HOSE in our shipyards 'and '. rather : industries ' should ' com- ;poee their differences. Industrial wars are most disastrous in the effect tbe reports of tbem have In Europe. We can all recall how strikes in Germany were heralded throughout America i - as 'omens of the breakdown of Prusslanism. That was encourage ment to America to be more vigor out in tha nrsiaAMiMnn nt th. ,. in the hope that peace would sooner come. ' ',' A similar psycholoeical effect will Sweep through Germany as a on the Paciflo coast. They are ac- cepted abroad as sigtiB ot disunion in America, and as evidence to the ! German mind that the government - its powers into the struggle. , The, wars will be pointed to In Germany as proof that America is powerless to produce a maximum of .kl. a a.a . a l . . . imps wun wmcn to tnrow an ner resources into the straggle, and that will be encouragement to William to prolong, the war. It will be ma terial' which William can use to Induce the German peoplo to fight on, a fact that will necessarily in crease tne sacrifice of American - life and sacrifice of American re sources. ' Industrial unrest and industrial wars in America are used by Ger jjban agents to create dissatisfaction with the war among working peo ile in Russia. The claim in Russia h that the United States is no de- auuvravvjr, via nor woraiag people Kould not be fighting and undeN Inlnlng the government war activi ties. So unfortunate and so very peat is mis propaganaa in its effect pon the Russian workers that the president is going to send a com laission of American workers to Russia In hope of counteracting it. It has to be borne in mind that three centuries of near serfdom iave produced extraordinary im pulses In a public mind suddenly set free in Russia. Great groups of people there are in a mental state on . which magnified reports of in dustrial struggles in America are used by secret German agents with felling effect in discrediting the con dition and situation of the working group In the United States. It is therefore grievously unfortunate when industrial conflicts here mount to proportions ia which they afford agitators material with which to feed and inflame the Russian norm lace with doubts as to the American status. These are reasons for employer ind employes to be diligent in ef forts to compose their differences. Employers cannot put all .the blame fra the workers. They - can no longer ait back in self assurance rat they have nothing to concede. rhatT old oligarchical plan of Indus rial government in America has een exploded and banished by the w. -, A mighty change has taken lace -in which there is decreed 1 horter hours and living wages. It fa a change In which the emnlovar bust "concede to that reasonable zient which asaures workers a guarantee of a comfortable exist On the other hand, the workers fnust not be carried away and be ome tyrannical by their suddenly ealised Importance. They must he easonahle, be Just and he sound in heir demands to the end that the idvantages they have gained in the ublio mind may , not be lost by adicalism and inordinate demands. Above all, Since it is over ship tonstructlon that these wars are eihg waged, and sine multiplied ahips are the mightiest ot all the resources. America can -throw Into this conflict, the obligation npon both employers and workers to get toother mounts to transcendent Importance.'. . Ships," more ships will hasten peace. ; Ships, more f hips will hurry the : end of the t :eody ' sacrifice' and allow ' the .V-THE-PATRIOT'S DUTY -, , -r . wr. william j; bryan . - T HE constitution our organic to declare war and congress to exist. ' N J-"-' -.' The constitution makes the 'president commander-in-chief of the 'army "and the navy, and the president is directing the war on land and sea; ' ' .- ' '--;';' ' f " -The constitution gives to congress the right to levy taxes "and to borrow money, and congress is doing both. - . . .; .The president and congress were elected by the people and are responsible to the people; they speak for therpeople the people have no other spokesmen. .Acquiescence in the will of the people. expressed ' through their authorized representatives', Is -'the first law: of republic s.'. There is no alternative but anarchy." Before the government acts, discussion is proper; after action, obedience is a duty. , absent American hoys in khaki to come trooping home. " - Before such momentous alterna tires, how can tbe parties to the dispute answer to their conscience Iheir country and the Moat High, if they keep ship construction long stagnated? . f A suit- against the Southern Pa cific for an accounting of moneys it received In excess of ' fl.50 per acre on the Oregon grant lands Is a new development In the program of the United States-' The excess so taken by the railroad totals to a very large sum. AH EXTRA SESSION? C incern and aid, not charity, for soldiers' ramiues is a worthy proposal. ; It would he assuring to those who go away to fight It would be some recompense for the sac rifice of those who are left behind. It would be high example of ap preciation of the country's de fenders. i, There