ENFOitriNO pKOirrniTiox. The state ka triumphantly abol ished the saloon, but It has not taken away the craving; for liquor nor the oecd of good cheer which exists among most men. W'e should ay rather that every normal man seeks the society of his fellow man, and many men have thought, and have even to their own aaUsfaction proved, that the sur est way to a frood time was through drink and drink In a saloon. The Anti-Saloon League, "which Is largely responsible for the abolition of tho saloon, apparently atanda for nothing but warfare on that unpopu lar Institution. Liut actually, it Is to be assumed that It represents more. If It shall have merely destroyed the lawful place which men frequent for their own pleasure and entertainment. It will find that Its work has been poorly done. Naturally Just now there Is a good deal of nervousness over the prohibi tion law. evidently there Is a purpose among law orflccrs to enforce It. But It la everywhere recognized that It is to be a hard Job. u hat I to take the place of tha sa loon, where men have habitually con gregated In Oregon by the thousands? No substitute, founded on abstract no tions of reform or the ptinclplo of Uie uplift, will be satisfactory. Hut place where men may have their games, and their gossip, and their horseplay, and their opportunity to brag- to ono an other, will help, even without the liquor. Uut they must be run by men who understand the ways of the saloon-frequenter, and not by Young People's church leagues or Ladles' Aid Societies. The resort-keeper who transform hi saloon Into the same kind of club It has heretofore been, without liquor, and without partnership with tho law-Ir-sa and vicious elements, will be a real reformer, and will do more than any other one Influence to make pro hibition a sober f ct right or arARCH AT r.A.

As to scorch for and seizure of goods at sea. a new doctrine gained favor, that a r.eutral ship protected enemy' goods, except contraband, from seiUure. but that an enemy ship's cargo might bo seized with the ship, even If It was neutral property. The t'nlted States supported thin dctr!ne from the beclnrlng of Its National history, but not always consistently. At tho beginning of the Crimean war. tlritaln. Krance and Sardinia (now Italy) went even further, for they agreed, to quote Lawrence, "that they ould capture neither the go oil s or an enemy In the vessel of a friend nor the goods of a friend In the vessel of an enemy." At the close of that war In li. the assembled power am-ccd to the Declaration of Paris, to avhlch the I'nltcd Slate at tho time refused lo nct-ede. but Lawrence says: 'The United Slate have always acted as If thoy were a signatory" power." The declaration thus ha behind It "some thing barely distinguishable from gen eral corbel t." This declaration lays down tho principles a regards all non-contraband goods: "The neutral flug covers enemye goods," and "neu tral good are not liable to enpture tinder n enemy's flag." Great Prlt aln'a adhesion was hailed a a great victory for neutrals snd these princi ples have since been followed even by the non-signatory powers. ' TltK IrANGER IS OXK-MI'KU MET.

This is duo more to lark of thought on the needs of the body than to mere satiety of the whims of appetite. - rVllagra Is a sl;ln disease accompa nied by severe constitutional and nervous disorders. At one time It wa thought to be endemic to Northern Italy and was attributed to the use of spoiled maize for food. Put tha dis ease ha found It way to the I'ntted States. e!perlal!y the Southern Slates, and I !ie Government, aided by the it.sal-sl.pl state authorities, under took aa Investigation as to causes and cure, both of which had been vajuely treated heretofore. Convicts from the state prisons, and not g-atnea pigs, were chosen for the experiments, and. of course, tne out come is all the surer. The con victs were volunteers to the cause of science, snd their reward. If they didn't die In the experiment, was a pardon. None died. The experiments showed that pella gra was actually produced in lx at least of eleven volunteers as the result of a one-sided diet. This diet m mainly of carbohydrates, or cereals. The diet differed from that given the other convicts In the absence of meat. ml'k. eggs, beans, peas and similar proteid foods. It consisted mainiy in biscuits, fried mush, grits, brown gravy, syrup, corn bread, cabbage, sweet potatoes, rice, collards and cof fee with sugar. Plainly It produced surfeit of the system with cereals, ana the result bore out the earlier medical research. In part, which was that the disease was caused by spoiled cereal food. The Health Service now feels rea sonably certain that the last expert ment will make it easy to fight the disease. Knowing the cause was the first step to the cure. Another interesting study would be the effect of a strictly one-sided vege table diet, because 1t Is quite easy for the unthinking vegetarian te make a vice of hut virtue in eating. Prominent New Torkers are ill fol lowing a banquet at which chicken sandwiches were served. Ptomaine poisoning Is the diagnosis. In view of the heavy consumption of food capa ble of earning ptomaines and the im possibility of close Inspection, it is surprising that the volume of such in cidents is not much greater. Inspec tion is the one safeguard, and even thia-ls not infallible. In addition to the official inspections there should be careful household inspections by those who prepare the foods. Eter nal vigilance is the price of immunity from tainted foodstuffs. 11a, at last! The Administration has found a law to cover the activity of foreign acitators in wrecking Ameri can munition plants.

If the malefactors are able to escape under that charge, why not prosecute them for disturbing tne peace or discharging firearms within the city limits? In the meantime, we tremble to think what would happen to American citizens who attempted to interfere with the affairs of a great foreign power. After long months of silence, Mrs Punkhurst and her fellow suffragette have found a new outlet for their en ergies. They will protest the con. duct of the war. They, want better results and are going to insist upon them. Why not go still further? Why not organize a suffragette division and proceed Into tho thick of the fray over in Flanders?

