rrr - JUNKER AtfD BOLSHEVIK!
SATIRISTS said derisively of the
French revolution that "It de
voured its children." For the
. moment it seems possible that
German militarism might yet devour
its misbegotten offspring, the kaiser.
In tho French revolution one group
of leaders after another was guil
- loUned because it was not radical
" enough. The kaiser is not militarist
enough to satisfy the war lords. So
there Is clamor for a dictator in his
, place. At least the censored and
'washed out dispatches say something
of that sort, and it Is natural and
.probable.
. The kaiser Is not a fooL He is a
,.. man of parts, a good deal like
Theodore Roosevelt in character, airT
; bltious,. violent but capable at the
same time of controlling himself
when his Interests are at stake. He
' knows that the longer, the war lasts
' the, worse It will be for his country
eodf his dynasty. Hence, with the
fighting at an apparent stalemate, he
inclines toward peace and modera
tion.
The war lords, with the crown
. prinoe at their heau, are extremist.
, Like Insane gamblers they want to
- stake j everything on a single throw
. of the dice. If they win, the world
Is at their feet to plunder and rule.
If. they lose they still have the fun
of the game. They are ready to
drain the cup of fate to the lees.
taking no counsel of base' discre
tlon.
The subdued and docile German
. people have thus far taken no part
In the war councils of their country.
They have paid taxes, fought and
starved in meek obedience like a na
tion of automata.
But the Germans have brains and
! consciences though both have been
. dormant too long. They are now
wakening, unless all accounts are
false, and beginning to ask "why?"
Thrones are set trembling the instant
, the people begin to ask "why."
( There are accounts of mutinies on
the Russian front. Some of the So
cialists have unmistakably roused
themselves from their dull worship
of Karl Marx and -war and begun
to, act up to their principles.

yesterday and tomorrow in
Portland, . ;
ORTLAXD'ls highly prosperous. " .
Not longr agoti the city was ! in commercial ana industrial gioom.
Today, business Is booming. . Money freely circulates Christmas
shopping outdid all hibtory of Christmas shopping In Portland. Crowds
clamor at business places' for clerks to serve their needs.
The air Is surcharged with business optimism. Profits are larger. The
volume of tales is greatly augmented. Even with conservation In many
lines practiced, buying is active and the best qualities demanded.
Vacant houses are filling up.. Rentals are Increasing. The crowds on
the streets are moving'swUtly as though they had something to do. Jdlers
are lew, and becoming, fewer, . The whole , atmosphere is .one , of buoyancy
and drive. - ' . - - - " a : '
There is a tremendous lessSft' in the situation. 'There' are 16,000 men In
an industry in which there was no man yesterday; A great shipbuilding
industry has sprung up. Its thousands on the'' new" payrolls are receiving
big wages. Your worker is always a spender. If his wage is high, ' he has
more buying powar. The test of his spending is the size of his pocketbook.
The higher his wage the more money he pours Into . 'the channels and
streams of business. . . ''y--- "v-"v-:
And the 16J00O workers in an Industry in which there was none before,
are a new payroll of a million a month in Portland.? It has made a new
city. It Is a transformed city. It is a city of gloom.made a city Of vigor
and drive and buoyancy. ; - ... .."-.V: f
Purse strings are no longer gripped with - a frenzied clutch. 5 Quarters
are not squeezed until the eagle shrieks with pain. A nickel is no longer
treasured 'and clung to as a last possession. - Money is everywhere and is
circulating instead of being hoarded.
One. great industry did it. The new shipbuilding payroll wrought the
transformation from gloonv to gladness, from inactivity to drive, from pes
simism to hope. It is an eventuation that there is no way to misunderstand.
Payrolls, payrolls;' payrolls are Ihe way kr prosperity!" an abundance, the
way)to business 'and -"plenty thKvay to gladness anicheer. H 1i- -
fhe 16,000 workers are creating new wealth at the rate of a million a
month. Tomorrow, their creations will be greatly augmented. A-shipyard
that The Journal could name had 350 men a few weeks ago ; it has 2000 now,
Another with 700 now will have 5000 as soon as the plant can accommodate
them and the workers be obtained.
The 16,000 workers of today -are fashioning the crude products of the
earth, into finished product. The raw materials in the forest and other
where are taken at little more than nothing and made by human hands Into
implements or enormous value. It is the conversion of rawi resources, into.
quicK maae weaim, ana especially m ine case or wooaea ships, nearly the
whole is paid out in wages and for material in the immediate community.
We are to build 150 ships this year. We may build 200. steel and wood.
We are to grow rich on this single great payroll. We are learning through
i.ti . i j - k. - n.
icitcrs goia wuai payrolls mean.
Every house in Portland is worth more. Every business in Portland has
enhanced opportanity for profit. Every industry feels the enlivening and
heartening touch of this single great payroll. Every investor's holdings are
made more secure' with greater chance of profit. Every publio service
activity is on safer and more profitable ground.
in the light of the change, in the swift jump of Portland from nloom into
gladness, is there not appeal for every Portlander with a dollar to invest
to think of payrolls, to plan for payrolls, to struggle for Davrolls. to

