Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Prohibition became entangled with politics during the war, and the toes of labor were trod upon. They de mand their beer and wine to wet their whistles when the factory whis tles blow. As labor has several mil lion more votes than reformers, they will probably get what they want. ; They ask not for whiskey a conces sion to the other side of the argu ment, giving them a long delayed victory over Demon Rum. But now it's Demon Beer, Demon Wine, De- nion Tobacco, Demon Cigarettes, De mon Movies, and Demon Everything. A sample of the distance a reform will 4ravat fa f ha ctan trv clnn flfrtlnfr I and the movement to abolish Santa Claus, not that they do any harm, hut are something to reform. At the present rate of reforming . by 1920 coffee' 2 per cent stronger than dishwater will be forbidden, and all smoking will be performed at night, underground. The unions with the strikitis are learning something they used to do most of their striking In the win ter. The son-in-law of Carranza says the old boy does not care to hold of fice after the expiration of his term. Often it seems doubtful it Carranza will last till then. - A list of the names of people whose business takes them over the hill on Sundays, would be good reading, and create all kindfi of excitement and cussing. In Hungary, where the folks are always hungry, the Bolshevik! de sired to argua when the French ar rived, and '.he unldealistic French decided to argue with the heavy ar tillery. At midnight Saturday, in the bat tle of Juarez, Mr. Villa bad succeed ed In capturing the race track, which don't amount to much militarily, but is a strategic point where the Amer icans bet American money on ponies. The Red Bluff News refers editor ially to "these Untied States of the Western World," ot which one is Mexico. Information is at hand that our bosom friend Walt Merrick, has re turned from Honolulu, making the trip on a 25 horse, electrically pro pelled, recently painted 1917 model. It looks like some of the popular magazines would show a little origin ality, and print a picture of a soldier on the front page. The Salvation Army is so full of practical Christianity that it does all of its foreign mission work at home.

THE American troops have crossed into Mexico and ' now the, question is when will they conie out. It appeal's from Secretary Baker's statement that there is a complete understanding with tho Mexican government. Let's hope so. But past experience lias demonstrated that complete understanding's with President Carranza Lave a wav of turning disconcerting tlip-llops. Tho sole purpose we hear border. From tins it appears dits have, as usual, been shooting wild. But there are other intimations that fhis is a long delayed but contin ued installment of that thrilling scenario, 1 ho pursuit and escape of Irancisco ilia. It will be remembered, by that Villa once upon a time They took him dead several but ho soon demonstrated he gan's tortoiso-shell eat. At Villa is piloting a second-hand aeroplane lor the bonier of Yueutan. It is too early to draw situation paiiitullv resembles another .Mexican fiasco The trouble is the Mexican people like most other people, don't like foreign intrusion. The Mexican general at Juarez was polite, Mexicans thank the gringoes for giving him a victory which he claimed he could have achieved as well without them. Therefore the danger is that the invasion will .end bv the Mexicans forgetting their civil strife and uniting against the United States unless this demonstration like those preceding is merely a irritate people on both sides tributing in any way to a settlement of the problem the menace or winch continually Irrigated Grain and Condition, PORTLAXD. June 14. Willamette vallev strain crops are in eood condi tion, as is irrigated erain in ail sec tions of Oreaon and conditions have been senerallv favorable for fruit. according to the weeklv crop nnd weather snmninrv issued bv the lo cal weather bureau. The tempera ture, savs the report, averaged slight ly above normal but there were sev eral cool nights during the past week, with frost in elevnted districts. There was ample sunshine and verv little rain fell in anv section. Drv north west winds caused rapid evaporation. Farm work in general is well ad vanced. The advance of vegetation is normal except in a few localities. ' In the principal wheat growing counties in the northern part of Ore gon winter wheat is standing the drought well but needs rain for prop er filling. In other lora&ies the drought is serious. In the southern counties all unirrigatcd grain needs rain. Spring wheat, oats and barley are suffering more than winter wheat. Rve is generally good nnd is