SO.M I "I'l M KS t lie machinery of juslicc is perverted so as to render injustice. Such w;is evidently tlie ease in the matter of tlio State vs. W. C. Daley of Lake Creek. The grand' jury returned an indictment against Mr. Daley, aged 71, pioneer and county luiilder, who for nearly hall' a century lias heen an honored and respected citizen of .Jackson county, charging him with having committed an heinous crime. On trial the flimsy character of the evidence, no proof at all being submitted to substantiate the accusation, re sulted in the prosecutor's asking a dismissal of'the case there being no substantiation of the absurd and slanderous charges upon which the indictment had been asked. Mr. Jhilcy goes out of court completely exonerated. The same cannot be said for the grand jury, which upon in sufficient evidence and without due investigation, cast the shadow of suspicion over an upright man and tarnished an unblemished reputation. It is unfortunate that the law provides no recourse for individuals who are forced to suffer shame and humiliation, and arc put to needless expense because of the errors of those who are sworn to enforce justice. The intentions of the grand jury may have been all right but bell is paved with just such good intentions. INSTANT RESPONSE NEEDED.

HA VK you ever stopped to think what our country is to be, after Hie war ! and, if so, hasn't, your conviction become st rung that, socialism will prevail in strong degree? Surely government will arbitrarily do Uiiiigs as never before and the policy of the supremacy of the common good will rule as never before; for, what is found good when the life of the nation is endangered by war must, grow to be desirable, when, iu peace, the great opportunity for prog ress toward high ideals is recognized. Today, for the supremacy of the common good, the gov ernment, takes into its hands the lives of our young men, our money, our factories, our transportation facilities, our necessaries of life, pretty much all that Ave have down to the private and intimate affairs of existence. In fact, it is government by autocracy in behalf of socialism, isn't iti America has resorted to war in order to preserve and promote democracy and civilization. She cannot accom plish her (ask and then stand still. For a long time our business world, for instance, lias been working upon the tlyory that the laws of Chris! (( 'hrist ianily ) are inipracl icahle iu actual life and must be superseded by the laws or methods of capitalism. Yet, to day, when the bleeding, starving world cries for help, we take banks, mills, mines, railroads, all corporal ion interests adapted to Ihe 11 Is of our enterprise, and make the law of brotherhood which .lesus taught dominant, liv collect ive, socialistic action we change the organization of our economic life into a new order based on Christian prin ciples. Our response to the world's appeal for help is a cam paign, mil ioii-sl rung, for world-wide, equal rights, demo crat ic disl ril ml ii mi of opport unity and wen It h, and 111 ut ual dependence and serv ice. We offer effort and sacrifice for the common brotherhood as never before a labor of love. The war will impress upon us the leaching that we are all children of the one Father.

"Co-operating as we aro with tho nations of Europe in the war against the central powers," said Secretary Houston, "the task of maintaining subsistence of the allies is at once a political and moral obligation and a military necessity. War Is always de structive of production and, In a pe culiar sense, it is destructive of the production of foodstuffs, since war leads to a scarcity of labor and labor Is ono of the chief factors in cultiva tion of the soil. "In addition, the wheat crop of practically the cntlro wordl has suf fered serious reduction during tho past year, and the prospects for the coming year promiso littlo or no In crease Iu tho production of Ihis essen tial cereal. I Two Course Open. "Ono of two courses lies open to our government. Tho first is to con tinue as we are at present, that is, to pel mil unhampered the abnormal op erations of trade, rendered all the more abnormal because of the needs of the allies for foodstuffs from this country. Tho second plan consists in tho regulation or control of our food stuffs to tho double end ot mainte nance of the subsistence of tho allies and the protection of Iho food needs and commercial interests of our own people "Tho bills now pending In congress provide for systematic development of our productive forces and an ade quate control of distribution and con sumption, to the end of conserving for ourselves and for the allies the food stuffs provided thru the stimula tion of agriculture." Secretary Houston describes the first food bill as a nieasuro to stimu late production and the second as oue to control distribution. What is to bo accomplished under each is given at length. 1 FLIGHT FOR BONDS WICHITA. Kus., June 1 1.- -Until 1 I . (ieuei pi I'd -!

The Act of 1910 eliminated the common law defenses of nn emplover and practically placed him in the position of an insurer. The contention was that this Act. was not applicable to farm labor, but: the Supreme Court has held to 1 he cont rary. From tlie farmer who hires only an occasional hand to the man that under takes operations necessitating an annual payroll expenditure of thousand' of dollars, this decision is of prime importance and calls for immediate protec tion. We are prepared to furnish Workmen's Compensation polit y covering farm ing operations of all kinds, payable m exact accordance with the Oregon Work men's Compensation Law of June ) 1914. Our policy premium is based upon the estimated annual payroll at the rate of $1.59 for each -100 of payroll actu ally expended, the actual cost being arrived at upon the end of the policy pe riod: the estimated premium being forwarded to us at the beginning of tlie pe riod. The State rate is $2.00 for ea -h $1H0 of payroll and the employer is re iuircd to collect a cent per day from each employe and to make monthly re p..rK The busy season is at hand when the rush of work may result in neglect and 1 hercfore accidents, and entirely aside from a humane motive, the emplover of today occupies a position of trust, the responsibility of which cannot be." over estimated.