can be no controversy over the contention that the cost of this assistance should be borne by all and not by a few. It- will be agreed that some give and others do not, and thaf many are bled white financially by calls for war contributions.' It is therefore to be accepted as true that so im portant a cause as assistance for soldiers' families should be through use of public money raised by taxation, payable by all. , A special session of the legisla ture to provide' funds is unani mously favored by the members' council of the Portland Chamber of ' Commerce. There are always objections to special legislative sessions. Once assembled, members are too prone to project legisla tion not contemplated in the call. There is also the cost of a special session. Theso are admitted to be real objections. But Governor Withycombe, who is said to favor , the session, can do much to obviate these objec tions. In such - a- cause, he" can justifiably call upon members, in advance, to forego extraneous leg islative tinkering. -"In such a cause, the members themselves will be found willing not only to forego unnecessary legislation, but will be more than willing to make per sonal sacrifices as a personal re ward to those who have gone away to defend America. Thus, in ad vance, it would seem that the na ture of the cause and the presence of this mighty crisis would alone guarantee highly patriotic action by the legislative body. As further objection, there Is said to be . question as to whether or not there are funds available for the purpose. This Is a mere matter of detail that advanced In vestigation can speedily determine. And it is assumed that with such an end in view, there would be a liberal interpretation ot laws , to the end that funds may be found that can be used. If there are no funds, there can be no session. The discussion recalls that a special session has been urged for the purpose of giving " Portland larger powers in aiding or financ ing shipping lines. It is explained that through such action a. full year ot time could be gained In getting ships tor Portland: Jtf there ever was a time for Portland and the Northwest , to know what shipping Is worth, these days of differentiated wheat prices are that time. - They are a mourn ful story of a " loss ot millions through lack Ot Portland shipping, and theic mournfulness la accentu ated by the fact that there Is pros pect ot another loss like it when the time cbmes tor fixing wheat prices next year. Herbert Hoover, ? whose experi ence lh Belgium Should ' enable him to speak with more than usual authority on the subject, declared in a speech at Atlantic City that starvation, will win the war, and that the side which best husbands its tood resources will get the mili tary decision. Jtt is a statement worth remembering. PRICE PLTJCTG I T IS difficult to see .the point ot a : recent - comment on govern- ment nrica rixme "if t m. v ernment fixes the' price of wheat, why should it not tlx the price ot the machinery with which the Crop Is produced?" Who will supply the answer? How far will price y fixing have to proceed he- fore it" touches : the ' root t of J the trouble and makes life worth liv ing again -tor the poor?. b it we listen to the' master bakers it looks as if the government might law vests in congress thexight has declared a state of war "4. - -f have' to travel a long road.f "We did sot raise the price of the loaf when wheat went up' they,j)Iead. so we are not going to lower it when: wheat; goes down.". ".We all understand how they did not ralse the price of the loaf. . It only .went from five cents to tea, with cer tain nibbllngs at tbe weight. : This is but "a miserable nickel only five times the percentage of increase; demanded by our impov erished street oar monopoly. ... it is a mere trifle, hut in communities less r accustomed to being ridden over by mononolles ' than we are, It would have excited bread riots. There has been a wide demand, led by Colonel Roosevelt, for the prohibition during the war of the publication of newspapers in the German language. The insistence arose from the fact that many such papers were not loyal to the American government and went as far as they could in sowing the seeds of sedition. r . INDEFENSIBLE SHOE PRICES A PORTLAND and Seattle deal er in hides, " in sending "out his price lists for the current week, says: We do not know whether the mar Jtet has reached the bottom or not It Is impossible to Interest tanners in hides. Xbo leather market is dull, with large supplies of hides -and leath er in all parts of the country. And while the leather market Is dull, with large supplies of hides and leather in all parts of the country, we are tofd by the boot barons of the east that because of the inordinate war demand and the unparalleled shortage in leath er it will be absolutely necessary for us to pay higher and still higher prices for the shoes we wear. One Chicago dealer even rises to say that the working people UwiU have to wear wooden shoes it the war lasts another year tr ia Voftino- iA,..Tnever ftsured Out the old Indian's sya- It IS getting tO. be that leather