It is claimed that since 1914 the government has added
214,000 women to its payrolls and that more than 600,000
more have taken up some trade or work. This is already
being felt in the scarcity of domestic help. This is an
other feature of labor that will have to be dealt with from
the union labor standpoint in the very near future. The

feature is the fixing of prices so they will not endanger
production. If they are fixed too low naturally those en
gaged in the business will quit, and if fixed too high,
nothing has been gained toward the reduction of prices.
Besides the prices of the raw material change often and
what would be a fair price when it was hxed may become
wholly inadequate within a short time owing to increased
prices of some of the materials used in the product. This
would cause a never-ending changing of prices to make
them fair to producer and consumer alike, and it would
place the middleman in such shape that he would have to
quit business. The arbitrary lowering of prices just after
he had laid in hi3 stock would be fatal to him. True, the
prices might be raised, and he benefitted thereby, but at
the same time the business would be made so uncertain
-that it would become a gamble pare and simple,
not thrown against the Teuton hosts. There must be a
point at which this culmination will face the allies, and it
looks as though the time and place were both at hand.
In the leading editorial of the Capital Journal yester
day, the linotype operator with his mind evidently on the
situation in Holland prefixed the Dutch word "Ya" to a
quotation, and he even spelled the Dutch word wrong.
ine quotation was:
"The noblest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man."
Apparently there is no way of getting away from the
old law of supply and demand for tho regulating of prices.

The time for filing as candidate.3 for office ended last

Reports yesterday were to the effect that our bovs
were engaged in the great battle rnging in Flanders, and
prices were above a certain figure, and this would soon
bring them to that figure, or if it was too low would cause
the producer to quit, until prices left him a sufficient
profit. The high cost of any article can be reduced by
the simple expedient of refusing to buy it, and so the mat-j

He says if the people want a live wire they need look noj f -,
further than Astoria. He is willing to do away with! t
prohibition in its stricter sense and advocates the use of
wine and light drinks but not a return to the' days of the
saloon. This being the case, Mr. Harley may be put down
now as an "also ran." Of course, with so many candi
dates in the field, if the old guard that stood faithful to
the last for John Barleycorn, united on Harley he might
possibly secure the nomination. However, if he did, he
could not hope to win at the general election. Oregon

that way.

With doctors the condition is

It is perhaps best expressed -by the
term "nervous excitement"

from an impending event of serious
