DO AS 1 SAY OK I QUIT
The coal situation in the United States to
day is rapidly becoming alarming, it is im-
possible to secure mine labor. The car situa
tion is becoming acute and of nation wide scope
with no immediate relief in «sight. Due to the
long, hard winter, coal stocks of both commer
cial consumers and industrial users are depleted.
The-situation is most unusual.
Freight rates advance soon

What would you say to the man who was working for you if he came
to you and said, “you've got to do this my way or I quit?’’ Chances are
ten to one he would quit, or get fired. For if he got away with such a
threat, he, not you, would be the boss from then on
The same thing, practically, happened with "Hiram” the “rule or
ruin” senator from California. Things Lad to go his way or he would
quit the party. Good. If that’s his caliber we hope he does quit. The
man who can't stand defeat and stand it gracefully, we don't want him in
the camp. He's a disgrace to the párty.
William Randolph Hearst, the gentleman who was described as being
pro-German during the war in seme of the leading publications of the
country, and by the way before we forget it, the German population of
Oregon was 100 percent for Johnson; this Hearst chap calls upon the peo
ple to create a new political iudependence.
Hearst is a Californian, consequently is a strong Johnson man, and
it seems as though they can’t stand defeat.although Johnson pledged him-
self to support the man the convention in Chicago nominated except Wood
or Lowden. Neither were nominated and Johnson is a slacker if he does
not support the man of the parties choice. But, Hearst and Johnson are of
the “rule or ruin policy.” If they can’t rule, they will ruin.
They might have done some real damage to the party had they not
been so well known, but the people have their pedegree, and know their
brand, and both are fast proving to be “outlaws” of the wildest sort.

“NATION’S GREATEST MENACE”
Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas told the National Association of Credit
Men at Atlantic City, that the industrial problem was the most menacing
of all the nation’s troubles.
"Today the question of foreign relations is forgotten, but our domes
tic relations problem. Is the vital question of the hour,” he said. “Prof-
iteering by capital and labor and the fights between them have piled the
cost of living to such a height as to minimize the cost of the war. The
constant quarrel between capital and labor is the “only fight still on.
Laws have been passed stopping duelling and fist fighting. but the states-
men of this country have not had the courage to end the war between
capital and labor.

I'LL SAY SO
Tobacco is a filthy weed—
I like it.
It satisfies no normal need—
I like it.
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It takes the hair right off your bean,
It’s the worst damn stuff I’ve ever seen—
I like it.

THE HIGH SCHOOL MOVIE
By CARTER GLASS, Former Secretary of the Treasury.
WHILE our present stock
lasts at $1.50 and $2.50. •
This is from 50 cents to $1.00
under present values.
I am heartily in favor of a budget system. With
out effective control over governmental expenditures
and limitation of them to the government’s income we
shall bring down upon our heads the splendid structure
which our fathers have built and which we have pre
served.
The very success (which you will pardon me if 1
call brilliant) with which the treasury has financed the
stupendous requirements imposed upon America by. the
great war may become a menace. All sense of values
seems to have departed from among us. The depart
ments, bureaus'and boards, all inspired by a laudable enthusiasm for their
. work, but some by a less laudable instinct to magnify its importance and
incidentally their own, bombard the committees of congress with projects,
some more or less meritorious, some of no merit whatever, but all con
ceived in sublime indifference to the fact that the great business of gov
ernment is being run at a loss and that each one of these projects increases,
the deficit of the government, and consequently the burden to be thrown,
upon the great body of people, whether the deficit be met by increasing
i taxes or by floating additional loans.
The congress votes with a lavish hand stupendous sums conceived in
a magnificent spirit of generosity with a view to the enhancement of the
| prestige of the nation, or for the benefit of this or that element in the
: community. This it does upon the advice of the committee of congress
charged with the business of caring for such special interests. Then,
speaking through the great committee on appropriations, it purstes a
policy of restriction with relation to the.expenditures of some of the de
partments of the government which makes it impossible for those depart
ments to conduct the vast affairs imposed upon them with efficiency and
economy.

WHY A FUSS OVER ROSES
Baptist Church
Portland is having a rose festival
this week. One might ask what’s
it all about anyway. The rose has
no intrinsic value. You can’t eat
it or make anything out of it. All
you can do is to look at and smell
it. In short it is simply to gratify
one’s taste for the beautiful. Is
that much. Yes. it is a good deal,
people do well to be- surrounded by
everything that is beautiful in na
ture. and to strew the pathway of
life with Just as many flowers as
possible. There is more in life than
eating and much more than dress.
There is an aesthetic side to our
character which we do well to cul-
tivate. and the world is in pretty
good business when It spends mil-
lions just to gratify our love for the
beautiful, What a dull old life this
would be if our walla were barren.
our yards dried up patches and
thistles took the place of roses and
lilies. A love for the beautiful
ought to be planted in the hearts
of everybody and we do Well when
we have those things which should
help promote a higher taste for the
pretty in nature and art.—Selected.