Item at m.thmtfclLnl maj-ka(tna-J& costs so much that few can afford to carry a leather purse. The local hide dealer tells us that it is impossible to interest tan ners in hides. It is peculiar, to the lay mind, that the tanneries of the country would not be clam oring tor' hides when there is claimed to be such a world wide dearth ot leather Vexing the v boot and shoe makers of the nation. With the shoe factories declared to be glutted with orders, unf ill able because ot lack of leather. It would seem 'that thejr- wou,ld be howling at the tanneries, that the tanneries would be yelling at the buyers and that' the buyers would be grabbing .the hides wherever they could find them, on a rising rather than a falling market. Light is shed on the question by the statistics presented before con gress during the recent debate on the war revenue bill.' It was then shown that the United States Leather corporation had netted a dividend profit of 14.00 per cent during the past year. The boot and shoe business has not suffered because of the abnormal conditions resulting from the war. Four dol lar shoes for the baby, twelve dol lar shoes for the wife and ten dol lar .shoes for father, if ha has been able to get theyprice, has yielded 1400 per cent dividends to the leather trust. And in the face of it all we are told on the one hand that Ihe top price for shoes has not yet reached ns, while on the other the hide dealers say they do not know whether the hide market has reached bottom or not. The government should act. DEVELOPING HIGHWAYS w ITH the railroads of the country taxed to the limit. making frequent embargoes of additional freight neces sary, it is obvious that other means of-transportation must be devel oped and utilised.. : In a : recent public U btatement Secretary, of Commerce Redfield pointed out the patriotic duties of communities located Ton navigable Inland waters to divert as much shipping as possible to these water ways " i i -. -r - - ."v-l- . "'. In addition to the waterways the highways of the nation are a source of relief... ' . - " .. With enormous farm products to be moved this fall and ' greatly In creased Output of mills and facto ries the . highways will be . called on to -carry a great deal more of the nation commerce:.: than ever before, Not only wiir the volume ot ; hauling overs" short - roads r be much heavier but there twin be & much larger development in - the use Of auto trucks for local distri bution and :for. freighting -over through 'routes of 100 s miles or mora. .t ;. A logical development Mil also bo a Unking together of highways and waterways, each supplementing the other. It patriotio and: far vls loned men in r waterway territory make proper use of the rivers, as the department of commerce re quests. r ' - ; r : .'-' y -' OCR MILK t HE middlemen who receive milk from the dairymen, and distribute it to families in Portland have testified pub licly: that it costs them 9.Z2 cents the. quart to perform this service They pay the dairymen 5.02 cents Delivered - on the family doorstep.' they say, the cost amounts to 11.84 cents. The difference Is 6.82 cents. - The delivery of the milk within the city costs 20 per cent more, by these figures, than ' its production on the farm and transportation to the city market. This appears to be unreasonable ' There must be much, friction and waste in the de livery .system. Perhaps we might for there can be no system in a process which yields such results ' The business of distributing milk in Portland should . be carefully studied and then it should be reg ulated with a firm hand. Duplica tion of routes should he forbidden. Depots should be provided, under strict '! supervision, in corner gro ceries. The subject is too serious to he neglected. TRAVEL STORIES OF NORTHWEST By rred lockley Seven Oregon counties border on the ocean. From north to south they are Clatsop. . Tillamook, Lincoln, La.no, Douglas, Coos and Curry. Lincoln county Is broader than it is deep. It la Ilka a vast show window and tin goods on display ia the show window are the infinite variety and fctauty of the Pacific ocean and its picturesque snora line. X. have had occasion. 'to become pretty wen acquainted with Lincoln county, I spent a vacation some years ago n the Salmon river. Devils lake and Si leu bay district in the extreme north ern part of Lincoln county. We drovu over a most execrable road from Salem to Salmon river. Wa reached the mouth of Salmon river at about suo- par time, with a ravenous appetite. and seeing an old Indian with a aprua root basket full of fish I decided to buy some for our supper rather than to delay supper till we could Catah some. I asked him what they were worth and he said; "You pick 'em out what you want, six bits a dozen. You no want a doaen. then B cents apiece." I explained to him that' his rate by the aozen wag mgner tnan cry the single nan. ana he said: "Sure. Harder to catch a dozen than just two or three, so charge more' I decided to buy six at rive cents eacn. - we were both satisfied; though to, this day I have tem of mathematics and marketings. a ' - From Salmon river we went ud