THE BOLSHEVIK FIASCO IN ARGENTINE.
Trip Hmftd that Bolshevism had taken root in Argen

thoroughly dissipated by the turn ot wents, according w
a writer in L'Europe Nouvelle (Paris). The Bolsheviki

the labor federation ot Argentina tney succeeaea in Dung
ing about a general strike. For days the strike paralyz
ed the city. There were riots in the principal streets and
in some sections the strikers stormed the police-stations.
But, our informant relates, General Delepianne, who Tiad
been appointed military commander of the city with
10,000 troops at his disposal, was prompt and firm in his
methods of repression. It is said that 600 rioters were
killed and many more wounded. By the middle of Jan
uary conditions had been restored to normal and the gov
ernment set about a policy of correction as follows, ac
cording to the Literary Digest:
"Two thousand strikers and agitators were arrested,
of whom about 80 per cent were Russians. There were
also some two hundred Catalonians, refugees from Bar

RIPPLING RHYMES

WINTER RAIN.
The rain pours jdown by day and night; it's wet and
mostly water; it makes the world a sodden sight, it makes
my reason totter. It looks, as though 'twould never cease,
or take a small vacation; but it is good for ducks and
geese, and that's a consolation. I'm glad it's not a total
loss, this rain so moist and galling; I'm glad that it can
come across with some excuse for falling. It makes the
town a dismal place, where men all cuss together; and
there's a scowl on every face; we sigh for brighter
weather. The merchant princes in their stores are far
from being sunny; no patrons seek their well known doors
to blow in useful money. No farmers' wagons stand
around, the main street is deserted; we raise a sad and
wailing sound, and marry tears are squirted. The weath
er bureau's slipped some cogs, against the people's wishes;
yet rain is good for snakes and frogs and divers kinds of
fishes. We always should remember this, that nothing's
vain or useless; and we'd be just as shy of bliss if days
were dry and juiceless. So let us dig up gaudy smiles
eschew the blues and willies; the rain is good for croco
diles, for rice and water lilies.
of Lenine and Trotsky had already organized a general
Soviet at Buenos Aires, the president of which was. a
Russian, named Peter Wald. All its members were either
executed or imprisoned. The Maximalists, the Russian
students, and the Spanish and Argentinan anarchists
were planning to raise an armed force of four thousand
men to take possession of the capital.
"How did it happen that a movement which broke
out with such violence was stopped so soon and that work
was resumed so promptly? To explain: the Argentinian
workers, who at first followed the leaders of the strike,
acted in good faith because they believed they were fight
ing for their claims as true Argentinians. They had not
the slightest use for Bolshevik politics, and as soon as
they realized that they were the tools of foreigners they
completely fell away from the movement. A delegation
of Argentinian workers has made attestation that the
genuine strikers did not take part in the attacks on the
police stations. This was the work of the Russian anar
chistic element.
"One illuminating fact is that the Bolsheviki made a
big blunder when they thought they could sweep the mas
ses of South America into support of their doctrine. The
Latin peoples of the New World have a very strong sense
of nationality. On internal questions they may be divid
ed, but as soon as they perceive a foreign attempt to inter
vene in their affairs they are joined in the 'sacred union.' '

