RKGON'S governor is
v rann."
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. The bails of neutrality, Is not Indifference; It i
not self Interest Tho busls of neutrality Is sympathy for mankind; It Is
fairness, It Is good will at bottom. It Is Impartiality of spirit and judg
ment,

SAN I-'HANCISCO, Cnl., May 1.
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

llitcrttt'4 annjes (fiOOO strong) till
appealing oxer the hill, accompanied
bv a couple of regiments of Inc
Sam's soldiers, who were hording said
army up to the detention camp at
Presidio, Tex.
"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. Since that
sold cuoukIi bosses to the Cnitci
Slates triivcrnmcnt to pay for the
whole business and still bad enough
left to have staged un imitation of the
