TRYING TO AVOID INTERVENTION.
SENATOR JONES, in his address at the Tacoma Commercial Club on Tues
day, voiced the sentiment of the American people in his expression of
hope that President Wilson may succeed in his persistent, honest, patri
otic effort to avoid Intervention and save the Mexican people from
themselves, The question, as Senator Jonos says, is far above partisan
ship. It is a national question, a home question and, as he says, no man should
favor armed intervention unless he is willing to go into the army or send bis
son to war.
Present conditions In Moxico are rapidly becoming intolerable and the break
ing point must soon be reached, unless Mexican sentiment prevails over Hticr
ta's apparent determination to plunge bis country into war. The peoplo's
share of responsibility in the matter must be borne by the president and it is
gratifying to know that the people of the entire nation, with happily few ex
ceptions, are massed solidly behind the president. He has boon remarkably pa
tient in his efforts and, whatever may be the final resort, the president's pol
icy involves no selfish purpose and covers no ambitious design.
There is no socrot of President Wilson's opposition to Iluorto. He las sim
ply soujrht to proservo safety and self government on the western hemisphere,
in compliance with the Monroe doctrino, and has sought and is seeking peace
and stability in Mexico, not for tho benefit of the United States, but for the
benefit of Moxico and her place in the world of nations. Tho prosidoiit has re
fused to recognize murder and assassination as a moi'.ns of overthrowing gov
ernments. He has mado no attempt to change plans or customs or forms of gor-

eminent in Mexico, but has undertaken to stand between the people of the torn
and mutilated republic and the man who would usurp the reins of government
for bis personal aggrandizement and the enrichment of bis coterie of paid fol
lowers. He has sought to defeat despotism and to restore constitutional gov
ernment to an enslaved people.
It is impossible to learn accurately what is happening in Mexico, but it is
certain that same caution which has marked the .president's course to this
time is still being observed. Something must have been done by President Wil
son to ascertain the extent of the success of the constitutional revolutionists.
Something must have been done to attain a proper estimate of Carranza, the
revolutionary leader. Something must have been thought out as to tho advisa
bility of letting Carranza import arms. Furthermore, we have a very well-defined
suspicion that something may have been done toward "feeling out" the
attitude of the great South American republics on the subject of a peaceful
joint intervention.
The main thing for most of us to do is to eontinue to remember that Presi
dent Wilson wants peace instead of war and that there are several protective
devices between that dread eventuality and explosive stories from the capital
of Mexico.
The president's course has been wise and conservative and consistent. If
the worst comes and intervention is unavoidable, we can go into Mexico with
clean hands. Tacoma Tribune.
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP AND SOCIALISM.
HAS THE GREAT AMERICAN CONSUMER any rights which any combi
nation of men with capital enough to control any process or product, is
bound to respect f It would seem not, and that whatever such a combi
nation decrees, that baa to "go as it lays." As a people we have proba
bly more laws and less results than any nation in the world. While
boasting our freedom, we are the veriest slaves to any and all who want to
plunder us, and we. seem to like it. One of our troubles is that we have too
much law, that, like the Monroe doctrine, is always bobbing up to compel ns
to do somothing we do not want to do, or to leave undone something we want
to do.
Rocently the following news item appeared among the dispatches from the
east:
"A syndicate of Manhattan cold storage speculators has sold to a whole
Bale grocery house here 140,000 cases of cold storage eggs at a not profit of
$75,000. Since the grocer made the purchase several days ago, bis eggs have
gone up enough to guarantee him a not profit of $180,000 at the latest market
quotations, Tho eggs originally cost the speculators 18 cents a dozen.
The speculation dealt with only one week's normal consumption of eggs in
New York City."
Here is a case where one product alone, and only enough of that to make
one week 's supply for the city of New York, was sold at prices that netted a
profit of $225,000 in a few days. This transaction was mado possible because
tho cold storage companies have capital enough that tbey can assemble a vast
store of any commodity, on which later they can collect unholy profits. The
small capitalist cannot do this, and so the fiold is loft open for the big follows
to control, and to cinch the consumer as much and as hard as they'plcase. The
perfecting of the cold storage system should have been a boon to humanity,
and would be if prooerly safo-gnardod. To do this would compel the classing
of cold Btorago compmiies ns public utilities, and fixing some limit of profit
which they wore allowed to make. At the same time it nitis! be concedod that
tho main cinch In the case in point was not duo directly to the cold storage
company, which got only $75,000 profits, for tho grocer "in a few days" mado
a profit of $180,000. it would seem from, this that not only should tho com-
any be controlled, but tho grocer, also; and as this cannot be dono under our
present system of government, that it could only bo corrected by government
ownership and oporation. Thus day aftor day the big fellowB teach Socialism,
and teach it with tho advantages of magnificent illustrations. Within tho Inst
fow yenrB tho people have been doing considerable thinking, and they have
about reached the conclusion that thore is no need of their submitting to be
ing robbed by every man or company that gets into a position to hold them
up with a gun, in the shape of aggregated wealth, processes and patents. Neith
er do they longer care for or fonr political bugaboo. Socialism no longer
scares thorn, by its name, aud if it will roloave them from some of tho unjust
thiugs from which thoy now suffer, they will adopt Socialism ns quickly as any
other form of government. Another thing this case illustrates is that these un
holy prices never by any possibility benefit the producer. He is in the same
class as the consumer to the extent that the big corporations, that have the pow
er, rob him just as cheerfully as they do the consumer. With cold-blooded rob
bery at both ends of the deal, the manipulators wax fat, but they are not like
Jeshuron, for they do not kick. Even that part of the deal is turned over to
the two sufferers, the producer who gets half what his product is worth, and
the consumer who payB double what the corporation that finally corners the
product pays the other middlemen for It.
New York seta a new record in the matter of speeding. At a funeral Wed
nesday the chauffeur of the leading auto coach was arrested for speeding.

