HIS REASONS
TV7HTLE the analysts of the recent
i V election upheaval are discusa
i inar the reasons therefor, let them
" corrsider that one-half of the peo-
pie of the United States are engaged
Ja th ft business of raising food. Let
them . consider that, generally
speaking, they are making no profit
on their investment, their work, the
work of members of their families
or of their, employes. -That popula
tion is the farming' population.
' 'Xet them consider that 25 per
cent of the products of those farms
must find a foreign market and
- that the domestic price is largely
i fixed by the demand from abroad.
Let them consider that that market
: has rapidly disappeared during the
last' two years. Let them consider
that when th'ose men wanted credit
to carry on their business,! their
"loans were being called in the pro
cess of deflation. Let them consider
that out of a very small income
the farmer pays : huge taxes, pays
help, bays tools and seed and ma
chinery Lt them -consider that,
after "tha price has dropped from
the" lack of foreign demand and
after those things are all paid for,
there is little left with which the
farmer s to purch'ase clothes and
household utensils and educate his
children.
With those facts in mind let the
analysts consider that the farmers
of the 'nation haveT seen their gov
ernment alienating foreign markets
by a policy of isolation and by re
fusal to take part in stabilizing
world credits, world finances and
- world economic structures. Let
. them consider that he has seen aid
extended to the railroads, aid ex
tended to the his manufacturers
and b!g businesses through & tariff,
money paid back to profiteers, and
aid proposed to the big shipping in
te rests. Let them consider that the
farmers, saw, a bloc of men in con
gress band . together . to aid them
and saw the administration boldly
condemn the bloc and its purposes,
and oppose many of its measures.
Do men who make Jthe policy of
this government think that farmers
are overlooking all those things?
to they think they, are oblivious of
what Is going -on jtnd the effect on
them? And do they think agricul
turists are going to vote to drive
themselves out of business? J
A BAD "COURSE
H-'' APPEAL, by circulation of
petitions, from the decision. of
the board of directors of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce n the
controversy between two important
railroads should be abandoned. It
can ; be fraught only with unfor
tunate results. ' 1
. If the : railroads persist in this
course they cannot fail -to hurt
themselves, and damage the cham
ber. If the, public ever - gets the
idea that the . chamber, " Is a play
thing for-the railroads and. an in
strument for their: Use, its days of
usefulness will be . numbered, and
no loyal member of .the .chamber
or citizen of this city- should aid
or abet in bringing about such a
condition. -t " -.
Aside from this, it should be ap
parent' that any action taken by
individual members, or, indeed, by
the chamber itself, unless t taken
freely after due deliberation and
consideration, will have no effect
. ufJtfle' create animosities be
tween members and friends in going
through, the performance of pulling
chestnuts out of: a fire for a rail
road. . -y
Since when did' the chamber 'fall
to this depth? Since when are its
high purposes to be prostituted to
such aims?' "-''..' ;' 1

