THE BELL AND WHAT IT
SYMBOLIZES.
fm HE Liberty Bell is famous
OL because it rang when the
Declaration of Independ
ence was signed and proclaim
ed to the world. Therefore
the old bell symbolizes the
principles set forth in Jeffer
son's immortal document.
These are:
That all men are creat
ed equal.
That they are endowed
by their Creator with cer
tain unalienable rights.
That among these are
life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness.
That to secure these
rights governments are
instituted among men, de
riving their just powers
from the consent of the
governed. And
That whenever any
form of government be
comes destructive of these
j ends it is the right of the
people to alter or to abol
ish it, and to institute new
government, laying its
' foundation on such prin
1 ciples and organizing it?
powers in such form as to
them shall seem most like
ly to effect their safety
and happiness.
Those are striking words to
day. But do they reach the
heart as they did in the days of
old? Are we the same sterling,
liberty loving people we were
in the days of Bunker Hill and
Valley Forge? Have the peo
ple forgotten the fundamental
principles of the republic and
learned to bow too much in
homage before the new tyran
ny of wealth?
There are many who fear as
much. The question is often
nsked if the people are not for
feiting the old ideals of justice
the price to the farmer this
year will be much less than he
will expect under prevailing
conditions.
It may be freely admitted
that high charters depress
wheat prices. When charters
are at 80 shillings it costs 52
cents a bushel to transport
wheat from Portland to Eu
rope. Such charges are about
35 cents higher than in normal
times and represent what the
farmer loses through lack of
ships.
But it will take something
more than this to explain the
wide differences between
Portland and Liverpool prices
for wheat. Liverpool quotati
ons are now in the vicinity of 11
shillings four pence. Reduced
to American terms that means
$1.82 per bushel Liverpool. De
duct from this price 52 cents
for freight still leaves $1.30 per
bushel, which makes a margin
of 42 cents a bushel between
the Liverpool price and the
bid price in Portland Saturday.
Why is the Portland market
42 cents under the Liverpool
market even after the high oce
an freight charge is deducted?
Does the insurance cost 42
cents per bushel ? It seems im
possible that the insurance
could cost so much and the dif
ference in Liverpool and Port
land wheat prices leads to the
suspicion that the shipping
combine may not be the only
combine that is after the far
mer's goat.
There is just now a differ
ential of $1.06 in Pendleton
and Liverpool wheat prices. Of
this amount 64 cents may be
accounted for in freight charg
es. Who gets the rest?
MEXICAN INDIANS
AMERICANS who hold that
y Porfiro Diaz was a great
president of Mexico, and
have never ceased to regret the
refusal of the Wilson adminis
tration to recognize Huerta as
president, argue that the Mex
ican Indians, forming a large
percentage of the population,
are totally unfit for self-government.
Diaz was an "Indian"
and so is Huerta. The Aztecs
and Toltecs had wrought out
for themselves a high degree
of civilization before the Span
ish conquistadores landed on
Mexican soil. But little inferi-
these two countries. Nations
seldom go to war over acade
mic differences of opinion.
The liberty bell should be
repaired so it may ring again ;
political freedom is not entirely
an accomplished fact in this
country,

It is remarkable how much
Portlanders and easterners
know regarding our crop conditions.
It is a dull day that does not
produce some sort of bomb outrage.

GOOD LAW TODAY.
(From the New York World.)
ii is a solemn protest tnat more
than 10U0 American Importers lodged
with the state department Saturday
and with the president yesterday
against the British blockade of the
neutral state of Holland. It Is
frivolous defense of British policyl

intensely anti-German that they arej

on us.

the t uited States is charged not onlyj
with the defense of its own sover-l
ciKiity but with the preservation of
the privileges of ail neutrals now and
foreer. '
( if Holland we hear frequently of the
case of the Springbok that arose dur-,
Ing the civil war. We never hear
from sources sympathetic with Ore-'U
Britain of the case of the Feteroff,
which is more directly in point.
In the affair of the Springbok the
l"riItMl States supreme court laid
down the doctrine of continuous voy
ahe. The ship, sailing from England,
v-.is ostensibly destined to Nassau, In
the Bahamas. Her cargo was made
up of powder and other supplies for
the Confederate army. She was seiz
ed before reaching Nassau, and the
court held that she was a lawful prize,
because there was net mjestlon of her
ai tmil destination or of the fact that
her cargo was contraband. That i
