PORTUNO, rmDAV, NOVEMBER 5, 1913. WASTED EFFORT. Defeat in New York of the pro posed constitution by a vote greater than two to one does not leave much room for speculation as to what par ticular element, faction or influence had the most to do with its failure. Probably it may " be accurately said that it was too conservative 'to please the radicals and too radical to please the conservatives. As the lat ter greatly predominate in New York, the constitution presented a hopeless issue. In the light of" results, it is inter esting to inquire just what the peo- pie or New York had in mind when they authorized the constitutional convention. The existing constitution Is not one that calls for reaction. If progress were desired, it was offered in fairly moderate doses. The new constitution applied the short-ballot principle to state offices, centralized much gTeater authority In the Gov ernor., consolidated 152 commissions, bureaus and departments into seven teen, adopted the budget system, lim ited and regulated the number of ap peals in litigation in - an effort to shorten the law's delays, gave a larger measure of self-control to cities, and eliminated the political perquisite of Judges in the appointment of fee-paid court commissioners. The Republicans controlled the con stitutional convention with a two- iniras majority. Yet the constitu tion was not supported as a party measure. The Democratic delegates in large part approved the constitu tion on final adoption, but the Democratic party and Democratic newspapers largely opposed its adop tion at the polls. On the one hand the influence of Tammany was ex erted against the constitution because of its attempted eradication of invisi ble government. On the other hand it was opposed by labor leaders who had memorialized the convention to adopt the initiative, referendum, re call, the eight-hour day for state em ployes, to authorize state insurance against old age, sickness and unem ployment, to abolish capital nun- ishment and include other amend ments known in some sections as re forms and in others as the outnrinr- ings of radicalism. Aligned with these lnlluences in opposing the constitu tion were such party Progressives as oeorge w. Perkins and Gifford Pin cnor, wmie the two newspapers of Bull Moose tendencies, the Mail and oiooe, -were divided on the issue. . Altogether, the New York commu nity seems a hard one to please. Plum Tt.l.l.l.(; THROUGH PICTl'RES. "There is good acting in the motion pictures, too," says the dramatic critic of the Chicago Tribune. The recent doleful plaint of Mr. W. A. Bradv, the producer, that the advance of the pic iure piay means the death of the drama, is derided by the Tribune's professional play-goer; but he never- ineiess describes his own emotions over a well-known "movie" play in the following contradictory fashion: As it sat the other nluht witnessing- fc twelfth time that remarkable photo !'i" Btrth of a Nation.

It is sxn-onnri ing that the descendants of Thaddeus Stevens, if he has any, should toler ate without protest the libelous and disgraceful representation of his per sonal neahnesse. not to mention th esnica i epresemation of his po litical opinions and actions; and it speaks Well for the tolerance and good sense of the colored people that they co not rise en masse to prevent in anv possible way the contemptuous treat ment of their race. It may, indeed, be honed that the talents of the author of "The Birth of a iNation will some day be directed toward a picture project which will exalt patriotism, and not rebellion, and which will show the important events of American history in their true perspective and relations. PLOTTING AGAINST THE STOVE. Professional feminists have a fresh Idea. Once they attempted- to do '"y tn war. We suspect that their J tun-nun id war was based upon the - fact that armed strife serves to main tain male prestige in the world. Every tim these feminists got us to a point where we were ready to don skirts the red-fanged monster of war interposed its hideous head. This happened lately. The world was all but con verted to the principal tenets of rad ical feminism when someone touched a match to the international powder keg. Whereupon man became un manageable and feminism received an inglorious setback. Even those Lon don suffragette feminists haven't had the heart to murmur since. But to return to their fresh idea. The feminists having failed to abol ish war. are now looking forward to . the day of "abolishment of the fam ily cookstove. It is quite a let-down, to be certain. Yet if tho hand that rocks tha oradle cannot rule the world literally, why not, at least, a greater - measure of freedom from kitchen drudtery? It would allow more time lor propaganda. Mrs. Charlotte Per Kins Gilman, who advances the idea in a lecture on "The Larger Femin ism," contends that the plan is en tirely practical and that community kitchens will supplant the family i-ooKsiove in due time, moving from uoor to door in . trre manner of uerman -military kitchen, we take it in many respects, here i a greater victory in sight for the feminists than would be encompassed by establish ment of eternal peace at any price, inink of the great world problems mai would be solved thereby! No more