THE INCONSISTENT OREGONIAN.
1 The Oregonian is mightily worked up because Pre
sident Wilson appeals to the voters to support his admin
istration. It quotes a number of professional republican
politicians over the state in an attempt to make it appear
that the president has insulted the g. o. p. of Oregon.
Did the Oregonian register a protest on behalf of
the "insulted" democrats of this state when Colonel. Theo
dore Roosevelt, during the Spanish-American war, as
spokesman for the administration, issued the following
appeal to the voters on the eve of election in November,
1898:
"Remember that whether you will or not, your votes
this year will be viewed by the nations of Europe from
one standpoint only. They will draw no fine distinctions.
A refusal to sustain the president this year, will, in their
eyes, be read as a refusal to sustain the war and to sus
tairi the efforts of our peace commission to secure the
fruits of war. Such a ref sual may not ihcori ceivably bring
about a rupture of peace negotiations. , It will give heart
t" our defeated antagonists; it will make possible the in
terference of those doubtful neutral nations, who in this
struggle have wished us ill."
If what Colonel Roosevelt said then (ana tne uregon
ian endorsed it strongly at the time) was true, the same
logic may be applied now. The war is neanng its ena
and the great problem of the terms of a permanent peace
must be decided by the allies. How would this country
fare in these councils if the president and his adminis
tration are discredited by the people This is as import
ant, n pntisirlpratinn as the effect of the fenudiation of the
administration (which is the government at the present
time) might have upon uermany at tne present critical
Wp hptipve this is a time for Datriotic citizenship to
come to the fore. The Capital Journal realizes that Ore-
IUIl IB 111 CVUilUl Ol I'll (A VAVlli uiivi vk-vvw '
appeal is general. We must re-elect Congressman Haw
ley, republican, because there is no candidate opposing
him. In the case of West arid McNary we think the pre
sident would prefer the republican candidate to a demo
crat who will play the roll of "me, too" to Senator Cham-
berlain's policy of obstruction and baseless criticism.
The Oregonian, if it was honest enough to view any ques
tion from an independent standpoint would advocate
West's election and oppose McNary because it has patted
Chamberlain on the back every time he has assailed the
administration in his frothy harrangues. Logically it
should support his man West and in not doing so reveals
its purpose in praising Chamberlain when he was giving
encouragement to the enemy by discrediting the govern
ment and hindering war work. It was merely using him
for partisan purposes to discredit the president of the
United States in time of foreign war for no other reason
than the fact that he was a democrat. Its patriotism is
enslaved by its partisanship.
The Capital Journal will be more honest with readers
and a better supporter of the government at a time when
it needs the support of every citizen. It will say that it
would prefer to see McNary elected senator over West, al
though West professes to be a democrat.
The Oregonian's course only impersses one with the
fact that its intelligence is pf a low standard or that it
under-estimates the intelligence of its readers.
The strongest indication of German collapse is con
tained in the dispatches announcing that the people are
hoarding their money and making runs on their banks.
When the people get afraid of their government's ability
to pay its debts the end if not far away.

The voter who marks a plain "no" on every initiative
measure on the ballot on November 6 will make no ser
ious mistake in any instance. Some of the measures sub
mitted to the voters are positively bad and the others are
either questionable or not worth while.
' Bette- be a!good stenographer than a poor kaiser
when comes to taking dictation.
The sinking of the steamer Princess Sophia in Lynn
canal and the consequent loss of 343 lives every soul on
board, is the worst tragedy of the coast. Full details of
the wrecking have not been receivedbut it seems it was
due to the same cause that, leaves the auto victims scatter
ed along the track by the train they tried to beat to the
crossing. Lynn canal is one, of the most dangerous
passages along a most dangerous coast; narrow and with
swift currents. It was through this narrow passage the
captain attempted to pilot the steamer in the midst of a
blinding snow storm and a breeze almost a hurricane in
its proportions. It is barely possible there may be a few
survivors but those, acquainted with the location do not
think it at all probable. - '
Saturday was another "Independence Day," this time
the declaration being made by the representatives of 65,
000,000 peaple, inhabitants of Europe, and composing the
kaiser's intended "mittel Europa." This declaration was
made in the same hall as that of the American people near
ly a century and a half ago. A new liberty bell was cast
for the purpose of announcing to the world the birth of
a .new republic. ' ..
Perhaps the next thing from the war zones will be a
story of the Greeks making a drive at their old enemy the
Turk. It looks very much like it was Thanksgiving time
around Constantinople, and therefore far from cheerful
for the Turkey birds. ,

