THE ENSLAVING OF OREGON , The car shortage hearing shows how little the inter ests of Oregon are considered by the railroad companies, compared with California, Washington and other coast states. Our mills and factories are closing down one after another and our produce is delayed on its vyay to avi,Pt hPrnnse there are no cars available for use on the Oregon lines. States to the north and south are plenti fully supplied. . . L n o Why this discrimination against Oregon I ' This state at present is in the hands of the friends of the railroads and big corporations from go yernor down They are continually ding-donging about 'freak laws which are hurting the state. They are pleading for safe id sane legislation-and everything that pleases the borate interests looks safe and sane to them. The sway of the corporation in Oregon is absolute at the present time. Down in California and up in Washington the are more "freak" laws on-the statute books than in any other two states in the union. Governor Hiram Johnson has fought the railroad corporations ever since he was old enough to fight anything-and that w?S pi-etty voung because he comes of fighting stock. Govemoi Earnest ?

The latest worry tor King umsianune ing to late dispatches yesterday, was the revolt of the island of Crete which renounced its allegiance to him. The little country has been playing around the edge of the maelstrom for some time and sooner or later she is cer tain to fall in. . Mr. H. G. Wells, a war correspondent who has been on all the battle fronts, predicts the war will end in June. He bases his prediction on what he thinks is indisputable evidence the Teutons are beaten. He calls attention to the fact that on all the fronts, the Teuton allies are giving way, losing many prisoners, and as on the Somme driven from their stronger positions and fighting desperately but hopelessly in the weaker ones, but losing steadily. From these things which he claims are correct, he draws the conclusion that any way, by June 1917 the Germans will make formal demand for peace. Others with whom he is contact at the front, he says, fix the date of the war's ending at August, 1917. There is but a difference of a couple of months but those claiming August as the date also assert the Germans will make an official bid for peace before the year is out, probably by October, and that the terms will have been arranged and the end really reached by August of next year. It must be remembered though that this estimate is made by Germany's enemies who have always underesti mated her strength and her resources. As the Teutons fall back their lines are shortened and to that extent strengthened, and it is an open question at least, whether when they have been forced back to their own territories, if they are so forced back, the allies will be able to make any further gains. Mr. Wells also calls attention to the fact that the German supply of munitions is getting shy while that of the allies is increasing all the time. This latter phase of the situation, if true, is the most dangerous feature of the outlook for Germany. Ex-President Taft in a copyrighted article published recently says he intended to recognize Huerta as pres ident of Mexico and would have done so had it not been that Huerta became president only about eleven days be fore his own time expired and he did not want to em barrass the incoming president. Mr. Wilson. Mr. Taft did well to copyright that article and so prevent its being reprinted to any great extent' He would have done bet ter had he never written it. He says it was never proved that Huerta killed Madero, and that the action of Pres iHpnt. Wilson in holding him cuiltv was "immature diplomacy." No one doubts Huerta being directly re sponsible for Madero's death, for he was -the one to profit by it, and he saw that none of those implicated in thnt. rnldhlonded murder was ever punished. . Mr. Taft having no case descends to very pitiful pettifogging. Rather a nitiful storv comes from Los, Angeles of Harry Knowland, a newspaper reporter who ended his 1 s TXT 1 1 m ' A 1 A. J? l ? lite vveanesaay alter writing ms own siory oj. ms buiwue. His death unsealed the lins of a friend, who says Know- land was married to a little crippled wife. She loved and wanted children of her own but this was 1 denied her. Behind closed doors. Knowland and the little motherly wife kept a life sized doll which they pretended was their baby and planned for its future, living a life of "make be lieve." The doll was buried in the coffin with its "mother." and Knowland came west, stopping at Los Angeles. It was grief over his wife's death that caused him to commit suicide. Truly there are more things this side of heaven than "are dreamed of in our philosophy. San Francisco is worried because Emmy Destin is held a prisoner in Austria on account of her pro-ally sentiments. She was to sing in the monster open air production of "Aida," was in fact the prima donna, and the production of the opera is held up. The state, depart ment has been appealed to and has requested Austria to permit her to come to America to fill her-engagements. Thus do sensitive ears as well as rotund stomachs feel the effects of war. II nf fi Fnrnilmont v. vi v. jii uuiuvin ' THE TATTLER Will Be Above 2,000 ; J I'jiiversity of Oregon, Eugene, Sept. 22.

Thursday Night for Children s Welfare Mrs. Lvdia Munce has the distinction of being the first woman in the state of Washington to be arrested as a "Lazy Husband." She deserted her husband and chil dren in Tacoma and went to Seattle, two rather heinous offenses, but has been taken back and presumably told to support her family or go to jail.

Through the weary weeks he'd tilled it only nightfall made him stop hoping I by his toil to build it into something like a crop. It was perishing forwater, and the heavens leaked no more; every day was fiercer, hotter, than the day that went be fore. And it seemed to John the granger, as he watched his corn crop go, that hence forth he d be a stranger to all things but ; grief and woe. But when once suspense was ended, and ; he knew the crop was gone, "Next year's crop may well 1 be splendid, and I'll bank on that," said John. "Two bad i years don't come together that would be too fierce, gad- zooks!. So next year we'll have such weather as we read i about in books." Thus the buoyant, hopeful mortal rises I when the worst is known, to surprise yoti with a chortle when you're looking for a groan. CHAPTKR XXVIII. I stood in the doorway for a moment j before I spoke. Clifford was drawing on his gloves, and I thought what a handsome man he was, and how I would have loved him if he had treated me differently. "Will 1 do?'.' I finally asked. "T should sav vou would! You real- Iv look stunning. Mildred. I'm glad you are learning how to dress, l like a woman I go out with to be up-to-date." I was so pleased that I slipped out of my wrap and danced around before him so that he might see my gown. "Is it too low I have never worn nn ent so low before." "Xo, it ia just right, and the color suits vou perfectly. 1' m soe ?oar hnt. ' ' I put out my slippered foot. Both stockings and slippers exactly matched mv gown. "They are all right. Come on, now, or we will be late. There's the taxi now. Just before we reached tne theatre "Oh, that would be lovely!" I en thused. Then I wondered if I had tnk- eu more pains to be like the older wo men Clifford knew, had thought more of style and clothes, if he would have been any different? Anyway, he nev er should have a chance to find fault on that score with me again. The play was a comedy drama which did not interest tne very much. Clif ford was immensely amused and laugh ed constantly. I was too much occupied with my own thoughts to be taken with the humor of the plav. Why eouldn t Clifford be like this all the timet I wondered." If he were I would soon forget all that had passed nnd love mm. it wouldn't ne hard Then over me swept the thought of the gayest restaurants to Bupper. There wsi dancing, and as I loved to dance, and Clifford danced well. I was delighted. The Cabaret "Can we dance!" I asked. "Not now. Perhaps later. I'll aee. I don't much care to have my wife dance in these public places, but w may take one turn." Clifford ordered a daintv little sup per, everything I liked. Then he'ehat ted and told me stories until I was really happy. After we had finished ho ordered coffee, and said: "Come on, we'll dnuce this two-step while they are bringing the coffee."

I heard a man at the Sett table re mark: "I wonder who Hammond's got witk himt She's young, but she's a beauty." Clifford had also heard. As we rose from the table he said: "You see, 'my dear, others think yoa look well tonight, too." "Oh, I'm so happy, and thank yom for bringing me," I answered, almost bashfullv. when he left me ill with my newborn baby and I knew that I should never forgive him for. that. But I would never mention it, and so we could be happy, "Don't you enjoy the playt" he ask ed during intermission. "Oh, yes!" I assured him.
