A PROBLEM IN POLITICS
There is a rather unusual condition confrontlhg
congress when it organizes next month. The republicans
have 214 members and the democrats 21:;. It requires 218
for a majority, so that the selecting of a republican or
democrat to the speaker's chair is in the hands of thos.
who belong to neither party. There are composing this
controlling element, two independents; two progressives:
one socialist and two contested seats. Of these contested
seats one is from Pennsylvania where the republican can
didate is contesting the election of the democrat who on
the face of the returns won by 46 votes. The other is
from the Third New Jersey district where Scully demo
crat is opposing the election of Robert Carson, republican.
Scully is reported to have a lead of 125, with some 2,000
Wte8 yet to be counted by the court. With these two
votes, which it seems the democrats are likely to have,
they still have but 215 to the republican 213, Kelley, pro
gressive, of Pennsylvania, is counted on as favoring the
democrats, as is Randall prohibitionist, of California.
London, socialist, who has been standing by the democrats
is also considered as safe for that side. With these three
the house would be organized by the democrats; but with
out them and the two contested seats, the republicans
would rule. However, it is not so much a question as to
how they vote for speaker, as it is how they will stand in
carrying out national measures. With a solid republican
phalanx it will be up to this little handful of independents
to say whether measures shall pass or not.
The meeting of the Cheese and Butter Makers Associa
tion which ends its session here today, is an event of more
than passing Importance. It is not the meeting, nor the
fact that it was held in Salem that is of especial import
ance, but. the showing made in the growth of an industry
that should be among the leading ones of the county. The
mild climate, with more or less green pasturage all win
ter, the splendid yields of grass and resultant hay, with
the silo coming to the front with its rich milk-making
contents, make this an ideal section for dairying in all its
branches. The convenience to market and a healthy local
trade are features tending to make the industry more
than usually successful. Marion county has some splendid
herds of the very best milk strains of cattle, and with the
-.lido that is being taken in grading up the stock gener
ally, it will soon have as line dairy herds as can be found
in the United States. Besides it is a business that can
expect better conditions all the time. The demand for
first-class dairv products is unlimited, and there is small
chance of the 'business being overdue. The increase of
population and the bringing of hitherto pasture lands
under cultivation, has made the business secure in its
field for the demand is a steadily growing cue.
England and her allies have concluded to make reply
to Germany's offer, and at the same time to Fubmit to
President Wilson the terms on which they are willing to
consider peace as well as a statement as to what they are
fighting about. While this may eventually lead to the
Warring nations getting together for a discussion of
peace, the fluttering of the wings of the white dove are
not yet visible. While stocks showed but little changes,
the wheat pit jumped the price six cents, which shows the
gamblers are 'confident peace is still a long way off and
cannot materialize before the present crop is exhausted.
From appearances their judgment is eminently correct.
It would seem that there is some merit in the com
plaints the railroads make as to the difficulty they en
counter in trying to obey the laws of the several states
and the rulings of as many state commissions. These
rules vary so widely that it is almost impossible to obey
them all. For instance different states require different
headlights and safety appliances. Every time a train
crosses a state line these would have to be changed to
meet the state laws. It is quite possible that in the near
future the whole matter will be taken over by the general
government, and the state commission done away with.
Apparently it will make little difference whether Car
ranza signs the agreement reached by the Mexican com
mission concerning boundary and other matters in dis
pute, unless he gets in a hurry about it. With Villa in
control of Chihuahua, Felix Diaz in possession of Puebla,
the most important city on the railroad between Mexico
City and Vera Cruz; 2'apata haunting the suburbs of the
capital city and an independent bunch of revolutionists
holding Jalapa while still other independent gangs of
rebels are doing about as they please and where and
when they please, Carranza's power is about gone. He is
in a hard row, for if he signs the protocol and makes any
agreement with the hated gringo he will lose the sym
pathy of the few who are still ostensibly loyal to him. If
he refuses to sign the whole matter is ended and he is
just where he was when the commission was appointed.
This means that he is in danger of having trouble with
the United States. In either case the end of his rule is
in sight. What Mexico needs is another Juarez, or a
Porfirio Diaz. It takes a tyrant to rule Mexico and while
that brand of person is abundant, they are all of the
petty kindv

An irate father who objected to his two daughters
having their beaus at late hours was recently arrested
on complaint of the girls for assaulting and kicking out a
couple of young fellows who insisted on sitting up with
the girls after their father had requested them to skip.
The story as told over the wires was that he kicked the
two lingering youths out. This being the case the com

