This is because Of the examples We
have seen Of the effect OF politics on
women az this session. The men realize
now that the suffrage question is really

and the real question involved is which
type Is TO rule IN this country.

That Oregon has a perfectly good
Sunday iaw--insofar as Its eonatitu-
tionality is concerned--has just been
set forth by the federal court at Port
| land. Similar assurance having been
youchaafed by the state supreme
court, ii may now be taken for grant,

not to be safely defied.
The federal court holds that the

Oregon supreme court in two deeis-
ions, and that the United States su-
preme court has uniformly upheld
this principle. II holds further that
the law does not interfere with any

TALLY civil and not religious statute.
and that It is not In contravention OF
anyone's property rights.
The effect Of this and other court
decisions along similar lines Is to vir-
tuaiIy affirm that almost any sort OF
Sunday regulation which the state
wishes to establish Is legal and conetl-
tutionaI In Oregon. The state need
not be consistent. 1t may say that this
thing is lawful on Sunday and this
other thing Is not, and It's people must
perforce obey.
Thus, under the "blue law as at
present upheld. an open bakery or
butcher shop is lawful on Sunday, ana
an open grocery is not. Billiard halls
and bowling alleys are unlawful and
q tIeater is immune. "A man may

A SICK MANS wiuMs

Newspaper readers viii remember
that several years ago the emperor
OF Germany was said 20 be suffering
from cancer Of the throat The re-
ports were "hushed up" and finally
passed out OF the public ken.
We now hear In reports from Paris
that the kaiser IL undoubtedly a can

will eventually lose hla life. also. may
be readily supposed.
Last spring the Saturday Evening
Post contained most interesting mar
rallve by a former lady In waiting at
the German court. who said that the
emperor was creature OF impulse.
At times he was moved by peaceful
emotions. and his official acts were
characterized by prudence and con-
sideration. At other times the spirit
OF Mars seemed to seize upon him.
and he would glory IN the militant
strength OF the Fatherland. He felt
that he was War Lord. dlyinely APP
pointed to lead the German eagles TO
victory. and that Germany should im-
pose It's imperial win upon modern
civilization.
Is Il not easy TO fancy that the
kaiser--a sick man. entirely human
and subject 10 human weaknesses and
n sick mans whims--brought down
upon the world its most awful war
The history OF the brief negotiations
following the Balkan murder and pre-
ceding general hostilities. would seem
10 indicate that the kaiser was In tie
.throes OF grand Martian passion at
q time most fatal to the peace Of
Europe. Conscious OF Germany-s
strength. he was In the mood 10 test

counsels OF the militarist leaders OF
his nation. At another time the
vision OF Europe drenched with In

The thought at least leads to the
hope that the war will bring about
such a readjustment OF European gov
ernment that no one man or set Qf
men may be able to decide such enor-
mously fatefnI issues as war or peace.
That the kaiser could have prevented
war BY acquiescence IN the request OF
England. France and Russia for an
international conference on the Aus
tro-serbian affair. there seems TO be
little ground for doubt That his re-
fusal resulted from one OF his darker
moods. incident TO his depressing mall
ady. Is 50 altogether probable as TO
engender regretful speculation.