ripening in the southern and north eastern counties: harvest of rve has begun in Umatilla and Josephine counties. Corn is doing well except for some local damage bv frost. Fruit conditions, except in some COMMUNICATION. To the Editor: You write such good editorials yourself that I feel sure vou will con sider this selection from the Los An geles Times not only good but time ly. Can you use it in your paper? ONE OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS. Paris cables carry the information that the war clouds over Europe are thickening rather than clearing awav. : The center of the disturbance has moved durintr tlie last year from Western to Eastern and Central Eu- I rope, but the fighting has increased.! not lessened. Three new local con-i flicts have been added to the sixteen I that were waging ten days ago. The i Bulgarians bare invaded Serbia: the! Hungarians are advancing into! Czecho-Slovakia: and German troops, said to be commanded bv Gen. Hin denburg. have invaded Courland and are menacting Estbonia. Perhaps the most hopeful view of j the situation and it is well to keepl continuously in mind that hope is a better counselor than fear is that these minor conflicts are the residue of the great war that ended with the November armistice. But the Euro pean situation has become so serious and complicated that anv peace which left these warrinc peoples to their own devices would be worse than a continuation of the war. The safety, not only of Europe, but of civilization itself, will hane in the balance until a system of centralized control, international in scope, shall be perfected which will keep each na tion, big and little, within its pwn boundaries. - Hates and rancors, some of them centuries old. have been loosed bv the social and political upheavals of the last five years. The eighteen wars now waging furnish conclusive evir dence that the newlv constituted na tions cannot be left to shift for themselves. The little ones would be crushed: the predatory ones would keep Europe in a constant turmoil: and the ones that sought to turn from militarism to industrialism would be come the prey of warlike neighbors. These conclusions are so fundamen tal that it seems trite to repent them: but thev seem to bo wholly overlooked bv the would-be economists in this country and elsewhere who are now opposing so arrogantly nnd so dema gogically the one plan that offers a prospect of bringing order out of chaos, the formation of a League of Nations. is to protect the American probable the Mexican ban some of our oldest residents, was to be taken dead or alive times by the typewriter route, had as many lives as Mull' the present moment perhaps definite conclusions, but the alwavs are, but he didn t militant gesture calculated to ot tho border without eon grows. Fruit in Best Says Crop Report listricts where moisture, is needed, are good. Strawberries are plentiful 'n the Willamette vallev and are ri Dening in the const counties. Cher ries are ripening but few have been narketcd. The prospect for logan berries is particularly good. Thin ning of fruit is in progress. Cutting of the first crop of nlfnlfa has been completed in some of the warmer sections and is generally in nrogress elsewhere, with yields most ly satisfactory; the second crop is starting well. Cutting of the first crop of clover is ,nndef wav. Pas tures nnd ranges heed rain in most oarts of Oregon, but except over lim ited areas' are. furnishing sufficient food. In some of the north central counties, however, the range is be coming exhausted and stock is being shipped out. ' . Except in limited areas, stock is in excellent ' condition. Some lambs have been marketed in Clackamas county and small numbers of grass fed cattle have been shipped. Potatoes are doing well except in elevated districts, where they have been injured bv frosts. Early pota toes are in bloom in western coun ties. Garden vegetables need rain in most sections. Garden pens arc ready for use in Malheur county. Treaties will continue to be so many scraps of paper until thev arc supports! bv a force that no envious nor predntorv people will dare chal lenge. The necessity for an au thoritative direction of tho-ooiirse of nations that will prevent collisions was never so annnrent. The traffic "cop" at the street crossing is but a single individual: vet thousands fol low daily the wave of his hand. The reason is twofold: the respectors of social order know that a regulation of the traffic at points where streets intersect is necessary for the public safety, and the selfish or reckless driver knows that the traffic "epp" is hacked bv the police, by the courts and, if necessary, bv the federal government. He represents central ized