supplying our own armed fore
es with supplies but obligated
to render such service as far as
we can to millions of men in
the ranks of our allies.
Then it becomes a pressing
outy upon all to take any steps
possible to help this situation
along. The raising of additi-
onal food products in back

made to count for much.
Farmers can help greatly by
using all their available lana,
even if it be necessary to raise
crops they would ordinarily

agents will tell you so. But
these men of sense, experience
and judgment want to invest
in the shipbuilding business.
They do not want to embark
in stock gambling. They want
to put their money into the
building of shipyards, into the
construction of ships, not into
commissions for stock sales
men or bonuses for promoters.
Shipbuilding promises to
have a great future in Port
land. 1t should not be an ac.
tivity for inflations or the
plaything of promoters.
The mining business in Ore
gon has been throttled, stran-
gled and stagnated by stock
jobbery, fake promotion and
by fraud. In the argot of those
responsible for its wreckage it
was ''the mining game" not
the mining business.
Such a cancer should not
be permitted to infect the ship
building industry of Oregon.
When symptoms appear, the
corporation commissioner. the
district attorney, or both,
diagnose the case. If
necessary, they should operate
to remove the cause. 1t is a
duty they owe the industrial

THEY WILL REMEMBER
1914

mT the outset of the war the
~ German socialists were
bitterly opposed to the
struggle. They resented the
manner in which the kaiser
and his war lords precipitated
the fight. 1t was only love of
the fatherland plus military
compulsion that held them in
line. The disregard for the
wishes of the German social
lists shown by the Berlin war
makers three years age stands
in striking contrast with the
present policy of the imperial
government. The kaiser now
wishes the socialists to help
him obtain peace and he sends
them to confer with Russian
socialists. But such intrigue
may be expected to fail In
their hearts the socialists can
not fail to ask why the war
lords did not consider their
wishes three years ago. They
cannot have confidence in the
men who knew them not when
they had a chance to render
service and now comes to them
only because they have favors
TO ask of the socialists.
In the mind of the German
as well as the Russian socialist
the thought must stand out
that the first step towards
peace should consist in the
overthrow of the Prussian au-
tOcracy in favor of a govern
ment by the German people.
