fTo President Harding, Senators McNary and Stanfield,
and Congressmen Hawley, McArthur and Sinnott:
. jThe way the farm loan act was held up under the Demo
cratic administration was a disgrace
jAnd if it is being still held up on account of the un
friendly attitude of Mr. Lobdell and other members of the
Farr i Loan Board at Washington unfriendly to the spirit of
the aw itself as is asserted by the Master of the State
' Grange, president of the Farmers' Union, secretary of the
Farrh Bureau Federation and other Oregon men represent
ing the farmers of this state
; iv If what these men solemnly say is true
' Lobdell and all the other members of the Farm Land Board
at Washington ought to be fired
'i Fired bodily.
And so should every other official of every other branch

THE APPEAL FOR
these are not times in which it is easy to raise funds
for needs. in distant corners of the world. But the appeal to
aid t$e starving in China comes with a peculiar urgency. The

States are under some doubt and suspicion, however mistak

The famine Is the product of inefficient government;
irrigation and similar public works would have averted it.
Some American observers on the scene appear to believe that
-for tfis reason it is the last great famine for the relief of
which we shall be called upon. Others, less sanguine, feel
that China cannot so quickly be awakened. For the present

There was a boom in marriages
In England and Wales last year
when nearly 400.000 cduples were
wed. This easily constitutes a
record, says the registrar general.
For the three years preceding th
war the annual average was only
280,000, and only twice has the
300.0000 mark been passed in
1915 and 1919 when, owing to
the recruiting cry of "single men

figures.
IAKKHH AND WRITKRH OF
HISTORY.
It is quite Interesting to ob
serve how many members of the
late Democratic administration,
who were makers of history dur
inn the war period, are busy writ
ing it now. Joseph us Daniels has
taken a place In the press gallery
t Washington and. like another
Josephus, is writing both current
and ancient history. Former
Secretary Lansing's disappointing
personal narrative of the peace
conference and his interesting
newspaper studies of the four
chief actors have been received
and. for the most part, forgotten.
Colonel House, once the morgan
stic secretary of states. Is now
writing criticisms on chrrent poli
ics and world events for a Phil
adelphia syndicate.
Mr Wilson carried away with
Mm from the White House some
tons of documents to eerve 83 ref