Austria is just how paying no attention to what is
going on m Berlin, or suggestions offered her from that
point. If this course had been taken some four years ago
tne dual monarchy would feel much happier just now.
The blind followed the blind and both are now in the ditch.
A Winlock, Washington, pastor refused to let his cofr
gregatiori get a sermonless Sunday on account of the Spah'
ish influenza, and so had his sermon printed and mailed
to each mprtiber. Now he will always have the pleasing
doubt as to whether they each and all read it.
"The war is coming to an end in such a manner as
no man in Germany desires," laments the Berlin social
ist organ, Vorwaerts. If Vorwaerts were true to its name
and principles it would rejoice. , .
The Italians are crowding the Austrians hard on the
Fiave front and it is quite likely they will break through
the steadily weakening defense and sweep toward Vienna
and Budapest.' - ,
The Germans are reported as discussing the price of
oeace. This is cure waste of time for all thev have tn do
is to pay the price, the other1 fellows owning the goods.
The meanest thing the allies have done is to utterly
ignore Austria's last peace note. It looks as .though that
country was considered as no longer existing.
Now is the time to eather nuts.

THE SERBS.
We admire the fiery Serbs, who have come back so
strong; their dauntless courage nothing curbs, or side
tracks, very long. We thought the Serbs had looped the
loops, were done, for good and all; but they came back,
wit. ringing whoops, 4his most auspicious fall. They've
undergone enough of woe to rend their souls in two. ker-
flummixed by a brutal foe that never mercy knew. That
foe believed all Serbs were canned who were' not in their
graves, that never, in their native land, would they bej
augnt out slaves. The peoples everywhere believed that
they with war were done: and this explains whv men were
peeved when speaking of the Hun. And then one morning
hrougnt the news, "The Serbs are coming back! They're
sprinting, ih their six-league shoes, upon the Bulgar's
track! They prance along, with buoyant step, upon the
mountain road; they're loaded up with so much pep they
threaten to exp; ode!" Oh, gallant Serbs, you sutfered
mu;I, first victims of the fray, and now it siriiply beats
the Dutch, how you put up the hay ! Oh. Serbs, thev made
you the excuse for this atrocious war, and now they won-
aer wnat tne deuce tney made that blunder for.

