THAT FULL DINNER PAIL.

Relying foollshly upon the full din
ner pail to accomplish for them what
Il has so often accomplished for the
Republican party, the Democrats pro-
cecd to pile extravaganza upon ex-
travagance and to make flabby claims
OF being at peace, even when we ara
at war, says the Detroit Journal.
For the dinner pail has been filled
with munltion money, which presently
must be suppanted by the true coin

And while the dinner pail Is full.
observe with what inflated foods.
This administration promised the
worker lower cost of living. But,
as matter of fact, to the worker
Democratic prosperity Is false pros
perity. II Is mirage.
Every man with dinner pail
knows that. unless his wages have
been increased 20 per cent. under
Democratic munition prosperity, he Is
poorer than he was four years ago.
For Wilson rents are from 20 to 40
per cent. higher; the wilson meat,
the Wilson sugar and the Wilson wool
are 40 per cent higher, and the VIII
son steel and tin and household goods
are from 20 to 40 per cent. higher.
The Wilson bread has advanced
faster than the Wilson wage, and the
Wilson taxes have risen higher than
the Wilson prosperity.
Democracy may have enriched the
munition manufacturer. but has Il
enriched the worker, whose cost of
living has increased faster than his
earnlngsf -
II the Administration can re-elect
itself on the ground that the worker
Is obliged to move out of his home
into an inferior one. or has to double
up In tenements and to take In board
ers - make up for his loss Of eco
nomiv advantage under the present
lncrS Sed cost of living, then there ID
no S.ason why the Administration
should not be as extravagant In its
taxes as II choosed.

"When we contemplate Industrial
and commercial conditions" says Mr..
Hughes, 1--WE see that we are living
in fools paradise" This is the con-
ditiOn to which the administration and
its supporters have deliberately closed
their eyes. When the war cloud broke
over Europe, this country was expert
encing the most serious depression It
had known since 1893 when the Demo-
cratic party and it's policies were in
full control of the United States.
Suddenly there came from over the
sea n demand for munitions of war,
clothing, food, supplies, everything
needed by vast armies and by coun-
tries whose sons were taken from thc
field and the workshop, never to re-
turn.
As result our exports and the bal
ance Of trade In our favor have reach
ed figures far surprising any ever be-
fore known. Temporarily, especially In
the East, there Is no lack of work at
high wages, for Europe must pay
whatever price America asks. No
thoughtful person would imagine that
this condition Is anything like real
prosperity. How false 1t is, we In
Oregon, who have the clearer vision,
because not clouded by the smoke
from munitions factories, have fully
felt and fully appreciated.
What the Republican candidate for
president says about It the Democrats
know to be true:
"Our opponents promised to reduce
the cost Of living. This they have
failed to do, but did reduce the oppor-
tunities Of making q living. Let us
not forget the conditions that existed
in this country under the new tariff
prior to the war. Production had de-
creased; business was languishing
new enterprises were not undertaken
instead Of expansion there was cur.
tailment and our streets were filled
with lhe unemployed"
The suspension OF these conditions
Is not nationwide. only sectional, and
depends upon the duration OF the war
Those who think otherwise are, In
deed, living In fools paradise.-P0rt
