What the Editors Say.
The world is just beginning to real
ize how far it is to Berlin. Likewise,
the kaiser is learning that it is a
long, long way from his domicile to
London, Paris, and some other cities
he would like to enter.—Itemizer.
Cheer up. The flap-jacks are assur
ed for another winter. A 20,000,000
bushel buckwheat crop is the latest
forecast for the United States. This
is an increase of 8,000,000 bushels
over the 1916 crop.—Itemizer.
“The Turks can go to hell!” Billy

The general impression in Christian
countries is that they not only can
but do. If the Turks don’t go there
the place might as well be abolished.

Humanity on a U-Boat.
----- o
The master of the American bark
Christiane, which
was sunk by a
German submarine near the Azores, hs
reports an interesting conversation
with the U-Boat captain. The latter
took him aboard, gave him a good
meal, and incidentally explained that
he "hated to sink American ships,”
and only did so because, with Ger
many and the United States at war,
he couldn’t help it. He added that he
couldn’t really believe the stories that
U-boat commanders had fired on life
boats, and that "so far as he was con
cerned, no lifeboat would ever meet
such a fate.”
There’s food for reflection in the
mere fact that American newspapers
should have through this incident
worth reporting in full, and that their
readers received it with a thrill of in
terest and appreciation. Why should
so simple an expression of ordinary
humanity and decency attract so
much attention? Such courteous be
havior would have been taken as a
matter of course if shown by a rep
resentative of any other navy. Can
we imagine an American naval com
mander doing anything else than ex
pressing his regret to the captain of
a helpless merchantman that he had
been obliged to sink, in obedience to
orders? Or firing on a life boat full of
innocent non-combattants, orders or
no orders?
But coming from a U-boat com
mander, this expression of humane
sentiment compels attention by its
exceptional nature. It is so unusual
for sailors of any allied or neutral
nation to receive any courtesy what
ever from representatives of the Ger
man navy that one kindly word or act
stands out like a beacon above the
general welter of ruthlessness and hu-
manity.
It is a vivid reminder of the ap-
palling reputation that Germany has
gained at sea, and the long, hard task
it will be after the war to live down
that reputation. Among the world’s
freemasonery of marines the Ger
mans will have no friends—not be
cause they are Germans, but because
of their ready acquiescence in the
ugly work their imperial master or
dered them to do.—Umpqua Valley

Ptussian
Warfare a Reversion to
Barbarism.
Socialists delegates to the Minneap
olis conference of the American Al
liance of Labor and Democracy have
joined in a statement that should si
lence and shame those socialists who
arc playing the kaiser's game by
keeping up an agitation for an impos
sible peace that would be equivalent
to Prussian victory, says the Spokes
man Review.
The whole case is stated irrefutably
in these two brief paragraphs:
"German autocracy, with its feudal-
istic moves; Gernion junkerdom, Ger
man plutocracy—in short, German
militarism -constitutes the last cita
del of the world's dark, reactionary
forces.”
“We arc convinced that the war in
which tin United States is now en
gaged is as just a war as was ever
waged hv a liberty-loving people
against ruthless aggression and op
pressive tyranny.
The issue could not be more vivid
and clear. Twentieth century progress
freedom and enlightenment are fight
ing meiii.val doctrines o the divine
rfght of kings. The Prussian tyranny
is worse than medieval rule, for med
ieval warfare bore the redeeming
flowers of chivalry and knightly ten
derness. It was considerate of child
hood. womanhood and age. It pro
tected the weak and succored the ill.
It gave kindly quarter to a worsted
foe. It spared churches,
and shrines. Princes who fought their
knightly oaths were held in execra
tion, and occasional knights who
transgressed the laws of chivalry be
came outcasts and outlaws.
Prussian warfare is a reversion to
barbarism and savagery. It seeks vic
tory through terrorism on land and
sea. It tears up treaties, betrays the
privileges of its diplomats at neutral
capitals, and proclaims itself above
international law.
Socialists with hearts and vision see
the truth and are fired with righteous
resolution to lift their lances against
the monstrous evil of Prussian intol
erance, cruelty and crime.

Government Purchase of Wheat.
The government through the $50,-
000,000 United States grain corpora
tion of the national food administra
tion, entered the wheat market and
the theory of government control had
it first actual tryout.
The government is buying only on
warehouse receipts, and no contract
will be made for future delivery.
Some minor details still remain to
be worked out, but they are not of
sufficient moment to interfere with
the operation of the system. These
have to do with the methods cf pro
cedure, as, for instance, the corpora
tion is not yet declared to charge the
1 per cent for handling as a matter of
price on each transaction, or to sim
ply add the 1 per cent to the monthly
statement to customers.
A retail baker was recently quoted
as having said that the farmers would
hold out for a higher price for their
wheat. As government control does
not begin until the wheat reaches the
elevators or terminals, there is noth
ing to prevent the producer from
holding out his individual harvest, but
this will be neither feasible or profit
able. It was pointed out by an official
connected with the corporation that
in the first place an individual holding
would not affect the supply, and in
the second place that, as congress
fixed next year’s prices on the basis
of $2 wheat, there would be no
chance of risking the loss by deter
ioration to meet a condition thart
would exclude greater profit.
The control of the food administra
tion over prices begins in the eleva
tors and ends with the sale of flour
at a 25-cent-a-barrel profit by the
millers.. If bread prices are not low
ered and the bakers seek to keep the
increased profit that will obtain be
tween the lowered milling prices and
the present high retail prices, then
the food administration will step in,
but until that condition arises the cor
poration will not interfere.
The food law allows millers to keep
only a thirty-day stock on hand,
a measure to prevent hoarding, and
the corporation has not made public
an agreement that may have been
reached as to the proportionate allot
ment to the various mills. These al
lotments are being carefully worked
out between Mr. Barnes and James
Bell, chairmen of the central millers’
committee.
The arrangement between the cor
poration and the mills of the United
States began on September 10, but
it was in order to furnish a stable
basis to the thousands of country
elevators and other buyers who are in
doubt as to the value of their pur-
chases when delivered at the termin-
als that the corporation began the
making of purchases by the various
zone agencies.
Price of Potatoes May Possible be
«<» Cents.
While the new crop of potatoes is
now w’orth about two cents per pound
the commission men say the chances
arc good for a decided drop in prices
as soon as general digging begins and
the big potato states can average up
their crops.
The Idaho crop is a bumper one
and Colorado and Minnesota both
heavy growers of potatoes report ex
cellent conditions. All of which may
possibly mean that the price here as
an opener may be something like 50
or 60 cents.
