Actions of Great Men

After all, it is only in plays and mis- leading biographies that great men, even with world-shaking decisions to take, re- gard things eternaly from the "height of their cravat" The people who have done the biggest things in history. if we knew the truth about them. would prob ably turn out to have been engaged in manner which might seem to betray ar imperfect appreciation of the situa- ton.
 Now comes King Ferdinand with a claim to be added to the company of the great 'insoueiants." He ought, of course to have employed differently his last hours at Sofia before he quilted the town 10 put his fortune to the touch and win or lose 1t all and probably some historian of the 25th century will recount how, pacing up and down the eastern turret, the king haulted suddenly and declared in solemn tones, Before the dawn of another year mass shall be sung at the altar of St. Sophia" But there is much more semblance of truth in the story which appears in the Berlin news papers.
 King Ferdinand is said to have one of the finest chronological collections in all Europe. An enthusiast in these matters, who has possibly not yet heard of the war. sent off to him parcel of rare but terhies. They arrived just before King Ferdinand left for the front. Dismissing tll thought of the campaign from his mind the King examined with the great est interest the new arrivals classified them. and personally carried out the clas- sihcation. And then he said tranquilly, ''Now let us go to Stara Tagora.'
 
 In 1915 the German fleet will consist of sD battleships, 20 armored cruisers and q protected cruisers. besides smaller war ships There are the present plans of the imperial naval council. which has Sll9,- PIG, 750 to spend next year-to build ships for some other power to win away from the fatherand or destroy in battle.
 German naval enthusiasm is confined to the official class and to the stockholders in the big shipping firms. Even among the sailors of the empire there is little or no fealty to the fleet. II is a mooted question how the navy would fare, even if raised to the standard intented by this, the largest sum ever voted for sea fight ing purposes in single year-if Germany should meet the ships of England in war.

In this great district the wild

a curse to the natives which

of villainous halfbreeds DOM

such Indians as would sup

WILL NOT FILE
ANTI SINGLE
TAX PETITIONS

In consideration of the fact that
the state tax commission has a num-
ber of measures which it seeks to
have enacted into laws at the COM
ing election, the Oregon Equal Tax
League has agreed to not put its
anti-single tax measures Of the COM
mission.
The league had secured over $4,000
signatures to the petitions asking for
the initiation of the law, and with
ite 10000 members was prepared to
make fight for its measure. The
commission fearing that putting it on
the ballot would result in confusing
the voters and probably in the de-
feat Of all measures asked that 1t be
withdrawn and the request was COM
piled with.

HE ASKED TO Be
RELEASED FROM
HIS CONTRACT

Finding himself confronted by a
refusal upon the part of the banks of
the city to honor warrants not
signed by the mayor, but some au-
thorized in his stead, Geo. Gordon,
contractor for the construction of
lateral sewer district No. Is and 20,
requested the city council last night
to be relieved Of his contract.
When the awarding of this con-
tract came up the mayor declined to
sign it on the ground that it called
for concrete instead of vitrified pipe.
The council instructed Alderman
Pennebaker to sign the contract in
place Of the mayor.
Learning that the alderman would
also have to sign the warrants, as
the mayor emphatically declared he
would not the contractor consulted
a number Of the banks as to whether
they could accept them. Because
there is a question as to the legality
of the proceedings, and litigation
might result, the banks indicated an
unwillingness to take them, and the
contractor not desiring to bear the
burden Of litigation the question in
the courts, wants to have his con-
tract cancelled.
With the view of further investl-
eating the subject, it was referred to
the sewer committee.

would be $780, 1t was authorized to
