THE OPEN SHOP BY BALLOT INCREASED IMPORTS OF FOOD Importations of foodstuffs for tho first tan months of the current year, totaled $499,262,000, compared with $331,500,000 for the first ten months of 1913, nine of which were under tho Re publican protective tariff law, and $423,500,000 for the first ten months of 1914. Of the total for 1916, compared with 1913, crude foodstuffs and food ani mals showed an increase of $38,000,000 or from $166,000,000 In 1913 to $204,-j 000,000 in 1916. This group includes bread-stuffs, fish, fruits, hay, vegeta bles, etc. Manufactured foodstuffs showed an increase of $129,000,000. or from $166,000,000 in 1913 to $295,000,- 000 in 1916. This group Includes bread and biscuit, cleaned rice, wheat flour, prepared fish, dried fruits, meat and dairy products, vegetable oils, spirits, prepared vegetables, etc., and heavy Importations of commodities included in this group, due to a near-free-trade tariff law, work a three-ply deteri ment to the American peop'e: (1) son Is ct heart, by training and tra tion, an aristocrat; that his utterances nt Princeton and elsewhere before, coming Into public life contained hla real opinion regarding labor organiza lions; and that his real self will be asserted now that he Is freed from the necessity of courting votes. The president s adherence to the plan to secure legislation for a com pulsory public investigation of labor disputes In advance of a strike, Is cite as evidence of this tendency In hi mind; and already there nre Indica lions that the labor leaders are suspi clous that their great and good friend in the White House Is not exactly what he seemed to them in the early days of September. If these surmises should come true It Is evident that the president Is in for some stormy days and not on'y he but others in authority will share in the grief which will ensue. The labor leaders, finding that the presi dent's skill In the use of words has led them into controversy with him will doubtless Jump to the conclusion that all men In public life are alike, that jione can be trusted and that the remedy will lie in a widespread at tempt to form a new political organiza Hon which will contain enough mem bers of voting age affiliated with tho trade unions to swing future elections This would produce a warfare of class cs such as the president told the labor delegates he deplored and which he Bald he would work to allay. But it seems inevitable unless he is disposed to go the whole distance along the road which the labor unions have marked out for him. Thus far his reluctance to take up this line of march is very pronounced. M7E GIVE YOU ADVICE.

THE BANK OF OREGON CITY OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY San KramiM-o ha. by vote amended Its city charter (o prohibit picketing l y tha union, during labor struggle, but the result, though extraordinary because of tha numerical strength of the San Kranclco union., round, a note of warning. The vote Is uii.piea tionably In favor of tha open .hop. of the rlulit of the workliiKinan to work where he p!cncs without the permis sion of unionized member, of hi. own trade. Hut the majority of but 3000 in a total vote of 130.000 can be only te.n-IHir-rlly conclusive. I'nlon labor counts million, of friends who cannot go with It all the way. To the average citizen, who !. neither the partisan of capital nor of labor but 1. Inclined to sympathise with the latter, the right of any work Ingman to decline union membership seems fundamental. His right to re main non-union must of necessity car ry with it the right to work where- ever the conditions suit him. If these rights are his, then (he practice of picketing is essentially wrong and, San Frtnclsco has, by narrow margin, ru'ed wisely. Collective bargaining is no longer an experiment or a disputed principle. Labor enjoys the same right to organ ize as capital, and tho saino right to strike that capital has to withdraw from an enterprise It considers no longer profitable. Hut it Is not yet established that the employees of a given concern after striking In a body, may proclaim that their fuaces sh'ill not be filled by others, l'erhaps this weapon Is necessary to the success ful conduct of a strike but public sen timent docs not yet concede the pro priety of its use. The day, of course, must ultlmntoly rrlve, perhaps It Is not now far dis tant, when the strike and tho lockout will be obsolete. Numerous unions throughout tho nation remain on ex cellent terms with employing capital. Tho harmonious relations between the associated nev.-apr-.per publishers and the organization of printers are not Im possible of rupture but trouble Is nut probable. Doth sides recognize the community of Interest and the result sincere co-operation. Suit Lake Herald-Republican. There la danger of cloKing lha poait.rri, e hulldliiK. and iioK.;lng lha railroad.

In tha absence of any Ideal sy.tem the women are doing un excellent work. Housewives' leagues, forninl and 'n formal, operating In the Interest of the consumer, have boycotted eng. und turkeys. Tho price of the Thanksgiving bird went tumbling lust week, especially In big ritle where the middlemen hud planned to reap' such harvest. Deal ers and speculators aro left with a large stock on their hands. They hope now to carry out their anticipated "drive" against the public purse In the Christmas season, with those same birds; but if thn housewives hung to gether they can then foil the plot still more effectually. Kggs have ben forced down levernl rents a dozen nearly evcrywharo by tho simple detico of women resolving to buy no more eggs until the price becomes reasonable. Somo dealers especially small retailers, have lost money through no fault of their own That Is unfortunate. Hut in general the blow has landed In the right place and the chief offenders have felt It. Tho same process can be profitably applied to many other lines of food. Tho public really can regulate food prices, If It will make up Its mind to do so, nnd keep on tho Job. It rests clmost entirely with the women. JUDGES AND THE PRESIDENCY Neither during tho campaign nor since has there been any material criticism of the nomination of nn oc cupant of the supreme bench or the acceptance by him of such nomination when tendered. Early in the recent campaign there was some effort on tho part of Democrats to make political capital of this departure from what has been considered an ' established rule. The fact, however, that Justice I Hughes did absolutely nothing either to encourage or even to countenance efforts that wore, made in his behalf prevented any effective use being made of this argument, and It was :irly abandoned. Nevertheless, the fact that Justice Hughes was defeated for the presi dency leaves In full force and effect the long recognized principle that a president shall not be selected from the supreme bench. No possible criti cism can be made of the conduct of Justice Hughes prior to his nomlna. tion. Neither can It be contended that during his campaign he made any po litical use whatever of his record as a Justice of the supreme court. And yet it is altogether likely that If Mr. Hughes had been elected to the presi dency, the departure from our long established custom would have stimu lated In the minds of other occupants THE 2a CENT PIECE The director of the mint, In an an nual report recently mado public, roc ommendcr the passage of a law au thorizing 2'4 cent coins of nickel and cqpper. He said: "When you con sider that we have no coin between the 1-cent and tho G-cent piece, and j mat many articles worth more than a cent and less than 5 conts soil for the lutter price because of the lack of an Intermediate monetary unit of value, the economic Importance of It will be readily seen." The one-cent piece has been losing favor of late because so few things can bo bought for less than a nickel A lot of pennies in pocket or purso arc a nuisance. A 2'4 cent coin might save a little of the expense the nickel habit has gotten us Into. And It would bo easier to handle than several pen nies. Goods costing 25 cents per pound or yard cought be bought In smaller amounts without tho usual loss of a half cent to the cuntomor. While it would probably rcqulro J some rather strenuous mental gym nasties to make ourselves at home with such a coin, it would very likely be a benefit to us In the end. torney.
