PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21. 1916. THE INDICTMENT OK CARRANZA. Secretary Lansing's note to General Carranza is about as stern an indict ment as one government ever ad dressed to another. It makes a long series of charges of bad. faith and hos tility against the Mexican ruler. It proves incontestably that Carranza and liis officers have broken every promise to run down bandits, have counten anced the escape of Villa's band, have obstructed our efforts at capture of the murderers and have permitted the organization of raiding parties under their very noses without a move to prevent Incursions Into our territory. It proves that, while our Government has afforded every facility to Carranza for military operations against his enemies and has shown unbounded patience under great provocation, he has requited us hy shielding the mur derers and plunderers of our citizens and the violators of our territory. This dispatch fully justifies the United States in using its entire mili tary force to put an end to border outlawry by running down every band in the northern states of Mexico. If Carranza and his Generals carry out their threats to oppose these opera tions, we shall be Justified in treating them as the chiefs of all the bandits and in making relentless war on them until their power is completely de stroyed. This implies like pursuit of Zapata and all other chieftains who have been marking a hell of Mexico un. tier pretense of patriotism and reform. The work cannot be completed until Mexico is fully subdued. It will then be our duty to do for Mexico what ne have done for Cuba administer the government until the people have been able to form a government of their own, and retain power to intervene whenever disorder breaks out beyond the power of its government to quell. The indictment of Carranza is also an indictment of President Wilson. The main grounds for intervention which he lays down could have been stated just as truthfully at any time during the last three years. He missed his opportunity to help Mexico in estab lishing peace and order when he re fused to recognize Huerta. That act brought upon the wretched country all , the miseries which have followed. By that act he began to intervene. His failure to follow it up by armed inter vention makes him an accessory to all the bloodshed, rapine and starvation which have followed. His plea that he refrained out of respect for the rights of Mexico, out of regard for humanity or out of reluctance to cause blood shed proves how utterly his judgment was at fault. He watchfully waited while Mexico not only destroyed itself hut slew more Americans than are likely to meet death in the hostilities which now impend. He had abundant cause three years ago for doing what lie now seems about to do. e say "seems about to do," for it has become so habitual with him to draw back from a task to which he has set his hand that we can feel no ronnaence in nis even now going through with it. He sent troops to era Cruz and scuttled. He sent war. ships to Tamp i ct and scuttled, leaving foreign warships to rescue our citizens from a mob. He tried twice to shift upon South American nations a part ot the responsibility which rests on the t nited States alone. He has so per sistently shirked his plain duty and drawn back from a distasteful task which he had begun that we can. never feel sure, when he begins, that he will rinlsli. There will doubtless be an attempt to make political capital for Mr. Wil son out of his belated burst of vigor. lie cannot escape the damning con elusion that the course which has now been forced upon him by such irresisti ble logic as even he cannot dispute is it confession that his entire policy to ward Mexico has utterly failed. If that be political capital for him in his amibition for a second term, let him make the most of it. RUSSIAN'S DRINKING MORE TEA. Prohibition of the use of vodka in Russia brings that country still nearer 1o our vision as a land dotted with samovars. No traveler in Russia for merly considered his description of that country complete without a chap. ter on the national habit of tea drink ing. From now on. the picture will be intensiifed, as is indicated by statistics, Consumption of tea in 1913 amounted to 4,251,000 poods (a pood is equal to thirty-six pounds ten ounces). The imperial decree of prohibition was promulgated in 1914, and in 1915 tea consumption was 4.698,000 poods. But v analysis of the figures of imports gives more encouragement to the advocates - of temperance, since It shows that the chief increase has been in the cheaper grades, an additional evidence that the peasants have changed their habits - coincidental!- with abolition of the dramshop. Russians are heavy consumers of tea Sn "tablet" form. These are small and es hard as brickbats, being made of tea dust and scraps of leaves, tightly com pressed. They are not such, perhaps, as our daintiest tea. drinkers would fancy as a luxury, but to the moujik they spell refreshment, sociability and something -hot. Consumption of these tea tablets alone has more than doubled- in a single year. The figures are more striking when it is known that they represent far more imbibition than would be the case in America, since the Russian customarily "drowns the miller" when - lie makes his tea, drinking it extremely . weak. It appears, too, that be is a . tea, consumer for other reasons than - for the stimulus or "kick" derived. : He is a gregarious being, the average " Russian more given than most other ' ieoples to seeking diversion in groups and the samovar has taken the place of the vodka barrel as a rallying point for the socially Inclined. Incidentally, Increase in the con- cvamptioa pf oof'oe la noted to toaxm avt. talned noteworthy proportions. This is given as 500,000 poods