Portland has passed an ordinance providing for a uniform wage for unskilled labor on city work of $3 per day and a daily newspaper paints a roseate picture of the happy lot of the men fortunate enough to work for the city and draw the high pay. How about the unskilled workman not in the city's employ, who must pay an increased price for city im provements and whose tax will be in creased in order that a select few may enjoy the advantage, of short hours and big pay. llillsboro Independent. Advertising Will Pay You If You Use The G.-T. NO Sl;. OF I'K.U'K. The situation in Europe gives no signs of such exhaustion on either side as holds within It a prospect of peace in the near future. When the war began and the kai ser made his rush west, his thought evidently was to reach and capture Paris before France could gather her forces to meet him, and then to turn to the coast and assail England when totally unprepared on land to meet him. But the unexpected check that he received in Belgium dislocated his plans, while the British fleet kept guard on England's coasts. Another disappointment was the Bwiftness with which Russia hurled a mighty army on Germany's eastern frontier and the successes of the Russians ov er the Austria-Hungarian armies, compelling Germany to send an army that way. For months the battling has been on those two frontiers, and it has been almost continuous. Up to date the kaiser has been unable to break through the allies' defenses, but the allies have been unable to hurl back the Invaders. In the mean time men have been dying by hun dreds of thousands. Austria-Hungary seem9 to be pretty well whipped and doubtless would be glad to quit, for she has close at home a fierce euemy in Ser via and Roumania seems anxious to join Servia. Then Great Britain will soon have a fresh army of one million soldiers, and while there is no news from Rus sia, it is natural to suppose that she will have double that number of fresh troops in the field in the early spring. Then while the Germans have made some individual successes on the sea, her fleet, on which she so much depended, remains bottled in the Baltic and cannot move out with out facing a superior British fleet. Then while thirty-five large Ger man and Austrian ships are laid up in our harbors, not daring to go to sea, British and Frencti ships are go ing and coming daily because the At lantic is patroled by British and French war ships. We look to see Germany make some desperate effort to hew a path through to the coast on the west and to crush the armies assailing her on the east, for she knows that with the opening of spring she will be assail ed by fresh armies that will rush upon her with instruments of de struction equal to her best. But suppose she is beaten back up on her own territory, what then? The allies will have to assume the offensive and Germany is covered with fortresses as strong as military science can make them. If, Germany with her magnificent army made such slow progress thru Belgium, how long, with Germany on the defensive, will it require for the allies from either direction to reach Berlin? The manner with which Germany has supplied her ar mies so far from their base has been most wonderful. Could the allies do the same and fight offensive battles every day? And what of the two main fleets! When is their trial to come? To U3 there is not a rift in the clouds of war that canopy Europe; not a sign that peace is anywhere near. Goodwin's Weekly.'
