What else but the trials and sacrifices of war could havej, nC 'ZJZ'TZ aroused the sleeping giant of Kussian democracy : Ana, those who win r.n.a.n m the city, daily four are Secretary of the Interior Lane ; Secretary of Labor Wilson; Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor and Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. They were scheduled to hold their meeting at i)::;0 last night, and at this writ ing what, if anything, was done is unknown. It is sin cerely hoped in the interest of all parties, especially the public which would be the great sufferer from the strike though having nothing to do with the dispute, that an agreement will be reached. This latter feature of the situation caused the president to send a strong personal appeal to tne heads of the Brotherhoods entering a solemn protest against the strike and urging that it at j least be postponed until the crisis now facing the country nas passed. Among other things he said: "It is now the duty of every patriotic citizen to bring An emperor isn't such great shucks when it comes to a show down. Nicholas II of Russia was a pretty big man one day. His frown made the whole nation tremble. The next clay it was different. Nicholas was hunting a ! place where his life would be safe, and was not doing any matters of this sort to immediate accommodation frowning. The fellows who had for years trembled at the "The safety of the country against manifest perils af suggestion of his anger suddenly snapped their fingers fecting its own peace and the pence of the world makes under his royal nose and told him to hike. He at once i accommodation absolutely imperative, and seems to me to took the hunch and so to speak, "hit the grit." No;! render any other choice inconceivable." , emperors are not so much, especially when they get fired I That is the feeling of practically every citizen save and can't "Emp" and more. The average man when fired; only those engaged in the dispute. It would seem that from his job can hunt another, but an emperor under thes6 conditions has a hard row to hoe. The jobs are scarce and the fellows holding them never quit volun tarily, at least. Besides the average man fired, only loses his job; but it was different with Nick. Along with his job went his title to more than a million square miles of cultivated lands and forests besides numberless fcol 1 and silver mines in Siberia. Then too he lost the position of control over a hundred and fifty millions of folks, which made him rank as some boss. That is one of the drawbacks 'to getting into the king row, for some fellow will come along and knock the top checker off,- and then the freedom of movement is curtailed. A man with a good ranch in the Willamette valley will not have as big a yearly income as Nicholas had, but with fair prices he will have a far better time, especially if he has a Ford, and his credit for gasoline is all- right. With hogs around fourteen cents a farmer can hear real music when the porkers squeal and with eggs at half a dollar a dozen, Caruso cannot sing ' sweater than the barn-yard hens. Emperor Nicholas' never experienced the joy of watching the market reports while the price of onions and spuds aviated, and was happy in the fact that he had several hundred bushels of each stored and waiting for the summit to be reached. The webfoot farmer doesn't have to dodge a mob of angry citizens looking for some official to popoff, or killovitch, or tack lehiswhisky, or anything of that kind; and besides when he gets up in the morning his ranch still belongs to him and so does his job albeit it is currying Dobbin and milk ing the cows. No; emperors don't amount to much, not in these days. And yet the deposed emperor deserves some commendation, for he did one great thing for Rus sia when he knocked the "whisky" out of everything in the country but his subjects' names. It is profoundly hoped the "bone dry" arrangement will not have the same kind of '-'kick" to it here in Oregon. Labor, for its own protection, would do well to heed the president's solemn protest. No strike has ever succeeded that did not have a large measure of public sympathy be hind it, and in the present case from where will that symapthy come? Surely not from the businessmen of the country whose affairs are paralyzed. Not from the work ing men whose jobs are lost through closed factories and halted industries. Not from those in the larger cities who will go hungry because their supplies of food cannot reach them. A hungry nation soon becomes an angry nation, and no matter where the real blame lies; whether with the roads or the men, it will be piled in a gruat bundle entirely on the backs of Union Labor generally, and on the principles of unionism. In the interest of their own orders, and of Union Labor generally the strike should never be allowed to materialize. Labor should see that it is playing into the hands of its enemies in this move. That is no doubt one reason the railroads take the stand they do, they evidently want unionism to commit suicide, and are willing to give it the chance, even though it will cost them dearly to do so. now keep your eyes on Germany and note the fate of rmX kaiser and his imperial household.

