The essence of thrift is not nlg This is evidence of a purpose to imi- gardliness, but excess of production tate the triple alliance which con vulsed Great Britain, and to use the strike as a weapon of direct action on congress and the people in behalf of bolshevist legislation. It was timed to influence congress when railroad and other reconstruction bills are under consideration, and to influence the people by cutting off the supply of fuel and by tying up the railroads when winter is at hand. This is an attempt to terrorize the government and to hold up the American people, which Attorney- 8.no ; wsuerai raimer rigntly describes as 3.23 i "a more deadly attack on the life or the nation than an Invading army." In combating this attack on its life the government will have the support of all people who resent ter rorism and who wish to preserve the American republic. The precedent of the. steel strike warrants the be lief that many miners will continue work If they are guarded from vio lence, and that the radicals will be ready to resort to violence If not re strained by the-forces of the law. The government should show no weak ness about using all its powers to enforce order, to keep the mines in operation and to rid the country of the revolutionary agitators who are ultimately responsible for this at tack, on the nation.

They say: The strike will be so big and have such xs.r-reaching- effects that we do not be lieve it can last very long before a criaia Is reached. What they mean is that they want to negotiate with the strike club held threateningly over the operators' heads In one hand and with a pen in the other hand, while they say: "Sign here. Their expectation is that, if the operators refuse to sign tl)e suffering and loss caused by the Dnke to the whole nation will be so $eat and far-reaching that the JJtnerican people will say to the op- Oiators: "Pay them their price, and W!e will stand the cost, though it double the price of coal." These are all the conditions of a holdup. They differ only in detail from those which exist when a bank robber thrusts a gun in the teller's face and says, "Throw up your hands," while a . confederate takes the money. There is no element ot negotiation while the threat of force is present in the shape of an irre vocable strike order unless certain terms are accepted. This is not a strike. It is a con epiracy of half a million men to hold up the American people. As the Russian soviet compels men to fight for it lest their families starve or be murdered, so the miners propose to compel the American people to pay what they demand, with the alterna tive of freezing, hunger and idle ness. This mere statement of the conditions shows the broad distinc tion between the right of "a man' to quit work when he pleases and the right of half a million men to Quit work in combination at such a time and under such circumstances. The plea that the war is over, that the existing contract has therefore expired and that the present de mands and threat of a strike involve no breach of contract, is too weak for consideration. The war is not over when Germany is violating the treaty immediately after ratifying it ' and when the war emergency still prevails in the coal industry. The war will end, actually as well as le gally, when the president proclaims peace. When the miners state that the operators refused to negotiate with them, they state what is false. The operators sent delegates to the joint fcoale conference, as they stated in their reply to the miners' demands, "for the purpose of negotiating a contract to be effective immediately upon the legal expiration of the pres ent contract." They protested against the conditions under which they were called on to negotiate, saying: The operators have sent their accred ited representatives to this conference with full power to negotiate a contract as pro vided by the call. We regret to find that the miners' convention" from which you come has failed to vest in you .correspond ing power and discretion. With your au thority apparently limited to a presenta tion of the excessive demands above set forth and to reconvene your convention or execute yonr Instructions to call a gen eral strike November 1. we are faced with the alternative of granting your demands in full or of requesting you to go back for authority to negotiate with us in con formity with the call. The operators hold that no abrogation f the existing contract can be had prior to Its legal termination, except by the mutual agreement of all the parties there to, the operators, the miners and the gov ernment. We are ready and willing to Tegotiatft a new contract to succeed at its lgu.l expiration the contract now in ef fect, but we must insist that such negotia-. tion be entered into in a spirit of reasona bleness and that the representatives of the miners be vested with their usual discre tionary power to really negoti&'te. Only under such conditions Is it possible to reach a prompt and definite conclusion and to preserve the principles of collective bargaining. over consumption. It ought to be possible for a vast number to pro duce the equivalent of 20 cents a day more than they are now pro ducing, while holding consumption at the present. level. This, is as appli cable to large industry as to isolated individual instances. No abstruse economic problem is involved in the proposition that be fore we can pay we must produce and save. The burden of the war can be removed in no other way. ANOTHER ALIBI. The Oregonian notes that the Ev ening Journal has a conspicuous headline to the effect that "The Ore gonian Error May Cost Dr. Boyd His Position." If The Oregonlan made an error in its report of Dr. Boyd's farewell sermon it is incon ceivable that he will not be able to demonstrate it satisfactorily to his church and his employment. We hope he will, indeed, though the dis covery of the so-called misquotation has been unhappily long delayed. In any event The Oregonian de clines to accept responsibility either tor what Dr. Boyd said, or for the action of the theological seminary. or what it thinks or supposes he said. It is the business of that body to know. vvnatever Happens, it must be a great relief to the sensitive soul of the Journal to know that it is not in any way to be the cause of Dr. Boyd's losing his job, if he loses it though our conscientious contempor ary had the same account, condensed. of that memorable sermon as The Oregonian had. Did The Journal reporter also misunderstand the elo fluent doctor? Or must it confess that it appropriated without credit its account from The Oregonian? Somehow we are reminded of that other anxious occasion when the es teemed Journal was cited for con tempt because it had ventured to dis cuss a criminal case then on trial in the federal court. It escaped the penalty of its transgression by suc cessfully showing that not a single member of the jury had read The Journal. It may be able to prove another great journalistic alibi by showing that nobody concerned in the Boyd affair saw its account. THE SOCIAL UNIT PtAN. The social unit plan, which is be ing advocated by experimenters in sociology as a means of reviving the community spirit which existed in high degree in the days of our town meeting ancestors, and is a distinct part of our Anglo-Saxon heritage, finds practical justification in figures prepared in Cincinnati, where it has had its first extensive trial. It ap pears that the death rate in the so- ial unit area during last year's in fluenza epidemic was only 2.2 a thousand, whereas it was 4.10 in the remainder of the city, and 5.80 in the remainder of the three wards of which the social units were a part. That the idea is locally popular is indicated by the result of a referen dum vote on its continuance 4034 for and 120 against. The New England town meeting had its counterpart in the miners' ourts of the west, which furnished the pioneers with all the law that they had during the formative period and made good the Anglo-Saxon claim to a fundamental sense of Jus- ce. They were symbolical of a pe riod in which all the people took a personal interest in public affairs. and in which the sense of individual responsibility was greater than it is now because Intimate participation n local affairs was practically uni versal. That this sense' of responsi bility is now In danger of becoming dormant is conceded by observers who are not alarmists. Whatever fact that the sticking point, which is the causes and these are as com- I common in almost every life expert plex as the factors that have entered ence. is not a sign that progress has into development of our civilization I come to a standstill.

