NEXT to the cowardice of Congress
in passing the Adamson bill under com
pulsion is the cowardice of the defend
ers of the action. 1t had to be done,
is their cry. The country was con-
fronted by a great calamity Four
hundred thousand men were about to
strike The railroad service of the
country would have been paralyzed.
The president and Congress had to in
tervene in hurry. There was no time
for investigation, no time for discus
sion. The only possible course was to
give these men what they wanted, and
consider the wisdom and the justice Of
the action afterwards. We must have
peace at any price. 1t does not matter
that the dignity and honor of the nation
have been sacrificed. 1t does not mat
ter that the American eagle, like the
tabled ostrich, has buried it's head in
the sand The strike has been averted
and cit is famous victory" Is this
policy to be permanently established by
the endorsement of the people of the
United States? Is the government of
the United States to stink hencefor-
ward with its tail between it's legs, or
is it to stand up tall, firm, courageous,
Just to all men and to all interests,
fearing none and subservient to none?
This is not question of labor nor of
hours. It is question that involves
the perpetuity of independent govern
ment in America, nothing less. st.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

WE ARE told that the Wisconsin
troops of national guards are to be sent
home next month, and the wonder is
why they were called away from their
usual vocations at all. They have had
their taste of ''watchful waiting" on
the Mexican border. 1t has cost the
government s13O, 100000 according to
democratic figures, to make good Mr..
Wilson's incapacity to perceive the
necessity for military preparedness
during more than two years OF his ad-
ministration, and to the guardsmen
who responded patriotically to the call
to arms, sacrificing their business, their
employment, in many instances tai the he
hard and faithful toll, and subjecting
their families to privation, all the loss
they have sustained is dead loss. No
one will recompense them for it. They
must simply offer it up as the tribute
irrevocably exacted of them bysWil-
son vacillation and democratic inef-
ficiency.

Wasting the Peoples Money.

A two billion dollar congress! Sena-
tor Smoot says that for years to come
the session of congress which came to
an end Friday will be known as the
most extravagrnt in the history of our
country. The direct appropriations
made at this session of congress amount
to 81, $50, 383, 682, and there have been
contracts authorized in the same ap-
preparation bills amounting to $685.,
875, 1866, or total direct and authorized
appropriations and contracts amounting
to the enormous sum of 81, 947, 259, 048.
In defense of the huge outlay demo-
Gratis say it was made necessary by the
demand for preparedness. Let it be
borne in mind, however, that only
$500, 900, 900 of the vast sums appro-
priated can be accounted for in this
way. Outside of the appropriations for
preparedness the sixtyfourth congress
has appropriated two hundred million
dollars in excess of any of its prede-
cessors Among other scandals is the
increase of salaried officials. More than
thirty thousandI new positions have been
created, costing the government more
than forty million dollars, and many of
these positions have been filled in di-
rect violation of the civil service law.

Shorthand Pioneer.

That the ancients were thoroughly
conversant with shorthand is an un-
disputed fact. 1t subsequently became
a lost art until revived or rediscovered
toward the end of the sixteenth cen
fury. At this time there lived William
Lawrence. who died in 1921 and was
buried in the cloister of Westminster
abbey. There the visitor may read his
epitaph, which includes the following
lines:
Shorthand he wrote. His flower in prime

Crust of French Bread.

There is one precious quality which
distinguishes French bread from all
the other breads in the world, the
quality, namely. of an extraordinarily
thick crust
French bread has thick, crisp, ap-
petizing crust because it is baked with
a fuel composed of poplar branches.
The light poplar wood gives an intense
heat. which for some reason makes
crust as no other fuel will do.-EX-

