Lane, Secretary of the Interior, goes on tire even tenor of his way, 'keeping a ..'department owe the Htorm eenter of criticism in fine order, -and so contributing to the comfort and inter naf well being of the nation. Thos who 'admire and rrspeet Secre tary Lane are many. He can never be President of the United States because he was born in! Prince Edward's Island, but he can and does render important service to this country to which his par ents brought him hi childhood.' After leing graduated at the. Uni versity of California, Secretary liane engaged in newspaper work and was for a time editor of the Tacoma News. He must have been art exceptional newspaper inan but he turned to the law and was admitted to the. bar in l88I) and took up practice iy San Franc jseo. Ills political life since then has made him known to the country." He was a. member of the Interstate Commerce Commission le fore being called into President Wilson's cabinet. Secretary Lane has the gift of, striking and felicitous expression that, is often ..'possessed by-.-men reared in the untrammeled West. Observant people -the country f over have learned to look for the Secretary's utterances in the expectation of form and ph ruse that repay the watchfulness. I The New York Times drew from the head of the interior department; this! New-year's word: "Happy New-year." j We shall all say this with a thought of misgiving in our hearts. It would have been happy, no doubt, for the great mass of all peoples had ,it ; . not been for that group of children of the devil the military leaders of Germany who turned flame, gas and gas ' bombs loose on the world to choke and burn and kill. And these same spirits of evil sank the Imbies on the Lusitania, drowned . Kod Cross nurses and invalid soldiers, killed olti men in Bel gium, and drove 400.000 Poles into the snow to die. Who 'can forget the crucified Armenians and the more than. a mil , lion French men I who have died to save France? And yet we will say, "A happy new year." It will be a jest, a cynical .cry of irony -.worthy of the master of malevolence, unless " the jflenrfan military man with -his insane lust for glory and i gain, for lnoty-and brutatityshall be mastered by some power within Germany or from without.. "A chunk of cold truth" was the coinage of Henry Ward lleechei drawn out in the famous trial proceedings in Brooklyn in 1874 The characterization fits Secretary Lane's biting, truthful, over whelming summary of how and why Germany has arrayed the spirit ual forces of the world against her. Here is the reason why the United States is on the side of the allies, for she could be nowhere else. Here is the "Thing." pointed to by the President, that has horrified the world by imperiling it safety as nothing else has done since civilization seemed assured to mankind. hi setting forth the war aims of the United States, in his speech before the two branches of Congress, yesterday, President Wilson did not depart materially from! his former pronouncements, and his lines laid down that must be followed in order to seetire peace are much the same as those set our hy Lloyd George in his recent speech. President -Wilson was more plain than heretofore however, in hh demand that' the wrong done to France in the taking of Alsace and Lorraine in 1871 be repaired, for the good and lasting peace of the wqrld.f And that was the point, in his speech that was cheered to the echo by America's law makers. While the bolshevik! put' peace .first, the German negotiators put business first." . ' The allies will hare a fine oppor tunity to put their war aims la sharp contrast with Germany's revealed designs of conquest. - ' j . The fact that the Democrats con trol the national house of ; represen tatives by a ba,re two votes loaes most, of Its zestful possibilities tn comparison with the American ma jority of about 435 to 0. i . Inferences from Brest-Lotovsk are to the effect that the German word for '"no annexations" is "no more forcible seizure of things we haven't already got our hands on for tht present." I JVnother unwritten law of busi ness is that any increased cost in producing an article shall be pall by the consumer. Why should not the producer forego a bit of his profit. Is the. consumer to be tie eternal "goat?" i Manrlce Francis Egan. the United States minister to Denmark.- home for a vacation, the first absence freW his post in four years, brings word that the Danes are' intensely in sympathy with the. United StatM. II reports the . Relief 1 in Denmark LADD & BUSH, Bankers A Government income tax officer will be at the Court House from Jatmary 2 until January 30, 1918, and wilL to all those who 'wish it, explain the new income tax law, and will furnish' the accessary Income tax blanks. All tingle persons having an income of $1000.00 or over and all married persons having an income of $2000.00 or over will be required to make a report statesman Oregon, as second class matter. INDICTMENT that the entry of this country Into the war spells the defeat of the Ger man. The Danes are doing-'their best to keep out of the war, because of the general belief that otherwise Denmark would be treated like Bel gium or Sciria. Hard is the lot of the small nations living in deadly fear of militarism run mad. That a Mexican congress could convene, transact its business with out untoward happening, and then adjourn until September 1, offer this much of encouragement for dis tracted Mexico. It is to be hoped that an established government has eally come tq, stay. TIIK HTATl'H OF GKKMAN WAH AIMS. There was a suspicion of camou flage in the outcry of the pan-German press at tbe moderation of the terms offered to Russia, and late comment shows that there is no real dissatisfaction. The Deutsche Cou rier, which Is vigorously imperialis tic, thinks that "The German dele gates' represented the interests of the empire as adroitly and firmly as it was possible for representatives in tliclr position' to do." The com pliment' from the pan German point of view was well deserved. Dr. von Kuehlmann showed himself a dex terous negotiator, and his demands were such? as should satisfy the im perialists "The only thing that Germany now has to take care of' says tb I-utcb Tae4seltunK, "t to see that the people of tbe occuplel region are not fanatlclzed against Germany by the entente powers." The entente, according to the pan German view, Is responsible for "fa natlelilnr the Helgian against Gc tiiany German ulrocitlea had noth ing to do with the case. Therefore if the people of Poland. Kurland. LI-j thuania. and Esthonin can M Kpt incontriiiinfcado, they can be drawn into Mlttel Kuropa. and the obvlou means j continued military occ-upi-tlon. While the pan-Germans 1 have dropped their sincere protests, the moderates who have been looked up on by pacifists in entente countries as representing the saner and bu maner side of Germany are support ing the scheme for veiled annexa tion. Vorwaerts makes an obrcure and not very energetic protest, but llerr Krzberger, the Catholic leaden who last summer brought about llethmann-IIollweg's fall by demand Ing peace without annexations, is for the Kuehlmann plan and says that the German declaration is "ap proved unreservedly," by the Itelch stag main committee. If there is any such opposition in Germany as Trotzky professes to count upon, no hint of It has come to the surface, Russia can look for support only t its allies and when this fact can no longer be . evaded it may produce a considerable reaction among the Russian people. The allies may have been clumsy in their diplomacy but they mean well by Russia; the cen tral powers may have been more adroit but they can no longer con ceal the falsity of their professions of friendship. GKltMAXV LAUGH SO 310IIK: The steady swing of public opin ton In neutral countries against the German cause which is apparent even where there was a distinct pro Jer nan feeling at the beginning of .he war Is at last causing appre hension in the Fatherland, says the London Times. It remarks: "Germany affected to langh as one by one tbe neutral states, which are not: great military powers, fell off front hwr lr horror of her crimes. She laughs no more. It is not, in deed, the moral condemnation of so many people rwhieh disturbs her eareJ and hardened conscience. At that she can still scoff. Itut she Is f!nding that the new raw materials for her Industries in war and in reace together with no small share of her food supplies, are nnder the control of I those who are her de clared enemies or who refuse to con tinue diplomatic relations with her. She is beginning to perceive what this may mean to her." SELF-COXDKMXKI). (Los Angeles Times) Germany is trying to find some excuses for firing on hospital shlprf. if Germany were guilty of but one or ;wo such outrages the world iight listen to her excuses; bnt no pre tension of miatakea tr tf "military necessity" csn clear her of the in numerable wilful, cowardly, un nameable crimes which she hai committed against the wounded, the weakt the unarmed and innocent men, women and children of eveity virion under the sun Including Germany herself. And, though t&e nation's might forgive her, the law of retribution ; will exact life for life, measure for measure. It is not Ger many's enemies that condetrn her It is Germany herself. Her' ene mies are merely the Instruments in the hands of inevitable Justice. There Is a Power, an Adjuster, a Balanc ing System call it God or Nature or what you will that cannot be bribed or thwarted and that punlshej both individuals and nations accord ing to their deserts.

