This is tho caption of a page layout of Governor "Withy t'oniho in a reoont issue of tho Portland Orogonian, illus trated by views of tho model state farms at tho asylum and penitentiary. Tho fulsome eulogy accompanying the ar ticle is press dope from tho governor's own private secre tary. The article informs us that "Oregon's farmer gover nor" is still a farmer in tho best sense of the word," and it must, bo admitted that tho governor has vorv successfully farmed the people for tho score of years and over that ho has fed at the public crib. The joke of the article is that tho illustrations depict, not tho result of the governor's efforts as a farmer, but the result of four vears of former Governor "West's labors to improve state institutions ignant opposition from the lature. Everything possible to hamper vest was done, his motives assailed, his efforts belittled, and falsehood and calumny heaped upon existing at the institutions bis critics. The result of West's labors are shown in the Oregon ian illustrations to boost Governor AVithvcombe as a friend of the farmer. The largest the asylum, laid out by west. The poultry yards shown were constructed by West, as were tho hog yards. Tho calves are from the dairy herds built up under West. West even'bad to stand newspaper persecution and court prose cution for misappropriation of state funds because he had the convicts make brick, and used the money secured from the sale to increase the sbec of the farms and make the im provements for which the legislature denied funds. It is passing strange that West's handiwork is used to illustrate Withycombe's farming propensities, instead of the latter s own efforts. Photographs of Withycombe's Washington county farm would have been interesting and timely, and so would one of the 0. A. C. barnyard under Withvcombe's regime. Win should our ''farmer gover nor" parade in borrowed plumes? It is the old partisan fetiseh that a republican adminis tration, like the medicine man of old, usurps all the nor mal functions of providence, such as regulating the busi ness of the world, its crops, weather, ware and calamities, and the dunghill when photographed with a republican crovernor becomes the sleek the calamity howl made for farms are now to be exhibited to plume a republican gov ernor, who deserves just as much credit for their condition as does his majesty, the sultan of Sulu. NEUTRALITY ANGERS GERMANS FOLLOW'ING the precedent of all nations, the United States permits the shipment of all merchandise, in cluding war munitions to belligerents. The delivery of these cargoes is at the risk of the belligerents. If the bel ligerents are powerful enough at sea to seize shipments consigned to hostile nations, they have tho right to. If they are not strong enough to, they have no right to expect neutrals to go to war to help them out. Tho shipments of the allies are at the risk of destruc tion by the German submarines, for the kaiser has declared a blockade, and it is no fault of the United States that it is not effective. The shipments of the Germans are at the risk of seizure by the allies, and it is no fault of the United States that the blockade declared against Germany is effective. Yet because the United States does not oblige Germany by stopping shipments, to the allies, or by going to war to force the allies to raise the blockade against Germany, Germans are bitterly hostile toward the United States, and some German-Americans in forgotten their" Americanism as to censure the administra tion for its1 neutrality and even to threaten the use of their rights as Americans at the polls to punish the president for his neutrality. The typical German attitude, so. blinded by partisan ship as to have beclouded reason, is reflected in the Berlin Post, which hopes that the Turtle Bay incident will involve the United States in a war Avith Japan, and concludes as follews: Germany would view such a war with mixed foellngB. Whllo we do not deslro a victory of tho yollow race over tho white, nevertheless America has no claim to the love or renpect of the (iermaus. Wo would bo satis fied to know that this country, which first became a state at an expendi ture of German blood and German energy, should from Its present condi tion of unsympathetic contentment, come to know the bitter necessity of war. Ill other words, because Germany has been foolish enough to follow the will-o'-the-wisp of militarism with its barbarian ideals and plunge JUuropo into a wicked world wide conflagration, Germans want this nation punished because the United States is wise enough to refuse to jump into the fire. The path of the neutral is a difficult one, but notwith standing German clamor, the United States will remain in "its present condition of unsympathetic contentment." As President Wilson so well says: Our wholu duty (or tho present at any rato Is summed up In thls'tnotto, "America first." Let us think of America before wo thfnk of Kuropo, In order that Amorlca may be fit to bo Europe's friend when the day of tested friendship comes, Tbo test ot friendship I not now sympathy with the ono sldo nr tho other, but getting ready to help both sides when tho struggle Is over.

Itanium, the eiri'uc king, had noth ing on Joe Miller as it showman. Which is tho rcaon I am telling this story. There came a limn once, it seems, when Joe better known as Colonel Joseph C. Milk'r, bending the till Katich Wild West show on Zono," at the world's fair here "Tho -was hard put for a ixwr attraction for his cowboy circus, which was then on the road. After laborious deliberation Jon finally conceived the iden of buying an nrtny nnd stnrtling the public with n few true lo life battle scenes, in cluding a couple of massacres and an ambush or two. "What!" exclaimed his astonished manager, "an army! Suffering fishes, where can von buy m annv?" "Waal," drawled Jod in his soft cowboy fashion,. "I reckon I'll go down to Mexico for it. They're a doin' a bit of ivvoliiting down there nnd I reckon I might pick up an army right cheap." So off to the border hiked Joe. Hut firnt ho armed himself wild it letter of credit from the president of the First National bank of llliss, Okla., where tho 101 ranch lias its head quarters, said letter setting forth that Joseph ('. Miller was authorized to draw a eheok for nuv amount lie saw fit nn v amount, mind vou.

"Waal, 1 reckon Hint's my unity, nil right," mused Joe, ns he watched the dust cloud growing smaller in the dis tanec. "I don't much want them peon soldiers, but I would like pow crful well to have their houses and guns. Itcckon I'll talk to the Mexi can consul; ntnybe he can fix it." And the Mexican consul did fix it. Through Consul Fernando Sarrauo at Marfn, Tex., Joseph C. Miller pur chasrd an army, including 1500 head of horses, an uncountable number of guns, 500 burros, great gobs of sail dies, ammunition, scrapes, tatnale re cipes and (piestiouablc rcpiitations everythlng, iu fact, except the sol diers themselves. "And the only rca son I didn't buy them," Miller ex plained, "is because it would a-busted me to cit iinliiraluatiou papers for the whole crowd. "I could bo nrrcstcd for tellin' you how little I paid for that aniiy," con tinued Colonel Milieu.