County Judge Bushey has submitted a budget showing
what money will be required during the coming year, and
also what it will be used for. This budget was to have
been submitted to a meeting of taxpayers called to meet
Tuesday, but which did not materialize. In consequence
the moneys of the county will be expended for the pur
poses named therein. Judge Bushey says there will have
to be one or two minor changes to make it comply with
the six per cent tax limitation law, but outside of that it
will stand as submitted. Here is an example for other
officials to follow. Judge Bushey has arranged the county
expenditures so they will come within the law, and if
there are things needed not in the budget they will have
to wait until another year.
Poets and philanthropists point out the beauty and
greatness, of building for posterity. With this view of
the matter a heavy bond issue to build bridges and ether
public improvements, especially if the bonds were -to run
fifty or an hundred years would be an act to make pos
terity rise up and call us blessed or something else
when the bonds got ripe.
Russia refuses to talk peace until a decisive victory is
achieved by the allies. She has an abundant opportunity
to achieve it. All she has to do is to take the same course
necessary to the acceptance of the allies Christmas pres

Another proposition 'favored by the
association is that of requiring a license
for all creameries, wherein the makers
of batter must be competent to malic a
certain standard of butter and to have
had experience, all tending to an es
tablished -tate standard. This law will
be favored by the legislative committee
iu order to shut out incompetent men
who make butter but will not live up to
the Oregon standard.
In an address before, the aasoclation
last night, .1. D. Michel, state dairy and
food commissioner reviewed the ad
vances that had been made in the state
during the past few years in the manu
facture of butter and food products and
especially in the manufacture of butter
and food product! and especially in the
standardization of cheese, whereby cer
tain Oregon brands are held to a high
standard and are known iu all parts of
the country.
The program for this evening original
ly Included a banquet at the Commercial

X::Z:XZ But to RESUME, I showed the YOUNG LADY the
want ... preccnt speculation. TOOTH and she said. "TOO BAD" and I said "NO. ONLY
ONE," and then she called a NURSE who took me into
one of the TREATMENT ROOMS where THE DOCTOR
gave me THE ONCE OVER and I want to say PAIN
LESS, the DOCTORS that are ASSOCIATED with you
are MIGHTY FINE fellows. He didn't say "you need
A NEW BRIDGE or HERE'S something that ought to
be ATTENDED to AT ONCE." NO, he just GOT BUSY
and slipped me .a SHOT of "THE PAINLESS," and in
about 20 MINUTES, the FILLING was IN and I've only
ONE CRITICISM to make. Just before THE DOCTOR
started working he said to THE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG
NURSE (They are ALL BEAUTIFUL in fact they
MUTUALLY EXCEL each other) said he, "GIVE ME
A DAM." Now, I've heard many a man say that HE
wouldn't GIVE one or DIDN'T CARE ONE about SOME
THING, but anyhow, EVERYTHING else was SATIS
FACTORY. Its USELESS to even remark "IT DIDN'T
HURT A PARTICLE." I've BEEN in your TOOTH
SHOPS in several cities and get the SAME SERVICE in
EACH ONE.
The only DIFFERENCE is the PRICE or it may be
the DOC made a MISTAKE, I TALKED to him so much
after he took the "DAM" thing off, I may have got him
EXCITED. He only charged me ONE DOLLAR. The
last time I had the same kind of WORK done in SAN
FRANCISCO they charged me TWO. I guess THE WAR
j hasn't affected the PRICE of DENTISTRY. They are
TOO BUSY to have TEETH FIXED.
Wishing you SUCCESS in the GOOD WORK vou are
carrying on in PAINLESS DENTISTRY as well as
GENERAL EDUCATION.

VEXATION OF SPIRIT
So long and earnestly I've wrought, pur
sued the beastly grind, I've ring-bones on!
my dome of thought, and spavins on my!
mind. The ghastly fear of evil times, of j
poverty when old, has kept me humping j
after dimes, for gold and still more gold. I
have a package put away, where none can '
jar it loose; and sometimes, at the close of j
day, I wonder what's the use. When I have ''
left this busy sphere, where only man is
vile, some able lawyer will appear, and!
gather in my pile. Throughout this wearv!
worldly jaunt I've skimped and saved and oared; I've done;
without the things I want, the things for which I cared. ;
