BRAINLESS AND TREASONABLE
The eastern suffragettes have added another to their
long list of blunders in the pursuit of the ballot. This
time- not satisfied with picketing the white house, they
took advantage of the visit of the Russian war commis
sion to the president, to display a banner with the in
scription: "President Wilson and Envoy Root are de
ceiving Russia.
It was no wonder that the people who saw it, regard
less of sex, charged on the offenders, tore their banner
from them and trampled it in the dirt. It was no small
offense to parade in front of the white house, and especi
ally at the time, an open declaration that the president
of the United States was deliberately lying to the Russian
people. It was a statement made to .representative Rus
sians that the American people acting through their
president were lying to, and deceiving .Russia. If it was
not treasonable it came so near, it that it would take a
corporation attorney to find out wherein it was not.
This deliberate insult was given because the president
has not seen fit to accede to the demands of this little
gang of misguided females, who are far from being a
credit to their sex and who are certainly a discredit to
the sensible women who are struggling loyally and stead
fastly for national suffrage, and who would get what
they are fighting for were it not.for the puerile antics of
this brainless bunch. If those self appointed leaders of
the east had kept their hands off the last election national
Riiffraee-would have been nearer some years than it is,
The creation of a women's party drove the populous
states of the east against the movement,, because if a
women's party could be organized that would stick to
tTAther as it was proposed they should do, then it would
necessarily follow that the women's party holding the
balance of power and having no especial object could
throw their votes either way, and thus become the actual
rulers of the country. It is this danger- or possible
danger that has r isen up to block the movement
Now that the war demands much of women it is sug-,
gested that this bunch of noisy and spectacular agitators
could find work suited to their mental caliber in hiring
out for the job of extracting the lacteal fluid from the
reticules of the dairy cows of New Jersey, or washing
dishes in some restaurant.
JHoover points out that it is necessary to cut down the
exports of foodstuffs to 'neutral countries. Of -, course
this works a hardship on them, but if this country is to
deny itself and go on short rations it is eminently proper
to make the neutral nations do the same tning. uesiaes
it is more than suspected that many of these countries
have been drawing on this country for more stuff in the
way of eatables than they needed, and turning a few hon
est pennies for themselves by doing a little back door
trading with Germany. Hoover proposes to cut them to
really less than they need' so they will have to go hungry
if they share their supplies with othei-s.
As an illustration of the intermediate costs the con
sumer must pay it is noted that fish selling at six cents a
pound at Newport cost the consumer eighteen cents a
pound. Of course there is considerable expense in
handling this kind of foodstuff but it would seem to one
not familiar with the business, that 100 per cent should
be enough to leave a fair profit to the man who finally
hands the retail package over to the consumer. Of
course the Southern Pacific gets a whack at it but that
should not account for more than 50 per cent.
The sudden death of Judge Bradshaw, of The Dalles,
yesterday, removed from the bench of Oregon one of the
ablest and cleanest members. He left behind him a
record of twenty-six years , of honest, faithful, judicial
Service.
Up to noon yesterday two of the seven stripes repre
senting $5,000 each had been marked on the big flag
which represents the subscription in Salem to the Red
Cross. Besides there was the sum of $412.56 as a starter
for the third stripe, which will no doubt be completed to
day. At the same time reports from all sections of the
country show the people are responding generously and
in many cases far exceeding the amounts allotted to their
districts, lhe Dalies, m this state, had given $40,000
yesterday at noon, and the report said was "still going
strong;" and she was expected to raise but $5,000. The
little town of Moro in Sherman countv did a thirtv-
thirty stunt quickly, when thirtv-two men cave thirtv-
three hundred dollars in thirty minutes. Yesterday after

His name was withheld at his request, but rumor points
to Rockefeller, probably because he could give this and
feel it least. However it sounds more like Henry Ford.
When the returns are in tonight .which marks the half

be lar in excess of half.

It developed at the annual nieetins
f the board of regent of the Mon
mouth Normal .svhool, . held at Mon
mouth yesterday, that it is impossible
to administer efficiently the affairs of
the school on the 1.25' of a mill tax
allowed by Jaw. This situation came up
in he rejiort of President Ackerman,
and upon his recommendation it was
decided to increase the tuition at the
school from $4 a semester to 0, ex
cept! ng fur the summer session when
uo change will prevail.
This-will partially relieve the short
age in funds, which has become more
acute, especially since the extension
work of tho school has been broadened
out to take in the Independence schools
and the rural centers.
Taking over of the rural centers also
has compelled the removal of JI. B.
I'ittiuan from the extension work for
three fourths of the year, but efforts
will be made in the future, it was stati
ed, to provide tor the Oregon normal
being represented m extension work
tor the full time.
Thei board adopted recommendations
of President Ackerman that the JJ1
kins, Dak Point and Mountain View
schools bo operated as rural centers as
a part of the Oregon .Normal school,
and also the contract between the In
dependence school board and the nor
mal lor the administration of elemen
tary schuuls of Independence as part
of the normal training school was in-
lorsed.
K. M. Kvenden, head of the depart
meiit of education, was granted a yearn
leave of absence to take up work at
Columbia university,, leading to T doc

ing iXv. Evenden's absence, Balph 8.

Whene'er I am inclined to whine,! murmur
to my soul, "No fierce protesting words of
mine will fit things from the hole. The
weather sharp will not dispel the gray
clouds overhead- because I stand around and
yell, and wish that I were dead. So let the
