The Red Cross is a thorough­ ly organized humanitarian So­ ciety. knowing no race, creed or nationality, but administering to the suffering wherever found. In times of war it is so closely allied with the military as to become an auxiliary of it. At other times it is a great civilian organization extending relief to people in regions stricken bv earthquake, fire, plague, and kindred calamities. This week the Society is en- gaged throughout the nation in an effort to raise $100,000,000 to be used in War Relief work. Every house in Portland will be visited in behalf of this fund. Men of wealth and influence are not only giving large sums but are also giving their time for the week to help raise Portland’s portion of the fund. We hope the people of the Mt Scott Dis­ trict will consider this question carefully. When they have done so we know they will not be found wanting. We can not give large sums but each one doing his part will make a sum which will help materially and be a credit to the District — J. A. D. Non-Partisan League. We are to have an attempt made to establish the non-partisan league in Oregon. It accomplished wonders in North Dakota, and has several wonders on the way. It is silly to elect state servants because they belong to one party or another along national lines. The jjeople of Oregon are silly to elect republicans, or demo­ crats. to assess their property, to administer their state affairs, to pass state laws, to regulate county or city matters. The democratic party in Oregon is simply the Federal push with some camp followers. It has no opinions on any state issues, and in reality no state organization. The republican party has nothing but the state and county officeholders to look to for direc­ tions, and a firm hope of being re­ turned to Federal power some sweet day. It has no state issues, and like the democratic officeholders, and crumb catchers, it is afraid of any. It has no reason for exist­ ence so far as principles go, any more than the democratic party. There are live issues. Ask any officeholder to discuss them and see him wiggle and twist and back and shy, like a two-year-old colt at a red umbrella. So perhaps we will have a non­ partisan movement with a live platform. It is going well in ten other states. It will make the political life of some of our stat« officeholders a wild night­ mare. The first effect of its mere threat to take root is to awaken the state administration to the necessity of selling those farm loan bonds. Maybe they will get busy. The state Grange proposes to go after the fish and game official excerscence on the body politic. It is of no more use than a wart on a boy’s thumb, and when it gets as big as the thumb it is sure­ ly time to operate on it. The fish and game graft in Oregon has gotten to be almost as big an institution as the rest of the state government. out among trilw-s and nation»; 1 from spending We can see right now that if , tiomsl i>ro|»-rty rights wen- establish»«!. society Wliat would the world do without its this restrictive diet business goes came into la-mg. and chaos gav«> way to -pendllirift» 1 They limy carry a virtue much farther there will be a law and order. to an extreme, but aa to the effect on number of failures among the I am the farm. tlu< mine and the buaineM, better far that than th»» ' hoarding of the iniaer.
