EUGENE WOMEN WISE

eugene Register, Rep.)
The women of Eugene exhibit sound
common sense by declining to join the
movement for the organization Of a
woman IS party. There is nothing to be
gained by projecting the suffrage ques-
tion into the national political field
through the formation of separate
party and there is much that might
be lost.
If any proof of this is needed, the
prohibition party and its history are
at hand to supply it. The prohibition
party mas been in existence since 1876
and throughout that time has carried
on an active campaign for national pro
hibition. Its total vote has never been
a factor in the situauon, and during
the time when prohibition has been
spreading most rapidly through local
and state action the vote of the prohi-
bition party has been falling off. 1t
reached its nighest point in 1892, when
it polled total of 264, 1873 votes, and
by 1912, after various fluctuations, its
total vote had fallen to 207, ,92s. 1t is
apparent from these figures that after
40 years of effort the prohibition party
has accomplished little in the way of
abolishing the liquor traffic by nation
al action.
This record offers small encourage
ment for securing equal suffrage
through the agency Of national wo-
mans party. Prohibition and equal
suffrage have much in common. Both
are inherently right, and for this rea-
sin both viii ultimately prevail; for
under our form of government that
which is basically right win finally
triumph. 1t may be that the triumph
of right will be long delayed, but no
one who believes in government by the
people can doubt tnat the right will
finally prevail.
Adoption of the right method, how
ever, may hasten the victory of cause
that is inherently just and adoption Of

GOOD GASOLINE
EASILY OBTAINABLE

A certain prominent automobile
manufacturer stated, in a recent news
paper article article, that his new motor
was especially designed to handle low
grade gasoline, or "poor gasoline" as
he put it. "High-test gasoline" he
said, els not easily obtainable in the
most favored localities
Commenting ON this article, C. H.
Hamilton, district sales manager of the
Standard Oil company, said yesterday:
Evidently the Pacific Coast was over
looked by this manufacturer in making
up his list of most favored localities.
Otherwise his statement regarding the
scarcity Of good gasoline wouldn hold
good. For Pacific Coast motorists, at
least, should have no difficulty whatso-
ever in obtaining pure, high-test dis
titled gasoline. Our company has been
for years, and now is, putting out
only this real, good, old-fashioned, all
refinery, unmiXed gas, and our distrib
uting machinery has put this gasoline
into practically every town and hamlet
on the Pacific Coast. There's no need
for the Pacific Coast motorists to go
without good gasoline

absolute proof of the soundness and the
virtue to the people of low cost and big

"Perhaps no other business than that

opportunity for the demonstration. 1t is

ideas and old systems. 1t was saved

sense of its pioneers in agreeing to CO.
operate competition by standardizing
the tread of the car, standardizing va
rious parts of the ear, eliminating strife
and ruinous legal fighting over patents
and limiting rivalry to saiesmanship, to
efficiency, utility and value.
"The output of the Ford plant is
colossal, it is one of the industrial won
ders of the world, all the more amazing
in view of the short time in which the
automobile has been a vehicle for man.
"Mr. Ford is to make 100000 a
year. More than one-nalf of all the
cars in America today are Fords. There
is limit to everything The point of
saturation may have been reached or
may be approaching in America. The
manufacturers think not Conservative
observers think otherwise. There may
be halt temporarily and then new
era of development and expansion.
"That, however, is beside the main
issue. The great thing Ford and few
of the others have demonstrated is the
responsiveness of this great American
market of 100000 900 or 110,0O0,00O of
people of immense volume of an essen
tial product when that product is
brought down to reasonable price.
"They have proved there is more
profit in great output at moderate
profit than in limited output at higher

BIG ONE ON HUGHES.

Albert de Roode, for six years as
sistant secretary Of Civil Service Re-
form association and now its counsel,
shows from the( records that Mr..
Hughes as goyvrnor of New York or
dered 2ls civil service exemptions in
less than four years, as against ls2 ex-
emptions in Odell g four years and
sixty-two in Higgins two years. In
addition, under the Hughes admins
tration there were 345 Especial exemp-
tions" with $1,O76,240.ss eompensa-
ton, where appointments were made
to competitive positions, created under
Governor Hughes, served as dispensers
of over 81 100000 in spoils. During the
first year of the operation Of the law
sixty-seven positions were exempted by
Mr.. Hughes.
Gas a matter Of fact,' says Mr.. de
Roode, "those interested in civil serv-
ice reform made repeated efforts dur
ing the Hughes administration to have
him appoint a vigorous commission in
full sympathy with the merit system,
but without success.

