"Do you think the widow of the man. who was lynched will win her damage suit against the mob?" "I reckon not," replied Mr. Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, Ark. "When a lady loses the kind of a husband that a mob would nacherly lynch she hasn't lost anything. And when a gang of prominent citizens take time from their own business to lynch a cuss just b'cuz he needs It, it hain't reasonable to expect 'em to pay for the privilege of doing the community a favor.

LOYALTY TO YOUR STOMACH Is the first essential to when help is needed THE APPETITE THE STOMACH THE LIVER OR -THE BOWELS TRY HOSTETTERS Stomach Bitters GRAVE PROBLEMS FACING AMERICA International Issues Become Acute and Hew Policies Are Necessary. SUBMARINE ISSUE IS FOREMOST All But Most Important of Domestic Affairs to Take Background Trade Blockade Looms. Washington, D. C A portentous and complicated international situation now faces President Wilson and for the next few weeks will engage his at tention and that of has advisers to the exclusion of all but the most urgent of domestic subjects. From now on the President expects to deal with all foreign questions with out embarrassment. .While it is not evident there will not be any funda mental change in policy, fear that any move at all would be misinterpreted as inspired by an internal political strug gle has been removed. The President must decide how the United States shall meet the German submarine question on the one hand and the entente allies' trade restric tions on the other; whether the retali atory legislation shall be enforced; whether the traditional theory of isola tion shall be abandoned for concerted neutral action; whether the country shall have an aggressive or passive' policy toward the peace conference af ter the war; the permanent league to enforce peace and, during the rest of the war, the question whether Amer ica's attitude be governed by benevo lent interpretation of international law according to its own best interests, or shall it be strictly legalistic, regard less of whom it affects. T5k most disquieting problem is the .German submarine situation. live critical case are pending, one involv ing kss of six American lives. Increasingly serious is the fast growing conviction that any kind of a general submarine warfare is intoler able. Germany is known to be build ing submarines rapidly and there is the possibility of starvation campaign against England. The U. S. may find it difficult to avoid complications. ' The American attitude is flat and final. No technicalities will be admit ted. Ships must not be sunk without warning or without provision for the safety of the passengers. The armed ship issue will not be accepted. Sec retary Lansing foresaw it last March, when, without announcing his reason, he decreed that merchant vessels could carry a small defensive gun. The future of the submarine situation is felt to rest entirely with Germany. Two possibilities are feared: Either that Germany will decide she can starve England by an undersea cam paign or that she may endeavor to in volve this country, and thus insure the participation in peace conferences of a generous enemy. Beyond this, the Lusitania case remains unsettled. Germany has admitted liability and offered indemnity. But the delicate matter of its amount has not been set tled. Attempts made to close the is sue have been repeatedly blocked by unexpected new U-boat complications. The ravages of the U-63 off New Englaad were displeasing to the gov ernment. It was said that continu ance of the practice would not be per mitted, as it would constitute a practi cal blockade of American harbors. Relations with the entente allies are less clear-cut. Sea power has enabled them, through the blockade and the im position of the blacklist, virtually to destroy all foreign trade hostile to them and divert all commerce to their own uses. Constant belligerent en croachments on neutral rights have led President Wilson to say that neutrality is "intolerable." Mexico is in a serious plight. . Of ficials are beginning to despair of Car ranza, yet no alternative is Been. The Nicaraguan treaty is being bitterly protested by the other Central Ameri can nations, and offers a possible source of trouble. Conditions there and in San Domingo and Hayti are un settled. Also the treaty for the pur chase of the Danish West Indies for $25,000,000 is still unratified. Arkansas Mayor Freed. Batesville, Ark. Gilbert Richard son, mayor of Batesville. was acauitted of murder by a jury in 'Circuit court here late Saturday. The jurors delib erated three hours. As the verdict was read, Richard son's 17-year-old wife, the alleged cause of the killing for which he was tried, rushed into his arms and they wept together. The trial ended exactly two weeks from the day on which Mayor Richard son killed young Farrell Padgett. The shooting occurred at a dance. . Hughes Wins Minnesota.

