To the Editor:-
Wolf Creek, Or, Nov. is, 1921
Editor Capital Journal, Salem, Or
In your issue of The Capita
Journal Of Nov. 4, '21, you print
a list of the number OF slackers
in Oregon. l do not see what the
Journal can gain by printing the
names of these men the Legions
call slackers. 1t is three years
since the war closed, why keep on
agitating the country about the
slackers? All this agitation is
more or less in the way of bring
ing the country back to normal
cy. Not one of these men we call
slackers would have been a slack
er had there been an invasion or
even an attempted invasion of our
country. have long believed that
not one of our boys was sent over
oEurope to fight for the United
States, they were sent over there
to fight for England, France,
Italy, Belgium and Russia, and
for the benefit of Wilson and our
big profiteers.
All this talk we have heard
about making the world safe for
democracy was purely Wilson
bunk, Never can the world be safe
for democracy until we improve
the human race and eliminate
fro mthe human animal the in
stinct of greed and the instinct to
fight and quarrel. 1t will require
the lapse of thousands of years be-
fore the race can be improved to
make the world safe for all the
nations OF the earth. Man is as
yet only a few generations remov-
ed from the cave man.
The United States was never in
any danger of an invasion and had
we spent one fourth of what the
war cost us for submarines and
home defense all the nations of
the world could not have invad-
ed us. Had England at the start
of the world war raised an army
OF 5000, 600 OF men and had them
on the western front at the time
when Austria broke down, Ger
many could not have withdrawn
her men from the western front
to help and save Austria from de-
feat and once Austria defeated
Germany would not have lasted
long and the war would have been
over in two years after it started.
It is alleged on fairly good author
lty why England did little fight
Ing until Russia broke down. is.
that she had the promise from one
man in this country that as soon
rs the Wilson administration en-
iered on its second term war
would be declared by our country /
and all our resources and men

and, France and the other eoun-
ries..

a new epoch in its history |

Morgantown, w. Va. Nov. 49,
Mrs. II. NJ. Farrell, sixty-eight,
worried over an unpaid bill OF
$3.50 for forty-nine years. Then
she came to this city from her
home in Pittsburgh to pay the bill
contracted when she was a young
girl attending school here with the
firm Of George NJ. John & Co. She
had an account with the store and
left the city owing $3.50. which
debt, she said, she could not dis
miss from her mind. Mr.. John.

Case Of State

I
CONTINUED from page one)
of asking the judge for a direct
ed verdict in favor Of Todd
George N. Ausman OF Salem vas
the last witness for the govern
ment, and when he left the stand
the jury was having a good laugh
over OIL boots and $1,000. Aus
man almost turned the dignified
hal of justice into a comedians
palace when he explained to ,he
jury how he dug out an old pair of
shoes, and oiled them up and had
caullSs put in, in order that he
might be ready to make a hurried
journey to the prospective timber
claim.
Ausman Not Caught.
$50 you are out some oil and a
pair of Shoes" said Todd's attor-
ney in trying to overcome the im-
preston Ausman had made on the
jury.
YES" answered Ausman, "and
$1,000 also.'
The testimony of w. E. Park,
Salem grocery clerk, had exactly
the opposite effect on the jury. AS
a result of his statements Todd re-
ceived a sharp, repulsive stare
from Judge Bean, which practical
ly everyone in the court room no.
ticed.
Park testified to calling Todd on
the telephone on February 90,
1920, and requesting the return of
his $500, which he had borrowed
in order to take out a contract
Todd, he said, asked him what was
the matter, accused him of getting
cold feet, and stated Byron was a
man of great wealth and able to
pay back three times the amount
Salemites had given him.
Todd Led Him On.
1T wouldn't be a great misfor
tune if you lost that amount any
way" Park said Todd asked him.
Park said he explained that it
would, as he was in i'll health and
had no finances Of his own.
Todd, he declared, encouraged
him further by stating that his
brother, DIR. E. H. Todd, has just
sold his claim the previous weeA
for 100000, which he thought
very foolish act, as within short
time it would have been worth
double that amount. When Park |
this statement Todd got
his piercing stare from the judge,
To contradict previous state
nents of Todd that Byron was the
7ictim of the big timber interests
because he had gathered evidence
,or the government in the Hyde
Benson land fraud cases, the gov-
srnment prosecutor called Judge
:. A. Millerich, member Of the
BOARD of review of the general
and of1ee, to the witness stand.
Judge Millerich stated that Byron
lad never furnished the govern
nent any information in any Grim
nal or civil matter and partieu-
arly in the HYDE Benson cases,
md added that Iron bore a very
reputation in the land
'ffice.
Court Record Used.
Blanche Barratt, court reporter
t rodd's civil trial in Salem. read
from the records Of
hat trial. The government asked
ier to read Todd's testimony
fhere he confessed that on Decem-
er 4. 1919. he returned to his Of
ice and found Byron waiting for
i'm. and stated that on that occa-
ion he first learned Byron's Grim
nal record.

phreys wanted this testimony il
the record to prove to the jury
that Todd continued to collect
money after he knew Byron was
an ex-convict One of these vic
tins who took the stand after Miss
Barratt was w. c. Young of Sa-
lem, who said he gave Todd $500
on January 20, or over a month
later.
Claims of victims of Byron and
Todd who gave their money for a
worthless contract after December
5, 1919, total $1,000, according to
tabulation kept of the testi-
mony.
Prince Also Victim.
Another of the "willful" vic
Tins of Todd was F. F. Prince,
Marion county fruit grower, who
testified he gave Todd $500
check on January 20. l., P. Aid
rich, assistant cashier at the Ladd
d Bush bank, was the only other
Salem witness on the stand Fri
day afternoon. He identified GER
tain checks which passed through
his hands.
That the defense played its
trump card in Todd's favor by ex-
all witnesses from the
court room, is evidenced by the
statements of two witnesses at the
conclusion Of the governments
case.
well, what do you think of the
trial" they were asked at the con-
of the case. I'VE don't
known anything about it," one of
them responded. I'VE couldn't get
in the court room"
By excluding all government
witnesses from the court room.
defense attorneys made sure that
none of Todd's friends deserted
him during the trial.

HINTS FOR GARDENERS

The strong westerly winds char
acteristic of March and April in
sweeping over you open fields liter
ally suck up tons of moisture out of
the soil. Early blowing and the
maintenance of a mulch on the sur
face until planting time will go a
long way toward conserving this
moisture which may be the saving
of your crop through the almost in
evitable drought later in the season.
In purchasing garden seeds you
are not so much interested in the
label of the package as in its con-
tents. It's safer to order direct from
a reliable seed house than to buy
the handy and attractive five and
ten-cent packets from the corner
drug store, unless these packets bear
the label of a reliable seed house.

day spent in going over the farm

The average value per acre of all
farm land with improvements in

New Jerseys potato crop in 1920
amounted to nearly 100000
bushels. approximately 5.000,0 900
bushels larger than any previous
crop. The average yield was 156
bushels per acre.
And from this magnificent total,
experts tell us that disease exacted a
toll of 1900, 900 to 5000. 900 bushels.
