Tribune is not responsible for the governor
13ven the Voter will have to admit that Oregon has per
haps the most competent state treasurer and seeretarv of
state it ever had, and that the .state institutions under the
board's control arc most efficiently administered.
AVhere, then, does the inefficiency lie'? Is it in the leg
islature'? Was not the legislature dominated by Senator
J)ay, a man of "rare capacity" for looking after big busi
ness interests? Did not the Oregonian's hand-picked
IWultuoniah delegation comprise the all-important cog in
his steamroller? Did not the legislature pass the famous
midnight resolution to aid the Southern Pacific retain the
forfeited land grant, ratify the eastern Oregon swamp land
steal, and numerous other measures to aid special inter
ests? U the legislature was melucjent, it was because it
favored the program since advocated by the Aroter instead
of the best interests of the people.
Why this constant wail, calamity cry and defamation
from big business and its little organ ? Do not the laws of
Oregon favor legitimate and even some illegitimate busi
ness? There is not a single statute restraining monopoly.
In this, it is inefficient. J3ut there are laws against ehiid
labor and to compel the payment of a minimum living
wage to women. There is regulation of public service cor
porations. There is a blue sky law all measures of pub
lic welfare. These constitute the real grievance of trrcedv
employers and the Oregon system of popular government
'he giving of the people a chance to enact or pass legis
lation is the thorn in the flesh of predatory plutocracy.
Oregon compares very favorably with other states in
the matter of government. Its government is better, freer
from scandal and corruption than that of the majority of
commonwealths. It is far more efficient, far more honest
than it ever was in the "good old days" of the old regime,
when corruption, bribery and scandal ran riot in legis
lative halls. Kven our county and municipal governments
ivorago higher in efficiency than a score of years ago.
Oregon's government is far .from perfect. Popular
?ovorninent is.a process of evolution. (Iradually it will be
simplified and perfected and become more efficient. (Irad
ually, as the legislature proves itself worthy of public con
fidence, law-making will be left to it. It was its betrayal
of the people by legislatures dominated by corporate cor
ruption that created the Oregon system as a corrective
but while the people, jealous of their rights, will not relin
quish them, they do not want to make the laws unless com
pelled to in self-dii'Mise.
If there is any one thing that will force the people to
stay in the law-making business for self-protection, it is
thu big business program championed by the Oregon Voter.
THE TUBANTIA CASE
HP 1 1 Kl?l!l hats been a great to-do raised about the threat
of (lerniaiiy to sink armed merchantmen without
warning. As a matter of fact, the (icrumu submarine pol
icy has betm to sink every ship possible, armed or un
armed, enemy or neutral and usually without warning.
If (lerniaiiy would only confine her submarine activities
to armed enemy ships!
The precedent set by the destruction of the Lusitania
has been strictly adhered to. The destruction of the mag
nificent new Dutch steamer Tulwuitia is the fourth Dutch
liner to meet a similar fate, the steamships Katwyk, Ar
temis and Dandling preceding it. ,
A long list of Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Spanish and
American vesnels adorn the ocean graveyards and iron
crowcti adorn the submarine captains for their "mis
takes." The submarine commanders do not take the trou
ble to ascertain the nationality of their victim before loos
ening the torpedo of death, to say nothing of attempting
to ascertain whether the vessel is armed.
"Shoot first, beat it, and let others do the investigat
ing," seems to be the secret instructions given undersea
commanders. When the wrong ship is sunk, apology is
forthcoming, rop ration and punishment promisud -' and
the submarines continue to fire blindlv at everv shin in
sight.
It is high time that the neutral nations united to de
mand that such practice cease, for, with the discipline
that rules the kaiser k forces, it is absurd to blame the dis
asters on "officers' mistakes." Their constant repetition
stultifies all (icrman promisee and assurances.
The lust of death and destruction seems to have hlinded
Germany to all sense of international obligation and
destroyed all lv of luuuanitv.

,NE thing above all others can
spoil a good cigar. Thatvis
good tobacco, badly cured.
Curing is a matter of time and
time alone. To bring out the full
mellowness of leaf for the OWL
we cure the tobacco an average of
eighteen months.
This means we must carry eigh
teen months' supply of reserve to
bacco on hand, so that every leaf may
be properly cured before we use it.
The value of this reserve stock at
all times exceeds a million dollars.
This is quite a large non-interest-bearing
investment, isn't it?
But think what this million dollar
reserve supply of leaf means to the
smoker.
It means he gets a mild, full
flavored smoke from perfectly cured
leaves when he buys the OWL.
It means that every OWL is
mellow. This million dollar reserve
supply insures uniformly good flavor.
We might almost call the OWL
the "Million Dollar" Cigar. Perhaps
we will.
