X AISER AND SULTAN.

CTomo Sargent:ch, in the New York
Times.)
Apropos of the natural fraternizing
between two of the greatest barba-
rians in the world recently in SIAM
boul, the Kaiser in bcstowing the
highest imperial decoration on the
Sultan is reoprted to have said,
among other things. that after the
war he hoped the world-renowned
German kultur would spread and have
its beneficent influence in every mart
of the great Turkish Empire.
The writer cannot resist the temp
tation to say that, in view of the
horrible cruelties, atrocities and the
commission of every form of irhu-
mainly and crime by the las Glad
stone properly named him) unsp, ak
able Turk for five hundred years, the
words of the great war lord are SUI
perfluous and his wish about his dear
~ beloved kultur inappropriate. For
have not the Turhs demonstrated 70
the world that they are pastmasters
in this Kaiscr's Kultur? Have they
not given convincing and horrible
proof in their many wars on the he
roic peoples cf the Balkans?
We have seen. for it was brought
to our very eyes. the improved Knl-
tur borrowed from the Turks by the
Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs and
fully eXemplificd i'll their conquest of
little Belgium and poor but brave
Serbia. Therefore. it is soreiy appro-
pronrate and fitting that the great
war lord should, as he did, give to
the world the shocking and demoral-
izing spectacle of a Christian ruler
fraternizing with the arch enemy of
Christendom, and his motto should
not be any more "Me und Gott," but
"Me and Allah"

CURRENT EVENTS IN FOOD CON.
SERVATION.

The most important event of the
week in Virginia, SO far as food con-
servation is concerned, is the an
nouncement by the food administrator
of committees of women appointed to
serve as market reporters; that is,
they will go into the retail food stores
the butcheries, bakeries, groceries,
and green grocers and find the pric-
es of such staple commodities as ba-
con, bread, lard, sugar, milk, flour,
butter, etc, and make weekly report
of these prices to the statistical de-
partment of the food conservation bu-
rcau at Washington. 1t is very pa
triotic duty these women will per-
form. There is no compensation. The
bureau states that it does not expect
any startling revelations of double
dealing on the part of merchants, but
that in order to check up retail pric-
es from week to week in the fairest
way it has adopted this method of
the market reporter"
Obviously the names of the wom-
en- serving on these committees will
ut be published, and quite as OBJ
viously no woman who is asked. to
serve on a committee will allow the
news of her appointment to be spread
abroad, as this would, in measure,
no AWAY Win lne Value OF Jne ser
vices she is expected to render.
The second important event Of the
week was the fact that men. claim
ing to be representatives of the food
administration, wetn about this State
and many other States attempting
to buy home-canned products of the
housewives and stating that they did
this by order of the food administra-
tors
These men are imposters. They are
undoubtedly buying of their own ends
or as representatives of firms wish
ing to get canned goods at low fig
ure and realize a good profit on
them.
Meanwhile, the rumor was spread
broadcast that the government was
about to commander ali homemade |
goods beyond the few necessary for
each family.
This rumor has already been stamp
ed as absolutely untrue by the gov
eminent and by the food administra-
ton of Virginia and the women of
this state are asked to deny any such
rumor if it springs up in future.
DO you know that on the other
side of the water those who are re-
ducing the consumption of food are

THE KA1sER's DREAM.

Clarence Turner, who is with the
Company d, 313th Infantry ct Camp
Lee, Sends the following poem, enti-
tied "The Kaiser's Dream" Turner
also writes that he is getting fat,
having gained fifteen pounds since
. being in camp:
Last night the German Kaiser
Had Il sad and fearful dream;
/ He could see the Camp Lee soldiers
Crossing Ger the briny stream.
And after they had landed
Upon the Germans ground
lie heard the sergeant saying,
eve arrived here safe and sound"
He dreamed he heard the captain
Say, Boys, you do not fear,
So get the German Kaiser
And bring him safely here"
The lieutenant called "Attention!"
The command was marched along;
Off started Camp Lee soldiers
A hundred thousand strong.
The Kaiser called the Crown Prince
And said Were here to stay;
We cannot, will not, surrender
TO that Camp Lee Battery A."
He could hear the bullets whistle
Der his submarines at sea;
lie knew his men were captured
BY that fearless Battery ID.
The Crown Prince yelled out louder,
"We'rc soldiers brave and true,
SO why should we surrender
To that flag, Red, White and Blue :?
a private spoke up boldly,
"It's time that you should flee,
| hear from official quarters
Those boys are from Camp Lee"
He tried to reach Zeppelin,
TO fly up in the sky,
But as he turned upon his heels
lie was chasing Battery |.
He turned again and murmurcd,
"This land is not for me,
At last | must surrender,
For there comes Battery E."
Just then bullet clipped his ear
From the gun of battery G.;
He then fell on his knees to beg
To the brave boys of Camp Lee,
He crawled Off to the mountains,
Thinking only of himself,
When he heard the captains orders,
"March forward, Battery F."
He dreamed he was surrounded
By the batteries of Camp Lee,
And thought they had them numbered
from the letters A to H.

