The fate of tho dragon is forecast In Revolutions xll:9. "Gifford's fake ticket announces that the 'Good Government league' fs 'composod of members from the va rious churches,' etc. That Is what tho Oregon Federation of Patriotic societies has been fighting for tho last eight years, viz., churches In pol itics or politics in churches.

U. P. LAUNCHES FIRST ATTACK ON S. P. APPEAL I Union Pacific Attorneys at' Washington Ask Inter-state! Commerce Commission to Dismiss Entire Matter Commissioner Potter Seems to Object. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The ap plication of tlie Southern Pacifie com pany to retain control of the Central Pacific, notwithstanding tho dissolu tion order by the supreme court, was opposed In arguments made beforo tho Inter-Htute Commerce commis sion today by representatives of tho Union Pacific system. Tlio commission's general healings on the Houthcrn Pacific proposals aro to begin November 21 and today's argument was of a preliminary na ture und was precipitated by a re quest by tho Union Pacific that tlio whole matter bo dismissed without further action. "You ore -asked In this nplleatlon to exerciso an extraordinary power," If. A. Heandrett, counsel for tlio Union Pacific, told tho commission, "a power which In effect is that of nullifying decisions of the supremo court. You must bo ablo to find this power conferred squarely upon your commission und find It located with in tho four corners of tho Inter-state coiiuncreu act beforo you can uttcmpt to use it." "Is It your position that the com mission lias not the power und may not award tompornry control of the Central Pacific to tho Southern Pa cific?" asked Commissioner Potter. "I think you do not have the power," Mr. Hcapdrett replied. "But It is not necessary that you so decide In order to' grant our request and dis miss the Southern Pucific's applica tion." . S. I. Also Iteprcsentccl. Tho declHinn of the supreme court ordering the dissolution of the Southern Pacific-Central Paelrie com bine resulted from long litigation and "most laborious consideration," Mr. Heandrett continued. He asserted that although the combination had been held finally In violation of law nnd against public interest, the Houthern Pacific was seeking to have tho commission nullify this holding by exercising powers conferred upon it by tho EHi-h-Cummtns bill to bring ubout consolidation of roads.

LONDON, Nov. 4. (lly Associated Press.) Formor Prliuo Minister Lloyd Georgo In delivering today his first IKiptilur address in London since tho fall of the coalition cabinet, made a strong dofense of tlio lato govern ment's policy and pleaded for a vigor ous middle course, froo from both revolution nnd reaction, which ho do ccrlucd as equally dangerous to tho interests of tho nation. Tlio' ox-premier spoke In a motion picture theater to 3000 persons. Some j,000 persons applied for admission. If tho attitude of Mr. Lloyd George's audlunco and that of tho throngs of people clustering ubout the doors seek ing admittance nre any criterion, ho has by no means lost his popularity, even lu London, where most of the criticism of tho late coalition has cen tered. Audience Spellbound When tho ex-premier appeared on the stuge, the whole audience rose and joined in cheering for several minutes. Although ho did not appear to be in his best speaking form, he was able to hold his audience spollbound except for Intermittent cheers, for more than nn hour. .l' '"",t ".'?"' . - Particularly acceptable to the audi once was the ex-premier'a summary of tho economic and financial policies of tho lato government. ' "When my friend Mr. Bonnr Law, tho new prime minister, loft the wrocked coalition cabinet," said Mr. Lloyd George, "the British sovereign would buy In the United States only 13 shillings tuppence worth of mer chandise; whon Mr. Bonnr Law man aged at the Carleton club to overthrow that cabinet, the British sovereign would buy eighteen shillings, five ponce worth of merchandise." Speaking of the- danger from ox trouio socialism and from like conser vatism, Mr. Lloyd George laid aside Ills notes, leaned backwards In charac teristic fashion and declared: Get Your Dictionaries "When you got home, get your dic tionaries, turn to the lotter ' 'R' road down to tho word 'reaction,' and then a very little furthor and come to the word 'revolution.' Thoy come vory closo together, almost in tho same column, but remoniber reaction conies rirst. Even Murray's dictionary has a lesson which wo will do well to re member." Tho ex-promler warned his hearers to remember at the coming elections that they would choose a parliament for five years and he asked if they wanted a parliament which would sloop politically and remain quiescent, unmindful of the many-'- difficulties which woro bound to lie ahead. "Tranquility," ho addod, "docs not depend upon tho ship, but on the sea. A standstill policy isn't a policy, it is A yawn." A little further on tho speaker de clared: "You don't slow down tho ship by sitting on tho accelerator." Liberty Bomls. NEW YORK, Nov. -4.
