State Council
OF Defense Is
Thing Of Past

Acting on a suggestion of William
F. Woodward of Portland, Governor
Olcott Wednesday dissolved the state
council of defense, of which Mr..
woodward was chairman.
In his letter to Mr.. Woodward dis
solving the body the governor said:
"In acknowledgment of your let
ter of June 25, in which you advise
me that the state council of defense
has completed the task imposed up
on it by the great world war, con-
slider that the members of that coun-
Gil may now be relieved from their
arduous duties and that the council
may caese to function.
"In advising you in this regard it
gives me extreme pleasure to COM
pliment yourself and each and every
member Of the state council of de-
tense. upon the remarkable manner
in which your work was done. The
task you were set to do was one OF
extreme importance, involving as 1t
did, practically every phase Of war
work in the state. This
work was, know. attended at many
times with difficulties, some of them
seemingly insurmountable. but, re-

when the clock strikes the late hours
it is true that there are but 42,515
of us left in Salem. But we know
that in the coming years. when the
city is rebuilt in it's entirety, the
population figures will go up. We
are satisfied now that the trouble is
rather in our berth" rate than in
our birth" rate.
On this wonderful North Shore we
see daily the number plates of Maine
and California, of Oregon and Flori-
da. Possibly there are no, Salems in
these States; at least we do not know
there are without some study of re-
cent maps. When men make money
where it seems that the more judi
cious of them know where to spend
it upon the most satisfactory enjoy
ment. We may have sur-hanged the
witches in 1892. but we feel no more
guilty than the other Salems. They
may not be guiltless. How do we
know what was going on out in the
woods in those unknown years on
the very spots now decorated with
our namesakes?
We have been through fire, war
and pestilence and the ranks hold
firm. 1t will not matter how many
Salems there are. We are the Salem.
We are the Ali Baba Of the forty one

Lenine Trying to
Unite Socialism
With Capitalism,

Toxic, June 81 By Mail.-Nikalo.
Lenine, Soviet Premier of Russia,
asserts that the most important prob
lem confronting the Soviet govern
ment today is how to harmonize
capitalism and socialism. He made
that statement in an interview in
Moscow with the correspondent of
the Nichi-Nichi The correspondent
quotes him as saying.
For that purpose, the Soviet drew
up a special understanding which
was made public in America some
time ago. Some of the Powers mis-
took the concessions made as a sign
of weakness and dispatched expedi-
tionary forces to Russia. The result
was a complete failure on their part,
financially, miliarily and morally"
He admitted that there were yet
many difficulties to be overcome be-
fore the Soviet government was es-
tablished on a solid basis. but he
believed that the hardest portion of
the work had been already accom-
plished.
1T took Russia" he said, mo few
er than 80 years to pass from feudal-
ism to capitalism. There is nothing
extraordinary in that. Old systems
may be overthrown in a day but it
takes long period to erect a new
one. In fact, the longer period in
volved, the surer will be the basis
of reconstruction.
''The development of state" Len
Inc declared, depends very much
upon the education of the rising gen .
GRAFTON and it is the policy of the
attention to the training of the
Russian Soviet to pay every possible
youthful mind"
'In regard to the economic pros
poets of new Russia that is being
constructed, we believe that efforts
should be directed first of all to the
destruction of the position of land
owners in Poland. his is an essen
tial preliminary to the establishment
of permanent peace and therefore,
to the improvement of economic con-
ditions.''

ers and more important than all, he
would provide his game with food
and even shelter on the few desper-
ate occasions in the winter when they
die in enormous numbers from star

The farmer would soon find that
his ownership of the increasing game
in his land meant not only better
table for himself but money in his
pocket He or his boys would begin
to breed game in large numbers to
sell to the townspeople.
Briefly, this whole movement is
intended to restock the country with
game birds. There seems to be no

would increase their numbers

The Convention of 1872.