Because they refuse to negotiate with men who begin by contract breaking and who come with the strike club in hand and with au thority only to dictate, the miners accuse them of refusal to negotiate at all. For a match to this perver sion of facts we must go to Germany or bolshevist Russia. The miners say they are "willing and anxious to meet the coal operators for the pur pose of negotiating an agreement," yet they insist on the strike, which is a violation of their present con tract and is an instrument of com pulsion, not of negotiation. Nor does denial that one purpose of the strike is to force nationaliza tion of mines on the government egree with circumstances, although that scheme is not among the de mands sent to the operators. At the same convention as adopted the miners' demands on the operators, there were adopted resolutions de manding "the immediate nationali sation of the coal mining industry" and ordering the union officers to have a bill prepared for congress providing for government purchase of the mines, for their operation by the government and for equal rep resentation of the miners on the managing commission an exact par allel of the Plumb plan for" the rail roads. The convention also instruct ed its representatives "to urge in the coming conference with the repre sentatives of the railroad workers' unions a working alliance for the ' purpose of securing the adoption of ELASTICITY OF ENGLISH. An authority on international re lations recorded, about twenty-five years ago, the observation that in every instance in which the United States had been party to a treaty written wholly in English the mean ing of one or more clauses had come into dispute, but that in no instance in which this country had been party to a treaty written in two languages had there ever been question as to its meaning. The peace treaty with Germany has both English and French author ized texts, yet none of the senators in dispute over interpretation of the covenant has thought to procure the French text for purpose of compart son. At least if one of them has, the result has not been disclosed to the publics. Although the fact has nothing to ao with difficulty of interpretation it is interesting to the student of the treaty to observe that it is written in English, in the restricted sense of the word. One finds therein the words "labour," "harbour," favour, "recognise" and others. But the distinguishing feature is found not alone in the matter of spelling. How many Americans can offhand define the verb "opt." The word is rarely used in America, but is not uncom mon in England. Its use in the fol lowing clause of the treaty relating to the plebiscite as to sovereignty of Schleswig makes clear its meaning: "Persons who have exercised th above right to opt must within th ensuing twelve -months transfer their place of residence to the state in favour of which they have opted." "Opt" may be found in the dic tionary, but one would look there in vain, for "nacelle" and fuselage." The latter are French contributions to the vocabulary of the person, be he American or English, who would f.peak intelligently of airplane parts. They are given definite recognition in the English text of the treaty in the requirement that Germany sur render certain aeronautical equipment. about 60 degrees Fahr., he occupied about two months in raising the tem perature to 73 degrees. At 73.5 de grees some deaths occurred and he found it impossible for some time to get by this point. But after consum ing two months in raising the tem perature 8. single djegree and keeping the animals alive, progress was much more rapid. At 78 degrees another danger point was reached, which it took eight months to overcome. But In six years he succeeded in produc ing animals which could live in water at 158 degrees. The average rate of progress was about 16 de grees a year, or one and one-third degrees a month, but it was not uni form. A strong point that Mr. Red field makes is that this became easier as time went on. Progress from 142 to 158 was made in less than four months. Mr. Redfield finds that the ana logy is borne out by examination of the petformances of noted race horses at different ages and by the milk product of pure-bred cows. Gold smith Maid, who gained in trotting power from the age of eight to the age of twenty, and of Flora Temple who similarly developed from five to sixteen, are classical examples. The difficulty of proving a contention by the case method, where so many un ascertainable factors may be involved. will be appreciated by investigators but Mr. Redfield makes a sincere ef fort not to generalize too hopefully. The occurrence of "sticking" points in every Instance which he has ex amined lead him to conclude that they are the rule. This phase of his study, which is open to examina tion by all who have access to the records of performances of animals, wilL be pursued at leisure by those who enjoy that sort of thing. The Binet tests of intelligence re cognize the principle of development of mental power by exercise of that power in children, and other tests indicate that mental development may be continued by persistent men tal exercise through adult life to comparatively old age. But the ser vice, if any, which Mr. Redfield per forms is in calling attention to the BY-PRODUCTS OF THE PRESS. Svrfnbnrne Put Meter and Rhythm of I Child's Poem Into Classic Drama.

