CHRISTMAS LOLL
WAR
ED
BY A.
CARNEGIE
WASHINGTON, flee. 11. 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.

(San Francisco Call.)
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.

(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.
It is tho genial privllego and Joy
