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 occurredjto us to in clude the senator in this particular class, and to have any of his friends think that the shoe fits, is a mild surprise.- Inde pendence Monitor. We were under the impression that the Monitor was slyly hitting1 Senator Cham berlain because he stood on the side of the big" corporations by voting against the proposition that the excess war profits pay most of the expense of the war. Woodburn Independent. Because over sixty senators "stood on the side of the big corporations by voting against the proposition that the excess warN profits pay most of the expenses of the war" strengthens our origi nal contention that "any movement to eliminate the rule of the political boss and corporation hire ling has some merit" IRRIGATION AND DAIRYING Here in the Willamette valley we are beginning to make a little progress in the direction of estab lishing the dairy industry on a commercial scale. We cannot be said to have made more than beginning, but it Is a beginning that promises much. We find, however, that our principa handicap id costly feed. The dairyman who has plenty of fairly cheap feed is in a Rood way to make money, while the one who has not is quite certain to lose. Corn, clover, kale and the silo are helping out with the feed problem, but if to these could be added abundant pasture through the entire summer sea son the dairyman's problem would be greatly simplified. This applies not only to the dairyman but to the general stock raiser. The agricultural colleges cf several Middle Western states have been doing a great deal of experimenting: recently with ir rigated pastures, and the results are a little startling. In even the most favored sections of the Mississippi valley and in the most favorable seasons at that, one head of stock to an acre of junirrigated pasture is considered i as doing very well indeed, but j with irrigation it has been found that an acre of pasture can be made to keep at least four head Anyone who has compared irri gated ana unirrigated lawns in the Willamette valley knows that our experience would not be greatly different. It is undoubtedly true that good crops can be raised here without irrigation, but it is also most certainly true that as crop insurance irrigation would pay good returns on the investment as times goes by we must pay more and more attention to arti ficial watering. Eugene Regis ter. While we do not for a moment think anyone is disloyal or guilty of treason for so doing, it ap pears to us that this is not the time to argue the merits of the war. We are in it and as Mr. Bryan says, 'the only way out is straight thru." It appears that much of the future safety of the world depends upon giving the Kaiser a good beating and we should do it just as quickly as it can be done. Every punch that America gives ought to make Wilhelm grunt. If we can chase him off the throne and give the German people the opportunity to govern themselves, our effort for thebettermentof mankind hasnotbeen in vain.

BUTTER WRAPS At the MONITOR OFFICE Teddy, the Terrible, is now out placing the brand of "traitor" upon certain distinguished gentlemen, the most prominent one of which he has had a grudge against for years. If treason is what Roosevelt says it is, he had better read some of his own speeches in which he is poisoning the minds of the people" against the government by underhanded insinuations that politics kept him from trointr to hurope at the head of a division. v I v a, He has also commenced to tell how Germany but forgets to mention how Japan. An editorial written by Marse Henry Watter son of the Louisville Courier-Journal entitled, "A Son of a Gun from Bitter Creek," has wandered out to Oregon, been adopted by a half dozen news papers and presented as original Oregon stock.
