UNITED STATES LEADS IN MURDER. Whether the United States predominates in other lines may be open for argument, but when it. comes to murder there is no question about our leading the world. A com parison with the murder rates in other countries, not counting the murders committed under the name of war, shows London has one murder, or a trifle less, each year for every 100,000 population. Paris has 3.5 and Berlin 2. In New York the number is 7, in San Francisco 1:.M and in New Orleans 24.5. Charleston reports 150 as her yearly quota, Savanah 48 and Memphis holds the record with 68 for each 100,000 population yearly. Another feature about those gruesome statistics is rather surprising, too; and that is that 81 cut of 100 murders are committed by native born Americans. The reason for this is the false senti mentality with which we view murderers, and the laxity of punishment. It is not the abolishment 'of the death pen alty that causes murder to be so common, but the absence of any punishment. It is not the severity of the punish ment that deters criminals, but ts certainty. Imprison ment for life is punishment enough if it necessarily fol lowed the crime, but between sentimental jurors and per verted public sentiment about one in ten of the murderers in this country are punished at all. The "unwritten law" and all that kind of tommy-rot is back of our excelling all other countries in the way of murder. . EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. "NOT PEACE, BUT A SWORD." Some highly optimistical folks think the time is ripe for nations not mixed up in the European war to take some steps toward bringing about peace. If this could be accomplished, it of course should be done, but instead of peace being in sight, or the countries ready for it, just the other condition prevails. - Dispatches a day or so ago. telling of Portugal giving) her war minister the right to declare war against Ger- j many at any time, shows the feeling there, and yesterday i a story came from Servia that some fifteen Russian regi-! ments had arrived at Radnivatz, Servia, to assist in her j defense. This indicates that Roumania has allowed the ! Russians to violate her neutrality and that she has made j a bargain with Russia, under which she will join the allies ! in return for a generous slice of Austria, when the war is over and the carving of that country begins. j If Roumania gets in, it is almost a certainty that the ' other Balkan states will also throw their aid to the allies. This will force Italy to take part, and against Germany and Austria, as she also wants a slice of Austrian terri-, tory. Over and above all, this action by Roumania and Por tugal indicates the ideas of those states as to who will win, as they are not anxious to get in on the losing side. The Krupp gun factory is the most prosperous com pany in Germany. Since the war started it has declared a dividend of 12 per cent and increased its capital stock to four times what it was. War may be what Sherman said it was, but it has a more roseate coloring from the viewpoint of the Krupps and that class. CHAMP CLARK SEES MOTOR CAR BUILT WHAT OTHER LAWMAKEBS IN WASHINGTON" THINK OF THE MAXWELL FEAT i .ILM. It is just as well that there is no Thanksgiving day in Europe, for it would bother most folks there to discover something to be thankful for. This, by the way, should make them thankful that they have no Thanksgiving day. The "Shop Now" campaign initiated by the Consum ers' league of Ohio has a two-fold motive. Early Christ mas shopping always gives the purchaser an advantage. This year, business conditions imperatively require early buying. This is a moment of the greatest dislocation of Ameri can industry by the European war. This is the period when merchants long for customers and manufacturers yearn for orders, and when employes dread dismissal. Shopping now will not only enable purchasers to select with care and calmness, to remember everyone, and in every way get completest satisfaction in the Christmas buying. It will also give to all the consciousness that they are diminishing the area of charity by keeping people at work at a time of the most urgent need for employment. There is economy, not extravagance, in buying as early is possible. Since the supply of Christmas things, which has come largely from Germany, Belgium and France, is entirely cut off, prices must rapidly rise as the stocks on hand in this country become exhausted. "It's the early bird that gets the worm," and it's the early buyer that get's the bargain, particularly this year. Richard Croker, the Tammany brave who wed yester day, is far from gallant, and from his remarks is evident ly of the opinion he is doing a bad thing in getting mar ried. To a newspaper man, who wanted a story about it the bis chief said: "When a man does a good thing, the newspapers never mention it When he doea a bad thine they hound him for years. I will not discuss it." It would soenf that the Tammany sachem thinks the newspapers are already "hounding" him, and that he thinks he is do ing a bad thing. Looking at the Tacoma papers' advertising columns convinces one that if no one else struck oil at lenino the newspapers certainly did. The papers are filled with ad vertisements of oil stocks. It is with the oil companies a case of "strike while the iron's hot" or the oil fresh. Each advertisement solemnly asserts the stocks will be doubled in a few days, which suggests that it would be a shame to rob the owners of that 100 per cent profit since they have held on so long and faithfully. Governor Blease of South Carolina made 75 prisoners in the state prison of his state happy and gave them real grounds for giving thanks by pardoning them. It is stated lie has pardoned 1110 in the past four years and that there are now only about 100 in the South Carolina state prison. How some of the Portland papers would enjoy getting out an issue in Charleston and expressing an opinion on the pardoning power generally.

Governor George W. 1'. Hunt had reached no de cision regarding the fate of 11 mur derers who aro condemned to die nt the Florence penitentiary December 111. While he hus definitely abandoned his proposed object lesson of hanging the 11 siinultnneoualy, it became apparent today that his bund may be lorced. The men had been reprieved until le cenibrr 1ft, nnd, according to unoffi cial legal opinion they must tiic on that date unless tho governor extends the reprieves. Warden Sims, of the Florence prison, reaffirmed today his intention of re signing if he is instructed to hang the 11 men on one gallows. He refused sternly to permit any one to seek the opinion ou the proposed hanging bee of the II punitive principals. A flood of petitions "and pleas against the proposed wholesrie execu tions continued to puur in on the gov ernor today. SAME OLD PLEA TO BE MADEBYATTORNEYS Poitland, Ore., Nov. 27.

The only sure way to tret rid of dand ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces ot ordinary uquid arvon ; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and hy morning most it not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy, every single sign nnd trace of it, no mat ter how much dandruff you may have. lou will tind. too, that all itclimrr and digging of the scalp wilt stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you want to preserve your hair, do try nil means get rid of damlrult, for nothing destroys the hair more quickly. it not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straaulv. dull, dry, brittle nnd lifeless, and every one notices it. You can get liquid arvon at any tirttg store. 11 is inexpensive auu never fuils to do the work. Sacrifice Sale of Real Estate Must be sold this week.