A COUNTRY OF UNTOLD WEALTH Halibut fishing on the Oregon coast especially about Newport is becoming.an industry of far more importance than most folks are aware of. From government reports it is gleaned that the catch in the vicinity of Newport for the year 1914 was 85:5,000 pounds, the season being from May 10 to September 15. Since that time more interest If the new Russian government proves stable, and there is no indication that it will not, the time is not far distant when Russia will be one of the greatest countries the world has known. Its resources, despite its popula tion of more than one hundred and fifty million, have barely been touched. Russia in Europe has an area of 1,862,524 square miles or about two-thirds that of the United States, and contains a population of 111,279,500. In Asia it has territory of 2,904,200 square miles, or an area about the size of the United States, and this has a population of about 40,000,000. Its territory comprises more than one-seventh of the entire territorial surface of the globe. It has a great mountain system that con tains vast wealth of precious metals as well as an abundance of nearly every metalic ore. It is snlendidlv watered, one of its magnificent rivers, the Volga, being navigable almost to its source, and it has 16,000 miles of navigable rivers and lakes. Its mineral wealth has scarcely been "prospected," but it produces yearly large sums of gold, thirty million tons of coal, and petroleum h ) President Poney announced in chapel that regular cliiss works would begia promptly Monday morning following vacation week.

IMPORTED WORDS so the blamed word rhyme with carriage The purist and the man scholastic think I deserve a scoring drastic. "The word," they say, with pain and sorrow, "from France's lexicon we borrow, and they pro nounce it as you orter with accent on the second quarter. You have a fit and then spasm, and sideways twist your facial chasm, and say, "gar-rodge," your larynx lending, to put the accent on the ending." When we pinch words from other nationssuch customs are great aggravations and in our speech incorporate them, with English accents we should w'eight them. The purist thinks I'm rather cranky; and he will' wildly take his hanky, and in his laughing mouth he'll stuff it, when I make reference to "buffet." "Bufay," he says, when he's done smiling, "you should pronounce that word beguiling. It's borrowed from the French or Gaelic, which should be known to every aleck." I take the purist by the shoulder, and bump l is head against a boulder. - j New Books Received at Public Library LodgedStory of the Revolution. Montessori Pedagogical Anthropol ogy.

Iu outline tho volume has reached its final form, and a considerable amount of the write-ups have been sent to the printers. The book this year is to have a very elaborate border. It will be printed in two colors, and something altogether difefreut in the way of cover design are being considered. The special part of the book will be the feature section, designed to portray the spicv touch of college life. , jft .il.-li. 1 !.! 11 i vi gum, (.mi II illlllivjll IUUO ui i,uai, CU1U MCUU1CUI11 has been taken in the industry and recently a cold storage and galt are abundant It hag magnifice'nt fisferies and plant was erected at New port for the especial purpose of handling the halibut catch. Not long ago two Salem young men got interested in the fishing industry and have purchased and are operating a schooner in the trade on the Newport banks. They are Mack and Lawrence Hofer, and they are so far, highly pleased with their venture. Not long ago the Capital Journal had a story i.bout their purchase of the schooner and a brief mention of the business. In less than two weeks an inquiry came from Toledo, Ohio, asking further information as to the magnitude of the banks, and such other information as could be furnished about the catches. This shows the value of advertising especially if it is placed in a paper like the Capital Journal that goes everywhere and not only goes, but is read, advertisements and all. - Owing to the fact that a headline was "railroaded" in yesterday's Capital Journal, it was made to appear that certain well known Oregon gentlemen were appointed to investigate the "tomato" project. It should have read the "Tumalo" project but come to think of it, with writing somewhat hurried and far from "copper plate," tomato was a pretty fair guess for a compositor.

Another vast store house of wealth is its forests which excel those of any country. The greatest drawback under the rule of the czars, who evidently desired to keep the masses ignorant, is its lack of schools. Heretofore this great country -spent less for education yearly than the state of New York. It will be seen from this that not only -is there vast stores of raw material in her mountains, forests an.t fields, but in her people. That these masses are capable of self government is abundantly shown in the great bloodless revolution in which the whole character of the government was changed in a week, and those coming into power have used that power wisely and forcefully; taking the reins of government in their hands and so conducting the affairs of the country that its business was not interfered with. When this Giant just awaking finds itself and works out its destiny along modern lines who is there can even guess to what proud and command ing position she will attain? It is a matter for congratu lation, too, that Russia is not a military nation. That is she is not aggressive, does not seek to grasp the lands of others and if let alone, pursues always the paths of peace. The new government has the sympathy and gtiod wishes of liberty loving people of the whole world, who will watch with keen interest her emerging from a state of i semi-barbarism, so far as her lower classes are concerned, I until she takes rank among the most highly civilized na- ! tions, a place her virile and brilliant men are sure to at1 tain for her. .....
