Hedges is a man of at least average powers of observation.' We must admit that he probably knows more of business conditions of the country after a trip through the east than the editor of the Courier whose field of observation is confined to the four walls of an office on a side street in Oregon City. Moreover, Mr. Hedges is a Democrat, and we have a good deal more respect for the sincere democracy of Mr. Hedge than the ranting variety peddled by the Courier. Mr. Hedges is now- in the east, and in his trip across the continent he carefully studied industrial conditions. This honest Democrat acknowledges Iri a letter recently printed in The Enterprise that "in some respects and in some ways the prosperity is very greatly due to the world war." Then Mr. Hedges adds mind you after careful investi Rations that he is "convinced from my gathered information in some lines cf trade merchandise for instance the conditions are not good generally." These are the admissions of Joseph E. Hedges, undoubtedly one of the most prominent Democrats in western Oregon. He says that the prosperity in the east "is very greatly due to the world war," and that in some lines cf trade, probably the ones not benefited by the war, conditions are not good generally. His letter brands the statement in the Courier as an untruth. The Democrats have no more right to adopt the present alleged prosperity and use it as campaign material than the Republicans have ta claim the honor of bringing us all these gentle showers this summer. Unless the Democrats can prove they brought on the war in Europe, they have no business claiming the sectional prosperity in the United States which is direct ly due to that war.

The attempt of the Democratic cam palgn managers to put the emphasis of Wilson's canvass for re-election upon "Americanism" is looked upon aa a very bold effort to cover up the party record In Congress with high sounding words. Observers of legislation and ad ministration in Washington cannot separate tho Issue of "Americanism" In its 1916 model from the issue ot preparedness as exemplified by a Dem ocratic Congress. An illuminating instance of the at titude of Democracy's loaders to the preparedness issue is manifest in the action a few days ago of Chairman Hay of the military affairs committee In handling the question of appropria tion for the military Instruction camps Section 54 of the military bill, pro vides for transportation and Bubals tence for all those attending the In struction camps. It remained, how ever, for the army appropriation bill to provide the wherewithal to execute the provision. Secretary Baker rec ommended $2,286,980 for transporta tion and subsistence of men attending the camps, and $500,000 for general maintenance of the camps. Chairman Hay, who has been per sistently opposed to the instruction camp idea, ruled that the military ap propriation bill should carry out $500,- Wilson will now proceed to take per sonal charge of his canrasa for re election.

Faced by demands from the conductor, engineer, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in Transportation costi of $100,000,000 a year, the railroadi propose that this wage problem be settled bj reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. ' ' With theie employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no -differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the emnlnve for the .crrlmenr nf , a . - 1 J -- ............. . the controversy is as follows: "Our conference hr demonttnted that w cnnot harmoniu eur difference! ol opinion nd that eventually th nutter in controveny mutt be pitted upon by other nd diiinterettcd agtncie.

By arbitration in accordance with th provitieni ol th Kederll liw" (Th Newlindi Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June MS, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: No other body with tuch in intimite know'tdge of railroad condition hat tuch in unquettioned por tion in the public confidence. The ratri the railroiilt may charge the public lor reimportation ire now largely fixed by this Govern- ment board. Out of every dollar received by the railroadi from Ih public nearly one-hilf it paid directly to tlie em ploye! at wagei ; ind the money to ply increned wiget cm come from no other tourc llian the met paid by the public. The Interttaie Commerce Commitiion, with in con trol oyer ratet, it in s petition to mike s complet inveitigition ind render tuch decition at would pro tect the.imereiti of the railroad employet, the owner of the railroadi, and th public. A Question For the Public to Decide The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a 'year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only , one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits.of the case after a review of all the facts. The siigle issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