A Sure Way To End Dandruff There is one Mire way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it. then you destroy it entirely. To dp this, just about four ounces of plain, com mon liquid arvon from any drug store (this Is all you will need), ap ply It at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub ft In gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely- dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of It, no matter how much, dandruff you may have. You will find all Itching and dig ging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.

THEY ARE ACHIEVED." said President WI'b In his speech to congress yesterday after setting out the fourteen differ ent war aims of the United States. Taken all together, it ii still r d'stinct issue between autocracy an' democracy, nnd to make the world safe and decent and a war arains all wars. m The farmers of Oregon are a-rns: ing to raise larger crops of all kind than ever before, but they are wor-j rying about how they are going to get enough farm help. And tb same condition holds the country over. ' , i The war fronts are still qnlt though there are predictions concerning- what great things are going to happen. Germany officially says she wU treat American prisoners as well a any other. There had been a rumor that her Intention was to treat the Sammies with especial severity.

FORMER MAYOR I HAS BIG DAIRY Walter K. Taylor Comes In From Conrallis Looking For Foreman Py W. C. COWf.IIX "This Is certainly a most stren usoiis year In. fact the very worst I ever experienced since coming to the rtate of Oregon nearly-a quarter bf a century ago said Walter K. Taylor, wbo came to Salem yefcter day from Gorvallis for tbe vry sim ple, and apparently easy errand to engage a barn foreman for his dairy ranch on the north city limits of Cor vallls. "Von see." said Mr. Taylor, -a barn foreman on a large ranch must have a few ounces of brains, or he might as well work as a common la borer on, a railroad track. . "Yes, I'm milking now by machin ery, about seventy cows, and a man to run my barn must not only have to know how to superintend the feed ing of tbe animals, but must know something amout the operation of the machinery necessary to the work or milking. Its no child's job. but I think 1 can get the .man l am after today." When asked If he wa taking any interest in politics this year, Mr. Taylor faid he had all tbe politics he could afford to dabble in at the time he served as mayor of Conral lis ahout s!x vears ego. It is strange but true, that Mr. Taylor's house is situated just in side the city .line, right In the city, while his big dairy b.trns, cattle sheds, and tool house are out In theJ "ountry, but only 150 feet, or so. from Jhe; house, which has every pSndern convenience. The barns an other outbuildings are lighted bv ectricitv. but the milklna machine a operated bv a small gasoline en cine, as the "Juke" line wire is too far mv to ma.ee it available for power purposes.
