THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL
THE WORD OF HOPE.

No more hopeful word has been spoken since the
SIGNING of the armstice than that of President Wilson
to the American troops Christmas day. when referring
to the chat of peace that has been the privilege OF
America to offer to the world
"Now the process Of settlement has been rendered
comparatively simple by the fact that all the nations con-
cerned have accepted the chart and the application OF
those principles laid down there will be their application
"Ihe world will now know that the nations that
fought this war; as well the soldiers who represented
them, are ready to make goodmake good not only In
The assertion Of their interests but make good IN the
establishment of peace upon the permanent foundation
Of right and justice"
twas message worthy of the day.
Until within few days. there was ground for lear
that the vast war sacrifices had been thrown awaythat
the world could expect little more than return TO tne
old perious system Of rival armament out OF which TINS
war grew But change has the spirit OF the
men who will determine the policies of the great peace
conference. 4
There are things in the cabed correspondence OF the
newspaper representatives to indicate that Premle
Clemenceau will strike dscordent note, but President
Wilson told the American people, through message to
Vice President Marshall yesterday, that everything was
being harmoniousy arranged.
The people have given clear mandate to their gov
emments And when the men in charge OF the govern"
ments once become convinced that the thing rachcabe
It straiphtway becomes So federation of the nations
to preserve peace will doubt be of the oucomes OF
tohe peace conference and the most important OF It's de-
csions.

Brian think so--it might do good. she
thought, as she, remembered, with just
touch of bitterness, that Brian had
spent that last hour with Mollie King
But she could notlong feel bitter with
his letter before her--the nearest a
love letter he had written since their
marriage. The letters she had received
when away on her business trips, had
never been more than cold little notes,
breathing in every line his disapproval.
And since he had been overseas, the
few he had sent her had been filled with
talk Of war, the strange country, and
Mollie King. Finally, with little
twisted smile, she resumed her reading:
~ shall fight all the better, all the
harder, because of him. The sooner the
Huns are downed, the sooner can l come
back and make his acquaintance. So
you may be sure / shall go cunning

meaning of thrift.
We have found that, contrary to the
theory of many before the war, thrift
does not mean money boarding or
miserliness or undue selfshness. On
the contrary we have learned that il
Is constructive and upbuilding, and,
for this reason, We find 1t advantage

CHAPTER CXXVI

CHAPIEh CAhNl
What Brian had said in his letter
about Mollie King made no impression
on Ruth-at the time There was sin
lister meaning, to her, in the message
concerning his chum. 1t was ominous
or seemed so to her, that he should
say he had made arrangements for her
to know in case he was hurt Perhaps he
had already been wounded, she thought
and the letter was simply to prepare
her.
She smiled as she read again his re-
quest for chocolate, and then frowned
Il. she re-read the part referring to
Mollio King (this time more carefully.
Brian surely praised her unstintedly-
well, perhaps she deserved it, But down
in her heart was the unspoken wish that
Brian and Molie weren't where they
could see each other.
He had said he was 0. X, and loving
her. That part of his letter gave her
joy, although she mistrusted his go.
k" But that he said he was loving
her, thrilled her and she pressed her
lips to the words, as she murmured her
love for him.
Then, after day or two of anxious
waiting, came another letter. The reply
to the one she had written telling of
her boy-their son.
Once more her hands tremblcd as she
opened the envelope in her haste; once
more her eyes dimmed as she read;
yet this time with happy tears. Brian
had written:

innocent LOOKING
TRUNK FIGURES IN
BOOTLECC|NC CASE

A bootlegging case of rather large
proportions doomed up this morning In
the sheriff's office, and by noon two
of the men implicated had pleaded
guilty and were each given fine OF
$50 by Judge Webster. An innocent
looking trunk that had been making
several trips from the south to Salem
also figured in the case.
This morning before justice of the
peace D. Webster, search warrants were
sworn out against Howard Hulsey, j..
II. Cook and Jack McGratb. At the
same time warrants were sworn out
against Walter D. Gardner, Fl. N.
Dowd, V. L. Tyler and J. 3. MaddisonS
charged with unlawfully having liquor
in their POSSESSION.
This morning Mr.. Dowd and MI
Madison appeared before the court
with plea of guilty and were given
the $50 fine each.
The story of the latest attempt at
bootlegging in Salem is about as fol
| lows:
Are Express Drivers
Mr.. Gardner, Mr.. Tyler and AIR.
Dowd are messengers OF express driv-
ers for the express companies here. Mr.
Cook is signal man at the Southern
Pacific depot and Howard Hulsey is
baggage man at the depot.
The truck that had been making SC
many innocent trips back and forth
seems to have attracted their atten
tion. Anyhow, when it arrived about
Dee. |, it was taken out to the home
Of Howard Hulsey and later moved
/ to the home of Mr.. Madison, next
door. As far as can now be learned
one case of linor out of the trunk has
already been sold for $l0O. The money
was given to Dowd but it is understood
that Madison, acting as q go'between
only got $40 for the handling.
1t is thought that the trunk original
Ily contained 70 quarts of whiskey bu
when the sheriff got busy with MI
search warrants, only 30 quarts wer'
found.

NO Discrepancy Says Paper

London, Jan. 2,-There is no funda-
mental discrepancy between the aims
of President Wilson and Premier
Clemenceau, the London Times declar-
ed today in an article on Wilson's con-
demnation of the balance of power
idea and Clemenceau support of it.
This newspaper announces a belief
that both statesmen are working to
the same ends but from different an
giles. Wilson is regarded as being most
intent on bringing permanent peace to
the world, while Clemenceau "does
not repudiate that hope" but is first
determined to insure the future safety
and peace of France by proposing a
"league of great democracics.
The Times does not overlook the
fact that Clemenceau called this league
the "balance of power, but it ex
plains "the name is a small matter

COTTON ASSOCIATION
MAKING LAST DRIVE

Columbia, Oct, GA final effort
to enroll members of the South Carl.
lima Cotton Association all of the
formers, merchants, bankers and pro-
fessional men, who have not yet
joined, will be made during the next
four weeks, according to an an
nouncement made Monday from state
headquarters in this city.
In some sections of the state the
membership campaign has been a
wonderful success, says a statement
by the association. In others the cam
paign has not been as successful as
the officers desired.
j. Skottowe Wannamaker, presi-
dent of the association, has issued this
appeal to the people of the state.
If you are satisfied to accept Is
and 20 cents pound for YOUR cotton
you need not join the South Carolina
Cotton Association. If, however, you
feel that you are entitled to a
living profit from it and that if you
are to educate your children and keep
your family provided with the COM
forts of life it will be necessary for
you to get 40 or as cents pound for
it, let me urge you to join the asso-
citation.
"If the cotton farmer will organ
ize he can demand a fair price for his
cotton. The fruit growers organized
and they are getting living price for
their poduct. The. grain growers or
ganized and they are now securing
living price for their product. The cot
ton farmers can demand living price
for their product if they will organ
ize.
The prosperity of the whole south
is dependent upon the cotton farmers.
If cotton brings good price the
South prospers. If the price is low
and the farmers have no money the
South suffers. The banker, the mer-
chant and the business men depend
upon the farmer for their living.
That is why they should join the asso-
citation.
Reports from over the belt indi-
cate that the other states of the cot
ton belt are organizing strongly. l.
do hope South Carolina will keep with
them. want to make this final ap-
peal to the people of my state to join
the association. The returns will
be great"
