The high tide reached about three years ago and since then it has made headway in any state; that is, it has gained territory Though it has actually lost territory it is certain that it is nowhere held popular favor embraced it in the years between 1908 and 1913 within which it spread several states.
 The principle of popular rule is admitted to be correct. Under ideal conditions no other form of d democratic republican government would be logi- cal. But it has come be realized that conditions are ideal that the majority of the people be induced make of the power that has been put their hands and that generally the has been successfully used by small interested minortes against maiorities composed of both the interested and the apathetic
 It is unlikely that the constitutional provisions sonferring popular rule any where it has established will be repealed The people will hardly be brought to the point of surrenderng any of the power they have themselves though there are many in this state who believe that the popular rule clauses of the constitution might be repealed. But do not believe that will ever be done in this any other state to do so would be self admission of incompetence to that power. Though that may be fact, would hesitate to record it.
 People will generally content themselves with exercising the power proposed legislation; with checking the work of legislatures, and with holding the power of recall public officials Gen. erally popular rule provision will be kept about he ad al any time emergency requires it.
 While it will not be surrendered it is no longer an attractive force. Its value vote egetter has passed.

WhiSkerS

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 5.
President Wilson today began
drafting the reply to CarranZa's
demands for withdrawal of Amer
lean troops firm Mexicoo.
He intends to hand tile reply to
Carranza before the end of the
week and so forestall the expect
ed adverse criticism of his Mexi-
can policy at the Chicago conven-
ton.
Lansing and Wilson may
present rough draft of the re-
ply to the cabinet tomorrow. 1t
seemed certain today that the de-
mand for withdrawal will be re-
fused.
The answer will be couched in
terms that will leave Carranza
ample opportunity to keep him
self right before the Mexican
public. 1t will state that COM
pletely peaceful conditions must
prevail, with the certainty that
wholesale banditry, lawlessness
and raids cannot recur.

Charges Bad Faith.
In telegram sent to Secre-
tary Madsen of the Longshore-
mems association Saturday, the
secretary of labor scored the
strikers for what he termed a
violation of their contract with
the employers entered into Dec.
23, 1915, in which 1t was agreed
that so days notice must be CIV
en- Of any proposed change.
The strikers reply to Wilson by
saying that they are not propos-
ing to change the contract but 20
eliminate it entirely, to which
Wilson's answer was:
1.-THE statement that you are
not proposing to change the
agreement, but to cancel 1t, de-
ceives no one. You cannot can
eel such an agreement without
changing it to something else."
In urging that the strikers re.
turn to work under the terms oil
the contract, pending the so days
notice, Wilson has asked that the
department of labor be given q
chance to bring about settle
ment.

Works Serious Injury.
Whether the honor and integ-
rity of any union can be justly
assailed on the grounds of bad
faith, a serious injury is done to
the future welfare of the wage
workers everywhere, either union
or nonunion. The average work
ingman has little else to lose
than his honor and integrity.
When that is gone he is in a
sorry plight indeed"
Chief interest along the coast
centered today in the strike con-
ference to be held in Portland
late this afternoon. Representa-
tives of both shippers and strik-
ers have agreed to attend the con-
ference, and it is hoped that a
way will be paved for a settle

LONDON, June S.-The

that more sailors engaged

was finally crushed today.
Vessels reaching Copenhagen
brought vivid tales of the awful
ness of the conflict.
However, pride In the British

rally that Germany lost heavily.
Copenhagen reports that the
bodies of British and German
sailors are being washed ashore
on the coast of Jutlapd.
Scandinavian steamers have
rescued survivors of the German
battleship Weisbaden.
Large German cruisers which
have been patrolling the Russian
coast have been withdrawn, Co.

English Claim Victory.
The admiralty today takes the
ground that last weeks naval
battle really was British vic
tory, contrary to earlier reports.
The destruction of Is German
vessels is now claimed. This
would make the kaiser's losses
greater. absolutely as we'll as rela-
lively, than England's.
Among the German vessels now
said to be destroyed is the Seyd-
litz, a dreadnaught cruiser of 25,-

BIG MEN OF ALASKA

His part in a tremendous ad-
venture, by which 200 starving
whalers were saved in the high
Arctic, serves best to illustrate
the caliber of William T. Lopp,
head of the United States bureau
of education for Alaska.
Until recently, though it &C.
CURED years ago, this amazing
exploit has remained practically
untold.
Accompanied by Lieut.. Jarvis of
the U. s. Revenue Cutter Bear
and few Eskimo drivers, Lopp
took herd of 437 reindeer from
Cape Prince of Wales to Point
Barrow, distance of 700 miles,
in midwinter over a trackless des-
olation.
Almost superhuman, the feat
still stands as one of the great
hero classics of the north.
With the thermometer so below
zero, battling wolves who ravened
at the flanks OF the herd, breaking
trail through SHOWS and storms,
over mountains and icefields new
or before traversed by white
man, Lopp guided his precious an
imals to the relief of the ma
rooned men.
1t took As days to beat up to
the Arctic. Then when reindeer
had been slaughtered to feed the
scurvy-threatened sailors and the
remainder of the herd had been
left in charge of Lieut.. Jarvis,
, Lopp and his faithful Eskimos
fought their way back again over
the barrens.
Today Lopp is still directing the
civilizing forces by which the once
barbarous, nomadie Eskimo,
Aleuts and Indians of Northwest
ern Alaska have been converted
into an energetic, thrifty and
trustworthy folk.
For 26 years he's been on the
job, living close to his" people
Observation-Disclosures.
His unselfish devotion to their
welfare has won him the COM

He was largely instrumental in
securing the government importa-

years ago, and was soon placed
