was successful. The other purpose
was the swift conquest of France, the
subjugation of her people and the
reduction of that noble republic to
the position of a second rate power.
a position from which ,she could
never again interfere with the mili
tary plans of the plundering and
murdering HohenzoUern dynasty. The
Prussian idea is effectively expressed
by the paper above quoted:

POLITICS OR HUN?
UESTIONS of far deeper mo
ment than the -ambitions of
any candidate for office are
commanding the attention
and thought of the great mass of the
people."
In these splendid words, former
Governor West accurately interprets
the meaning of the light vote in the
late primaries. In a public statement
that in noble phrasing and. sentiment
is a political landmark, he suggests
that the campaign for the senator-
ship be without headquarters, with
out political managers, without use
of money and without the usual
speech-maktng and advertising. By
such a plan, he says, Senator McN'ary
"would be free to devote his entire
time to his senatorial duties," and
Mr. West "be free to engage In some
war activity." "We both would," he
says, thus be rendering the best pos
sible service to our country."
This plan will appeal powerfully
in this war time, to nine tenths of
the people. Mothers and fathers
whose sons are precious liberty loans
made to the army and navy for the
period of the war, are in no mood for
political meetings and partisan cam
paigns. Those who are giving every
ounce of their strength and unstint
edly of their time can feel little
patience with persons spending time
money and energy so badly needed
in war work, on a political campaign.
Casualty lists are merely .in their
beginnings. We are not yet in the
real period of our mourning. The
campaigns that politicians demand
have nothing in common with the
casualty lists over which loved ones
at home are filled with hourly ap
prehension.
Governor West is free to begin a
campaign now. so far as public
dufjs are concerned. Senator McNary
Is not. Governor West voluntarily
offers to forego this advantage and
let the people decide the issue un
molested and undisturbed.
The people are not thinking of
politics. They are thinking of the
war,, of how to, win the war, of how
to shorten the war; thinking of those
who are offering the last full meas
ure of their devotion to end the
war right, and they will overwhelm
ingly approve the course proposed by
the former governor.
The West statement is reprinted
from The Sunday Journal on this
page.

Shall' we. say "fleet" of seaplanes?
Or shall it be "school or shoal"
or "flock," or what? Be their col
lective name what It may, a bunch
of them is soon to cross the broad
Atlantic with their own wings and
paddles. The submarines can not get
them because they can -rise Into the
air and soar away. The sooner the
government builds a moving bridge
of seaplanes between the United
States and France the better the peo
ple wiU be pleased. Who cares for
the expense? We are In this war
to win, if it lakes our last dollar.
In the Ukraine the old Russian
spirit seems to be waking. A century
ago ttje Russians burned Moscow
rather than submit to Napoleon. Now
the Ukrainians are burning their
villages and stores of food rather
than see tii e Prussian tyrant get them.
As the heel of tbe oppressor grinds
their faces the revolutionists will
wish more and more. that the,y had
not . been quite so fast to dismiss
their army. They are learning In
the bitter school of experience the
difference between the war lords
and those western "imperialists" of
whom they were 60 terribly afraid
and when Trotsky was In full bloom.

to the faculty he was Informed that a
dentist could probably do him a lot of
good. The instructor gave him time
enough to get to the dentist's office and
back and sent him on his wsy. When
Jackson reached tbe dentist's office he
found the dentist was busy. Either be
cause of the toothache or because of
visions of what might happen if he over

Might Dig Potatoes
The conversation In the lobby of a
Washington hotel turned to the disincli
nation of the tramp to work, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph, when Congress
man William H. Carter of Massachusetts
recalled an anecdote along that line. ,
Ijist -summer a New England farmer
was urgently in need of help. and. see
ing a tramp coming down the road, he
went out and stopped him.
"I want a man for a day or two." said
the farmer to the hobo. "Howj would
you like to have a Job?"
"I don't know." was the hesitating re
joinder of the tramp. "What kind ef a
Job is ur
"Not a very hard one." replied the
farmer encouragingly. "I want some
body to help me dig potatoes."

