The people of the world look beyond the ghost-dancers of the United States Senate. i They peer behind the oratorical skirts of the old women of the upper branch of Congress as they perform their incantations, and visualize the interminable lines of the ghosts of the slain in the wars of the past. The American general staff 's latest estimate of the total number off killed in this war, and solely because of this war, was 7,354,000. If we return to prewar conditions we return to a system of society and government in the world that has been responsible for killing 7,354,000 soldiers within four and a half years. .1" FM;"' iv, -- 6"-" $730,p00 to provide a six-foot than- single column, four abreast it would not get by m ten years. oklawaha Creek, near the Add trie war s civilian dead iron ,ureci or inairect causes, , ana k Qf Senator of Florid& ine procession oi gnosis wouiu lane me average lux-uuie m passing. Senator Lodge and Senator Knox are anxious above all to bring our living soldiers back home from France without the least delay.. . God grant they may come soon. . But the senators ought to be even more anxious to convince the relatives and friends of the 7,354,000 slain that they have not all died in vain. I The peoples of the world who want peace on earth and good will to men established on an enduring basis, and the possibility of future wars blotted from the minds of this generation and the generations to come, are not greatly concerned about the petty details of the wording of the initial agreement among the nations upon which to base the beginning of the great work. I The; simpler the better, so that room, is given for expansion in the years to come and the ages to follow. j If the voices of all the peoples of the world, who wish the usher ing in of the golden age of peace could be made auditory, the sound would reach to the very tars, and the roar would drown into the recollection of a whisper the1 puny lispings of the time servers who would seek to put off for a moment the dawning of the day of de liverance from-the blood-cursedeaffjothe past. .I " 'j , The' building of Salem into a city of 50,000 people, and then 100,000, and then some, is simple.

IX TIIE COXCRETB Senator Kenyon said tiie cretk was a, tiny stream flowing through a swamp and that the real intent was to enlarge the bed to drain adjoin ing swamp land. Another test vote was taken on a bill for deepening Raccoon Creek in New. Jersey. Sena tor Kenyon called attention to the fact that the stream did not appear on the map of any atlas obtainable. As thte voting progressed it was apparent that the Democratic sena tors had accomplished the necessary log-rolling to keep the bill intact. Public necessity could not hold the field against political expediency. Nearly evtry southern senator ca'- awaw t . .nMo iendurance. ..., , . V Among the medicinal substances While the Sixty-fifth congies pas ,that thia combination brings into co- made an excellent war record in many ways, the record is badly mar red by the voracious appetites for pork of the southern Democrats. It takes the prize not only lor a great er expenditure, but for niore wanton waste than any other four congress es in the history of the country. The argument that "the war is worth all it cost" is not a defense of political pillage. the election since that . time two years apart of governor and secre tary of state.

The big idea Is to have everybody save the clippings from their Spaniels and Pekinese pets, as well as use the pelts of long-haired canines. A superior grade of wool can thus be had, and it mixes well with other wools for the production of fine fabrics. It doth thereby appear, that the hair of the do? is good for something else besides the bite.

A FLVKIt IX I'OHK Governor Wlthycombe if he 'so de sires Get this distinction: In the case of an appointment to fill a va cancy, the appointee serves only un til the next general election. Itut this it not an appointment. It is contingency provided for by th slate constitution. Tie man becomes the governor; the man himself, and not the office he holds. He does not be come acting governor. He becomes governor. The language of the Ore- fon constitution is almost identical with the constitution of the United States, providing for the succession of the vice president, upon the death or disability of tha piesident. He becomes president, not acting presi dent. That ha4 always followed. Warn Mr. Olcott was appointed f.ee- retary of state, lie held only till the next general election. The vacancy occurred very early in the term of Mr. Iienson. whe had been elected the second time to that office. Hence President Wilson is a queer com pound. Tho other day he was intro duced to United Stites Senator George Chamberlain of Oregon and the President almost froze the lat ter with the chilliness of hts hand shake. Chamberlain has always been an administration man "and Democrat :biit he had the nerve to criticize the conduct of the war. That placed him beyond the pale of the Wilson friendship. As Col. W.'J. nryan pt It: "At the end of Patriotism and pork came to grips in the senate lat wek while the Democratic rivers and- harbors bill was under discussion.
