In other words even with the
increased danger the war risk
insurance amounts to but one
and a half per cent to English

were worth 81 per bushel the
war insurance would be but a

Therefore it may be seen the
war insurance is almost insig
nificant in connection with the
price of wheat.

By use of the river freight

1t appears necessary that
Portland make use of the river
in order to save its grain busi'

If they wish Umatilla county

All these things of course
are conditioned on there being

From the New York WORLDLY }

(From the New York World,)
Has Eilhu Root ever read The
Hague convention OF 1907 respect
ing the rights and duties Of neutral
powers and persons in case Of war
on land?"
We are impelled to raise this Ques-
tion by the extraordinary statement
made by Mr.. Root in his war speech
before the republican state conven-
ventiOn.
The invasion of Belgium was
breach OF contract with us for the
maintenance OF a law of nations which
was the protection Of our peace, and
the interest which sustained the con-
tract justified an objection to its
breach" MR
Mr.. Root was secretary of state
when this convention was framed and
he was the most eminent member OF
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions when the German troops invad'
ed Belgium We have already dis
cussed his strange silence, extending
over a period of one year and six
months and thirteen days, during
which he never referred to the inya-
sion of Belgium We are now COM
PEELED to believe that he never read
the convention that he describes as
a contract
The Hague declaration that "the
territory of neutral powers is inviol-
able" was never a contract 1t con-
tanned no provisions for Its enforce
ment When the United states rati-
fled that convention It merely gave
its word not to invade the territory
of neutrals, but it assumed no re-
sponsibility in the way of preventing
less conscientious nations from invad-
ing the territory of neuuals And OF
all the governments that ratified the
convention, not one has ever protest
ed against the invasion of Belgium
or interpreted such invasion as q
breach of contract.
The convention about which Mr.
Root wakes so eloquent does not ex'
ist in relation to this war. 1t nulli,
fled itself by the terms Of Article 20
which provide that
THE provisions OF the present con
yention do not apply except as be
tween contracting parties, and ther
only if all the belligerents are parties
to the convention.
Serbia never ratified the convention
nor did Great Britain. of the cOun
tries that have since come into th'
war, neither Italy nor Turkey mol
Bulgaria ever ratified II The con
vention that Mr.. Root describes as
contract is neither a contract nor {
convention. 1t is nothing If thu
United states were forced into th'
war We should not be obligated to re
spect any of it's provisions It doe
not apply
Mr. Root is a very able information
al lawyer. 1t is untninkable that h
should have deliberately sought to de
ceive the country about the meanini
Of this convention. or that for tn
paltry purpose of making partisan
capital he should have undertaken u
bcsmirch the honor Of his own coun
try The obvious explanation is tina
he never read the convention. Or i
he read it he had forgotten its pro
visions Evidently he carelessly ac
cepted Theodore Rooseyelts magazine
articles as statements OF fact, a blum
der which might be natural enough
to George w. Perkins but which cal
hardly be excused in Elihu Root.

BRYAN FOR WILSON

m HOSE anu-NllSon pollu-
W clans and editors who
have been drawing great
comfort from the thought Bry-
an might fight Wilson for re-
election are in line for bitter
disappointment.
Returning from a visit with
Bryan at his home in Florida,
State Chairman Thompson of
Nebraska says Bryan is in ia.
vor of the presidents renomi-
nation and may be a member
of the solid Wilson delegation
from Nebraska.
The statement is undoubted-
ly authorized and will put a
quietus on the theory that Bry-
an is intending to be the ROose-
velt of the present administra-
ton. He is going to continue
in the role of Bryan and it will
be remembered by some that
the Bryan influence was very
valuable to the Wilson cohorts
at Baltimore.
In the February issue of The
Commoner, Bryan makes the
following explanation of his
relations with the president
For the benefit of those who seem
unable tc understand disagreements
as TO principle, l venture to brins
down to date the personal relations
between the president and myself The
letters that passed between US at th'
time of my resignation ought to bt
accepted by friends of both as suffi
cient proof that there were no person
al differences between us at that time
No personal differences have ariseI
since. The president is doing his dut,
as he sees it. Acting under the re
| sponsibility OF citizen and under
! sense of obligation to those who hav
/ trusted me l am doing my duty as
see it. l am opposing the plan to in
/ crease the appropriations for the arm,
and navy. Just as | would expect th'
president to do if our positions wer'
reversed and he looked upon the sub
ject as I do.
There is certainly nothing il
that statement to indicate per
sonal warfare against the pres
ident. The statement is cor.
roborative of the declaration
by the Nebraska state chair
man.

the country in which. after we are dead, our children and our children's children are to live.
 MT Hughes has shown in his car eer the instinct of efficiency which will guarantee. that under him, the government will once more work with vigor and force. He possesses that habit of straightforward thinking which means that his words will be correlated with his deeds and trans lated into facts. His past career is the warrant for our belief that he will be the unfaltering opponent of that system of invisible government which finds expression in the domina- tion of the party boss and the party machine. His past career is a guar antee that what ever he says before election will be made good by his acts after election.
 Morally his public record shows him to be a man of unbending in- teerity: intellectually it shows him to be a man of original and trained ability We have the alternative of continuing in office an administration which proved lamentable failure. or of putting into office an administra- ton which we have every reason to believe will function with efficiency for the interest and honor of all our people. I earnestly bespeak from my fellow progressives their ungrudging support of MT Hughes.