in 1914, the year ol the decree, -while in. 1915 it was 574,000 poods. An increase of the number of coffee shops in cities and villages also is recorded. FTSXY AT A DISTANCE. It often requires perspective to re veal the ridiculous. Some of our states men and commentators are. quite se rious In attempting to reinforce their own opinion on Issues by citing policies adopted or things said by Washing ton, Jefferson or Lincoln on matters that occupied the public mind in their day. These things seem to them solemnly pat and consequential, although time has since the day of these statesmen wrought great changes in National importance, duty, responsibility and ability to perform. Yet to these latter-day argufiers of our own country, how senseless will appear the grave discussion In Eng land as to what would have been Shakespeare's views on questions aris ing out of the European war. The Literary Digest, this week, pub lishes several quotations from English Journalists. One is convinced Shake speare "would have been, bitterly op posed to those who believe it right or possible that Englishmen should have any relations with Germans after the war." Another believes Shakespeare would have been "violently hostile to the idea of an. inconclusive peace." One writer gathers from Shakespeare's works that he would have been an "arch-conscriptionist"; another, on the contrary, that he would have been an "arch-conscientious objector." Henry Arthur Jones, the English playwright. has written a pamphlet in which he argues that Shakespeare was a Ger man-hater. And so the absurd dis cussion runs on, with here and there a word of admonition from other Eng lish writers to observe common sense. Probably to most Englishmen who are familiar with American history the efforts of writers to invoke the shades of Washington and Lincoln to settle our present-day problems appear just as nonsensical and inconsequential as English efforts to find political guid ance or comfort in Shakespeare do to us. ET TU BRUTE? German-Americans are doubtless surprised to find themselves rebuked in the Portland Journal because they are not satisfied with the President's brand of neutrality. Particularly must they be surprised that dissatisfaction among their numbers is ascribed by the Journal to the President's Lusi tania notes. What qualifies that news paper to read their thoughts or pro test against their thoughts after it has once read them? Possibly German-Americans who oppose Wilson are not thinking of the Lusitania but of Democratic Keynoter Glynn's assumption of credit for the Administration for the beef trust agreement with Britain. That agree ment to sell only in such way that American beef could not possibly reach the central empires is essentially un neutral if it has color of Government approval. The Journal, too. has never until now, when political exigencies demand. given the President more than half hearted support in the controversy with Germany. Its editorials follow ing the sinking of the Lusitania con tained no protest against invasion of American rights. They were amateur theatrical exclamations over what it described as a terrible incident of war. 'Ain't it awful, Mabel!" or words to what effect, were its sole cry, repeated over and over again. Nor did the rebuke now adminis tered to German-Americans for as sumed dissatisfaction with the Lusi tania notes fall on Bryan when that idol of Democracy quit the Cabinet for that identical reason. But the Journal knew its Bryan. It knew he would stay put as a good Democrat We therefore take it that anybody has a right to feel aggrieved by the Presi dent's European policy so long as he does not express it at the polls. It is another illustration that he who rTisses the Journal in politics cannot expect to preserve a good reputation WAR MAKES A NATION OVER. Great Britain will emerge from the war a country which has undergone revolutionary social change. Military necessity and patriotism are breaking down social distinctions. The hard and fast line between the commissioned of ficer and the enlisted man in the army is disappearing. The idea that man ual labor is degrading to a gentleman is fading. The prejudice among the upper classes against letting their women work has yielded to the wom en's insistence that they fill the places of men who go out to fight. Labor union opposition to women as workers in many callings, lest men be crowded out of employment, has given way, for there is work for all, both men and women. The unions no longer Insist that work which can be done by un. skilled hands shall be reserved for the skilled. They no longer oppose substi- tution of machinery for hand labor, for they find that it does not reduce the number of hands employed. Manu facturers take kindly to such machin ery. High wages and demand for maximum output have forced them to adopt it, 'and they now find that it vastly Increases output and reduces cost. A few paragraphs in the London Times are evidence of these effects of the war. Owing to scarcity of labor, the vicar and curate of Bourne, Lin colnshire, unloaded a carload of coal and delivered it by handtruck to cus tomers in the towm. Soldiers billeted at Wycombe occupy their spare time in cultivating the al lotments on Lord Lincolnshire's estate of between forty and fifty soldiers who are at the front, their wages being provided by public subscription. Rev. John Cocker, curate of St. George's Church, Hulme, Durham- shire, was a private in the Sportsmen's Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers and is probably the first English clergy man serving in the ranks to fall at the front, A 6hell struck him while he was shaving outside his dug-out. One issue of the London Gazette an nounces that 71 warrant and non-com missioned officers have received com missions. The London Hydraulic