We do not share the view of our anonymous correspondent. 1 he soldier in camp, in the trenches, on patrol or picket finds a com oanionshio in his pipe that pulls him thru many monfal ctmo-orle.

"The governor does not have the right to remove a member of the legislature. I am satisfied that Eaton is a loyal citizen, and that his motives in participating in the People's Council of reace at Chicago were honest, but indiscreet." Thus does Governor Withycombe answer the demands of certain Lane county citizens who asked for the removal of Allen Eaton as a member of the legislature. As the late Senator Harry Lane was persecuted so it looks as if Allen Eaton would be. Lane county appears to be the home of a number of zealous citizens who allow their patriotism to be autocratic rather than democratic. In the opinion of the Newport News, "with two Republicans like McNary and Olcott on the ticket" the Monitor's "reference to the old machine is strictly out of order." But before either McNary or Olcott gets on the ticket they will have to whip the "old machine", as the News calls it. The News must not permit itself to be come so optimistic as to believe that the stand pat faction will accept either McNary or Olcott with out the liveliest primary scrap in the history of the state. Our Newport friend should keep his powder dry and be ready. Any movement to eliminate the rule of the political boss and corporation hireling has some merit. Monitor. In this effusion our esteemed contem porary must be making some reference to Senator Chamberlain. Woodburn Independent. We had no particular individual in mind and it had not occurred to us to include the senator in this particular class, and to have any of his friends think that the shoe fits, is a mild surprise. The Oregonian had two violent eruptions last week concerning Secretary of the Navy Daniels, and there were like occurences in other parts of the country at the same time. These outbursts occur at frequent intervals, but Josephus, the sailor, heedeth them not. Mr. Daniels evidently is confident that the people prefer that he stay on the job and continue to confine the munitions and steel makers to a reasonable profit. "I don't know how long the war will last," says W. J. Bryan, "but 1 know that the quickest way out is straight thru." That's it; good teamwork, a few effective smashes and the kaiser's war will be over. The Safeguard By PETER G. TISDALE I was dining with my friend Ed ward J, Emerson and his wife when the news caiuv that tlie Chinese people were vibrating between a monarch and a republic. Emerson was a cler K.vinuu and bad done ten yearn' mis sionary work among the Celestials. I BHkt lilm if In his opinion the Chinese were fitted for a free government. "So people," be replied, "are fitted for a free govern merit except those who have reached a hijru degree of In- tulliKt-ure. There are a few Chinese who are up to the standard of our rch! era civilization, but there are mil lions at them who are sunk In the most alijo't superstition. When I first went to China I bad a good deal to lcurn alxtut l!:e people there. I was noon io- Itliited. I to you see that paper? He pointed to a scrap of paper about 8 by 10 Inches In size banging ou the w all. On It were written C'hluese char acter. 'That paper," he continued, "ac counts for tnj being here at this mo ment. Without It I would not hara been here. Koon after entering upon uiy work In China I fell in with a Tery Intelligent mandarin who seemed to take a liking to nie. I believed that If I could make a Christian of blm ha would lnfluonce others, and I set about the work of his conversion. Ha ap peared to be very much interested In whut I wilil to him, but I could not bring lilm to the point of declaring himself a Christian. I believed, bow- ever, that it wag because by doing ao he would tiring down upon himself the iiHtheiuas of bis people. "One day he called a bait on ourcon- ersatlous. Something was in the wind, but I could not tell what it waa. In bulmnir nrileu to me be banded me that slip of paper you see hanging on the wall, telling me that If I got into trouble with Ills people to produce it nd it would protect me from harm. Being new to the country, 1 did not un inland what wan written on it I ol.led if and nut It in my pocket. "It wax not Ion',' after this that tha lilnese coin mm people cave vent to their hiitred of the fi. reign devils In one of those mussacfes wlileli from time to time have occurred in that benighted land. Ode morning I was horrltled by one of my converts telling me .with feur a fill trembling that in a distant village the heathen Imd killed all the foreigner and hundred of converts. "That day ull the converts at the sta tion went nwuy, I knew uot where, but I perceived tliey were biding from the wruth to conic, for It was not likely that the niassnno of which we bad heard would Ih the lust of the move ment. "Mrs. Emcrnon and I had been mar ried only Just previous to our departure from America, mid none of our little ones hud then come to us. The ques tion was whether we should remain where we wero or go elsewhere. Wo decided that we were an safe where we were ns In uur other locution. Our station nilnht not lie attacked, while another to which we would tlee might go down under the mob of Infuriated Bends, so we concluded to remain. "Every day, at last every hour, we beard of massacres nearer and nearer to us. Rut when the storm came it broke all at once. One morning I heard a distant din, and very soon a howling mob ch me down the street "The mind In a queer working bodily Implement, and since what it did for me on that eventful morning I hava felt sure that there Is a lot about it that we don't understand. I bad put the paper the ninmlurlii bud given me In a tin hot where I kept other docu ments and bud forgotten all about it Suddenly us I heard those yells and shrieks It pnpHd Into my head. I re membered its donor had told me that If I got Into trouble with bis people to produce It. "I went to th tin box that contained it, took It out and unfolded It. You see that It Is large i-noiii;h to he read from some distance. The point with me was how to enable the limb to see It audi what It waa before they murdered me. We were on tho lower tloor. My wife was as white as a sheet, and I confess I was no more self possessed. My hands trembled ao that I could scarce ly hold the paper. I ran to the window and placed It on a pane, the writing out toward the street. "There 1 stood while the bloodcurd ling yell came nearer and nearer. My wife, womanlike, ran to the door and locked It. No protection was thus af forded, for one kick would hava broken It open. Presently I saw the scattered ad vance ot the mob coming like white clouds shooting up In the sky before a hurricane. Tnu came a man bespat tered with the blood of his fellow men, and be made straight for tlieuris slou. I saw by the eiprvshon of his face that he knew It was the residence of the hated missionary. He was In stantly joined hy others, all making for the door. One turned the knob, but while doing so ks w the paper I was holding against the window. He stop ped short and ioluted to the paper. All read It, p: used and passed on. Others came and woudered why the station had not tvn destroyed tlli they saw the paper. "I held it thus for half an hour, dreading lest some fiend sb nld murder ds before seeing It Wbtu the last man had gone ty 1 called to my wire to bring me some pane and Used It on the pane."
