TAfiFi RTX MKOFOIfD MATL TRTP.UNK. MEDFORD, ORKOOX. TPF-SI AY, OCTOBER 17. mir, EUROPE FACES (Continued From Vanu Olio). tlclit of nny mm of llii'i-i' nations is rcjuulintrtl, so si'iisitivi- himI so close ly iitti't'wovi'ii art tlie rcliili.nih of ciiiiiiiicri'o lliat liusiiii'ss in nil pails of tin -world could not csciipu n solar plexus lilow. No tin I inn could repu diate without spreading repudiation everywhere. Sillliilion llelhnle. The situation is far too delicate and too full of dimmer for anything of that kind. In (lie ease of a country like Krnncc it is iinpossihlc, hcennse France's delit and its government alike hcing owned by its plain people, they would not Vote losses upon themselves. .Most men hope it will he ns impossible else where, knowing that it would he like chaos come, again. Hut if Home of these nations don't repudiate, they are thrown hack again upon the other horn. They must raise the vast sums reiiiired by their stag gering interest charges and their be wildering pension bills, and Ihcv have been killing off or crinoliug millions of the producers whose toil alone can dig up the revenue, l'lainly, to try to pile lip' the taxes under the old system wouldn't raise the revenue, and it would drive society hack to savagery. lint meanwhile, almost unnoticed, a profound mid memorable change is steadily coming over the world's bus iness methods, and this change gives optimists their hope that the war will end without blowing everything sky ward. (Government in Ititsincss. The government is going into busi ness. It in beginning to realize the possibilities of business profits. With such profits it can pay the war debt interest and obligations, and in no other way. The government n' ft rent Britain, for instance: It now owns or controls and oper ates 40-1(1 fuetoriis that on August 4, 1IM-I, were wholly in private hands. . In one considerable town near the Scottish border it operates every in dusl rv the place possesses. It has taken over control of the llritish railroad svslem. It has lakcu over the entire indigo business, wool crop, hay crop, Icnthoi' supply, gasoline supply it has taken over the ImsinesH of refrigerating meat shipments. HiiNlnosN Acquired. It has begun on a great scheme for land purchase. It has made u start to lake over part of the food supplies; it is consid ering u vust imperial sugar industry; it is being urged to go into the wheat business and the baron business. It has made an extraordinarv ar rangement with Australia to handle nine-tenths of, the British zinc busi ness, now mid after the war; it has become a. huge manufacturer, a hrewer, ail nuetpialleil carrier and a gigantic t radc sman. 'file "ovcramcnt of Australia has gone definitely into the stiunship business. It has bought fifteen steam ships, it is operating in general com merce and is about to lease '2(H). 0110 Ions more of shipping to extend its lines. It has begun to take over food supplies. II will soon begin to han dle Australia's zinc output. The "overninciit of New Zealand long an industrious trader on its own account, is planning n steamship line like that of Australia. What Neutrals Are Isilug. I lie government 01 t auaiia lias n commission to consider the govern incut ownership of all of the rest of Canada's railroads. The government of Holland has formed nil enormous commercial and shipping enterprise called the Over spas trust. II has practically taken over the potato business. The government of Switzerland has established u trading institution like that of Holland; has taken over the sugar business and is contemplating other enterprises. II makes no difference whether we like these evolutions or abhor them there they are. They have come lie- cause the nations are absolutely driven to them ! Hut take good note of this, for it is the biggest fact of all: If the gov eminent of (treat Britain, say, owned all the enterprises it now controls and operates, and if it derived from them their normal profit above the purchase price, it could meet all the interest ( barges on its war debt and nil its other obligations und never turn a hair. Sober-minded British economists, through figures and conclusions avail able in hooks, seem to show that the evolution of government into business lias come in good time unit come to stay. ALLIED TROOPS IN GREECE AUDIENCE WEEPS (Continued from Page One). and trenches on a front of one and u (punter miles were taken by the Aus- tro-Orrniiin forces. Nineteen hun dred prisoners and ten machine gnus were captured.. Attacks of the allios yesterday near Gueudocourt, on the Soinnie front, broke down under the (iermini fire, the (Ionium war office announces. The Ucruuin positions on both sides of the Soinnie were under heavy artillery fire the whole day. (Kroui I. ho I'ortloud Oregoultiii) M'.MINNVII.I.E, Ore., Oct. 13. Mrs. K. II. Hanlcy, of Medford, no Hllrred an audience of fully 4 00 women hero today with an atldruwi on Charles Kvuns I Inches, American rights and the protection of Ameri can citizens In whatever land they may ho, that when Bhe finished they Crowded around her and urged her to repeat her messago to other women through the state. A remarkatilo scene followed tho presentation to Mrs. Ilanley of a 1)0 (liiet and an American flag by W. II. Denis, of Carlton, after the conclusion of her speech. Mrs. Ilanley burst Into tears. Vir tually the entire audience, still tingl ing with her appeal to kindle anew the fires of American patriotism and uphold the rights and honor of the American people, wept with her. Stopped l'y Tones State Senator W. T. Vinton, who was on the platform, tried to speak, but could not. Tears were running down his cheeks. The tension wus broken when a motherly woman put her arms nliout Mrs. Iliinloy and kissed her. ' "God bless you, my dear, and help you to tell tho othor women In Oregon what you huvu told us " she said. After that, with a groat fluttering of handkerchiefs, the whole audience crowded around Mrs. Ilanley. The women took her In their arms and kissed her, nnd many of them re peated the blessing and asked her to tell her message through the state. It was the most unusual demon stration ever accorded a political speaker in McMiunvillo. Tonight Mrs. Hnnley's speech and tho tremendous Impression It mado are the talk, not alone of this town, hut of other cities round about, whence delegations of from two to DO persons had conio to hear her speak. It wuh tho fourth public address Mrs. Hanloy had ever made In her life, but she stepped right Into the hearts of her audlenco with her first words. Holding Ifcmii IVst.s "I am not a public spcakor, 1 just talk to people, and when I do thill I want to bo right down among you where I belong. "I am just a little country orchurd Ist from Medford," she continued. "There I have to keep pretty busy holding down the pests, the wooly apbts, tho codlin moth, the scale and other pests. Now wo have another pest, tho democratltc pest, and I have found It to he Just a new form of blight that must be treated like any other blight. And the best treat ment I knpw for it Is to cut It out with the sharp, clean, aseptic knife of Charles Evans Hughes." Mrs. Ilanley said she thought that one of the big needs of the nation just now was plain horse sense. "It Is more needed In this campaign than anything else," she said. "All we need to combat the hysterical hulla baloo wo have been hearing ahout 'lie kept us out of war,' this appeal to our sentimental side, is a little horse sense in considering the question." BY GRAND JURY The grand jury was convened Mon day morning and after considering four criminal cases, which comprised i ho docket, were discharged Monday afternoon. not true hill was returned in the case of W illiam Foster charged with a ulatutory crime. True bills were returned against Kichard Hue and John Llue, who wore out of the state.
