THE MAROWIJNE SURVI-
VORS

n RUTH is often stranger
" than fiction and there is
a possibility there may
be some basis for the story
that survivors of the liner Mar
owijne are held prisoners on a
little island off the coast of
Nucatan.
1t is weeks since the Marc
wine disappeared in the storm
that ravaged Galveston. 1t
may have foundered with all
on board. No one knows. If
any of the crew or passengers
escaped, they have been lost
to sight. There have been re-
ports of floating wreckage,
but after long search of Gulf
islands and the Mexican coast
nothing has been found to
throw light on the fate of the
ship.
The story of five men being
held prisoners may be the gos-
sip of waterfront loungers. 1t
may be a fraudulent scheme to
secure a reward for informa-
ton. Stevenson would have
made a romance of it and en-
broidered it with fancy to look
like fact. But who can say
with certainty that it may not
be true? There are parts of
the coast of the Gulf and
South America where more
happens than the outside
world ever dreams of, and
where the law of the sea runs
as weakly as the law of the
land.

grows less. The kaiser is show
ing readiness to observe our
rights on the sea and as far as
principles are concerned there
is no longer any serious differ
ences between the two coun-
tries.
With this condition existing
there need be little fear of a
break, even should more ships
be sunk with Americans
aboard. When war is on it is
not always possible for a gov
eminent to keep exact control
of its fighters. A submarine
may sink a ship through mis-
take as to its character. In
such cases it may be expected
due apology and reparation
will be made.
The important thing is that
Germany officially recognizes
the principle for which Presi-
dent Wilson contended. The
freedom of the seas is of vital
consequence not only to this
nation but to the whole world.
It was through matchless di-
plomacy this victory was won
by the United States. We Sc
cured respect for our rights
without firing a shot or with
out mobolizing a single regi-
ment for warfare.
If the European countries
had shown some Woodrow
Wilson judgment and ability a
year ago last summer and had
refrained from their cutthroat
preparations to fight the war
would have been avoided.

A MENACE
~ OF in years, have repub-
III lican politicians been
~ such a menace to the re-

~ such menace to the re-
publican party in this state.
The situation is much the
same as when these politicians
disrupted the party to resist
ing introduction of popular
government in Oregon. That
was a day of land frauds and
use of public position to fur
ther the schemes of low poll
tics and corrupt politicians.
The federal court records of
this state reek with nauseous
descriptions of what took
place.
These politicians are now in
league with water power in
Iterests and timber land inter-
tests and railroad interests and
other interests that want to
further despoil what is left of
the public domain in Oregon.
Not in years have corporation
lists been so powerfully en-
trenched in state affairs as
now. Not in years have they
been so bold in their plans.
Not in years have keen and
able politicians been so devot-
ed to their service. Not in
years have political and off
cial support and newspaper
support ambled along so will
lingly, so aggressively and so
unabashed hand in hand with
powers and forces that cast
longing eyes on grant lands,
timber reserves and water
powers.
The midnight resolution"
slipped through the legislature
at 8 a. m. in the closing hours
of the late session is illustra-
ton of what is going on be-
hind the scenes. This covert
resolution deliberately put the
Legislature on the side of the
railroad in the land grant suit.
1t was discredited by the de-
cision of the court which de-
clared all except a S2.5O-per
acre equity of the railroad in
the lands forfeited to the pub
lie. Speaking of the resolu-
ton in its decision, the supreme
court said:
The interest and hope ex-
pressed seem like a prayer
against the governments con-
tentiOn.
And indeed, the resolution
was a prayer against the gov
ernment's contention" and a
prayer for the railroads con-
tention, and it constitutes one
of the greatest pieces Of skull
duggery ever perpretrated by
an Oregon legislature.
The same kind Of political
manipulators that wormed the
midnight resolution" through
the legislature will be in force
at the grant land conference at
Salem today, and will be in the
thick of things in the water
power conference soon to be
held. They have the wheels
we'll creased. They nave their
plans we'll laid.
If they are able to wheedle
or overwhelm the delegates
and succeed in forcing the ac-
ton they desire, they will
break the back Of the repub-
lican party in this state and
prepare the way for a demo-
cratic governor three years
hence.
The republican party in the
state deserves a better fate

Proud man comes humbly

used at the rate of two pounds to
each fifty gallons of water.
Even in the small home orchard Of
a dozen or more trees it will be found
highly profitable to adopt a system of
spraying which will control not only
tent caterpillars but such serious
pests as the codling moth, canker-
worms, various bud and leaf-feeding
insects. and which will greatly re-
duce injury from the curculio.
On stone fruits, such as cherry,
peach and plum, arsenicals are likely
to cause injury to foliage and must be
used with caution it at all. On such
trees the arsenate of lead is prefer
able, as it is less injurious to foliage,
and on all trees sticks much better. In
spraying for the tent caterpillar only,
appliances should be made while the
caterpillars are yet small, as these
succumb more quickly to poisons than
those more nearly full grown, and
prompt treatment stops further de
foliation of the trees.
