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.

The news comes from Missouri that Miss Ahrenhoerst
erbaumer has been declared the victor in a spelling match.
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.
The net results of the colonel's visit to the wilds of
South America is that for future geography students
there will be "one more river to cross," and so far it seems
to be the river of Doubt.

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.

OPEN FORUM.
To the Editor: I will thank .you for
space iu which to offer my protest
against the desecration of May 30, Me
morial day, for purely commercial pur
poses. This is one day in nil the year
sacred to all G. A. R. men. Every
state, nearly, in the Union has set it
apart by law that the heroes that gave
their lives for tho preservation of the
Union may be suitably commemorated.
I doubt the Sincerity of the people who
advertise an attractive program for the
very hour set tor O. A. R. exorcises,
especially after tho leading figure, our
mayor, had positively declined to take
part and said he would not be there.

SAVE YOUR EYES
Marvelous Home Treatment Does It.
HEADACHES BANISHED,
Try This Tree Prescription.
Do your eyes aehot Do they itch and
burn? Would you like to dispense with
your glasses? Are you troubled with
headi'hes? If so, here's a free prescrip
tion for yon.
A New York physician comes forth
with the edict that glasses must go.
These windows are, in many cases,
merely crutches, and you might just as
well expect crutches to cure rheuma
tism as to expect all eye trouble to be
cured by glasses. Many wear glasses
who would not require them if they
took proper care of their eves.
This simple home remedy will aston
ish you after a few applications. It is
absolutely harnwess in every way. You
may use it in a baby's eye without
the slightest fear of injury. The eyes
need a bath just as do other organs.
The eyes are'.constantly throwing off
poisonous matter, and, unless it is
washed away, weak, inflamed eyes are
apt to result.
We publish this prescription so the
readers of this paper may reap benefit.
Persons having granulated lids will ap
preciate the comfort and relief this pre
scription gives, Inflamed, watery eyes,
or eyes which look dull .and glassy,
will be greatly improved after a rea
sonable trial of this remarkable
remedy.
Po not become a victim of neglect.
Cut out this prescription and go to
your uearest drug stow and get a box
of Optona Tablets; dissolve one in a
two-ounce bottle of pure water and
apply four times daily. Note how your
eyes will clear up and how refreshed
they will foeL Headaches due to tired
eyes quickly disappear.
Yon will then thank us for calling
your attention to this valuable pre
scription. In the package you will
find a valuable, instructive booklet,
which gives a vast amount of intensely
interesting information pertaining to
eye disorders. It should be in every
home. Many wh(f are hopelessly blind
put off eve protection until it was too
late.
