Ihere can be no more important business before a nation at war than the en rollment of its citizens who are available to bear arms. Dut when congress coupled with this eventful day the day pre ceding, and took adjournment for Monday also in honor of the Confederate Veterans who were that day opening their annual encampment at the capital, conflicting emotions are aroused in the American mind. We doubt if a similar circum stance could happen in any other capital in the world. Cer tainly the German reichstag would not adjourn if the surviv ors of the revolution of 1 843 were to assemble in Berlin. It is doubtful if the British parliament would suspend its ses sions if the Sinn Fein were to hold a convention in London. Nor is it likely that the French chamber of deputies would put aside their labors if the remnants of the commune were to meet in Paris. There may be such a thing as carrying mag nanimity too far. Just now it is especially risky to do any thing which even remotely tends to encourage the latter-day Copperheads who are planning to resist the draft. These hare-trained folk believe themselves to be right and if they see congress paying undue honor to those who attempted to destroy the government half a century ago, who can say that they will not be prompted to further resistance in order that they may gain equal posthumous dignity for themselves. This is a time to emphasize loyalty and to frown upon treason, no matter how historic it may have become. JUDGE VV. L. BRAOSHAW FROM HEART FAILURE AND THE DEMAGOG CONTINUES TO ORATE Politicians and reformers agitate for conservation of oil land for future generations and produce on oil famine now, They hammered the railroads until for three years out of the past ten years the railroads were in the red. They secured all kinds of laws excluding common labor from our country until no more land is being cleared of brush. For lack of equipment that they could not order a few years ago, they are short of cars and engines. The eastern car manufacturers have all been occupied mak ing war supplies and could not fill orders for equipment So there is Coming about a shortage of coal, oil, wood and labor to harvest the crops and until the people cut out the dem agog matters will grow worse. The Southern Pacific company announces that western states may look for a fuel famine, as coal, oil and wood sup plies wf 1 be short. Dearth of coal is due to shortage of labor in the coal mines shortage of ships for coastwise and foreign coal and lack o equipment for rail transportation. And yet the people will listen to the demagog who produces no oiL mines no coal, builds no ships or railroads and chops no cordwootL PORTLAND, Oi, June JO.-After being overborn by a sudden attack of heart failure, William U llrad.haw.

DE PALMA MAKES 110 E HARDING HITS HOME The habit of administration senators and representatives to assume a monopoly of the patriotism in the country simply because they "stand by the president" has been held up to the public in its true light by Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, '1 think in making the world safe for democracy," remarks Senator Harding, "we ought to make a contribution in our country by making democracy safe for the American people by puttiag patriotism above partisanship in times like these." Those words were uttered in commenting upon a speech made In the recent congressional campaign in New Hampshire by Senator James Hamilton Lewis who told the voters that a vote for the Republican candidate would be a vote for 'the kaiser, for Germany, and for our country's enemies. Senator Hard ing deplores that such an attitude should be assumed by any one, and the decisive victory of the Republican candidate in that state indicates that the people are not absorbing argu ment8 of that kind. GROW BEET SEED If the farmers refuse, it is up to the sugar companies to grow beet seed to meet our increasing demand. We have been dependent mainly upon Russia for our supply since the war began, but today the supply from that source is uncertain. Prior to the war we purchased large quantities from Germany, our reliance upon that source being such as to discourage the production here, because Germany could offer it for sale cheaper than we could grow it. When production in this coun try is undertaken it should be fostered, and the foster-mother of nearly all successful industry in this country in time of peace is the protective tariff. Beet seed will stand a tariff of a cent or two a pound. Let's have it and raise our own seed from now on. CHICAGO, June 19. Elimination trials for the automobile derby to be run at the speedway Saturday contin ued today with 11 or more cars ready to complete their time trials. The ellm InaUons were started yesterday. The fastest time made In the trials yesterday was shown by Ralph D Palma, who covered a two-mile lap at the rate of 110 miles an hoar. Louis Chevrolet was second with 107.S miles an hour; Barney Oldfleld third at 107.4 miles an hour, and Joe Thomas fourth with an average speed of 107.1 miles an hour. BIGGEST JUMP OF WOODROW'S MITE The President has "done his bit" by subscribing for $1 0,000 worth" of the Liberty Loan. He says he wishes the subscrip tion were larger. But it is large enough. This is probably not the last loan which the war will require, and Mr. Wilson will have his chance to come again. In proportion to his salary, the President's subscription is about the same as that of the clerk or the mechanic who buys a $50 or $ 1 00 bond. He could hardly do less; and nobody will expect him to do more. WASHINGTON. June 19. Retail food prices In the United States Jumped on an average of 9 per cent between March 15 and April 16, as shown In statistics compiled by the department of labor.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS; IS tu of In BOULDER. Colo, June I Need of aattstance from America In the fight agalnat tuberculosis In the French army, was set forth by Dr. Llvlns- ton Farrand, president of the l'nl veraity of Colorado and director of the mlaalon to be sent to France by the Rockefeller Foundation. In a statement he made before leaving for Paris. Dr. Farrand waa 10 years eie- cutive sorretary of tbe National asso ciation for the study and prevention tuberculosis- 'The French death rate from berculosla Is, roughly, twice that America and three time that of Kn land, aald Dr. Farrand. "Normally, France has a high death rate and lo birth rate, and with the Increase tuberculosis brought about hy the war. It la evident that something must be done and without delay. "It Is estimated In reports to th Rockefeller foundaUon that 150.000 soldiers have been discharged from the French army because of active tuber culosls. Nor Is this condition confined to the army. Refugee from the oc cupied districts of Northers France are breaking down In large numbers and the French prisoners returned from Germany show a high percent sge. A special commission has been created to care for tubercular soldiers. This work la of the greatest Import ance and must go on. Conservative estimates Indicate 500.000 cases In the country. It obvious that whatever preventives measures can be laid down, an Im mediate need is for hospital aecom modatlona, and there la no more pa tnetlc appeal to which wealthy Amerl cans could respond. The extension of Infectious dls eases In one land In these days Is menace to all. So you see, while we shall b fighting the battle against tuberculosis on the first line there In France, we shall really be fighting America's battle as well. The fundamental Idea behind the Rockefeller foundation In going Into this work Is not one of relief. It Is ish to co-operate in working out system for tbe prevention of tuber culosls and tbe development of public health In general. We are going to France to place at ber disposal such experience as wo have bad in the United States." O A.
