Guyot From Modern School.
Albert Guyot (Delage), belongs to
the modern school of French race
drivers, trained by the hard knocks
of experience. What he does not
know about automobiles is not worth
knowing. One of his earliest victories
was the Voiture.te grand prix at
Dieppe, in 1908, when he drove a De-
lage and defeated Boillot, Goux,
Sizaire and Naudin. Since then he
has always had soft, place in his
heart for this car, and whenever it
has raced has been there.
Last year, in the French grand prix,
he prepared for mighty battle
against Peugeot and Sunbeam. While
leading the field a. half distance, his
mechanician vaulted out of the car
before it came to stop and was run
over. Twenty precious minutes were
lost getting him back to conscious
ness and ten minutes more in driving
slowly to the pits After that Guyot
showed what he could do, but had to
be content with fifth place. He got
his revenge a few weeks later in the
grand prix of LIE Mans, however,
when he came in second behind his
team-mate Bablot, at an average Of
76 miles an hour.
Guyot is an aviator of note, having
helped Bleriot prepare for his first
fight from France to England, and be-
ing the first man to fly over the Rus
sian steppes. Last year he handled an
English Sunbeam at Indianapolis and
finished fourth.

RELATION OF RAILROAD
AND PUBLIC.

In deciding eastern rate cases the
Interstate Commerce Commission set
down the following as a governing
principle in its regulation of rail-
roads:
The public owes to the private
owners of these properties when we'll
located and managed the fun oppor-
tunity to earn fair return on their
investment, and the carriers owe to
the public an efficient service al reas-
enable rates"
That is equity. Under the old sys-
TEN the roads arbitrarily fixed rates
regardless of reasonable profits and
rendered Indifferent service to suit
its ends. The people got tired of
that and forced such remedial meas
ures as the interstate commerce bill
At first the roads resented legislative
interference and some managers. such
as President Baer, for instance. de-
MED the right OF the government TO
meddle with the operation of private
ly owned properties. However. the
authority of law TO regulate rates was
soon established and accepted b. the
railroads. In many cases they changed
management, establishing an entirely
new official regime, in order to get
away from the old prejudices against
government regulation, and set at
work readjusting usages of the road
to meet new conditions. But the peo-
pie are still chatting from the old
abuses. In many instances they have
lost sight of the necessity for efficient
service and demand reduced rates
that will not leave margin enough TO
properly upkeep railroad properties
and render the service occasion de-
mands. That is foolhardy, and it is
refreshing to see that the Interstate
Commerce Commission is not so far
pandering to the unthinking demand
of the people to get back" az the
railroads for past abuses at the ex-
pense of present service, but that it
sets down such reasonable and ration
al principles as here quoted from in
its eastern decision.

"UNEARNED INCREMENT"

OF late years there has been much
said Of "unearned increment" The
socialist complains of it. The single
taxer lays stress upon it and the spec
ulator profits by it. The term is lit
tie understood in its common usage.
AS applied to land, "unearned in
crement" is connected intimately with
community made values"
Should a New Yorker or Los An
gelesian purchase a lot in Ashland
and simply hold the title, without
ever improving it. living in this COM
munity, or contributing anything to
the development of values, and by
virtue of the enterprise of the COM
munity in building and developing
the price of the lot should be in
creased. without the least effort on
the part of the owner, the 'unearned
increment" would equal the differ
ence between the price the owner
paid for the lot and its present SELL
ing value. Or the advance in the lot
value would be community earned"
value. This, the socialists contend,
should not by rights belong to the
owner. but to the community. And
the single taXer desires to tax such
value out of the lot so that speculat-
ors will not be able to reap profit
without any contribution to the de-
velopment of the community.
In other words, they contend that
a lot should be used in order to be
made to pay.
1t is all q very fine theory. but on
the Pacific coast. where nine-tenths
OF the investments are speculative. to
squeeze the "unearned increment
out of value would break the whole

WHEN FLEET MEETS FLEET.

BY luck we mean chance blow or

With battling nations the deter

leon said, armies crawl on their bel
lies.
The side which gets hungry soon
est is the side that first weakens.
Thus far the German advance has
swept Belgium into a corner and
made big inroads into the defense
of the allies. 1t may land a knock
out; but, unless it shall do so soon,
a test of sea power is bound to be
sought. for It is by sea that Europe
must be fed.
Thus far England's suprmacy al

while England and France draw their
food supply from all nations with a
surplus to sell.
Odds thus unequal Germany can
face for time; but il the war shall
be prolonged it is plain that she must

So don't be surprised to read any
day of a sea fight that will make all
previous naval battles look puny in
comparison.

THE SUCCESSION.

Mr.. Roosevelt picked Taft as his
successor. It proved an exceedingly
unpopular pick. 1t resulted in the
disruption and defeat of the republi-
can party. At the end of Roosevelt's
term he was one of the most popular
presidents ever retiring from the Of
flee, and because he backed Taft the
pc pie accepted him. He proved to
be entirely out of harmony with the
thought of the rank and file of the
party. Roosevelt was a commoner,
but his hand-picked successor proved
TO be an aristocrat. He was progress
i've, but his successor was reaction
airy. You can't always tell. Candi-
date Smith may prove altogether a
different governor than may be ex-
pected by those who back Smith be-
cause they like West. Not a bad
idea for the American people to pick
their officers on individual merit in
stead of on the advice of self-appoint-
ed advocates.