Power Com pany employs nine women .as engi neers and firemen, and they do well, running over the engines like cats, but cannot manage cranes. The Times publishes protests from fathers against the extravagances which Colonels force on subaltern of ficers in the army, preventing "the brainy athletes of our universities" from accepting permanent commis sions. The War Office has appealed to parents to send their sons into th army as a profession, but one fathe says: Comparatively few can afford the add! tlonal allowance of ilSO to 30O a year whicn, -at subaltern xozmarljr. required to live respectably In a Line regiment. The War Office has obtained the pick of our publlo school boys. Are the majority of the sur vivors of this war to be sacrificed to the Inordinate vanity of the regimental mess? Are they to be compelled to resign because their wealth la not commensurate with their ability? By breaking down the barriers of caste, by making work and merit, not wealth and birth, the basis of army promotion, by reviving belief In the dignity of labor and by cutting away the obstacles which both capital and labor have Interposed against the free working of economic law, the war may compensate Great Britain for its en tire cost NOT 'WHAT THEY ARE HIRED TO DO. As Incident to the efforts to refloat the steamship Bear, which met recent ly with an unfortunate mishap off the California Coast, the news dispatches relate that certain members of the crew declined to assist in lightering the cargo, giving as their reason that handling of cargo was not work they "were hired to do." The picture pre sented, then, is that of a group of men wholly without enthusiasm for the ac complishment of a task, lacking in the very spirit of co-operation most help ful to society as a whole, and un moved even by the emergency before them to relax the rule they have set for themselves to work by. Doubtless the number of men so refusing their assistance in time of need is small in this particular instance, but the possi bility that it will grow, or that al ready it is larger than it seems, makes the occasion appropriate for homily on the decline of the pride of the work man, not only in the product of his own hands, but in the success as a whole of the enterprise with which he is associated. In the strict letter of the con tract, it probably is true that certain mien on shipboard were not "hired to do" certain unforeseen things; yet it wi'l not be e?sy for one who ever has been stirred by the feel ing of ordinary helpfulness and neigh- borliness to understand the attitude of aloofness adopted by these men. Apparently the issue of wages is not in dispute on this occasion, or the question of the ability of the men. to perform the requested task. No ex ceptional perils are Involved, or if they are they are not given as a more near ly valid reason for declining duty. It is simply this: That a great ship is n trouble, and that certain men on board of her would rather quibble about the precise nature of the things they are hired to do than to turn to with a will and help in the worthy work of restoring her to a life of use fulness. Even the thought that afloat she will give continual employment to brother workers seems not to have en tered into their calculations. Stranded hopelessly on a rocky coast, she would e wholly an economic loss; Just that much of the product of the savings and the labor of men rendered as naught. We are not concerned here so much in the property loss which will be large if the ship is not saved as in the greater loss that must fall upon the world if the spirit of co-operation among its people shall be allowed to die. It was said of the fire-fighters of Constantinople a few years ago that they were wont to bargain with the owner of a shop on fire and if he failed to meet the exactions put upon him his property would be left to the flames. What would be said, not alone of a fireman of today but of a neigh bor, who refused help when need was urgent? One does not like to con template the prospect of a community, or a craft, or a family of workmen sinking to the level of every man for himself and no one for anyone else, which is the logical conclusion of the spirit of I won't do anything I wasn't hired to do. Yet the loss, after all, falls chiefly on tlie one who harbors such a spirit. The material cost of his refusal is by comparison a bagatelle. The man who finds no pleasure in being helpful is missing a good deal of the joy of life. The worker who never does anything he is not specifically employed to do is no more than an automaton, not vivi fied by a spark of higher feeling. The craftsman who feels no throbbing im pulse to add the unpaid-for finishing touch is no better than a machine. Work is drudgery if It is not lightened and heartened by some of the joy of accomplishment and the pride that a good craftsman takes in a task well done. Humanity is not helped toward any desirable goal by those whose chief fear is that they will do something 'out of their line." The real dignity of labor suffers most from the drawing of the artificial line. The crafts man's own spiritual development is retarded in equal measure. WAR DUE TO WEAK I1T1XMACY. The United States on the eve of war with the de facto government of Mexico is the climax of our three years of watchful waiting for Mexico to settle down, of our patient toler ance of Mexican crimes and insults. That waiting and tolerance have been defended on the plea that we must try to avoid the bloodshed and other hor rors of war. During the interval those horrors have been visited on hundreds of Americans who have been mur dered, outraged and robbed in Mex ico, on thousands of Americans who have fled from that country and on hundreds of thousands of Mexicans who have been killed In battle, massa. cred or starved