'lf we are to stand aloof from what we call this 'European mess when it is apparent the balance cannot be redressed with : out our help, then why did we come into the war of 1917 1 ' "Because of the things we fought for, because of the things we hoped for, because of the things our merrMied for whether , we like it or not, our lot is now cast in with the 'other nations to a very considerable extent. This whole question rises far and ' away above the clamor and strife of partisan politics, and whosoever seeka to use it for political advantage sullies the memory of the dead we' have come here to honor." So spoke Ambassador Myron T. Herrick in his address on ! Sunday at the dedication of a monument to the war dead at r Nararin farm; Champaigne, France, where the Rainbow division fought with General Gounard 'a army. j The words of our Ambassador to France are particularly - significant from the fact that he has just returned to his post --'efter a visit to Washington, where he conf erred with President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes. j ' . It is evident that our highest" leaders are to 'take the posi ',ti6n that the United States is a part of .the world 1 And that our country is. to Resume its rightful place in the leadership of the world to i which it has been divinely set apart. - Let every American be thankful. .

THE BY-PBOrfUOTS OP FLAX J 1 v 1 ' The Statesman of a few days ago contained in its news col umns an article concerning the t tare manufacturer, looking up his chances of securing flax tow "to be used for upholstering, in the making of the finer grades of furniture. : v -:. . -J- -:: -. ' fl4"' :- : r --,- ' ' He said that the state flax plant has a great future; to be 'fully realized when the stage of spinning the fiber into twines comes : c r - j y :' vr ; ipy - ' . And he said that the furniture manufacturers will fake the 7 part of .the flax straw that is left after the spinning tow is taken . out and used for the higher priced manufactures ; that they will take all of it that can be had here. I '". H- ' v That is encouraging; but it is not new. The furniture man hfacturers have been taking-all of the kind (of upholstering " material mentioned' by the Tacoma mftnv And when they could , not get enough of that kind, , they have been, buying a higher . jrrade of tow for their uses, paying higher prices. The Tacoma manufacturer has bought some of the higher., priced tpw, not ie withstanding a very unfavorable freight rate, which : ihesuper- intendent of the state flax industry is seeking to have remedied as it ought to be remedied. , ' . , . : j There is practically no waste in flax.' The good'seed is used - for sowing; the small and broken seeds are ground up with the .bolls' and used for dairy feed; some of the seed is ground for .the drug trade, for poultice making. The best fiber", suitable . for spinning and weaving, is sold at around 33 cents a pound; L the short fiber at around 17 cents, and the best t upholstering ' tow at around $100 a ton. ? - iM . I : Then eomes the tow of the tow. especially of the short tWf- which is the product described by the Tacoma manufac turer. "It is known as the noils. This sells for around $65 a ton. . The only waste is of the shives, or woody part of the stalk. This only is thrown away. r . ,r v V r The threshing of the 400 tons of flax at Rickreall, belong ing to the state flax plant, .will be commenced within a day or two." As soon as space. can be cleared away, "there will be some other flax treating work started there, and within 20 to 30 days there will be soma' of the upholstering i tow turned out there - .v;-y v r ..'V-4 '-' r;-';' v- i ' i : , ' In order to accommodate the manufacturers who have been Tegular customers, and who are very anxious to get. their sup plies here at home. .'."':"', -' ' v " "-!'-. : , It will be but a Very short time after the Waking of up holstering tow begins at Rickreall , when the buildings and machinery willvbe ready for treating the large supply of flax at It he penitentiary some 1600 tons of it. 1 .This is written mainly for the purpose pf showing that the state flax plant has already been doing what this Tacoma' man ufacturer saict ought to be done r 1 . f I Up to the point of spinning the finer flax fiber into seine twine, and the, lower grade fiber into sack twiner-and twines of those grades for Other purposes. . ' . : a , - '. -f It is proposed and intended to secure machinery for manu facturing such twines and thus to place the; Oregon peniten tiary on a self supporting basis. ' t SENATOR McNARY v . The r Oregon Statesman this morning contains the announce " meat, of Senator Chas. L. McNary. document is straightforward and! fair. Just the kind that would ' be expected from our fellow citl ; xenL' Senator McNary is sane and sensible on public questions. He T nasi been a resident of Salem for years and has' endeared himself as it man!; His public services as senator have been of a