Senatorial Campaign!
Senator Carroll S. Page Deliver

A Vermonter present, writing home his
impressions of the speech, says

ness not unlike the peace that hovers over the
Bull Run schoolhouse in vacation time, Mr.. Page

one was present. This is not quite literally true.
But as went into the Capitol this morning one of
my friends said Your favorite statesman is

"He began speaking at 10 o'clock. went into
the Senate at 1O:4O This was the situation then:

moral courage to deliver speech on vocational

Mr. Page fathered vocational training bill in,
the Senate. Mr.. Lever favored bill on the same
subject in the House. The Lever bill is given
credit Of being by far a better measure. The
House passed it. Senator Hoke Smith, giant
physically and mentally a power in the Senate
practically took over the Lever bill, his effort
causing the Page bill to fall in the discard.
The Vermonter in Washington who heard Sen
ator Pages speech writes further on the situa-
ton. He says that the Hoke Smith vocational
educational bill is the Senate calendar, but that
it will not be acted on this session
Why, then, speech on the bill by Senator Page
at this time for any other reason than for distr-
button to the voters of Vermont for campaign
purposes?
Thousands of people in Vermont desire to know
what Senator Page has stood for and what he has
created in the way of progressive constructive
legislation the eight years he has been a senator.

KEEPING THE FAITH.

When the Twohys contracted with
the city Of Grants Pass for the con-
tinuation OF the railroad toward the
cast, they remarked that they
alued the good will Of the commun-
ty into which they were coming as
me of the richest assets which they
ould possibly obtain. They stated
rom the first that they wished to
lake no promises they could not
leet, and preferred that they be
ldged by their work rather than by
leir words. From the first the
wohy company, and the individual
embers OF the firm, have had the
J Hest confidence Of the people, and
tn each day that confidence IA
owing. The firm has met its every
jligation promptly and fully. There

cd. It was not illegal.


Further. Germany contends that u
subsequent agreement to warn ships
before torpedoing them does not ap-
ply 20 the Lusitania situation,
On the other hand, the adminiStra-
ton argues that under any law--na-
tional, international, moral or hn-
mane--the Lusitania torpedolng was
Illegal,
The demand for q disayowal, while
linked with the demand for admis-
sion of illegality. is distinct pro-
position. The administration asks
Germany to repudtate---disavow--
act OF tho submarine commander for
the reason of Its alleged illegality,
While an implied disavowal by
acknowledgement of tho illegality OF
the incident might be acceptable, the
admission sought is that the attack
was outside the pale of written and
unwritten law. Upon this point IN
impasse has been reached,

tration be used have been received
unfavorably in the past, and 1t is

No decisive step was planned for to-
day, however.
President Wilson had before him
the memorandum Ambassador Won
Bernstorff presented to Secretary
Lansing yesterday afternoon. wherein,
was revealed Germany's opposition
to meeting the disavowal proposal.
Germany stands ready to make fur
ther concessions to avoid a breach in
diplomatic relations between the two
nations. but she will not disavow the
incident, holding that such step is
too drastic.
The confidential report OF Presi-
dent Wilson's personal envoy, Colonel
House. now in the presidents hands.
is uderstood to say in substance that
German public opinion is so opposed
to further concessions or an admis-
sion of illegality in the case of the
Lusitania that the hands OF the Ger
man foreign office are practically
tied.
1t is believed by many that no
drastic step will be taken by the ad-
ministration until Colonel House re-
turns with personal report.
II the president rules against fur
ther negotiations, 1t is reported he
will await a complete report from
House before sending any ultimatum
requiring an immediate disavowal,
with the only alternative diploma
tic break.
The Lusitania cloud submerged
political and congressional affairs for
the time being. While public engage
ments have been cancelled and Pre-
sident Wilson has dropped his pre-
paredness work temporarily to plunge
into an analysis Of the German
American situation.
Moreover, the realization that
America Is nearer being embroiled
in the European quarrel than at any
time since the war started has
aroused an element of tension in
official quarters.
Among officials here, Ambassador
Won Bernstorff stands alone in view
ing the situation optimistically. He
insists that matters are not so serl-
Gus as Washington officials regard
them. President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing, on the contrary, have
let 1t become known that they con
slider a crisis has been reached.
A second conference between Won
Bernstorff and Lansing was booked
for today, but It is understood It has
been postponed until next week. This
Is taken to mean that the German
envoy will await the decision Of Pre-
sident Wilson before making fresh
proposals and discussing again the
terms of Germanys latest memor-
andum.
The diplomatic deadlock between
the United States and Germany arises
over the term Illegal" as applied
to the Lusitania attack. In the abb
sence Of international law on sub
marine attacks when the Llisitania
was sunk, and due to the fact that
the Lustania carried belligerents and
munitions OF war, Germany insists
that even N the attack was unwarn-

THE BEET SUGAR FACTORY.

The establishment OF sugar fac
tory in Grants Pass opens up a new
field of industry here that will revolu-
tionize farming conditions. It is the
greatest factor since the coming of
the railroads in the development of
the country within the scope of its
influence, and will bring with it the
payroll needed to bring southern Ore
gon into its own. But with the sue
cessful termination of the campaign,
first for the establishment of the
sugar beet industry in the Rogue val
ley, and then for the location of the
factory itself at Grants Pass. the duty
of the citizens has been only entered
upon. In congratulating ourselves
upon the good fortune that has come,
It must be remembered that new
duties have been imposed. The fac
tory to be a commercial success must
continue to have the good will and
the hearty support of the people, and
that good will and hearty support
can find substance through the cul-
ture Of beets with which to keep the
factory busy. For years a large pro-
portion of the acres of the Rogue
valley have lain idle because markets
had not been developed to which the
product could be sent. Now every
acre OF fertile soil should be made to
produce, for a market for a crop that
can be taken from 1t has been sup
piled. This means that the land own.
ers must bring more acres under cul-
tivation, for lands will now be valued
upon a producing basis.
All parts of the valley must CO.
operate in the new industry. Grants
Pass is jubilant at her good fortune
and other communities may feel a
degree Of disappointment, but the
telegram from Mr.. Nibley indicates
that with the proper cooperation a
second factory can be obtained in
1917. With the Illinois valley avail
able for another season, IL not, in
deed, for the present season, the dis
tricts Immediately tributary to
Grants Pass should be able to supply
the factory with sufficient beets next
year. This would leave the field open
for the building of the second fac
tory without encroaching upon the
one here. It is to be hoped that all
portions of the valley will work to-
ward this end.

Grants Pass can date her good for

of wa:chful waiting and went out

MULES AND FARM PlOWS
AT WORK IN PORTLAND
tBy United Press Leased wire.)

Portland, Feb. 5.-Mules and farm
plows attacked the ice covered streets
of Portland today supplementing the
work OF four thousand snow shovel
ers. The plows were run along street
car rails, tearing up the packed snow
and ice in some places foot deep.
The mules walked through it as
though they were doing the spring
plowing.
