The women voters of Oregoa are now registered for the election of November 3, 1914. They are about to be judged as political factors. A Helen of Troy, a Catherine, a Diana, a female lobbyist or a woman schem- r has ever figured in the history of the past. It does not take a ballot box to put women into politics. Such means little to the class referred to, because they have other ways to gain their ends. But to the woman of moral purpose and high aims the ballot is a legiti mate way of expression and a fit weapon to use to make this world better. Her ambition Is the greater welfare of mankind and thus she is willing to use this new acquisition, her vote. There is a third class of women, the timid and inert, who move slow ly, if at all. They are first cousins to those 153,000 men of Oregon who defeated several good measures in 1910 because they lived in Selfish house, on uazy street. If they con tinue to reside they will be little bet ter than those political manipulators who essay to dominate our state to her undoing. Associated with them are old-time women lobbyists. Some of them have been imported, we are told, to work for national suffrage and inci dentally for the interests of "the ring" who were routed some years ago. It is surmised the liquor inter ests have added them to their scen ery. They seem also to claim Abigail Scott Dunhvay. If so, she has' lost her sceptre and the crown she might have worn. I hold in my hands a book pub lished in uregon in 1859. It was wr'tten by Abigail Scott Duniway. It is entitled "Farmer Gray's Com pany." The following are extracts from its preface: "My object has been to write a book which the world's workers shall read with bene fit. I earnestly believe in the princi ples advocated and wish the reader to think and investigate. Let him, with the Bible as a text book, search and know for himself. Skeptics, ye who live merely that you may cat, drink and die, this book Is not for you." Throughout its pages It holds the drunkard to 'scorn and bestows pity on his family and on his victims. In "1879, at a ctate temperance con vention held at Albany, Mrs. Duni way was present. Up to that date she had upheld the principles set forth in heibook. This society re fused to embody woman's suffrage In Its resolutions at her request, and, it is said, her voice was no longer heard in tho halls of temperance. Benedict Arnold, one of America's most brilliant sons, fancying he was set aside and not fully appreciated, later dishonored the name he bore by proving false to his conscience and to his country. When the mighty are fallen one cannot help but grieve. ' Good women will Inevitably follow those leaders that stand for unflinch ing Integrity. These, later, will play their part In the politics of Oregon, and play It well; nor will they be de ceived by the voices that lure, even of their own sex. MRS. M. M.

'"The Rainbow" has been the only protecting warrior of Immediate ser vice along the entire coast, and Brit ish and Canadian vessel owners have at last felt themselves compelled, for certain monetary considerations, to transfer all sea-going vessels into the safe-keeping of Uncle Sam. , A transfer of this nature took place the other day, when Mr. ' Frank D. Black (son-in-law of Professor Gil more of this city), his brother, Charles H. Black, and a Captain Cterling, all of Seattle, became the joint proprietors of a large six-masted brig. The vessel was rechristened before being made over to its new owners, and this is how an eye-witness describes the ceremony: "The brig had been an English or Canadian sailing vessel until the war began, and in order to have it able to continue service they were obliged to change the name and flag. We had the reading of the 91st Psalm at the renaming, in which occurs these appropriate verses: " 'For he shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter and from the noisome pestilence.' 'Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night, nor fpr the arrow that flieth by day.' 'A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.' "After the reading of this psalm the captain's daughter broke a bottle of Cedar river water over the ship's side, just as the English flag was taken down and the Stars and Stripes flung in the breeze. There was a sweet Australian girl aboard and she was sorely oppressed (with so much war news floating in the air) on see ing the Union Jack disappear, but, as with so many other British sons and daughters, believed that steadfast hope and 'watchful waiting' will In their own good time bring other things to pass. v "Verily this, the greatest of all wars, Is heartrending in a thousand different and unexpected channels."

So cunningly and adroitly are these bills worded there is grave danger that many people will be deceived. If these measures become laws the result will be that the State will take title to the tidelands and submerged lands and will be prohibited from selling any of these lands. They can only be leased for docks. No more ship-yards, saw-mills, canneries or other plants requiring access to deep water nothing but docks, docks, docks. Every citizen of Oregon wage earner, farmer, business man or woman wants to prosper. These measures if enacted will throttle progress at the gate. Investors will shun Oregon. This means no work for the wage-earner, nothing to pay the store keeper with, and therefore nothing to pass on to the farmer or producer. Let no one think these bills do not concern him. Before you go into the booth to vote, read 329 and 331 carefully. Talk to your neighbors about them. Oregon is rich in natural resources, but poor in development. What the state needs above everything else is outside money to come in and develop its resources That means GOOD WAGES, PLENTY OF WORK, GOOD PRICES and GOOD TIMES.