soiled hands. No more long hot hours over the basting pan and skillet. No more hurrying home from a pleas ant aiternoon affair to get dinner. ivo more cross and cranky husband soured by indigestion. No more serv. ant problem to be fretted over. There is no end of grief that could be spared tne numan family by an end of. the lamuy cookstove. If women will solve this nmhi.n they will have qualified for the larger one. Man's tasks and chores are-all penormed by ingenious machines and devices. Vt oman's work alone re mains unsimplified, which would not be the case, we 'opine, were the tasks allotted to man, ingenious creature mat, ne is. , The feminists have dig ,PrE" ineir true field at last. On to tne community stove! THAT FLAG OF TRUCE. -ine La Grande Observer (Pro gressive) notes with satisfaction that ne Oregonian has "seen- fit to rais the "flag of truce" in the late warfare rjetween the two wings of the Repub lican party, and it intimates that terms can no doubt be arranged under its protecting folds for a complete reunion. Being in a great good humor over tne mellowing influence of recent political events. The Oregonian will find no fault withits La Grande neighbor's interpretation of its recent diniaoie expressions toward the Pro gressives. Certainly there i3 a common ground upon wnicn the re-amalgamation can De eneeted. Indeed, it has already been done pretty thoroughly. There are a tew stalwarts still at Armaged uoh iiKe ur. Henry Waldo Coe but his resolve to remain there will be viewed by all hands with general sat isfaction. The others have no doubt auout ineir course. T- V. '11. . . . ...c u)erver xninns that "many jr.ugieBsives win agree provided the xtepuDiican party in its National plat w.iii win mane a plank promising to coiaunn a non-partisan permanent tariff board or commission, with powd ers broad enough to collect eiene and compel uniform accounting from an wno Benefit by the tariff." j-uere win oe no trouble about thsi suggestion. The Republican platform of 1912 declared for a non-partisan in in Doaro. mere was such a board "MLB1 y ine much-revired Payne Aicinch act; but it lapsed through j-xuU.e OL a uemocratie Congress to yruviue lunos for its maintenance. The Progressive platform of 1912 "rau ior a tariff commission with powers ior Investigation and ac counting. It is a sound and practica ble suggestion. It ought not to be op posed anywhere. If the tariff and its revision is to be iiib principal issue dividing the par- ties in 1916, our Progressive friends will no doubt have a lively apprecia tion of the Democratic tariff failure through the Underwood act' and of general -uemocratic opposition to tariff board. GRIEF. No one has ever quite satisfactorily explained why the conversations and observations of old Sam Johnson, as recorded by the faithful Boswell, are so much more interesting than his lormai literary productions. Proba bly it is because he was himself a vastly diverting human document, with an amazing insight into life and experience and an immense and varied power of expression. Few read nn more wnat Johnson wrote but w nat ne said lives and is good for all iiuie- For example, on September 14 ii i i, ne was discussing with his irienus the familiar subject of grief. is put aown by Boswell in this wise The subject of arlef Tnr th. m.. 1 Hons and friends being- introduced.

Johnson, who propounded this sound pnnosopny, married a woman far older than he, but,, when she died, he did not forget her, for he did not re marry, though he lived for many years thereafter. Yet he never failed to speak of his wife with affection and emotion. YVKSTYVAICD ROW OF WEALTH. Exports' of the United States make new high records month by month and week by week, as shown by Com merce Department reports. The total for September was $297,766,750, or $141,714,417 more than for September, 1914, and $79. 526,749 more than for September, 1913. Imports were 1151.- 422.831, or $11,712,220 more than for September, 1914. and $19,662,013 less than for September, 1913. This gives an export balance of $146,343,919, or nine times that for the same month of last year, and only $41,693,371 less than that for the entire fiscal vear 1910. For the nine months endine- Spnlm. ber 30 the export balance was $1,227- :3,aU4, an increase of $1,170,000,000 over the corresponding period of 1914 and $821,256,417 over that of 1913. The balance grows rapidly week by ween, ror during tne week ending Oc tober 23 it was $70,609,000, or at the rate of more than $230,000,000 a mjpnth. As movement of foodstuffs and war munitions is growing in vol ume, tne total favorable trade balance for the calendar year will surely reach $2,000,000,000. and may verify nredlc- tions that it will reach $2,500,000,000. j xnis vast aeDt or. the world to the THE MORXIXG United States has naturally caused great flow of gold to this country. The net imports in September were $40, 008.658, and in the nine months end ing September $25 2,934,533. This com pares with a net export total of $117, 714,832 in the same period of 1914 an net exports of $2 7,879,671 in the first nine months of 1913. Wealth is pouring into the United states in a torrent. Though advanc mg prices of American railroad securi ties have stimulated sales in London