NO TIME FOR PEACE MAKING.
Bulgaria, which went into the war to earn a bribe of
fprwl hv r.pvmanv. Dart of which has been paid in the riv
ing her territory taken from Romania known as the Dob
rudja, wants a truce in which a separate peace can be dis
cussed. She shows the yellow streak of th$ hireling, and
is ready to abandon her ally because she is getting in a
bad fix and wants to save herself. She had no interest in
common with Germany, but she had instincts and a dispo
sition very similar, in that she was willing to advance her
own interests at the expense b fany of her neighbors, re
gardless of all rights. Now her army has been beaten by
the allies and her old enemy the Serbians, for whom no
brc ality was too great when the Bulgar was in power is at
VfiK trirnnr and demanding vengeance, n wuuiu uc miu-
innl to make neace with this hired assassin of a country
until the wrongs she has perpetrated are in some measure
righted and her leaders responsible for the atrocities
against the Serbs at least punished. The Bulgars and
Austrians treated Serbia with as great cruelty as that in
flicted on the Belgians by Germany, and that she should
fiofano n nnnisnmenL is ununimauie. muc num ow..
to be but one course in treatingwith this hireling govern
ment and that is to say to the gang, "Unconditional sur
render is the only terms we can make. Disarm your troops,
send them to their homes and let them take up their usual
pursuits until after war. At the same time no aid or sym
pathy must be given the central powers, and no interfer
ence made with allied troops quartered in or going through
Bulgarian territory. ?hen the war is ended and Belgium
Serbia and Rumania along with the greater powers assem
ble around the table to make terms 01 peace ior an, men
the punishment to be administered will be agreed upon
and inflicted." As to Turkey, she is in the same boat, and
any peace made with her should be along the same lines,
the term to be made when Hohenzollernism is ( driven
from power and Prussianism is no longer permitted to
menace the world. Just now the civilized world is not in
a forgiving mood, and its sense of justice demands that
those criminal countries that have destroyed its peace,
cost millions of lives and piled up a debt tor luiuw gener
ations that is staggering in its immensity, be punished for
their crimes, and that they be not forgiven and allowed to
go free simply because they say they are sorry. When
the final peace is made, the Turks control of the Bosporus
and-the Dardanelles will be a tning 01 tne pasi, anu uiutc
world highways will be made forever free for the com
merce of all nations. It is quite probable one of the terms
will be the removal of the Turk from Europe, and another
the loosening of his grip on the Holy Land. At any rate
just now there is not time to go into the details that will
insure a world peace, and hence there is no time for talk
ing of separate peace -with the hired helpers of the Prus
sian assassins.
Tonight another state fair passes into history. War
conditions were against such an exhibit as the good old
state usually puts up, and yet despite this the falling off
in the exhibits was only in quantity and not in quality.
The attendance, too, was lighter than usual, taken the fair
through, but that was caused by light attendance on the
first and last two days. Salem and Portland days, espec
ially the latter were up to the old standard and this was
largely due to the Elks who simply crowded the big
grounds to overflowing on their day. Taken as a whole
the fair can be considered a genuine success.
The flax exhibit' at the state fair was one of the very
finest. It should be remembered though that the initial
steps which permitted this fine display, the retting, was
done by Superintendent Crawford, and this is the most
important step in the manufacture of fiber, for if it is not

class article, superintendent Crawford's work at the
prison flax plant speaks for itself and so does the gov
ernor's action in discharging him without paying him
the bonus promised him by the board of control.
Portland lacked five million dollars of subscribing her
quota for the Fourth Liberty loan within the time set' for
"going over the top." This is not at all creditable to her
as practically all the extra profits made from war indus
tries in the state were spent in Portland. More than $60,
000,000 were expended in that city for ship-building alone,
and this makes the falling down that much the harder.
The campaign will be continued and the full amount will
no doubt be subscribed, but the proud boast about "Ore
gon and Portland being first in everything" has gene into
the discard.

THE GARDENER.
The man who doesn't do his bit is worthv of nn nar-
don; and I feel chesty, I admit, when I survey my garden.
I always hated honest toil, but wartime needs impressed
me, and I got down and tilled the soil, although the stunt
distressed me. And now, through Autumn's golden haze,
I viewed the greens I've nourished, the product of my
toilsome days, the plants that grew and flourished. My
cockleburs are large and tall, they grew in rank profusion
my neighbor views them o'er the wall, and makes pro
fane allusion. My sunflowers stand, some twelve feet
high, fajestic in their beauty, and turn their faces to
the sky as though it were a dutv. Between the
and the shed where stands mv shorthorn heifer, the milk
weed rears its stately head, and bows to every zephyr.
Bull thistles shade the fertile soil, and none of you is
knowing how much of hard and earnest toil it took to
keep them growing. My prunes and souash and rahWp
died, but I have compensation; my dandelions are my
pride, the finest in the nation ! I stand and view my handi
work with wholesome satisfaction, and how I loathe the
slacking shirk who took no proner action! A man should
raise enough of greens to feed his own gross body, and
though rather I slumped on beans, my jimpson weeds are
gaudy. .

