Government regulation eaaily runs to excess, and governmental regula tion when excessive invariably be comes oppressive. From matters pure ly governmental we bavo drifted rap Idly to regulation of public utilities, and even more rapidly to control of social and economic activities in all their phases. Wholesome restraint of illegal activities cannot be condemn ed. But the incessant legislative tin kering with the ordinary affairs of trade and ,the endless supervision and meddling by bureaus and" their bureaucrats, departments and their officers, statisticians, inspectors, com missions and commissioners, with the business of the country Is constantly increasing the burdens of the Ameri can business man, and correspond ingly decreasing his efficiency. In prompting commercial prosperity no "satisfactory substitute has been found for the spirit of competition and the free expression of individual initia tive and ambition. Their value is too often Ignored by our statesmen, poli ticians and economist. Nothing so certainly leads to mediocrity as the subjection of all Individual effort to a governmental rule of thumb and the resulting limitation on the results of individual enterprise. One phase of these tendencies is seen in the voluminous and growing legislation for the regulation of the manufacture of petroleum products and the establishment of specifica tions, etc., for their production and 'sale. It may be conceded' that there is as much, indeed more, sound rea son for regulating the quality of pe troleum products as there is for legis lating about the size of bird-cages or the length of bed-sheets. But that does not establish the soundness of either extreme In legislation. In the Pacific Coast states, in vari ous counties, and even in different municipalities, the law and ordinance makers, are taking it upon themselves to prescribe different specifications, minimum and maximum gravities, varying flash-points and purities for gasoline, lubricants and other pro ducts. That the producer, or manufac turer will strive to furnish the pub lic what it wants, and that the con sumer better knows what he wants than the man who makes laws about it, appears to be overlooked. A bill now pending in the legisla-. ture of California specifies a gravity for gasoline under which sales of that product could not be made excopt at prohibitive prices. No doubt the Leg islature will so amend the bill as to make It workable. In a southern city .in this state a recent ordinance was so burdensome in its effect as . to greatly increase the cost of petrole um products to the consumer. The ordinance vas rescinded. The Nor thern Pacific Coast states have from time to time proposed legal require ments for petroleum products which would be illegal in neighboring states. There is no question that the standardization of petroleum prod ucts would bo useful if intelligently carried out and universally applied. The United Stated Fuel Administra tion recently published a bulletin en titled "Report of Committee on Stand ardization of Petroleum Specifica tion!;." It contains tho Federal Gov ernment specifications, adopted on tho recomendation of a group of able oil men. A Federal standard for petrole um products would commend Itself to tho oil business of tho country. It should recoive tho most careful consideration of our lawmakers, state and local. Otherwise, and with each community making its own rogula- , tlons on the subject, Borne good, s.orao bad, none consistent with tho other, tbo industry would bo far hotter off if left,. alone and frco of tho burden of bungling laws. There are 400,000 little orphans, hungry and cold and dazed by tho horrible atrocities and massacres thoy havo witnessed, over thero In tho ancient Bible Lands. Wherever tho Turk has gone ho has left this trail, U Is a long way off, but not so far but that Amerlcnn men, wo men and children can reach out helping hand. Oregon's quota of thd relief fund Is $1S4,000, and every til mo n'nd dollar will menu . food, warmth and comfort for these hap loss little- ones. Out of our nbundanco lot us glvo generously. Libelling rcspeotnblo people Is one thing but -proving it boyotul n roasoli able doubt to tho satisfaction of twelve men good and truo is quite another.

"Though much saddened, our workers arc cut ting off whom they must, and continuing with those selected, principally children. All arc mak ing winter plans and asking, pleading, for funds now to buy what will cost many times more later on. Can you not cable us that the promised ap propriations arc certain until the end of June 1919. Such action would double the value of the gift. We must not let go now." t The Committee for Relief in the Near East is doing its utmost to sustain these peoples. Pov erty stricken, plague infested, war terrorized Near East, the cradle of the white man's civiliza tion, is perishing. It is perishing because of the faith that is in it. Only the help of an aroused American generosity can prevent this. It is hard at a distance of thousands of miles for Average American Citizens to grasp the need.' lolerant, Helpful, Kindly, Generous America would never permit relief workers to sign death warrants for thousands of persons, did it but realize the situation. That is exactly what hap pens nvhen the workers in the Near East are forced from lack of funds to "cut off whom they must." More than 4,000,000 people are destitute, of this number 400,000 are orphans, orphans be cause they were innocently caught in the net of the great war. These starving peoples live in-the "fester" spot of Europe and Asia. America entered the war that autocracy mipht he crushed from the earth. We are forever bound to Europe because the blood of our sons is mingjed with European soil. We must carry on in their names, we must carry on or their supreme sacrifice will have been in vain. France, Belgium, Italy can all be helped by governmental aid. but the dying Christians of the Near East have no government through which governmental aid can be given them. The task is America's. Liberty, equality, freedom of speech, freedom of worship, all of these America has given to the world. Slowly the other; nations of the world are accepting our ideals. Now we arc challenged practically to advance the Broth erhood of Man as taught by the "Man of Sor rows" 1900 years ago. The people of His land by the faith He gave them ask for bread. What shall America give them ? a 110 WATERSHED COATS Glendenning has them foy, ladles or gentlemen, tho quality oC, which are unsurpassed at a irlcb lower than can elsewhero bo obtained. - HEMSTITCHING Done by Mrs. J.
