A VANISHED WAR CLOUD

The great black war cloud that only
few weeks ago obscured the whole Euro
pean sky, and from which the civilize
world expected to see at any time tn
thunderbolts Of great continental wa
emerge, has dwindled away into tn
nothingness of the blue above. Turke,
mas once more assumed it's chronic roll
or the sick man Of Europe; its troop.
are evacuating Thessaly; Greece mus
pay the price of it's temerity and of the
cowardlce and mismanagement of its
military captains and it's statesmen
Crete will not be free; Armenian mas
sacres will doubtless be resumed at the
bloody pleasure of the Turk; and, when
we say these things, we say that the
dove of peace is once more winging its
unfrightened way over the map of
Europe.
There were two great primary causes
that governed the concert of the powers.
One was the balance Of power, the bogy
man that has scared the warlike rulers
Of Europe into being good children for
near score and half of years. The
other was the commercial spirit, the
money power, that in these modern days
has come to control not only the brains
but the swords of Europe And back of
them both was Russia, patiently wait
ing.
1t has been said that peace hath its
victories no less than war" But the
victories of peace, in the relations of the
great powers, have cast blot upon their
records that time cannot efface. The
blot is red. 1t is the blood of the mas
sacred to the Armenians.
That the policy Of the powers, particu-
larly with respect to that of Great Brit
ain, was dictated by the money power,
cannot be doubted. Money was more
powerful than honor. greater than the
spirit of Christianity, stronger than the
combined armies and navies of Europe.
1t permitted the bankrupt Turk to shake
his bloody sword. reeking with the blood
IF over $4,000 Christian victims, defiant
y in the face of the civilized world. 1t
averted the contingency of war; not be- !
cause war is bloody, because it might be |
wrong, or because it would sacrifice hu-
nan life, but because war would injure, |
possibly overthrow, itself 1t throttles |
he spirit of national honor and dictates
he policies of nations. What will be
he end if this condition of affairs, which
9 yearly growing worse, is to continue
without let or hindrance? Is not the
loud of plutocracy infinitely more dam
,erous than the cloud of war?

CALIFORNIA OPINION
The Menace Of Trusts

The Standard Oil company has COM
menced to crush local oil company in
Los Angeles, which refused to sell out to
the trust. That the Standard Oil COM
pany will win there can be no doubt.
for, with it's millions of profits, it can af-
ford to sell oil in Los Angeles at a figure
that in time will certainly bankrupt the
local concern. The way to avoid such
proceedings would be to pass a law pro-
hibiting growing monopoly from SELL
ing its product any cheaper in one mar
ket than another, plus, of course, the
cost of freight from the point of dis
tribution.- Bee.
sertion that the long association or BOY
and a wheel will produce bicycle spine,
a bicycle eye and bicycle face, is'it not
reasonable to conclude that the same
combination has developed the bicycle
brain? Something ails the youths who
twist themselves into colicky positions
and scorch through the crowded streets
like maniacs.-Orange County Herald.

SAN J0SE'S cAARTER FIGHT.
Personal Canvass TO Be Conducted Among
the Voters of the Garden

SAN JOSE, Jan. 29-An enthusiastic
meeting of the New Charter Club was held
last evening. 1t was reported that 5000
pamphlets containing a clear and concise
synopsis of the new charter were being
printed and would be ready for distribu-
ton next Wednesday.
1t was decided to give the distribution
of these pamphlets into the hands of the
precinct workers, and all voters of the
city who cannot be reached personally
will be sent copies of the documents
through the mails.
The importance OF personal canvass OF
the voters so that any objections to the
charter that might be made could be met
and overcome was recognized. f. G. En-
sign reported that he had seen 100 voters
in his precinct and of these only two ex-
pressed themselves as being opposed to
the charter.
Similar encouraging reports were re-
ceived from others.
Mayor Koch stated that there was no
doubt that the Common Council at its
meeting next Monday evening would pass
an ordinance calling for an election upon
the new charter to be held on Febru'
ary %.
1t was decided to hold number of
mass-meetings during the campaign. 1t
was reported that President Jordan of
Stanford and Mayor Phelan of San Fran
cisco could be engaged for one meeting,
and that occasion will he made a grand
rally of the new charter forces.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 29.-In Septem-
Der last Herman Bruendel, q retired
midd Ie-aged saloon keeper, living near
San Jose, Cal, came to Portland in search
of his young wife. The couple had been
welded about one year only. He was so
years old she but II.
1t was money match, but all the wealth
the old man showered upon his youthful
wife failed to win her affections. She un-
fortunately fell i'll love with Harry
Bernard, young San Francisc gam bier,
who frequently visited San Jose.
The result of these visits was that in the
latter part of August Bernard and Mrs.
Bruendel eloped, coming to Portland and
bringing a considerable sum of the old
mans money with them.
Three weeks later Bruendel came to
Portland and succeeded in locating his
wife.
The young woman not only expressed
great contrition for her 'desertion of her
husband, but she was prepared to return
home with him. She persuaded him,
however, to give Bernard $1,000 In coin so
as to avoid scandal.
Bruendel was again seen here to-day,
having come from Seattle. almost "broken
up" with another tale of domestic woe.
All went well at his home. he says. until
the early part of this month, when Ber-
nard again came to San Jose.
After Bernard had had several inter
views with Mrs. Bruendel she at last con-
fessed to having more affection for the
young gambler than for the old hus-
band who was lavishing his wealth upon
her. She again deserted him on the 18th
inst. accompanied by the same character

On this occasion they went to Seattle,
leaving a note for Bruendel to that effect.

any thing should they be reached. The
two small sway" safes were completely
wrecked by dynamite. Speaking tonight
of the company's loss, Mr.. Shelby said:
ut is impossible at this time to esti-
mate our exact loss. It all depends upon
the condition of the contents of the
through safe. According to Messenger
Buffers statement there was very little of
value in the small safes. Our loss will in
all probability amount to very little
should the matter contained in the large
safe not be injured. Until we are able to
break into this can give no estimate"
Richard Koesler, manager of the
Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, is of the
opinion that the robbers cannot escape
capture. The reward of $1,000 for their
apprehension. he thinks, will prove a
sufficient incentive to insure the arrest OF
the bandits. His advices tonight state
that every inch of ground in the vicinity
of the spot where the hold-up occurred is
being carefully patrolled by experienced
trailers, and steps are being taken by State
and county officials to begin man hunt
on prodigious scale.
Portland City authorities claim that
they have excellent reasons for believing
that the robbery was planned in this place
and that the outlaws are well-known Port
land crooks. They decline to mention any
names, however, or give out such informa-
tion as they assert to be in their posses

Governor Sadler has signed the bill legal
izing contests in Nevada every resident of
Reno is on the alert to prove that his
town should be selected as the location of

quarters as to how many persons could be
accommodated in Reno were received
here to-day. The answers sent to all were
that at least 25UO or 5000 strangers could
be easily housed, and under pinch
double this number could be accommo-

Everything indicates that Reno will be
