A LESSON FOR
Ono nf trip f.nfrnr,r,iricr fpflr.lU'PS nf thp ni'Psent WOl'ld-
conflict, in its way quite as
preparedness, has been and
, . . . .i
action between tne various lorces mar. maKe up unusa
national life, says the Minneapolis Farm, Stock & Home.
There has been no dearth of men, nor of willingness to
sacrifice for one's country. Rather what appears to be
the matter, judged from this distance, is a class loyalty
to one's trade or business superior to that given to the
state. So we find Lloyd-George, after eighteen months
of war, pleading for more munitions. Strikes for higher
wages occur. It is broadly hinted that graft similar to
that indulged in by our own Civil War contractors, is not
wholly' unknown. Selfishness tinges the whole atmosphere
of British internal politics.
This is personal liberty gone mad. When everybody
is anxious to squeeze a bit of extra profit out of the peril
ous position in which the empire finds itself placed, the
empire itself is in grave danger, and far more so from
within than from withoiU.
Such a situation did not arise over night. It is the
natural attitude of masses of men trained to class con-
' sciousness by interested and selfish leaders who present
to them the plea that they are the underlings the down
trodden, and that they must "burst the shackles" that
bind them. For the most part such arguments are rot!
There never has been a time since history began when
labor had as little to complain of and as much to be thank
ful for as it has right now. It is better housed, better
clothed, better fed than ever before. It is true that labor
is not getting the full reward of its toil. But what the
agitators do. not let the workingmen see is that the
methods adopted to force higher wages are self-destruc-
' tive. Limit a man's production per day to a set number
of pieces and you destroy efficiency, progress, the very

Develop sloth in a man and you get what goes with it
indifference to the higher ideals, squalid living, drunken
ness, a chronic state of anarchistic poverty. This is what
the false teachings of blatherskite class leaders have done
f or and to the workingman of England; this is what
similar teaching is doing to the workingman of America.
It is high time that we take home to ourselves the bit
ter lesson of British class pettiness, and eject it from our
national life wherever it has found a foothold. It is far
more important that we all rise together than that one
group rises above the rest. It will avail us little to set our
class above our fellows if while doing so the national life
that gives us being and that guards us falls into decay.

THE GRACE
"What we need in the first place and the last," says
an eminent New York preacher, "is the grace to get mad
and to keep mad. Citizenship that lies down, content to
let itself be robbed, abused, made a byword of, is bad
citizenship. I prefer the company of the man who does
the robbing and abusing, any day, to that of the fellow
who tamely submits to it. The crooked politician wants
no softer snap than non-resistance in the citizen."
These vigorous remarks do not apply to New York
alone. They apply with equal force to all sections of our
blessed country. If there is anything that the common
citizen knows nothing whatever about it is public affairs.
The average free and independent American citizen gen
erally manages to know something about his own private
business, and a good deal about his neighbor's business,
but that which is the most vital business of both public
business gives him the least concern.
The old adage "what is everybody's business is no
body's business" finds striking exemplification in the at
titude of the average citizen toward public business.
Carranza's soldiers have just executed Villa's chief
executor. We trust that they performed the job in a way
to satisfy his artistic taste and skill in the profession of
murdering.

to December 31, 101.1, will receive $5,
808.72 from the state while Multnomah
receives $.'10,810.11. Tho total amount
received by the nee rotary of state from
Marion eounty motorists was $7,230.;0
and from this sum was subtracted $1,
441.7S to pay for the cost of the li
cense plates, chauffeur badges, postage,
limiting, and clerk hire.
For the year 1915 a total of $R7,20.V
(W will be returned to the counties out
of 108,881.50 collected by the state.
In 101 1 the counties received $01,000.80
and in 101.1 they received $4:1.470.0.
Secretary of .State Olcott has -just
Icompleied the apportionment to the
j ,.ountics of the monies received from

for 1015. The total receipts amounted;
to 10S.HS1.no. Of this amount .87,2:0.-1

cent of the total receipts, in 1014 the
cost was 8 .'1-10 per cent, and in '
it was 8 2-10 per cent. From the bes
information obtainable Oregon pays as
little us or less than any other state for
its license plates these now costing

( entrants for these have never been al
lowed to go outside the state and aro ('
