The New York World, the thick- and-thin apologist for President Wil son, has unloaded him. Everybody Is doing It. It Is quite unnecessary for some of the statesmen to announce that they are not in the : field for the presidential nomination. And another thing, the people of this country will take care of them selves If the government will let them alone. Why not try the expert ment? It seems to be assured that Dryan will be one of the unnecessary noises at the Democratic national conven tion.

It amounts to a dare and everybody knows what a spunky per son thinks of a dare. Lady Astor does not use strong liquors, but she might under prohibition. She feels like a lot of traveling men did in former days when they went into the supposedly prohibition states like Io wa or Kansas. Although they might be strictly temperate in the home town, they would be possessed of a consuming thirst immediately on en tering forbidden territory. A HOUSE DIVIDED. If Governor Edwards of New Jer sey is going to run for president as a wet candidate, a few remarks will be made every now and then by Wil liam Jennings Bryan. If the Republicans should divide on the league of nations and the Democrats on prohibition, there would be a swell chance to get four candidates in the field and Bryan would be perfectly happy again. FUR BEARING. Third and fourth parties will come and they will go, as they have gone before. The two old parties will absorb what they have of worth to offer, and the parties themselves will go into the discard. In a re public, there will be room for many parties, always; but two main parties will ever have the front of the stage. XO FREEDOM. Because they are not allowed to use their voices in publicly inciting their .dupes to 'violence against the government the communists say that they are denied the free speech that is guaranteed by the constitution. Under the full form of Bolshevism i advanced in - Russia freedom of speech and freedom of the press are absolutely denied and even a labor union is impossible. H.. Every man must work, think and act along lines established by those In authority and no man can be as sured of even the sanctity of his own home or the proceeds of his own labor. There can be no co-operation In business or industry, except for the advantage of the supreme power. Here we haven't got through pay ing for the winter furs and they are already advertising summer ones. The grouch who said that the fur industry was a skin game must have been a married man. BITS FOR BREAKFAST MILKING TIME. This new congressional idea of substituting for other federal taxes a direct assessment of 1 per cent 'an all things purchased, whether food. clothing, raw materials or real es tate. Is about the most daring tax suggestion of all time and shows how wild and woolly we have grown. A few seasons back a hint like that would be enough to start a lynching bee. Now people are wondering If the man who fathers the thought isn't really a statesman. Always the ef forts of the tax makers are in the direction of opening new avenues of assessment or levying fresh bur dens. Apparently that genius serve! his, country best . who can pry the most money from the people with the least roar. It is milking time and the best) milker is the man the government most needs.

He is a poor gink who will not stand up for his own country. But Oregon people are not going to fall for the Non-Partisan social ism of North Dakota, any more than for the Bolshevist socialism of Rus sia. It all leads to the same place.