Paris, Sept. 2S. General D'Espray,

in the Balkans, has received at his
headquarters Bulgarian plenipotentiar

cording to dispatches received here to

armistices, but would transfit the pro
posal to the government.
4 National Array Camps
Are Being Isolated
Washington, Sept. 28 Army corps
in this country are gradually being iso
lated from the rest of the nation as a
result of the spread of influenze. The
first calls for nearly 150,000 men have
been postponed so as not to expose
new men needlessly to the epidemic
and in camps where the disease is worse
passes are practically prohibited so the
epidemic shall -not bo spread to civiU
ian communities.
Massachusetts, the storm center of
this infrequent but severe type of the
grippe, had appeals out today to Prcsi
dideut Wilson and governors of near
by states asking doctors and nurses'
aid- This will be forthcoming probab
ly through Bed Cross or other means.

RUTH PLANS TO BEING HER OLD
NURSE TO LIVE WITH HER .
The commission appointed by the governor to con
solidate commissions and rearrange the form of govern
ment for Oregon, met yesterday and made some minor
changes in the original plans. The changes do not amount
to anything, but then come to think of it the work of the
committee is all in tluU class. With German commissioners'
selected by the governor, a German form of centralized
government could naturally be expected, and that is what
is proposed.

to Vive, alio longed fur her '"mammy"
more than ever. While Mrs. Crawford
was a (food cook anil kept the place
very clean; she never had been accus
tomed to wailing either on the tattle,
or helping her mistress. Both missed
I he little at Ioniums Uiifliol always had
jjivcu her, and now that slip was so
busy at t ho Bhop they would bo doubly
welcome,
As sho packed her Thins to go away
the thought eamp to her that, the very
next raise she had, she would send for
Kuchel. The thought made her smilo
thru her tears. It would bo heavenly
once more to have 01110 0110 of her
very own with her.
In tho niorninp Hriitn had partly
forgotten his grouch and she left him
in a much better humor than she ex-.
pected from his actions of tho night be
fore. "Don't mope!"' she said when she
-Kissed him goodbye. That was as much
as she could bring herself to say. Khe
hoped he wouldn't spend his time with
Mollie King.
When she left, that afternoon, Ar
thur Mundel went to' the. ,train with
her. lie had a few directions ho want
ed to give her, he hud buM things he
had overlooked.
Ktilli had no faintest ides that it
was an excuse to bo with her, away
from the prying eyes of tho elevss.
Neither had she mistrusted that Mr.
Mamiel knew that id ian w as with Mol
lie King when she-was in Philadelphia;
or that ho also had seen them togeth
er that day in Washinptoa Square. Yet
all these things were so. And like most
men of the world, Mandel put his own
construction on what he had seen,
knowing nothing at all about tas cir
eumalauees. He insisted upon slopping at one of
theAvenue fruit shops and buying Ruth
a basket of fruit. Then when they reach
ed the station ho bought tho late mag-
ja.ines and papers. In every way pos
j silde hp looked after her comfort, and
jslie was grateful. Hut one word from
: Hrian. a simple telephone message, cv
jen, bidding her goodbye, would, have
; meant more to her than all Arthur
j Mandel could have done, more than all
!he did. Yet It was but natural that ho
should be pleased at the attentioi her
employer pave her,
"I must be doing well or bo would
n't be so kind to me," she said to her
self as sho sunk her tooth in a delicious
peach, and opened a magazine.
That she herself was the causo of
this kindness, sho 'nevef dreamed. It
was because of her value as a business
asset. She must wurk terribly hard to
make good. Sho had ueh a wonderful
chance. So sho thought, for a bit, af
ter Air. Mandel left her. Then her mind
reverted to Brian, as usual. She wonder
ed what he was doing. It wa near din-
nor time. Would ho go homo and have I
his dinner Or would he take Mollie!
King and go to some restauraju anc1
spcuu the evening? She. nover yet had
visioned him ns spending the evening
at Mollie 'a little studio. In some way
hud not occurred to her.
But Ruth was young, vitally alive,
and easily interested. Sho never had
traveled west before, and soon gave
up all thoughts of home and business
to watch the shifting scenery. Until
it was too dark to see, she looked frour
tho window upou tho new country con
stantly unfolding to her gaae. Then
sho went into the dining -car and had
her dinner.
But after she had gone to bod in the
narrow berth in the state room Mr
Mamlel had secured for her, her
thoughts again souirht out Brian, and
she lay wondering what he was doing. I
"I want him to be happy," she said
aloud, knowing all the tune sho did
not want him to be happy if it meant
being with Mollio King.
Kuth was jealous of . pretty Mollie.,
More jealous, perhaps, because she had!
hidden it from Brian. She did not un-!
derstand Mollie ' charm,' even tho she
had no understanding of her character I
Then, too. Mollie was a Bohemian, one j
of that class with whom Brian assoe!-!
atcd before she, Ruth had known him.!
What was the fascination about auch
men as Claude Becklyl she wondered,
her thoughts shiftinfg. To her he aeeml
ed such an outre sort of a creature. I
She recalled her determination to make 1
Brian's friends her friends, if thoyi
would have her.
"If thoy were all like the Curtisesl
it wouldn't be so bad," she aid to j
herself. "I wish I knew that nice
couple across the hall," once more herj
thoughts strayiug. "They both Jook;
good, as well as intelligent. They look j
like the right kind of people," then:
aha thought of Mrs, Clavborne. Would.!
she ever forgivo her for going to work!
Hor letters, since Ruth had refused to(
stop, to givo up her position at her!
behest, had been few and very short. I
