WEARY OF REFORM.
Mayor Hylan of New York, who
vaulted Into national fame by debat
ing Mayor Mitchel and most of the
"uplift" forces of the metropolis, has
another claim to distinction. He has
announced: "We have had all the re-j
form we want in thla city for some
time to come." j
Thla la more than might have been
expected even from a Tammany may
or. Indeed, it haa usually been con
sidered good Tammany policy to do
a certain amount of "pandering to
the moral sense of the community."
Boss Murphy himself, a couple of
yeara ago, declared tor 'the uplift"
Mayor Kylan's words, taken liter
ally, would indicate a mournful slump
In civic ideals. Dut the utterance
shouldn't be taken too seriously. 11
probably represents nothing more than
a rather natural reaction against civic
reform propaganda characterised more
by aeal than by brains. Possibly the
"uplift" has really been overdone in
New York. It haa tn some cities. That
Is to aay, certain groups of "profes
sional reformers' have made them
selves obnoxious, not so much because
of what they wanted as because of
the way they went about It
As for whatever has been genuine
in municipal reform, we may rest as
sured that it will continue. No elec
tion, no official or group of oficlals,
can turn back the hands of the clock.
If an administration la not so good as
lta predecessor, gauged by our new
standards of publtc service, it's pretty
sure to be a big Improvement on the
one before laat And any slump means
a bigger leap forward next time to
ward the goal ot administhative hon
esty and eficlency.
New York isn't really weary of re
form. No city Is, because no Ameri
can city has yet got enough reform
which ia to say, enough modern pro
gress. An even the Hylans are likely
to more things forward, in obedience

support of our government in the suc
cessful prosecution of its most worthy
war alms, for the encouragement, pro
tection and comfort ot those who have
placed their lives upon the altar of
sacrifice for their country's defense,
for the conservation of resources and
for such unselfish denials as the rul
ing forces of the nation have deemed
necessary to the ends and purposes
of the nation's participation lu the in
ternational conflict says the Salem
Statesman. Every cltlien of this
state must feel proud of what Oregon
haa done In answer to every call
to the Red Cross, to the voluntary en
listment of its fighting forces, to the
Liberty Bond subscription, to the Y.
M. C. A., and to every form of appeal
that calls tor generous response and
sacrifice, and in that pride let us
not forget to place a large sharg of
the credit where It belongs, for the
condition ot the public mind and con
science which made such achieve
menta possible. It is but justice to
say that the fine precept and example
of our patriotic Governor, James
Wlthycombe, exhibited and expressed
earnestly and vigorously on all occa
sions. have been most powerful agen
ciea in spurring and encouraging our
people to do the very best that is in
them, and it ia also safe to Bay that

A VICTORY RECIPE.
"Most everybody is telling us how
to win the war. Every man or woman
with a hobby Is working It for all It's
worth. Most of the suggestions are
good in their way, but partial and
fragmentary. About the best thing
of the sort we've seen is a little ex
hortation credited to Mr. Hoover, the
food administrator:
"Go back to the simple lite. He
contented with simple food, simple
pleasures, simple clothes. Work hard,
pray hard, play hard. Work, eat, rec
reate and sleep. Do It all courageous
ly."
That's sound common sense. It
deals with fundamentals. It pretty
nearly covers the whole ground. And
it's value isn't confined to the war.
Faithfully followed. It would mean vic
tory In our present undertaking, and
success in all undertakings.
NO ROSE WATER WAR.
THE FATE OF THE RAILROADS.
The presidents of the big railroad
systems are worried about the status
or the properties they represent They
want to know more definitely what
the government is going to do with
them. The law under which the roads
passed into public control provides
that this control shall continue until
the end ot the war and that congress
shall then determine what disposition
shall be made of them. The railroad
presidents want congress to deter-
to the compelling spirit of the time, "mine the matter now, deciding just
whether they know it or not how long tne present regime is to last
. . after the war, and whether the roads

