DR. LYMAN ABBOTT'S DREAM In making his report as chairman of the board of directors of the Southern Pacific recently Chairman Kruttschnitt said the company would bring suit to test the question as to whether his company had the right to sell the timber from the forfeited Oregon-California rail road lands, so long as the lands could be sold after the timber was removed, at $2.50 per acre. He said he hoped the supreme court would pass on this in its decision in the case now before it, the appeal from Judge Wolver ton's decision that the road had only a $2.50 interest in the lands. Mr. Kruttschnitt claims that under the supreme court decision the United States cannot con fiscate its lands, and that under this decision the South ern Pacific owns the lands and can hold them so long as it desires to, the only condition qualifying its ownership in fee simple, being that if it should ever sell the lands it must follow the directions of the granting act and dis pose of them in quantities not greater than 160 acres to one person and at a price not exceeding $2.50 per acre t rom Mr. Kruttschnitt s statement it would appear that fthe settlement ot this land grant question is in the re mote luture. It is quite probable at least that it will be some years before the irreducible school fund gets swelled up over its income from that source. Henry Ford says that the eight-hour day has been the rule in his shops for three years and that his company has made more money since adopting it. He says it will help business to make the eight hour day general, and that those who oppose it do not understand their busi ness. Speaking of the tariff this same hardheaded busi nessman says : "I want to say that it is nothing but a hot house remedy. It may make business sprout for a little while but its effect is artificial and it never can produce a hardy business plant." Ford was not talking politics but business, and from a business standpoint. i THE TATTLER J People with all sorts of taste, and even with no taste at all, declare the fair a great success. All Salem went to the fair yesterday.' Even those who had decided not to go couldn't resist the weather. Dr. Lyman Abbott tells in the Outlook what he would have done had he been president instead of Mr. Wilson. For one thing he would have picked, so he says, "a lot of advisors who placed duty ahead of safety or anything else. He would have invited men as counsellors who would advise him how to fulfill the nations obligations, never how to escape them. At the beginning of the war he would have told Germany that if she violated the neu trality of Belgium she would alienate all the sympathies nf thp. American neonle at the outset of the war." Some of our strongly republican exchanges while criticising President Wilson for sending so many notes, applaud this latter senumeni oi ui auuuu.. tvuum wc icuiug of Germany by "President" Abbott have had any more piTpH- nn that country than sending her a note? As a matter of fact how could Mr. Abbott have communicated with Germany other than by sending her a note contain in his hunch? As for his surrounding himself with the angelic crew the good doctor dreams oi it is a saie uei that he would have if he had undertaken to assemble an assortment of the kind he dreams of, have had a bunch no one of whom would have agreed with any other. Henry Ford made such a selection and inside of a week most of them were not on speaking terms with each other. The doctors insinuation that President Wilson had gathered as his advisors men who would advise him how to avoid the nation's obligations is unworthy of him, be cause, it is absolutely false, He was indulging in a day dream "where every prospect pleases," but he overlooked the fact that "only man is vile." He would control men and situations by appealing to men's more noble ideals, but how much effect would such appeals have had on Germany, England or any other of the nations now at each other's throats? If his appeals had not been heeded what would he have done? Sent word again to the kaiser that the Americans were real mad because he had violated Belgium's neutrality? And if the kaiser per sisted in his course, what then? The Southern Pacific reports an increased net income for the year of fifty per cent. At the same time Mr. Kruttschnitt of its board of directors says that if the Brotherhoods demands are granted the road will have to have still higher rates. When a big corporation kills a fat polled Angus beef critter it always generously do thp burns to the poor and needy. To meet an in creased cost of say a million it would consider itself I Habit is a great, and an unexplainable thing. Monday harshlv treated if it was not permitted to take twenty .'the weather bureau predicted fair weather, and every old Judge Langguth has discovered a new jag cure, it being nothing more rare or costly than just buttermilk. The judge says all one has to do is to drink enough of it and the desire for whiskey will vanish. Without disput ing "his honor," we venture the assertion that the cure will not work unless the drinker swallow so much that he can't hold the booze. On the principle that two bodies cannot occupy the same space at the same time it might work out. Mr. Jason C. Moore who has undertaken the produc tion of potash from the waters of Abert and Summer lakes in eastern Oregon announces that he will soon be gin development work. This may be true: but Mr. Moore has cried "wolf" so many times that most folks will con sider the work started when the products are on the market. French officials claim that since the Somme drive be gan the French have taken 70 square miles of territory and thirty thousand prisoners. The drive started July first so that the land recovered has been at the rate of about a square mile a day. The cost in money, not count ing that in human lives, makes it an exceedingly high priced piece of land. The prophesier of ruin was feeling pretty well discouraged this morning. Yesterday wus a hard day for him. Some genuine aristocracy is shelter ed in the stock bams. Blood and breed ing doesn't make for beauty in all cases either. The weariest man oji the fair grounds last night became so by merely follow ing a fruil little woman during'the day.

The strike in New York City yesterday it is claimed did not materialize to the extent the leaders hoped. While 200,000 remained away from their work, it is claimed by the employers that this was on account of it being a Jewish holiday, and that most of these were Jews. To day being also a Jewish holiday or rather a continuation of yesterday's, the same situation is presented and so far as this clement is concerned it will not be known whether they are on strike or not until tomorrow. The strike leaders say the men will not all go out at once, but that within a week practically all will be out. Chicago is debating the question whether "the paint ing of a nude woman watching a turtle is naughty or not." That is what the dispatches Wednesday told us. but they did not make the matter plain they did not tell enough. Before passing on the matter that is of such vital interest to Porkopolis, it is necessary to understand whether it was the lady being "au natural," that gave them some doubts, or whether it was the prosaic act of watching anything so slow as a turtle in Chicago that was worrying them? An item in the 25 year ago column of yesterday's Oregonian mentions the fact that the harvest in the Wil lamette valley is over and that the total yield is placed at 7,500,000 bushels. It would be interesting reading if the yield this year was known, just for comparison. Oregonian took his umbrella along when he started for the fairgrounds. Now the question is whether they placed more reliance on their own judgment or under stood the weather bureau to mean "state fair" weather.

I could not help a slight sigh of satis faction. 1 was so glad I looked well, and that Mr. Brooke admired me. But I answered as carelessly as I could: "There's uo danger of that! No one cares much about an old woinau." "I'm not so ure," was his reply, as he helped me into the next taxi. "If I were you I wouldn't bank on it." It was only a short driva. to the the atre, but he chatted so gayly.with me that I was surprised when we arrived. We had nice Beats and the play wn very enjoyable. Mr. Brooke was all that was charming, yet I was not as contented as i had been when Clifford had taken me, just betore he went away. I had none of the pleasurable feelings I then had, caused by my idea that Clifford was going to be kinder. Then, too, although Mr. Broeke had admired me, it gave me no such joy as Clifford's unusual admiration had done. But Clifford was my. husband, and I had so longed for his approval. , The play was much more to my taste people.

' We discarded our wraps and went in to the library. The room was my favor ite one of all in the house. It was hung in deep soft reds and browns, mahog any bookshelves and furniture. I had than the iast one I saw and I enjoyed I spent almost all the happy hours I had known since we had lived in Olendale browsing among the book.
