THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only Bewspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations NEWSPAPERS FAVOR LEAGUE. A majority of the leading newspapers in the United States, which have declared themselves one way or an other or the question, is in favor of the League of Nations. , This statement applies generally to all sections of the country, from Maine to Texas and from Georgia to Ore gon, and is based on despatches from New York World correspondents who were asked to ascertain deiimteiy tne editorial opinions of the newspapers in their respective states. In answer to its inquiry, The World received nearly fifty telegrams from all sections of the country. In not one of these telegrams was the statement made tnat a ma jority of the dailies in any particular State openly opposed the league. Furthermore, very many of the correspondents re ported that not only were the democratic papers support ing President Wilson but many of the republican news papers are openly advocating the president's policy. Some even go so far as to criticise republican senators for their opposition to the president. In some sections of the country there is a demand from the newspapers for more definite information; and those which oppose the league make it clear that modifica tions and amendments aimed to insure the future integ rity of the Monroe Doctrine would meet their objections. In some instances correspondents found it impossible to state the exact number of papers in the state for or against the league. In such cases, without exception, in formation obtainable showed that by far the greater num- Germany demanded "freedom of. the seas", and ihe ceas are being made free in a sense that the sea-assassins never dreamed of. They will be free hereafter not mere ly for Germans, but for dll mankind including the Ger mans ,as long as they're good. i More than that, even the rivers are to be free. The ! peace conference is taking the Germans at their word with a vengeance. There is going to be more water-way 'freedom hereafter than ever before in history, and the Germans themselves are to be unwilling contributors to it. ' ' - The Rhine itself is to be made permanently free to the commerce of nations, instead of remaining a "Ger man river." The Danube is internationalized too. So are the Dardanelles and Bosporus, as everybody knows. And the process is being applied now to the Kiel canal, which has been hitherto the private property of Germany, re served for the exclusive use of the German fleet in its marading expeditions against peaceful neighbors. Th internalization will be carried out under the juris diction of the League of Nations. It is an appropriate task for that body, and one of the big duties justifying its creation. RECOGNIZE SOVIETS AIRPLANES FIND OUTLAW COTTON.' RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason WINTER'S BACKBONE. Let glad words be joyously spoken, let bonnets be thrown in the air; the backbone of winter is broken, it's fractured so none can repair. Farewell to the sleet and drizzle, mild zephyrs will presently fomc; old winter's a frost and a fizzle, the limit of all that is bum. I see in the heaven's a token that spring will be here with the goods; the backbone of winter is broken, the birdlets will sing in the woods. Farewell to the coughing and sneez ing, to wintertime ailments all know, to nights that are age-long and freezing, to winds that are plastered with snow. I feared that an overcoat oaken would hold me ere winter was done; the backbone of winter is broken, make way for the soothing old sun! Make way for the roses and lilies, make way for the grass and the dew; the win ter has given us willies, but spring makes us better than new. From Hannibal clear to Hoboken let's lift up a rap turous song; the backbone of winter is broken, the back bone that hung on so long. A i a i Aii-planes are now being used to locate outlaw cotton fields along the Mexican border. Mexico takes no meas ures against bollworm, arch enemy of cotton. Hence, the present incursions in vast numbers of these most destruc tive creatures into American cotton areas, there is a belt along the border where it is decreed by law that no cot ton shall be grown. Any other crop is all right, but cot ton is taboo. As always in such cases, there are individ uals who will not sacrifice their small private gain even to the fact of so great a danger as the bollworm, and hid den away in the 'swamps and thickly wooded regions are these cotton fields, grown in defiance of the law and worms. ' " rt'.mf-- Until aerial observation made it easy, it was almost impossible to- locate these fields, so cunningly were they hidden. Now the whole area is charted and watched, and the offenders located. ; Hunting bollworms with airplanes may not be so thrilling as hunting Huns, but it is a good job just the same, for the man who endangers the public welfare for the sake of personal gain is no less a menace than any foreign foe. He should be just as relentlessly pursued and punished. The American Radiator company is running an in teresting series of advertisements boosting the "Buy It Now" campaign. The movement seems a good one from all standpoints, since there is necessity for buying in all lines of production in order to stimulate business during the process of reconstruction, and the shifting of industry from a war to a peace basis. As a matter of fact if build ing operations could proceed at this time there would even now be an era of great business activity and expan sion, and it is sentiment along this line that these adver tisements are designed to create and foster. If any of the worthy judges of the supreme court of the United States who are not good judges of beer and its effects, they will have to get busy and qualify. Nothing short of personal experience will enable a man to decide intelligently about .that 2 ;-4 per cent. New Chicago Parly Also Wants Troons Withdrawn From Russia. Chicago, March 2S.

