NoN-PARTIsANsHIP IN GOVERNMENT

Do, or do not, the Capita. Journal and others of its kind, think the pres1'
dent should summon to the service of the government for the var hgn
loya American citizens, irrespective of pFy?-oregonian'
That has been President Wilson's policy and we heart
iy endorse it. The men comprising the various war
boards have been selected regardless of their party atflla-
tions. Hoover, for instance, is a republican and SO is
Garfield, heads Of the food and fueL business. In conse-
mlence practically all those in charge Of the war activities
in Oregon, Hauser, Aver, Newell, Plummer, and an army
of others are republicans While President Wilson
selected his boards and department chiefs from both
parties. his appointees Hoover, ct al, made sure that only
republicans were placed on guard in states like Oregon.
In fact the president has carried non-partisanship so far
that he could do no more unless it were to resign and
turn the entire government over to the g. o. p. This
conduct of the war is in marked contrast with the way
the Spa~nish-American affair was prosecuted when
partisanship was carried even into the ranks of the army
and a democrat was allowed no privilege except to carry
a rifle in the ranks as a private.
Governor Withycombe, lauded by the Oregonian as a
great war governor, has even set a new standard OF
craftsmanship. He has during his term allowed no demo
crat, not protected by legal enactment, to hold even a job
as common laborer around the state institutions, much less
an official position, has made the state fair board a
political machine and pressed the limit of the law on all
state boards in the interest of partisanship. At the same
time the governor has announced that he has no objec-
tions to alien enemies holding positions under the state
and drawing pay from the public treasury providing they
do not actually commit any overt act against the govern
ment.
Does the Oregonian endorse the Withycombe brand OF
partisanship and the limit to which he carries it?

THE REALMS

We believe it was the poet SAKE who made the caustc
received from those who have passed into the beyond:
GIVE us some token of your heavenly birth,
Write as good English as you wrote on earth"
Ouiia boards, planchette and even the spiritual trance
mediums have all given the world information as to hap
penings in The realms which the spirit inhabits after
death, but somehow they are far from satisfactory to any
but the most rabid fanatics. Such communications one and
all Justify the comment above that "the spirits progress
is from bad to worse" There have been a few cases where
those who have been in the realms beyond have returned,
but in none Of them have there been any intimation as to
what was found on the other side.
What q story Lazarus for instance might have told,
and yet sacred history has nothing concerning him other
than the fact that he came back, In view of what the past
has done it is fair to presume the future will remain as
silent, and that each for himself must learn what is to
come after U.s."

Organized labor is making a strenuous effort to save
Mooney from the gallows. While his innocence is far
from established, it is evident that events arising subse-
quent to his conviction, the showing made as to the con-
duct of some of the witnesses against him, and the alleged
bribery of some of these should entitle him to a new trial
at least. The attorney general of California denounced
the trial as a fragrant conspiracy and asked the supreme
court to revoke its decision. President Wilson has asked
that clemency be extended. This however, does not seem
have a new trial and if innocent should be acquitted. If
guilty he should be punished. He is entitued to have his
name cleared of all faint if innocent, and if guilty the
public is entitled to have him punished as the crime
deserves.

For JUSTICE of the PEACE
FRANK DAVEY

I am asking the republican nominal
ton for justice of the peace of the
Salem district because I believe my
self thoroughly equipped to give the
best possible service in that important
position. I came to Salem in 1887, ove
thirty seven years ago, and in every
movement since for the betterment of
the city and all it's enterprises, for
The development and settlement of the
state, for the safety and support of
the nation. I have taken a somewhat
prominent part with hand and tongue
and pen. My life is known to all who
have lived here q dozen years or more.
and I trust to their verdict. I am a
lawyer by education and have been in
close touch for thirty eight years with
courts, even to the highest jurisdiction,
I know the work of a Justice office
thoroughly. I have not an enemy in
the world to punish and I know of no
friend who would ask reward at the
expense of Justice. Respect for law
and its enforcement without malice,
revenge or oppression is inherent in
me and has been intensified by my ex-
tensive experience in making laws,
hence the public knows what to ex-
peet from me. 1 owe the people Of Sa-
dem and vicinity for many friendships.
/ expect to repay them by honest, faith
full service at all times.

