The News-Reporter criticises
some of its exchanges for giving
candidates what it terms free
publicity by using their pictures
in the news columns, and in the
same issue does some free adver­
tising for candidates on its own
account by naming them and tell­
ing what they are out for—sim­
ply a distinction without a differ­
ence. The Graphic will give
space for the picture of any can­

like to know what such and such

sire will be treated as advertis­
ing m atter and will be charged

terribly exhausting. The spirit of rev­
olution against it is in the air, not only
in Rusia, but among the peoples of all
the contending nations. In Germany
it is not apparent so much among the
masses as among the classes—the great
bankers, the heads of industries and of
shipping. The revolution in Germany
is likely to come from thé top. When
the bankers and captains of industry
fully appreciate what the isolation of
Germany means they will be driven to
demand overtures for peace. Whether
the Kaiser can resist these powerful in­
fluences may be questioned, but with­
out money he cannot continue the
dreadful conflict. I believe the end of
the war will be in sight in 1918. Peace
may come as unexpectedly as the war
did.

ANNUAL AUTOMOBILE SHOW
Portland, Ore., Jan. 30—Spe­
cial rates will be granted by the
railroads to the coming big Port­
land Automobile, Truck and
Tractor Show, which will be
held in the new city Auditorium
from February 7 to 13, inclusive.
The war has emphasized the
economic importance ot the au­
tomobile as never before. One
of the main purposes ot this au­
tomobile show will be to demon­
strate the many ways in which
the passenger automobile, the
truck and the farm tractor can
help business and industry and
thereby add to the war resources
ot the Nation.
All the latest passenger car
models will be shown, but the
truck and the farm tractor, par­
ticularly, will have aciplace of
honor at the show. The farm
tractor has added tremendously
to the agricultural efficiency of
France and Great Britain.
In fact, farm tractors have
helped so greatly to defeat the
German submarine campaign by
making possible the cultivation
of increased acreage for food pro­
duction, that the French and
British governments have placed
huge orders in this country for
still more ot them.
The United States government
is encouraging the use ot trac­
tors and trucks to offset the
growing shortage' of man-power
and horses, and to increase food
production and business efficien­
cy. Added to this is the fact
that they are cheaper to operate
than horses doing only a small
part of the work.
A large attendance from out­
side points is expected during
Automobile Show week. Special
arrangements are being made
tor the reception of dealers and
other visitors from outside of
Portland.
