The mem bers of the kaiser's unholy alliance seem to look upon Wilson's general declaration of what a peace agreement should be as a kind of an injunction to be invoked to keep the allies from making a good job of the walloping that they have begun. ltzt,,,n, ,,L ., ?r -- - i MISPLACED BACKBONE. THE KAISER'S PEACE OFFENSIVE. If acceptance of the president's peace proposals came from any othr country than Germany we would know what to do about it. The war would be over and in due time there would be a permanent treaty of peace. But no nation in the world has longer any confidence in the faith of the kaiser and his government. All the allies are scenting a new trick and see in the German desire for peace an attempt to escape a sound threshing on the bat tlefield, only to break faith in the final negotiations and perhaps resume the war under more favorable conditions than at present. The most general belief is that the kaiser hopes to secure a temporary armistice, which will save his armies in France and at the same time create trouble in the allied countries by the immediate formation in the United States, England and perhaps other allied countries of strong peace parties which will hamper further prosecu tion of the war if they cannot entirely stop it. This hope is not foundeJ on any good grounds of course, but the kaiser's advisers are clutching at it as a last straw to save themselves. What President Wilson will do is not yet known, but there is a general feeling that he will do the right thing, since he has been so successful up to the present time in the conduct of the war. The country wants uncondition al surrnder of Germany as the safest and surest way of dealing with the kaiser's government. ' Even little Luxemburg rises up to demand that the Hun take his big foot off her soil. Anyway, it is not going to be hard for Germany to comply with th required evacuation of France and Bel gium. Foch is making those German soldiers long for home sweet home as they never did before. The Montenegrians have gone on the war path again and are indulging their favorite pastime of shooting Aus trians. And these fierce mountaineers have a real griev ance to even up this time. The next big event after the close of the Liberty Loan campaign are the state elections. Here in Ore gon there are not many contests, the democrats having made no nominations for most of the offices. The big battle will be for the governorship, and despite the jt opinion of many it is going to be a real fight, ihe pres ent governor has grown steadily weaker in public estima tion since his management, or lack of it, of the state pri son and the prison flax plant have become more widely known. The republicans owed it to their party and to the state to name a man for the office who had some back bone in standing up for the right instead of exhibiting that commendable trait only when he was dead wrong. His last stand on the prison parole scandal in which he takes the side of Parole Officer Keller instead of that of his appointee, Warden Murphy, has lost him many votes and will lose him more. In this connection it is noted that the governor has disagreed with four wardens since his incumbency of the office and all of them, so those best informed say, o naccount of Joe Keller. While his dis charge of Superintendent Lawson was no doubt made on account of Lawson's politics, the governor is said to have made the excuse that he did not get along with the parole officer. It is known, too, that Superinendent Harry Min to, but a few weeks before his untimely death, told friends that he intended to quit shortly because he could not get along with Keller, and this because the governor stood by the latter. When John Minto was appointed to succeed his brother it was not long before this same trouble be tween the warden and Keller cropped up, and this too, found the governor standing with the parole officer. Now the same mess is being chewed over, for Keller open ly accused Warden Murphy of being a party to a frame up "to get him." It remains to be seen if the fourth war den is to be let out to please the parole officer. It would seem the proper thing for the governor to do is to appoint Keller warden. This might end the interminable row at the prisoneven if the salary of warden might not equal Keller's income in his present position although that fact will probably not be made known until after the elec tion. .' , . , The Keller bribery investigation is not being hurried and no report may be expected until after the 5th of No The secret of the surrender of Germany has been just learned. Ted Piper of the Oregonian has reached the war zone and Prince Maximilian heard of it. Rippling Rhymes t-t-tteeM by Walt Mason AXES TO GRIND. LADD & BUSH, Bankers are receiving subscriptions now forllie LIBERTY BONDS The man who has an ax to grind is always genial, bland and kind, of sweetness he is full; and he indorses all I say, however far I roam astray from truth, which is all wool. The friends I usually meet when I go bulging down the street, their own views entertain; and if I say the day is grand, when there is rain to beat the band, they say IV gone insane- And if I talk of politics, and stand up for a lot of hicks these frinds of mine detest, they say my dome is full of bats, and prod me roundly in the slats until