The Woman Who Changed

By Jane Phelps

+ "Won't it make an odd number2"
"No, gcosiel L won't let it," and
forthwith she began to name over diff
ferent young men she thought she could
invite to take Georges place.
Before she left she had decided up
en- Van Dyke Lawrence, a young man
whom she described as being particu-
larly desirable as ! guest.
"He is very popular however, and
perhaps 1 can't get him"
"Have you invited Merton Gray9"
I asked.
"My no! he'd never comet why he's
one of the most sought after men in
town. Do you know him wellg''
"No, I met him at Mrs. Loring's
dinner. We got on famously, how
ever. I liked him so much. He was
so like the boys at home"
"Im just call him up from here if
you will let me. IF / am fortunate
enough to get him I shall tell him he is
to take your husbands place. Though
1 DOM believe for a minute he come
to my little party"
"Try him and see," I said, some
way sure that he would accept.
Gan right, here goes,' and she
called Mr.. Gray's studio. He was in,
and | stood by while she gave the
message. Although 1 listened 1 could
not catch what he said. but 1 dis
tinctly recognized his voice.

Bismuth.
Bismuth, the Swedish spaniel, was
alone in the house.
He yawned, stretched, stretched yawn-
ed and wandered into the parlor, where,
reaching up his damp healthy nose, he
idly traced a figure 8 ON the pane on the
left hand window. Then ambling over
to the right hand window, he drew three
little circles.
"Wish 1 had a bone" he thought, eff
it had a little meat on one end, so much
the better.
And he wandered upstairs to the
second story front room and rubbed his
nose against the pane of the right hand
window until he had hade three straight
lines with a cute little dot at the end of
each.
81 know where a bone s buried, if L
could get out in the yard" he thought,
as he made a cross with his nose on the
left hand pane.
Sitting down on the floor, he scratch
ed himself-just to keep his paw i'll prac
tice, as summer was still quite a ways
off. Then he strolled up into the third
story front room and hade a half moon
on the right hand pane and a question
mark ON the left hand pane.
"Wish they'd get me a dog to play
WITH he thought ~yawning.

At $3.50 Mrs. Tuskers, who had spent
the entire preceding day washing the
windows in the front of the house,
came along.
AT 4:35, with a peculiar light in her
eyes she began looking for Bismuth.

Uncle Sam is charging the allies a little more for the

1t did not take the jury long to reach a verdict in the
trial of Oscar Main accused of the murder of his friend,
Fred Swayne. It would seem that someone made an
e~gregious blunder in making the accusation, for the trial
showed there was absolutely nothing on which to base
even a suspicion that he was the guilty person. Not one
of the contentious of the prosecution was sustained by
the evidence.

BERGER, AMERICAN BOLSHEVIKI LEADER

Former Congressman Berger, German socialist, is
trying to do to the United States what Lenine and Trot-
lsky, also German socialists, have done to Russia. Berger
and his associates have a more difficult job to perform be-
cause Of the greater intelligence of the American people
most of whom can see through the transparent trick.
Berger has the audacity to announce himself a candi-
date for senator from Wisconsin and the principal plank
in his platform is a demand for the withdrawal Of Amer
lean troops from Europe. This is precisely what Trosky
did in Russia; he announced that the nation was out of the
war and disbanded the army Then the Germans marched
in, practically unOpposed, and took possession of the cOun-
try.
Berger has been indicted, and he processes to be sur
prised to learn that this free country will not allow him
to work for his native land and the kaiser without
hindrance. AS a matter of fact he is an arbitrator and
ought to be shot. He knows this as well as anybody but
presumes on the tolerance Of the American people and
the literally of our laws to press his shemes to the limit.
Berger may not get what he deserves at this time, but
if the war continues a year or two longer he and all those
t~raitorous socialists, l. WV. and foreign agitators who
have found an asylum in this country, will feel the weight
of the mailed fist of an aroused Americanism. The toler-
ance of our people is being strained to the breaking point.

While the best location in the world for seeing the total
eclipse of the sun which is billed for 3 o'clock in the after
noon of June 8, is said to be about La Grande or on that
meridian, it should be remembered that the eclipse will
be total here and that the Willamette valley is one of the
favored sections for the notable event. The eclipse will
last for nearly two minutes, and once over will not
respond to an encore, so those DESTROYS of seeing it should
have their telescopes and smoked glasses ready and get a
good seat in plenty of time in advance. Astronomers say
it will be some 300 years before another eclipse will be
visible from the same location, or at least that long before
another so perfect a one will be due.
