As a result we have little dead wood.

II HE effort Of the powers. that is
4 England. France, the United
states and Germany. TO adopt some
general line Of persuasion or counsel to
influence the Car towards a conclu-
sion of hostilities has placed Emperor
William in a delicate position.
It is known that he has exercised a
powerful influence with the Car. and
IL has been in the direction OF vigor-
Gus prosecution Of the war. After
having given this advice he cannot
now stultify himself by counseling
peace. TO do so might reveal a sinis-
ter motive.
There are commentators ungracious
enough to say that william wished to
see the naughty nation to the east hui
INFLATED. and that he was sufficiently
informed of the Japanese character
and prowess to know what the result
would be.
But he did not anticipate such a
series Of overwhelming successes; and
since the recent naval battle ne is he
coming alarmed for the future OF Rns-
sia- For the Car TO continue to send
raw recruits to the front to be wiped
out and with his people awed, dis
heartened and rehellious, there must
come an explosion. and what form il
may take nobody can guess Anarchy
across his borders would not suit the
emperor. A republic would bs even
more distastefuL Consequently, Em-
peror William wants peace but is IN
the position OF not being able to coun-
sci IT, He may have played HIS game

W HEN Uncle Joe Cannon came
" to open the Lewis and Clark
Exposition at Portland his democratic
ways shocked the enete citizens of
that section where rolls the Oregon. -
and almost resulted ia no grafton be-
ing given.
According to the newspaper reports.
Uncle Joe was warm when he reached
the platform, so he stepped to the
front Of the waiting throng. seized the
water pitcher and bathed his head for
time Not satisfied with this. he
stepped to the front again, dived into
the pitcher and secured the lump of
ice therein. This he used freely much
to the edihcation Of the spectators.
The trouble came when he was po-
litely informed that the water was in
tended for drinking purposes and that
the shower baths were in the hotel
That made Uncle Joseph mad. He
swore by the great HON spoon that
there should be no oration. and so got
himself all "het" up again. But finally
his anger cooled without the use Of
more ice, and the oratory was not lost.
Now Uncle Joe should not have
been disturbed at his ablutions. The
democratic ways Of a lifetime cannot
be easily set aside. When the hired
man comes from the field he eats q
basin Of water and douses his head in
It until he feels comfortable. and I'm
cls Joe is a sort OF hired man.
We expect to see his democracy de-
Tended by Tom Watson and in the coll
umns Of the commoner. and we should
not be surprised IL this simple and nat
ural act boosted him into the Presi-
dency. True democracy means to dc
what you want to DO. and what are
termed proprieties are ignored
