chance on it if this red brother would only tell us how to go about it.- ' Senator Borah has declared that he "would not sup port any League of Nations even if Christ himself en dorsed it." This seems to settle the matter, so far as the Idaho senator is concerned. For, according to all trustworthy evidence, Christ himself did advocate a League of Na tions. He never wrote a political constitution for one, but all his teaching was directed to that end. He has always been known as the Prince of Peace. He came into the world to establish "peace on earth and good will to men." His teaching was accepted, withhis own approval as the fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, of the time when the lion and the lamb should lie down together, and the nations should not know war any more. It is just as well, then, for statesmen with such con victions as those of Senator Borah, to make their attitude frank and plain as he does. They would all deserve credit for acknowledging, with the same honesty, that they are determined to prevent Christendom from turning Chris tian, at a time when, after nineteen centuries of hypoc risy, it begins to appear possible and practicable. The news in the dispatches of the death of Former Senator Geo. F. Edmunds, at Pasadena, will occasion a start of surprise for many of the older class of read ers. No doubt most persons supposed that Edmunds died years ago, since he has been in retirement so long. Up to thirty years ago the Vermont senator had been a national character for years, and was frequently considered ser iously as the republican candidate for president. He was regarded as a man of great ability and unquestioned in tegrity, but cold and reserved and lacking in the elements of popularity. The pathetic wail about oppressing the auto owner bv raising license fees is all nonsense. If one was honest and paid the county tax assessed against his machine, he will get off cheaper now than under the old law. Before long the League of Nations will be competing with the National League for preferred position in the newspapers. , SCHOOL-DAY STRAIN A parent troubled over a child or a fast-growing youth, could do no better than to utilize the definite help that affords as a strengthening and nourishing factor.

President Wilson is said to have treated Senator Chamberlain very cooly when the latter called at the White House recently. A man possessed of ordinary nerve and assurance would scarcely have called on the president af ter having misrepresented and nagged at his conduct of public affairs as Chamberlain has. The boon of peace is good as wheat, succeeding years of sadness; it took the coldness from our feet, and filled our hearts with gladness. All day I speak about the boon, in crisp, well chosen phrases; at night I sit beneath the moon, and boost the same like blazes. It's good to wake at dawn, indeed, and cut some sprightly capers, and not be half afraid to read the war news in the papers. It's good to wander through the grad and not hear people saying, "Alas! Alack! The news is bad! The Huns are busy slaying!" It's good to walk abroad once more, and meet the early risers, and hear no reference to gore, to nutty kings and kaisers. Some things are slightly out of plumb, and kickers are disgusted, but reconstruction soon will come, and things will be adjusted. We have the good old boon of boons, the dove of peace is soaringand he's not worth two picayunes who spends the loner dav roaring. We can't get back in half a day to where the rumpus found us, but with the good old boon in play no problems car confound us. THE PROMOTER'S WIFE BY JANE PHELPS find something they used to sing to gether. . "It went like this, Noil," I heard her say, then she hummed the tune, "doji't you remember f r You Bhould," laugh ingly, "you made desperate love, to me that night." Mr. Frederick, the- man with whom I was talking, evidently als0 heard, for ho at once flushed and looked uncom fortable, while he talked more loudly as if ho wore trying to prevent me from hearing anything moro. But they had found the song, and were soon singing I had tn confess that their voices blend ed wonderfully well, and when they had finished I told them so. "3fou are very generous," Mr. Fred crick said to me when they commenced another duet. I had begun to quite like this bluff westernor, even tho ho lacked many of the graces possessed by men of society. He had interested mo wonderfully iu his descriptions ot big oil welts nw own ed in tho west, and also in Mexico. He had some pictures of them in his pock et, and seemed pleased that I was in terested. His little remark that I was generous made me Hko him all the more while, in & way, embarrassed me. It showed he was not unobservant and that if ho were a bit uncouth, that he appreciated the poiso which enabled me to appear unconscious of my husband's flirtation with Blanche Orton. After a little further singing, Neil sat down and talked a few moments with both the oil men while Blanche Orton' and I pretended to be interested in each other. But I found myself answering her at random while I listened' keenly to what Neil and his guests had to say. 1 haven't a doubt I can put it thru if you will not interfere," Neil remark ed, '1 think you would he. doing a very unwise and risky thing to try to man age it along the lines you suggest." Mr. Frederick said. "In the first place it is not the sort of an affair that we can afford to have any one who is shady mixed up in. In the second place if you Qo as you suggest and anything goes wrong, it will do us as well lis you a great deal ot harm. No, straight nieth ods are the best. There may not be so much money at first, but in the end is always pay. to be open aad above board." There was some more talk, thon our guosts lert alter JNcu mado an appoint ment to see them in tho morning. Wo talked very little when alone. It was late. But I lay awake far into the night once more with that foreboding sensa tion in connection with Neil's business affairs. Almost everybody who pays taxes is glad it's over. ft Newest Arrival- The New 1920 Light Four Studebaker is Here We were fortunate in securing one of these "new cars from the first carload shipped to the coast.

What had caused Blauebe Orton to muko that remark t Had there been something staid about her and Noil, and was she repeating it to himt Or pe haps he was retailing something to hor. Neil always talked more when he had been drinking. That was the way I al ways kucw wkon he had boon indulging himself, He never showed it in anl othor way. I had listened intently for Neil's reply to that speech of Blanche Orton 'i as we rose from the table. He had leant For Colds, Grip and Influenza Taks Qmnmo TsSsIqIg" Be sure you get the Genuine Look for this signature on the box. 30c. 'AM cd toward her and said just two words: "You rogue." Someway those two ' words hurt me more than if he had said more. It show ed an intimacy of which I , had not dreamed. I knew of Ncils manner with women, how he carelessly saia natter ing things, meaning them for the mo ment, then forgetting the woman and what he had said in another instant. But this was. different, this intimacy with Blanche Orton. I sensed danger to my happiness, yet I could not let Neil see how I felt. He was so wil ful, so headstrong, that an objection on my part to ki intimacy with her might drive him further, Instead of halting it. Not that I thought for a moment that Neil was seriously engaged or had in any way compromised himself . with Blanche Orton; I trusted him too per fectly. But I also knaw his disposi tinon. I knew he was in dangerous position. But she would have to mate a fight for him if that was Tier idea to take him from me. I should not let go easily. "Yon rogue!" Thl x-ords, the man ner of their, saying, came back again and again as I continued to talk of oil wells, etc., with our guests, while Neil and Blanche turned over the music to is expected drive from Oregon the menace of an unemployment period following tha return of the Oregon solilira from tho war. Late yesterday affcrnoon tho senate passed house bill 518, which was the compromise bill prepared 09 a substi tute for the widely heralded senate bills 67 and 68, the cMef of the anti patented -pavement measures. Tho senate also killed the two bills which had been introduced by Senator LaFollett for the purpose of abolish ing the office of parolo officer and turning the duties of that office over to the warden of the. penitentiary. In opposition to these bills, various senators mado the pTea that this office was very dear to the heart of Govern or Withycombe and because of the governor's poor stato of health noth ing should 'be passed by the legislature that would appear to be a slap at him. Senator LaFollett said he wanted to abolish tho iparole office in order to establish harmony at the prison, and thereby benefit the people of the state The senate reconsidered ats act in killing house bill 492, which amends the workmen's compensation law by providing that applicants for claims from the industrial accident fund niay appeal to the circuit court from any award mado ty the industrial accident commission, and passed the bill.
