A great world war, in which America played a conspicuous part, has been, suc cessfully waged and won, with a minimum of loses to the nation and a iiiixiiinnn of benefit to the world. Let us be thankful that the United States has been of great Service to humanity in the defeat of military autocracy and the triumph of democracy, that we as a nation, have uphold those principles for the right of man kind to enjoy life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness fought for by the founders of the republic. Let ns be thankful that in the great crisis confronting the country, tho nation, in spite of its diversity of races and of peoples and of creeds piwod its unity, eo-opcrating in all essentials in a common purpose, presenting a people united in a common cause, inspired by the loftiest ideals for the regeneration of mankind. Let us Ijo thankful that wo have been enabled by our imineasuroablc resources and bountiful harvests and by patriotic self-denial- to render needed assistance to our allies, to feed half of Europe, in its hour of need, to sustain the flagging spirits of war worn peoples, to care for the destitute of devastated regions and to assist the oppressed peoples of territories occupied by the enemy. Lot us be thankful that our army and navy have proved their efficiency, their stamnia and pcrservereuce, their valor in battle and their humanity and chivalry in victory, that the nation "arrived" at tlie crisis in the af fairs of the world and helped turn the tide of defeat into the triumph of victory. Let us be thankful that in the national emergency our government measured up to i':s responsibilities, as he people- measured up to theirs, thus vindicating the theory of democracy, proving it efficient not only in peace but in war. ' Let . us be thankful that to Providence which watches over the affairs of the republic, lhat reared a Washington to lead the armies of the revolution and a Lincoln those of the civil war, has given us a president whose course has brought him recognition as the foremost citizen of the world, idolized among the oj (pressed peo ples who have gained their liberties, chosen spokesman of the allied nations we have fought with, and appealed to as a friend by the enemy peoples. Let us be thankful that America has become a world power in the best sense of the word a power for right eousness and just ice; that we have emerged from the war with clean hands and the respect and love of the world; that f roni (lie Laltic to I'agdad hopes for the future are pinned upon the disinterestedness, sincerity and magna nimity of the tinted States; that the French, Pritish, Pel gians and Italians regard us with the affection of broth ers, and that Old ( ilory is saluted around the world as the emblem of freedom and the champion of the disinherited. Above all let us be thankful that the war is over ami that those who responded to the call to the colors, who offered their all to protect those of us at home from the menace of military might and threat of fright fulness are coming home. Lot us drop a fragrant flower of remem brance for those who made the supreme sacrifice in the worthiest of all worthy causes. Lot us be true to our exalted principles and our ideal ism in the trying days of reconstruction now dawning, so that our dead shall have not died in vain. Let us, as a na tion, continue to hold tho torch that enlightens the world. "Tho sword of civilization's right lias beaten back malignant might.

Tlie VHssaiie o ho two Jackson bills by n vote of the lu-onlc of Ore iron Insi week in one of the clearest examples of the abuse of the initia tive system that hns uceurreil. It is a uerfeetlv safe assumption that 75 per cent of the votes in favor of the abolishment of the publication of the delinquent tax lists and the establishment of a 3V' cent leifal ad vestisintr rate were unmtelliirentlv east, for the simple .rsaeon that not one voter in four took the trouble to investigate the merits, fathom tho ournose nor consider the hurmt'ujnuss of these measures. On the fare of these bills they ap peared as economy measures and such ienonmt!v received supnort. In realitv the voters were made the tools for spite bv (.'. S. Jackson of the Ore gon Jo'.trnal on the newspapers of the state outside of Portland and a full rrensure of re venire has been accom plished. It would have been more sensible had the voters been nsked .tofavor th( establishment of maximum prices of 25 cents nor dozen on es. 8-eenr milk or $.100 automobile, for the enU lible voters then would have at least stooped to consider the harmful ef fects on the producers and mauitfae tnrTs.

The revenue received from the publication of the delinquent tax lists was one of the few tautrible nn sets left and the leaal ndvertisine at an average price of cents per line L'ave bi;t a sinal nmmiti of profit, as that price hud been current lor years past, despite the increases in all costs of niannfacturint'- Now the newspaper publisher, bv n vote of his own people, unintelii t'entlv cast, has been substantiallv legislated ont of this business and forced to content himself with a It1 cent per line letral advertisinir rate and at a time when he was entitled to fully double that amount, il elmnres were increased in proportion to the prices of other manufactured articles. The state of Oreiron will surely lose by this unintelligent vote in favor of this oppressive newspaper legislation. Over .10 strictly country newspapers in this state have suspended publica tion and none out of business within the pat two years, representinjr about 35 per cent of the state's week ly and daily newspapers, not to men tion numerous semi-newspapers and other publications. These un fort una ti publications could not weather the increased costs of labor and materials incident to the war and at the same time donate to the L'overnment a majority of their advertising and reading columns for patriotic purposes and besides stand the oa of usual income from rail- 6 Bell-ans Hot water.

True we must husband our food resources, for we still have a great humanitarian service to render all of Europe we must help to supply her peoples with food. One of the blessings which has come to us wilh the declaration of Peace is the permission grant ed our people by the IT. ,S. Food Administration to return to an all wheat flour basis in their bak ing and cojddng It is no longer necessary to use wheat substi tutes. Some will doubt les scontiuue to do so be cause they learned to like them: the great ma jority of American people however greet the re turn of all-wheat k" 'ail, cake and pastry to the daily table with as much joy as they would the return of a friend long absent No other food can take the place in the Ameri can home of bread made from flour, produced by the scientific grinding of choicest wheat berries.

Housewives so found it, hence its extreme popularity on the Pa cific Coast. This superiority lias always been maintained, even during the trying war period. It has always been made of choicest Eastern Hard Wheat and choicest Washington and Ore . gon illuesteni. In pre-war times housewives found that it was real economy to pay more for Fisiu r's Hlend Flour than tor flours anade. of Washington and Oregon wheats. It is greater economy tuday than ever before to buy Fisher's F.leiid because the government having advanced the price of Washington end Oregon wheats, manufacturers of Washington and Oregon wheat flours increased their prices until there is little if any difference between the price of Washing ton and Oregon wheat flours and Fi.-her's lMcnd.
