he conies up smiting and plays ball, bowing to majority

: The highway commission members will find in him
anything but a "run too'' man, and no doubt many hours

Olcott, "Your choice for eonimissiiiiie'r is indeed a wise

IT LOOKS LIKE THE
There is not much use to fool ourselves longer about
the initiative, and possibly the referendum, as well. It
looks as though the former had lo go in order to save the
state of Oregon from financial and business ruin. There
has been an initiative measure filed at Salem by a Mr.
Allbright, who hails from Clackamas county Mie seat of
many vagaries forcing (he legal rale of interest to four
per cent and (he contract, rate lo five percent. ....
Such inea.sures cannot, become laws and the business
of Oregon survive. Kvcn if I hey do mil become laws, cap
ital from the outside and that is what Oregon nerds to
develop her resources w ill-shy around Ibis stale w hen
once it is known that such laws are even contemplated
by the people.
There is no use to rani; and rave about Mr. Allbright
for introducing such a measure, for if it were not Allbright
it would be li'h'en or some ol
for sane people to consider is
Do we want to live in a continual business turmoil, or
do we want settled coudil ions with business on a fair basisi

In a way, all this rabid propaganda
is futile, because the great muss of
Americans, including Ilia big majority
of immigrants, remain unmoved by it
These hot-heads will never accomplish
their "revolution" in America. Hut for

these wilii words into practice.
Free speech is one thing; the preach

crimo is another. The nttorney gen

to suppress such utterances. If lhat.
is true, congress should provide them,

How Many Arc Too Old to
Learn?
A short time ago, a man down in
Kentucky celebrated, his la 1st luitlr
day. lie celebrated it by eh biting
himself at a county fan ''to raise
money to pay off the mortgage on his
farm." What a terrible recoid of
wasted yYnrs that celdnation complct
ed. After a life of endeavor more that-
dulde that of the average man, he
was reduced to exhibiting his gray
baits and 'nfiimities to settle n por
tion of his dcM.v
There can be no oilier reason for
such necessity than luck of thrift and
saving, lie undoubtedly luid streuglb
and health above the average or he
could not have doubled the span of
life. Me mud have had uncounted up
portunities. The development of hi
state and the nation hits forced thou
Minds Mich into his path. Yet he ob
vously tlfd nM seVe or take ad van
tnge oT them, through lack of thrift.
St is not unreasonable to smppo
that he earned more tlun a mere liv
ing throughout more than half of h-
existence-, Uad ht but practiced rcg
ular' saving throughout a portion o'
thot-e ),iis, he would have'.been so fur
t emoed from poverty that a moi t
gage en his farm would hav
absutdity. Few t reiuse to concede
tbM it was" Jtoss ble for him to ha c
savctl 0 cents a week during Jialf of
his life. That Mini deposited at four

iligs Stamps, fiv the timehe was '.'I
until he reached l-t! would have gix$ o
him appioximately or mote

Instead of being nvgrcl of lif
without fhi?inci$l caret he ha rl,g

Ending SUtrfof Wat By a
Peace Resolution.
Can llfu war he brought to a elusi I
50 far as the United States is con-;
corned, by a"funcurrcnt reWutinn"
of both liuuscs of rontfres.-i, announc
ing? a state of peace? Farmer Pies'?
dent Taft, vh is regarded as an au
tlwuity on contititulfonal anu niter
national law, says no.
.Such a resolution, he declares, "even
if passed, will be only an e.fpre-aun'n of
opininn by the two houses that the
treaty t which thus far we have de
clined to be a party h;Ts created peacq
for us without our agreeing to it. It
will have effect neither as a law nor
an a treaty, nor as an authoritative I
declaration by any branch of our gov- j
eminent authorized Ut ' .peak in a
binding or effective way on our for- !
eign relations. It can't even be of fi-1
cially tiansmittcd to Cerniany or our;
lilies unh'HH the President consent d to 1
forward it." i
It hardty seems possible that con-
gresH will pieUnd to make jc;iee by j
such an undignified and questionable
process. The sensible th:ng, of cour.se, I
is for senators f both parties to get !
together early in the regiflar session,
which begins Meceinher 1 and adopt :i
compromise set of rescrvat urns an
ratify the peace treaty in the regular!
way. Any other procedure will end
nothing and settle notlrng, but only
leave a me. si of war problems and in- I
ternalioiir! di:-piltes for President and ,
congress to squabble over tnterminnh-'
ly, to the neglect of vital domestic 1
affairs. j
Federal Coal Mining a Last
Resource. . i
The federal attorney general, fit-'
d: rector and railroad rli rector have
been discussing the possibility nf seiz
ing all the, coal mines aud operating'
them in behalf of the government.
There is probability not h ug else to do.
if normal production is not resumed
soon by other processes. It might be
better if the various coal-produfing
states would take care of the matter
for themselves they have the power,
nn. I Uncle Sam has his hand . full of
other masters. Hut Ihi' le can do it,
if he has to. a
Tt m:i:ht havo been a good thing it
the government had taken this pro
cedurtin the fiist place, instead nf at
tempting to compel a renewal of ma I
production by a court order, based n
what appear;) to many as a legal tech
nicality. The general powers of the
government ate broad enough for any
such emergency, and acting under
them, the' government might havv
gained in effectiveness and avo dnl
some of the criticism tu. which it bus
been subjected. Hut it is not too laic
to apply that process. Something will
have to be dour" soon, if the m ners
will not go back to work, and th;tt is
the obvious thing.
The people of the town of Union
must take .some consid.it ion in the re
sults of their years of work on the an
nual live stock show. The Portland
show reflected actual results of the
efforts of tlie men in Union and the
Grande Konde valley, who kept the in
stitution going.
Says Von Hioiniluii g, test fyiie
before a committee of the German na
tional assembly which is conducting n
war probe: ' I know with ub()ute
certainty that neither the people, the
kaiser nor the government desired
war." Germ"in always were fanuus
tor knowing a'lot of things that mo-
noiiy cl.se could ever, f nd out.
