' " THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Ii the only newspapor in Salem whose circulation ia guaranteed by the Audit Bureau THE UNEMPLOYMENT SCARE. Perhaps the unemployment problem caused by de mobilization has been exaggerated. Everybody knows how much has been said in recent months about the dif ficulties of re-absorbing the soldiers into productive in dustry. The papers and Imagazines have been full ot speculation, and the matter has been a theme of discus sion in every household. ... , There has been a real problem, without doubt. But according to the opinion of the Saturday Evening Post, it has been more hysteria than real danger. ... "Careful research indicates that the whole matter is a case of nerves," says the Post, "a case of judgment im paired by the strain of war and war's uncertainties. It is not to be denied that there is idleness in certain indus trial centers. It is no more to be expected that men will step out of war jobs into peace jobs wtihout a moment s loss of time than that a traveler can pass from train to train without an instant's delay at junction points, lne great fundamental fact is that there will be enough work for all. Farms, factories, railroads, shipyards and the building trades are crying for men. Arrears of produc tion in private industries and public works will have to be made up, and few able-bodied workers who really want to work need long remain separated from the waiting jobs. While there is naturally a period of unsettled con ditions, made inevitable in the" changing from a war basis to the industries and pursuit of peace, there is every rea son to believe that a period of remarkable business ex pansion is at hand. There is a more optomistic feeling among businessmen everywhere. The validation of in formal war contracts, at last authorized by congress, will provide so much available money that the men returning f rom-now on can probably be taken care of with little dit Xieulty. The politicians with their constant talking about the unemployment problem is the worst danger now con fronting the nation. The legislature seeks to have its sessions lengthened because of the number of bills before it, says the Medford Mail Tribune. A longer session would mean still more bills with the same jam at the end. The legislature can maKe its own rules to remedy the situation. It can limit the num ber of bills to be introduced by each member, and set a time limit upon their introduction. There is no necessity of passing upon over a thousand measures an average of over 12 bills for each member, tinkering with every subject under the sun. Outside of appropriation bills, highway construction and a reclamation program, the mass of other legislation could be dispensed with without injury to the commonwealth. . It's a long spell of peace and quiet that lasts f orty ei.ht Lours in Berlin, since the socialists came into power. RIPPLING By Walt Mason THE OLD LONGING. No odds how mild the winter is, how modestly the blizzards bliz, we long and yearn for spring; we want to see the flowers in bloom,. to see the grass enjoy a boom, and hear the blue jays sing. Sometimes you'll see a win ter try to emulate the warm July, or spring the curves of June; but it is winter, after all; the vines hang dead upon the wall, we hear no catbird's tune. The skies may be all blue and fair, and warm as milk the genial air, but no one's fooled, I wot; the boughs are naked on the trees; where are the blossoms and the bees, the things that hit the spot? Old winter smiles like blooming May, pretend ing that he's had his day, and that he's shot his bolt; but still we fear and don't believe; we think he's something up his sleeve, we dread another jolt. Until the land is full of wrens, and lambs and calves and setting hens, our fears shall never cease; and we are longing for the day when winter's really gone away, and spring has brought us peace OEEGON .A5 35 Per Month.. TELEUKAPH EEPOBT or circulations RHYMES A SOLDIER'S There is one soldier, anyhow, who doesn't have to worry about a job when he gets home. He is Curtis Boyle, of Peabody, Kansas. When Boyle went off to fight his only possession was a worthless farm he bought at $2 an acre. But during his absence somebody drilled an oil well on his farm. That well is now yielding 600 barrels a day, quite enough to provide for the simple wants of a modest war veteran. Tht best thing about it is that Boyle richly deserves his good luck. He served four years, first as a volunteer in the Canadian army and later in the American army. Hp has heen passed and burned bv liauid fire, is minus several ribs and one lung, has silver plates in his leg and collar bone, and has so many bullet and shrapnel wounds that his "wound stripes" run all the way from his wrist to his shoulder. Six hundred barrels is none too much for Boyle. . , . j ... "Vice runs not in Berlin," says a government report. Nothing new about that. Berlin has long been noted as the wickedest city in Europe-and the gloomiest. There is vice without gaiety. Night life there is a cult, solemn ly set up by the Prussians in deliberate competition with Paris, without the Parisian lightness, grace and wit. Every night is one long orgy--and, gosh, how they dread it! . The U. S. treasury says it will cost the Amer ican public about $1,200,000,000 a ytar for the next twenty-five years to pay off the war debt. But why worry ? It is only taking it out of one pocket to put it into the other. - When everybody has an individual wireless telephone that he carries around in his pocket, people will kick about the rotten telephone service just the same. But the menace of strikes that tie up the service will be over, anyway. March came in like a lion, bringing rain and wind, as well as the viracous income tax collector.

I was stunned, unable to make any reply to Mr; Fredorick Ifor a few mo nionts. Ho waitted, saying nothing moro. All the forboding sensations I had ex perienced concorning Noil's business affairs, ruahed over me with increased impetuosity. Then suddenly came a sort ,of indignation. Who was this man that dared to sav such things about my hus- iband, my Noilt He was accusing him of dwhonosty at least it amounted 10 that. ' ' You are mistakon, I am sure, m what you say," I returned coldly, al though T was tremblinc. "Neil, my I husband is an honorable man." , 'l was afraid you might not take what I had to do in the way I meant it. But I had to do It.-1 eouldn.'t see your husband ruin himself and others, without a protest." The man s face would have convinced anyone that he really believed what he said. All my indignation against him oozed away, the while I did not believe what ho had told me rather I tried to compel mysolf to think I did not be lieve it Ho was mistakon, that was all. He had misunderstood Neil. He , had meant well. "I'm skwry I spoke as I did, Mr. Fredorick, I am sure you mean to bo kind. But I am just as positive that vnn urn nusiiidieni?

I put on my hat and took a brisk walk, thinking to rid myself of my "foolish fears," as, I called them to myself. But the sensa tion of foreboding remained with me. I could not shake it off.
