THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL la the only newspaper in Salem whoee circulation ia guaranteed by tha Audit Bureau Of Circulations LESS MAJESTY AGAINST THE SENATE. Maximillian Harden, the most brilliant of German editors, and the only one of them who has seemed thru out the war to understand the spirit and purpose of the American people, discussing the American attitude to ward the peace treaty, says: , . , - "In no country on earth, from the time the people ad vanced from the role of chorus to that of active participa tion in affairs, has public opinion ever been recognizable from proceedings in the sphere of senates, where natural ly conservative and often plutocratic currents flow stronger than in the valley inhabited by the masses of the pe0PIf"this is not less-majesty, what is it? Harden had better look a little out, or the senate will launch a with ering resolution at him. ; 1 ' ' ARE WE HARD-HEARTED? - h One critic of his kind speaks sharply of the healthy individual who sits placidly reading or meditatyig in a street car and lets a prippled soldier stand. His point is well taken. The man who has been dis abled in the service of his country deserves a little extra consideration from his fellow-men, and should at least lie-offered the chance to sit down in a street car,, though pride may keep him from accepting the offer.. , , -The critic goes on to say that most of us are not really hard-hearted or indifferent, but just careless. But is this altogether true?) What is the dividing line? And does it make much difference whether it is a crippled soldier or some civilian equally uncomfortable or unhappy? An older person whose years alone mean weariness? Or perchance just a female of the species, whose physical structure is such that standing is worse for her than for the stronger sex? And can we truly maintain that we are not hard- RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason TURBULENT TIMES. Uncle Sam is feebly swearing, as he never did before, and his wintry locks he's tearing, and we see him walk the floor; for the country's all excited, and our old time peace iiv blighted, and the wrongs that should be righted come a-rapping at his door. Every man has got a hammer, and we all rear up and knock, and we yawp around and yam mer, and we heave the brick and rock; and we strike and quit our labors, and go rioting with neighbors, till the soldiers with their sabres drive us. homeward in a flock. We are full Of peA and mettled, and we stamp old systems flat, for the country is unsettled, and we don't know where, we're at; profiteers are driving shoppers to the refuge of the paupers, and we whip the village coppers, and knock off the statesman's hat. All respect for law and orcter we have lost and care no hoot, and we're drift ing to the border of black chaos and its loot; but we'll stop before arriving, and our Uncle, still surviving, will heboid us nobly striving to o'erwhelm that chaos brute. For a time we've lost our senses, after all that wartime f '.rain,- and we're tearing down the fencesbut we'll put them up again; for we all are top blamed clever to keep up this lick forever,-- and we soon will make endeavor to convince you that we're sane. hearted when it is our daily habit to neglect the oppor tunity for kindness, or that we are not' indifferent when we habitually ignore the claims of those, who are weaker than ourselves?
