THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL J, the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation U guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulation. - The most assurring sign of the times is the order of Director General Hines to the railroad strikers. They are ordered to run the trains or the government will place other men on their job and face prosecution for every overt act they . commit. ' In other words, the government has at last asserted itself and served no tice on the rebels against recognized and lawful authority that they will no longer be tolerated in this country. It is high time that this was done since back of practically all these strikes ia the sinister hand of the professional revolutionist, the bolshevik or the anarchist. , The real American people .must awake to the ne cessity of combatting. a growing' menace ' to democratic institu tions and government. America must never be Russianized.

The legislatures of Alabama and Florida hive appointed commissions to co-operate in an investigation as to the feasibility of annexing part of Florida to, Alabama.

Officers high up in the British army have ben ordered to resume wearing the swords on all ceremonial pa rades and at of ficial ceremonies. This has provoked a good deal of Bntirh hu mor because the sword has been so completely outshone by mod ern weapons of warfare. If a symbol of military authority is necessary, the sword is probably more satisfactory than anything else which might be suggested. Imagine an officer trying to do the beautiful cere monial act with a bomb,: a trench periscope, a portable machine jam, a cluster of hand grenades or a miniature airplane lunging gracefully at his side! ' . . It seems strange, however, that even the sword is considered necessary to maintain the dignity and audacity of marshals, gen erals and colonels in peace time when it was so promptly discard ed for excellent reasons during the war. ' RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason CLOSE TO EARTH. I never yet have ridden in airplane or balloon, al though I've oft been bidden to board one and go skiddin' around the smiling moon. In motor cars I've gadded, but I'm not keen to fly; until the earth is padded, v ith velvet cushions added, I will not soar on high. I note the plane and scan it, but if I fell from that, the jolt would shock the planet, and all the folks who man it, and leave the buildings flat. I hold it right and proper for youths to tour the air; for they're as tough as copper; and if they come a cropper they do not need to care. But my old blood is chilly, I limp in many styles; and I'd look rather silly if I fell, willy-willy, about a dozen miles. My years are three score seven, and I'd lose dignity, if I come down from heaven, some fourteen leagues or 'leven, and landed in a tree. I hear the air fans calling, "Come with us, if vou please!" The sport is too appalling for one whose heard... is falling, all snowy, to his knees. Let reckless youth unravel the cloudland's mystery; the soil on which I travel, the unupholstered gravel, is good enough for me. Hunting A Husband BY MARY DOUGLAS THE BOOM BELOW CHAPTER LV ; Tiie steady 'coughing iu the room be low, kept uie awake. Mothered mo. frightened, me. Early, this morning. I slipped into my clothes. 1 knocked at I he door on the floor below. A weak voiee said, "iCoinc in." 1 entered. 1'roppod in a chair by tho window .sat n num.

"Would you mind if I just straight ened up a littlet". The whimsical look again, ..but he thanked mo graciously. tilndly I Btnrted the giegc. It was a mighty one. Odds and ends lay scat tered about. Cigarette stumps, matches, torn bits of paper. When these were gathered together, I saw light through the chaos. There were soiled dishes in every conceivable spot. These, too, I piled up nud took out into tho little pantry. 1 The couch T smoothed.. Plumped up the pillows softly. Turned out the flar ing gns .jet (for it was bright morning now.) 1 looked around. Dust thick on every tiling. With a damp cloth, I wip ed it ttwny. When 1 hail straightened the rug, and pulled down the shades so that they hung evenly, 1 louked around nio with pleasure. " Indeed it was a different place. The man had said nothing. Gradual ly his conah had died down. He looked at me with such grateful eyes, that no words were necessary. Then I flow up to my. room and buttoned myself into my blue gingham apron. 1 was back in his room now. Out in the tiny pantry, where ho did bis cooking. It was so davk, I lighted a candle. 1 heated wat er on a little gas arrangement. Thou .1 was washing his 'dishes and enjoying it! 1 found myself humming a little tune as I splashed in the soupy water. L His dishes were all clean and polish ed. I piled them iu a small cupboard that 1 found. As 1 tiptoed out into the other room, I saw the man lying asleep on his couch As he lay there., his face relaxed in sleep, I saw it was a fco of spiritual beauty.,. . . ' Softly J closed the door behind me. 1 went up to my room. How "Inring and artificial it looked in the bright morning light. It needs the twilight dullness to make it ar tistic. , I am mailing a little custard, now, for the sick inau below.

MADE BY SCOTT & BOWNE MAKERS OP SCOTT'S EMULSION 19-7A ing' with the state highway department, Salem. Chicago Fight On Prices Meets With Early Success Chicago, Aug! 29. KThicagoans to day saw their efforts against the high cost of living rewarded toy a steadily declining price list. 'With hogs selling at the stockyards here at $3 lower than they were three days, ago and $5 less than the record price reached July 31, practically all other food commodities ia local mur, kets showed lower figures. Reason for the slump in living costs was given as a desire by packers to quit killing livestock while house wives continue to use sparingly of fresh meat, fearing further lowered prices. Consequently, pens were crowd ed beyond capacity, the effect of the abundance being felt in other lines. Conditions Throughout Asia . Minor Pathetic Says Crane Paris, Aug. 29. (United Press.) Conditions throughout Asia Minor aro most patlietic, Charles B.Oanc, head of the American mission to Vhe Near East, declared today upon his return from Constantinople. "During three months," Crauo said, "we visited 300 towns and villages end received 1600 delegations, some . of which had spent days in crossing the deserts and plains. All of them were looking to America for assistance. -De spite the Moslem reserve, tho delega tions , without exception unburdened themselves to us, indicating that all tho hopes and ambitions of these peoples are tied up in the belief that tho United States will help them." Crane Baid the mission did not havb time to visit Armenia, but reports indi cated that conditions there were "ex tremely distressing."
