Both sides found cheering news in the returns. You could buy a newspaper elect either man you wanted. and The Observer printed the news without any bias. Its circulation is jumping rapidly. THE ELECTION CONTEST. President Wilson is apparently re elected. The contest is close. There will be contests in several states. A bitter controversy may result. Wo hope that the country will not have a repetition of the Hayes-Tildcn contest. All that the people want is a fair count and the office to go to the man who has fairly been elected. The Republican party managers are and should be vigilant in looking af ter the interests of Mr. Hughes. If he is elected fairly and honestly he Hhould be seated. Chairman Willcox, the chairman of the Republican com mittee, is to be commended for mak ing a last ditch fight. But the American people will not stand for fraud from either party. The day of stealing elections after the ballots are in the box is past. Whether President Wilson is elected or not and the Observer has no doubt that he is elected and will be seated he has met in Mr. Hughes a foeman worthy of his steel and received a magnificent tribute from the people of the United States. For it is a great honor to be elected President of a country of one hundred million thinking citizens. And even though the election was close the American people will acquiesce in the final verdict of a majority of their fel low citizens and honor the man upon whom they have bestowed honor os "ell as great burdens and responsibil ities. Mr. WilBon has given great ser vices to the nation in the past.- He can do great services in the future. He needs to scourge the spoilsmen in his own party. He needs to curb the extravagance of congress. He needs to do something to reduce the high cost of living for the common people, to curb the rapacious trusts, to pro tect American workingmen from for eign cheap labor competition. He must forsee and solvn the problems that will confront the nation at the close of the European war and take Eteps to keep American industry em ployed in the face of severe competi tion. He needs to introduce a com mon ordinary garden variety of econ omy and efficiency in the government departments, to check waste ana ex travagance. This is a man's sized job. Woodrow Wilson, we hope and be lieve, will be equal to it. In the meantime if he is to be our next President as he is now our President in fact let us give him the respect and the support in word and The Secret of Perfect Pancakes Fifty-five years ago way down in Dixie Aunt Jemima made the first pancakes that have since made her name a household word all over America.

J CIVILIZATION. CiviIization--that much over-worked wond has been maao the title of a moving picture drama or is it trag-1 edy? Euripidos has nothing more tragic than Thomas rL Inco' great drama. Starting from the minute the cur tain rises and shows a happy1 pastoral contented people busy in the pursuits of peace to the moment when the curse of war is visited upon them the spectator is held thrilled by the scenes aa if from real life. , , The beautiful thing about "Civiliza tion" is thijt it iH true. Rex Lampman, formerly on the Journal staff, saw this film and he de scribed it in his characteristic way as follows: i Yesterday I made up my mind to go over to the Heilig. and see what that bugler was blowing about. . And over there I saw a film called "Civilization." Civilization the word we have called blessed. . the word we have looked to and have held up to the lesser peoples 16 bring happiness to all. And I watched the wondrous pageant the long procession of shift ing scenes. that Thomas Ince has made to show us what civilization means. And I saw the mighty armies and the great guns, and the powerful battleships. and cunning submarines. and all the other mechanical miracles. And dominating everything I saw strong men enthusiastic in their tasks. And I sawthem using these things. But before that I yaw the recruit ing officers come. and take a helpful son from a crippled mother. and drag a father from his chil dren's arms. while his wife cuddled the baby and wept. And I saw the armies and the great guns and all the rest at work. efficiently doing their peculiar business of killing people. not soldiers alone but anybody everybody from grandfathers to babies. who happened to be in the way of civilization's progress. And I saw soldiers blown like chaff from a thresher. and hanging like rags in the ruined trees. And despair and desolation and death were everywhere. . And hate ruled the world. And it was all so hopeless and fo real so like what is happening that I shut my eyes. and tried not to think of it. And when I opened them there had been a change. a wonderful change. because one man through the pleadings of a good woman the wom an he loved had seen the light. and had set out to do what little he could do to end the horror. And he gave his life all but a lit tle spark to end it. And they cherished that spark and brought him back from the other side. And the spirit of the man of Nazar eth came with him. and worked through him. And the light grew like lilies and spread from heart to heart. through all the world. because one soul seeing the truth had been faithful unto death. for the truth's sake. And peace came and the soldiers came back from the war. and the children ran to meet them. and sang with joy the gladdest song I ever heard. And the earth smiled with the spirit of peace. and everything was all right. And my hat is off to Thomas Ince. And I hope his film is shown around the world. and I'm sure it will be. And if I were a preacher I'd preach a sermon about it next SunT day. and the Sunday after and th Sunday after that. and so on right along. j And 1 don't sec why some of then don't. or all of them. because Thomas Ince you have shown us all or I'm sure you will before you're through. how to bring the kingdom of heaven upon earth. just as Jesus prayed it might come. And I want to thank you for mak ing the picture. and Mr. Edison for inventing the machine. And I'm glad he has never made anything for war. but has just talked about it. And I want to thank everyone else who had anything to do with this film. because they're all helping to spread the light. And this is the way I felt when I came out of the Heilig yesterday. And I saw the man who blows the bugle standing on the curb. resting his lungs and Listen I went right up to him and on behalf of the entire Journal staff and all the printers and every body I forgave him.

Mr. Ince has done a service for humanity in showing ub the folly, the tragedy, the criminality of war. Wit And Humor Known by Their Numbers. To one of the members of a com mittee of inspection on its tour of a penitentiary a convict, so we learn from the Times Magazine, confided: "It is a terrible thing to be known by a number instead of a name, and to feel that al my life I shall be an ob ject of suspicion among the police." . "But you will not be alone, my friend," said the visitor, consolingly "The same thing happens to people who own automobiles." Prosperity In Oregon. Taber Fraction Mine Sold.
