1913 WOOL GUP me
OVER BY UNITED STATES
Government Will Buy All of This
Years Raw Wool And What
Is I'nsold of Iff 17.
The Government has decided U.
take over all raw wool now held in
warehouses at the price prevailing
on June 30 last. If holders do not
agree to sell it at that price the wool
will he oonun indeered. The wool
prices in Oregon on June 30. 1917
were as follows.
Willamette Valley coarse, 5S to
60c a pound; medium 60 to 65c.
Kastern Oregon fine, 50 to 60c; coarse
55 to 60c. It is not certain that tliesi
are the prices the Gorenment will
pay for Oregon .wool. We publish
them to give an tdi-a of w hat was ac
tually paid in tlie state at that time.
There is considerable difference in
quoations here and In other wool
producing states, and the govern
ment is expected to arrite at a com
promise that is fair to everybody
concerned.
This action of the government is
probably the result of a conference
of members of the National Wool
Grower's Asociatlon and the price
fixing committee of the w ar industries
board. It will put an immediate stop
to selling wool of either the 1917 or
1913 clips.

Vawter Crawford of the Gazette
Times made a business trip to Lex
ington Tuesday.
Since the day of the caveman, who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po
tatoes as they come from the ground,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri
can Tobacco Co. that tobacco tastes
better TOASTEDI
This wonderful new idea simple
like all great inventions was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette made of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to
bacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste like a pipe.

"The object of this war is to deliver
the free peoples of the world from Vf
menace and the actual power of a vast
military establishment controlled by an
Irresponsible government, which, having
secretly planned to dominate the wor'd
proceeded to carry out the plan without
regard either to the sacred obligations
of treaty or the long-established prac
tices and long-cherished principles ot in
ternational action and honor; . . , This
power is not the German people. It Is
the ruthless master of the German peo
ple It Is our business to see tc
it that the history of the rest of the
world Is no longer left to its handling."
President Wilson, August 27, 1917,
DEMOCRACY VERSUS AUTOCRACY
It Is commonly said that this wat
is one in which America was forced
to take part in order to "make the
world safe for democracy." What
does the phrase mean?
The theories and acts of the Ger
man military autocracy definitely deny
the right of the people of a Btate to
rule themselves. The German people,
in spite of forms of government thai
make a pretense of popular control,
have no such actual control over their
governors as exists in democraticall)
organized nations. In those nations
the governors con be removed by a
vote of the people in a general elec
tion; in Germany the people have nol
this power.
The aristocracy of Germany under
stand this difference, and are afraid
of the spread of democracy In (ler
many. The whole, much-admired "effi
ciency" of Germany is primarily due
to a desperate and constant effort by
Germany's rulers to divert the German
people from thoughts of self govern
ment, by offering them material pros
perlty. And the rulers have sue
ceeded. One of the causes of this
war was the necessity, by still fur
ther "glorious acquisitions of terri
tory," to hush the murmurings of
political discontent in Germany. Vic
tory In war. every so often, is a nec
essity of the German system. "It Is
for socio! as much as for national
and political reasons that we must
fix our minds incessantly upon war.'
"Success is necessary to gain lnfiu
ence over the masses," wrote Bern
hardi; and General Von Bissing, Just
before his death, wrote a ' Political
Testament," since largely circulated in
Germany, in which he argued for the
retention of Belgium, because, unlesi
it were annexed, the prestiye of the
military autocracy would receive a
fatal blow.
Are we are the Allies then fight
ing to impose upon Germany a dlf
ferent system; is that the meaning of
"making the world safe for democracy?"
Elihu Root says that American
democratic Ideals include "liberty not
for themselves alone but fur all who
are oppressed " Lloyd George asserts
that if all countries had been demo
cratically organized, this war would
not have taken place; that this war
will determine not merely interna
tional relations, but will affect the
lives of peoples within their oicn na
Hons, for generations to come; that
his war Is to end In 'Internationa!
democracy." i. e., in liberty, equal
ity, anil fraternity, hetv-c-n nations
treat and small. Genera! ?nints. for
nf'iiy a soldier aninst (ireat Urilalr
n South Africa, says that the essenc.
if this war is the nucs'.ion whethet
;overnnir-nts should be founded on
nlll'ary n.ight or on "prlnclplns of
qtiity, justice, fairness n:- penality.'
Various writers have (U'pictert Ihb
var as a tent of democracy. In dc
'envilue whether democracy can ad
'list ltwlf to an cmcrseiM-." .;o that !):
heer efficiency it shall at l";ast equal
the efficiency of a military autocracy,
and assert that on this ground alone
he future government of nil the na
tions of the world is at stake. Will
"rooks, the British labor leader, says
his war "la a people's war. We are all
in it, the man at the village pump and
in the fields, the blacksmith, the car
penter and joiner, the shipwright, and
he man of leisure. We are standing
together because we arc flglitina for
liberty."
Yea, this war Is one jn which Ideals
of government, of individual liberty
of civilization Itself are in conflict.
Democracy is lined up against autoc
racy. The war is In absolute fact a
war of Ideals. But we are not fiRht
ing to impose our Ideals upon any
nation. What we are fighting for.
in "making the world safe for democ
racy," Is to prevent a military autoc
racy from imposing its authority and
its ideals upon us. We are ready to
keep on minding our own business
and to let other nations do the same
A military autocracy that proposes
to conquer the world want be de
feated, to the point, where It renounces
meddling with other nations, great or
small, or there is no peace in the
world. That Is the issue at stake,
and in It rests our' safety and the
safety of the world.

articles by Professor Adams.