to Americans, th BUthced to Offset the debt shinh . ...J..u C UVfc chases of food and war munitions pile up against Europe. At the present pace Europe's debt to the United btates already equals our debt to Eu rope. Another year of such trade as we are now having may wipe out our oeDt and leave Europe's debt standing at a larger ngure than the present. ONE OF OUR WEAK POlIfTS. A phase of the stibject of National defense which might prove of vital importance is discussed In the Manu facturers' Record. This is the prox imity of our war munition industries to tne Atlantic Coast and their con sequent exposure to capture in case of invasion. Practically the entire production o munitions and ships of war is con centrated In a narrow strip extending trom Connecticut and Virginia, aver aging less than 100 miles wide. There are our greatest armor-makine. now. der-making and ship-buildine nlanta If these were captured, the rest of tne country would be helpless, our steel works are dependent unon cuoan ore, wmch might be cut off by aereat of the Navy, or on Lake Su perior ore, which in case of war with Britain might be cut off by blockade or tne Lakes. These possibilities' are used hv the xeuuru as an argument for develop rnent or tne Iron and coal dennsita oi tne eoutn, southwest and West, and the establishment of steel plants there oy tne united States Steel Corpora tion, as those sections are less ex posed to occupation by an enmv The experience of Belgium in hav ing ner military resources turned against her should serve as a hint to provide means of equipping our Army ana iavy that are morn romnio "u' points exposed to attack. For mat reason ship-building plants on the Pacific Coast should be encoiirae-od with more naval contracts than thev iittvn received. SECRECY SHIELDS BLf.NDEREBS. Tne beneficial effect of frank crit icism on the conduct of the. war i shown by the belated energy of the allies in going to the rescue of Serbia alter fair Edward Carson had resigned because the allies did " not do two months ago what they are now doing. Never was there a more scathing ar- ingumeni or incapacity to meet ueucaie situation than that of Sir niawara. tne negotiations with the Riitan ctf-)f-A v.rt., a i ,T' oAuncu uiruugnout mat their statesmen were afraid to take sides in the war until one party had demon strated ability to win. They were afraid to be on the losing side and to oe laid waste as Belgium and Poland have been devastated. The inclina tion of Bulgaria's rulers was to join the Teutons and avenge the humilia tion and loss caused by the second saiKan war. The Bulgarian people were evidently divided in opinion, but were proDaDly favorable to the allies whom they would have trusted to re cover for thfm what they hadlost by the treaty of Bucharest. Ferdinand and his Ministers restrained them by punning to uerman- victories in Rus sla and to the abortive attack by thi allies on the Dardanelles. When i ki eat teuton army aDDearerl on th. Serbian border, and no 'allied army appeared to meet it, Ferdinand had an irresistible argument: the Teutons couia give Bulgaria what she wanted, ano tne allies could not. Protests of tne pro-Kusslan party were drowned and Bulgaria joined the powers which had an army on the ground to help them, in preference to those powers wnicn leit little Serbia to fight her atties aione. A similar situation Greece. A pro-German Kino- holding back Ministers otlA nennio with counsels of prudence. He was unwilling -to let Greece take the main burden of the land attack on the Dar danelles when the Western powers made only a sea .ttack, for the Greek flank would have been exnoawi to Bulgarian armies. When" the Teuton nvasion of Serbia began, the allies expected Greece to help Serbia in fulfilment of treaty obligations and of a promise to mobilize if the iin furnished 150.000 men. They failed to see that the actual presence nf those 150.000 men was necessary to nuuee- Greece to move. They should have known that King Constantine would postpone a .decision against Germany as long as possible: that in such a crisis Greece would cnnnider er own preservation as suDerior toJ treaty oDiigations; that confidence in the allies was impaired bv their fail- re to have troops where they were eeded in time to gain the ooint de sired; and that fear of tho Germans was inspired by Germany's always having troops where they were wanted. The Greeks, like the Mis- sourians, wished to be shown. Had those 150,000 men been sent to Sa- omca as soon as Bulgaria mobilized, vith notice that more would .follow Greece would probably have made the plunge, while Bulgaria might Hafe drawn back. So with Roumania. An ODDosition party has been working actively for .iieiveimun against Uermanv and ustria since the war beean. and has public sentiment with it, but has to contend with a German Kins- anrf Cabinet which did not, dare to go beyond unfriendly neutrality toward tne leutor.g. Professor Pilenko, of r-eirogracl, says that Roumania of fered terms to join the allies a year tgo. but they were reiected i. then Roumania has heard the roar of Teuton cannon across the border driv ing the Russians back, but has heard or no such allied successes on the Dardanelles or in -the West, and has seen no allied troops in