to be public ownership and permanent
government control. And in any
DEMANDED.
The great drive on the western front
last April, when Hindenburg retreated
and forty German army corps were
put out of commission, was frustrated t
by the interference or the politicians.
French Senators meddled with the
great campaign and the result was
that what might have been the decis
ive battle ot 1917 was not and now
the cause is found to have been politics.
It is a lesson for our country that
should teach the people to demand
patriotism instead of party service, to
demand that men or the highest type
serve in public office for honor and
duty's sake.
The President is still calling fpr
men like Coppef King Jackling, who
has taken the post of Chief of the Ex
plosives department for a dollar a
year, to serve the nation in its time
of necessity.
Thousands of such men are giving
their time to the nation to help solve
tie great problems developed by the
war period, and the people should fol
low the example and demand the high
est type in state afairs.
Popular government ia at stake.
Taxes must be kept down. Industries
must be kept coins. This is not the
time for the demagog and selfish plot
ter to get his hand into the pockets of
the taxpayer.
Men must be found to go to the leg
islature and to serve in city and coun
ty governments whose minds are
above the shady trickery of spoils poli
tics, and the indecency of 6tirring up
class hatred.
The call for service as a patriotic
duty in state and nation is urgent and
is voiced by the press of the whole
country give us tho new type of pub
lic servant who forgets self-interest
It is argued that we should not de
clare war upon the Turk lest he fall
upon our missionaries within his
realm, lest he take over and destroy
our schools, colleges and hospitals
within his reach, lest he be moved to
another massacre ot the Armenians
as being the nearest to Americans
whom he can get at. These, of course
are the chances of war. We doubt if
there are many missionaries now in
Turkey; and in any event If we are
to shrink from war because of the
danger which it may bring to any
Americans In their person or their
property, we might as well chuck the
whole game. War is not made with
rose water.
MORE CALF IN AMERICA.
REPUBLICAN MASS PLAY
CARRY SENATE.
CAN
The outlook for Republican control
of the Senate after March 4, 1919, is a
bright one. As the membership now
stands the Democrats have 51, the
Republicans have 43, and there are
two vacancies, Newlands, of Nevada,
and Husting, of Wisconsin, which
give the Republicans opportunities for
adding to their strength which they
would not have had otherwise until
1921, when the terms of those Sena
tors would have expired. The present
Democratic majority can be wiped out
and the control given to the Repub
licans if those vacancies can be won
and four other Democrats ousted from
their seats at the next election. This
is assuming, of course, that the pres
ent Republican strength can be held
intact. At the present time there are
five States in the North, having Dem
ocratic Senators, that ought to be re
turned to the Republican column. In
addition there is a chance to gain a
seat In Colorado, and a determined
fight is to be made to capture the seat
now occupied by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, one of tho authors of
the tariff law now on the statute
books. In 1901 there was a Republi
can Senator from that State, and the
strong Protectionist sentiment pre
vailing there Is to be appealed to again
to send a man of that faith to the
Senate.
If the Republicans should hold their
own, and make the gains that they
have a right to expect, the next Sen
ate will number 51 or possibly 52 Re
publicans, and 45 or 44 Democrats,
leaving a margin 'of three States to
penult of errors' in the estimate.
THE 8TA,TE'S PATRIOTISM.
case, they would like to have more de
tails. The only answer that can be given
at this time, and for some time to
come, is that nobody knows what is
going to be done with the railroads, or
what ought to be done with them.
The government has taken charge of
them because a great public emerg
ency made that revolutionary step
necessary. The war drove us to it
The war has driven us to many dras
tic steps, and will drive us to many
more before we get through. And so
will the conditions we shall have to
face when peace comes.
For the new peace will not be a
duplicate of the old. This war chang
es nearly everything. Th economic
conditions in which we shall find our
selves when the struggle is finished
will be diferent from anything we
have ever experienced. We do not
know what they will be. We shall
have to wait and find out.
Moreover, the public attitude will be
different. Even if we assume that
future business conditions can be fore
told, we cannot tell now what we shall
want to do then, what policies we shall
favor with regard to our public utili
ties and our big industries.
The only thing to do is to wait
meeting emergencies as they arise
from momant to moment, as intelli
gently as possible, and trusting to
events to show us the way in the
future as they have in the past What
ever happens, we must travel with
the current of events, and not fight
against it.
So tha railroad men are wasting
their time in asking for definite as
surances of future public policy. If
they simply settle down to the immedi
ate, practical task of operating their
lines to the best of their ability, they
may trust the future to take care of
itself. Of one thing they may be sure
neither government nor public will
treat them or their properties unfairly.
Under government regulation the
women of England are permitted to
have shoes which are six and three
quarter Inches high. By the associ
ated shoe dealers ot the country It is
proposed to fix the limit for America
at eight and three-quarter Inches. Of
course, everything Js higher here than
in Europe.
George Bernard Shaw talked like the
real Irishman that he Is when he told
the Fabian society that "when the
kaiser drew the sword he staked every
acre ot territory and every penny, and
when we went in on the other side we
did the same. Whoever loses will have
to pay. You may take it from me that
it the Germans beat us In this war they
will skin us alive. If we beat the Ger
mans we shall skin them alive, and we
cannot help doing It" Here Is a form
ula for peace which all can understand.

