"MIX-IN''
TO HIS EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR WITHYCOMBE


Governor of all Oregon (and Salem)
My Dear Honorable Sir:
l hope you'll PARDON me, although Pm not in the
PEN---yet--
You will not remember me BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T
MET but I've only been here short time but expect to
stick around quite while, maybe year or so and if
you'll do favor I'll do anything most that you ask me-
What want you to do is this:
WON'T YOU CIRCULATE AROUND little so I
can get to know you.
My little Boy keeps asking me, DADDY, HAVEY0U
SEEN THE GOVERNOR YETI"
And can't lie to the child, just because Pm news
paper man, that don't for telling lies at home
docs it?
Besides, WE'RE EXPECTING FRIENDS SOON
FROM ANOTHER STATE and I'll feel like 30 CENTS
if they should say:
'WHO IS THAT DISTINGUISHED LOOKING MAN
IN THE AUTO YONDER," and should say "Its prob
ably from Portland down for the afternoon"
And then they should find out that it none other
than yourself, repeat.
ISHOULD FEEL LIKE---THE DICKENS.
In case you going to be over at the COMMERCIAL
CLUB or MAKING A SPEECH or SOMETHING, would
you please have your secretary drop postal, to-
"THE ADVERTISER
Zone who would like to know the Governor and the
Mayor and all the other distinguished people when he
sees them"

the heads of our nation are to show
outwardly what every man is inwardly,
an uncrowned king. How that Ger
many, with all of her past usefulness to
the world, could have been induced to
follow after few ambitious boys, who,
after having been fed on militarism
until becoming 80 fat and saucy that
they hardly knew which to whip first,
having such great and powerfully
well-prepared army, tremendous guns,
and every conceivable thing that man
can invent to kill and destroy life and
limb, could mercilessly slaughter and
burn her little peaeeable, Industrious
neighbor and sister nation, Belgium, is
something to think about. But, Mr.
Editor, ii. seem TO us that this is the
time for us to keep our wits about us
as neutrals in this family row. 1t was
u rule among the half-civilized Ameri-
eau Indians for one Indian always to
keep sober when the rest were on a
drunken spree. We are to be that sober
Indian while the rest'are on toot over
there, for we do not intend to be domi-
mated by Russian despotism of Prus-
sian imperialism. Democracy has come
to forever stay.

dan-no slouch of war or a general
either--I do know something of the
awfulness of real war. Now, as con
cerning this family row over there, the
expert on war tells us that the final
results of this row are sure to result
in one OF two things = either it will
leave Russia Prussianized or Prussia
Russianized. One of these two things
will be the result of this war. And I
guess they are right when they speak
thus. Now then, granting this to ,be
true, what will be the effect on the
civil part of the world anyway For, it
looks to us that we are now offered our
choice. We can take one of them as a
plague or the other as pestilence. and
1t seems to us that, at that advanced
stage of democracy we are not dis.
posed to accept either of them. No
casual observer even suspicious this
row to be of racial origin, nor of a
social question. Neither is it in con.
tention of any religious matter. If Ger.
many is to overthrow the military of
democratic France, it is only to estab.
lish more powerful army. As for
little Belgium and the rest of the
world who preferred to let their neigh.
bofs alone and attend to their own
business, what use have they for des
potism any more than they have for
German Imperialism? One of then
would be about as disastrous to true
democracy as the other. The time is
come wfhen every man, whoever he may
be, is now an uncrowned king. No spe-
clal favors - no patent rights on the
iuxuries of life to be reserved for the
enjoyment of crowned prices are al,
lowed any more. The crowns we put

book, are only put there to convey to

GERMANY's PEACE PROPOSALS.

The German chancellor surprised the world Yesterday
when he sprung his peace proposal 1t will be interesting
to read the comment of the English newspapers especial
ly it. That the allies will not consider peace at this
time to be the general opinion of such leaders in
all countries have expressed opinion on the matter
The Evening Star the only English paper heard from
yesterday and it took the ground that the time for
had not arrived and would until the allies had made
better showing in the way of conquerng the German
allies than had yet been DONE There are many ways of
looking at the German offer One is that Germany has
about reached the end of her and while able
to put strong resistance yet the time when her
losses will weaken her that she will be forced to yield
on such terms the allies choose to give her. Another
view is that Germany has now with the subiugation of
large portion of Rumania with Serbia Montenegro Bel
gum part of France Poland and Gacia in her possess
sion the limit Of what she do and feels
that now the best time to consider peace while much
territory belonging to her enemies is retained by her.
This latter view is probably the the TRUTH
but it is not the England will take of it. She will
result How the French will view the offer is hard to
forete; but they will probably insist fighting until
Germany makes concessions to dsarming and remov
ing what they pleased to call the threat to Europe"
and may also insist the return to France of Asace and
Lorraine
However the German chancellor has in measure put
the allies in the wrong by making them, in sense,
responsible for the continuation of the The propo
ston submitted by the chancellor is that the fight be
called draw the allies position is that the game shall
go the limit
The promising thing about the whole matter is that
at least side is willing to consider peace If both
be brought to this state of mind the end of the will
not be far away.
