THE CAMPING SONG.
How can we stay In the town,
Now that the winter is dune?
.Seme here a willow lets down
Her flowing hair In the gun.
Somewhere a road is turning.
And Dawn's campfire is burn
ing And oh, my heart Is yearning
To go, my golden one.
Give me your hand and run
Out to the Road that we
know.
Scatter the dew in the sun.
And our hearts will sing as
we go.
"Somewhere the leaves are
making
A tent that is ours for the tak
ing Somewhere, when stars are
walking,
Our own campflre shall
glow."
When, on the Steeps of Sleep,
Our tent of stars shall glow,
Let us send through stillness
deep
This stng
low,
"Somewhere a Road Is leading
To something some heart is
needing
Somewhere a Road is leading.
If you will only go!"

SPEEDING TO COVER
0 slippery is the cause of
the midnight resolution
that even the Portland
Oregonian has taken to the
bush by denying it preferred
railroad ownership of the land
to government ownership.
If railroad ownership of the
land is not preferable to gov
ernment ownership there was
no excuse for the midnight res
olution. The only possible
purpose of the resolution was
to help reverse Judge Wolver-
ton's decision, take the land
from the government and give
it back to the railroad.
The plea about wanting the
land for settlers is bosh. In
the task of turning the lands
over to settlement the govern
ment is more trustworthy than
the railroad. The railroad
held the land for 50 years and
did not give it to settlers
though obligated by contract
to do so.
The midnight resolution if
followed by the supreme court,
would permit the railroad to
retain its land and dispose of
it as originally ordered. It
would mean $6,000,000 to the
company at the very, least. It
might mean $50,000,000.
The Oregonian gives an illus
tration of a newspaper that
started forth to defend a shady
job and did not have the stom-!
ach to finish the fight. It is!

at Washington, has com
piled figures to the following
appalling effect, says a St.
Louis paper:
Deaths among babies whose
fathers get less than $10 a
week, 256 out of every 1000.
Deaths among babies whose
fathers get $25 or more a week,
84 out of every 1000.
Has any other argument for
social justice been as convinc
ing. The industrial system has
been called a Moloch because
it makes child labor a source of
important profits.
It seems to be a feeble name
for an industrial system that
causes the death of 172 out of
every thousand babies by with
holding from the fathers the
pay that would provide the con
ditions essential to life.

CURRENT THINKING
THE AMERICAN INVENTOR.
I
A young man employed by the gov
ernment announced the other day that
he had worked out processes for get
ting 200 per cent more gasoline out
of oil and of making in this country
certain important constituents of coal
tar dyes and of high explosives.
Mother Necessity has been hard on
the heels of our industrial chemists
for some time; and, as usual, they
have furnished the answer. Of Mr.
Rlttman's discoveries Financial Am
erica said the other day:
"The free use of the discovery as
to gasoline, as promised by the fact
that the patents on the processes are
to be dedicated to the whole Ameri
can people, will do more to establish
an equality of competition in the oil
refining industry than many of the
laws directed against monopoly, price
fixing and restraint of trade.
"The process relating to the pro
duction of materials necessary for the
dye industry will make the United
CHIRIHES TO ADVERTISE. j
(Editorial from the Chicago "Am
erican."
It was rather startling to hear from
Talcott Williams, director of the
School of Journalism In Columbia
College, that the success of the Billy
Sunday revival in Philadelphia was
due to an advertising campaign by
the churches of that city.
The appointment of a committee of
ministers to arrange a program of
advertising for Chicago churches, In
consequence of this address, indi
cates that the churches have awak
ened to the necessity of modern
methods.
Perhaps this Is the answer to the
question that has been so often asked
of recent years. "Why has church at
tendance fallen off?"
England, confronted with the ne
cessity of raising an army of more
than a million men resorted to adver
tisement to get them and averted
the terrifying expedient of conscrip
tion. If patriotism can be stirred by ad
vertisement there is no reason that
religion should be squeamish at em
ploying the same method. It Is a
simple recognition of a change In
habits of thought. Everybody reads
the newspapers. The advertisements
jog their perception in regard to what
they need whether It is an automo-

NO HUGHES COFFEE
HOSE republicans who
have been hoping against
hope that Justice Charles
E. Hughes of the supreme
court, of the United States
might consent to .become a can
didate for the republican nom
ination for the
presidency in
1916 must have felt their spir-
can afford to make allowances' !nk yesterday at .the pub-
for them. It would be wrong
not to do so. The bent thing
the American people can do is
to support the administration
in its desire for peace.
A sober man does not show
valor or dignity by fighting
with a man who is drunk. Why
cannot the same rule apply to

lication of the following state
ment made in the jurist's be
half and with his approval:
"Justice Hughes wholly dis
approves the use of his name
in connection with the presi

has he no desire to re-enter
politics, but as a member of the
supreme court he is not avail
able. He is not a candidate in
any sense and cannot permit
his name to be used."