the coast to Devils lake, where we found another old Indian with & voice hoarse as ,a frog and a very limited knowledge Of English. His name was Stewart Rooney and we hired him to take us aorosa Devils lake in a very anclsnt dugout. The canoe was a one- man canoe, but we decided by using extreme care we could cross the lake with three in the canoe. '. Stewa Roonay wielded a paddle In front. handled one in the rear. and Charley, my damp mate, sat between us. We were nacked like sardines in the' due out, and before we had got very far frem shore Charley was sitting in a rapidly enlarging .pool of water that poured in through the cracks on the sides ot the dugout. "Maybe so you better bale," croaked the Indian. Char ley took off his hat and fell to baling nut in spite of ma most etiergetlc ef forts, the water oame in faster than be could bale it out. "Maybe so padd fast get to-shore," said Rooney over his shoulder to me. We qulokened our stroke. The water -continued to rise and the boat to go lower in the watar. Maybe so boat sink soon," volun teered our ' raven-voiced ' boatman. Charley couldn't swim, so he made the water fairly fly out or tbe leaky old hollowed out log. "Maybe so you bet ter swim,", said Stewart Rooney -as the boat quietly sank from sight. It settled so quickly, that in an Instant we were still Sitting in the canoe wit only our heads- above Water. We .de elded: "Maybe so we better swim," but fortunately the water was' shallow and Charley did not have to take his first swimming lesson, and we waded adhore. - 'i a We camped by the ocean shore just where. Sllets bay ' empties into the ocean, ana nenea ana aug ciams and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We de Clded to explore Silets bay. so hind a . Domnwai . rswroai ana wnue -I rowed Charley nut out his line to tro.1 for salmon. A sudden squall came a-j and the bay became so choppy we began td ship quite a bit or water, ana not wanting the beat to "maybe So : sink."' we made our way to the nearest shore. Soon a hard rain came on. Near where we landed were several Indian tepees. A wrinkled old squaw, as sisted by a very .pretty Indian gtrL was frying fish in a long-handled fry ing pan over a camp fire. The Indian glrf bashfully invited Us to come over and eat with tbem, which - invitatis-i we accepted with great alacrity On another trip I took lh the Depot bay country, north of Cape Foulwea tner, and on still another trip I- went by team up the coaat from Newport to Ottetr Rock ana the diatrictthert about.

' One of the moat Interesting trips 1 ever made through Lincoln eounty was ty rig from Corvallis down the Alsea valley to Tidewater, where we -drove aboard a scow and rowed down the Alsea river to Waldport.

And .it is charged that the railway company was responsible fOr the failure of the city to secure Hawthorne park as a pleasure spot, be cause it meant loss of revenue to tbe railway. It is these and other reasons which arouse antagonism to an increased fare, and as the franchise under whtcn they operate regulated the fare and Vas indorsed by the people, who are already burdened by high cost of llv ing, it will be wisdom on the part of Mr. Griffith to call off the attempt and pay the men what they ask and re vise figures as to value of holdings so as to show Income large enough ras many believe it to be. JOHN WILLIAMS, Arraigns Wealth's Slacking Hoquiam, Wash., Sept. S. To the Editor of The Journal Most of - our to say The Journal cannot reasonably be included, are screeching from the housetops for a rope to be put around the worklngman's neck that dares to demand anything in the form of a de cent wage for his labor. Also, they are practically unanimous in Condon ing all acts of violence such as took place at Blsbee , and Butte. But we have yet to hearNme of these mob in- clters rebuke the majority of the United States senate, the body that passed a law to conscript the life and limb of all between 21 and SI years of age, but cannot bring itself to con script even a reasonable portion of dot lars with which to par the bills they are so ready and eager to fasten on the country. We are informed that we should not be hard on capital lest wa make the war unpopular. If we took every ill-rotten dollar these men have we would not be taking as much as If I we should take the life of one man j in -the trenches. How much do these valuable "patriots" consider their UveS are worth? Will they take gold for them? President WUson has advised con gress to go back home and see what the people want. That is surely timely advice for those who are sworn to serve the people but draw their inspir- ation from wail street. When .we ra-. ceive tnem nacK in our arma. we may throw a ..strangle hold on them that will ever prevent them from getting so tar away zrom us again. He that is free from the sin of slack ing can throw the first stone at the worklngman so affected. . I was born and reared In this coun try, and my people on both' sides have lived here longer than lots of these dollar patriots. These are my sent! ments. If I am wrong, I will thank anyone to point it' out. ' R. E. MORROW. .

