TILE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is tie only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by tha Audit Bureau Of Circulations BaBoBob DECADENT FICTION. A former magazine editor, now reformed, tells a sig i ificent story of a novel writttn by a well known author. The manuscript came into his hands and was read by three professional "readers", all of whom reported to iim that the story was so indecent as to be unprintable, tuid "the public would never stand for it." The manu script was accordingly returned to the writer. That was back in 1903. Eleven years afterward the editor in question was surprised to see it published by the same magazine he had been connected with. It was t till a respectable magazine, too. The editor explained that the magazine had not changed, but its readers had. "The public not only stood for it, but ate it up and wanted laoie. Anvone familiar with the present run of fiction will probably agree that "the gradual decadence of taste on tne part of the great mass of magazine readers has not .nly made readers less easily shocked, but also actually i-ager to embrace these flashpots." "What shall I say of this literature and the prevailing lemand for and consumption of it?" asks the retired editor. "What shall anyone say. One word covers it all it is a debauch." Who is responsible? The writer says it is the New York magazine editors who have been "gradually feeding the public with rotten sex stones" until they have demor alized its taste. The editors defend themselves by saying that they have only been giving the public what it wanted all along. They take particular pains to explain that they minister to the western taste by "western" meaning t-verything west of the Appalachians and that "they like this sort of thing out west." A great many Westerners, however, indignantly re pudiate the charge, pointing out that there has been a similar decadence in the drama, and that American tlramas, as everybody knows, are mostly mostly made to suit 15 roadway taste. The Irish question is not an international question. It is purely a domestic question within the British Em pire. Americans can very properly ask Lloyd-George, as head of the British government, to consider the Irish claims lor sen-government and make self-determination 01 f 1U f T..1 J r..i. ...u..i. , i cestui uj.

Ireland's status at Paris is hardly different from that of New York or California. If either of those states wanted to leave the Union, the Peace Conference would certainly pronounce it a purely American problem, to be worked out here at home, desirably in harmony with the best moral judgment of mankind, but without any other toreign influence than that of moral suasion. The Roosevelt highway from a dairyman's point of view is discussed in an article in the Capital Journal to day.

Ihe coast territory furnUhing a market for these interior products is pourlv serv ed by roads. Thi makes the cost of transportation on merchandise like hay and era in prohibitive. The cost of lo cnl distiibution is so great that many dairymen find it necessary to raise their own hay, or a large portion of it. This reduces the size of their herds and the number of their hogs and thus materially lessens their consumption of hay and grnin. lor example, the cost of transioi-tniir a ton of hay or grnin from Tilbimook city, the railroad ter minus in Tillamook county, to certain of the richest dairy districts is ten dollars a ton. The -Roosevelt highway would reduce this cost by eight dol lars or more per ton. The conclusion is obvious. These farmers would increase their herds, raise more hogs, and thus double or treble the amount of hay and grain they now consume. 1'nder the present adverse conditions Tilla mook county alone, with its 15,(i0 dairy cattle and its large number of hogs, purchases annually close lo a half million dollars worth of imported hay and grain. When the llooscvelt Highway is completed these consum ers will draw heavily upon the Willam ette valley and eastern Oregon hay and rain disjricts for these supplies. It is safe to say that in the immediate fulnre. tiie ci;;--t counties o' Oreg-.u, with tlie evpni'sinn of the dairy indus try which the highway will bring ahout, would turtiMi a sternly and evcri increasing market for eastern and cen tral Oregon and Willamette valley pro ducts to the extent of three and a half million dollars or nioro annually.

Why forever have a jag on, why be oued for evermore? Come and moimt4he water wagon, I beseech and I implore!" Now I need no longer worry o'er their folly and disgrace; they must ride on that old surrey, for it is a groundhog case. Soon the Rum Holes will be closing, and no sot may saunter in, there to spend the long hours dosing his old works with Holland gin. Soon all barkeeps inu.t be quitters and no more shall thirsty jakes help themselves to brimstone bitters till they count their private snakes. So I don't denounce the dra eon till the welkins out of plumb, for all men must ride I he wagon in the happy days to come. I am done with fiery preaching, pointing out the drunkard's doom, done 'ilh begging and breeching when a frieiufhas nose i lihtum. I don't roast the brimming flagon, roast the v.'icker demijohn, fur all men must ride the wagon, and Mie time for talk is gone. There is no such thing as choos ing, though the soak !,o hot and sore; there has come an end to boozing, and the wagon's at the door.