they spoil my vest. I surely like the honest skate who dosn't pause o rhesitate at speaking of his mind; but I dislike the urbane gent who always is in salaams bent, who has an ax to grind. He is so passing sweet this morn that I might trample on his corn, and he would only smile; but I most certainly will find what sort of ax he has to grind, in just a little while. Some day he'll grab me by the coat and say he'd like to have my vote, he needs it, forty ways; and when I gently turn him down he'll shelve the smile and spring a frown, and hate me all his days. THE WIFE By JANE PHELPS CLAUDE BECKLEY ARRANGES SURPRISE FOR RUTH AND BRYAN CHAITER LVU By the time they reached home, Ruth had made up her mind what to do, Mad it not boon for Cliuido Beckly joining them, she would havo. id something about "her money" and then have been sorry afterward. ' Slie was grateful she had not mentioned it. That wna the one thing ghe never must do if she and Bryan were to live hnp)iily. Suppose he had spent it for .Mollie King! It he hadn't had it, lirt might have run in debt again, might have borrowed .it from that man Clark ISo when thev were 'getting ready for bed alio remarked, "1 wish you'd ask me to lunch the next timo you ask Miss Kins- I'll not interrupt, if you talk business, and 1 would ho enjov it." "All right, ! will. But I don't sup pose I'll tako her nguin lor some time," Brian answered, mollified by Hutu's tone ami the thought that it was oulv her (Kuth's) desire to be with him that had made her net no she had on the roof. Who wis jealous. let Brian Haekctt knew lie had done something that he had no right to do; and, as a person who is in the wrong invariably does, he was cross and un- rensmiablc both that night and the next morning. "Shall you come home, Brian, or shall I meet you somewhere? " Ruth asked, "I might emo down to the of fiee, then you would not have to wait.' "(Mi, I don't rare what yon do! 1 don't seo what you accepted his invi tation for. The sort of a dinner Beck ly'll put up won't be half as good as Crawford could cook for os." "I think it will be nice to go." "Oh, I'll go all right! only you'll be disappointed. What timo will you eomo downt" "I'll be there by six thirty." All day Ruth thought of Brian and Mollie King. What right had Brian to ohject to her working, then take what she earned and spend it on another wo utaut Bhe would havo a talk with him, not mentioning Mollie. She .would pay all the expenses of tho flat, and that would give him his money to do with as he pleased. Tae rent was due tho next day, so she took part of her noon hour and visited the real estate office and paid it, taking a receipt. She would lay it where' Brian would see it, then whon he asked about it sho would havo a chance to toll him, , It was too much to have him use her money for Mollie. rt belittled her and him. That was really what hurt Hull) more than the fact that Brian was with Mollio. That Brian, her husband, eonld bring him self to be unfaithful, and to demean himself by doing as he had, hnrt. Vet Ruth in her thoughts gave him all tho benefit of the doubt, She never would believe him unfaithful until she knew beyond nil quibble that he had gone from her. Sho still believed it was his hurt prido that she had taken her life into her own hands; and more than that, his jealousy of her earning power as opposed to his that had driven him to do things ho never would otherwise haVo dono, . . And in this supposition Buth was absolutely right at that time. Neither in worj or positive action, had Brian been untrue to her, altho it may nave looked as if he wero. Huth dressed for the evening with tho greatest care, altho wearing a simple, plain, dark dress. But she was very attractive. She was so well groom ed, so dainty as to gloves, shoes, etc., that moro than one woman looked en viously at her; and more than one man turned to take a seeond look as she waited for the car to take her to Bri an 's office. a Brian was still grouchy, but Ruth pretended not. to notice. "Can you cash this check?" he ask ed her. "One of my clients came in to day and instead of giving me tho mon ey, gave me that. It makes mo tired" The cheek was for onlv seven dollars. " 1 suppose they think 1 am sending to tho bank every ton minutes.'" "Of course I'll cash it. You know 1 told you I got paid today." "Well, I can't go down with tho old bunch without any money in my pock et, even if Beckly is going to blow. If you could 'nt havo cashed it, I should havo been obliged to get it somewhere and that gives a fellow away so darn bad.

"How terribly he feels the question of money," Futh thought. "I never must say a word about mine, what I earn." "Come on!" Brian said after he had put the seven dollars in his pocket, and Euth had taken the chock. "The dinner will be better if we get there on time." When they 'went into a basoment door, then to the dining room, the noise at first bewildered Ruth, Every one seemed to be talking at onee. and a young man with a shock of Waek hair was pounding the tinpacny piano as, if by using his strength, he could make his music heard above the din of voices and dishes. "Ah, here you arel so glad to see yon. I eaught Mollie, too, for tonightl I knew she'd entertain Brian and let us get better acquainted," Claude Beckly said ("screamed," Ruth would have declared.)