FRANCIS JOSEPH Of AUSTRIA DIES AFTER REIGN Of SIXTY-EIGHT YEARS ' London Emperor Francis Joseph died Tuesday night at . 9 o'clock at Schoenbrunn Castle, according to a Keuter dispatch from Vienna by way of Amsterdam. The aged monarch received the sac rament last Saturday. His condition became worse early Monday, and hi temperature Increased in the after Telegraphing from Amsterdam, the Central News correspondent says : 'Vienna report that, although the death of the emperor had been expect ed, the news, which was printed in special editions of the newspapers, made a deep impression on the public. A special cabinet meeting was held. The heir to the throne, Archduke Charles Francis, has been for some time in Vienna. A meeting of the Hungarian cabinet has been called to. Budapest. Premier Tisza will after wards come to Vienna." What gave some credence to the bus-. picion that Francis Joseph's condition was much graver than the official bul letins indicated was the report, which still Jacks official confirmation, that it had been decided to associate the heir to the throne, Archduke Charles Fran cis, in the government of the country and that the archduke was to assume the position December 2, the 68th an niversary of the emperor's ascension to the throne. Archduke Charles Francis, grand- nephew of Emperor Francis Joseph, became heir to the throne of Austria- Hungary by the assassination of Arch duke Francis Ferdinard, prior to the outbreak of the war. He has been in command of the Austrian armies on various fronts in the past two years. 8 HOUR LAW INVALID Kansas City, Mo. The Adamson eight-hour law was held unconstitu tional here Wednesday by Judge Wil liam C. Hook in the United States dis trict court. An appeal to the Supreme court of the United States will follow quickly in an effort to obtain the ultimate de cision in the case before January 1, when the law is to go into effect Action in the case was precipitated Tuesday when Frank Hagerman, spe cial counsel for the government, filed a motion before Judge Hook, asking im mediate decision in injunction proceed ings brought by Alexsnder New and Henry C. Ferries, ' receivers for the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf railroad. Washington, D. C. An agreement between the railroads and the depart ment of justice to ask the supreme court to pass on the constitutionality of the Adamson act before January 1, when it takes effect, appeared to be near at hand Wednesday. Trade War Outlook is Viewed Seriously by Official Washington Washington, D. C. The prospective European commercial war after the war, viewed with increasing serious ness here, is being watched carefully by American consular officers abroad whose reports and many from other sources are being received regularly at the State department. It became known Wednesday that all available facts are being sent on to Washington, both as to the progress already made in planning the economic struggle and as to expected future developments. Officials here think the American people do not fully realize the possible effects of such post-bellum strife on their huge foreign trade, which has passed the $8,000,000,000 mark an nually. Uncertain as to the future and varying as are all the reports, no doubt is felt here that the country faces a grave econmic danger unless it does all possible first to forestall such a struggle, and secondly to pre pare against it in case present indica tions are borne out. Wilson Elector Indicted. Montgomery, 'Ala. A possibility that President Wilson may lose one of Alabama's 12 electoral voteB developed here when Y. M, Quinn, chosen as a Democratic elector at the November 7 election, was indicted on a charge of embezzling $45,000 from a bank at Russellville. State officials said the indictment alone would not prevent him from serving as an elector, but that he would be disqualified if con victed before the elector meet Court officials expressed doubt that the case would be reached before that date. Spiritualist is Freed. Tacoma. Wash. Proceedings were suspended Wednesday against Mrs. Minnie Perkins, pastor of the Spirit ualist church of Tacoma, charged with fortune-telling, who, two weeks ago, was arrested in her home by detectives and placed in the patrol wagon and taken to the city jail, where she was searched and put in a cell with the other women prisoners. Police Judge Evans said that although Mrs. Perkins might be technically guilty of violat ing the city ordinance, it was through misunderstanding the arrest was made. American Act Questioned. London Washington's refusal to permit the publication of report of American officials on prison camp in Germany was the subject of a question Wednesday in the house of common. Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, replying to the interrogation, said he had some reason to believe that while the United States objected in principle to the publication of such re ports, its consent might be obtained to the publication of individual reports. Wage of 200,000 Steel Men Up. New York United States Steel cor poration Wednesday announced an in crease of 10 per cent in wage of em ploye of it steel and iron companies, effective December 16 next Wage and salary advance In other depart ments of the corporation also will be equitably adjusted. It was said. The increase effects in all about 200,000 employes and probably adds nearly $20,000,000 to the corporation' pay roll. , NEWS ITEMS Of General Interest About Oregon Oregon State Census Fixes ' - Population at 834,515 Persons Salem Oregon's estimated popula tion lor 1916, based upon the school population, is 834,615, as compared with a population of 672,766 shown by the Federal census of 1910.

Mayor Threatens to Sell Bread - at Cost to Break Up Trust Tacoma "A mayor of Cincinnati broke the potato tryst there by ship ping in and selling potatoes at cost. I am going to break the bread trust in Tacoma by the same plan," said May or Fawcett as he sat in his office and explained what three loaveB of bread meant on his desk. He had previously issued a statement denouncing the high cost of bread in Tacoma and announced that he was planning to sell bread at cost in the city hall, if this was nec essary to break local bread prices. 'This big loaf here," said the may or, indicating what is now a 15-cent loaf in size, "weighs 20 ounces. ... I will sell this bread, fresh, at two loaves for 15 cents. That is 40 ounces, while the local bakers offer only 26 ounces for 16 cents. This smaller loaf is a full pound and will . sell for 6 cents. 'Flour is a little more than 4 cents a pound and that is the principal in gredient of bread. A pound of flour will make considerable more than a pound of bread because - the latter is mostly water. It will take less than a cent to make a loaf of bread and cut ting out the delivery cost and selling at cost I can sell it at these .prices. This bread is as good a any made in Tacoma, and is made by one of the cleanest bakeries in the state. 'I will first endeavor' to have the housewives make their own bread to break the prices, and if this does not affect it 1 will begin selling bread at cost from the city hall.

The herd is In the heart of the best dairying district in the county. Under such circumstances the own ers of condemned cattle are paid $26, half by the state and half by the coun ty, while the meat, if passed by the inspector, and the hides, are the prop erty of the owners. , Demand for Eggs I Better.
