Kyery 'oiiiiuodil y has raised, labor has raised. Why not street :tr fares? The facts showed that unless street car fares .ere raised, the company would be forced into bankruptcy, :ie servicd of the public, would have been curtailed and eiieral inconvenience would have resulted. "Labor itself :. represented by the employes, and official labor organ ition had studied the ease and approved the increase, lut the demagogic newspapers continue to harp and rowl. They sell social discontent on their editorial pages nd in their news columns, stir up strife between capital Mil labor and raise hob generally and incidentally sell lieir papers and advertising and make money. The street ar company has raised its rate twenty per cent. If these H'wspa"pers have not raised their advertising rates more ban t wenty per cent and I heir subscription rates more ban twenty per cent since the war times, they are not bowing good business .judgment. What is good business r t hem and their pal rons is good business for the public. A starved horse will not pull the load. A DL'KIIIT OUTLOOK The article in 'I he Observer yesterday by William II. '.'ankin of Chicago, one of the most prominent and palri ilie advertising men in the country, merited careful read ig and altentirn. 'Iie first thing that should sink into he public mind is that America will follow lOngland's Nperieiiee: llusiness will he active and prosperity will oMtiluie to flow. I low can it I therwise, when in one ell1 I he'savillg.'! of ;i iil'et in:e ale bei.!;; i III in (d rcukit ion Mill all in. 'ibis cnun'rv, I -i I n and r-.jiilal both, reaping s'le benelil No iloubi tin- L.ist will reap the greater' '"'lelil. v'e hear people whining that we of the West rive nothing t sell. Such talk is childish. Kvervl h imr that we have nearly is for sale and at good prices, and money is continually flowing in as the result. Willi the prospects for a million bushel crop in Union county alone,, with high prices for all farm products, with labor well paid and with steady employment, business men and others in Eastern Oregon should signal "full steam ahead." WANT 10.1) A DUMAS Shades of Dumas! What a chance the great romancer would have had in the present war! Than IJunias there is no greater for the plausibility o this romances, for the is no greater for the plausibility of his romances, for the liveliness and grace ff his narrative. Even the translator cannot lose his sprightlhiess of wit that sparkles in the I'Veiieh. Dumas would have seized the modern engines of war and woven them into his stories. D'Artagnan would probably have flown to Dcrlin in an airplane, Porthos would probably be cast as a driver of tanks, A thus might have performed great exploits as a balloon pilot, while Araniis might have been a. star in the secret service. Dumas has left for us a picture of Cardinal Richelieu that s better than history for vividness. Who is there who .vill paint the picture, of the Kaiser to leave for future generations? o JIANDLIXO ORAIX IX HULK Fanners in the vicinity of'Klgin, with the co-operation of the warehouse company, are considering building an elevator for the handling of bulk grain. This is a subject which merits prompt and careful attention and study. o ' EDITORIAL COMMENT was eluded a year uco.

Oregon First The Slate of Oregon enjoys ;m enviable standing among I lie states of the Union on account of its splendid record in every movement of patriotic duty that has been inaug urated for the support of our t,ovcrinuent in the successful pi'oseciil ion of ils motst worthy war aims, for the encour- lageiiiem, protect ion and eomlort ol those who have i aeei'. icir lives uiion the altar of sacrifice for their cntini .rvV ense. fur the conservation of re;.-;oiirces .-mil fur .sm-li unselfish denials as the ruling forces of the nation hnv deemed necessary to the ends and purposes of the nation'.s participation in the international conflict. t;Verv citizen of this state must feel proud of what Oregon has done in answer to every call to the Red Cross, to the voluntary enlistment of its fighting forces, to the Liberty RoihI .sub scriptions, to the V.