THE WIFE
the highest paid woman, consequently
tlio most valuable ono in his employ.
Ho probably figured that her strength
was worth more to him than the jirice
of tho taxis.
Hor helplessness as regarded Brian's
intimacy with Mollic King, sent hor
heart down sickeningly.' Yet she well
knew that any false move on her part
while she kept her position would
make a breaeh between them. That it
was already there, she would not admit
even to herself.
She had forgotten a paper she wished
to take with hor, so after getting her
bag, ad giving Kachel directions for
Brian's comfort while she was away,
siie wont back to tne store to secure it.
Mr. Mandel found it for her, then said:
"You have been working hard late
ly, worrying a little, too, I fear. You
have shown it, he answered her ques
tioning look. "Now, my dear Airs.
Hackett, my best interests can only be
served when you are feeling at your
best, mentally and physically. .You've
'earned a play spell. Take a couple of
days and go to the Springs" ho named
a famous resort near the city sho was
to visit "Here is extra monbj i-r
your expense while there. Don't hesi
tate to take it, you have earnod jf."
" Oh, but Ifouldn'tl"
"You couldn't. 'Why-f "
"Oh, I couldn't stay' away from
Brian, Mr. Hackett, just to have a good
time at some fashionable resort. That
wouldn 't be fair. It is hard enough for
him when 1 am on business. Thank you
just tho same, Mr. Mandel, but I will
come1 directly home when I finish the
work.''
Ruth had spoken with feeling There
had been no hdsitatioii ,it ither hot
speech or her manner.- Yet the Idea had
a. wonderful appeal for her; there had
been much to attract her in the proposi
tion. It sounded like rest and also
recreation, both of which she know sho
needed. Not so much because of her
work, as because of her almost constant
worry 6Ver Brian, and his attitude to
ward her. . ,
"I am sorry you feel you can't take
ff rest," was. all Mandel said, as h
laid tho envelope he had offered unon
his desk. . .
"Please do not think me ungrateful,
You aro very tynd to me." Ruth had
not intended to show any feeling, but
his thbughtfulness had touched hot
deeply, and there were tears in hej
eye, when she raised them to his,
" I never think of any but. kind
thoughts of you, little lady," he .re
plied, with tho nearest touch of com-
eradie in his tones he had allowed him
self, . I
Kuth thought only of Brian, as the
train carried her away from New York,
because of his constant fault finding on
account of her work, his sensitiveness
a g to his status in tho household Euth
had not found tho spirit to praise and
encourage him of late as she used to
do when they' were first married.
Nor was Huth the only one who found
the tension tinder which they lived",
hard to bear. That he no longer had
Ruth's outspoken encouragement to
hearten him, to urge him on, was hard
for Brian. Ho had sort of depended oft
her clieerf ulness when things went
wrong,.or wcro "slow" at the office.1
Ho iived mostly on hope, in theso dnys;
clients werb few, pay (When he did find
one) uncertain. Ruth's cheer was bad
ly needed. And Molho. King was al
ways sympathetic, always cheerful.
Arrived at her destination, Huth sent
a message to Brian before she left the
station. Just a few words. "Arrived
safely. Love." But she sent it happi
ly, hoping because of his tenderness
when she parted from him that it would
find him at home eating the dinner Ra-
hoi would have ready.
A man's conscience -perhaps a wom
an's also is' very elastic. When she
was with him, or when, as lust before
she left his office, Ruth showed her
love for him so plainly Brian mado all
sorts of good resolutions,
r-o lie had this time when Buth left
the offico. . "
"I'll bohave myself this time and
eat at name,'' he said aloud as ho put
wv tiie paperj over which he had
bien working. "It'g lonesome s5 tha
devil. lint Ruth is a good sort." i
That Rachel was also an excelleni
look may have something to do with
his t'etL.-minaUon to go home to his
dinner. ' . ,

CHEMISTS BANISHES TRAGEDY
- "The inost tragic moment in a woman's life is when she discovers th
first gray hair, because it is Nature's warning that youth is passing," as.
elderly Memphis matron said recently at a Newport hotel.
"Then you are very fortunate," a Chicago lady remarked, "because ap
parently you never have experienced that moment of tradegly."
"Indeed I have," the Memphis lady confessed, with a laugh. "Only my
tragedy was intensified because several gray hairs appeared at the Same
time. I felt heartsick, but I could not bear the thought of using a dye.
"Fortunately, about that time a chemist in Memphis developed a prepa
ration which is called Q Ban Color Restorer, You can imagino my dtlight
when I Jried it and found it restored the uniform color and lustre of air
hair." . . ,
"Support The President" Said ,
Roosevelt. When This Nation
Was At War With Spaii
In 1898, when this nation was at war with Spain, Theodore Roose
velt, who is now urging the American people to repudiate President
Wilson's leadership, issued this appeal:
''Remember that whether you will or hot, your votes this year will
be viewed by the nations of Europe from one standpoint only. They
will draw no fine distinctions. A refusal to sustain the president' this
year, will, in their eyes, be read as a refusal to sustain the war and
to sustain the efforts of our peace commission to secure the fruits of
war. Such a refusal may not inconceivably bring about a rupture of
peace negotiations. It will give a heart to our defeated antagonists;
it will make possible the interference of those doubtful neutral na
tions, who in this struggle have wished us ill." .
On the eve of the November election in 1898 fotme'r President
Benjamin Harrison urged the election of a republican congress to sup
port McKinley and used these words: "
'If the word goes forth that the people of the United States are
standing solidly behind the president, the task of the peace com
missioners will be easy, but if there is a break in the ranks if the
democrats score a telling victory, if democratic senators, congressmen
and governors are elected Spain will see in it a gleam of hope; she
will take fresh hope, and a renews 1 of hostilities, more war, may be
necessary to secure to us what we lave already won."

When you wake up with backache

it generally means you have been eat

overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be

When your kidneys gets luggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste else you have
backache, sick headache, dirzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy,
full of . sediment, channels often get
sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times dur