be done outside the Office if just rs

Death of a National Idol

The death of Admeral Dewey last
Tuesday, the hero OF Manila Bay, re-
yived memories of his diplomatic and
heroic conduct under very trying cir
cumstances. During the Spanish-Amer-
lean war he destroyed the Spanish feet
and captured the capital city OF the Phil
ippine archipelago. Adding an island
continent to the possessions OF the
United States, will always he considered
an important event for future historians
to consider. In the light OF the events
Of the past two years the Manila Bay
battle is comparatively small affair,
but in that it marked the period OF
expansion and Americas entry into
world affairs Of government it will
always find place in history. Admiral
Dewey, not onlv because OF his de-
cided victory, but because OF his
little affair" with Admiral Deidrich
just before the battle opened. when
the German Admiral Unanswered his
ship between the American feet and
the object Of attack, and Dewey's
prompt assertion OF American rights,
became popular hero and will always
remain such. His place in the galaxy
OF American naval heros is we'll fixed.
II he never did any thing afterwards to
entitle him to distinction it can also be
added that he never did anything
foolish, as some other popular heros
have been guilty OF doing. He wore
honors modestly.

Annual Midwintef Meeting Of Washing.
too Editors

The three day meeting Of Washing
ton newspaper men, which came to
and end in Seattle last Saturday was
one Of the largest and most interesting,
and, We dare hope one Of the most ben
efcial that has been held. The meeting
was held at the Washington University
in connection With the faculty and
students attending the school oil
journalism. Mr.. Lee A. White, who
has been connected with this depart
ment OF the uuiversity's activity Tor a
number Of years, was the moving spirit
and had much to do with drawing out
some of the less assertiye Of the visiting
editors. Mr.. White will shortly sever
his connection with the school 10 take
a responsible position with an eastern
publication. Mr.. e. z. Troxen, re-
cent addition to the school, who
succeeds Mr.. White, is acting secretary
of the Washington Newspaper Asso-
citation, an auxiliary to the Washington
Press Association. Bringing his ex-
perience in the Oregon school OF jour
nalism to bear on any problems that
may come up will help him to avoid
the rocks that oeset his path.
The object of bringing together
the faculty and students in the
school Of journalism, and the men who
make the newspapers, is not only by
an exchange Of ideas to arrive at a
higher estimate Of the duties OF
the newspaper publishers in their
dealings with the public, but par
ticularIy that part Of the public in
which their activities are most felt for
good or evil. Many Of the young men
and young ladies who expect to engage
in newspaper work attended the sessions
regularly and no doubt got some first
hand knowledge OF the trials en-
countered in ever day newspaper life.
A number Of questions incident to the
making Of successful newspaper, not
the least OF which was the matter Of
foreign advertising, was thoroughly dis
cussed and a movement set on foot
that will in time rebound to the benefit
Of publishers of newspapers and the
stabeIizing OF advertising rates.

viii Legislative Sanity Prevail!

1t may be too early in the game to
express a positive conviction as to what
the Legislature which met last week in
Olympia intends to do. II straws
indicate which way sets the wind then
also the initial acts Of the Legislature
may be taken as an indication Of what
may be expected OF our Law makers.
There is an unmistakeable indication
that freak laws and laws intended to
further add to the burdens OF the tax
payer will be avoided. 1t is too much
to hope that freak laws and laws in
tended for no purpose other than to
make job for someone who has failed
in private endeavor, will be wholly abb
sent, but there is reasonable ground for
believing that all such will receive short
shrift. The better and more sensible
OF those who have labor to sell as well
as those who employ labor in furthering
their enterprise realize that upon sound
laws depends the orderly conduct OF
the affairs OF men. That strife is waste
and leads to no good end. The ex-
traordinary conditions brought about
by the greatest war the world ever
saw brought about new conditions.
Conditions which must be met and
solved. They can only be solved right,
such as can be Solved by legislation,
by approaching them with the best
interests Of all in view. The changed
attitude OF politicians and law makers
will do more to build up industries in
this state than unbridled boosting and
hot air. The square deal for both the
working man and his employer should
be kept in sight by the legislature.

Too Much Duplication in Commissions

We have a Federal Regulative Rail
way commission, every state has rail-
way regulation commission and the
different state railway commissions have
formed a ational railway regulative as
ISOLATION.
II appears that many members of
the state commission are opposed to
the federal railway commission. Right
here it is pertinent to inquire if the
loss Of jobs with a fat salary attached,
and junketing trips all over the state,
is not at the bottom Of the opposition7
When self the wavering balance
shakes its rarely right adjusted. II
a federal railway commission is not
needed why did the state railway COM
missioners themselves form a national
organization. Forty-eight state railway
commissions, no two Of them agreeing
exactly, causes intolerable trouble to
every railroad that does an interstate
business. If state regulation had been
sufficient why was there a demand for
federal regulation Some ten million
dollar. would be saved by the abolition
Of every state railway commission in
this country and railroad regulation
made uniform, and undoubtedly more
effective and certain.
But then some thousands Of highly
paid jobs would be abolished. II all
the work under our government, fed
eral and state, that is already done by
some other government employee, or
could without additional expense be
done by some one, were abolished, it
has been estimated that more than one
hundred million dollars would be re-
moved from the shoulders OF the tax
payers.