Wasblngtoo ataff Correspondent of Tha Journal Washington. Sept. SO. Herbert C. Hoover and his corps ot food expert, are strong for fish. While pork Is hlgu. mutton more so, and beefateak un thinkable, consider the fish. There s many a fish in the brook and In the ptJght t mna mfcad to do jJ" b, . v.. .f. wnen c, wlth ot tbe othK; neoDlea of tha earth, and there is a parantly no explanation for the fait that the Canadians eat, man for man. three timea as much. 1 the Hoover firuraa th conmarlson shows IS pounds a year average per capita In America and 57 pounds In Canada. Nor 29 pounds respectively, are naturaly exnected to be among the heavy pa-. trons of the fish counter, but way should Holland use only 15 pounds per capita? Seemingly it Is a matter of education and habit. 00 Hoover is urging that the people of this country acquire a stronger leaning for the food that comae from the. waters of ocean and river and Is simply waiting to be oaught and eaten. In this country, he says, people ordin arily - know of only a few kinds .f fish. They think In terms of codf lsn, salmon, halibut- and trout, and here and there of oysters and dams, for HOW TO BE EXERCISE FOR THE SKIN (From Dr. Kellogg-s "Good Health.") -A daily bath should be taken regu larly on rising. The temperature of the water should be cold, or at least j cool, ao that a strong reaction will be ! produced. The application should be HO "Vre ,v"" to one or two minutes at the longest and should be followed by quick dry ing and vigorous rubbing with . a towel. The lower the temperature of the water the shorter should be the duration of the bath. The purpose of the morning bath Is not Cleanliness, although It aids in k'ep'nc ,tn kln clean, but is skin gymnastics, or training. nnen 1W7 cold water is applied to the skin there Is a sudden contraction of the blood vessels. This Is quickly followed, es pecially when the skin is thoroughly rubbed, by a dilatation of the vessels the .skin, which causes reddening of the surface and a feeling of warmth, though the akin may still be cool; and a general, sensation of buoy ancy, exhlllration and vigor. This sort of bath is a real exercise or vasomotor gymnastics for the skin. When taken daily, the nerves and ves sels 01 tne saun are maintainea in mo healthy and vigorous a state that they are able quickly to react wnen exposea to the cold, thus avoiding the Injuri ous effects that follow slight exposure, and in most persons give rise to what Is commonly -known as a cold, a condi tion that not infrequently- serves as an introduction to pneumonia, con sumption, chronic catarrah of the I nose, throat, of chest, rheumatism and various other maladies. Persons who practise daily cold bathing are little subject to colds. The' idea that the daily bath Is debilitating and injurious, and especi ally that cold baths are weakening and dangerous and. lead to consump tion, etc., is entirely an error. It la only the abuse of the bath that is to be condemned. A short cool batn of the BoothsJCelly Lumber company at Eugene, and J. R. Shaw, manager of tha Hammond mm at Mill City.

The food cont-oi:ef in Canada ia said to have made remarkable progress In Inducing the people of the dominion to still, further increase their fish ration, and only last week arranged tor 15 additional refrigerator cars to carry Atlantic fieh to the Interior of the country. Special fish trains are to be run to supply the demand. The fisher men, the railways and the food con troller are working together to keep the fresh fish supply up t,o the: de mand. Canada is particularly concern'! in saving all the meat she can . for export, and the fish crusade is becom ing a large factor. Hoover believes that fish of many kinds would find a welcome at Ameri can tables if only they .were tried. H has Issued a list of the leading kinds available for the market, excluding those found locally or In small quanti ties In his first group of migratory shore fish, headed by blueflsh, mack erel and salmon, he includes 50 varie ties. In the second group of those found In fishing banks and grounds ho includes 16, making cod and bait but th leaders. His freshwater list Includes about SS. with the trout and wbiteflsh for htadliners. In the final group Of crustaceans come the oysters, clams, crsbs. lobsters and other lowly seashore visitors. HEALTHY .taken In a warm room, followed by vigorous rubbing and exercise until a good circulation is established, has never been known to injure any per son; but cars must be taken to secure prompt and thorough reaction. If. the bands and feet continue cold for some time, or the head aches, tbe bathshould-.be shorter the rubbing more vigorous, or perhaps the exercise should be continued for a longer time. By degrees tbe ability to react improves, so that colder water and longer applications may be advan tageously employed. The benefits of the cold bath are not experienced In the skin alone; the whole body partakes In the reaction. The contact of the cold water with the skin arouses the brain and the spinal cord, the heart. . lungs, liver, and every internal, organ to renewed activity. Tha heart pumps with-re newed vigor, blood Is forced Into every nook and corner of he system, the sluggish brain is aroused, the slow stomach is awakened to action, Its glands are stimulated to produce gas tric Juice, a craving, for food follows, and with the improved appetite comes improved digestion. The whole body Is excited to increased activity. With the dilatation of the surface vessels and the filling of the skin with blood. the congested brain and other organs which have been overfilled with blood are .relieved; their burdens are light ened, and the wheels of life run more swiftly and with lessened friction. The cold morning bath is the most powerful of all tonics known and its daily employment Is a duty which every civilised being owes to himself. It Is not simply cleansing or polish ing the outside of the body temple. but through tbe association of the in side with tne outside its effect Is a brightening and polishing of all the temple furniture and of every inner apartment.
