TEMPERANCE AND
BEER IN OREGON
Situation In Western State Since
the Prohibition Law. Went
Into Effect Jan. l..

Oregon has had prohibition since
January 1, and while the working OF
the system has not resulted in as
many bizarre situations as in the
neighboring state Of Washington, it
has sufficiently demonstrated its
futility and injustice as to disgust the
thoughtful people OF the common
wealth. A petition, which was lately
started and is receiving hundreds Of
signatures, calls for a referendum
vote Of the people on the proposition
to permit the manufacture and sale
of beer containing per cent Of
alcohol within the state The petit
ton is in charge Of committee con-
sisting of prominent bankers, manu-
facturers, merchants, clergymen, law
yers, etc, in all parts Of the state.
Most significant OF all Is the fact that
one of the prime movers is w. s..

U'Ren, father OF Oregon's initiative
and referendum system and a leader
in many popular reforms.
The argument accompanying the
petition declares that the present law
permitting liquor to be brought into
the state, but discriminating against
even a light beer brewed In Oregon,
is neither logical or just; that it is
not even good temperance reform
because it Inevitably encourages the
OF the strong spiritouous
liquors and discourages the use of
a light non-intoxicating malt liquor:"
that it drives thousands OF dollars
out of the state; that the true meas
ure Of regulation is the amount OF
alcohol in any drink; that 4 per cent
beer SIS not an intoxicating liuuor:"
that cit is our opinion based on the
experience of Germany and the great
temperance reforms made in Den.
mark, Sweden and Norway by en-
couraging the brewing Of just such a
light beer as here proposed that this
will really promote both
temperance and moral integrity"

c..h. carr.nza and the future,

Omaha Bee: Now we are to be
given the first glimpse of the final
act of the farce OF twatchful wait
Ing" Carranza's poverty-stricken gov
eminent is to make settlement. with
the United States, and in return the
federal reserve banks. Oh some SINH
lar agency. will be permitted to loan
the defacto government funds on
which to operate. This isn't bribery
In any sense, merely neighborly act
to assist the unfortunates across the
border. Back of it-all lies a far more
weighty responsibility than is in
volved in helping Carranza out OF a
temporary difficulty. The European
powers, gleefully recognizing the Mon
roe doctrine, kept their hands off all
through the Mexican turmoil, from its
beginning until now, putting the
whole question squarely up to the
United States. This means but one
thing, that all claims held by foreign
ers against Mexico will in good sea-
son be presented to the United States
for settlement. 1t may be that Presi-
dent Wilson did not fully realize the
responsibility he assumed
for this country when he tnterfered
with Huerta, and secretly espoused
the cause of the rebels, but he took
that responsibility and the United
States viii be forced to abide by his
actions OF recede from the Monroe
doctrine and see Mexico dismembered
as China has been.

Boys and a Trade.

Redfield Press: There must be
some reason for the lack of boys
that want to learn trade these
days. Not very long ago, the father
inculcated this fact so thoroughly
into the mind of the growing youth
that he was willing to work for moth
ing just to become proficient at some
form of labor. He always felt that
it was something he would have with
him, that could not be stolen, pawn
ed or mortgaged. A trade learned.
the young man faced the world with
smile. He was self-confident, self
supporting. II the fault lies in our
public schools it ought to be rem
edied. 1t is sufficient to say the fault
exists or there would be no use for
the manual training department ana
the domestic science cources. II the
fault hes in the home the parents
ought to be educated = little and not
the child.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

National prohibition being medicine and not
politics, it draws no votes from citizens VINO
base their choice Of men and parties upon the
great political issues Of the day. Hence the
prohibition party to expect million votes IN
the election this fallas some of its leaders pro-
TESS to expect-seems ambitious, to say the
least In 1912, when great issues were scarce
and the republican party was divided, the pro-
hibitionist candidate for president polled some
two hundred thousand votes
The trend toward national prohibition IS
stronger today than ever before; no one ques-
tons that And the national prohibition party,
weak though its candidates and obscure its
platform, is one Of the best nationaal advertise
ments of prohibition. That the national prohl-
bition party Of itself can bring about an amend
ment to the constitution is, however, far
fetched hope. The major political parties are
not easily influenced by demonstrations
National prohibition, according to the com
mon opinion, will receive its final impetus IN
some great, stirring emergency. The prohlbi-
ton party and its kindred organizations can 90
no more than prepare the field by such means
as they have used in the past.
National prohibition by 1920 has been slo-
gan of some weight. Whether in 1920 or 1910,
prohibition will not be achieved in the election
Of president.

MuNITIoN MAKING.

According to writer in the Forum who has
visited all the important munition factories in
the country, the number Of them has risen from
six before the war broke out, to over one thou
sand now. with many thousand other shops
making small parts and supplies. Employment
has been given to half million workmen, for
the most part unskilled mechanics, at wages
higher than ever known before; and this has
brought q general advance, for firms in other
lines have had to increase wages to hold their
men.
Much Of the munition making is done IN
plants that will have to be junked as soon as
the war is over, and on "single purpose ma
chimes which will then be scrapped The profits
Of the successful manufacturers are big enough
to permit this; but for every shop that is sue
ceeding there are a dozen that tried and failed
gave the business up or went to the wall.
None Of our plants has as yet succeeded in
sending a single rifle abroad. There are but
two factories in the country-the arsenals at
Springfield and Rock Island (which are able
to make the Springfield rifle used in our army.
It's manufacture requires 200 operations, and
all it's parts must be interchangeable and exact
" right. When it is remembered that this
weapon is much simpler than those used in Eu-
rope the reason why our hastily constructed
plants and unskilled artisans have been unable
as yet to fill their orders becomes clear.
The time must come when munition making
here for foreign nations will cease as suddenly
as it began, and that day of readjustment to
new conditions will bring its problem. But II
the United States is to have war, many con-
Germs and employees experienced IN munltlon
making will be ready for work.

