ILL TIMED CRITICISMS The London Globe discussing President Wilson's speech before the United States senate openly says the United States is afraid of Germany and intimates it is afraid of Great Britain. The Globe then twits this country for not interfering over Belgium; and insults both the president and country by ridiculing the note sending policy of the administration. Yet England has much to be thankful for that it was notes instead of some thing more severe that were used. Because this country has stood so much from England she has the idea that we are afraid of her. The English mind cannot grasp the idea that it was the endeavor to maintain a strict neu-j trality that caused the writing of notes, which by the way remitted in the stopping of attacks on British passengeiv ships by the Germans, and which it illy becomes the bigheaded editor oi the Globe to ridicule. Neither the press nor the leaders in England seem to understand that it was not fear that caused the sending of notes and the putting up. with almost inolerable ill re&tment by England as well as by Germany. This coun try did not 'want to add to the burden either was carrying, by taking sides in any way. It was for this reason the greatest forbearance was used in dealing with Germany, ft was for this reason equal forbearance was used when a British war vessel took German passengers from an American ship. Instead of compelling her to return them forbearance achieved the same result and the prisoners were set free. It was this same spirit that made this , .(ministration forbear when the British government de solately rifled American mails, opened American letters, mkI it is alleged stole the contents both in the shape of money and information about business affairs, as well as diverting orders for American goods to her own factories. We put up with much from Germany in her role as a i ea Fever, and we put up with as much in a different way with the sneak thief methods of the English government, that is still robbing our mails. We have done this not from any fear of England or any other nation, but be cause we realized the desperate straits of the warring nation, all of whom were our friends. It may be, should some things materialize that are ex pected of the pigmy submarines next spring, that Great Britain, and even the fire eating editor of the London Glebe who by the way, is a long ways from the trenches and danger may be glad to have America address a few more notes to Germany. Prom the fierceness of the at tack of the Globe editor it is fair to presume he is one of those valiant persons in the "Tight little Isle," who would continue the war so long as a Frenchman remained alive, or a Russian is able to bear arms. At the bone dry meeting Monday evening an employe of Wells Fargo stated that a leeway of, say ten days, should be allowed when the bone dry law goes into effect so the company could deliver such goods as it had on hand. That is that some date should be set on which the law will go into effect. This brings up a phase of the law that has not been talked of to any extent. Under the law the express company must accept all shipments of fered so long as the law is not against it, and if it goes into effect without warning the company which has nothing to do with creating the condition and which can not avoid it or protect itself against what will happen will have numerous packages on hand, which the law says vj,h,', it must ship out of the state within :'.0 days after the law goes into effect, if they are not delivered. The question is to whom will the company ship them? The shipper has no claim on them for they have been sold and so far as he is concerned, delivered, and he has the money for them. The company would have to ship them out of the state, and to itself. The question is what it will do with them then? Can it sell them and keep the money? Can it sell them and send the money to the original purchaser to whom they were shipped? If not who gets the booze or its equivalent: .Merrill D.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS AND FEEL FRESH AS A DAISY TRY THIS! Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast washes out poisons. Clackamas is feeling the pains of parturition, with Multnomah about to take a slice off her western boundary, if she can, and the eastern portion asking to be set off into a county by its little lonesome. This measure will be threshed out before the committee tonight when a big delegation advocating the division and another objecting to it will argue the matter to a finish. It is none of the balance of the state's pie, but at the same time it may not lie out of place to remark, that the smaller the county and the more of them the greater the cost of running them. That is, the people of Clackamas county can con duct their affiairs more cheaply as they are than under two separate county governments. So it seems that while economy is the principal subject of conversation these days, that none of us practice it in our local affairs. Now it's up to the county courts of Marion and Polk to get busy. The S. V. railroad company has given them an excellent example of ability to act prmoptly and ef ficiently in an emergency like that presented by the Salem bridge situation. From indications there will be more than 500 bills in troduced at this session of the legislature, and the larger part of them is of little or no use. This will be seen when the legislature ends and the waste baskets are full of measures bearing the legend: "indefinitely postponed." THE ADDING MACHINE I watched a wonderful -machine count up five miles of figure; the operator, all serene, just pressed some keys and trig gers; it didn't sweat or tear its hair, it didn't make a blunder; it counted all the figures there, and put the product under. A set of books I used to keep, when I was young and husky, and homeward wearily I'd creep when dusk was growing dusky. I counted figures all day long, above my ledgers bending, and always got the derned things wrong, and sorrow was unending. And when the long day's work was o'er, my troubles home I'd carry, and there, despondent, sick and sore, I'd raise old Ned and Harry. My children were afraid of me, and so was Old Dog Rover; my wife would often climb a tree until my grouch was over. But now the keepers of the books are not worn out" and weary; they seek their divers inglenooks with faces glad and cheery. A thing of springs and bolts and nuts shears work of all its rigors; a thing with brass and iron gut;s counts up the dizzy figures. And ever thus, in endless ways, invention makes things lighter, and brings some sunshine'to the days of every toiling blighter.

A pleasing artistry affiliates itself with the general theme of "Bells" which the Philodosiaii society members , see the tinue of healtliv bloom your face, to see your skin get urer and clearer, to wake up without a headache, backache, coated tonsjue or a nasty breath, in fact to feel yOWJFi best day in and day out, just trv in side bathing everv morning for ouei week.

It cleans out all the sour fer mentations, gases and aciditv and gives splendid appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap ami hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phos phate act on the blood and internal Of gftltS.

Clifford insisted that Burns come in and have a cigar with him. Clifford was called to the telephone, and when he returned said he must go down-town for half an hour: a man wanted to see him about a business matter that could not be put off until morning. "Don't go, Mayson." he said as he put on his coat. "I'll only be a little while, and Mildred will give us a bite of supper when I come back." We sat in complete silence for a little, a silence so fragrant with mean iug that it became unbearable. "Shall we havo some music f" I asked. "No not vet." Burns replied, then, "The came over aud stood in front of me. His face was white, and the veins on his forehead stood out like great cords.

I stammered, beginning to see the mischief I had wrought, "I) don't love yon Air. Mayson, 1 was j only trying to make Clifford jealous! " I blurted out the truth. There was nothing else to do. Oh, how ashamed' I was, how little 1 felt. Surely Muriel! did not expect this to happen. Then ; came an illuaiinating i nought. Muriel; had ouly intended that I should let, Clifford see that Mr. Mayson was a; tentive, and I had deliberately flirted with him to such an extent that he be-' lieved all he had to do was to ask and I would go with him. It was awful! i ave vou meant it to' mean to ine?" his face grown gray. "Oh, I never thought yon would" ; "In other words v-oa didn't care, what effect it had on me.

The present, YOITte present was all yon cared for. How are we men to know when you are in earnest? Or when you are playing with us as a cat plays with a mouse! I know you do npt love your husband, that he neglects you. What was I to think when you treated me so kind ly," of the sarcasm on that word, ' ' when you seemed to be delighted that I returned ? Then oh, what 's the use. You say you do not love me, I know that you do not love Hammond, who is it then that you love; for that there is someone I am sure." "You have no right to question me.-' I replied, trembling all over; shamed as I never had been shamed before. "No I have no right, but if you were half a woman you would tell me. Then I would KNOW that it was all useless," and he turned away. "Please forgive me. for I never shall forgive myself. Yes, there is some one I love, and oh, don't vou seef If Clifford had only cared enough to be the least bit jealous. I was going to give him up." I confessed, and then before he could reply we heard Clifford talking to Kate. (Tomorrow Muriel Tears the Outcome of Her Plan.'i i
