INITIAL RED REVOLT.
The affair up at Seattle is not a strike; it is a revolt
against organized government. If it succeeds- the Unit
ed States will be in precisely the same condition as Rus
sia, Austria and other parts of Europe where anarchy
prevails. Lives will be sacrificed and property confiscat
ed and destroyed throughout the nation at the command
of the leaders of this radical element, most of whom are
not American-born. The revolt at Seattle is the direct
result of the propaganda that has been carried on unmo
lested in this country for years, striking at the very foun
dations of democratic government. Government mails
have carried socialistic and" anarchistic publications prac
tically free of postage when the purposes ot those same
publications was to destroy orderly government and sub
stitute in its place the crazy schemes of long-haired fan
atics or half-baked ideas of ignorant and criminal foreign
ers who are abusing the asylum of refuge they have found
in this country. Politicians have catered to the noisy
turbulent faction and forgotten apparently that the peo
ple who have permanent employment, who have businesses
and property and homes, with the welfare of families in
their keeping, were entitled to any consideration at all.
fThe Seattle revolution is the answer.
This initial revolt of the bolsheviki in the United
States must be suppressed with a firm hand. After that
the law-abi'ding, honest and industrious elements of all
.classes in this country must heed the lesson. The dema
gogue and the agitator must go, and men who believe in
a real democracy, where life and property are safe, and
laws are honestly enacted ana jusuy mu&i ue
placed on guard. The Seattle warning must be heeded or
grave consequences will ensue. ;
SOLDIER LANDING PLACES.
Many critics of the peace conference to "internation
alize" the German colonies fail to see the real significance
of such an innovation.
Designed originally, perhaps, to prevent-any unseem
ly scrambling among the powers for these German posses
sions, and any violation of the principles that peoples
should no longer be "bartered about from sovereignty to
sovereignty," the plan opens up vistas reaching far be
yond any such immediate purposes.
It should be apparent to any thoughtful person that
by the very act of internationalizing these colonies, a
practical League of Nations comes into being, with im
mediate, practical work to do. It is the beginning of the
realization of the dream that has haunted and allured the
noblest minds for more than half a century, and has now
become the ardent dream of an overwhelming majority
of civilized men.
There have been attempts at internationalization
made before; but they were the arrangements of limited
groups of nations; for their own particular purposes,
without universal sanction and without any formal, per
manent organization possessing authority to administer
the territory involved.
Those colonies, it appears, are to be armed by the
League of Nations. They are to be administered in its
name, by nations to whom its authority is delegated, and
which are responsible to it for their conduct.
That is to say, the whole civilized world, through th
agency of this league, is to own and control those colon
ies. For the first time, civilized men throughout the
world are working together.
From such a beginning greater things may come.
From controlling the destiny of those colonies, in them
selves not very important, the league may come in time
to exercise a beneficent sway over all the earth.
The reason Oregon sheriffs are becoming more effi
cient in their enforcement of the bone-dry law is prob

The allies are going to send troops to Turkey,

Why
Philadelphia wants all the home-coming troops to be
landed at that port, on the ground that it was the place
where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Boston might set up a similar claim, basing it on Bun
ker Hill and a certain famous tea party. New York sure
Iv deserves consideration not only because of her historic
associations but because the Statue of Liberty stands
there. In any such controversy Virginia, the first Mother
of Presidents, and a veritable nurse of American Liberty,
could not be ignored. New Orleans might plead that the
army ought to be landed there because it was at New
Orleans that the great victory was won in the year 1812.

RIPPLING RttVMES
By Walt Mason
NONE PERFECT.
No man is perfect, 'neath the sky; there is a flaw in
every guy. We could not long endure the man construct
ed on so rare a plan that all our searching would not find
a blemish in his heart or mind. This most astonishing of
gents would make us look like fourteen cents. Since you
have blemishes to burn, why roast your neighbor to a
turn? Why jump on Jinks for swiping coal, if you have
pinched an orphan's roll? While you roast neighbors one
or two, be sure that some one's roasting you. I have a
lot of loathsome faults; my gall is fierce, my conscience
halts; sometimes I drop my lyre and .pen, to take a sack
and steal a hen. I talk too much and bore my friends; my
list of failings never ends. And you are roasting me, I
know, as you go waddling to and fro, and pointing out
the things I lack to make me like a winner stack. My faults
I know, defy all cures, but they are smoother faults than
yours. I wouldn't swap, you poor galoot, unless you gave
your watch to boot. While you are roasting me it's true
that I am busy roasting you, and neither one has any
right to roast the other misfit wight. That man who has
no fault or flaw alone has right to play his jaw. j
All this present rush of activity in congress will not
make up for the months of time lost in interminable de
bates over things that did not concern congress.

