ALL TARIFFS
The Oregonian commenting on the Capital Journal's
statement that "the Oregonian thinks it a crime to per
mit anything to be imported to the United States," says
"the Capital Journal does not distinguish between a pro
tective and a prohibitive tariff." There is no difference
to distinguish, except in degree. Every tariff for protec
tion must, to a certain extent, be prohibitixe, else there
would be no use for it. If it did not keep the foreign
made goods out of this country to some extent it would
avail nothing. However, discussing me iai m 10 a uoc.
diversion. It has never benefited labor ana never win
n w ma.la nrmntless millionaires bv its system of per
mitting the American manufactures to collect from
Americans an additional profit for their goods and has
thus placed them in the position where they, and not the
government, levy a tax upon all the rest of the people. It
is a great thing for the manufacturer practically, and for
the laborer theoretically. The former gets his first-hand

Platinum has advanced in price $20 within the past
few days. It is now quoted at from $80 to $86 an ounce,
or about four times as much as gold. The cause is said
to be the shutting of this country off from the Russian
supply, and the recent demand for the metal for jewelry.
This should stir the black sand miners down Coos Bay
way to renewed efforts, as that is the only section of the
United States producing this mineral in what might be
called commercial quantities. The placers of the Siski
yous all produce some platinum, and the blatfc sands ; ot
the Coos and Curry county beaches are rich in it. When
some one discovers a workable process for saving it and
the fine gold of these black sands, that section will be the
platinum center of the world.
' ; Yesterday Villa was alive again and at the head of an
army of some three hundred in the morning half of whom
were killed, wounded or captured before night in a well
worded report of the Carranza commander. nether he
is dead again by this time, of course is unknown, but with
his versatility and celerity in shuffling off his mortal coil,
or whatever he wears, it is not at all unlikely that he is
dead again or at least badly wounded. It is rather a
strange coincidence that he came to life the last time the
day the Oregon regiment was ordered home. Sometime
he will slip a cog and forget to come back when he is
killed. .
If yesterday's report is correct, and there are no de
lays, the Third regiment should starting soon, be home
early next week. This being the case it is time some steps
be taken to give them a warm welcome home. If the
strike should materialize which now does not seem prob
able, there might be some delay, though it is understood
the railroad men will move any and all military trains no
matter what comes. It is understood the boys will be
taken to camp Withycombe and will stop here but a short
time as they pass through. This being the case no elabor
ate reception can be given them, but anyway all Salem
will be there to see them and say "Hello Rookies.
The House passed the eight hour bill yesterday in
record breaking time and if the program is carried out
the senate may have passed the bill and the president
signed it by the time this is in print. It was thought yes
terday the president might get the bill by special mes
senger while at Long Beach being informed the demo
crats have named him as their, candidate for president.
The indications this morning are that it will be night be
fore the bill is on its way to the president as the senate
vjtes on it at 4 o'clock.