character jto raise him further in public es teem. He' has made good as sen ator; even those opposed to his renomlaatlon must concede that, ' Senator McNary Is clean cut and straightforward, always approach ablo, always able to be of use to his I constituents. ; He has spent : the entire summer ' visiting the . various parts of the state. It has , been his first real opportunity to return to his people and give an accojunt of his stewardship, 'wlth : 'but neglecting his duties. He has dnnfl this and also informed him cf tie -terd 3 of the people. , 1 J. L. Brady Vice-President Manager Editor Manager Job Dept. 583 106 Oregon, as second class matter. OF THE WORLD visit here of a. Tacoma furni- Senator McNary will be com mended for the 'Open ? manner of his declaration ; He has nothing to conceal, no pledges to , make other than those he will make to all the peopled that' he will con tinue to give them the best that is in him. - - .' 1 OUR ECONOMIOAIj DISCONTENT ' We will never put: our finger squarely on the trouble of this country until ! we recognize that the discontent; ia economical not political. ' Politics being our fa vorite game, everything is apt to find expression through that chan nel and , we have been attempting o apply political .remedies. . Pol itics is the quack doctor. It pre scribes ' appellative without mak ing a cure. When we return to the principles ' of economical pro bity we will be able to prescribe effectively. ? For - thousands of years men have attempted to de fy economic laws but It cannot be done. They are based on uni versal principles of life and, had life before politics was heard of. They operate to ''the end of time. When we overcome friction and get perpetual motion we may "ex pect to overcome the economical laws." and overturn thera." But until that time we will be'eon- stantly defying the fundamental. The trouble of the farmer ia purely economic and while quack doctors have been undertaking to prescribe they have not gone to the bottom ! and given a real diagnosis. They have skimmed over the top, and the prescrip tions have been "If yon elect me to office, I will find a remedy" so tittle progress has , been made that it is pleasing t6 see increas ingly large bodies o farmers pre paring to handle' their own af fairs, settle their own difficulties without calling "in competent quacks. The farmer's difficulties are very real but they will be met by cooperative marketing. ' coop erative distribution and above all cooperative acting. The farmer Is now Individualized and has done individual thinking, while every other Industry has organ ized and has done organized thinking. Cooperation is the sal vation of the farmer because co operation organizes under the economic law Instead of under the political. t; DISTRIBUTING TAXES Up to this time every legisla ture has been confronted with, providing new avenues of tax ation. This has been .because every avenue so -far" provided is about as burdensome "ai could be supported. What we want, how ever. Is to quit piling 'up taxes and begin flsdffcC-a fetter distri bution.' v:iT , '-1 rj r -1 f Visible property has had rather the worst of it and when we. get after the Invisible men : rush to tax free securities. ' ? California levies no direct, prop erty tax but the people pay the tax just the same. Every article that is purchased from the public util ities contains a ; portion of i the state taxes. The entire effort should be to make? the distribu tion so 'equitable that the public would feel that they were get ting a square deal. That Is all anybody has a right to ask and It is almost all anybody does ask. Our three cent tax; on gasoline is a case in point in which a heavy tax would be heavy but for the fact Jthat it Is fair and shows to every? man that he gets a square deal, tfcat .be pays according to the amount he consumes himself and ! that each of his neighbors payvspracisely on, the jsame basis. ; When we reach the point in our taxing l operations that : the distri bution! Is absolutely fair, opposi tion wll disappear. : I f BOOSTIXO BRANDS The !i Hood River Apple Grow ers' association has evolved and is trying lout a new method of get ting 'wider distribution of its . ap ples. The method is fully de scribed in other columns so we do not even summarize It here. " 4 ; The Wenatchee growers are spending 'perhaps $200,000 f in their "Eat Wenatchee Apples" selling' campaign and similarly spent about that sum last year. Both these efforts are commen dable In purpose. It Is , to be hoped i that they bring rich re turns. ) "-";' ': ' !