' THE DAILY CAJTITAL JCUUNAL Ia tha only aowapaper in Salem whoaa eircnlation ia guaranteed by tha Audit Bureau Of Circulation TURKISH REPENTANCE. Says Tewfik Pasha, until recently grand vizier of Turkey:-"We do not deny ances in Armenia, but deplore trying those responsible for Having made this admission, he insists that he "wants the facts known in their true light," and accordingly has asked for an international commission 'to ascertain ths true facts about the Armenian massacres." He proceeds to give some explaining how the Mussulman population was terronz ed by "Armenian bands who crimes , and how Armenians attacked the helpless Turk ish, army in the rear while it was fighting the Russians. All this has a very familiar sound. It sounds exactly like the "deploring" that was done by Germany over the outrages in Belgium and France, and the accompanying explanations intended to excuse those crimes by trumped-up charges of Belgian and French perfidy. It will be remembered, too, that the German government had ths audacity to ask for an "impartial investigation" under the direction of the very German commander who ordered many of the outrages committed. We do not believe the Armenian is a saint, although he is denominated as a Christian, and sometimes in the past through the years of Constant strife with the Turk, we have thought that it was about a 50-50 proposition, and that the outside nations might do well to form a ring around the belligerents and let them fight it to a finish without interference. But the wholesale massacres and torture of the Armenians, by the Turks, when the position of the former was helpless during the great war, calls for the severest punishment. "The repentent Turk should be accommodated liter ally. There have been investigations of Turkish mas sacres in various parts of the world until the investigators have sickened. Still, another inquiry would do no harm and would serve to put the "true facts" on record beyond question. The world will know exactly what to do in the way of protecting those helpless Turks from their blood thirsty enemies. ' Perhaps the best way would be to drive the poor, abused Turks so far back into their native Asia that they would no longer be in contact with the Armenians. That solution would be all the more acceptable because it Would take them out of contact And Salem is moving right to the front this year. Al ready there is need of a building campaign to house our people. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason WOOZY WILLIE. . We'd better watch the former kaiser, or he'll be back on Prussia's throne; we leave him free it might be wiser to house him in a shack of stone. Some donjon keep of an cient pattern, with walls a score of cubits thick, with no one near but some grim slattern to hand him musty bones to pick. A lot of Huns are busy plotting to see their exiled Bill recrowned, and will be till his nobs is rotting in some damp dungeon underground. And Bill sits up, in waitful watching, and doubtless murmurs, o'er and o'er, "Unless they do some bonehead botching, mv friends will have me crowned once more." I hate to think what things may happen if Bill again his sceptre owns; perhaps some four years more of scrappin', with ghastly toll of blood and bones. It is no dream that Huns arc planning to bring the old rule back again, all corners of the empire manning with Bloody Billy's kind of men. And we permit the exile cheesy to stay where he can help them plan; I wonder why we are so easy; why don't we squelch the also ran? We used to say we'd surely punish old Bill and wipe out every debt; for all his misdeeds, base and Hunnish, he'd have to pay in bloody sweat. He sits in peace, the mon strous vandal, who should be fed to hungry sharks; it is a blooming shame and scandal and why are we such easy marks? . .

STEAK PRICES The Bureau of Statistics of the federal Department of Labor has been collecting some statistics about steaks. The price of serloin steak of presumably the same quality. j at the same time, was found to be 28 cents in Minneapolis, i:!2 cents in San Francisco and New Orleans, 37 cents in Dallas and bt Louis, 4:. cents in New York, 36 cents in Cleveland, 44 cents in Baltimore, 45 cents in Pittsburg and Philadelphia, 50 cents in Washington, 54 cents in New Haven, 56 cents in Boston and 65 cents in Providence, R.I. The lowest prices quoted in this list seem to be some thing like the varying and unstable prices in the differ ent Oregon towns. Why this wide difference in price should exist the statisticians seem to have made no effort to explain. Pos sibly the problem is insoluble. The meat business, as everybody agrees, is dominated by the Chicago packers. They are supposed to control prices. If they are controlling sirloin steak prices, thev certainly have a system of price-fixing that is beyond the i ' it. i " cuiupreiiensiun ox me average ciuzen. If the packers have not had anything to do with thes3 prices, there enters a different problem. The packers' tnemseives nave always defended their apparent mon opoly on the ground that it served to stabilize the market. If there is any stabilization in a 28-cent steak market at Minneapolis, 56-cent steak at r rancisco and 65-cent steak at Providence, an ordinary consumer cannot see it with the naked eye. Transpor: tation charges will not explain it. Sectional prices of live stock will not explain it. Retail competition will not ex plain it. What will? Senator Borah objects to any League of Nations plan that gives smaller nations as much representation as the United States in the executive council. And Senator Borah is perfectly satisfied with a system which gives Idaho as much representation in the United States as New York, which has more than twenty times as many people as Idaho. They are going to have a conference of Oregon pub lishers to decide on the plan of campaign for the coming Victory bond drive. When the government needs help it appeals to the newspaper editors and at all other times does what it can to restrict and hamper their business and make life a burden to them. Bank deposits of Salem are now considerably past the $7,000,000 mark, which is exceedingly gratifying. .Also it will mean that we must dig up more money as our quota of the coming Victory bond drive. , ' . Without any senate or president the people of the United States no whave a chance to try out that theory of self-determination. Spring flowers and Spring poets are once again "in our midst." THE PROMOTER'S WIFE BY JANE PHELPS BARBARA IS ANXIOUS BECAUSE NEIL IS DRINKING. CHAPTER XLI. When Neil came home to dinner I saw at once tliut his mood has changed.

He had spent hours, tbo day before, calling on Blanrho Orton; how did I know that he had hot been there again this after noon f He ate very little dinner, but emptied his glass several times. And he talked, talked gaily, as a person talks when something which has caused them anxiety, is done with. When I begged him not to drink any more, he became repentant, and pushed his gins away. Then, as we sipped our coffee he told me a littlejust enough to give me a hint as to the cause of his troubled actions of tlio past few days. "That damned Scott thought he was mighty smart," he said, apropos of nothing. I fairly held my breath, hop ing he would go on. "What did he dot" I could wait no longer, ''Tried to bluff me! He ran up against the wrong fellow, I can tell you (lot cold feet and tried to make trouble for me. Hut I headed him off took his stock off his hands. I'll show him ho onn't fool with me." His voice was strident, loud. "What did he want to get rid of it forf" "Said it wasn't worth the pnpfr it was written on, or some such thing. Tried to oueer me wi'h Frederick, too. But he fell down there. Frederick stood pat." I stood cold with dread. Mr Fred erick had a motive in telling me he would be my friend. Had he alveadv proven a friend? Had he stood ''pat" as Neil hud said, because of his friend ship for met "Where who took his stock?" I ask ed. "Mr. Frederick?" ' Xo w-hn; made yon think it was Frederick ?' "What you said that ho 'stood pat.' " "It was a good friend of mine who did it a verv good friend." He then buried himself in the poper, whue t wondered who the ''very good friend" could be at the same time feelin" re lieved that it had not been Mr. Fred erickthe man who had offered to serve me if ever there should be need.