I''. Greene, - 4 ? striking Portland
shopmen; sentenced each to 0 days
and a flhe" of - ?160 --, ;;
In Scharman's noma there Is an
Invalid wife, for Whom a nurse will
have to be provided While her hus
band lies in Jail. There 1 also a
paralyzed brother,' whose sofe sup
port Scharman is. ' ' '.
In Greene's home are a wife and
f our children. - This ; home is in
process of "being purchased on the
installment plan,' and payments are
already three months; In arrears.
There could scarcely,; be cases' in
which the pound of flesh exacted
by the railroad company could be
torn away with greater, pain to In
nocent and needy dependents, '
The sentences , are for contempt
of court. It was in the injunction
case wherein the striking shopmen
were forbidden, to' leave more than
one man on the picket line. The
alleged contempt occurred on a
payday, when the two defendants
went, in the afternoon: of August 1
to. get checks for work done for the
company. '
There was no testimony at the
trial, their friends say,' to show that
either man engaged 1 in violence,
their offense being that, as they
went for their checks, they' had
loitered on the picket line, making
three men present at - the spot
where the Injunction order permit
ted but one. It is farther stated
that the injunction order had been
issued but three days before; that
2000' men an djeight i nationalities
were involved, and that it was im
possible for every man to have
been fully informed of tbo require
ments of the order. ;
Representations have been made
by numerous persons to the heads
of the railroad concerning, the
needy situation of the two families.
The condition of the Invalid wife
and that of the paralyzed brother
have been set forth. , Arrears . in
the payments on the -roof that
shelters the wife and four chil
dren In the ' other homo have
been described to the company's
chiefs. It as been j pointed out
to 'them ' that -the strike, in
Portland was orderly J and peace
ful in comparison with that in
other places, : where bombs were
thrown, warehouses blown up and
other violence committed. But to
all these appeals the ainswer of the
chiefs has been, "Let the bread
winners in these families go to
Jail." ;' ' f. ' - -
Possibly, this is all sound policy,
possibly not. Perhaps no railroad
company ever violated a law or the
order of a court or the moral code
or the Golden Rule. Perhaps not.
But, in the opinion of many a
thinking person, some' time, some
where, the tears and the suffering
that the cold-blooded attitude of
the company chiefs toward these
two men, whose Offense was
that they Ignorantly loitered on a
forbidden picket line, will have to
be paid for in fall, by somebody.
On the afternoon , preceding
Tuesday's election one Cobb and
others caused to be published in
this newspaper : an advertisement
declaring that Mr. Pierce and The
Journal were guilty of "misrepre
sentation" in the campaign. The
Journal had thought to reply , to
that HbeU but- it, will not. The
people have replied J for if Mr.
Pierce's majority is nearly 86,090.
-AT THE HORSU SHOW
SHE had come back on one horse
after another. She had appeared
in contest following . contest. But
that unpleasantly intangible -carftter
known. as:i theljinx . seemed :to jride
with her In every; event. '
Such ta pink-cheeked, unsmiling.
earnest lass she was that she won
the ' crowd's ksyrapathy at- the
Wednesday evening horse show, in
North, Portland.! '' When t she re
appeared persistentlyv contending
for honors and prises, her advent
wasgreeted with applause,; : ,
yp in the long tiers of seats ir
reverent individuals !wlth no re;
spect or the sanctity of ;, judges
roared against decisions that did not
include the numbers she woro.
Then came the last big contest,
the water, hurdle. The horse ; she
rode made the lesser leaps perfectly.
It made with equal accuracy the
leap .over the center!: hurdle with
its water course' represented by a
strip of canvas. - The galleries
roared. The noise became even
louder when on another horse she
made the hazardous round with
equal success. ; .'w -P;; ;'- ,
' But other horsewomen and horse
men had; equal; success. - It was
necessary, to i call back : a number
of them for an elimination contest,
The center hurdle was raised, but
the first heree she rode made the
leap -will an airy 4 disdain that
spurned bars and canvas. No other
horsedid so well. .Then' came a
contest for second place. : And on
her Second "-' horse the girt : rider
again won the: honors, j X ?
. There; was 'pandemonium When
she appeared riding the first prire
winner; and .leading the second. It
was vociferous j approval that
meant " more, however . than Tmere
applause for a plucky girl.
V On the streets motors have taken
the place of the' beautiful carriage
animals that once made the pave
ment rink with their Iron-shod
hoofs. ' The shining, coach,, glossy
horses'tLnd'liveried attendants that
were the casual sight of yesterday
Are a curiosity -today, , -. y. s 'x-
i But people have not lost their
love-of horses -They proved, that
fact at the horse show in conjunc
tion with the Pacific International
Livestock exposition, i Mo tor s
waited In congested masses outside
while their passengers luxuriated In
the thrill of marvelous equine grace,
beauty and strength. The evening
grew old before even the .most im
patient was willing to leave that en
trancing - exposition - of proud
stridors.. - ;-
The-show was a classic . It gave
Portland Antv distinction. It also
estabtiahedE the fact that the motor
has become the utility and the horse
the luxury. ; Thus bis survival is
more than assured. , : f
THE "VERDICT
fpHE ship subsidy bill should notJ
be pusnea tnrougn congress at
the special -session called for No
vember 20. as planned. - 1 -p-;V
The subsidy was an issue In the
recent campaign. Jt was attacked
and defended in every -state. More
than half a. hundred of its defend
ers were defeated and thejr oppo
nents elected.1! 't-f'h's ;f ' ji
The people of the country "do not
believe that 13.000,000,000 worth
Of their ships should - be sold ; to
private operators at 10 cents on the
dollar- They 'do- not believe that
7SO,000,000 of their, money should
be given to the private operators to
guarantee them against loss in oper
ation" They do not believe that they
should make a near-gift of the ships
to the private interests. pay losses
and permit the operators to - take
the profits. ,
And If there are not to be profits
sometime, why do the private inter
ests want the ships? If they Cannot
be made to.pay, why should they
buy them, even at 10 cents on .the
ddllar? And if, on the. other hand,
they can be made to pay and the
private companies would not want
them otherwise -why; should ; the
people not keep them and take the
profits themselves," especially if
they are going to pay all losses and
are compelled otherwise to. give
away $3,000,000,000 worth of prop
erty? : , ::..',' &; . r?;k
The ship subsidy bill Is a bad bllL
It provides for one of the biggest
gifts of public 7 money to private
interests ever proposed. I It should
be beaten, and undoubtedly would.
be by that congress recently elected.
For it to" be passed before that con
gress was seated would be a deliber
ate repudiation of. the voters' de
sires as expressed at the late
election. . r
THE ELECTRIC RACE
TV7HY not put Portland on an elec
yy trio parity with Tacoma?
The average- householder hi - that
city can heat' ills house with elec
tricity at a qos approximating $12
a month. He' is able to buy current
for house heating from his munici
pal plant at 2 cents a kilowatt hour.
He is able to electrify his home
completely at a tost of about $160
a year. ; '
Why not put Portland on an eleo
tric parity with Seattle ?
The people of ; that city have
undertaken one ofj the great me
chanical romances of modern times.
They will develop; 660,000 horse
power from Skagit -river. Ruby
reservoir, 1J00 feet above sea level,
wjlll be 25 miles long, its dam 480
feet high., and; water, will feed
through a tunnel 3 miles to Ruby
power house 80$ ?eet lower down,
developing-. 326,000 -horsepower.
Gorge reservoir, still lower, will be
four miles long, with a dam 6X0
feet long and 240 feet - high, the
water passing through two tunnels
each two miles .long I to Gorge
power house, - where 226,000 horse
power will be developed. The great
urge of energy from the Skagit
fiver project will be turned into
the industries and I the homes - of
Seattle, to give it an electrified, ad
vantage over, competitor cities
- Why not put Portland on an elec
tric parity with Chehalis?
tChehalis has a fine new city hall.
But the taxpayers of Chehalis levied
no tax to pay for it. ; They issued
no bonds. They constructed the
new building, which combines mu
nicipal offices,, the fire and police
bureaus and the municipal court,
from the profits of their municipal
lighting system. Chehalis does not
generate electric current, but huys
it from, a private corporation, l it
buys for 4 cents a "kilowatt and sells
for 7 cents. " Seven-cents a kilowatt
is a fraction of a cent less than the
first rate paid in Portland by cus
tomers of the lighting companies, 1