-, Just for the moment, however we ask the reader to see the point we make in stating that even here we have an element of competitive selling. Fortunately this compe tition is dased more upon "qual ity talk" than tupd the ?jrice factor, ' ' ' '' : l- ' A To the Jobber In Omaha nthere must come some such thought as this; Jere are two northwestern organizations' trying to sell me boxed apples. I hardly think there can be anjr, material difference in quality or salability. It's nice to have, these two different distinets out after my business, and if two or three more of their districts join in the game I am likely to get some "price Inducements." f It looks encouraging to see them hustling out after my business, anyhow. ' ; ' . ' , - Efforts to popularize our apple brands have "Better Frult's' com mendation. 1 But they must not be efforts to push" one of our brands out by pushing another ' n. ' The movement to advertise northwest ern boxed apples above all brands was once' well framed. - It would not have eliminated the various association brands nor have inter fered with the advertisement . oi these. .The movement died in its inclplency. This is to be regret ted',' for it was another step in the direction of eliminating , needless and harmful seller competition.! i DIVERGING Senator IaFollette has kept his place through the most strenuous fighting years. A radical he over turned the conservative state gov ernment and has held the. undis puted leadership in Wisconsin for twenty years. Because of personal disappointment and unfortunate disposition he is not nationally a leader. In Wisconsin be la a lead- er. In the nation he Is a fault! finder and critic. -x: '; Senator Hiram Johnson "was a radical, who was elected' governor in California. It is 'probably riot an exaggeration to say that he was th best governor California ever had. He was outspoken and force ful. As a Renator he has grown constantly more conservative with the result that he has been accept ed as a national leader. These two men started in life in the same way, each was ambi tious and each was confronted with a state machine that had been able to break on the wheel every man who dared to oppose. Both were good governors but La Follette was not national while Johnson became a national figure. He has not sacrificed any of his principles but be has become more conservative as he felt the respon sibility of his position. They have won j so far yet both these men stand a mighty good chance to be broken on foreign policies. La Follette cannot be hurt very much because he is not considered a national figure. But Johnson can lose everything by shutting his eyes to the necessities of the world, and insisting upon, selfish ness of the part of this govern ment. CITV ZONING There Is always opposition to zoning cities but twenty-two mil lion people now live in 183 zoned cities, x During the first eight months oj this year fifty four mu nicipalities ' with 6,500,000 popu lation have adopted zoning ordin ances.. , The. difficulties In the smaller pities have, been greater than in the larger. . It Js not fair for any city to live without a zon ing ordinance. The property own ers have a right to be protected from the intrusion of the junk yards, ugly buildings and noisy factories. The citizens should not be compelled to keep watch ing out for these rights. The city ordinance should give them pro tection and security.

"All these conceptions or souls around the walls are his," she re turned, in the same low tone. "He claims he can see through any one's eyes to the naked soul beneath. I dodge him every time I see him for fear he'll want to paint mine. But I 'guess it's too purple-hued, even for him." She" gave a cynical little chuckle and ushered us through groups of people gathered around the can vases hung upon the walls to the front of the room. There the A Good Thing - DOST MIS$ IT.

A Crart Move.. "MIbs Corwin. Mr. Hunt!" she began eagerly. "Just think of it! Here is 'Robert Savarin.i come to have a look at us." ' That they both knew what Rob ert Sayarin's name means in the art world, I saw by the look in their eyes, the almost reverential eagerness with which they shook his hand. It is tbe sime attitude which T have seen Dicky display, although the intimacy of our mountain life together this sum mer has made Dicky more the chum of Robert Savarin than the devotee. I always have a new conception of the shy, reserved artist when I see what effect the mention of his genius has upon those who know of him. 'I thought perhaps Mr. Savarin might make a little speech," Mrs. Rundle began, and I gasped at the craft and audacity of her. If she could carry out that scheme, and afterward Robert should see fit to praise her pictures, her tide of fortune would have turned. For I bad seen a face watching us, near enough to have heard Mrs. Rundle's introduction, the face of a man whom Dicky once had point ed out to me as an extremely wealthy man whose fad it was to buy pictures of promising artists. And 1-also recognized tbe faces! of two or three New York picture dealers. ' - - . "No oh; no!" Robert Savarin protested hurrrely,; and there was that in bite tone which quieted even the audacious Mrs. Rundle. "I have just 'eome 'in tto look over Mrs. Rundle's pictures at Mrs. Here it is, at last ! The plan you have been looking for simple, prac tical, convenient.