HAVING fascinated New Tork with Edward Sheldon's play, "Ro mance." two years ago, Doris Keane is repeating the triumph in London, and whether by chance or design, this favorite star of the late Charles Froh maa is closing the present occupancy of the Duke of York's Theater. "Ro mance" proves by success that even In the present very disturbed times smart London can find pleasure In something less frothy than the eternal revue. Miss ' Keane- has made '"Ro mance" town talk; and the high honor of asking her, by royal command, to present an act of the play at the monster benefit Just given for the Red Cross fund, under the auspices of Queen Mary and Alexandra, has done no little to enhance her advance Into the very hearts of London thea tergoers. a In San Francisco Houdlnl is at the Orpheum. finishing his second week there, and at the Empress his brother, Hardeen, Is his rival in mystery.

HIRIXO SCHOOL CElVSt"S TAKERS. One W ho Waa Unable to Get Place Ask How Enuineratora Were Enicaged. PORTLAND. Nov. 17. (To the Edi tor.) The writer saw ai item in The Sunday Cregonian that the City School Board under , Clerk Thomas would, starting November 2."., bee:in taking the school census of the city. The item further stated that the unemployed would do the enrolling and 105 en uumerators would be employed. In The Oregonian, November 17, ap pears an item under the heading "Cen sus Jobs All Taken." further slating "Owing to a misapprehension caused by an announcement that unemployed people of the city would receive posi tions taking the school census, num bers are daily calling upon School Clerk Thomas asking they be enrolled for the work." The writer is one who read both Items, and he, as well as many others of the unemployed, called at Mr. Thomas' office to make application for ono of the positions, as it was not clearly stated whether the positions were filled or not. Upon asking a clerk at the informa tion desk, "Who has charge of the hiring of the census takers?" he re plied, "The position are all filled." The writer then said: "I did not ask you for that information: I asked you who had charge of the hiring." He replied, "Mr. Thomas." Now, Mr. Editor, the writer Is one of the unemployed, and has been for several months. He is married and has a daughter attending the Lincoln High School and a son attending Ladd School, and he would like to ask Mr. Thomas why tile announcement of the positions to be given the unemployed men is made after the positions are filled, instead of before? Also I wish to know what method was employed to obtain the said enumerators, and what percentage of the unemployed obtain ing the positions are men who have families depending upon them? There are too many unemployed men with families v.iio have sought the po sition as census taker and have been turned down who feel that those who have been engaged for the position have secured it either through political influence or are friends of the School Board and their attaches. In fairness to the interested public at large and more especially to the unemployed who have asked for the position and been turned down, do call upon the School Board through Mr. Thomas, to publish in detail how and when the services of said enumerators are pro cured, and to place on. file in the school clerk's office the names of these enumerators and their addresses.

PORTLAND. Nov. If.. (To the Ecii- i iiirA anv V. n ir 1 i sh -snea k i nPT countries in South or Central America? Are there many Jews in any oi most countries, and is there any feeling L.ind thom in those countries? Which cities would you consider the best for a young man witn iimueu im-ii establish himself in? M. G. There are no English-speaking coun tries In South or Central America, ex cept the British colonies of Guiana in South America, und British Honduras in Central America, and in th-e two countries, particularly in Briti.sa Hon duras, Spanish is quite as common as English. For all the otner countries Spanish Is the language. except of Brazil, where it is Portuguese. There are in all of them a certain number of English-speaking people, but they are in o vwv small minority. There are some Jews in theie countries, but not as many proportionately ns In trie cities of the United States. On the whole, the status of the Jew Is miieh tho same there as it is here, and any honest, law-abiding and reasonamy tactful man need not fear any serious difficulties on account of his race or rcl i rintl. Th- Pan-American Union does not advise young men, particularly if they do not speak the language of the country and have little or no capital, to emigrate to r.ny part of Latin Amer ica. Without the language the chance of success would be very small, and even with the language and without adequate capital and in most busi ness enterprises it would require more capital in Latin America than in the United States the Pan-American Union does net consider, generally speaking, the chances to be very good.

And listened to the chorus In the lily pads before us Down by the old frog pond. Every happy little throat Seemed to sing a different note In the waters of the old frog pond. They were clearly out of tune. But wo didn't care a rune. Who sat by the old frog pond. For the world was O, so fair To those who listened there Down by the old fsog pond. And the moon's reflected light Gave a beauty to the night And glorified the old frog pond. Oh, the moments, how they sped O'er the happy, tousled head Lolling by the old frog pond. They have mingled with the years. Yet fancy often hears The music of the old frog pond. Many years have passed away Since that happy, boyish day: And gone is the old frog pond. For strangers own the land. And they dumped a lot of sand And smothered out the old frog pond. And the boys have grown to men Who were happy children when They listened by the old frog pond. But with ever fond regret Recollection hinges yet Down by the old frog pond. And we didn't care a hang How noisily they sang. Tho froggies in the old frog" pond. GEORGE II. SANDS. St. Maries. Idaho.