Of rights divine vested in Csars, my

And by assiduous care I thought to

Alas, for there, like mown or troddon
grass.
It bled, then grew more vital thnn
before.
And found at last fertile soil and
more
Congenial clime and a much safer port
Within my palace and my royal court.
Hut sitting on this stump, whipped by
the cold
Frost ladened winds, I see I could
have sold
My royal crown for an immortal niche
Within man's wonderous halt ot fame,
with which
I could have won the love of every
heart
In Russia. Never once saw I the mart
Of sacrifice is where I could have
bought
This treasure dear: With soul, by
love, untaught
I could not read the writing on the
wall
Which plainly said, "Autocracies must
fall."
And now dear cousin William, heed
my word.
Cast off your crown and lay aside
your sword;
Dissolve your relschstage. for the
time has come
When weights Uke these cannot be
borne as some
Divinely given privilege. Vacate
Your throne and let the people rule.
Tls late.
But not too late to join in freedom's
fight
And help all Europe gain man's great
birthright
Of true Democracy; thus win the
crown
Of royal true and undefiled renown

District Attorney Hedges, who is the
government appeal agent lu the draft
work, Friday reculved advices from the
provost marshal's office to appeal all
cases where deforr-Jd classification is
allowed by the local board to regis
trants who have married slnco June B,
1917,
These instructions Indlcala that
those who claim dependency on this
ground will stand but small chance
to obtain deferred classification, where
marriage has occurred since registra
tion day Inst June. It Is evidently
the purpose ot the government to scru
ttnlte all such claims very carefully,
and the appeal agent is Instructed to
take an Immediate appeal for the gov
ernment In all such cases.
Clerk Harrington stated that there
had been approximately 450 class I
classifications made to date and about
100 others. There are still about 3000
classifications to be made and the
board has a big task shea) at best.
The reason so many Class ! registrants
have been acted upon Is that the gov
ernment asks these be prepared first.

Georgia. The tubereulosfa board re
ported that some of the men had the
disease before being drafted, while
some of them contracted it in camp.
Lack of thorough physical examina
tion was responsible for the accept
ance of the first, lack of sanitary en

The Browning machine gun, after a
year's delay, was adopted as the type
of weapon for the American army. It
will be several months yet before any
of the guns can be delivered. The
Browning gun has never 'had a trial
in actual field conditions of warfare;
but Secretary Baker defends his se
lection by saying that Browning, who
devised the gun, has taken out more
patents on fire arms than any other
person. This may be true. In fact In
Europe, the name Browning is eo close
ly connected with fire arms that In
some quarters notably in Russia it'
is an almost Invariable custom to
speak of a revolver as a "Browning." j
Yet this does not Insure that the
Browning machine gun is superior to
the Lewis a purely American gun
or the Vlckers-Maxlm, which s like
wise of American origin; while both
of these two latter guns have had am
ple trial at the front and might have
been procured in much less tlue than
the comparatively unknown Browning.
Moreover, the number of patents 'which
Browning holds may stamp him as a
genius, but they do not necessarily
nake his devices practical The pat
ent office at Washington Is full ot
models of motor3 that won't mote, of

Its easy to get money; if you go

way is by using the classified columns

Tuesday noon a gentleman whose

"I want to borrow some money."
He was referred to the bank the of-

Quick as a flash came back the re

"I want a long term loan, insert this
