The New 1 01 k end has leen lnvestieatmir ion it is asserted Colonel Roosevelt has ready to follow him to the wars, and states it is mostlv a Daner army. It says of the ;U.8:'.2 men that make up a division. l,17o are enrolled. 5.L'."0 on doubtful list and 25,407 are yet to be re cruited. This leaves the Colonel, so far as his army is con cerned, much in the fix of the boy who was chasing the rat around a corn shock. A passer-by asked him what he was doing? "Killing rats" was the reply as he chased around the shock. "How many have you killed" asked the stranger. "Well, when I get this son-of-gun," was the reply as he struck at it with his stick, "and two more, 1 will have three." CONCERNING THE BEAN BILL Chairman of the Chicago Board of Trade, Joseph P. I Griffin, defending wheat speculation, savs that it was not '.responsible for the soaring prices. He asserts that it was ithe farmers holdine; their orain for the ton market that ' The Oregonian says the Bean bill authorizing the j caused the rise. This in the face of the fact that in the counties in which railroad lands are situated to place such 1 48 hours following the stopping of speculating in May lands on the assessment rolls and to relieve the counties' wheat the price dropped 4:5 centsalmost a cent an hour. from Da vine the state tax until it is collected by such counties means a saving to those counties of $450,000 a Mr. Griffin ascribes this to the farmers suddenly "loosen ing up," and sending their hoarded wheat to the market, year. That the relusal to pass tho measure will deprive which in the same breath Mr. Griffin says cannot be done such counties of revenues they are justly entitled to, in! because of lack of cars and transportation. Mr. Griffin that sum.

If the Oregonian can show where the counties would be bene fited by passing the Bean bill it should do so in the inter est of all. It is probable the president's proclamation setting a day for registration will be made public soon. Don't for get that if you are 21 and not yet :?1 you must register on the day fixed upon for the purpose by the president. Proper notices will be given as to day and place, and all you will have to do is to get yourself to the designated point, for there will be officials there to explain just what you are to do, and when you are to do it. As at present understood, after registration those registered will return to their homes and wait the subsequent selection. After this there will be another wait until the call to the colors comes, which it is understood will be early in September. If you are subject to registration and too sick to attend you must get some friend to attend for you and explain why you did not show up. At last the army bill has passed both houses of congress J and is m the hands of the president where it will remain but a short time, just long enough for him to write "Woodrow Wilson" in the proper place and then the pre liminary steps providing for an army of 11,000,000 men if they are needed will be completed. At the same time it is announced that owing to the fact the supplies have not been assembled for taking care of the army, that the call of the first unit of half a million will not be made until September. This will give the men a chance to aid on the farms and at other occupations until the rush of summer and harvest is over. Then the whole number will be called and the work of whipping those selected into shape will be rushed to the limit. In the multiplicity of street trouble the Capital Journal in an editorial Wednesday got its wires crossed as to the suit of John Albert against the ..ity, decided by the su preme court in his favor. The oditoriaUmentioned'the suit as being over Church street improvements, when it was in fact over the work on Twelfth street. There has been no suit over Church street. . Those Britishers are foxy chappies. Now that it is pro posed to give the ballot to women it is further suggested that they must be ?,0 years old before "coming of age." They know but few women will apply under the age limit, for by the time they are willing to "fess up" to 110 years they will be so old they will not care two cents about the ballot.

Somehow the fraternal spirit that moved the kaiser's men to making eyes at the Russian soldiers was not pro foundly brotherly. When a Russian regiment refused to come out and be hugged, a storm of asphyxiating gases and a rain of shells broke loose over their position. Prus sian affection is much like that of the cannibal who gave his wife a hard and thorough beating before he cooked her, because: "he loved her tender," The Liberty Loan calling for $2,000,000,000 means a contribution averaging $20 for each person in the United States. This would make Salem's proportion $:J50,000. However as it is not a per capita contribution she will not be called on for that much. For the total amount to be raised to meet the costs of the war and the loans to the allies, Salem's portion on a population basis would be above a million dollars. Hindenburg would like to start a drive, but the trouble is the sharp edge of the wedge is toward him and the dru ing is not good. I : ' "What can't be cured must"'" go into the coldstorace plants.