The house wns sot almost in the cen
ter of a largo luwn ("yard" wo callod
it). Ii the sensou it was filled with
flowers of all kinds, in not very sym
metrical beds, and in borders along tho
walks that led both to tho front and
biwk door. Then there were flowering
hrula and bushes sot down haphazard,
and several large trees. When every
thing was in bloom it was a very at
tractive looking place. Hut in the late
full and winter when tho wind whistled
thru the shrubg nnd roeked the giant
branches of tho trees ,stripped naked
o ft heir summer dress, the long, low,
white house had rather a pathetic loo.
I hated the wintor. It we always so
uuattructive in Huntington, where
many of tho houses were almost a rep
lira of the one in which wo lived, and
whero the street, so beautifully shaded
in summer by tho itnerlaced slKle trees
were bleak and unattractive because of
tho bare trunks and branches of those
same trees.
I used to think that there could be
no other placo in tho world where the
wind howled. and greened, as if in
agony, as it did in Huntington. But
as my experiences afield had boon
only to neighboring towns, I was per
haps incapable of juflging. Tet now
sftor years of city living I still shudder
when I think of the way tho wind whis
tled and moaucd through the trees and
shrubs in my old homo.
Father kept a small store. Wo never
knew what it was to really want for
anything; yet mothor counted every
penny. I never had an allowance bo
cause there was only just so much, and
nothing must be wasted. Vet as I look
back it is the only criticism I would
nick of my father and mother. They
brought me up without allowing me to
handle penny, or to use my judg
ment In spending. Mother bought my
clihcs and wo made them together
girls grow up together. But whonever
I thought of marriage, it was uot with
one of thorn.

Neil almost immediately. There is very

I passed Mrs, Carter's gate she called
to me: '

"Neil, this Is my neighbor, Barbara

A very common way in, Huntington.
"I am very glad to meet Miss Hill"

into the handsome face of the only
young man I ever hod seen who in any
way fulfilled my girlish ideals of what
a husband should be.

the commission authority to regulate
tho rates of tho nittny public utilities
that now have franchise agreements
made prior to 1912. He insisted that
the supporters of the bill wero contend
ing for a dangerous doctrine when they
wanted to enact a law which recognize
tho principle that the state could dele
gate power to make contracts and then
could not exercise ny further power oy
er such contracts.
' Huston Replied.
Senator Huston mado reply. He ar
gued that under the decision of the su
preme court in the Portland snt-eent
streetcar fare case ,tho public service
commission can raise rates but it can
not lower them. The streetcar fare was
raised because the public utility con
seated to the increase, while it would
bo unheard of for a public Utility to
consent to a decrease.
"If tho commission should attempt
to lower a streetcar fare below the
amount agreed on in tho franchise," ho
said, "tho utility could go into the fed
oral court und stop it in a minute."
Ho argued that when tho state dele
gates to nn agent, such as a city, the
power to enter into a contract the state
ennot luter repudiate tho contract made
by the agent.
Ho asked why it was that all the pub
lic utilities aro lighting tho bill, and
answored the question by declaring
they all expected to obtain from tho
commission increases over the rate fix
ed by thoir franchises. He warned the
meu of wealth and of property that
they should not set the example of dis
regarding contract' agreements beeauae
if thoy did they could not xpect the
working class to be particular about
keeping their wago agreements.
Senator Banks declared if tho bill be
came a law it would bring ruin to many
public utilities which would be forced
to nbido by thoir franchise agreements
whilo Senator Moser said that all the
public organizations of Portland en
dorsed the action of the public- service
commission in . granting the six-cent
streetcar fare, as it' was necessary to
save the company from the hands of
tho receiver.