There was an exhibition of voting machines at the court house Thursday.
These machines, we understand, cost about $900 each and if adopted by the
state would cost several million dollars. Tho saving in the cost of elections is
made to appear large on paper, but we fancy that is about tho only place in
which they would make any material showing. With our present population
Oregon has little or no uso for voting machines. Another feature of the vot
ing machine is that the voter has to be educated up to its use. Tho only per
sons to bo benefited by the state adopting voting machines, would be the man
ufacturers of the machines.
The lawmaker who had that voting machine bill passed did a good thing
by failing to provide any money which could bo used in paying for the ma
chines, and so kept the fad from getting a hold in the state for a few years,
at least.
The railroad commission has given the Salem Water Company some four
months in which to make a showing, and so far not a bit of information has
been furnished it. Is the commission a joke or does it mean business? If the
former it might As well understand that the people of Salem are not in a mood
for joking. If it has the power it should comjiel the water company to make a
showing. If it has not the power to do this, then it had better let the fact be
known, so that this long-suffering community can tjoke some other method for
obtaining relief.

. Anyway, the Workmen's commission can get ready for business by the time
the law goes into effect, as it will havo more than seven months for study and
preparation. It may bo necessary, however, to have another try at the su
preme court to settle some other things in connection with the work.
The sale of the Salem sewer bonds is a gratifying bit of news for those who
have paid their assessments, and who will in the near future got their money
back. Anyway, it encourages one in tho hope that even the railroad commis
sion will sometime get a move on and compel the water company to present its
case. Ab it is now the peoplo feel they are being charged excessive rates for
their wjiter and they blame the railroad commission for it.
Attorney John McNary mado a strong address bofore the state bar associa
tion at Portland Tuesday. Among other things suggested by him was the tak
ing of the pardoning power from the governor. He takes the position that the
trial jury has bettor means of knowing the guilt or innocence of a person, and
that tho governor should not have the right to overrule its decision. There is
good logic in that, but would not the same reasoning apply to tho decisions of
the lower courts and cut off the supervision of the supreme court from many
criminal wisest
PASTOR OF LOS ANGELES
BUILDS MODERN CHURCH
UNITED mtSB MA8EU WIItl.1
Los Angoles, Nov. 21. A Los Angeles
clergyman, Rev. Charles C. HeJecman,
to bo specific, declares that a cjiurch
cannot attract Twentieth contury men
by Tenth century methods. So he if

and which will contain hells, gymnasium
and baths, billiard rooms and othei
comforts heretofore found only in the
tents of the ungodly.
Pastor Selecman is from Missouri,

his general scheme of showing the other
churches something.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidnoy trouble
because we eat too much and all our
food is rich. Our blood is filled with,
filter acid which the kidneys strive to
filter out, they weaken from overwork,
become sluggish; the eliminative tis
sues clog and the result is kidney trou
ble, bladder weakness and a general
decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts if the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with
sick headache, or you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, got from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoon in a glass of
water before breakfast for a fow daya
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen
erations to flush and stimulate clogged
kidneysy; to neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is a source of ir
ritation, thus ending bladder disor
ders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidnoy
flushing any time.
