FASTIDIOUS ASSASSINATION.
To a mere onlooker it appeal's the complaints about the
u.se of duidum bullets h a case of "gaining at a gnat
and swallow ing a camel." The only complaint against the
dumdum bullets is that they spread when they hit any
thing and consequently make a bigger hole where they
leave a man's body than where they enter it.
The complaining parties in the meanwhile droj steel
arrows from aeroplanes a mile in the air, regardless of
vhom they may kill. They are dropped in the cities where
the chance of killing women and children is far greater
than of killing a combatant. The same complainants are
firing shells loaded with a terrific explosive that does not
leave a larger hole in the poor devil who is struck, where
they leave his body than when they enter it, for the sim
ple reason that they do not leave any of his body for ex
amination. They use the bayonet, which makes a three
cornered hole in'the other fellow that is just the opposite
of the dumdum bullet. since the hole is larger on the en
trance side. However, this seems like an immaterial mat
ter to the fellow who is killed, unless he is especially
"finicky."
The dumdum was first made in India and is simply a
soft-nosed bullet sometimes hollowed at the Tack, some
times with its nose split, and as it was made by the unciv
ilized Hindus, it was bv the tribunal at The Hague tabooed
in "civilized wartare. I here seems to he no other sane
reason why it should not be used, since it is not nearly so
deadly as most of the weapons or missiles used by real
"civilized" folks in killing each other.
' After all, when a man is dead on the field of battle
what does it matter to him whether his life ebbed out
through the hole where the bullet went out, or slipped
away through the wound where the bullet went in? It is
not the dumdum bullet that is ''uncivilized and atrocious;"
it is the war itself.
Dr. Withycombe is evidently not an ardent admirer of
the initiative and referendum. At a banquet given by the
Portland Commemal Club recently, in discussing matters
of interest to Oregon from a political viewpoint, he said:
"Hut under all this new tangled government we hear so
much about lately the taxes are $1) per capita." Wonder
if the good doctor can devise a means whereby the taxes
will be decreased. Maybe he thinks the governor has
bomething to do with creating or keening down taxes. If
he should read up on the duties of the legislature.
The Pennsylvania Protective Union is accused of spend
ing large sums to aid Penrose in his fight for the senator
;hip from their state. The union cheerfully admits spend
ing the money in the campaign, but insists it was not done
to aid Penrose, but to further the principles of protective
tariff. "A rose would smell as sweet by any other name "
and so, by the way, would hydrogen gas.
It.md Rivir folks, so the (.lacier savs. are wishing most
devoutly the effect of the importation of Chinese eggs was
just as the Oregonian asserts it is. Somehow in spite or
China eggs and the clucking of the Oregonian editor, the
price of egp makes them impossible for the average
family.
Senator Burton talked nearly twelve hours in filibus
tering against the river and harbor bill. Some time in the
not very remote future the voice of Senator Burton will
not be heard at all in the senatorial chamber.
President Wilson acted promptly in protesting against
Turkey arbitrarily abrogating her treaties under which
foreigners were guaranteed certain rights. However, it
should not be overlooked that the example of ignoring
treaties is an European habit.
President Wilson is following the "watchful waiting"
policy with regard to the problem of getting the warring
nations to talk peace and it looks as though it might win.
The going back to Mexico of many old families who left
at the beginning of Huerta's reign is pretty good evidence
that they think Mexico is at last to have peace.
One of the things beyond all understanding is that!
w hen the war correspondents send a letter to some other i
point in oi uer iu nave tneir muii luxvvaiueu vwiuuuk un-
eorship, they never tell anything at all in the way of news,
or that would not be passed by the censor unless he ob
jected to its trashiness. Most of this kind of stuff is sent
evidently just to practice up on "fine writing."
When Father Kicard picked out the weather for Sep
tember he forgot to look at the many county fair dates,
or else the fair managers were remarkably poor weather
forecasters. It will be noted, though, that Father Ricard
hit the weather business dead center so far. As he prom
ises rain for state fair week, let us prayerfully hope that
his one mistake applies to that date.
Among the American industries liable to be helped by
the war is that of the woolgrowers. That the flocks of
Europe will be drawn upon heavily to feed the armies is
undoubted; and that this will result in a wool shortage Is
a certain sequence. Fifty-cent wool may yet be a possi
bility, and that the pjice will remain high for several years
seems also a certainty.
Uncle Sam is not in position to pass judgment on the
complaints of the European nations that each is guilty of
"atrocities." The evidence so far is the allegations of the
plaintiff to which the defendants have f iled only an ans
wer anil a general denial. No witnesses have been heard
and no documentary evidence offered. Until this is done
no verdict can be reached, and this will not be until after
the war.
Politicians will do well to note the fact that the Amer
ican voter has arrived at that state of advancement where
he prefers to vote for straight .candidates rather than for
a straight ticket, and this does not apply entirely to the
standpatters, either. The initiative and referendum have
knocked several kinds of spots out of politics and poli
ticians. William Watson, the English poet laureate, has written
a poem entitled "Liege," in which he extols the bravery of
the Belgians. The subject is a great one, but the same
cannot be said of the poem. In fact, if the survivors read
it, they will probably regret they did oot fall with their
comrades.
Sir Edward Grey Said to Have
Kept From Public Ger
many's Offer of Peace
While our imports have fallen off heavily, it is noted
that the English exports have also fallen off in the sum of
$100,000,000 during the month of August. At the same
time it is well to remember that these exports will have
to be made good by some other people, and "we are the
people.
That six days battle in France has gotten in aboul; the
same condition as the two negroes who were eating pos
sum on a wager. They had both eaten all placed before
them and the umpire solemnly remarked: "It am a tie.
I )e fust man dat gags loses de kittle."
"Standing shoulder to shoulder" sounds patriotic, but
that story about the burial of the dead soldiers on the
battlefield at Aisne, where they "lie shoulder to shoulder,"
is different.

THE EASIEST WAY
TO EjlDJAHDRUFF
Stop Falling Hair and Itching
Scalp.
There is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en
tirely. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of Jour
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff yon may hare.
You w ill find, too, that all itching ami
digging of the scalp will slop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feet
a hundred timet better.
If you want to keep your hair lookin?
rich, do bv all means get rid of dandruff,
for nothing destroys the hair so quickly.
It not only starves the hair and makes it
fall out. but it makes it stringy, straggly,
dull, dry. brittle and lifeless, and every
body notices it. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. It is inexpensive, andl
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known to
fail.