MOSIER APPLE CROP
NOW ENTIRELY SOLD
From the Mosier Bulletin

The entire unsold output of the
Mosier crop of apples, which comprised
the Spitzenburg and Yellow Newtown
varieties, has just been sold to J. II.
Killough & Co., of New York. at salts
factory prices. Shipments commenced
Saturday. 1t is estimated that the
order will total so cars.
Indications are that this years crop
will exceed the estimates of rs cars
made the frat of the season, and in all
probability will reach between 80 and
100 cars.
From the present outlook. with a
steady and rising market, the growers
stand excellent chances of getting
good prices for their apples this year. I"
said r. D. Chatfeld. manager of the
Mosier Fruit Growers Association.
Nearly the entire crop was under
cover before the rains commenced last
week, and it is probable that in two or
three days not an apple will be left on
the trees.
A dearth of packers. scarcity of
boxes and refrigerator car shortage
are hampering considerably in getting
out the crop. Several carloads are
now stored in the association ware.
houses. Several cars have been
shipped to the eastern ports for export
to European countries and many have
been placed throughout the east, as
we'll as California and other markets.
The entire crop of Red Cheeks has
been sold to Portland dealers and sew.
eral carloads of cider apples also have
been shipped to Portland.

GILBERT & DEWITT
TO BUILD GARAGE

Plans have been consummsted by
Gilbert & Dewitt for q modern and up
to date garage. to be built on one OF
the most prominent corner locations 10
the city. They have been working with
this new building in view ever since
they acquired the Columbia Auto q
Machine Co.. holdings over a year
ago.
While the exact location is not an
nounced publicly as yet, all details and
arrangements have been completed by
C. N. Ravlin, and work on the new
building will be started Immediately.
According to specifications. the build.
ing will be of concrete, two floors.
each 100 feet square. The automobile
show room will occupy corner OF the
ground floor, and the machine shop will
be located on the upper floor, where
plenty of light from side windows and
skylights will be available.
The two companies, Gilbert 4 De-
Witt and the Columbia Auto & Machine
Co., have done all in their power to
give service, but have been handi-
capped somewhat on account OF floor
space. With the two businesses under
one roof. the combination is bound to
be winner.
None of the details of modren gar
age have been overlooked. The office,
salesroom and shop will be steam heat.
ed. The floors will be of concrete and
the building will be strictly fireproof in
every particular. Around the walls. on
the ground floor. will be mezzanine
floor for the display of their imple-
ments and orchard supplies. Special
features of their service have been
planned by company of automobile
efficiency engineers, and no pains nor
expense have been spared to give Hood
River motorists and tourists service
that will be second to none on the
coast.

Stranded Family Gets Check

Mrs. Lucinda Johnson, mother OF
seven small children, who has been
here engaged in the apple harvest,
wept for joy last Friday when she re-
ceived a check from relatives in Wills
Point, Texas, her former home. The
remittance, together with savings from
the family's work in the Willamette
valley hopfelds and local orchards,
covered the cost of tickets to the home
point and left sufficient funds for the
purchase of scant food during the time
of the journey.
Several months ago Mrs. johnson
was left penniless near Corvallis, when
ner husband was arrested and taken
back to the Texas city on a charge of
having sold part of a keg of whiskey.
The woman Immediately took her chill
dren to the hopfelds. She arrived here
with the sum of $50. A net saving of
$40 was made in local orchards.

Five years had passed since Mile
Rogers had left her fathers home to
20 on the stage, and during those FIVE
years her father had tried in vain to
shut the girl out of his heart. Never
during that time had her name passed
his lips.
His Puritan training had evoked
in Mile only stubbornness. Even
when she was just big enough to tod
die across the floor she had seemed
made for light and laughter. Her
gayety had shocked the old man; he
could not understand how he could
have given life to a child like that.
The austerity OF his religion hung
gloomily about him.
It hung gloomily about his wife,
too. Samantha Rogers had accommo-
dated herself to his life, but she had
secretly yearned for the old days Of
harmless jollity before her marriage.
The soberness of the new life had
weighed her down Then Mile was
born. Insensibly mother and daughter
drew together.
II Jim Rogers was aware that he
was being shut out from the lives of
his womanfolk, he said nothing, but
went his way, growing sourer and
grimmer as the years went by. AS
she grew older he ceased to scold his
dauphtar- ba arcaptod har &c rnio

nounced her intention of going on the
stage that his depressed anger blazed
out.
