their weapons against civilians whether

THINK THEY OWN THE EARTH
Continental officers in course of time
have taught themselves to believe that they
form class Of society which Is as far
earth. They have come to believe in the
divine right of the military man to domin-
ate the world. and TO trample ununiformed
persons under foot as slaves created solely
for the purpose of paying taxes necessary
for the support OF vast armies. and, of
course. to provide the human material
necessary to keep up the numerical strength
OF the army. Frequently 1t happens that
women members of civilian families are
regarded by officers as suitable wives for
themselves, but only when they receive
doweries which liberate the objectionable
military man from his burden Of debts and
enable him to live comfortably ever after
ward; and in such cases, the wife has to
out herself off from her inferior civilian
relatives. and become member OF the
dominant military caste.
Apart from the great capitals, where the
leveling influences of the age are irresisti-
bic. there Is not a garrison town in Ger
many or Austria in which there is not a
broad gap between the military and the
civilian classes. The officers have their
own exclusive circle OF society, composed
Of men OF their own class, with their wives
and children, and keep quite aloof from the
mere civilians, looking down upon them
from the vast height OF their alleged mill
tary superiority.
Anyone who has spent any length Of
time in continental garrison town knows
that the case, as il is thus put is rather
understated than exaggerated. Moreover.
this caste system is encouraged and fos-
tered by the German and Austrian govern
ments. for the creation of a solid military
aristocracy Is regarded as an effective bar
rier to the rising tide OF social Democracy.

MILITARY HONOR"
Inspired by such means with an inflated
opinion of their own Importance In the
world. continental officers have acquired
distorted and unnatural ideas OF what they
call their military honor" and they have
constructed q code in accordance with
these abnormal conceptions OF right and
wrong. The honor of an officer. in their
opinion. is something altogether different
from the honor OF a civilian IL such a thing
even can be said to exist, and consequently,
according to their scheme of reasoning

BERLIN, Aug O.-At frequent intervals
the rest OF the civilized world is surprised
by news that German Austrian or Rus

or severely wounded him. In the majority
of cases a sentence is added to the dispatch
saying that the officer in question has not
been arrested and will not be called to an
account which sends a civilian to the gall

CHANGE TO REPEAL
OBNOXIOUS EDDY LAW
Let Mining Men Exert Their lnflu.
enCe In the Extra Session Of
The Legislature.

II the mining men of the state
have any influence. now ia the time
for them to exert It and force the
repeal Of the obnoxious Eddy law.
II members Of the state Legislature
from the mining districts, especially
those from eastern Oregon, know on
which side their political bread Is
buttered, now Is the time for them to
stand pat and force this issue on the
pumpkin pushing statesmen Of the
Willamette valley, who passed the
oppressive measure and who are now
clamoring for an extra session and an
amendment to the tax levy law.
The opportunity for reprisal is self
evident. Read the following press
dispatch from Salem:
Governor Cham mberlain has decided
that he will not call an extra session
Of the legislature unless he Is re-
quested to do SO by majority of
the members of both houses. On
investigation he has learned that the
state treasury will not suffer for
lack of funds, owing to the fact
that no levy can be made this year.
The state finances are In good con-
dition and the county and city
finances Of the state in general will
not suffer materially II the tax levy
is not made.
The governor says that he would
not hesitate to call an extra session
II the houses would meet and pro.
vide for the tax levy, then adjourn
without further legislation or delay,
but he is Of the belief that II the
special session be called q number
Of business measures would be
forced on the Legislature. and the
expenses be greater than the loss to
the state through the error In the
tax law. The governor intimates
that he is certain this cumbersome
and extra business would be forced
on the legislature.
