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.

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."

trailed as sub-tackle, was given a
chance on the first squad. Noruiile,
who turned out last night, will be
given n chance at guard, and McDon
ald will have a try at a line xsition.
Tho changes follow (he decision
reached by Coach Klum at the recent
Klaiiiuth Kails game to put some new
blood into the organization, it being
his opinion that the team, individually
mid collectively, were overconfident
of winning and over-sure of holding
their positions on the team.
Ashland predicts a hard four-cornered
race for the valley champion

on the showing of their team against
