Andrew Cnmogic, n white house cnllcr today, expressed decided opposition to n tmeq in tho Europeon. wnr during the Christmns "holidays. ' Ho declared thnt it would bo nn-Christinnlike and immoral to slop the fighting and then begin it again. Ho added that he could not believe thnt any nation which adopted such a suggestion was doing it sincerely. The president was out golfing and Jfr. Cnmcgie said he probably would return to pay hi3 respect". Ho prnis cd Mr. Wilson's efforts in behalf of peace. Illnmcs Military Cnlo Mr. Carnegie gave it as his opinion that tho military ensjo in Gcnnnnv was responsible for the war, but that nt tho timo hostilities broto out tho kaiser was ill and opposed to tho war. Mr. Carnegie said ho hoped that the world would bo so horrified over tho war thnt permanent penco would fol low. Uo said his penco foundation would continuo its work and that he believed ultimately international ar bitration would settle nil disputes. Mr. Carnegio showed interest nt a btiggcstion to him thnt ho might be called upon by tho president to help bring about pence when the time came. "I will do nn thing I possibly can," ho said. "I belicvo Mr. Wilson enrn cbtly dehircs penco nnd the entire community should support him " For tho "men in tho trenches," Mr. Cnmegie expressed the greatest sym pathy. Soldiers Innocent "They had nothing to do with bringing about this terrible conflict," he snid. "All they can do is to obey orders nnd shoot each other down. It is terrible thnt so many widows and orphans arc being made because a few men wanted to go to war. It is terrible thnt all tho scientists and other men of culture in Qennnny nro nhlo to mhisc tho knier, instead of tho small clique of mihtnry. "I don't sco how (his can but bring nbout a great reaction when this wnr js over. I sincerely hope to seo the dny when nations will settle their dif ferences in tho snnio way ns in courts. Q'hero can bo n national po lice forco to enforco tho decisions of the Hague tribunal just ns policemen cufoico tho decisions of courts." FOLLOWINGr PIED PIPER EVIDENTLY we nro to lmvo a stnto administration "personally conrtneied" by the Portland Oregonian. Lair Thompson, "swamp-angel" steersman ol' tlio Ore gonian's legislative maehine of the last session, is to he president oi" the senate. Ben Selling, Oivgonian candidate for United States senator two years ago, 1ms been resur rected to be speaker of the holise. The various committee chairmanships and member ships have been parcelled out tin advance to sU'cug(thon-flic Oregonian's control. "With "i AVithycomlV, Oregohihii governor, to approve the "harmony" program enacted by the Oregnian legislature, there is every reason for .joy in the ranks of tho political plum-seekers and corporation lobbyists. , Probably one of the first moves in the Oregonian's pro gram will be to remove political appointments from the board of control, which the Oregonian docs not own, where they were placed to curtail a democratic governor's power and place them in the hands of the governor. This will give the Oregonian a chance to dictate the appointments, strengthen its grasp on affairs of state and build up a political machine. "With this perfected political machine and the legisla tive favors 'it passes out, the Oregonian hopes to dictate the nomination and election of the next United States senator as well as the next governor. AVho will be its candidate for the senate? "Who but that staunch friend of the peo ple and defender of the Oregon system, its own popular editor-statesman the peerless pied Piper. And who will waltz to his piping towards the governor's chair? Who but the ghost galvanized from the Oregonian's own polit ical graveyard for the occasion Ben Selling! Luredby sweet pie-counter tunes of this pied Piper, the legislators arc apt to meet the same fate that overtook the children who joyously pursued the tabled pied-piper ofrETamelin a fate that has befallen many who in the past have followed pied Piper, to find the earth closing in on them in the Oregonian's political cemetery. ous duty of all to relnx tholr purso Ktrlnps this yortr'for Christmas vws outs Just ns tar ns prurience will allow, RED CROSS STAMP SALEJOMORROW Prosperity Predicted for Poultry Sale of Rod Cross Clit lutmns stninps t h i under the auspices of tho Orenter Moil font club will begin tomorrow.

The poultry business In California and on the Pacific coast In general is about to enter Into nn era of pros- perity such as It has never known in tho past as a result of the European war, according to II. H. Collier of Tncomn, commissioner of poultry of the stato of Washington at tho expo sition, who Is ono of tho judges at tho San Francisco poultry show which opened In the Auditorium today. Tho other judges aro W. M. Coats of Van couver and A. II. Currier of Santa Itosa. Collier said today that foreign na tions at war, particularly France and England, havo taken all tho eggs, both fresh and storage, that tho United States could supply. Dig or ders are pending and only a fow days ago ono cargo of C, 000,000 dozen eggs left Ilonton harbor England bound. "California must depend upon her own products in the future," said Collier. "On tho Pacific wo hao only been rnlslng nbout one-half ot the supply, but in tho futuro we must depend entirely upon our own re sources for poultry product. Tho supply ot tho middle west is wanted In Europe, and California has unlim ited opportunities for n big poultry boom." Tho San Francisco poultry show opened today with over 2000 birds on exhibition. It is the second annual ( show glcn In this city and promises i to bo record breaking. Tho chil dren's department has been partlcu- arly developed at this exhibition.

Perl TjrNDERTAKE Lady AMltuut 9H 8, HAKTLKTT PlHMtM M. 47 Mi 47-Ji JmWhm iirie Dwaty Omtmmt (From the New York Sun) Do not think of cutting down your Christmas presents. Givo freely ac cording to jour means. If your heart Is heavy for tho agonized people of Europo you need not bo frivolous In giving. Dut whether tho giving Is Jooub or in the minor key, thcro never was a Christmas when tho obli gation to givo was more pressing. Tho proposal to cut off Christmas presents grows out of that well mean ing hut mistaken view of life which dwolls so much on tho superficially "practical" aid that Is blind to all tho practical considerations under laving tho mainly graceful or decora ttvo aspects of life. A general con fraction of Christmas present making this year would unquestionably havo far reaching disastrous effects. It would mean to manufacturers and jobbers heavy unsold stock; to How much mora pitiful would It bo if this hope wero defeated. Wise givers will naturally adapt their Christmas remembrances in this troubled year to tho prevailing temper. Utilitarian considerations will be llkclyto guide them to nn usual extent. Dut It Is to bo hoped that tho Inspired trifle will not be entirely dropped out of currency. Tho pretty card with genulno good will behind its conventional wishes, the foolish bit ot finery or unnecessary house ornament that expresses a sym pathetic thought, tho sparkling stono which Is ultra-precious because ot tho sentiment it betokens, will servo not only to warm tho festival of peaco with some ot Its accustomed glow, but further nnd here let tho practical folk take hood the money spent on them, filtering back over tho count er through the channels of trario to the starting place of the toy or Its ma- retailers It would mean shrinkage of .terlals, will help in somo degree, great trade and disappearance of profits; to or little, a long line of anxious cap! the transportation interests It would tallsts and workers, great and small, mean the loss of regular annual busi- to weather hard tlincH ness; to tho wage workers it would mean widcspiead lack of employment. With many out of work In this city at present it is pitiful to think of tho eagerness with which some thous ands of men and women must look forward to tho Christmas flurry as a hopo for earning a fow days' pay.