All four of these men have
been makers of history. While
Mr. Wilson overshadows the
others, like a pine rising aboe
the chaparral, the name of each
will remain attached to the epoch
during which they were in nation
al life. But whether any of them
will be a successful writer, that
i.-. another story, When one turns
to the past the name of Caesar
alone looms as both a successful
maker and writer of history; and
there is no existing proof that
he ever personally wrote a line
of the narrative of the Gallic
wars. There were propagan
iets even In those days, and the
diction that is still so much ad
mired is probably that of some
talented secretary whose name
the canker of time devoured with
his bones.
Napoleon wrote memoirs while
at St. Helena; but who has' read
tbem? Grant's memoirs have al
most been forgotten. Perhaps
there was a psychological reason
why few of the great makers of
history of the past left person
ally written records of their
achievements. Thse who were
successful to the jtime of their
death were too busy doing things
to take time to write of them;
while those who failed seldom
had the opportunity to write. It
vas the unwritten law of the re
mote and middle ages that to
lose an army or an empire was
a capital offense.
In modern times it has been
chiefly the losers who have cared
to turn historians, to give their
versions of the events of which
they were a part. The former
kaiser and his army and navy
chiefs have written books telling
bow Germany came to lose the
war; and Count Czernin of Aus
tria has written a really interest
ing account of. the decline and
fall of the Austro-Hungarian em
pire. But, on the other side of
the water, the winners have been
content to accept the place In his
tory which others will assign to
them.
Neither Clemenceau nor Lloyd
George has evinced a desire to
become an author, although
Clemenceau was a ready and In
teresting writer before he became
premier. While there are, of
course, exceptions, the general
rule has been that only those turn
to writing history, after having
collaborated in its making, who
have loft the power they once ex
ercised and seek to explain away
their fall.
Colonel House has made one in
teresting contribution to the his
tory of events leading to the dec
laration of war. He relates in
a recent article that he was in
Potsdam on June 1. 1914. as tho
personal (representative of then
President Wilson: that he wit
nessed an assembling of the "pick
of the imperial army." He ob-
j serves that "it is doubtful wheth
I er there was ever-before or since
; suchr ar brilliant military display."
In a park outxide the palace the
kaiser Btood alone in gloomy ma
jesty reviewing the honor men
from the crack regiments. And
Colonel House notes that "he
looked a martial and imperial fig
ure the embodiment of a mod
ern war lord." f
At a luncheon glveu after th
teview Colonel House told the
kaiser frankly that th assembl
ing of so great a war machine on
the part of Germany could not be
viewed by the entente countrieg
as other than a war tuove: that
rulers peacefully Inclined did not
make such martial dlsplaa, The
kaiser replied In substance that
it was good for his neighbors to
hfar an occasional rattle of the
German sword, that it taught
tbem their places
These comments were written
by Colonel Mouse after reading a
teview of the kaiser's memoirs in
which he asserts that he was the
most inclined to peace of all the
monarch of his time; that be and
not Mr. Wilson was the first to
propose a league of nations. Col
onel House writes that he was
ronvinced by the review that
".pmeone'1 in Germany was ex
pecting war and was .getting pre
pared for it. and that he secretly
advised our state department to
that effect; that there can be no
question that the kaiser prepared
all the fuel for the conflagration,
although he may disclaim having
been the first to set a match to
It.
It Is doubtful, however, wheth
er the pages of ( history will be
greatly enriched by the contri
butions of anyone who took an
actual part of prominence in the
world war. The historian of that
conflict has probably not yet been
horn. A living history of our
own Civil war has never been
written. although scores have
made the attempt; and it is pos
sible that the towering magnitude
of the world war may cause that
conflict of the states to pass at
last from the world's memory for
want of a gifted chronicler.
BTALK IIUSRAXDS.
The president of the Women's
Freedom league says that after
the fifth year the man is an ab
solute negligible factor in the
home. "Negligible factor" means
that he cuts no Ice. He's a dead
one and is about as Important as
a rabbit at the zoological gardens.
After a man has been a husband
for five years, why not stun him
on the head with an ax and bury
him In the pansy bed? Why not
drown our fifth-year husbands
nd save a lot of money?
In recent years women have
taken to shooting their husbands.
Sometimes they do not wait for
the fifth year, but begin blazing
away as soon as the honeymoon
has staled. They take no chances
on having a negligible factor
around the place. They want a
live one and start the program by
killing off the one they have.
There is nothing as useless as a
shelf-worn husband. He simply
clutters up the place and takes
the room bf something mors
serviceable or ornamental. Pos
sibly it would be better to chloro-
St
. . .. . , ip I ' i 11 '4
form all husbands after the fifth
year.
Yet husbands have their value.
Probably4 the lady in command of
the Women's Freedom league
took some pride in thi first one
she rounded up and was inclined
to show him off to the neighbors.
Women usually do. Sometimes
they are so desirous of a man
that they do not hesitate to fcteal
the husband of some other wo
man even a fifth-year husband.
Indeed the Women's Freedom
league is so called because the
members feel an absolute freedom
to engage in husband Ftealing in
addition to running for sheriff
and other sports.
Possibly husbands are not worth
much sympathy, but some of them
at; least deserve a better fate than
to be labeled as negligible factors
and pushed off the earth after
their fifth year of servitude. A
neighboring editor suggest!, that
w might at least have a be-kiud-t
dumb-husbands week.

We have heard of Christian
king, but King Christian of Den

The Georgia planter who killed
eleven negroes to avoid paying
them wages w&s finally convicted,
but the jury thoughtfully recom
mended him to the clemency of
the court. Tbtey thought he
should be punishred for careless

to deeply concern the state of
Georgia.