" The committee met immediately 01 receipt of news that the Russian soviet government against had asked recogni tion.

RECOGNITION An observer, looking for evidences of activity on the street, commented upon the empty, lonesome npcparaneu ot the Wood Hose Overland agency, on 8tate street. "There's a mighty good reason for that," explained JFr. Kirkwood. "We have sold nine curs so far this week cleaned out our stock and wired for an other car which we expect in tomorrow or Monday. Pretty good evidence that the Overland is one of the most popular cars on the market.

Not so today, as it is far too valuable for that. Ask to see the new pieces in this wood. Of course we have all the up-to-date styles in white and ivory finish.

ONCE MORE BAB 13 DISTURBED BrcAusE or blanche oeton. C1IA1TKK I.X11I, Tile next three uioutlise passed quietly and quickly for mo. I was so happy with my buoy boy, so busy getting strong and well so that 1 might really care for him uroperlv that nothing else seemed to affect me. Then one day I suddenly woRO up to the fact that Neil was out a grciu ueal; that iu the last month he hint not umy taken up the old habit of staying at his club, but that he was remaining away Inter, and more often then he ever had before. lie had been so devoted in the months before baby came, so tender mid thoughtful of mo in the few weks after ward, that I had been lulled into forget fuluess of things that hud gone lie-fore. l! iva.i at a dinner given by Iflaneho Orion, that my eves were opened. Just small dinner to a few. Mie was still iu soft grays and lavenders, although lier.husband hnd been dead a yvar. They were becoming. Lorraine Morton said, and that was the reason the wore tliem so long. 1 eot n very expensive and beautiful gown. I h:ul the same feeling 1 always had hnd about looking my best before Hlnnche Orton. even though I had given her very little thought the past few months (one reason probably being that Lorraine Morton, who usually brought mo all the gossip, had been out of town on a visit).. I rested all day long a tribute I never thought of paying uiu ner before baby came. And I was sat isfied that I neved hnd looked better. Neil's eyes showed ho was pleased and jhc said several fluttering things, mnk- i"- me feel still more assured that I should not be entirely overshadowed by our hostess. There were only eight at the table. ! As it hnd used to be, Neil was next to Mrs. Orion. It seemed to me mm. nflo ihad taken on now fascinations, new at tractions. Surely no grief because of ) her widowhood, was evident on her fnce; it wore a more vivacious toon than , before the tragedy, lu fact, I hud seen I her but once or twiee since that. She jto had been away, and I had remained So closely at home it .was not to !e won , dered at that I felt almost a stranger. I Aside from Lorraine, tho guests wore grangers to me. But they were gay. attractive people, and I know I talked i better than usual until 1 snw Lorraine ; gating at Neil with such a peculiar look ! in her fves that my attention was at (trsoted. I saw at once ho was drinking too much. Then, too, he was reading to j ward Blanche, and they seemed to be ! arguing about something something disntrreable, it seemed to me. 1 felt a touch of uneasiness. Such argument, the expression oa their faces, showed a degree of intimacy not compatible with the courtesy due a hostess; neither did it give cue the impression of a flir tation. 1 drooped a little. What could tliey bo tn Iking about in that earnest, con fidential way'! I had really enjoyed my evening tip t0 the time 1 caught Lorraine looking at Neil. It had been s(. long since I had been t0 an affair. I made up mv mind to question Neil the moment we were alone. Why 1 shoilld have thought he would be more willing to confide in me because of baby's coming. I can't explain; but, someway, I did. Neil und T had barely talked of any thing save the baby since he came. I had not realized it until then. It came to me suddenly that he was talking to her, Blanche Orton. about his business. And that he looked queerly worn o.ut and nervous compared to wtia v i.art when we left home. I would urge him to in away for a vacation. Not alone; hnbv and I would go aloner. We would find some quiet place whore he eould rest. Before we rose from the table he seemed to have recovered his snirits. But, somehow, what I had seen had made me remember very poignantly tho things which hnd so worried me juntos before.
