PAID IN THEIR OWN COIN The Huns' love of murder has caused them to kill hundreds in White Russia just for the reason that the victims were not Germans and therefore had not even badly whipped she will not be in shape to demand amr How the Oregonian would enjoy the present prison escape if West was governor. What learned dissertations on prison management and the way Os mismanaged the state institution-would our esteemed eontemnorsrv in- dulge in. However as it is largely responsible for the present governor being such and also sole manager of the prison, it has nothing to say. By the way we give the big paper credit for being able to say nothing more per sistently than any other in the state. The way it has maintained silence about President Kerr of the 0. A. C. and his salary grab would make -the sphinx resemble a phonograph in full action. Germany announces that after the war she will take charge of and control all Rumanian oil fields. This is an early announcement, but the fact is that Germanv will control what the allies permit her to control after the war, and the Rumanian oil fields will not be one of these ihings. Those making such announcements are forgetful of the fact that when the war is over Germanv will be so 1 Jl 1 1 1 1 - - the right to live. The dispatches tell of 600 citizens of Worg being herded together in bunches of fitly and shot down by machine gun fire. Following this, after a ten minutes consultation between officers of the White Guard 200 persons including women and children were sentenced to death. Evidently this kind of atrocities stirred the Red Guards to reprisal? for u dispatch from Moscow savs 4,000 Germans and members of the Finnish White Guard were killed in a battle near Lathis, 60 miles north of Helsingfors. Civilized nations of modern days refrain from reprisals that are agiinst the rules of war and the dictates of humanity, so the thugs turned loose in Belgium and Serbia, and now in Finland never meet the same treatment they give others. It is consoling to know that at last they have come in contact with a race that does not draw the lines of what is humane and what not, so closely. The Huns in Finland are apt to have each and everv of their acts of barbarity practiced on them selves once they fall into, the hands' of their enemies. As long as the Hun delights in deliberate murder of women, children vnd innocent non-combatants", so long will even the greatest stickler for decency in dealing with enemies rejoice that the iiun is getting the same treatment ne gives others. The hatred of the Oregonian for the government of the United States is shown by the way it proclaims the guilt in advance of any hearing of any official accused of a misdemeanor or crime. Now it has its Washington correspondence (marked "special") intimate that Borg lum, the crook who has been raising a row over the air craft work, is only the victim of a "frame-up." Or pos sibly its Washington correspondent does not write these dispatches at all but they may be manufactured in the Oregonian office just to fool the public which believes Ihem to be regular press matter. The full measure of the! hatred of both the Oregonian and Telegram may be seen in the love these papers express for Senator Chamberlain, simply because he is making all the trouble he can tor the war administration, doing more German propaganda work than all other agencies, in this country. Until Chamberlain begun to hinder and hamper the war administration of the nation the.3'3 two Portland papers did nothing but villify and ridicule him ; now that he has become merely a pestiferous obstructionist the Oregonian and Telegram express the highest commendation for his every act, thing. Her junkers refused to make Deace when it. nave peen aone because they wanted annexations and in demnities, and to profit from a war of conquest. After the war Germany's great problem will be to pay what she owes. An hundred million dollar shipbuilding order, as well as an order for 50,000,000 feet of car lumber and 30,000, 000 of Airplane stock, has just come t o Oregon and Wash ington. This is in addition to the tens of millions of gov ernment money already expended here on account of the war. And yet the Oregonian and Telegram (partisan first and patriots when the mood suits) are continually berating the administration for ovf?r-looking the North west and showing favor to the "democratic South." As a matter of fact the Northwest is being called upon to sup ply everything it is capable of supplying to assist in the work of winning the war and tho Portland newspapers know it. They are simply trying at all times and in all circumstances to stir up trouble for the government at a time when pressure from outside enemies should unite all loyal Americans in defense of a common country. Judge King, who is the Hon. Will R. King, present candidate for the senatorship on the democrtic ticket was in the city yesterday. Speaking of the political outlook from his viewpoint he remarked: "It might be possible to find a better doniocrat than myself, but it will be con ceded by all who know him that it would be impossible to find a worse democrat than West." Mr. King will find many democrats to agree with him in the last section of his statement. The junkers are not pressing Holland as hard as they would were she in a different position. They know that should the Netherlands get their Dutch up and join the allies, it would be a costly game for Fritz. The English fleet could help protect Holland and it could be used as an airplane base from which to raid important German cities. Besides an army could be landed on its shores to push across the border and flank the German armies in Flanders. The Huns may run a hard bluff on little Hol land occasionally, but when it comes to breaking with her uxy are airaia to ao it. it Holland could only pluck up her courage to resent the insults ar,d injuries heaped on her she would soon see the kaiser, hunting some place to aiue irwn ms own people. If you have any work you want to do for your political menus you naa Detter get busy, for tomorrow is the last day on which you can get in your work.

David asked in a stage whisper, as we turned the cor ner. "Yes, como on." I said taking his arm and hurrying him along. George was standing in front of Juiia Collins' house, ho and sh engaged in an ani. mated conversation. They hadn't soen us, and I piloted David across the strict. "What's tha game!" David asked.

David returned oblivious. "I will read it, juct the same." Just then James appeared with the breakfast. I poured the coffee and com menced to chat with David. But George tnce wore a forlinMtng scowl until he had nearly finished. I made up my mind that I would have to tell David that George was peculiarly sensitive about opening his morning paper himself.