The democratic national convention
of 1872, which assembled in Baltimore
on July q was perhaps the most unique
gathering of its sort in the whole
storv of the democratic party. Horace
Greeley. editor of the New York Tri-
hune was nominated for president Oh
single ballot, in spite Of the fact that
for quarter of century or more he
had been the party's most vigorous
and persistent critic and assailant.
This action resulted from a desire
to mite with so-called liberal repub-
cans" representing partisan factions
which were dissatisfied with President
Grants first term for variety of rea-
sons. These liberal republicans" in
previous convention at Cincinnati,
nominated Greeley on the sixth ballot
after close contest between this stur-
dy. old New York journalist and
Charles Francis Adams of Massachu-
setts who if successful, would have
been the third generation of his family
to enter the White House,.
When the democrats assembled IN
Baltimore, they had this Cincinnati ac-
ton of the liberal republicans for a
guide post, and they followed it-from
first to last-with fidelity. Thomas
Jefferson Randolph of Virginia was
temporary chairman. Senator James
R. Doolittle of Wisconsin was perma-
nent chairman. Greeley was nomi-
mated for president on a single ballot
with 6S6 votes, his only contenders be-
ing Jeremiah S. Black of Pennsylvania
with Il votes Thomas +. Bayard of
Delaware with 16 votes, and William
s. Groesbeck of Ohio with 2 votes.
For vice-president, B. Gartz Brown
of Missouri previously nominated by
the liberal repubicans") was similar
ly elevated on single roll-call, with
the only dssension centering around
John W. Stephenson of Kentucky.
The convention even took the Gin
clnnati PLATFORM, including plank
which straddled the tariff question and
refused an endorsement of fre trade.
It's acceptance was strongly opposed
by Senator Bayard of Delaware. but
the vote in favor of it was $40 to So.
The result Of the convention Great
ed general democratic dissatisfaction,
and an effort to nominate a straight
democratic ticket" eliminated at
Louisville on September 3, 1872, in the
nomination of Charles O'Connor of
New York previously nominated by
Inc Labor Reform Party'D for presi-
oent and John Quincy Adams of Mas
sachusetts for president.
But this latter ticket was never reg
lsered in the electoral college at all.
Grant was reelected. Greeley died a
lew days after the election and the
uemocratic electors scattered their
votes without serious attempt at con-
eenlration. The leaders were Thomas
A. Hendricks of Indiana (52) and F.
oiatz Brown of Missouri (1S). Three
1eorgia electors tried still to vote for
ereeley, but congress rejected thesr
ballots.

Who Prolonged the War?

The revelations which the Paris
"Matin" is permitted to make Of
the activities of Alfonso Of Spain
show how close the world was to a
victorious peace early in 1917. Aus
tria-Hungary was ready to make
separate peace, which would have
compelled Germany to submit.
The Spanish King is Hapsburg
and wished to save his cousins of
Vienna. We may be sure that he
would not have talked to a French
representative as he did unless he
had been confdentially authorized
so to do. About the same time, as is
now known, Austria Hungary made
approaches to Russia and sent mes
sages to the United States. An ex-
PLANTATION is at hand of why our
State Department illogically de-
ferred declaring war on Austria
Hungary. The plan of breaking up
the dual monarchy was adopted as
an alternative after the first one
came to naught..
Why did Austria Hungary back
out? Not, as suggested by the
"Matin," because the dispatch tell
ing of the conversation with the
Spanish King was lost in a Paris
taXicab, with strong probability
that before it's recovery a German
agent had read and copied it. 1t is
polite for the confdant of the
French Foreign Office to say this,
but its tongue is in it's cheek.
Austria Hungary backed out be-
cause of the Russian revolution,
which began in March, 1917, and be-
cause hopes Of victory were reborn
by knowledge of what the Bolshevist
crew were doing in the interest of
the Central Powers. The Russian
army was to be demoralized and
then Russia was to make a separate
peace, as she did. When Germany
brought Lenine from Switzerland to
Russia and furnished him funds for
his work it was her most success
full maneuver. 1t almost won the
war for her. 1t brought Austria
Hungary back into line and it re-
leased more than million German
soldiers for service in France. AS it
was, the Bolshevists were respon-
sible for nearly two years more of
conflict and slaughtered more than
million soldiers of the Allies as d.
rectly as if they had faced Boil
shevist firing squads.