to death. The cost of war In blood and money must still be paid; all of this bloodshed and suffer ing has been added' to the bill as in terest paid in advance. It could have been avoided. Firmness and decision exercised wisely would have prevented both the three years of bloodletting, at least so far as Americans were con cerned, and the war which la to be the climax. What those qualities can accomplish was shown in the Virginius affair dur ing President Grant's administration Spain was then a republic and was fighting three revolutions at the same time, one of them in Cuba. The ship Virginius, under American register and ostensibly owned by Americans, was captured in November, 18 3, by ) Spanish warship and taken to San tlago, her passengers and crew num bering 155. On November 4, three Cubans and one British subject were shot in cold blood and on November 7 and S fifty-three more persons, in eluding eight Americans, were shot without even a courtmartial. De mands of the American Consul for communication with the prisoners were met with threats to withdraw his exequatur. The American people, whose sympathies were with Cuba, de nounced the massacre and shouted for war. The Spaniards, incensed at American aid to the Cubans, exulted and demanded expulsion of General Sickles, United States Minister to Ma drid. On receiving news of the capture President Castelar, of Spain, forbade the death penalty on non-combatants but ilia orderm did not arrive, until after the massacres. He promptly de nounced and disavowed them. Secre tary Fish received news of the) second massacre on November 12 and two days later cabled to Minister Sickles: "If Spain cannot redress the outrages perpetrated in her name in Cuba, the United States will." Sickles was in structed to demand the return of the Vlrginius to the United States with the survivors, a salute to the American flag, punishment of all who had part in the executions and an indemnity. Telling the story of the affair in World's Work, Burton J. Hendrick says Sickles on November 20 presented the demands in a manner unnecessar ily insulting and, when Spain did not accede, demanded his passports. But Fish, distrusting Sickles' brusqueness. had already settled the affair with the Spanish Minister at Washington. Spain granted all the demands except the sa lute and offered to give that if the United States proved that our flag had been insulted. The Spanish Minister denied the right of the Virginius to the American flag, saying she was owned by Cubans, had been a filibus ter for years and carried fraudulent papers. He presented overwhelming proof and the demand for a salute was withdrawn. Fish's final dispatch was dated December 22, ending the nego tiations with full satisfaction of his just demands in less than a month. Spain yielded not only because its ruler knew our demands to be Just but because it was in no position'to fight and we were. It knew Grant to be no bluffer and that he had but to say the word in order to put a million vet eran soldiers of the Civil War in the field. President 'Wilson has not only hesltated to demand redress for out rages committed in Mexico, but so long as Mr. Bryan was Secretary of State Mexico knew well that those demands would not be backed by force and that we should have difficulty in organizing the necessary army. The lesson is plain. Firm diplo macy, supported by rorce, prevents war. Weak diplomacy, unsupported by force, causes war. The President, by his lack of firmness, and by betray ing his unwillingness to fight, has brought upon his country the war which strong words, backed by the possession of physical force and by an evident purpose to use it, could have prevented. Formerly wheat and other food stuffs were our main reliance for the maintenance of a favorable trade bal ance. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, all but one month of which was wartime, our exports increased $410,000,000, but $401,800,000 of this increase was breadstuffs. In the ten months ending April 30, 1916, our exports increased $1,162,000,000, but exports of crude foodstuffs decreased $120,000,000, and of this latter de crease, $108,000,000 was wheat The increase was entirely in manufactures of various kinds. This was large enough, with miscellaneous exports, to offset the decrease in crude food stuffs and other classes and to have this enormous net increase of $1, 162,000,000. If Russia conquers Bukowina, it will have a tempting bait to offer Rou- mania and may accompany the offer with a threat to take Transylvania, which Roumania also desires. But the little kingdom is ioted for playing for suro things and may hold off until quite certain that another Russian re treat 'would not expose It, to the wrath of the Teuton powers. Airmen will have an opportunity to do good service in Mexico, and the Government will now begin the prepa ration which it should have begun when the Wright brothers invented the aeroplane. The folly of long engagements is shown in the case of the man who died at a Tacoma hospital two hours after marriage following an engage ment of ten years. Going to law is as much business as luxury. In a case in a local court involving $27.50, a firm of four law yers and an extra attorney appear for the defense. In the Mexican "War of seventy years ago most of the volunteers were from the South. A few years later they were the leaven In the Confederate Army. Married Guardsmen should not worry about their families.

BOY who is not so tall wants to be, and who hi as he .a not grown for three years, although he la I only is years old, wants to know If there is any possibility that he will or I can grow taller, and, if there is, what I he can do to help on the process. I Osborne and Mendel have recently studied the Doaslbilitiea of caualns- .1 resumption of arrested growth.

