'E WANT to win this wan
We want everybody's help.
We must have no division
at home. We must pull no
geod American down. Let us permit
no loyal" worker for the cause to feel
that his endeavor is' unappreciated.
If . unkind words have been said, let
u all forget them. We must win
this war."
ANY persons are fascinated by
the romance of the Russian'
revolution. They fail to per
ceive the woeful want of com
mon sense that has vitiated so much
of its work. We hear a great deal
from them about "the whirlwind
spread of the revolution through
Europe." . , ' ! " . !
If there is any such whirlwind it
keeps wonderfully quiet. W'hat we
do hear and see Is a terrific spread
of Prussianism. The whole western
rim of Russia was run through the
kaiser's mill weeks ago. Now the
Ukraine follows suit. All native
officials have been dismissed, accord-
ing to the latest reports, and Austro
Germans put in their places. Tha
towns are garrisoned with the kai
ser's troops.
When he has finished with th
Ukraine the kaiser will proceed to
devour other parts of Russia which
lie waiting for his will like a lame
lamb at the feet of a lion. We shall
see what becomes of the revolution
in the progress of this game.
The Russians made the gross blun
der of imagining that they could put
democracy into action in the face of
a militant autocracy without any
fighting. Their plan was to yield
everything and thus buy the kaiser's
friendship. They got the same friend
ship that the kid gets which lies
down before a hungry tiger.
Wilhelm will destroy the revolti
on piecemeal and put the czar
back on his throne. He has already
talk in the air about a revival of her
This was the spirit In which W. F.
Woodward talked . yesterday to The
Journal The words are, in effect,
his words. The thought is his
-thought, the prayer his prayer. The
utterance came from him on a bed
of pain In his home, where he is
confined with an attack of lumbago.
The reference is, of course, to the
controversy over the Hunt case. It
Is an 'appeal to all to forget what
has happened. It is the course asked
for by the man to whom public sen
timent strongly turned for his action
' on the library board.
It is splendid advice. It is the spirit
that makes for national strength, the
strength out of which to hang the
Star.9 and Stripes over the tower of
' Berlin.
', In the heat and excitement over
. the Hunt case, there have been calls
for Mr. Ayer to retire from his posi
tion in the war work. Mr. Wood'
. ward's statement is a fervent appeal
T for these suggestions to be forgotten.
And when we all stop to think
about it, how easy it is for us to
see that Mr. Woodward is again
sound in his advice and wise In his
counsel. From the first, Mr. Ayer
has been an earnest and devoted
'worker In the great cause to which
we all pledge our livos, our fortunes
and our sacred honor.
Mr. Ayer was the man who led
Oregon's drive for the Red Cross
The deep feeling with which he en
tercd into that arduous struggle,-the
quiet" but devoted earnestness and
endless toll with which he worked
sre well remembered by alt those
assoolated with that memorable strug
gle. The results that came of the
effort are proof of how well the
drive was captained.
This is but a small fraction of
the war work of "Mr. Ayer. Ilia time,
'his means and his energies have been
from the beginning of the war, his
country's. Ills tireless endeavors and
exacting sacrifices as food adminis
trator are other responsibilities fully
.. met, other gifts laid at the feet
his countrymen.
It would be but a poor requital
because of difference over a fool-
Ihh woman's fad, for Mr. Ayer to be
seriously asked to quit his post of
. duty, to drop out of the ranks in
this fight against kaiserdom. If
nothing else, it would be bad strat-
. gy" to lose so good a fighter and so
loyal a citizen when every fighting
man,, every atom of our resources
and every ounce of our strength is
needed to beat the Hun.
If r we hadn't been at war we never
would have permitted the Hunt case
to stir us so deeply. When this
cruel conflict is over we will all
, lookback on -the incident and wonder
"how" It could have happened to
arouse so mock feeling. Then we
Willi remember the appeal of Mr.
W oodward to forget the unkind
Avords, to .guard ourselves against
weakening 'division at home, and to
v clasp hands as brothers and win
this war.

the train. In merry mood he chaffed his
comrades and the rest of the passengers.
The train suddenly haUed In the rainy
dark and far from any station. The
soldier ran to the door, meaning to

to stretch his limbs and cool his brow.
He lurched Into the open vestlbie and
I thought he had Jumped from the steps.
At that second, with a fierce blast of

roared past on the other track. The
soldier came back into the car pale as

face was as solemn as that of a Judge

"I was Just going to Jump." he said
to me. "Something held me back. Do

Somewhere in Franoe One, afternoon
the report came that Paris was being
bombarded from a distance of 75 miles.
In the evening I sat down with a group
of officers and one of them explained to
me why it was Impossible for any gun
to be built that would carry any such
distance. "The day may come when a
gun will be built that will have a range
of 40 miles, but that day is far in the
future." he said. And yet. even as he
explained why it was impossible, shells
were dropping at 20 minute Intervals
from a gun more than 75 miles distant
Recently I dropped into a restaurant I
tiave discovered, where the fare is par
ticularly good. The waiter told ma in
perfect English that he had been a
waiter in some of the well known Broad
way, restaurants in New York city. A
party of bluejackets came in and took
the table next to mine. "I want some
regular coffee, with cream and sugar
in," said Cine of the bluejackets. "What's
ttte French word for cream?" None ot
them knew. "Leave it to me," said one
of the group. "He will understand my
French, all right" When- the waiter
came the sailor put his hands on his
head and raised each index finger to
indicate horns. Then he mooed like a
cow, and taking down his horns he be
gan milking vigorously. The English
speaking waiter gave me an amused
glance and brought some milk for their
coffee.
When BenJamTn Glf?ord was at The
Dalles he took a picture of me. He
said, "You take a good picture. You
have a strong, rugged, homely face, like
an Indian." I was reminded of Mr. Glf
ford's statement recently. I was going
down one of the older streets of a lead
ing port of entry in Franc when a cou
ple of sailors saw me, bailed me and
linked their arms In mine. One of tham
said. "I've got $25 left Really think I

years ago out of Yankton, out there in

to his chum, he explained. "Big nose:

Portland. I was first there in 1892.
Do you remember when the Baltimore
and the Charleston went up the river to
Portland? They were the first war ves
sels to go up the Columbia and Wil
lamette. That was my first visit to Port
land. Since then I have been there
many times. I have been a guest of
the Arlington club and of the Commer
cial club, and know William Ladd. J.

introduced me to one of the famous sol

contains 75,000 square feet of floor
space, with no idle room. The vamlah
factory at Linn ton covers a half block.
The two produce $500,000 worth of paints
and varnishes annually, sold In all parts
of the Pacific Northwest. The company
also has a big paint store at Second and
Taylor streets. That is. It seem big
until one visits the factories : the store.

notwithstanding it carries everything
appertaining to paints, varnishes, oils,
putties, glass and doors and windows.

At th factory's aite the two railroad
tracks run along the bottom of a gulch
in their ascent to the level surface at
th city limits. The gulch banks at th
factory ar so high that cars ar loaded
and unloaded on the first floor on th
north front of th building, and trucks
and vehicles are driven on th level
street to the fifth story floor oa th
south side. Looking at the structure
from this side It appears about one story
high, and from the other Its' six stories
loom like nine or ten, for the reason
that each is nearly aa high as on and
half stories of th ordinary building.
Big machines are running on all of th
first four floors. They are grinding out
paint and mixing things up. There ar
colors .of every description, tints in

great cauldrons heatd by steam where
oil is boiling. On the next floor ins

they past th labels on th cans.
