CHANGE IN VALUES.

CHANGE in values is the cause of the world unrest ac

on tho hubject as follows:
Men are granted nominal rises in wages which for the
moment see INTO satisfy them They soon find however
tha these increases In pay useless As the price of
their abor rises rises the price of almost all the thngs
the aborer uses The world of labor learning the great
lesson that is not by the nominal amount of wages that
1t can benefit What want is not rise in money but
rise the amount Of food they can obtain for them
selves and for their families in the number of pairs of
boots and suits OF clothes procurabe for them in the wear
rlSe IN TACT IN the amount of all the material things
they need for livelihood and enjoyment for health and
happiness.
The diversion of h1man energy from the supply of
the things mankind needs to pure destruction compelled
resort to borrowing, to paper money and to high tax
aton and this, coupled with low production and the
necessary increased demand which goes with an unsettled
state OF society," has altered and upset all values Hence
universal unrest Worst of ALL this upsettng of values i'm

FRUITS OF REJECTION.

THE first fruits of Senator Lodges action in blocking
the peace treaty is seen in Germanys refusal to sign
the protocol providing for the carrying out of the peace
terms accepted which may force allied armies to in
wade Germany to compel that nation live up to its agree
men Germany only respects force and is entirely lack
ing in sense of morality.
The refusal of America to ratfy peace has awaken

who favor the same program.
Prompt ratification of the peace treaty by the senate
is the only hope for avertng another war in the imme

Has Salem forgotten its charge?
Two months ago an important prob
lem, a problem that has all to do with
the future of the city, was in the mind
of every citizen. Whether the city was
to be sacrificed on the altar of indtf-
ference; or whether its citizens were
going to erect enough homes to ac-
commodate the growing influx OF peo-
pie, seeking to make this their future
abode, was being discussed on all
sides
Today the issue lies dormant, The
excitement of the moment seems to
have passed. The question of building
homes and making Salem the most
popular mecca in all the west for inn
migrants apparently is forgotten.
Several individuals prepared to
erect pretentious mansions on the best
sites in the city. None of these are be-
ing built
For two days the city recorder did
a peanut merchants business issuing
permits to build homes, Some Is cit
izens secured the sanction of the city