The fact that President Wilson was sick in bed when he received King Albert of Belgium adds to rather than detracts from the in terest .attaching to the event. It caused all form and' ceremony to be waived and brought the two men to gether as men rather than as heads' of two nations. It gave the king's visit somewhat the character of a visit of sympathy to a sick friend instead of an official call in cour tesy to a brother statesman for ex change of hollow compliments. King Albert's visit is peculiarly significant, because he, as a heredi tary ruler, has been unusually hon ored by the people of a republic at a time when monarchy has fallen to low esteem, when members of de posed dynasties are renouncing their claims and titleS'Hjf rank and accept- and stops trying. Thus the physiolog ical sticking point becomes a psy chological one also, the latter reacts upon the former, and the effect is to stop further progress by checking the effort to overcome the obstacle. The outcome of Mr. Redfield's theory, like that of the theory of evo lution in general, is optimistic. It in dicates that, omitting individuals who have organic mental defects comparable to the loss of a limb, "sticking points" are normally to be expected, and can certainly be over come ifthe effort is persistently made. In the light of this novel physiological explanation of common periods of intellectual stagnation oc curring in both children and adulta, stick-to-itiveness takes on a new meaning and promises a new reward.

The greatest unintentional service which has been done to freedom by the Hohenzollerns, Hapsburgs and Ro manoffs is that they have brought monarchy into utter disrepute and have wrecked its claims to superi- orlty o v e r democratic rule as i means of good government and pub lie welfare.

