Philadel phia llnlletin. AFTER every great effort there follows a period of re action. We are now passing through' such a period, following the effort and sacrifices of the war. The high ideals which animated the nation a year ago, the causes for which we fought, the liberation of peoples, the free dom of humanity, the abolition of war, have apparently, been forgotten, smothered under the senate's blanket of billingsgate. America has had such reactions after all of her su preme effortsepochs that brought to the surface all that was little and contemptible in human nature. Small ' A 'J 1 i -.l'JI ! i -L - statesmen seen 10 niae ineir iauure to measure up 10 greatness in the hour of national peril by envious attacks upon those who did hence the abuse of Wilson, of Per shing, of Hoover, of Daniels, of all those who helped win the war by the Johnsons, the Reeds, the Shermans and the Borahs who didn't. After the revolutionary war, the reactionary ele ments had their inning and the colonies came near disin tegrating. After the adoption of the constitution, Wash ington was the center of a campaign of villification only equalled by that later showered upon Lincoln and in our own day upon Wilson. But these natural periods of reac tion have in all cases been followed by a return to normal, because the people are at heart wholesome and true to national ideals, if the self-seekers who misrepresent them are not. -' " The war will have been in vain if effort is not made to fulfill the aims for which the nation fought. A square deal to small peoples calls for a League of Nations now as a part of a treaty of peace worthy of our effort. We fought to carry the principles of the Declaration of Inde pendence to all nations. We won the battle. Are we go ing now to desert the cause for which we struggled? Is America to betray the trust that brought hope to Europe? America was not misrepresented at the fighting front nor at the peace conference. But she is misrepresented by the narrow visioned United States senate, where pro vincial partisanship and peanut politics have supplanted patriotism and would make the nation a slacker in her duty to humanity. " There are signs that this dark day of reaction is near ing an end and that a healthy public opinion will enforce itself, compelling acceptance of the peace treaty and silencing the braying asses of our national temple of dis cord. : ". HUNTING A HUSBAND By Mary Douglas A LETTER IS WRITTEN It seems too wonderful. Last night George Arnold stayed with me ull even ing. He neglected Margot and even Mia. Ashby. He uid to nie, "You are that rare thing, a modern girl with deli cacies! ' It has made me happy ever since. That ho should say that. He, a man among men. A man with the sure way that comes only from handling big things, and men. And J interested him, when I had given up all hope. Because I was myself was modest, ' But my little triumph has alloy. It runs through it all. The problem of Beunic. He says ho loves me; and he thinks it, too. And I must do something to make him forget. At last 1 have hit on a plan. By my advice, he would study at the Art League this winter. But it is" secondary a time-filler. While Bennie 's whole heart is set on going to war. I shall write to Bunnie's mother, mv great-aunt, whom I see seldom. I shall tell her Bonnie loves me. Is bent on marrying me. Swears he will do wild things if I will not marry him. And says many foolish things. Foolish, but they worry me. ... I shall tell her I am six yoors older than Bcnnie. But I am very fond of Bennie. Love him, in fact. But I shall tell her it is in a big-sisterly way. 1 shall write her too, that Bennie 's one aim is to go to yar. If she will let him do that, it will save him. But. otherwise I do not know where his madness may J lead him. Nor where' mv tiitv shall make me follow. The letter is written. I feel relieved. It would be .such a splendid way out. i! will make a man of Bennie. And though he is only nineteen, ho is not too youn to -serve his country. The die is cast. I can only hope snt will gee it as I do. George. Arnold is coming again to night. -And Judge Ashby. I cannot but wonder what he is. A while ago I went to Mrs. Ashby 'a room. She lay on her couch. The glar ing morning sun streamed over her. I could not but notice the sallowness of her skin. And the deep linos cut In her face. They are ewsed under a deli cate make-up. But I almost felt as if she were wor ried, frightened.. As if hc would tell something. But had laid a restraining finger oji her lips. . With all her charm and fascination, can she not hold her husband f Or is ho jealous of the attention she attracts! Or is it something else? I am curious I admit to see the husband of the bewitching Mrs. Ashby. But not as curious as I am happy. For George Arnold is coming tonight. (Monday Judge Ashby comes.) STUNTING SALEM. SALEM is losing population daily because of the ack of housing facilities. V New and growing industries assure payrolls and per manent tenantsyet no effort is being made to house them. One thing is certain the city is filled to overflowing and there-is no place for the prospective resident tcrmake his home. Salem cannot grow and expand unless more houses are provided. - - , i Property owners and builders who have held back expecting a reduction in building costs, are working a serious injury to the city's future for there is not going to be much of a reduction for some years and in all prob ability building costs will never descend to their old level. , The builder will, as formerly, figure upon a fair re turn upon his investment and the property will yield it for if building costs have increased, so have rents, and the increased earning power of renter makes it easier to col lect. Community welfare demands an effort upon the part of the city's monied men to solve the housing problem at once. If individuals will not build, the example of other cities should be followed and a building corporation form ed, its stock subscribed by the public, and operations un dertaken upon a large scale. The houses so constructed would be sold before completion, or rented in advance for long periods at a rate that would insure profits to the stockholders. 4 Prominent Calif ornians have wired Senator Hiram Johnson requesting him to cease his opposition to the peace treaty on the ground that he is misrepresenting the people of California. Johnson who is now, as always, a self seeker, does, not care what4he people of California want. He will ignore the request and continue his shame less campaign for the presidency by appealing to the Bol sheviki and the hyphenated, securiing thereby additional notoriety. , ROSEBURG ASKS FOR WATER PEMIT FOR CITY POWER PI ANT W. S. Hamilton, mayor, and B. L. Whipplo, recorder, of the city of Rose burg, have filed Vjth tho state engi neer 's offico an application for permis sion to appropriate 880 second-feet of water from the North TJmpqua j-iver for a municipal power plant.
