Its feelings have been greatly hurt by the Journal's fight on the delinquent tax law, but it will make no friends for itself or injure the Journal by con tinuing the war. You need only to put your ear to the ground to learn that a large majority of tbe people are with the journal; not that they would go as far as the Journal but they want a change in the law. Then perhaps the Journal may turn I its searchlight upon the "Willamette Valley Edi- jtorial Association". It might insist on knowing jhow many newspaper publishers in the Willa mette valley are members of the Association, how many of its members endorse the delinquent tax law as it stands today, and worse, it might de mand to know why the newspaper "committee" at the last session of the legislature spent a por tion of its time lobbying for and against measures that did not concern newspapers.

Every man will he listed, and ol'ito Hite his name will lie his ae. trade, military experience and family respon sibility. Every factory will lie listed. X P4 u : 7 vv-t From the present world war, great good will come to all mankind. Over the ashes of de stroyed homes and the graves of millions slain, the people of all enlightened countries will come to themselves. They will take over the reigns of government and banish forever many of the class privileges that has made them not much better than slaves. And there will be no more great wars; at least not without the consent of those who must bear the burden of it. When nations can no longer ware war merely tor tne oenent 01 financial interests, then the people have won for themselves the greater share of the right of self government. 4H 'K- : -iTf. I rX.-W Under the new cigarette law which goes into effect in May, it shall be the duty of the mayor, marshal or any other ofhcial to approach every minor seen smokinir a cigarette and demand where he got the ' makings". If the boy reveals the name of the guilty party, the officer must pro ceed at once to cause the arrest of the culprit. If the boy refuses to tell, he must be taken before a court of justice and fined. Now, how many officials will obey this law? Not many, we are thinking. The law is all right and should be en orced. but like all law enforcement, wnat is everybody's business is nobody's business. Peace advocates and so-called pacifists 6f any ufluence have accepted the inevitable that a re sort to war is the only remedy. Ihey will do what they can for their country, loyally upholding it against the enemy. Equal zeal on the part of those who advocate war tor financial train is oped for. Within a week the United States and Germany will undoubtedly be at war. May such a war be hort, all American wrongs righted, and may we lity rather than coudemn the German people, the nnocent and deceived tools of a war mad crown, In Lane county it is proposed to change the name of the county because the present senator bears the same name as his illustrious grandfather for whom the county was named.

Similarly every factory, large and small, is being listed separately.

If we are to serve bravely and ethcietitly we must ix'gin early and act promptly. Within an hour after tbe governor had finished speaking the bill providing for the census, approved by both houses, waa presented for bis signature. Traps tb Ntt $500. Hood i:ier. ltre.-l K.