Ernesto Palandri, Italian born but
American by adoption, has a letter
on this page. The struggles of Italy,
the obstacles she has overcome, the
loyalty and devotion of Italians in
America are high example of sacri
fice by the Italian race in this war.
Credit is due them, and they should
have it. The apparent discrimination
of which .Mr. Palandri Justly com
plains is not intentional, but a mere
oversight that will undoubtedly be
remedied.
TO MAKE IS SUBMISSIVE
M ..
w ORDLY demands are made by the
Kolnische Volkg Zeitung, a news
1 i paper published in Germany. It
says:
It Is self evident that after what Is
now happening we can no longer con
clude peace on the terms which we
were ready to accept a week ago. The
enemy must be brought to a submissive
spirit and forced to grant everything
, mat we neea in the world of the
t future, and not lesst lh the domain of

rials.
This war was begun to make other
peoples "submissive" and to force
other peoples to aive uo to the
ifohenzollern dynasty "everything we
need in the world of the future, and
not least .in the domain of colonies
and the supply of raw materials."
. A German statesman, writing before
- the' present war, declared :
We must see to ft that the outcome
.. of t our next successful war is the
acquisition of colonies.
The first attack Germany made in
tins war was on France. A great

Luxemburg frontier two months be

OUR TWO DUTIES
w
E ARE face to face with two
duties, said the president in his
New York speech of last Sat
urday. The first is to win the
war. The second is to win It "great
ly and worthily." TheT more fixedly
we keep our high, unselfish aim in
sight, the better our chances of
winning the war. The best fighters
in the long run are men who feel
that they are fighting for the right
The president gave us a hint of
what he means by winning the war
worthily." It was conveyed in this
Sentence, "So far as I am concerned.
I intend to stand by Russia as well as
France." This means that there can
be no peace patched up until the
conqueror has been forced to dis
gorge the prey he has torn from the
Russian empire.
All those little crowns that he has
perched on the heads of his relations
must come off. Finland. CourlaniL
Poland and the Ukraine must be al
lowed to decide for themselves how
they shall be governed, "without any
battalions of German troops to assist
them to make up their minds.
It would be an extremely comfort
able arrangement for the Hohenzol
lerns could they force the allies "to
consent to the dismemberment of
Russia. One by one the fragments
would be cemented into the German
empire. - The kaiser would build ud
a bigger military power than ever
out of his conquests and ' would
presently be able to invade France
and England with an army too nu
merous to be resisted. That is what
he has been planning to do.
It is probable that the" allies could

Late ln the afternoon, by the time the
visitors had become accustomed to see
ing men of only the one type of bearing,
the lieutenant happened to remark that
one of the most Impressive sights he had
seen at camp was a meeting on the road
of a regiment of trained men coming
one way and a group pf "casuals" going
In the opposite direction. The men who
had been in service some months were
marching back to camp. Just as the
group of newoomers was being taken out
for its first practice march. For the
merriment of the company the lieuten
ant imitated the slouches and slumps of
the new fellows.
Then the ladles marveled at their own
sudden change In viewpoint ; for It was
but five hours before that the "uasual"
was the man to whom they were accus
tomed ; he was the usual, and beside him
a man of different type would have
looked strange. They had, set them
selves a new standard.
Lack of standard Is evidently largely

For a Post-War Rose Festival
Portland. May 11. To the Editor of
The Journal 1 was surprised when I
read the letter from "Reader," wanting
the Rose FesUval to be held this year.
Just wait till our boys come marching
triumphantly home, as we all know
they will; then we shall all have great
cause for rejoicing. Would that not
be a much better, more fitting, time to
hold our annual festival than now? We
must not forget our country is at war.
and we must ons and all do everything
in our power to win ; for win we must.
