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.

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.

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,

strong opinion as the value of the services of the average
law-maker, voting 71) to 9 against raising his salary. Vic

legislator's services, voting 99 to 5 against paying them
