ONE-MAN LEADERSHIP.

Does it see at all odd to the casual observer
that here, in this most boasted Of all democ-
racies the ultimate power is vested in one man.
the national destiny guided by single hand?
For that is exactly the case in any great emerg-
ency; the president of the United States is su-
preme. 1t is remarked often enough-and as
often forgotten--that president of the United
States has greater authority than a king. We
get cut-stee impression of that reality in
these crucial days.
President Wilson has been in more certain
command of congress than any latter day
American president. Add that fact to the
natural leadership of the presidential office
and we have ruler in full sway.
So far we are only noting the fact; and it is a
fact both wholesome for and agreeable to the
American people. If we choose to wade
through tradition and rambe into conjecture
the fact and its benefcence appeal more and
more strongly. We grow to realize more
keenly that a democracy, even in its best s.l,se.
needs powerful leaders Except for few emo
tional people, this country literally and man
fully stands by the president, trusting his
Judgment and taking his orders. In minor
matters the measure of individual opinion nav
be applied to the executive, but in emergency
there are no dissenting voices
Woodrow Wilson happens to be the man who
holds the country in the hollow of his hand at
this juncture. War and the million perplexi-

TAKING A WISE COURSE.

Senator Borah showed timely consldera'ioh
for the public interest in sending to the senate
of his state telegram saying the introductlon
of the alien land bill had caused the Washing
ton government ssdeep concern and adding
that he had assured the president that neither
the legislature nor the people of Idaho .,wouio
want to add to his task at this iuncture OF our
foreign affairs This is the wise and patrlotic
attitude Borah's action followed conference
with the counsellor of the state department, VINO
told him that Baron Sato, the japanese am
|bassador had urged the government to try to
prevent the enactment of discriminatory legls-
iIation which might affect the relations be-
tween Japan and the United States. No less
patriotic is the conduct of Senator Wilbur. VINO
introduced an alien land bill IN the oregon
/ legislature, in withdrawing the measure The
l;ntroduction of these bills created delicate
situation, and it must be evident to all men or
common sense that this is no time to increase
the burdens of the administration.

The Canadian government does well in these
days of rising prices to impose heavy penal
ties for forming combinations to make condi-
tons worse than they are at present. Acting
under the war measure act which gives it full
power, the government has strengthened the
existing law by making it an offense to combine
to enhance prices of necessities of life The
punishment for all who break the law is a fine
of five thousand dollars or Imprisonment fol
two wears. 1t is not too severe.

Promoting and financing railroad is a
great big gamble, as the fate of the Western
Pacific, recently sold out by the sheriff under
foreclosure of its first mortgage bonds, shows.
This road was projected under what might seem
to be fair auspices of success. 1t was virtually
an extension of the Denver and Rio Grande, the
Missouri Pacific and other Gould roads, from
Salt Lake to San Francisco bay, and thus had
assurance of through connections. The road
cost $Si 269, 25i and was operated at loss OF
several million dollars year until it was sold
under the hammer for $1S,000,O00. 1t is said
that the road was mistake, built where no
road was needed, ETC.. and of course, that is
evident enough now. But experienced railway
men promoted it and staked their Judgment
upon it and how was the ordinary railway in
weston to know that it was an unwise under
taking? risk of mistaken Judgment is a
legitimate risk which has to be borne in every
investment and it must be covered by the
average returns yielded in each field.

DRAFTED MEN As OFFICERS.

II may help to dispose of the preju-
dice against the draft and the super
constituencies OF many young men who
did not feel called upon TO volunteer
il it is known that the military au-
thorities expect TO find excellent ma
terial for officers among the drafted
men.
The fact is that a considerable pro-
portion OF the men at the officers
camps have proved. for various rea-
sons, almost always not discreditable
to them, unsuited for commissions
The second camp will partly make
up deficiencies, but there. will be need
for good many more officers than
these first two camps can supply, and
IL is the policy Of the War Depart
ment TO select such men as have
! shown fitness in the ranks of the new
national army
Ambitious and capable young men
who are drafted have therefore way
open for advancement even before
service in the field depietes the Off
GERS ranks and necessitates promo
ton. Let the intelligent drafted man
work industriously and he will get
recognition.

That's the proper spirit. and it is
credit to young men the country

found among the drafted ones. Here

big responsibility, by the change in
his mode of life which the figures on
his card have made. by the prospect
OF possible wounds or death Here
and there is one who resents his
forced enrolment. But these are few.
For the most part. the national army

to fulfill it.

What are jails that cost the county

What is the use in having jail

Flower Names.

1t is interesting to know how GER
tain flowers got their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance. fuchsias were so called after
Leonard Fuchs. Dahlias were named
from Andre Dahl, who brought them
from Peru.
The camellia was so called from a
missionary named Kamel, who brought
some magnificent specimens of the
flower to France from Japan. He
called it the Rose of. Japan, but his
friends changed it to camellia.
Magnolias were named in honor of
Prof. Magnol de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful trees to France
from America and Asia.
The Latin word for ito wash" is
"lavare." and lavender received its
name because the Romans put the
flowers into the water they used for
washing to perfume their hands