the Balkan Peninsula to hearten up the little states for an onslaught on Austria nd Turkey. Germany is rerrteo to have agreed with Bulgaria, not only to send 300.000 men against Serbia, but, in the event of Roumanian inter- ention, to send another 300.000 against Roumania. Germanv thim protects her small allies, while the ntente powers delay helD until theirs are half conquered. An army of 500,000 French and British in the Balkan Peninsula six months ago could probably have done far better service to the allied cause than the same number has done in the West. It would certainly have drawn Greece and Roumania into the allied ranks with 700,000 men, and would OEEGOmX, FRIDAY. either have won over Bulgaria with reasonable concessions of territory or wouia nave tngntened her into neu trallty. With these forces the allies might ere now have been in possession or tonstantlnopl and hava had an army .free to invade Austria from the southeast. The only valid excuse for not having adopted this course is that the allies lacked the necessary troops for this enterprise and for maintenance of their position in the West. The blundering In .the Balkans brings out one of the drawbacks ot coalition governments. They silence criticism and discussion of policy. That has been the case in both Brit ain and France. A frank debate on the Balkan situation would have brought out suggestions useful to the two governments. It might have stimulated the war departments to back up the diplomats with such a show of force as would . have been a most persuasive argument to the Balkan. States. Discussion could not have done so much harm at an earlier stage of the war as has been done by blundering in its absence, while discussion Is now nothing but crying over spilt milk. Democrats who have lately awak ened to tiuj delinquency of their party in not only neglectinc National de fense but in opposing plans of the Re publicans for National defense, occa sionally seek an apology in the old, familiar retort: "You're another." They say that, if they have neglected to arm the country against aggres sion, so have the Republicans. This is ho occasion for recrimination be tween parties, for neither, when In office, has done all that it should. The oest oetense which both can make 1 that they heard no popular demapd for action and that their neglect sim ply renected the attitude of the nnhlic mind. Do not think,-however, that we have heard the last of Villa. He ntav retire from the border occasionally as the tiae or Dattle dictates, but he will re tarn. "Villa in defeat is more danger ous tnan tne victorious Villa. He has given abundant evidences of a vicious and bloodthirsty nature and now that ne knows the American hand is turner! iiBHiiiui nim ana that he has nothing more to expect from this country, re prisals may be counted upon, particu larly it vina foresees his doom ciearir ne nas been playing for big game vv nen ne sees that his is a losing game, his villainous nature may turn io tnougnts or dire revenge. It is apparent that- anv overturns on me suDject or peace will be made tnrougn Bpain and not the United States. There arc evidences that while peace overtures are not being made the situation is being sounded and that Spain is the medium. This makes it plain that others do not sea us e we iono ot seeing ourselves. Our claims of great moral sensibilities lose iorce betore our assiduous activity in inditing ana selling war munitions, i-urther than that, the dinlomacv- of the present Administration is too inmsy and shallow to be of use in solving thevgreatest diplomatic tangle ul me ages.

But just after the verdict Fate ended the romance by claiming the young man's life. There is no Darticular moral in this tale, but plenty of evidence that trutn continues to be stranger than iiciion. iarranza says he will sruard the border. It is well. Since Carranza cannot put down internecine strife. dim since we are to do nothing about t except bluff and present false claims of "another great moral victory,", the piace ior uarranza's tiny force is on tne border. The restoration of na tional health in Mexico is to be a sur- lace aitair. and this beino- sio. keen the Mexican horror out of our sight, ir Carranza polices the border he can make any claim he chooses, no matter how frightful conditions be come in the interior.

After an attack would sulk for hours and could be aroused only with difficulty from brooding over real or fancied wrongs. Case 4 At 4 years of age she had terrible fits ot temper, when she would scream for an hour at a time. At 13. it crossed, became morbid, refused to eat and threatened to kill herself. Case 5 Subject to attacks of un governable temper and loss ot inhibi tions", soon over. Case 6 Early showed willfulness and quick temper. Placed in, an institution, her outburtsts of temper save trouble. Case 7 A girl of 17; has all the com forts and luxuries of an average mid dle class American home. She is quiet and refined in the house and a perfect tomboy out of doors. Docile and obe dient when reasoned with a few min utes, later she would emulate the worst child in tne neighborhood. Like her father, her temper is "pretty fiery." Case 8 Sometimes good and sweet; again cross and ugly, disagreeable and obstinate.