If a boy has stopped growing from any other cause, change in food, in quality, or In Quantity win not cause him to begin growing again. If a boy stops growing at 5 feet 5 inches because some ances- or was short he cannot change his food and thereby increase his stature. I And it is Inheritance that determines tature in most cases.

A Gardner, president ot tne XMortnwestern Railroad, waa a bril llant example of the young man who, unassisted, fights his way to the top. from operator at the key to the presi dent of a 9000-mile railroad is a far cry. But Mr. Gardner covered the long road by sheer ability and dogged de termination The man who rises from the ranks is likely to prove a far better employer than he who has the reins of business handed him through inheritance. His own experience helped to make Mr. Gardner democratic and aftable, thor oughly conversant With tho needa of his army of employes and deeply sym- Pathetic Rising from the ranks, he recognized his responsibility to the millions of persons compelled to buy railroad serv ice. Persistent in meeting the desires of railroad patrons, Mr. Gardner did much to popularize railroads. Through his personal attention to the traveler and the shipper, patrons of the North western learned that there are souls behind some corporations. The Gardners, the captains of Indus- 1 try who rise from the ranks to their commanding positions, are constantly affording Inspiration to milliona of young Americans, too many of whom have somehow imbibed tne idea that "puil" is needful to rise to heights of business success. .Mr. uaraner b suc cessful life Is a book filled with con sistent diligence and perseverence From these qualities and his active ere alive mind came the driving: power of his ambition.

BETTER IMMIGRANTS AKTKH WAR Voansrer Men Xbw In the Trenches Ex pected to Come to America, New light upon tho much-discussed question of immigration from Europe after the war, comes from Alexander Jackson, general immigration agent of the Rock Island lines, who has just re turned to America after nearly ten years' residence In London, where he served thia company us general Euro pcan ageiit- liu is of the opinion that there will ba a large influx of for eigners at the close of the war; that Great Britain will contribute many of these new arrivals and that these will be largely cf a desirable class, from among the younger m-Mi now in the trenches. Writins particularly of this class. Mr. Jackson says: "These yotin men com largely from inside employment. from stores or shops, where they have been lorded over by petty borses, who rule them wit tyrannical hand. ow these young men a.-e at the front where, in spite of military discipline, there is a freedom to which they have not been accus tomed in London or Manchester. They breathe the outdoor air; they are part of the great British army, defending the empire. Their martial spirit arousc-1. they hnva become men. sure of themselves for the first time, free from the tyranny of the petty boss and the confining life of the shop. Then and there they decided that, after the war, they will never go back to the cities. but will go abroad to a land that is fre from tho antagonisms aroused by the conflict and not subject to the burden of war taxes. There is only one. nation that measures up to this ideal and that is our own. ' 'Even if this were not the case, eco nomic pressure will force these young men to migrate. Their employment has been taken by women, who are better fitted for it, and it is self-evident that the women will not give up these places when peace is restored." Mr. Jackson also utters a note of warning in regard fo the need for pre venting the influx of undesirable classes from all the nations of Europe, and the desirability of encouraging 'people worth while" to come and settle. X ATT" RE HAS PROVIDF-D PEDESTAL Tonriat Sucgcsts TIcrolc Statue to Cap Grandeur of Highway Scenery. PORTLAND, June 20. (To the Edi tor.) Permit a visitor to your state to express through your columns his deep appreciation of the enchanting scenery that Oregon enterprise has made it so easy to come in close con tact with. I refer particularly to the Columbia River Highway. When one endeavors to transfer the emotions to paper after traversing that wonder way. words are a weak medium to de scribe the majesty of it all. It requires a Wagner or a Beethoven to set it to music. .Soon tho pictures of the Columbia River Highway are to take possession of the screens in the principal cities of the world and vast audiences will behold the natural glories of the great scenic way, while listening to music of Beethoven and other masters by the orchestras. For the time being rag time will fro jinglv1? down the bottom less pit and tho.-e audiences will realize that they are being drawn very near to the celestial. Oregon has provided the greatest show on earth, fcshe has builded better than she knew. May the writer venture a suggestion. At almost the center of the channel of the Columbia River off Cape Horn a massive rock shaped like a pedestal rises from the depths, as though nature had prepared it to accommodate a statue of heroic proportions Bay a replica of the statue of Sacajawea and "The Coming of the White Man. Citizens who are able could doubtless be prevailed upon to provide the where withal to place the absent statue upon the pedestal that nature with her wonderful forethought has provided. TOURIST.