The Cruelty of the Fanatic

The conviction of the CHICAGO
Communists is giving rise among
our radicals and intellectuals to the
same old sloppy sentences about pun
lshing men for their political beliefs.
Of course, the first symptom Of
this point of view is the denial Of
any criminal wrongdoing whatever.
The Communists are simply seeking
political reform, and so on But the
Chicago Communists by talking too
frankly in public made it perfectly
plain that they aimed at the organi-
cation of secret machinery by which
at a given signal groups of armed
men could seize the government and
set up soviets.
But even conceding that the acts
OF the Communists were criminal.
runs the intellectual argument, they
didn't really mean to be naughty:
they shouldn't be regarded as moral
~ culpable. They were only few
erratic, harmless souls, and to pun
ish them would stir up lot Of SYM
pathy and exhibit the nation as a
cruel, heartless monster.
To such soft-minded souls we COM
mend an article in the current cat
lantic Monthly" written by former
criminal and convict in reply to
Frank Tannenbaum's recent diatribe
against "prison cruelty" This writer
believes in prison reform and does
not deny that much cruelty still ex-
lists in our prisons. But he asserts,
from a knowledge of his own atti-
tude as criminal, that most of this
so-called cruelty is necessary and
deserved discipline.
There is real danger that all
prison reform, work of admirable
design and noble effort, may be Sc
rlously set back by precisely this
KIND OF ignorance, by the exagger
~~ AANPNo Va oQuCdIHlSn roIOrmGrS
to whom the whole attitude of GRIM
lnality is, as this writer says, Gun
real" A precisely similar point of
view shows itself in the critics of
the Chicago convictions. In the
vague, cloudy mind% of these radicals
the fanatical plans of these Com.
munists mean nothing more than
graceful words. The reality of muir
der, civil war, destruction that is
threatened and that feeds the mag
nations of such revolutionaries is
only figure Of speech to such intel
lectuals-a threat of fascinating red
ness in which they occasionally battle
their own souls with delicious
SILVER.
The Communist who actively plots
to revolt, to assemble weapons. to
kill and seize, is not a harmless
fanatic. He bears no slightest rela-
ton to the theoretical anarchist, for

Miller and Smith

TO support Nathan L. Miller for
the Governorship it is not necessary
to disparage Governor Smith. Re-
publicans concede the Governors
merits, both as a man and a candi-
date--freely acknowledge that he is
not an easy man to defeat.
The campaign calls for no mud
singing or belittlement. Let the
Governor throw the weight of his in
tiuence toward keeping the scandal
izers of his party quiet and let Re-
publicans do their best to discounte
nance personal attacks by their
scandalizers.
Both candidates are able, upright
and patriotic citizens. Both are
from the proletariat-both made
their way upward. Both have had
what we proudly call typically Amer
lean careers. If Mr.. Miller has a
wider culture and broader informa-
ton, Governor Smith has had his
faculties sharpened in the university
of practical life. Whichever one is
chosen, New York will have as Chief
Executive man sincerely DESTROYS
of serving the public we'll.
The only definite advantage pos
sessed by Mr.. Miller is in the char
acter of his support. He is the can
didate Of the Republican party,
which, in spite of all the bedevil-
ments to which it has been subjected
by the intrusion into it's counsels of
men like Barnes, is still in the main
true to the traditions of Lincoln and
Roosevelt-has been and still is the
states chief militant force for good
government.
On the other hand, Governor
Smith is enveloped by Tammany and
the Tammany spirit. He is COM
PEELED to work with and rely upon
this ancient organization, whose
ooor IS not improved by the passage
of time. If his reelection should
occur and at the same time a Tam,
many-controlled Legislature should
be chosen he could not resist the on
set. What happened to poor Sulzer
when he tried to be true to his oath
of office? Then Governor Smith did
not think himself able to break with
the organization. A reason why the
Smith administration has been good
is because it had the good luck to
share power with Republican legis-
latures.
Balancing one good candidate
against another good candidate, the
issue the voter faces is over which
party is the more deserving OF trust,
and hence Of support.
