At least Uncle Sam is getting plenty
of exercise in his military elbow.
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

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—

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?

A RULE STILL IN FORCE
In Greece and Rome twenty five
mdred years ago, a legend that had
cn repeated so long that it had tak-
>n I he form of real history, told about
he c alien of the world and to it was
a lded the further statement that when
the work or creation was scur:ely
inishrd a great war with the Titans
broke out and raged with consuming
‘ rce i' ir a long time, and turther that
t w.<uki be renewed from time to time
r nigh the ages until perfect harm my
a not Id be st cured.
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.

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. Or., July 25—The first ship

Three three-ton trucks have arrived
and will be used for the present to
I convey the output f r< m Spreckels to

by way of Bend will begin within the
next few weeks.
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.
The two had cut their way from the
cells into a corridor, it is said, and
they were there apprehended by the
officials. A brace and bit and a saw
were used by the convicts to cut their
way out of the cells, it is reported,
and these tools were found by the
officials.
