I V Is it patriotism, or partisanKhip, that cauws the Administration I to exert its influence to prevent an increase of Tarif f tlnties ? ; ( Every citizen, every firm and every corporation in the United ' States is asked to undergo the severest strain in purchasing Liberty I Bonds and Thrift Stamps and in going without the unessential, i Foreign imports offer the easiest and most effective way of rais ing direly needed additional revenue. The Underwood Tariff rates are abnormally low practically free trade rates. They could, and they should, be greatly increased. I I ! Democrats profess to believe in "a tariff for revenue only." Why !nojt prove their faith by their acts in increasing revenue through tarifft ' ' . j- Every, day; we are told, over and over again, we must do alt we can to help win the war; and to win the war the government tells us it roust have more revenueadditional billions of dollars. In this crisis, this emergency, this moment when the government is turning evfry which way. to increase its sources, of revenue, should the tariff be Immune from change? .. . Is tlie cause of free trade so sacred that it mint not be disturbed, even to help the government win the warf It seems so as yet, it is so. !' The Administration expects the people "to make (sacrifices any kacjrifice, every sacrifice, possible to win the war. Should it not, then, set an example by dropping free trade and re-establishing pro tection, since free trade greatly reduces, while protection would vastly increase, the nation's revenues! The emergency is acute 1 Need of increased revenue is most ur gent t Time is of tremendous importance: Instead of an interminable tariff discussion wby not reenact the Dingley or the Payne-Aldrich tariff?' ; - : V:j ' . Why are we at war! t To protect ourselves from German oppression and enslavement, Vtot make the world safe for democracy." Let us begin protecting ourselves now. j. Why wait, when by "doing it now" we can largely increase our national revenue and re-establish American prosperity?. Why not put a maximum price on cotton? With the government regulating the price of iron, and steel, and coal, and wheat, why should it not regulate the price of cotton? Cotton has been selling at a price fully three timet the cost of its production. Cotton is a great staple needed by the government to help it to win the war. Cotton is seeded by, the people, the people who are depriving themselves of everything but essentials. Why should they be forced to pay for fhe cotton they use three times the cost of its production? : IThe work of Dr. Doney, president of Willamette University, ac cording to information received in Salem, consists largely in keeping the British, French and American forces fighting the common cause of world democracy in France in touch with each other in sentiment in conveying to. each army tlie good will and comradeship of the other two armies. This is a very important work, well worthy the untiring efforts of as big a man as Dr. Doney; for he is a big man and world citizen. ; It is as important that the spirit of comrade ship; and co-operation be maintained as that the three armies should havefmmmunition and the instruments of modern warfare. " Tire escapes is the hew name given by.the Sammies in France to the sky pilots; otherwise the army chaplains. 1 ' .:' .

If any decent citizen of either sex votes for him. It -will be carrying the Joke too far. The German confession that tho U-boats are making no headway against American shipping comes from an unexpected quarter and must have been wrung from the kai ser's admiralty by the Inexorable logic of events There will be other admissions to make as the ' game proceeds. Viscount Ishli, Japanese' ambassa dor to" the United States, says that his country is only waiting for the allies to tell her what they want her to do. Recalling the lines of John Mlnton, "They also serve who only stand and wait." Another thing worthy of note Is the fact that we do not brag as much I as W used to Thara has Kun m J rude awakening on account of the ; serious business that Is ahead of the nation. - In view of what has happened at Ostend and Zeebragge, the Germans must be feeling much the same as an old darky In Los Angeles who, when asked If he had been frightened by the recent earthquake, replied. "No, sah, I wuxn't adiackly frightened, but I admits dat fo a few seccunt I did (eel rath ah Insecuab." Los Angeles Times.

