Flume Main 82. Strange things happen in elections, which frequently ' illustrate the carelessness or lack of interest on the part of the average voter. For instance, a man named Hurl hmi was nominated in the republican primaries last j spring for joint representative from Multnomah and Clackamas counties. Atterwara it aeveiopea inat ne nau been engaged in criminal, or questionable affairs which made him a most undesirable candidate, and the republi can central committee repudiated him, too late to get his name off the ballot. An address was issued by the com mittee, however, warning the voters of the party not to support him and advising them to vote for his opponent. In spite of this fact, on election day uurioun was given a splendid majority, running well up with the rest of the ticket. Such incidents are a reflection upon popular gov ernment, as the average voter views his responsibilities and guards his interest. OPEN FORUM A BUSINESS THAT IS BOOMING. The manufacture of automobiles in this country is an industry that seems to be passing through the trying period without skidding, back-fire, or puncture of a tire. Wni- nnlv are Inrfw orders beintr placed for trucks for war purposes by the belligerant governments, but the domestic demand lor macnmes Keeps up. iu ""' nf tVi hnmo domand for automobiles, when the de- mand for many other articles has decreased, is attributed mostly to the fact that the manufacturers of automobiles have not been much affected by the scare and have kept their advertising and sales activities. They have acted as though nothing had happened, and nothing has hap Mark Sullivan, editor of Collier's Weekly, at the re cent Ad Affiliation meeting at Detroit, said in an address: "With one of the advertising men here I figured out to day that the gross value ot the automooiies mai nave uee 0u , tho United States in the past ten years was about a billion and a half dollars.. We figured out that two per cent of that passed into advertising. 'I wo per cent oi tnai would be thirty million dollars." , Am,inff tb inrerestine figures given by a Detroit banker afthe American Bankers' Association meeting at Richmond, Va., was the fact that there are au tomobiles in us in this country, with an approximate fig ure of 450,000 cars for the next twelve momns, promo tion, to be sold by 15,500 dealers. He said there are 450 listed manufacturers of motor vehicles, including 170 making gasoline pleasure cars, 24o commercial gasoline cars, 77 cycle cars 27 motor fire ap paratus, 18 electric pleasure cars, and 24 electric commer cial vehicles. ' , ' ' . '', 9f)t rnrtwm. ' He showed that exports last year were $11,500,000, that 47 per cent of the cost of an automobile is in the labor- that future markets lie not alone in the farming dis tricts and the middle classes, who can afford the low maintenance cost of the present-day models, but that the foreign countries must buy a large number ot our cars in the future. THE BIRD ON THE HAT. The Oregonian suggests that "between now and the1 , 1 1 i ' j. - i i ' i rv,rtvrtv iuext campaign me journalistic muu-sungeis m uicguu should consume a little of the milk of human kindness and decency. It would get them further." Very good advice it is. It should be added that some of the Portland edi tors should study the tariff so they understand it, and then read the story of Ananias and Saphira before using their knowledge in boosting politics or politicians. The Oregonian Wednesday morning stated that while we were getting eggs from China the country was ex porting millions of them to England. Never thought of such a thing until the election was over. The demand for American barbed wire for the pur pose of herding one another off battlegrounds and away from each other in Europe is so great that American farms may have to go unfenced. Someone has counted the words on the California bal lot and found there are more than 120,000 of them. An other case of misplaced words and also wasted language. Germany has a great surplus of sugar and no means of getting it to market. We could use lots of it on this side and woulcWike awfully well to trade her cotton for it. From the overwhelming vote against raising the pay of legislators, it is evident the voters think the law makers are paid all they are worth. All the news does not come from the war zone. East Stayton sent in quite a bunch of it yesterday in the way of election news. . T A Profound Question. I goe where a Mr. White, of Chicago, is to lecture tonight on "National Hrosperity and International reace. While there are many questions anil Droblems callimr for attention and waiting solution, yet tnere is no ques tion more urging than that of Peace and frosoenty. Without prosperity tnere can oe no lasting peace, witnout peace, pros perity is endangered. A great variety of remedies have been advanced by students and fadists as to how pros perity may be assured, and, as to how peace may become permanently estab lished. When we shall have discovered and agreed upon the eause of industrial aud business depression and periodical pan ics, it will be less difficult to deal witn the situation. When the cause of want and poverty Hhall have been fully revealed, it will be easier to find tho remedy. What is war? What lies behind it? It is generally conceded that the pres ent wur (despite other claims) is the inevitable result of abnormal industrial ism, causing insane jealousy in the rivnlry for foreign markets. Thus Germany became jealous of England's commercial supremacy, while England feared Germany as a possible rival' in tho markets of the world. Jealousy, selfishness, greed for gold, lust for world favor; these nre tho prime movers in this awful catastropre, which is destroying today the flavor of manhood in all of the countries in volved in this barbarious carnage. What difference does it make who may prove tho real provoker or ag gressor, the kaiser of Germany, the czar or Kussia, or the king or hugltindi Are not the peoples the working masses (who have no quarrel with each other) the working classes of all countries, whose hnppiiuw lies in prosperity and peace, are not those the real snfrcrersf who must fight the bat ties and spill their blood now, and later pny the taxes for generations to come ( Let us sincerely hope that the light or that higher dispensation of truth love and wisdom, which we cnll Chris tianty, which tenches love, even to one's enemies, which teaches peace nnd brotherliness which reveals Hod's in finite Fatherhood expressing itself in Mnu's world-wide Brotherhood, let us hope and work for the fulfilling of the divine mission of Jesus and of his great gospel that war strife sin poverty nnd death shall be suffered no more, but that the blessings of peace and prosperity may enrich the lives of all niniuiind. If .Mr. White has found a sure remedy ami n true way out of the present wilderness let us go aud hear his nies Bage. ' " v Unitarian. A fashion note says new skirts are to be of cotton and made wide. Now don't you wish you had bought a bale? End of the Season ' ' "Audubon hats" are now being of fered in the shops at prices to suit the tastes and purses of purchasers, of as fine material and make as any constructed of feathers torn from the quivering bodies of living birds. The scheme is a practical demonstration of the lact that fine hats can be had without fine feathers, and that it is therefore unnecessary as well as cruel to destroy the lives of the birds for their plumage. For many years the Audubon societies have buen wag ing relentless war upon the destroyers of our pretty and imeful friends, the pest-consuming birds. With patience their official and unofficial members have been explain ing how these busy friends of the farmer and fruit-grower protect the grains and the fruits by devouring their enemies, and pleading that they, in turn, may be protect ed against their enemies, the ruthless pot-hunters and feather-seekers. , . ., . Both of these classes have been murderous in their work, until several varieties of useful birds that were for merly enormously plentiful, such as the prairie chicken and the passenger pigeon, are now nearly or wholly ex tinct. Many of the sweetest song birds have become pcaree. , , . . ... The Audubon societies succeeded in securing the in sertion of a clause in the new tariff law forbidding the mlmioairm t.n this omintrv of feathers for milliners' use in any form or from any part of the world in all cases where procuring the leathers involves me ucaui ui um uu, Sidney precinct did not make two bites of a cherry, but went to the polls nnd dropped in 71 ballots against prohibition and only 21) for. Sidney is not inclined to aridity of the thorax if it can be prevented. It also has a strong opinion as the value of the services of the average law-maker, voting 71) to 9 against raising his salary. Vic tor Point, however, had still less idea of the value of n legislator's services, voting 99 to 5 against paying them $5.00 a day.