If a man were to enlist, in the army as a private at the age of 21 and re-enlist every four venr.o .until retired, what would his pay be when cured.- MISS li. MDAN1ET.. Enlisted men may be retired after 30 years' service with three-fourth of the pay of their grade and 15.75 a. month additional in lieu of their cloth ing-, subsistence, quarters, fuel and light. Therefore his earing capacity would depend on the rank he had at tained. The pay of a private is J180 to $300 a year and that of a Lieutenant- General, the highest grade in the United States Army now. is $11,000 a year.- Ranks between these two ex tremes carry' yearly remuneration while in service as follows: Comorsl $252 to $46$; Sergeant. $360 to $576 First Sergeant, $540 to $S28r- Becond Lieutenant, $1700 lo $J380; First Lieu tenant. $2000 to $2800; Captain $2400 to $3360; Major, $3000 to $4000; Lieuten ant-Colonel, 3500 to $4500: Colonel $4000 to $5000; Brigadier-General. $6000; Major-General, $000.

HUM.W LIFE: IS BKCOMI.Ha CHEAP Europe Too Well Supplied With Peo ple, Therefore) War. ONTARIO, Or.. Nov. 3 (To the Ed itor.) Mr. A. p. Crothers sees our Na tion "quite Voluntarily sinking into nothingness by refusing to perpetuate itself." Let this gentleman visit the vicinity of a public school at play time and see it he thinks our raoe is in danger of becoming extinct. He may wonder where so many children came from. In the beginning it was desired by the Creator that the earth should be replenished. My understanding of the eioie is tnat man was given some In telligence over the lower animals in this matter. It seems the command ha about been fulfilled. Tho earth i pretty well supplied with people. When it is entirely lull, and no more can pos sibly live, shall we then call a. halt, or has not the Creator had something to do with cneckins excessive repro duotion before the limit of the earth's capacity is reached? I think so. Much ot the misery of the world is the re suit of not using our God-given com nion sense. Anything that is too plentiful is cheap and a scarce article is valuable. l nose European nations at war today would not be fighting if human lives were more valuable. But thev all have excessive populations, and human beings are their cheapest ammunition For a long time the United States has been the refuse for the surnlus modu lations of Europe.

CERTAINTY NOT GOOD FOR HIM Bad for Husband to Be Sure of Wife's love Whatever He Does. WALLA WALLA. Wash., Nov. 3 (To the Editor.) Here's to our Pendleton reader. He certainly is sound on tha world, though I can't say that I sym pathize with him. I have studied char acter reading some. In reading the editorials I usually fead between the lines. The article he wrote lust sounds like the man who says, "what's tne Use of running after a streetcar after you've got it?" If a man would only try one-half as had to keep his wire s love as he did to win her there wouldn't be so many broken marriages. Oh, it's delightful to be a woman, even in spite of all thiTrgs, but jto be a weak woman and good, with tho goodness invented for her by men, who will have none of it themselves, no thanks. I wonder if husbands are o often unfaithful because, their wives are good. I think they cannot stand the dreary, monotonous certainties. Of coarse they " reverence them for their goodness and go to the women who are less good and love them. jno woman who is absolutely and entirely good, in the ordinarv nen.e of tha word, gets a man's most fervent love the love besides which all other feelings pale. A wear-and-tear affec tion, perhaps, tideless and dull, may be her portion. You know it ic nV for good wpmen that men have fought battles, given their lives and staked ' their souls.

I notice that Nero, the large African lion at Washington Park too. Is to be made the hero of a movie film. Hasn't Nero suffered enough in all these years of confinement to entitle him to a quiet death? He surely can not be a "sport" on account of hi' rheumatism. Then why torture him by taking him to Los Angeles, turning him loose in a jungle and making him a target for hunters, just to maka an exciting scene for a picture concern? There is too much of this work in the movie world and Deonle who hve the least spark of .humanity in them should condemn it. Why do the "board of censorship" allow it? Just lastweek we read of an actor riding an old horse over an 80-foot precipice and all that happenedto the rider was a broken leg. It really should have been a bro ken neck. We don't hear what hap pened to the horse. How many of us who are trvino- to teach humanity to the young can sanc tion these films? I think our "hmM. of censorship" a myth. JUST A WOMAN.
