If so, one of the greatest revolutions of history has taken place over night. The mightiest despotism the world ever saw,- suddenly disappears. In its place we have a democratic -mon archy, conforming to Presldont Wil son's demands. It takes a shell game artist at a county fair to do anything so neat. Oroat revolutions like those ,if authentic, are attested by Indisput able evidence. Any constitutional change In the United States Is the subject of long debate in public as sembly, and Is finally agreed to by vote attested and put on record by the lawful authorities. English lib erties date bacit to Magna Charter. You can find nn original copy of it In Lincoln cathedral today. When haB any proclamation of ab dication of his imperial power been made by Emperor William II. of Uiirnmny? Under the German con stitution, he has the power of mak ing "defensive war." As ho can set up the claim tlia. any war is ' defen sive", this practically gives him the right to make war any time ne wants to. Where and whon has he abdi cated this power? Let him come forward and presont a signed pro clamation giving up the right. Under the German constitution, the Fodoral Council can authorise the Kaiser to make nn "offensive war.". As tills Dody does not repre sent the people, the Council must formally by attested votos renounce this right, before the first step to ward democratization nas been made. Tho claim set forth by tho Gorman .government that it has placed' sover eign power In the hands of tho peo ple is too transparent to deceive a claaB of school children. , LKSHONS OK THE INFLUENZA. . It is now generally realized that the epidemic of Spunish tnriuonza Is one of tho most serious calamities that' ever bofoll this country. Wo had been boasting how our soldiers were not going to suffer from disease as In early wars. Wo had learned better how to care for them. But It Is now soon, mo did not know it all. AIbo If the country gets through . this epidemic without luu.uuo deaths. It will escape bottor than now seems likely. Some medical authorities think this fatal rosult could not have been helpod, since the beginnings of tho d (sense can not be distinguished from a common cold. However, a gront mony poople hava boon very caroloss. The story Is told of one lady who was out on her porch one day talking with her neighbors. "Donf come noar me", she said, "or I will give you this awful cold I've got. But I'm going out for a nice long rldo this after noon that will brer It It up." 3ho did go out on the ride, but after she got home the had a severe chill, and In n few days she was dead. The management of one largo fac tory In a town whore the dlsoaso has prevailed, snowed how It can be handled. Tho owners were no doubt moved botn by gonoroslty to their help, and by the feeling that It was poor business to let' the disease get a start. They provided doctors and nuroes, and when one of their em ployees got the Influenza, they sent him right home, and hud a doctor and nurse call, ine same thing was done when members of the families of the help were takon sick. As a result, not one death was reported! in all the 2,000 families connected with that mill. If that policy could be followed everywhere, toe influ enza would not be very, fatal. Of 'course the shortage of doctors and nurses has aggravated the situ ation. After oi.r medical forces get back from France the danger will be less. In his elaborate street car advert izing, the Democratic candidate for Governor declares for more land for the "landless man." Just how Bin cere air. Pierce is In this matter Is perhaps best shown by a reference to the records or tne lvlv session of the Oregon eglslature. In the closing days of that session,' Mr. Pierce, as a member of the Senate introduced and fought for the adop tion of a memorial to Congress, ask ing for the suspension In this state of that provision of the land laws which enable persons to acquire 64 acres of land in the public domain The memorial was defeated. Fur thermore. Mr. Pierce 1b the reputed owner of several thousand acres ot valuable wheat land in eastern Ore gon. ' , " ' Voters of Oregon are advised by Attorney General Brown to place at the left of any names written in on the ballot at the November election an X. In the same way that the 1b placed before the names ot candi dates whose names are pnntea on the ballot sheets. Under the law1 the attorney general 1b of the opinion that this Is not necessary, but to eliminate any doubt and' so that the eleetors or candidates whose names are. written in may be on the safe side, If such votes should be carried by contest into the courts. PENNY-WISE POLICy A penny-wise policy which arousing wide contempt and. condem nation IB being advocated by the Portland! Journal In its campaign for two substitute" -measures to be voted on at the next election. The Portland Journal wants the people of the state to abolish tne present delinquent tax publication law and the present legal rate statute, both of which measures are to be sup planted by two pet laws advocated uy that newspaper. There Is no earthly reason for a change in either of the existing statutes, but the Journal Insists Its pet would be "cheaper" -' In making the delinquent tax law "cheaper" the citizens of Oregon will take from the law the one element that Is essential for the protection of the public. This law was passed by our state legislature to protect your proiiorty and mine from the tax title grabber and to save it for the right ful owner. That it iB serving It's purpose well, must be conceded, even by the Journal, and yet the editor of that paper would' abolish the pub lication in oruer tnai me macninery of state may- be operated 1 cheapor" basis. In the last analy sis this Is the substance of the Jour nal's argument. The "becaiiBO-it s-cheaper'.' argu ment never had a leg to Btand on and never will. Cut down the ex penditures for heavy artillery In France by UBlng something "chea por" and while we might save a few thousand or hundreds of thousand dollars, we woulu lose as mnny lives. It a cheaper to run around barefoot than to wear shoes. If you measure cheapness' ' by dollars and! cents otherwise it is not. It's cheaper to live In the street than In a house, if nil you wish to do is to save rent. It s cheaper to doctor your own In- fluonza if you are not particular about recovering. Cut out the de linquent tax hill; throw down the bars to the title grabber; let him pick up the doltnquent lists for song; let tho Interest accrue on the delinquent landownor who may be furtiinato anough to escape the title grabbor. Why not? It's "cheapor ' argues the Journal. And bo with the legal rate bill. 'Too much" wails the Portland sheet; It's cheaper to cut It down little. This, in spite of the fact that the present fair rate of 6 cents per line Is as low or lower than the charges established In tho other states of the union; this, in spite of the fact that the newspapers of the country are called on for endless columns of government "wln-the- wnr" publicity continually; this. In splto of tho fact- that newspapers cost prices and wages have gone up rrnm 30 to 100 per cent during the past year as in every lino of 1110- dern industry. Mr. JnckBon knows Ithoso things to bo true let him dare !deny thorn. And yet he woula throttlo the press of the state, all because he thinks It "cheaper .

Farmers planning to use ground lime should apply It as early as possible, to get the full benefit of Its action oh next season's crops, advises Dean A. B. Cordley, chairman of the state board. Unless the lime Is put on before the ground -becomes too soft this fall It may not be possible to apply it until well Into next spring. Early orders are necessary to keep the state lime plant running. Money for operating expenses must come from lime sales, and lack of bunker facilities makes it necessary that sales keep up with the manufacture.