The First Wife.

When a true man asks woman to
be his wife it is because he loves her,
and it doesn't make a fraction of
difference what she does so long as
memory holds its own and reason
lasts she will live in his thoughts
and, dead or divorced, she will come
back to him in his moods and
dreams. She was the queen of his
home, the companion of his first
manhood and involuntarily he will
compare other women with her. The
sound of her voice comes back to
him, he hears her gentle laugh, her
timid, honest brown eyes look into
his when he is alone. and the per-
fume that was her favorite he can
detect among a hundred others. The
rare dishes she with her dainty little
hands prepared for him, and thou
sand other things bring her back to
mind him of his loss.

along the highway. and branch roads
or trails should be made to the noun
tain peaks and waterfalls. Unless the
Willamette Valley counties bestir
themselves soon to construct modern
highways west of the Cascade Noun
tains to the California line and
through the Coast Range and to erect
modern hotels at the springs and
mountains and caves. they will not
share the benefits of tourist travel to
nearly the extent they should.
The prospect is that the volume of
travel through the west next year
will be enormous. Those who are
shut out of Europe will be apt to
seek entertainment at the San Fran
cisco exposition and TO extend their
travels all along the coast. Farmers
will be unusually prosperous through
the sale of bumper crops at war
prices. and the purchases they are
likely TO make will extend prosperity
to the manufacturing industries.
Foreign trade will be given a squirt
by the war and by the opening of
the Panama canal. Flush times
succeeding a long depression will
give many people increased means
for pleasure tours at the very time
when travel on the familiar Eu-
ropean route has become impossible
A combination of causes will thus
bring tourists to the west.

BE SLOW TO BELIEVE THE ILL
THAT YOU READ.

The passions OF war. ct best, pro-
duce many cruelties. But we advise
our readers to be slow to believe a
tenth part of the charges and coun-
tercharges that have been or will be
made OF atrocities in the wars wake.
Not all who make these charges
are willful slanderers, but their Wis
ion is disturbed.
A little while ago, for example. We
were reading daily reports of how
brutally German officials and SOL
diers were treating American tourists
caught in the war tide.
But it turns out that not only
were these tales false. but that the
reverse was unexpectedly every
American returning from Germany
tells OF the exceptional courtesy and
kindness with which Americans were
treated there.
Except for a few days at the wars
beginning when every German off
cial had his hands full with getting
the troops started. the consideration
shown for Americans in Germany was
not only all that We could ask. but
actually went beyond what might
reasonably have been expected.
So now. when We read tales Of al
legged brutalism in the wake OF an
army's march, we accept them-not.
War is bad enough at best; so bad
that il doesn't need lies or distor-
tions TO condemn il.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
His Mother.


The oldest emblem of deathless af-
fection is the natural love of a wom-
man for her child. Maternal love re-
mains, indeed, a fixed. conventional
type, as if the tender eminence be-
longed to every mother.
To illustrate the child's hold upon
the mother no ordinary instance
would be new; but an incident in the
last hours of a condemned criminal
furnishes one OF the crucial cases,
says the Boston Transcript.
Two days before his execution a
telegram was brought to him in his
cell. He snatched it and tore it
open with an oath. In an instant
a change came over his sullen face.
He threw up his hands with a cry
and sob. The chaplain took the tel
egram and read these words: Your
mother is loving yet" The message
had come two thousand miles. The
mother in her distant home had not
heard of her runaway boy for three
years. The Young prodigal had not
changed his name; and one day in a
brief newspaper mention she read of
him-a murderer condemned to die.
1t was too late to save him. All her
bleeding heart could send him in his
ignominy and ruin was that fond sem
tence.
An anecdote of a wreched looking
tramp, arrested for vagrancy the 9TH
er day in Brooklyn, tells us, on the
other hand. something of the hold a
mother has upon her child. When
the man was searched by the officers
a soiled photograph of a young wom-
an was found in his clothing. Beg
gars' explanations usually find a
more credulous audience outside of
the police station, but the officers
heard the tramp's story and believed
it. He declared that the photograph
was a picture of his mother.
She's an old woman now" he
said, IF she's alive. I've carried that
picture for many a year. l didn' t
follow the road she marked out for
me-the more shame for me, but her

One of our great men says that
one of the most unfortunate phases
of modern Civilization is the drift
away from the farm, the drift of the
country youth to the city, which has
an indescribable fascination for him.
His vivid imagination clothes it with
Arabian Nights possibilities and
joys. The country seems tame and
commonplace after his first dream of
the city. To him it is synonymous
with opportunity, with power, with
pleasure. He cannot rid himself of
its fascination until he tastes its
emptiness. He cannot know the
worth of the country and how to ap-
preciate the glory of its advantages
and opportunities until he has seen
the shallowness and sham of the city