The story of Miss O'Neill's business success starts 16 years ago as ste nographer. At that time her firm employed 90 men. Now their force numbers over 1600 and Miss O'Neill. The job is an unusual one, and per haps the nature of it has had much to do with the .fact that Miss O'Neill feels thatrehe could have attained much higher margin of success if she had been a man. She has known in stances where salesmen have refused the business of the company rather than do business with a woman, but she - has found that after she had proved that she knew as much about it as they did she found them easy to deal with. Inez Irwin the brilliant novelist, said in an address on eugenics in Bos ton recently: "Mercenary marriages are bad not only for the children, buV for the con trading parties as well. The parties to mercenary marriages fight like cat and dog. "The poor young husband ofone of these marriages had a terrific fight at breakfast on a spring morning with his rich and withered wife.

Mr. Cooper 'Writes of Walnat Culture and Harvesting Methods. McMIN'NVlLLE. Or., Oct. 30. (To the Editor.) Walnut growers and those interested in walnut growing certainly read The Oregonian. Re cently The Oregonian printed an item referring those to me who want information on the subject, and now that the walnut harvest is on in quiries have multiplied, and I will ask you to help me disseminate in formation such as we have. There is a shortage of grafted walnut trees at all of the nurseries in the northwest, so far as I know. Nearly all nurseries sell walnut trees or will procure them for customers when they are to be had. Some plant the nuts, either black or English, ancfl graft when necessary, when the tree is large, enough, which will be from three to five years. Anyone who goes into walnut growing will need pa tience, but the rewards will come The varieties most suited to this section are largely according to what the nurseryman has to sell and what the grower has planted. Franquette Wiltz, Mayette and Meyhan predom inate all good. Harvesting the walnut is a simple process. Pick up the nuts soon after they fall from the trees, every two or three days before they become discolored, and wash them. A good way to wash nuts is to make a wire basket of 1-inch mesh poultry net ting to fit inside a washtub; fill th tub with water and pour in a half bushel or more of nuts and churn them around for a minute or so with a broom; life them out and lower them into another tub of water to rinse them; lift them out and pour them onto a wire tray for drying. Plenty of air must circulate through the nuts or they will mold. Tem perature should not get above 90 de grees. Do not keep them in sacks or ouckets more than' 10 or 12 hours after they are picked up from the ground or they will mold. The above method is for a small crop.

War burg, ex-member of the Federal Re serve board, that "the more rapidly our national debt is genuinely paid for by the savings of the people, the sooner shall we be able to get away from the necessity of drastic taxa tion," is matched by that of' Dwight W. Morrow, before the International Trade conference at Atlantic City the other day, that "the hero of that en terprise (the combination of the peo ple in a campaign of saving) will be the old-fashioned man who spends less than he produces and. thus creates the fund without which all the plans' for the restoration of Eu rope must come to naught." ' Read ing "America" for "Europe" in the preceding sentence does not make it less true. There has been waste and there must be thrift to atone for it. No country on the globe has escaped the waste. Mr. Morrow told the delegates to the conference that if the people of the United States would save, in pro duction over consumption, only 20 cents a day for 300 days the prob lem, would be largely solved. Ob viously there are individuals among the 100,000,000 who could not save 0 cents a day or any other amount, but as an average the figure would not seem to be impossible. Although 20 cents is a small amount, it pro duces the stupendous aggregate of $6,000,000,000, which it is admitted would go a long way toward restor ing credit and therefore industry. has been made.

Appearance of such a man when the trend is so strongly toward re puDiics leads us to contrast some kingdoms with some republics for example Belgium under Albert with Mexico under Carranza.

' s Bert A Boyd, an Indianapolis grain dealer, played a joke on some mem bers of the Indiana congressional delegation, writes tho Washington correspondent of ths Indianapolis News. It was not a cruel joke on seme, because the joys and t"kicklng of a good bottle have never appealed to them, but It can be said with defl niteness that when Mr. Boyd sent to each member a quart bottle with the label "a bottle of rye," some of the Indianans were delighted for a mo ment or two. Inspection, however, showed that the bottle of rye was what it was said to be. It was a bottle of grains of rye, and was not liquid. Each member also received from Mr. Boyd poem, one stanza of which fol lows: Place this bottls on your table. Bow your head and kls the label Then imagine, U you're able.
