AS OXK of tlio six-senators opposing the jidoption of the war rcsoliitoii, Senator JJarry Lane represented only himself and the few Germans among ns. He did not rep resent Oregon or the people of Oregon and should resign. His vote shows that he is true to form and can he counted upon as the friend of the enemy. liinig familiarity with his vagaries has bred contempt for Harry Lane in Oregon, hut. the unpatriotic spectacle made of himself hy Senator LaFollette has surprised and shocked the many former admirers of the Wisconsin re former, who has committed political hara-kiri by assum ing the leadership of the modern copperheads. LaFollette 's peace speech consisted of a partisan de fense of German barbarism and atrocity, a justification of the war she is waging upon America, a deinogogic twist ing of the British lion's tail and a prejudiced and jaun diced assault upon the president, and upon the policy of the United States. Whatever prospects of political preferment 'La Follette as a progressive, leader, they have gone glimmering. Loy may have had its a. progressive leader, they have gone glim mering. Loyalty to one's own country is the first requisite in a statesman and LaFollette has been 'weighed .and found wanting. VERMONT SHOWS THE WAY. SO FA It as numbers go, Vermont is a small state :(i(),000 people. ,Only six states in the union have fewer. Hut the governor oi this trim, fighting little bantam has asked the legislature for 1,000,000 that Vermont may bear "more than its share" of the duty of national defense. No other state, not even those ten times as big, have appropriated more.- In projiorton to population Vermont, has far outclassed all the rest. - "We always have done more than our share, you know," says the governor, with simple pride. The record says so, and it begins with Fthen Allen and some of Stark's men and runs straight, fine and true American all the way down. "More than our share." That's a good word. "More than our share," says Vermont and makes no fuss about it, but starts in to do it. If all the rest of us had the saint! reso lute, ungrudging, ready-to-serve spirit, how long would the old beast of Prussian autocracy survive to curse the world? Sixty days'? Anyway, salute little old Vermont! Old and always young! The governor says it believes in action, not in words. Then salute it again! Salute anybody that holds such a doctrine and gets busy on it.

The world's food crop Ib deficient and the situation Is becoming alarming to lluvld Lubln, American representative of the Inter national Institute of Agriculture. Mr. I.uliln Is here to report facts to Presi dent Wilson through Ambassador Page and l iii'sing the Imperative necessity of a mobilization of Ameri can agricultural resources. In the report to the Associated Press, Mr. I.ubln said: "For tho first time in many years there exists a deficit in the supply of corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, es timated at a total of 130,000,000 bushels less than the normal require ments for countries open to trade. Tho situation is worse than was ex pected last October. The institute's reports Indicated then a surplus of more than enough to feed the world until August of this yeur when the new crops begin to come In. "We must profit by Europe's ex perience Jieforo meal tickets become necessary. i "Wo can eliminate high prices by curtailing waste, by growing more foodstuffs and by conserving our sup ply which is more Important than getting men Into the army. "Two months after the beginning of tho war Germany forbade the use of wheat or rye for feeding livestock and two months later requlstloncd all supplies of food. Our first duty Is to prevent the. manipulation of food sup plies, thus obtaining an effective moy bllizatlon through the samo plan as tho Germans, tho substance of which Is om'bodled In senate bill 5973." PARIS. April 5. "We all have that feeling that something great, surpass ing the proportions of a political event, has just been accomplished," said 'Premier Ribot In an address to day in the chamber of deputies. "En trance Into the war with us of tho most pacific democrat country in the world is a historic fact without eriual." The premier's address was delivered in tho presence of William G. Sharp, tho American ambassador, and tho other members .of the diplomatic corps. The ministerial benches and members seats wero filled and the galleries were crowded. . "After having done everything to demonstrate to us its attachment to peace," M. Ribot continued, "the American nation solemnly declares It cannot remuln neutral in tills great conflict between right and violence, between civilization and barbarism." EAGLE FOllOTS - An niijrur for the success of tin.' recruiting invasion of Kittle Point to day by members of the Seventh I'mii pnny mid of the veterans' association was given Wednesday night, when two young men of: Kngle lint, Hub ert K. L. Ilarnisli and Frank V. Ila.ulton, appeared at the recruiting headquarters on JIain street and en rolled in the local company. A large number of recruits are ex pected to be gathered in on the visit today. The probability of conscrip tion in the near future will play an important part in the minds of local young men, who will enlist, rather than wear the of the conscripted man.