When 100,000 soldiers are In ac tion, the wounded will number ap proximately 20,000 and major or minor operations will te necesary upon about 10,000 of them, while 5000 men will require medical at tention. This gives an Idea of the work suddenly thrown upon an army med kal service In a battle such as has been raging In France, only instead of i 00.000 men In action there are around 1,000.000 engaged. The Red Cross, therefore, is not exaggerating when it tells American women that surgical dressings cannot be over s'lpp'led. The United States army medical service now has turned over to the Red Cross the task of supplying our army with surgical dressings. The army will furnish the materials and the women will do the work, accord ing to specifications made by tb3 army. It is a fine compliment to Red Cross workers. One surgeon In the course of seven or eight hours will use between 300 and 400 packets of surgical dress ings, or from 4800 to 500 Individ ual dressings. Multiply this by the hundreds and thousands of surgeon i working at top speed in h great bat tie and still further emphasis Is g:v. en to the statement that an oversup ply is Improbable. Nearly all the wounded recover. The nercentare of wounded who re cover In this war is higher than in any other war because aid is given promptly right behind the trenches, at a first aid station in a dugout, then at the evacuation hospital and finally at a base hospital. . It is comforting to know that Sa lem women are doing their share, along with millions of other good women throughout the world, in keeping up the great supply Qf band ages and the mountains of band ages must keep on going till the war Is won for democracy and decency and mercy, and safety against more wars.

Porter Accompan ied From Portland by Ad herents of Faith Among the significant points whlfh were brought out last night at the state penitentiary In a lecture on Christian Science was its relation to the world war. 'The lectnre was given under the auspices of First Church of Christ. Scientist, of Tort land, and was aenvered bv William S. Porter. C. 8. II.. Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church. The First ChurcJj of Christ, Scientist, of Hoston. A special train of people from Portland rame to Salem last night for the lecture. Mr. Porter said In part: - "We .are living today In a period of revelation, the unfolding of Chris tian Science, which reveals man gov erned by Principle, Truth and good. "It Is also well to recognize In this connection that there never has been a revelation of truth without an un covering of error. Against the auto cratic evils of personal control the nations of the world are waging to day a tremendous w.trfare. and men and' women" who are eqnsecrated to theildeals of Principle and Truth are undr the responsibility and obliga tion to see to it that none of these evils of personal control shall arise out f the conflict and sacrifice In the guise either of philanthropy, philosophy or human welfare; In the rulse of socialism or democracy; In the guise even of religion or church, whereby the autocratic evils of personal control, political, ec clesiastical, medical or otherwise, nilght be re-enacted again In human history. "On page 96 of Science and Health with I Key to the Scriptures the re vered Leader of Christian Science hu recorded these words, which are of particular significance to Chris tian Scientists as well as to all right thinking men. and wnmen: 'During this, final conflict wicked minds will endeavor to find means by which to accomplish more evil, but those who discern Christian Science will hold crime In cheek. They will aid In the election of error.' "When the government of the United States, as the highest 'repre sentative of righteous democracy. Is assailed by the autocracies of per sonal control. Christian Scientists will be the first to assail what Is wrong; to uncover and detect the evil mental forces which are being consciously directed to overthrow and destroy, and, having thus dis cerned what Is wrong, will be found defending the principles of righteous government In the manner and place where each Is best fitted to serve, whether such activities are to be ex nressed In the lines of armed con flict or In the watchtowers of mind, guarding 1hat 'priceless ftrinlty In humanity of thought, word and ac tion, governed by Principle and Trnh. "There Is one thing, however, that we need to know In connection with the war. and that Is that the war will not be ended through the beat of hatred. We need to know that this great nation is not sending forth Is great armies of noble young manhood burdened with the heat of hatred. And we need to know just aa clearly that these armies are not going Into the atmosphere of hatred. "The. war will be ended only, as there is' gslned the true concept of what Is taking place In the world to day. As It will be seen that men are not merely fighting against men, na tions are not merely fighting against nations, but that a truly spiritualized thought the Christ consciousness Is demanding expression In the af fairs, and conduct of nations, as well as of men, with the result that the evil autocracies of personal-control ecclesiastical, political, medical and otherwise seeing a day of reckon ing at hand, are striving vainly to avoid this time of reckoning through the cruel subterfuge of warf "Thus we see that the battle Is not against flesh and blood but in the language of St. Paul Is 'against prin cipalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.' "Into the true concept of what is taking place In the " world today comes the tender compassion of Christian Science unfolding the exact and undevlating demands of Princi ple and Truth which says to the rag ing sea of personal control or per sonal domination: 'thus far and no farther.'" ) .Many of the open spaces are nl! to the mustard pust now a verita ble "field of the cloth of gold."