The United States employment service, has as one of
its working branches a "handicap section". The purpose
of this department is to place older men and women in
positions suitable to their strength and ability, enabling
them to enjoy independence and usefulness.
' For some years just prior to the war there existed
an undue prejudice in favor of youth. Young men and
women were wanted for all kinds of positions, and the
gray-haired man or woman was frequently relegated un
reasonably to the scrap heap or to a very unhappy de
pendence on" the younger workers who supplanted him.
Then came the war, taking the young peqple into the
war work, into the army and navy and nursing until em
ployers were forced to turn again to the older people to
fill many positions. Then they found that those older
people were quite capable of doing efficient and capable
work and of earning self-supporting wages.
There is plenty to do in the world and workers of all
ages are needed to do it. It is in order to locate the oppor
tunities for those past the prime of hf i who want to keep
actively employed that the handicap section Was opened.
Last month, 1367 middle-aged men were placed in the
state of Massachusetts. In one year 28,000 such individ
uals were given jobs in Chicago, receiving salaries aggre
gating $9,000,000. That figure indicates that the sal
aries were quite low. Nevertheless they were enough to
lift the worker from near-mendicancy to a self-respecting
position in life.
The movement is m the right direction. No one
should be deprived at an arbitrary age limit of work
which he enjoys and is capable of performing satisfactorily.
The Commercial Club has elected a new manager and
we presume is preparing for an active campaign this
year. The outlook for Salem was never so encouraging
before, and a little energetic and systematic work wn'
boost our interests far ahead, and make the capital city
an important business center. New industries and inter
ests are coming of their own accord, indicating that a
little organized effort will be able to accomplish much in
the way of permanent growth.
An Eastern editor, not inured to prohibition as we
are out here, says that the trouble with the various near
beers is that they don't seem, to get near enough.
The authoritative estimates of what Germany is go
ing to pay the Allies differ to the extent of about $100,
000,000. Somebody at Paris needs an adding machine.

THE PROMOTER'S VIFE

at others was eoldly sarcastic.
I besought him: I tried to reason with
him, I almost prayed to him, bet with

nnd swnrc ho would not have me inter
fering with his business affairs. He
sneered at my puritanical up-brinping,
every little while fortifying himself bv

taken from the collarette when he first
commenced to rave at mo.
As usual, 1 had done harm ,?hen I'
wanted only to d0 eood. Bv and bv
when he had worn himself out with tho
violence of his emotions, I cmwu ttlWt

said nothing to cnuse this tirade; and
I shall not talk to you any more tonight.
Come, dear, kiss and make up. I know
you do not moan half vou have said. If
you did I would have to go home, I,
couldn't stay.
To this day, I do not know whether
I meant what I said or not. But it
seemed to sober Neil immediately. He
mumbled something about being tireH
and worn out when he came home, and
then about my pitching into him when
he was jn that condition. But after a
bit he said shamefacedly:
''Forgot it, Bab, please. I guess I
have been more or less a bruto to
night. " Then: "Forgivo mo and kiss

Babsie, that you will never say that

The old pet name was like a kiss. He
seldom had used it since our marria-ee.

Suddenly it came over me that Neil
was unhappy. That he had perhaps ue
eun to drink more than was gootf liir

said! Yet I found myself sayine in

With a curious impression of effort

"Then nevor say it again, Bab,

bomeway, in thinking of it long after
he slept, his fear that I might leave
him comforted mo. And it was the only
thing about our talk that did that and
his calling me "Babsie."

A Live Man
In a Graveyard
An Announcement
We have opened a printing shop in Salsm. It is' called
The Quickener Press.
Maybe there's enough printing shops in town already
and maybe there isn't. .
We have been told by some of the knowing ones of the
profession' that Salem was a sort of a "printers' graveyard."
(They meant to encourage new competition.) Our answer
is, that being the case, perhaps a burial or two (not mere
funerals) ought to take place. Some folks are dead and
don't know it. They continue to walk around and grunt and
bellyache-BUT THEY'RE DEAD! They're not an asset
to the community.
A live man need have no fear of a graveyard. He can
walk in and out and up and down and through and across
and all around it and not get buried.
But pshaw! who said graveyard? Where? We can't see
it There's nothing like that around here!
The Quickener Press is not entering the field witfy the
expectation of getting wrecked on tombstones. We may
puncture a tire but we carry an extra and we'll slap it on as
quick as we can and keep in the running. We shall conduct
a legitimate business, on business principles, and shall en
deavor to justify our existence and to make ourselves an
asset to the community.
The Quickener Press is equipped to do first class print
ing of all kinds. Let us figure with you on your next job of
printing. We are at your services to offer any suggestions
or be of any assistance we may, whether we get the-job
or not.
We are located at 193 N. Commercial over Gale & Co.
