THE SOLDIERS TRANSITION.

1t is hard for the soldier at BEST to make the tran
sition from army life back to civilian fefrom military
duties to an industrial commercial job And apparent
y Uncle Sam whom he served faithfully has not been
doing any much toward making easier for him. The
assistant of the federal employment SER
vice writes in the United States Employment Service Bull
letin:
"The soldiers let 60 are being mustered out on few
days notice. with advance of pay given in money the
cost of transportation to their homes free to buy tickets
wherever they please Already they turning up in
the Cities improvident broke, away from home, without
work. applicants for civilian relief Many of them don't
want work yet Many others unwilling to undertake
the day5abor jobs, which alone they find There is
every prospect that unless remedial measures prompt
y taken the sight of stranded voorhees, moneyess sol
iders will be common throughout the land"
Certainly this is wrong. 1t is unfair to the men and
dangerous to the community The federal labor bureau
does what it can to find jobs for the soldiers when they
get back home but cannot find jobs for all Of them and
only too many get into serious difficulty after reaching
home, or even on the way home.
1t seems as if the country which those served so
faithfully ought to be able to look after them ef
fectivey during this period else turn them loose with
a little extra pay to tide them over

We would suggest that one reason why Pacific High
way paving costs than paving such county roads
that leading from this city to Siverton is that it
is of far better quality The Salem-Silverton road
looks if it would last about two years before it will be
necessary to rebuild it. Of course the county should
build good roads cheaper than the state does because it
has it's paving plant and eliminates contractors pro
fits and much overhead expense Why the state highway
commission does not do it's work probably because
would cost vast to acquire the plants and property
necessary to carry the work large scale in twenty
different parts Of the state at Possibly it might
pay the state at that to spend million dollars
for equipment in order to lay pavement the roads at
COST just the county does They could not do it
cheaply as Marion county is doing the work. however
the state highway work is of much higher standard
and will probably prove cheaper in the long than roads
of the SalemSiyerton type In other places the
county seems to have done excellent work.

LIVE STOCK PRODUCTION

One speaker at the live stock convention at Denver
the other day told his audience that one Of the most i'm
portant things to be considered was that Of deyising
means for the limitation Of production, in order that
prices might be maintained. Another, on the following
dag, took issue with this policy, and urged that produc-
ton be increased to a point where the price of meat
would not be out of the reach Of the ordinary family.
The latter speaker has decidedly the better theory.
There has been a great deal Of discussion of late. not
30 much Of the prices of meat and meat animals a OF
methods of handling the meat trade, methods which are
denounced on the one hand and defended on the other
Leaving aside all controversy as to methods the fact re-
mains that. not only are retail prices Of meats higher
than they have been at any other time in this genera
ton. but that the prices received by producers for their
live animals are higher than at any other time these
thirty years. and that the latter prices have advanced
at least proportionately with the former.
No involved argument is required in support Of this
All that is necessary is a comparison Of prices
which are matters Of record. With a basic price OF
$3.50 per hundredweisht for live hogs fixed by govern.
ment order, and with cattle prices running even higher,
1T Is easy to understand why mAt has been banished
from thousands of American tables, and why' in every
family except the very wealthy or the very reckless the
consumption Of meat has been cut to a fraction Of wha,
Il was just q few years ago. To say that In the past VI
Nave eaten too much meat for our health is no arxu.
! ment. We have lessened our consumption, not from
1 reasons Of health. but from considerations Of price.
That the prices Of meat animals and their produeu
will reach anything like the low level that prevailed il
the early nineties. for instance. Is neither probable no,
desirable. But the country does need . greater produc
ton u this line. and the lower prices which will AGAR
place meat among the stapdard foods rather than anon,

CHAMP CLARK STILL SULKlNG

Champ Clark was a candidate for the Democratic
presidential election when woodrow Wilson was noni-
mated. He had a large following in the convention, and
for a time the issue as between these two candidates was
in doubt. Wilson was nominated. and Clark. in spite Of
the fact that he is a man of a good deal Of ability in GER
tain lines, went into a fit of sulks. from which. apparent
", he has not entirely emerged. Witness MIR. Clark'
statement in a debate in the house on Wednesday that
After we licked the Germans for them tthe Belsians
and French) they surely can police Europe themselves"
Suppose Clark had been elected president instead of
Wilson. Would we have gone to war? In his position as
a member of congress Clark opposed the war. While
innocent human beings were being ~butchered on land and
sea. while American ships were being sunk and Ameri-
can passengers on commercial vessels were destroyed
without warning. while the United States was filled with
German agents plotting and carrying out plots for the
destruction Of American lives and properly right in our
home territory. Nr. Clark continued to act on the as
sumption that the war was q squabble among European
nations. with which we had no concern. Is it conceiv-
able that II he had been president, with the weight OF
responsibility resting on him as the chief executive and
leader of the nation. he would still have maintained that
selfish, narrow, cowardly attitude? Strange things hap
pen
And If he had been president, and the responsibility
resting on him had sobered and steadied him, and un-
der his guidance and recommendation we had gone to
war, would he at this time, would he now fling insults
IN the races OF our associates IN a war Tor humanity, VINO
had fought nobly for us, as truly as we fought for them ?
Would Mr.. Clark be talking about how we licked the
Germans for those who fought as brayely, and suffered
as courageously, and died as devotedly as human beings
have ever done in the history of the world? Or would
he. as head Of the nation. give full. and generous credit
to all who have stood shoulder to shoulder with us, and
stand firmly with them still in the making of such further
effort as may be needed to place the affairs Of the world
on a new and better basis' 1t would be interesting to
know.

SPARlNG GERMANY

Former Chancellor Bethmann- Hollweg Of Germany
adds his voice to the other voices that have been raised
on behalf Of kindly treatment for the unfortunate Ger
man nation. All Of those who have been expressing
themselves on this subject from the German standpoint
have insisted that by no means must the Germans be ex-
plotted, and the inference that one might draw from
many of the statements is that the proper course Tor
the present peace conference to pursue would be to ap-
portion among the nations which it represents all the
cost of. the war and of rehabilitation. including Ger
manys own, and to pass around the hat and take up a
collection for the Germans in order to prevent them
from dropping into such a state Of Indulgence mat they
will be forced to take, up the profession OF highway rod
berry to keep the wolf from the door.
Inasmuch as these appeals for mercy and generosity
are calculated to influence a certain fragment of public
opinion here and among the Entente countries Of Eu-
rope. it is well occasionally to emphasize the other side
Of the situation, and to point out that Germany is not
to be dealt with as a poor unfortunate, but as a despor-
ate criminal who. while permitted to live. is to be re-
quired to make sufficient reparation for crimes com.
n,itted and other crimes planned to insure the creation
of a very clear and definite impression on the German
mind with reference to the wages of sin.
That being understood. and it being agreed that no
excess of sentimentalitS is to be permitted to sway the
nations from that which is at once their interest and
their duty, the rest is comparatively simple. The rest
of the world being more humane and decent than the
Germans have shown themselves to be. there will be no
determination of the German people. Civilization cannot
descend to anything of that sort The Germans being
permitted to live, they will be permitted to live under
such conditions that, if they themselves are spiritually
equal to the task, they can re-create themselves into 4
free nation, respected and self-respecting, with the op-
portunity before them to develop morally. intellectually
and materially. But one of the conditions Of their prog
ree. even Of their very existence. must be that they
shall sweat under a part Of the load they have sought to
place on others.
