The i law, or iiev T--t requires that females between the ai:e of IS and 40 shall work wht-n and at what the Bolsheviki others of this army pat them to do. What does this mean? it means that human slavery has re turned to Russia. It means also that women will be "Nationalised" in the wot st sense if such nationalisation has not already come in that dark and be nighted land. Foretsn Advrtiwns Rcprerttariv THE AMLRKTAN PKfcSS ASSXIXTICN ! Is the "Buying Strike" Over? There are slns that the famous "buiTig strike" which the American public staffed this last spring and sum mer is over. The "buying strike" was universal all over the country and the result was overproduction in many articles and a co:iseQuent drop in prices of from 15 to i0 ptr cent, Supar and clothing are conspicuous examples, although there are many other cases. Having brought goods down consid erably the public is now discovering that it needs many things. The cold weather is approaching. Also the gift irivlng holidays. All these things have their psychological effect and the cities are reporting little business. No doubt this has its reflection in the rural sec tions. We don't think that the people of this country want disorderly deflation with the panic that surely must follow such deflation. We PO think they will take part in more buying of goods, provid ing they are given good values for their money. Looks Dark For the Women in Russia. The nationalization of women in Rus sia is proceeding in one sense if not in the other one that is so horrifying to American and Christian sentiments. William Dittman, the leading Ger man Independent Socialist who went to Moscow this past summer to attend the Bolshevlkf's "Third Internationale" of Socialists, has written a number of ar ticles since his return on the failure of the Soviets, he believing that the truth should be told even though it hurts the theories he stands for. One of the outstanding features of his articles is his account of the con scription of labor. He declares that the Rolshevikls have thrown aside all pre tense that the workers and peasants rule. They now make the workers SERVE and would make the soil-working peasants serve if they were power ful enough. The city workers can no Bryan's Insult. Is Bryan also an Irreconcilable? Has he joined the battalion of death? Incidentally, was his suggestion that the president resign a worthy thing to come from a man whom so many dem ocrats have so long followed and who has been thrice honored by them with nominations for the presidency? Wasn't it enough for Mr. Bryan be cause he couldn't run the San Francisco convention, to remain grandiloquently aloof and self-importantly silent dur ing the late campaign, without adding to that a cruel and deliberate insult to President Wilson? Bryan has drifted from his moorings. With his arbitration treaties and by all his protestations, he was until recently a professed hater of war. But when in the late campaign ha had a chance to support a plan that would prevent war, he flew the track. Mr. Bryan was for years a vociferous advocate of progressive government. But when, in the late campaign, the , very life of progressivlsm was at stake ; on the choice for the presidency, Mr. Bryan was as dumb as an oyster and . as unconcerned as If he had never ; heard of progressivlsm. Oregon Jour- 1 nal 1 But was Mr. Bryan's suggestion an insult? It seems to us that his con clusions are based on logic. The people I of the United States have felt for a long time that the true condition of I President Wilson's health has been withheld from them. That his condi ' tion Is worse than is generally known, j has been gathered from the very na J ture of his official incapacity. Deschanel became a sick man and he I forthwith resigned as President of the : Republic of France. He put country above private ambitions. Tet we do not expect President Wil son to resign, although the country voted overwhelmingly against his pol icies and his administration. Mr. Bry an may have a personal grudge, but the logic of his statement concerning the resignation of President Wilson cannot be disputed. Is our moral code slipping? Cases of the nature on trial in our local court this wt'ok is cause for one to stop and ponder. The woman pays. Its a de plorable fact that mrls of young and tender ears, also must pay. Livestock Show. (Portland Teles ram.) When American soil was cheap and pU r.t of pasture ran to w uste, the breed of a dairy cow and her perfor mance at the pail were not urgent questions. If a cow save but half enough milk, the iaimer kept two cows and so made up the deficit. In those da s mongrel herds of scrub quality stocked the land. Today humanity is eating out of the same manger w ith the cow. Oats and bran, corn and barley, are breakfast foods at fancy prices. Bread is made of them. The land on which cow fod der grows is wanted to grow wheat Hour and potatoes for the dinner table. How much milk and butterfat a cow returns for a given amount of food has now become a prime factor in the cost of living. Wise farmers in this Pacific North west long ago discovered that pure bred dairy cows pay more for their board than scrubs; that beef breeds make more and better beef from a given ration; that horses of high breed ing do more work., look better and sell better than those carelessly bred, and that mutton and pork quality and pro fits are all in favor of pure bred stock. As a result of this theory and prac tice of stock farming in this Northwest, Portland, on November 13, will open the j doors of the greatest livestock exposi ' tion ever held on the Pacific Coast, if not the greatest in America, Housed In a half-million-dollar pavilion cover ! ing six acres, with two additional acres of temporary shelter, livestock from regions as far as Alebrta, British Co lumbia, Montana, Utah, Colorado, New i Mexico, and California will compete ,with stock of Washington nnd Oregon, j This Pacific International Livestock j exposition is more than a show. It is ! a livestock university, a school for stock farmers that offers the best pos I sible advantages for the study of fine and profitable stock. Fifty Oregon breeders of Jerseys will show animals I from their herds. More than 330 Jer i seys will be on exhibition; 300 Short horns, 200 Herefords, 200 Holsteins, 30 Guernsey herds, 6 Angus and 8 Ayr shire herds will be shown. Horses, sheep, swine and goats will be in pro portionate representation, j The magnitude of this exhibit Is bet 1 ter understood when it is known that j at the last National Dairy show at Chi ' cago but 534 dairy animals or all breeds j were shown, while here there will be j 850 animals in the dairy section alone, beside the beef steers. I At the last National Jersey show, held at Shreveport, La., but 255 animals ; were shown, while here there will be a tolal of 336 pure bred Jerseys on ex hibit Nc Western farmer materially Inter j PKted In livestock can afford to miss this unusual opportunity for the study of the profitable breed of the world. If 4 if I V Cr. : ami no ninn with normal desire for In formation and entertainment can afford to pass this by. Slat' Dary.

The united States Government owesi in round numbers twenty-four billions of dollars. It pays out in Interest charges on this debt about a billion dollars a year. The United States Government has got to begin to get itself rapidly out of debt or the people of the United new Government business managers. States are going to keep on hunting, for To pay oft Its debt or to niet other charges against it the Uovernment cant make money like a steel corpo ration or a railroad or a business house, t'lthor it must pay off the debt by rais ing more revenues, taxing the public j more heavily, or it must take the rev- enues it has and Instead of spending them in other ways use them to clear 1 the debt. It the United States Govern- ! ment does not thus get Itself out of : debt by the practice of rigid economies instead of with heavier levies of taxes the American public 'will be forced from the frying pay into the Are. When the Uovernment cuta Its debt it makes a double saving tor Itself ana it makes a double saving tor the pub lic. The Government saves doubly, be cause every time It slices something off the principal It lessens the amount of interest It has to pay and the remain ing principal, and again because as the Government's debt grows less the Gov ernment's credit grows stronger. As the Government's credit grows strong er it can borrow at a lower Interest rate for refunding and other purposes. The people save doubly, because less money Is taken out of them In direct taxes paid into the Treasury and again because less money is taken out of them Indirectly by high living costs which result from high taxes. The Government spending., the Gov ernment debt and the Government taxes can be and must be slashed all to gether. New Tork Herald. FORMER UEPP.NER tilHL MARRIES.
