If Von Tirpltz and a lot of his
fellow conspirators who so gaily
plunged the world Into a criminal
war could be tried and fitly pun
ished it would be a lessen to the
end of time for ambitious war lords.
Those gentry are not peculiar t
Germany. Every country on the
globe has its allotment of them, no
doubt ifi punishment fpr its sins,
Holding them responsible for their
misdeeds is something that has never
yet been done. It will be an experi
ment, but everything suggests that
it will be wholesome.
T WOULD be wrong for American
fighters, after winning the war, to
be compelled on. their return home
to pay an undue share of the cost
' of the war.

is strongly urging congress to pass
a revenue measure that will put into
tha treasury a heavy share of these
war profits. He appeals to congress
iv for a measure that will yield eight

The measure was presented to con
v'y 'gress early, in the summer. In ex-

"have profited so heavily set aside

VIVE LA FRANCE
iRANCE has suffered in her
ravaged fields and in her
ruined villages. The freed
provinces have had to submit
to intolerable vexations and odious
outrages, but you are not to answer
these crimes by the commission of
violences, which, under the spur of
your resentment may seem to you
legitimate. You are to remain under
discipline, and to show respect to
persons and property. You will know
after having vanquished your adver
sary by force of arms, how to im
press him further by the dignity of
your attitude, and the world will not
know which to admire most your
conduct in success or your heroism
in fighting."
These are noble words from the
order of French General Petain on
the eve of leading his army, under
the .terms of the armistice, into Ger
man territory. They reflect the spirit
of France.
It is the spirit of the French de
mocracy in contrast with the spirit
of the late Prussian autocracy. Thu
wanton destruction wrought by the
Prussians against the innocent civil
ians of France cannot be computed
in terms of money
It runs to - a total before whicj
the financiers of the world will gasp
It included outrages to persons be
fbre which Christendom stands stag
gered and appalled
It was crucifixion. It was the
work of an Attila, the conception of
a satyr.

That is a lesson which California
learned years ago. Beans can be

tion of the Pacifie Northwest and
on some lands yield better net re
turns than any other crop.
As long as Portland's eity superin
tendent of schools is liable to be
turned out of office by petty politi
cal intrigue, the directors will prob
ably Bearch in vain for a competent
incumbent of that position. Men of
ability who have earned standing in

Reviewing Election's Results
Portland. Nov. 14. To the Editor of
The Journal Since we have fittingly
celebrated our glorious victory at, arms,
will you permit me to indulge In a few
post mortem observations on the recent
election?
It was the first campaign in the his
tory of the country where the candi
dates of one political party baaed their
claims for election upon the ground that
they had supported, and would continue
to support, the leader of the opposing
party. If you think this is putting it
too strongly. Just refer to the McNary
and McArthur advertisements, and to
the political articles in the Oregonian
and the Telegram, in which we- were told
that the way to back up the president
was to vc for the Republican candi
dates.
Another interesting feature, was the
distortion of the President's ariDeal for
