DEVICES MUST GO

At the meeting OF the Board of Po-
lice Commissioners Tuesday night. the
question of automobile signals was
given attention. The board 10 OF the
opinion that the original signal, the
''honk -honk" horn. is all-sufncient.
and 1t Is probable that others may
be abolished.
Numbers of inventors have devoted
their attention for the past year or
two TO producing the most ear-split-
ting. nerve-shattering devices that hu-
man ingenuity can conceive. Motor
lists have eagerly purchased each new
device, and the old-style horn has be-
come practically obsolete.
Thirty-six men were placed on the
trafflc force. They will work in four
shifts Of nine men each, and will be
on trafic duty once a month. When
not engaged at traffic work. they will
do regular patrol work.
Tho purchasing OF two automobiles.
one patrol wagon for the Third Dis
trict and the other for the trafic
squad, was authorised.
The board will request the Admin
istrative Board to instruct the sur
geons on the city. ambulances to obey
the orders Of police station sergeants

AN ASPECT OF PATRIOTISM
Narrow-mindednes is the essence of
patriotism. One cannot be broad
minded and be patriot. Few will
deny that President Wilson is a
broad-minded man; yet he is not a
patriot, in the common conception of
the term, for he wrote: eve ask
nothing more for America than we
would ask for humanity" From the
jingo's point of view that is treason.
A patriot does not view things in that
light, almost godlike in its impartial
ity. The patriot says: my country
first and humanity afterward, if at
all" ...-.. -..-.- 1888
Love of country! 1t may be all
right, but the love of country that
dictates: Get all you can and kill
and burn for more!" is inspired of
the devil and is the doom of millions.
'fDeutsches uber alles"-there is.
sample of the patriotic creed. We
have it's equal on this side Of the big
pond: my country, right or wrong!"
That breadth of view and fullness
of vision which distinguishes the
enlightened man from his superficial
ly smart brother is intolerant of the
jingoism, the prejudice, the narrow
ness of patriotism. The broad
minded man sees life steadily and
he sees it whole; he tries to look be-
yond mere accidents of birth.
So long as there are patriots; so
long as men think of themselves as

WAGES MORE IMPORTANT
This rag of single tax has been much
chewed and many an air castle built
from the mouth foam. At the best
a single tax law cannot be more than
one point among hundred gained to
bring about just laws.
The taxes are paid only once a
year and are not so terribly steep
then Of course, of more Importance
to the wage or no wage slave is the
issue of daily expenditures and daily
earnings. Those will be principally
untouched by single tax law. The
election of aldermen to the city coun-
Gil is far more important issue

SWEETLAND'S ARREST.-D. F.
Sweetland was arrested for selling
the New York Truthseeker near the
Majestic theater on Sunday morn
ing, Nov. IA. Last winter he was
arrested for the same offense at the
same place and promptly discharged
by Judge Gemmil, who severely
scored the officer making the arrest.
That the arrest was merely a mat
ter of spite on the part Of the police
department there can be no doubt.
When Mr.. Sweetland told a police
man that he had been once arrested
and discharged he replied: There are
other judges"
They first booked him under Sec
ton !, 432' of the city ordinances, for
selling without peddler's license.
When they found that this would not
hold, as no such license is required
to sell papers, they shifted to Sec
ton 1,773, which makes it a INSIDE
.meanor for a hack driver and others
not to move on when told to do SO

Clerk Charles w. Erskine, comprising
the force of desk clerks of the last
legislature in the house of representa-
tives, finished the task of revising the
house journal and calendar of the ses.
sion having been carried three days
over the time allotted them by the
legislature, as only pay for 25 days
was allowed them and the time expired
last Wednesday. The work of revising
the records of the last house, however,
was heavier than that of the ordinary
session and the records Of the last two
days were exceptionally difficult to
correct on account of the disorder and
rush attendant upon adjournment. The
records show that there was a total
of GOA roll calls in the house during
the session, which, figured at three
minutes each, indicated that about 8
full days were consumed in taking roll
calls.

Because the government only set
aside 100000 to be divided among the
several states in which forest services
are situated, for forest fire patrol,
State Forester Elliott has been notified
that Oregon S share this year will not
exceed $4,000 whereas this state has
been receiving the maSimum amount,
or $4,000 for the past two years.
Forester Elliott is also requested to
forward a detailed report of the funds
expended in the several counties Of
the state for forest protection work
and to be expended for forest fire con
troll. While last year was considered
the worst in 10 years for fire risk, on
account of the prolonged drought and
heavy loss of valuable timber was only
averted by reason of the splendid eff.
ficiency of the forest fire patrol, there
is little or no snow in the mountains
this spring and state Forester Elliott
is fearful Of the consequences but will
exercise additional precautions insofar
as the limited amount Of funds allowed
him by the last legislature will permit.