andtBolshevlkl, the German people

Amoving.5. If they ever do some of the
; social cataclysms of history may be
repeated. This is evidently the con
Tlction of President Wilson as re
vealed by his appeals in almost every
;publlo utterance to the thought and
hopes ; of freedom in the German
masses.
The present rumblings in kaiser-
domr are the r strongest' of ali i in
centlves for America; to go forward
' In. her war program with the utmost
vigor: ,
y The Portland publio schools are or-
ganizing for a war savings stamp
drive.. State Superintendent Churchill
is planning the same thing for all
the Oregon schools. It Is a most
useful ahd, iracycalftUTposeir But
th school : pupils are not the only
ones ; who should s learn thrift by
lending their savings to the country
to help, fight the war. It is every-
DOdys job and everybody's privilege,
Will it be red like the Indians, with
high cheek bones and long, coarse,
black hair?
Many eminent scientific men pre
dict that our children in a century
or two will be physical replicas of
the Indians. The Roosevelts of that
coming day will look like old Te
cumseh. The Websters will be
twin brothers to Sitting BulL The
Wilsons will be images of Chief Jo
seph who, if we may believe Colonel
C. E. S. Wood, was the mirror of
chivalry as well as a competent
fighter.
The Indians were not aboriginees
here. They came from somewhere
else, quite likely from Mdngolia
across Bearing straits. They do not
look a great deal like any Asiatics
we have seen.-but we must remem
ber that tlme?tnd environment have
altered them. " Time and environment
will also alter us and, since the
same causes are at work, we may
expect the effect to be similar. There
is solid ground for expecting our
grandchildren of remote generations
to resemble Hiawatha and Minnehaha
in feature and color. '
Shall we weep over the prospect?
Not at all. The Indian blood, where
it has mingled with the British, has
been a good strain in 'American life.
We know that " some of the "first
families of Virginia" run their pedi
grees back to Powhatan and his
charming daughter, Pocahontas, and
are proud of their lineage, as well
they may be.
The Uncontaminated Indian was
proud, honest, truthful and lazy, all
of which virtues are the boast' of
our own plutocracy and the British
aristocracy as well.
He lived upon these shores for
many centuries without any trusts,
politicians, jails or saloons. He had
no palaces but neither had he any
slums. He had no labor unions.
If in assuming the bodily appear

don the old go-it-alone method. They
are working together.
To point the -moral we could tell
the reader of a fine potato distriot
not a great many miles from Port
land where, the farmers have been
pianung considerable tracts for many
years. Some years they get a good
price. Some years there is no sale
for the potatoes, which rot or are fed
1o swine.
Never ia any year have the farmers
a word to say about the price they
get That is all settled for them by
speculators and middlemen. They
have followed this hit-6r-njiss way
for 50 years or more without a
thought that there is-anything'better.
In every section of Oregon and
Washington where . potatoes are
grown an association would yield
great benefit to the farmers. It
would enable them to study the mar
ket systematically;-., introduce im
proved cultural methods, obtain bet
ter seed and, to : a certain extent.
better their own prices. The larger
me association and the bigger the
crop ii controlled, the. nearer it
could come to price fixlpg. Market
ing power is like banking power. It
increases rapidly with the volume of
the commodity. '
Good potato seed is one of the
prime needs of Oregon and Washing
ton, une old stock has "run out'
oaaiy almost everywhere. It is so
decadent that the vines rarely pro
duce the tiny green spheres bearing
tne true potato seed. A vigorous as
sociation can do a great deal more in
the way of replenishing seed than
any individual can unless his means
are opulent.

.VIBRATIONS
T
HE word "vibrations" is used a
good deal currently by people
who know what It means, and
oy 6ome who do not. The word
wave" Is less used, though Jt means
more and Is shorter. A wave ia the
total onward movement set ud bv
an immense number of vibrations:
It is thus that light travels. Count
less ether partioles are vibrating in
unison. Eacn particle passes Its
own motion on to another and comes
to rest. Thus the vibrations contlnu
ally die aqd are resurrected, while
tne wave sweeps on and never dies,
A wave is Ukft th(' lifef .a nation
or tne wnoie world, whioh is ever
lasting. The life of an individual,
which passes away from him Into
the next generation, is like a vibra
tion.
Sound travels like light, only ths
vibrating particles are not ether but
air. Just as waves of light give us
tne narmony and discord of color,
so waves of sound give us music.
Light waves can be made to pour
out of the most inert material if
we heat it hot enough. Even com
mon clay will do it, though the tem
perature must be high. -
Little by little as the heat filters
through its substance the clay seems
.i vuange iis, nature, , taking on
strange angelicr attributes. First it
emits dull red waves like streams' of
blood. As the- heat rises, the colors
purify, cleansing themselves, as it
were, of dross, and striving toward
the heavenly white.
At last the bloody hue Is gone The
way has lost its earthiness, its lust,
its dead inertness ; It , fills Hhe air
with waves immaculately white.Heat
did the , miracle. It is the heatof
fire or ' passion- that sets lhe atoms
vibrating and builds up mighty waves
to sweep through time and space.
