LABOR'S STRANGE ACTION One of the anomolies of the season is the passing of a resolution by the Federation of Labor yesterday indors ing the placing of an embargo on all foodstulfs until prices become normal. It is a strange move because it is GIVE THE LAW A FAIR TRIAL Bell-ans an attack by organized labor on the farmer.

It is recalled though that the' .objections to the for the purpose, among other things, of maintaining a high wage, it strikes at the largest body of workers in the country and endeavors to reduce their income. It is seldom the farmer gets any. too much for his produce, and it looks as though he should have his innings occasional ly. It is not the first mistake Labor has made but it is one of its worst ones. "When the farmers are not prosper ous labor has a hard time of it, and the reverse of that statement is true. Besides as was stated in these columns a few days ago; if fanners prices are to be limited as to heighth they must in all fairness be also protected against becoming too low. In other words: If prices are to be held down to normal, they must also be held up to normal. To use an old adage "what is sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose." In the case of high prices the consumer is the gander, and when prices are low the farmer is the goose. It is not likely the embargo will materialize, for it is not the scarcity of foodstuffs but the manipulation by jobbers and combines that-forces prices up. It is probable there will be a material drop in many food products in the near future simply because the federal grand juries are taking a hand and the district attorneys are getting busy. FRUGAL IN USE OF TRUTH A dispatch from Chihuahua, Mexico, yesterday an nounced a great victory for the Carranza forces in the battle with Villa. This dispatch came from the Carranza commander and like most things that come from the Mexican side of the border, needs considerable salt on it to keep it from spoiling. We do not recall a case wherein the de facto troops have bested the bandits since Villa legan banditing. In most cases Carranza's troops have fled incontinently before the fight was well started, and generally they fled before Villa got within miles of them. The reliability of Mexican reports is shown in a dispatch from Mexico City yesterday, stating that Roosevelt had started a revolution in several of the states for the pur pose of overthrowing Wilson who had been guilty of elec tion frauds. The Mexican paper publishing this story naively added: "The American ambassador has tele graphed to Washington to inform himself as to the truth of the report." It would not be at all surprising if re ports today show Villa is in possession of the city. General Trevino, commanding the garrison at Chihuahua was reported yesterday to be short of ammunition, and that looks as though an excuse for getting whipped was being framed up. It would be real interesting to have it demonstrated that a Mexican could really tell the truth. old law passed as it became understood, and everything had settled down on that score until the law was seldom mentioned. It may be the same with the present amend ment. Anyway it is the law, and if it should prove a dis appointment as many predict, the best way to deal with it is to give it a fair, square trial, enforce it strictlv. and either keep it on the books as a good law or repeal it if it should prove a bad one. It should not be condemned untried. Indigestion. Onepackage proves it 25c at all druggists. While the "bone dry" prohibition law is not yet in Ahsnliitplv.

There is a large number, who while at first opposed to the old "two quarts or Zi" hnally alter It had been given a fair trial became supporters of it. They realized ' that the doing away with the saloon was of great benefit, while it was still possible without much trouble to procure liquors in limited quantities. Most of this class are strongly opposed to the bone dry law, and forsee much trouble over it. They take the ground that the use of liquors is not especially an evil, but that the abuse of them is. For this reason they object to the sumptuary features of the new law which they claim is drastic and unjust. Discussion of the matter is not worth while, since it is the law. and the proper thing to do is to give it a fair trial, before either praising or condemning it. So far as the state is concerned it is an experiment, and as such. Lane county has an empty jail and so have several other counties since prohibition went into effect. But there seems to be as many men employed in the sheriff's offices and on the police forces of the cities as ever. son's managers counted more on the union labor vote, supposed to have been captured by this piece. of vicious special legislation, than on any other single influence enlisted in Jiis behalf. There whs nothing new in this atr tempt by Mr. Gompers to deliver the union labor viite. He had done the fame thing in 1J0S in Mr. Bi van's in tercst. ilr Bryan had let h'im write into the dem6ratic platform of that yea i the plank limiting the use of in junctions in labor disputes, which a republican national convention had al ready tnrneil down.

He asserts that Germany thoroughly understands America's position and that there is nothing more to say. Germany has been told what it may expect if the submarine war is renewed, and nothing can or will be done until it appears that Germany has violated her pledges. To date she has, so far as the public knows at leasts kept her promise to this country. There have been innumerable complaints, most ly coming from England, of "German f rightfulness," but these proved, to be practically without foundation, in fact when traced down and the truth was learned. The tor pedoing of a hospital ship in the Agean sea a few days ago is a case in point. England promptly reported it. to America with a good many trimmings which later proved untrue. It s now admtted the ship struck a mine and it is not at all certain that the Germans were responsible for the mine being where it was. Most of the crises that bob up every few weeks are manufactured in Wall street for the purpose of swinging the market a few points until some gang can clean up the suckers.

Yet when we seek the grocer, and ask him for some meal, he says, "I s'pose you know, sir, the price is raised one wheel?

Allen White.) 80 the gloomy gallant fight for Americanism failed to make the west forget its ideals and aspirations lor better country. Just as we elected a democratic president in 1P12, because of republi can ehirauery, it is evident now that the spirit of the west remains un changed todny, in spite of the futile efforts of the leaders of progressive movement. The opportunity to vote as they wished to vote was taken from a (treat body of meu when the progressive party quit business. But they would not vote with those who distributed the inspirations of the people. Not even the issue of national honor swayed these western political crusaders: Disheartened and ashamed, but with unbroken spirits and unshaken convic tions, these peoide voted for Wilson. Their leaders went to Hughes. But the folks in the west refused to follow. They would vote for a man and a pnrty that they despised before voting for a parly that they distrusted. Aud they : are now conscious of their strength, i They realise that with the direct elec ! tion of United Mates senators and the , power to levy income taxes they have ; efficient weapon in their hands. They , have no desire to nse their power un justly. But they do not shrink from using it to the full for the realization ! of their iiledlft. J (From the Bostou Transcript.

It was cast largely bv far mer progressives whom Mr. Hughes' wiuuiuui: nur.i iniiett to attract. It may be argued that the far we; mountain state progressives contributed largely to Mr- Wilson's re election, for they gave him the fiftv rlnee electoral vote of Kansas, Nebras ka, North Dakota, Montana, Colorado, California and Washington. It may be argued also that Mormon support turned to him the eleventh elertoral votes of I'tah, Idnho and Wyoming. But there is 110 evidence that the union labor vote was the decisive vote in carrving anv state for W ilson. Mr. Gompers' noisv promises went for naught. As it turned out, the president's bid for the labor vote was more than fruitless. It was superfluous. Huge Building Stone.
