WHO STARTED THE WARP

Has tho judgment OF the world---or
al least the anti-German world-been
unjust to Emperor wilhelm? asks the
Oregonian. He has been held rcspon-
sible for the present mighty debacle
by most lovers OF peace and haters OF
miIitarism. He could have prevented
the collIsion: but he did not. He was
accredited with ambitions OF an Alex
ander and the designs Of Napoleon.
He had for many years been getting
ready 10 use the mailed fist and when
the time seemed opportune the war
Lord struck.
Early In the war there were stories
that tho Emperor was really against
the war, but they were not widely
credited. But now the effort TO put
Emperor Wilhelm forth as an apostle
Of peace Is revived by Gertrude Ather-
ton. the writer who sends to the New
York Times letter from woman In
Germany whom she describes as
very gifted British woman who has
been married for a number OF years
to a German occupying high posi-
ton" There is this paragraph:
Then we knew that the Emperor
did not mean war-in private he had
so often spoken of his mission to keep
the peace. We knew how he held the
war party back, even though they re-
viled him and accused him of over
partiality for England-of a love OF
ease-of taking fine words into his
mouth, but meaning to sacrifice Ger
many to his ciinging to peace Each

THE OFFICIAL BALLOT.

The Secretary of State has sent us
q sample of the ballots, which the
voters will have to use in the Novem-
Der election. Surely, it is formidable
document. 1t is four columns wide,
representing the Democratic, the Pro-
gressive, and the Socialist parties, and
one column blank for the expression
of individual choice And it is %
inches long, over tWo-thirds of the en-
tire space being needed for the pro-
posed constitutional amendments. Only
those who have plenty of time, or who
have thoroughly familiarized them
selves beforehand with the subjects to
be voted upon, can intelligently do so
after reaching the polls Nevertheless
a very urgent duty rests upon the
voters to give these amendments con-
scientious attention, and obviously
this should be done in advance of the
election. Between now and then,
synopsis of the amendments will ap-
pear in these columns, so that the
average voter may have his task SIM
plified for him at least.

STRANGE IGNORANCE.

The Mansfield Enterprise, in men
tioning that a national flag will be
hoisted over the court house at that
place during a parish fair, makes the
following damaging admission:
"The last time that U. S. flag float
ed over the court house at this place,
was several years since, when several
boys found an old flag hid away in a
box in the old court house, and they
improvised a flag pole and unfurled it
to the breeze. The flag was that car
ried by the 130th Illinois regiment, and
was captured at the battle of Mansfield
on the 9Th of April, 1864, and it had
been stored away as a relic for about
forty years, and was so rotten that the
wind whipped it into strings within a
day or two. The sad part of the affair
was that the boys thought it was an
old Confederate banner"
And even sadder that they did not
know their country's flag.
