MAKE THE TWINE FOR OUR FISHERMEN HERE It is very fortunate for the future great linen industry of Ore gon, that the flax mill at the Oregon prison is to be made more active. -Under the impulses and with the help of the British government, following its policy pf building up a self-contained empire,' 300,000 acres of flax were harvested in Canada last year. Six new linen mills were built in that country We do not care to be crabby; but really that 60-day limit within which prices were to drop in the opinion of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer has expired. LONG DRAWN OCT. There may be some argument for the German contention that her war offenders should be tried before a neutral court. Usually a criminal would desire a change of venue from the scene of his crime and it would be hard to find an unprejudiced jury in England or France. But if the malefactors are tried in Switzerland or some other neutral country the hearings might string out indefinitely and the purpose and lesson of the tribunal be lost. If the usual court procedure is followed and the defendants are given a separate hearing there will be business enough for the courts for the next century. The sultan of Turkey has con tributed over 2.000,000 bushels of wheat to the relief of the starving Machines have been invented by the British for pulling the flax, people of Armenia and ojber parts knocking off three-fourths of the cost of this process. They have adopted methods of scutching that enable them to da this work at one-fifth the former cost, in the old way.

The railway men's threatened rtrike has been put up to the presi dent. That settles it. They will get what they want; or terms leading to that end. And the public will pay. The campaign for the 810,000 fund for the Salem Commercial club, to put that organization in condition to properly carry on its work, is go ing along well. It must be finished, ic the last dollar. It is most important. TWO - VIEWS OX MEXICO. Butithe Canadian flax averages in the markets only about one third the price offered for the best Oregon flax. ; Our growers have that much lead. Our manufacturers will have this lead. Farmers have already contracted to furnish to the prison mill the product of about 325 acres of f lax. That will take all the seed on hand. In case the crop is a good one, thnt will take about all the room available for storage at the prison. . But there should be more seed and more room for storing, and more acres. ' ,y !

Europe already owes the United States over $250,000,000 for interest past due. This is of itself practical argument against any program of further loans on the part of the gov ernment.
