STAND BY PRESIDENT WILSON.

1t begins to look like worldwide war
Turkey with all the Moslem hordes at her back has
proclaimed "hOy war;" and her army and navy are al
ready at work
Italy is preparing to act Greece and the Balkan states
will enter the lists against the Turks
Within thirty days is practically certain that nearly
every nation and race in Europe Asia and Africa will be
involved in the greatest most general in scope, most de-
structve to life and property war in the history OF the
world
Will the United States be able to maintain neutrality
and keep from being embroed in the titanic struggle Of
the nations?
That is the issue Of supreme Importance before Amer
ica 1t is greater than the tariff prohibition trust
questions 1t is almost question Of life DEATH be-
Death will reap the harvest if we are forced to take
part in this awful and senseless war.
President Wilson will do his best to keep on terms Of
friendship with all the begerent nations 1t will be
difficult thing to do but the people of the United States
have faith in his ability and feel that he may be trusted
They will vote regardless of party to send back to
congress who will assist him instead of making hard the
difficult task before him by their constant opposition
The president has asked that Senator Chamberlain be
elected The people of Oregon are doubt inclined to
accede to this request because they have to have
faith in the president and his policies but they assaed
with the cry of vote er straight from the Booth men
and the calamity howl that the presidents policies most
of which, like the currency and antitrust bills have not
even gone into effect have ruined the country,
But think of the greater ruin the death and desoaton
which might follow the breaking down of the presidents
peace policy The dispatches in todays newspaperswar
spreading everywhere even the most stoid on
this side Of the shudder when they think of what
may yet happen if the tide of slaughter not soon stayed
1t makes the old tariff issue absurd by comparison
and all this partisan talk vapid and foolish.
The president today needs the assistance of every
American man and woman,

THE STATESMAN AND WITHYCOMBE.

The morning paper is making special fight to elect
Withycombe governor of Oregon Its interest in other
candidates the ticket is not apparent although it is
prohibition paper and Withycombe has been generally
indorsed by the radically "we" element because of his
declaration that he was not in favor Of prohb
ton There must be reason for the Staesmans incon
sisten stand on the governorshp Possibly this
may be found in story reprinted in this issue from the
Portland Daily News Of Saturday 1t asserts that there
is movement on hand to restore the old state printing
graft Wthycombe is said to be in sympathy with certain
hodover state senators who will put the scheme through
In event the plan works out the state printing plant will
be virtually abandoned and the printing farmed out This
will mean pickngs of thousands of dollars at the expense
of the taxpayers for those offices which have pull
The Statesmans principal business is job printing, and
there is no doubt that will have the requisite pull" if
Withycombe is elected

STATE PRINTING
PLANT in DANGER
There Is Reason to Believe that Old
Guard Plans TO Farm Printing Out
Among Faithful Retainers,
lPnrtland Daily News.N J

The saving of over $4,000 month
in the cost of state printing is some
what worth while For each of the
months of July, August and September
the state printing cost $4304l2 less
than it would cost under the-'former
law, and the law that would be in vogue
today if certain elamoring interests had
succeeded in their protestations Of holy
fealty to the dear people,
State ownership of the public printing
department has saved the state 500 ,439..
n in just one year and 90 days of state
ownership. Almost six times the an.
nual salary Of the governor kept in the
state treasury that would have been
spent had the old law lived.
Tax-paying voters will do well, how
ever, not to forget that the state senate
yet contains holdOver members whose
record of opposition to this law would
indicate a further and most serious
menace to it. lnded, the present law
will be succeeded January / by another
law. Under it board of control com.
posed of governor, secretary Of state
and state treasurer will have full con.
troll over the public printing.
But the new law is so framed that
there is ground for clamOr by printers
that the work be secured in the market
on what is known as the contract sys.
TEN. 1t is believed, however, that the
new laws provisions clearly give the
board Of control permission to conduct
the states plant very much as at pres.
ent, and the record TO date would seem
to warrant the board in so doing.
Very soon after the new law takes
effect the legislature will meet. and it
viii be up to that body to remove all
ambiguity from the printing law. The
position Of the candidates in THE pres.
ent campaign has a most significant
bearing on this important matter.
Both the governor and state treas.
urer will be members of the printing
board. The attitude Of Mr.. Smith or
Mr. U'Ren toward the present printing
law are known beyond peradyenture
They would stand unqualfiedly for the
present system, which has been so
signally successful.
The political affiliations Of Mr.
Withycombe are unfayorable. Every.
one Of the known opponents of the pres
ent law are his supporters Those who
might wish to undo it know that they
nave no hope except through supporters
Of Mr.. Withycombe. This is not saying
what Mr., WithycOmbe himself would
do, but 1t is significant and logical
and legitimate political suggestion.