A Tomb That Holds More
of? Life Than of peath
From the Philadelphia Evening
'-Ledger -
This artiela waa published oa Armiatice day.
1021. oa the .occarioa of the Btotnbment of
the Unknown Soldier in Arlington cational
cemetery.: ; ... . . ; .
He probably, was a very young man.
greatly In love with rife and expecting
wonders from it. Such are the soldiers
"who normally fight the battles of great
nations that go to war in the full tide
of their energies and power.
Behind him, when he went away,
there surely was a woman, his "mother
or his '.girl. Who would awaken in the
night to fear terribly for him, to won
der where he might be and to whisper
small, distracted prayers for his safety
into the : empty hours that precede
dawn. Alt the hopes and wishes that
her heart sent after, her soldier were
somehow - lost In the darkness above
the sea. . No one knows how death
came to him whether it arrived merci
fully in sudden flame and darkness or
little by little and very slowly, with
infinite pain, in a lonely place.
. He 1s back home now. at last. " And
many of the things brightly visioned
by his untroubled soul on the march
outward have eome -strangely to pass.
The flags are out for him. The peo
ple are crowded in the .streets to wel
come him to-ila own country at his
journey's end. Old and incredible
prophecies have a way of being ful
filled. , "Serve the world." someone has
said; "give it all you have "to give,
and "sooner or later men and women
will come to you on their knees.
e a ' .
It Is right, of course, that the 'coun
try should pray in this hour for the
end of war. But we shall be happier
It we remember that the decree of
death for this 'Unknown Soldier did
not come from the skies and that' bat
tleships and guna and poison gas. do
not come from the -skies, either. -
This American, as ail the men killed
In France, was sacrificed to the strange
gods that men create in their own like
ness. Within them were all the quali
ties that yet may prevail to save the
world hope, imagination, pity, faith,
laughter, courage 1 and . generous
strength and it is the fault of earth,
not of heaven, if civilization bad no
use for them and desired only the
Wi to, kill or be killed
To- pray with an honest heart in this
hoar onemust . therefore pray to be
free of vanity and greed and cruelty
and false, desires and foollh pride. It
will not do -to eay over and over that
wars are made by the unregenerate
"men higher up." That view ts Justifi
able oqly in part. Vk
If you feel secretly that war Is good
for ' business," that it Is necessary to
national spirit or that It is en unavoid
able evil; if you believe that all right
is on the side of your own country and
refuse to - acknowledge the claims of
all peoples to common justice, you not
only do not know: what war is; you
are to some extent a maker of war
and an insplrer of militarism. r-r- s
v - , "i a a . . .. .
It is at -a time like this that you
must become .aware of the painful
limitations ' of all generally accepted
formulas of modern thought.; Familiar
words, useful enough In the everyday
routine., are inadequate to express be
liefs that seem ' to press tremendously
from somewhere in the Infinite. Old
hopes. -old faiths reassert themselves
in minds from which belief long ago
vanished, and in one's hearf there are
echoes that seem like the reiterated
assurances ' of an ancient, pro raising
voice. - ' ' , " "
, Here, for example,, is stilt another
tomb that will bold more ef life than
of death, r Endlessly through time, as
long aa the republlo endures, long, after
all the people now living are dead, men
and women, will continue to turn 'and
look at it with a lift of their hearts
and 'the conadousnees of being to the
presence of immortal good. . t -
The, grave of the UnkAown Soldier
may, yet seem te be the; tomb of - the
most passionate hope of .mankind.-

