THE WAR Vnw! tliuf u-r.r Viu4 h(n clc. dam) there is hut one thing forcan market aTld is now uoted in America to do and that id "put Portland at $8.85, and yet the it through" to a swift and de tiaive conclusion. The sentiment of the Ameri can people has been overwhelm ingly against entering into the world conflict but now that we are in we can do no less than to present the solid front of a unit ed people to the foe. The foe, bv the wav. is not the common people of Germany; it is the only a few days ago by a gon rnenacc of Gorman militarism j tleman whose business takes him which must and will be banished through the beet sugar districts from the earth.

Such condi Gcrmany will suffer from all theitions, then, indicate that vigor horrors of war as will thecom-jous action, on the part of the mon people of this country but! government is absolutely esscn it cannot be truthfully said that tial to the well being of the na- the war is the result of the hat red of the peoble of any one country against the people of any other country. The Euro pean war is, essentially a ruler's war, brought about for their own devilishly selfish purpose all that the peoplu have to do with it is to suffer and die and pay the taxes. Our government has striven tor months to keep out of the war but it has finally lxen forced upon us. Until war was finally declared every citizen, every representa tive of the people, had the con stitutional right to urge his sen timents whether they wore for or against war but now that lines art drawn, we should present an undivided front. The present is no time to further talk pacifi cism, neither is it any longer the tim to further abuse and malign the pacificints. Let every loyal American forget the past and, unitedly, "go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart." THE REGULATION OK FOOD PRICES One of the most important an nouncements coming from Wash ington since the declaration of war is that rigid measures are to be adopted immediately to pro-ttn-t the civilian imputation of (ho country from the elnrtion of food speculators.

Only a few weeks ago when potatoes reached the out rageous retail price of 5 cents a ; pound in New York the same 'American potatoes were selling in London for less than one-half . that price. ; On the clay following the dec j laration of war last week sugar i took the phenomenal jump of 75 : cents per hundred on the Ameri- statement has been frequently made during the past winter and, so far as the writer is informed, it has not been seriously contra dicted, that beet sugar is being produced in Idaho at a cost that would permit of it being shipped to Portland and sold at a slight profit at around 2.50 per hun- dred.

Men who. in a time of nation al peril like the present, will con spire to extort unholy profits from the toilers of the nation, who are bearing and who will bear the burden of the war, are not crood citizens. Their acta are more treasonable than are the acts of the misled hyphenate or the mouthing of the unbalanQ ed agitator. The plain people of the coun try are standing behind the gov ernment in its hour of need and they have the right to expect their government will stand squarely behind them on the question of adequate supplies of necessities at reasonable prices.

M1TCHEL During the presidency of Dia of the republic of Mexico I went there with a stork ot goods and opened a store In the state of Dtirango. For awhile I did rery well. Mexico had long been at ixnce with bereelf, foreign capital had come In to develop the country, aud It looked as though her prosperity would continue. The first wreck of my hopes was tho revolution that displaced Diaz and placed Madero at the head of he Mcxl enn government. Rut this was nothing to the accession of Huerta and the tur moil din ing bis administration and fall. The Mexican people, especially those w ho supported Huerta, believing that their troubles came largely from the re fusal of the United States government to recognize him as president of Mexico, turned more bitter than ever against Americans. I bad made a number of friends among Mexicans aud was permitted to continue my busiuess without molesta tion. This was all very well so long as I remained in the location of my home and business. Hut 1 was fond ot sketchlug, and I intended as soon as I could get out ot Mexico with my capital to go north nud study art. The Sierra Madrs mountains are not far from my borne, and I desired to take as many sketches br possible away with me of the Due landtn-apea there. Ouo evening after sketching during tho day I went to a bouse devoted to the entertainment ot strangers to pass (tie night. Tho place corresponded to the old American tavern of former days. It was not especially clean, and the persons it contained were of a low grade. About 10 o'clock at night I was sit ting In the dining room reading a news paper. 1 bad gono thcro for tho pur pose, since a lamp swung over the ta ble gave tho only light that enabled mo (o rend comfortably. I was seated di rectly uuder it, with my back to an omu door, when, beating n faint creak of a floor board in my rear, I raised my eyes from my paper. They lighted on a shadow cast on a wall before inc. The shadow was not cast by the light over my head, but by one back of the object that produced It. It was not very dis- tlnnt. hlif aiifltrlonflv an fnf ma til rUu. OiMttlult It i.. . , . ... -iu.,.. v. 4.110 ueeu wveriUK whs tntiiity h som brero.
