Real patriots are those who see America first, last and all the time. Bathing girls are picture 1 this sea son are wearing liberal smiles and not much else. The pacification of Mexico isn’t such a large ordor for a nation that built the Panama canal. And then there’s Carranza. He is undoubtedly wishing as much as any body that he knew what was going to happen. About 58 percent of the Mexican people have an idea they’re getting ready for a bull fight. John D. Rockefeller has bought a new s jit of clothes. Well, may ye shiver, ye owners of motorcars, shiver! Carranza’s obstinacy is no longer mentioned in terms of reproach bv Villa. It may be a relief to a hard-worked ball moose to find that he is not re quired to pull an entire band wagon withou> assistance. A national guardsman is compelled to admit that no amount of patriotic enthusiasm will enable him to impro vise a blanket, a cot or even a tin cnp. RAILROAD WAGES Shall they be determined by Industrial Warfare or Federal Inquiry? Do you believe in arbitration or indus trial warfare? The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service— your service. This army of employes is in the public service—your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On all the Western railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average of all) as shown by the pay rolls— Freight Paai.ng.r Ran«« Avara«« $1747 $2195 3094 Eagiaeers Yard Av«rag« $1537 $2071 3076 Rang« Average $1056 $1378 2445 Ceadactors 1543 2789 1878 1454 2933 1935 1151 2045 1355 . 1053 2078 1317 751 2059 1181 418 1552 973 967 874 1961 1135 862 1821 1107 Firemen 854 1719 »«MK Brakeaea The average yearly wage payments to all Western train cm- ployes (including those who worked only part of the year) as shown by the 1915 payrolls were— Passenger Freight Yard $2038 $1737 $1218 Conductors 1772 1624 1292 . 1218 973 832 Brakemen. 921 1000 1026 Engineers . Firemen A 100 million < dollar wage increase for men in freight and yard service (less than one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per cent advance in all freight rates. I'he managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This offer has been refused by the employes' representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Gov ernment determine this issue?

When we survey conditions in Europe and the disgraceful conditi ns in Mexico that last clause seems m re a prophecy than a legend Surelv it m 1st have been a divine genius who foresaw that wars would bo perpetual among men until all that was evil, all that was common and unclean was bred out of mankind. Our “peace at any price” advocates should recall t mt cld legend and ask themselves if they think the time is really ripe to conclude that all antagonisms can be settled without an appeal to other than moral forces. It is not nature’s wav. Oar earth, when first created, was in tended for man’s abode. But min at that time had no existence save in the mind of God, and the earth was rent by inconceivable storms, convulsions that shivered over and over its outer crust; glaciers were set in flow which were to grind their way for centuries along the mountain tops to make soil out of which should grow food for the animal life tlat was to be—it was an infinite preparation and all the forces employed were fierce ones. From the first man has been going through a like course of preparation and looking over the lands where most enlightment existed two years ago, the lesson that comes back to U3 is, that men and nations are yet a long way from ac cepting the rule of justice and mercy and love.—Goodwin’s Weekly. 1 «FDDON. 1 k-<-/'r».i<kn4, 9«-aboard Air I ine Railway. Grants Pass, Or., July 25—The city council has ordered the city attorney to file suit for the collection or' a $1000 bond, given by the public service cor poration to guarantee the supplyino* of electric current to this city, and de clared forfeited, under the terms of the ordinance, when the corporation failed to install its wires within the time limit. The corporation was given the franchise by popular vote last summer after an arduous campaign on promise to install at least two miles of wires and furnish electric current for municipal and domestic u<e at a very material reduction below the prices charged by the California-Ore gon company. Thousands of dollars have been spent by the corporation on dams and power sites at Gold Hill and near this city. The time limit for in- stalling wires in this place, under the fraachise expired on April 1, lest and after several extensions of time, the council declared the bond forfeited at last Saturday’s session, and the order to collect it went forth. ------------------- ---------------------------- First Shipment Of Soda Ash Goes Out Bend.

Attempted Break At State Prison Foiled Salem, Or., July 26. —Alertness on the part of Waruen Minto and his staff prevented the escape of two prisoners from the penitentiary early Monday morning, it developed here today.

It American manufacturers can turn out 400 complete machine guns a week for foreign governments, how manv, inspired by patriotism, can they supply their own country? The instinct of self preservation may tempt Carranza to prefer the attacks of United States soldiery to those of treacherous mutineers in his own country.