THE-PIrY OF IT.

In the domestic news of the day the most
eagerly read dispatches are those dealing with
the Mexican situation; for our men, our money
and our ideals are bound up there. Second in
interest, at least in many of the large centers OF
population, is the story of New York S epidemic
of infantle paralysis. It is the greatest human
interest story of the day, a story Of danger and
fright and children.
The prevailing opinion among medical au-
thorities in New York is that the epidemic must
rise higher before it begins to subside. The
hundreds of cases now recorded and the large
proportion of deaths have struck fear to every
home in the metropolis-not panic, the health
department hopes, but certainly fear and
enough of it to cause respect for the rules Of
health. The epidemic in the same city nine
wears ago when there were about two thousand
nine hundred cases, carried a mortality rate OF
only five per cent. This time the disease is
more deadly; the death rate is nearer to twenty
five per cent.
That is story enough to grip the heart inter
est of every mother In the country. dread
disease that crpples and kills, that travels by
unknown means that yields to no treatment.
But-and here is where mothers grow anxious
the plight of New York is not the only inter
est of the story, for more than fifty thousand
New York children have been taken away by
their parents to other and safer parts of the
country. Some go to nearby cities, some to dis
tant cities, some to summer resorts.
1t is good that they can go; of course it re-
heves family anxiety; it probably saves many
children Yet it isn't a pleasant subject for
thinking and talking. Justly or unjustly. New
York guests are not to be popular this summer
In neighborhoods given over to young children
Health officials of cities and towns the conn
try over are watchful of suspicious infantile
diseases. 1t is a form of preparedness demand
ed by conditions.
But what a story! And what a sad sto,vl

ToDAY,5 BIT OF VERSE
PERSEVERANCE.


A swallow in the spring
Came granary, and meath the caves
Essayed make nest and there did bring
Wet earth and straw and leaves.
Day after day she toiled
With patient art, but her work was crowned,
Some misfap the tiny fabric spoiled
And dashed it to the ground.
She found In ruin wrought,
But not cast down forth from the place she flew,
And with her mate fresh earth and grasses brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on its ample floor,
When wicked hand, chance again laid waste
And wrought the ruin DER.
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled again-and last night. hearing calls.
l leoked-and 10! three swallows slept
Within the eaFthmade walls.
What ruth is here, oh, man.
Hath hope been smtten in its early dawn!
Have clouds o'ercast thy purpose, trust or plan!

100 PER GENT IN NOVELTY.

Naming asteroids by votes purchased in a
contest is New York City's latest means of
raising money for the cause of the allies war
sufferers. The astronomer who discovered
these six little planetary mites consented to
allow them to be known to scientific record by
the names thus selected and the voting was
done in connection with bazaar held in one of
the big amusement halls. This is the farthest
reach that philanthropy and science have yet
combined to make in searching the universe
for recruits to the good cause Of war relief.
And these six minute bodies will wander their
ordered ways hereafter as signal lights of a
science that is as humanitarian it is perse-
vering in finding new worlds.

Our Dumb Animals: Few people
realize OF what remarkable speed
dogs are capable. Some statistics in
regard to this have been gathered
by M. Dusolier, a French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous en-
durance shown by little fox terriers,
who follow their masters patiently
for hours, while the latter are riding
on bicycles or in carriages, he says
that even greater endurance Is shown
by certain wild animals that are akin
to dogs. Thus, the wolf can run be-
tween so and 60 miles in one night;
and an arctic fox can do quite as
well, If not better.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can trav-
ell as miles on the ice in five hours,
and there is case on record In
which a team OF Eskimo dogs travelled
six and a half miles in % minutes. Ac-
cording to NJ. Dusolier, the speed OF
the shepherd dogs, and those used on
hunting ranges, is from 10 to ID
yards a second. English settlers and
pointers hunt at the rate Of IS to 10
miles an hour, and they can maintain
this speed for at least two hours.
Fox hounds are extraordinarily swift,
as is proved by the fact that dog OF
this breed once beat a thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles in six and
a half minutes, which was at the rate
OF nearly Is yards a second. Grey
hounds are the swiftest of all four
footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that OF
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds
which are used for coursing, are
able to cover at full gallop, space
between Is and % yards every Sec

RELIEF FUNDS UNNECESSARY.

War department orders for the discharge OF
militiamen who are married or who have rela-
tives dependent upon them for support solve a
difficult problem promptly and neatly. Men
who enlisted in the militia with no idea of SER
vice in war of invasion, and who regarded
themselves as defense forces only, are thus
given an opportunity to go home. The recruit
ing stations are forbidden to accept men with
family obligations. The need for either gov
eminent or local relief fund is thus removed.
