THE REAL INVESTOR.

1t seems hardly possible that there will be anyone
who could subscribe to the Victory loan who will not do
The terms and interest most attractive things
moving along at rate which increasing value
for investment and last but not least work is not yet
done.
Should there be Victory Stacker however, who
needs word there could hardly be better argument
than the speech of Admiral SIMS who addressed loan
meeting in New York at the opening of the campaign.
Speaking of the who died in service the admiral
said:
These men lent their lives to the government at zero
per cent and lost their capital Will the people at home
decline to risk their money at 34 per cent with risk
of lOss?"
Such plea puts it up to us in a way which admits of
only one answer, and money talks.
Elihu Root has undoubtedly given up all his presden
ta aspirations He has become attorney for the national
brewing interests.
Italy may be mad enough to cut off our supply Of
organ grinders, spaghetti and opera singers
Building operations now getting under way in Salem
give indications of marked activity before the year is over
Buy it at home next week--and every other week.

STANDING FOR A PRINCIPLE.

The United States won the war against Germany
That is plain statement of fact and when we modi-
fly only do it for the purpose of being polite and cOur
teous to European Allies But for this country Ger
many would now be formulating the terms upon which
conqueror willing to restore peace The Entente Al
lianc defeated when Russia collapsed and only the
American army saved Paris and the channel ports and
prevented the Invasion of England History must record
these facts.
1t is very important then at this time to recall the
terms upon which the European nations accepted an al
lance with us. They plain and unmistakabe. The
United States through President Wilson, announced that
not to be war of conquest but one to enforce per-
anent peace and the safety of democratic government
We asked financial territorial gain and were will
ing to accord to European Allies only such indemnity
and acquisitions of territory would recOmpense them
for the cost of the war; far the sares of soch
conflict may be recOmpenSed in a material way. The
permanent treaty of peace the president plainly stated
must take into consideration the rights Of the peoples
their language and their traditional inclinatOns when
Europe was re-mapped at the peace conference.
If the Entente Alliance did not wish the assistance of
the United States the terms laid down by the presi
dent and endorsed by the people of this country they
should have said sO at the time If the socaed treaty
of London stood in the way that was the time to have
said They should not seek to force to break
faith with the world by consentng to peace based on
conquest and might, and therefore, menacing future
peace instead of guaranteeing it.
President Wilson no doubt fOresaw what would hap
pen the peace table and that is why he attended the
conference personally He knew that his influence as
president of the United States would be greater than that
of any envoy to whom the authority might be delegated
He is fighting for the principles for which many brave
young Americans died. and not only in this country but
throughout the world all lovers of truth and justice are
backing him with their moral support.

FULLERTON LEARNS
BY HARD EXPERIENCE
Local NimrOd Appraised Of
Value Of Preparedness On
Fishing Trip.

Next time P. E. Fullerton goes on
fishing excursion with a party of
friends he win probably take the pre-
caution to see that code of signals or
long-distanee reading characters or
hyeroglyphics is adopted in the EVEN
one of the party desires to impart a
message to the others by way of guild
anee OF information. His experience of
his most recent piscatorial pilgrimage
has evolved the wisdom of this pre-
cautionary preparation.
Recently Mr.. Fullerton and a party of
friends went on fishing trip to
Agency Creek in YamhI county. Mr.
Fullerton and Elmer Daue paired off
and went about mile further up
stream than the other members Of the
party.lt is customary, when separated
on an occasion of this kind, when one
departs from the regularity Of the pro-
gram to leave a message along the
trail to appraise the companion Of his

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN


Editor of The Capital journal, Salem,
Or.
Dear Sir:-In referring to The Capt.
tai Journal of April 10, your society
editor thinks she has something new
under the sun to report and takes the
stand that the proverb s'There is moth
ing new under the sun is absolete and
that cone thing is certain - and that is
the author knowledge Of women was
pathetieslly limited. y
The quotation may be found in Ee-
elesiastes first chapter and ninth verse,
where solomon makes the assertion
"There is nothing new under the sun. ("
a little farther along in the Bible we
find in first Kings, eleventh chapter
and third verse that the writer had 700
wives and 800 eoncubines. One would
conclude he knew all he wanted TO know
about women.
The writer in The journal speaks of
the "Morning Dance INDUCED in by
the smart set as being something new
under the sun, but one would scarcely
think that Solomon Cor any man with
700 wives), would consider it a new
thing for idle, thoughtless women to
squander time by night as well as by
day.

Editor Capital Journal; Noticing in
your column of "COming Events" tnat
the Grand Lodge, l. o. o. F. OF oregon

May, and win be in session every dav

tunity to put a quietus on the erroneous
impression that still obtains IN svnie
of the more remote sections of the state,
that is that the capital city Of the state
is still very greatly troubled by
fmoss. "
When in southern Oregon several
years ago the writer of this article had
a conversation with man who had
lived in the Willamette valley for sew
eral years and was familiar with the
conditions existing here, especially in
the larger towns and cities, and he, Civ.
ing the names of the more important
cities of the valley, stated that they
were thriving, pushing prosperous cities
but he did not include Salem in that
list. When asked what is the matter
with Salem2 he replied, "Moss."
There are many districts in Oregon
whose people do not have easy access to
Salem and who remain to this day in
Ignorance of the fact that what might
have ben true at one time concerning
Salem is no longer true. Every citizen
of Salem knows that about fifteen
years ago Salem awOke, threw off the
lethargy oecasioned by sleeping under
the moss so long, and because she has
remained awake she has emerged into
one Of the most beautiful, attractive
and progressive citizen ON the Pacific
coast.
The meeting Of the Grand Lodge 1. 0.
o. +. soon to convene, means the com
ing here of 1900 to 2000 citizens Of the
state, who are fair representatives of
every locality, every business and every
condition. These men and women will
receive impressions which they will ear
ry back to their homes and disseminate
to the citizens of almost every neigh
borhood. 1t is the business of the citi-
zens Of Salem to see to it tnau ,no ~
port these representatives carry to their
home folks will be that they were cx-
ceedngy well plased with their visit,
and when they see their neighbors and
friends they will greet them thus: Say
you know that it has been commonly
reported that Salem is a bum town. |
wgut TO tell YOU that there is no truth
in it. Why ! was never - snl p4lrvd
In mv life I found the city TO be a
most beautiful place Its business men
and in fact all its citizens showed us
the greatest courtesy and entertained
us royalty. Everybody seemed TO be
practicing the principles of Odd Fellow

beneficial and legitimate propaganda
win be here during the session Of the
Grand lodge. Z.