of a mischevious nature, has been
written and talked in connection with
the demand Of the trainmen for an
eight hour day and especially in re-
lation to the means employed by
President Wilson for averting what
practically the whole notion was de-
sirous of averting at any reasonable
cost, a tie-up of the transportation
lines. Had the president failed to avert
this disturbance, it is unnecessary to
say, he would have been as severely
criticized in certain quarters as he is
now for the methods to which he re-
sorted in order TO compel a truce. The
trainmen refused to arbitrate the eight
hour demand ON the logical ground that
an economic question already settled
should not be re0pened again and sub
ieeted to arbita adjudication. The s.
hour question has long been settled,
practically, by majority OF the states,
by the federal government, and by
thousands of private concerns. Eight
hours as a days work holds good not
only in states of the union, but in pos
sessions of of the nation. A days
work for all laborers, workmen and
mechanics who may be employed by
the government, Of by any cOncernral
the United States, or by any contractor
upon any of the public works of the
United States, is limited to eight
hours.
As to the wage part of the contro-
versy that feature is virtually to be
arbitrated as the law enacted provides
for an investigation with a view TO
aseertaining the facts as to increased
railroad costs, etc.
The criticism of the president for hav-
ing settled the strike is prompted by
politics. The criticism would be just
as severe, or more so, had he not acted
as he did.

the wrong method is certain to delay
it. This being the ease, the history Of
the prohibition party offers little en-.
couragement for the success of ma
tional woman S party, for if the pro-
nibition party has not been able in 40
years to get within striking distance
of victory it is not likely that wo-
man. s party would be much more sue
cessful.
The men and women who have voted
the prohibition ticket since it first ap-
peared have been honest and sincere
in their convictions, but the pressure
of general public sentiment is doing
much more toward the abolishment of
the liquor traffic than the total vote
OF the national party that is devoted to
the cause. The same will undoubtedly
be true of the movement for votes for
women,

accomplishments of Henry Ford, the
New York Evening Mail has drawn
from Mr.. Ford's career lesson for in
dustrial America which, it declared,
must apply to all avenues of endeavor
in this country.
The article brought comment from
many sources, especially political ones,
and was read with unusual evidence of
interest by Mr.. Hughes, republican
nominee for president. Mr.. Ford $ in
dustrial philosophy seems to be received
by the leaders of both political parties
as a sort of beacon light in American
affairs, as lighting the way to better
things for all the people.
Referring to Mr.. Ford as the world IS
greatest economist, the Mail, among
other things, says:
"In the homely, forceful way he has
of expressing things, Henry Ford has
lilened the automobile market to a
pyramid of layers and layers of people.
Up at the top there is but one. At the
bottom there are hundreds upon hun
dreds of thousands-perhaps millions.
eff there were only one car in the
world, he supposed one man would pay
million dollars for it. There are, how
ever, 100000 families in the United
States who should have automobiles and
every time the price of car is reduced
the market is broadened by uncovering
new and wider layer to the pyramid

chant, that Henry Ford most concerns

bottom. The scene of the disaster is the
same spot whore ON August 30, 1907, a
bridge structure different in form but
designed to be of nearly the same mag
nitude collapsed, with the loss of several
lives. Officials and engineers are still
striving to learn the cause of the col
lapse from the varying stories of eye
witnesses. The loss in material is esti-
mated at 100000. The total cost of the
bridge, Of which the lost span was to be
the principal structural part, was TO be
$l7 100000. The top photograph shows
the central span being raised The 9th

accident.

The Dominion government, which had
offered a million dollar subsidy Tor the
completion of the bridge over the ST,
Lawrence at Quebec, is now investigat-
ing to place the blame for its collapse.
More than $4,000 persons, massed along
both banks OF the st. Lawrence river

SHIPPING CLAUSE OF PROHIBITION LAWS
 TO BE DETERMINED

A test in the federal courts of the con- stitutionality of the Alabama prohibition laws is attributed to the injunction pro- ceedings against the Southern Express company delivering more than two quarts of liquor every two weeks which will be heard this morning before United States Judge William T. Grubb The case was brought in from New Decatur, where pro- hibitionists filed the injunction.
 According to reports, as the papers in the case will not reach Birmingham until this morning, the express company will contend that the restraining effect of the Alabama law Is contrary to inter- state commerce.
