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.

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-

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.

Our Colossal Annual Interest
Bill.
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.