authority. Those moving, rest less peoples of Europe will plunge into endless wrecks nnd collisions if each is left to follow its own bent. There must be centralized control, and that control can be effected only through intcrr ,:onnl unity. There ore those in our own coun try, notably in the senate, who op pose international traffic agreements, who pretend that regulations to pre vent collisions will only increase their number. Thev have npparentlv learned nothing from the horrors of the last five vears. Thev have seen the earth rocking with the reverbera tions of warfare, millions slaughter ed, whole cities wiped out of exist ence nnd thousands of snuure miles of fertile, populous territory turned back to the desert and' wilderness, nnd it has taught them nothing. No arguments will convince those who have placed their reason nt the ser vice of their passions: but a few par tisan zealots must not be permitted to blind the country at lurgc to the crisis through which we liuve iust passed, and to the still more men acing one that confronts us if the definite peace of the world is not now assured. The developments of science during the last hundred vcurs have revolu tionized civilization. In the domains of industry thev have made life cus ier for the masses, huve served to eliminate liumun misery and to add to the world's store of happiness But the forces controlled bv acicnec are material : thev ore phvsicul forces. and unmoral: thev lend themselves alike to production and destruction", Any physical thing thut man con structs, man cun destroy, nnd tear ing down is always a shorter process than building. We have seen during the last four years the terrible possi bilities of tho blind forces of nuturo The Outburstslof Everett True ByiCONDO ("Vt0U, -TH12N, WHICH Of YiVJ turned liv science to destructive ends. Lite is the most .delicate thing on earth, the cost easily destroyed. New gases and explosive forces have been discovered that cun bo brought bv scientific development to n point where it will be posilile fur a fleet of aircrutt to empoison and stagnate the atmosphere of n whole citv and wipe out entire populations in an hour. The poisonous eases loosed bv volcnire eruptiou' ciin be tamed ami controlled bv sciancc. iust as electric force is controlled. until thev cun make nny section of the earth unin habitable. i' Some of tho forces for destruction. which were in Woeess of perfection when the armistice wus declared, would huve increased the horrors of warfare a hundred fold. Scientists hnve revealed enough to make cer tain that a po:iit bad been reached where air raids could have1 wlmllv destroyed every capital of Europe. Unless the nations of the world com bine to nut n sloi to the perfection of such engines of destruction, our civ ilization is going to destroy itself. Only bv the rcmovnl of the cause can the effect be evaded. Our progress has reached a point where it is possi ble to put a stop to the production of such weapons, iust as we are stopping the indiscriminate manufacture nnd marketing of opium. iicoho! ami oth er powerful narcotics. Now wo must either end wars or wars will end civil ization. Unless a ston is nut to the scientific development of forces of ilcstruction. those forces will turn the earth buck to barbarism. Making the world safe for peaceful industry does not mean, however. turning it over to crude democracy. President Wil.-on niiide use of an un fortunate expression when he assert ed that we entered the. war "to mako the world safe for democracy." Free government does not mean direct gov ernment. The progress of this coun try during the lust hundred years is a triumph for representative govern ment. A purt of the confusion nt present prevailing in Europe was oc casioned bv the fears of Kuropcan neoples of democracy. There were democracies in Europe ft thousand years ago. Direct government was given n trial bv the states of Greece and registered n universal fuiluro. A pure democracy is n form of govern ment under which the whole people act on every oucstion. , There arc no courts nor legislatures.' because the will of the people is law. nnd law represents its latest expression. Democracy in government was test ed before the Christian era nnd defi nitely abandoned: nnd the pence of the world cannot be secured bv res urrecting it now. Mob rule is the rule of the barbarian: representative government is the highest scientific development of Iniiniin association. 1 lie world cannot be made "safe for democracy," because democracy, in the fundamental meaning of the term, is itself unsafe. But the world can be nnd must be made safe for repre sentative government.)! lilic that THAT "GWTCC-r-MM" I s I IT; " T7 NKHXT APTC-ft. frU XeSStR. . 1 ....
