We wonder when the ultra reformers; in Oregon tlie men and women who stand on the Oregon system lor revenue only, including . those who have come to liu.sinesx and official prominence ly hypo critically advocating a lot of luoli.sh rot will he willing to step , down and take their place alongside men and women who sincerely try to do the light thing in politics and constantly work to give Oregon good officials anil careful administration. The crooked politician willing to spend thousands for the re- ! call of a governor is just as much of a patriot as the individual or newspaper that hypocritically pronounces the death penalty on anyone who honestly refuses to advocate the recall and the other fancy Trills which were only adopted to fool the voter. It may be fun to keep on this way year after year. Perhaps the Democratic minoiity still sees success in this hypocrisy, even if it did almost singe the tail feathers of some of its own pet birds. Rut just the same, it is as dishonest to preach a doctrine that you know is wrong as it is to go out and hire paid solicitors to circulate a recall petition. The law permits both to be done and the law does not prevent either from being' crooked and unmanly. VZ3ZZm -rum wrtLV CLARKE TIPPED HIS W . at aii -mr ia'al rjKvtfS Foift .

If they can discover the way to be most miserable they will be happier than if they miss that goal. Their self-pity constraint; them to believe that the more they cause themselves to suffer the worse it will be for their late enemies. The communists and the monarchists would overthrow' the repub lic, though it is not to be assumed that they would agree on what would take its place. Others would disnipt the reich. They ap pear to agree that destruction is the desirable program. The Ger many which IJismarck united on a basis of self-interest no longer exists. Thdre is little love for Germany as Germany, Sentiment for a nation one and undivided appears to make a weak appeal. The Bavarians who talk of secession take no pride in being members of the reich, a part of a populous nation with vast re MUXcaZu, Jilajvy, in the JUiiiuimdre eager for separation. Wheth er the diverse disaffected elements have the power to overthrow the republic or to dismember the reich remains to be determined, but the will for either is present. Patriotism in a national sense is largely an absent quantity. The Germans have no such feel-niwii it ui.ir to ki' mirmiiiinir ing as exists among the French or Hritish. Their course for five,;;;- ""humin yoars has demonstrated that they have no appreciation of na tional honor. Occupation of the liuhr outraged them not that it was an invasion of their soil hut that it tended to thwart their plans for carrying on business while at the same time evading pay ments on reparations. The present republican government is striving to maintain na tional unity hut it is a difficult task when unity makes hut a fee ble appeal. Were the separatists to win and the reich he broken up claims for reparations would become worthless but France might be willing to exchange one for the other.