TO MAKE ENGLAND BE GOOD
The administration is taking steps to make England
sit up and take notice. Heretofore she has paid no atten
tion to America's protest against interference with her
trade. The blacklist was the last straw and the worm
turned. An amendment to the shipping bill recently
passed gives the secretary of the treasury discretionary
power to refuse clearence papers to all ships refusing to
take American merchandise on other grounds than lack
of space. An amendment to the revenue bill empowers
the president in his discretion to prohibit the importation
of products which cannot be imported into foreign coun
tries from this country. These amendments have greatly
disturbed our friend John, and he may get sensible again.
If not, it is quite probable all shipments of munitions will
be stopped. England has started something she cannot
get away with, and as the pendulum always swings as far
one way as the other, she may expect some things she has
not heretofore considered at all. When she commenced
rubbing it in on Uncle Sam she showed exceedingly poor
judgment.
Neither Mr. Hughes nor
tion has had a word to say regarding the impending rail
road strike. The presidential candidate has been afraid
to take a position apparently, but the moment the trouble
is settled he may be expected
Having no constructive ideas
whines about the way Wilson has done things and ad
mittedly he has done more things of a constructive sort
than any president who ever occupied the executive
chair.
All day yesterday there was a procession of rigs out
ward bound from Salem with clearence papers for the
many hop yards. At the same time clouds gathered and
the weather man intimated there might be rain. These
two things are indisputable evidence that hop picking
time is at hand. Besides the weather has to practice up
at this time of the year for the state fair.
The profits o fthe Ford company for the year are
stated to be $59,867,347, or $1,500,000 a week. Carried
further it means nearly $200,000 a day. It would take all
of Oregon's lumber and grain crop for an entire year to
pay just the profits of that one factory.
We know that the railroads are opposed to the Adam
son eight hour day bill for railroad men now pending in
the senate because Congressman Pat McArthur, of
Portland, voted against it.
If the Russians had a reasonable amount of assistance
from their western allies they might make things really
interesting for the kaiser.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING -
The farmers raise so many crops the har
vest season never stops. They're always
reaping oats or hay, or putting winter
wheat away; alfalfa helps to pay their
debts, and keeps the world in cigarettes,
and they have corn and Johnson grass, and
sorghum, ripe and garden sass. So, be the
weather dry or wet, some crop will be a
good safe bet. The beans may shrivel in
the heat, but there'll be divers kinds of
wheat; the oats may languish in the rain,
but there'll be lots of other grain. The
cockleburs may pine away, but there'll be stacks of lusci
ous hay. The western farmers used to raise but little else
than yellow maize, and if a crop they chanced to lose, in
wintertime they ate their shoes. Crop failure meant a
famine then ; the fields were full of hungry men. But now
the corn may die the death, may wither in the hot wind's
breath, and still the farmers tool their cars, and smoke
the crimson-band cigars, and take to town the shining
bones, and buy a peck of precious stones.

LACK OF CARS MAT

Portland. Ore., Sept. 2. Willamette
Vnllev Lumber manufacturers are pre
paring to bring civil suits for damages
in the federal courts against the South
ern Pacific railroad over alleged busi
ness losses due to the car shortage.
J. N. Teal, attorney for the lumber
men, has been asked" to start proceed
ings, and it is probable that action will
be instituted early next week. Mr.
Teal left last night on a business visit
to Coos Bay and is expected to tile suit
upon his return.
Mr. Teal said lust night, "we are not
courting trouble with our friends, tlrt
Southern Pacific. What we want is
cars. The car shortage is growing
more serious every day. and some mills
are suffering extensively." Lumbermen
at almost every point in the valley
arc complaining at the inability or
failure of the Southern Pacific to sup
ply them with cars.
J. S. Bracker, manager of the Sheri
dan Lumber company's mill nt Sheri
dan, Ore., was in Portlaud yesterday,
and reported that his property will be
forced to close today, and for the sole
reason that he can't get the cars to
move his lumber.
Stock on Hand Immense.
The company has an immense stock
of lumber on hand and all available
space is filled with lumber ready for
shipment. The Sheridan Lumber com
pany employs 100 men, all of whom
will be thrown out of employment in
definitely. 'Wait a moment, ladv: wait until
the car stops."
"Will you please not address me as
lady, sir?" she said, sharply.
"I beg your pardon, madam," said
the conductor. "The best of us are apt
to make mistakes."

But Mandy. true to her promise, tried
to do as her young mistress had bid
den her and disclose nothing of the
state of affairs between iter and her
husband. Vet in spite of herself, her
care, she gave the anxious father more
of an idea how things were going than
she realized.
"Is he good and kind to her, Man

"Oh ya'as. Marse Sutton, she ken

"Why do you sieh and call her nore

different? It's not U on account of'
her illness, I'm sure." Then, without
waiting for a reply, "Has she niadel

she know any young people? Does