' The statesmen now , In , Washington
must sense this. They must know that
because of this soldier nd the others
who"i fought and died after : turning
away to martyrdom from all the peace
and beauty of the world, governments
have eome upon new times. .
The men to , whom civilized peoples
trust their affairs must do a little, ef
the fighting and the people who Stay
at home must - learn some of the vir
tues of courage and even of sacrifice,
which the world needs more than "new
ti ade routes and spheres of influence.
The diplomats now in Washington
are not only te the presence of a dead
soldier of the American army. . They
are la the presence of the spirit of the
future. ' At their feet, burning brightly,
la the torch Hhat the Unknown Soldier
held, u They may take it up and carry
It - or they may leave it where it
fell. The job is theirs now. If they

backward from the ,tomb in Arling

' ARMISTICE DAT
rrorn the Saa rraactaeo Can. Kov, 11, 1020.
- Two years ago the Uth pf November
seemed the fairest day In all the his
tory ef hm wwld.: i On this day hos
tilities ceased- and an armistice was
signed. Hope filled the spirit of man.
He believed that all the death and
destruction were - past, all the lying
and plotting and cruelty,- all the tyr
annies and ' restrictions that lay . so
heavily on mankind.. Peace seemed to
offer a new life to the nations and a
wornout and discouraged world took a
new courage to Itself. - ' , "'
' The hopes and dreams of thak day
are not -yet come true, i Man tlll
struggles beneath the burdens of war.
Man caught a glimpse 'that day of a
beautiful land, but he has not reached
its borders. And yet, because he did
have a vision of peace on November
IV 1918, that: day is more deserving
than -any other of "the reverence and
observation of the world.
We o nots celebrate the day that
war: was declared; nor even the day
on which the United : States entered
the conflict. There would be some
thing horrible in such a dedication.
We do not celebrate the signing of
the peace treaty. It would be a smirk
ing mockery of man's fairest hopes
a ; denial of ..his age-long aspirations
for peace. But we can, as we do, cele
brate, the day of the armistice. Prom
ise of peace came to a stricken world
on that day and men were Joyous. We
can observe it reverently, not only be-
cause It was to be an armistice in the
hatreds and hostilities of men. but be
cause we hope it may mean the final
coming of a lasting peace.
That peace ts not yet here, the world
is not freed from its sorrows ; but to
day men may. renew their hope that
in time the - world will be wise and!
merciful. Just and. tolerant no longer
the slave of their passion. .

THREE PIERCE VOTE-MAKERS
Though Not Intended to Be Such An
Estimate of Certain Would-Be Fatal A
"- Forces in the Recent Campaign.
Portland. Nov. . To the Editor of
The Journal While the t election of
Walter Pierce, was due to a construc
tive, energetic campaign,' in which The
Journal . took an efficient part, there
are three things of a negative charac
ter that are entitled to some credit;
and it is entirely proper that they be
mentioned at a time when the public
is in a mood to read all sides of an
Interesting subject.- They are:
: 1. Walter Toose, chairman of the 'Re
publican. central committee. Mr. Toose.
L at the word "go," jumped into the
campaign with a ' tremendous splash,

Believes Lord's Prayer, the Decalogue

Public Schools. ;;
Portland. Nov. 10. To the Editor of
The Journal Why do so many chil
dren grow up ' to become criminals?
It may be the fault of their parents,
bat I believe it is also the fault ef the
public schools. Some parents will send
their children to the ' public schools,
but they sever send them to Sunday
school, and they grow up ignorant of
the Ten Commandments. I believe if
the Lord's Prayer and the Command
ments were taught in the public
schools it would make this a better
world.- When I attended public school
at Rochester. Minn., we- used to sing
the songs In "Gospel Hymns. That was
many years ago. and this usage has
since disappeared. . r A Reader,

were granted during' any one year to
women. In 1882 14 patents were; granted
to women. By the rloae of 1684 108 pat

patents were taken out by women, in
the next ten years 1428, and during the
next five years 1309. That brings us up
to 1904. and from then on securing; pat
enta was one of women's popalAr recre

pins and other trifles, but were for
such things as-improvements on loco
motive wheels, .improved method for
