METHOD IN THEIR MADNESS. IN AN address delivered at Washington today, James J. Hill in discussing the "future of our foreign trade" places the blame for depressed industrial conditions upon arbitrary wage scales imposed by labor unions, and upon "unwise restricted legislation and unnecessary taxation on business," and cites Great Britain as an ex ample of the effect of such conditions, says the Medford Mail Tribune. Mr. Hill, like other railroad magnates, is at present en gaged in a nation-wide campaign of manufacturing pub lic opinion to sanction an authorized increase of five per cent in railroad fates and hence, until the increase is secured, railroad men are playing the part of doleful Jer emiahs, prophets of calamity. There is a studied effort on the part of big business to create hard times. There is no real reason for business depression. Crops have been excellent. Banks are full of money. The new tariff has hurt only a few pampered industries and greatly benefited the' mass of people. Cur rency reform has placed banking upon a, sounder basis and panics are now impossible. There is every reason why the artificial breaks of Wall Street should not stop the wheels of industry. But the administration's anti-trust legislation is pend ing in congress. This is the "restrictive" legislation Mr. Hill complains of it will probably prevent cutting any more such melons as the New Haven. Hence a return to power of the Republican party promising the needed re lief to Wall Street, is extremely desirable. Hence the talk of hard times and the enforced depression, the attempt to empty the dinner bucket so as to cause the defeat of the Democratic program by the time-worn appeal to the wnvkincnri.in's hellv. The tyranny of labor unions does not seriously effect industry. Where fair wages and better conditions are de manded, the employers still have the right to import arm ed guards to shoot the workers down. Surely a country which has witnessed the scenes enacted in West Virginia, Michigan and Colorado, all in one year, cannot be serious ly embarrassed by unionism. The issue before the country is whether the government is going to rule big business or big business continue to rule the government. President Wilson has succeeded in smashing the tariff monopolies and curbing the trusts. He is now attempting the regulation of great corpora tions. His hands must be upheld if the people are to win out. We might as well fight it out now and have it over with as failure now will mean panic threats hereafter whenever the program of greed and grab is interfered with. Mr. Hill, and other industrial chiefs, never touch upon the fundamental trouble with this country, as with Great Britain the monopolization of natural resources and op portunities. Lloyd George of England is pointing to the remedy for John Bull but no American statesman has dared as yet to do as much for Uncle Sam. Kansas club women have aprepd to do .1 wppIc's wash ing and contribute the money ior assisting gins in college. Just wnat tne washerwomen who are thus deprived of work will think of the scheme would make interesting reading, and they might indeed claim that it was their contribution instead of the club women's. Anyway it is easier to contribute someone's else money than one's own. Carrying liquor through the streets of Albany except in the original package in which it was shipped into the city has been forbidden by ordinance. This is a wisely worded law, as it permits a man to reach his home after visiting Portland or some other dry territory and imbib ing a few. With his belt comfortably distended he can still claim he is the original package in which the liquor was shipped in. Lapp & Bush, Bankers Transact a Genera!

It is a dead safe gamble that if her opponents were re quired to spell her name, they went down and out one, two, three, and as many more as there were of them. What a pity it is that the nation neglected to elect the Oregonian editor president instead of Wilson. Had this been done, there would have been no Mexican trouble and the toll question of the Panama canal would have been set tled in advance. Truly a great mistake.

Marsh field Hceodr: John K. Smith, Real Reason of War Must Rest on Seem ingly Hopeless Con dition Mexico Is In By Former President WILLIAM IF the flag incident wore the only reason for our intervention it might, in view of General ITucrta'B apology, seem a very insufficient ground upon which to bring about war if war is to follow. Some have hoped that this might end with the seizure of two ports, Tamptco and Vera Cruz, and that it may not be necessary for us to proceed further. Those of tis who know the kind of war that is to follow, if there is war, tuay that this is true. THE REAL REASON FOR THE WAR, IF IT FOLLOWS IN HISTORY AND IN JUSTICE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, MUST REST UPON THE SEEMINGLY HOPELESS CONDITION THAT MEXICO IS IN. IN AN IN TERNATIONAL WAY AND A HISTORICAL SENSE WE HAVE. REACHED THE POINT WHERE OUR POSITION IN RESPECT TO THIS CONTINENT AND ALSO EUROPE IS THAT WE ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PEACE IN MEXICO, FOR MEXICO HAS CERTAINLY BECOME A NUI8ANC FROM AN INTERNATIONAL STANDPOINT. IF WE ENGAGE IN WAR OUR ONLY JUSTIFICATION IS OUR NEIGHBORLY OBLIGA TION TO GO IN AND TAANQUlLlZE THE COUNTRY. huffalnpd.
