REICHSTAC IS 81 OCKING KAISER

II the chancellor yields to the
reichstag demand for parliamentary
reform, there is no reason why he
should resign. The centerists' peace
resolution is finding majority sup
port, altho most national liberals
oppose IT.
Think Problem Solved
Today it was held the kaiser's
promise of Prussian electoral re-
forms had solved the question
which started the present crisis.
But this was held TO be of minor
interest to the parliamentary re.
form now foremost in the agitation
of the centerists.
A number of officials. however.
held that this question would never
have been raised if the Prussian re-
forms had been promised at an
earlier date.
Today there were repeated con-
ferences between the emperor. the
crown council, the chancellor and
the crown prince with their conf
dental advisors and the parliament
tary leaders. These meetings at
tested the earnestness with which
the crown council is considering
the situation.
A great debate is expected in the
reichstag Saturday.

TO Germany.
countries contiguous to Germany.
SO long as. this continued. the ef-
fort to bring Germany to her knees
by economic pressure was bound to
fail
Was Last Resort
Yet the embargo policy involved
such a violent change in our atti-
tude as to the rights of neutrals
that we have adopted 1t only as a
last resort.
That We have been forced to
adopt 1t, and virtually say to the
neutral nations, FIGHT WITH US
OR EAT WITH GERMANY" is
due in great measure to the cow
ardice and cupidity OF the neutrals
themselves.
Germany has stood and is stand
ing over them with the threat OF
the mailed fist If they do not help
feed her. And at the same time
she threatens. she tempts with un-
heard-of prices f, what she wants.
AS soon as Uncle Sans embargo
gets into good working order,
there not only will not be any
surplus food in the neutral coun-
tries; there will actually be such
food scarcity that they will all
have to go on a ration basis.

lies. The man of wealth and influence
because of a certain amount of selfish
ness in his nature unjustly lays burd-
ems grevious to be born upon the
shoulders of the man under his power
He lowers their wages, lessons their
income and increases the prices of
their necessities for the sake of mere
profit. And as oppression is always
followed by rebellion sooner or later,
it is only natural that some enmity
should arise under such an economy.
But the rich and powerful are not
alone to blame. They are not alone
unjust. The so-called oppressed is
often as unreasonable in his demands
as the oppressor is unjust in his op-
pressions. He for instance, refuses
to recognize the superiority of the
man above him, and we now make this
distinction thoughtfully, but rather
claims the luxuries and successes of
the rich as his in all rightfulness, but
stolen and grated from him.
This attitude is bad mistake, and
from it raises a great deal of trouble.
AS sure as one horse may be better
than an other, just so sure is it that
one man may be superior to another
The whole world commonly assents to
the fact that there is a difference in
the physical strength of individuals;
that one man is morally better than
another; that so-and-so is a keener
business man than such-and-such.
Thus it is that in the physical world,
the intellectual, spiritual, and moral
world we commonly accept distinc-
lions between individuals as regard at
tainments But in the political and in
dustrial world only one element ac-
cepts the distinction, and the other
element refuses absolutely to acknowl-
edge that any such thing exists. Here
is where the injustice of the man low
er down in the scale of accomplish
ments comes in.
Here is the difference between the
injustice of the rich and the injustice
of the poor. The injustice of the rich
comes from selfishness, and the in
justice of the poor from covetousness
The rich is prone to neglect and ig-
more; the poor is apt to condemn and
withhold credit from those to whom it
is due.
Should we leave this problem to the
rich and powerful to solve, they would
seek the solution in the submission OF
the weak to their stronger desires
Should we leave the problem to the
poor and weaker class, they would
seek the solution in bringing the pow
erful down to a common level with
them. Either solution would be a ca
lamity to the progress of the whole

FAREWELL PARTY

Monday evening, in the basement of
of the Christian church, was held a
farewell party, in honor of the Messrs
Burton Dunn, Frank Richards, Lester
and Earle Newbry and Miss Mary
Dunn, who are leaving for Corvallis
to attend the Oregon Agricultural
college.
The room was prettily decorated in
the colOrs of the young peoples So
ciety, and the young peoples class, or
in red, white and green. There was
also a large table of flowers, and our
national colors.
The program consisted of a well
come speech by the pastor, and talks
from all the young folks that are go
ing away, and a reading by Mrs. E. E.
Deeds. The talks were quite interest
ing, especially the talk Of Miss Mary
Dunn, who. advised the future high
school graduates to plan on going to
college and to work hard to accom-
plish the plan, saying that every one
with grit and ambition could make
his way through college and be
more for it than the young mar
or woman who did nothing more than
enjoy, in a wrong manner, the advan-
tages of a wealthy father and mother.
After the program and interesting
games, refreshments were served
consisting of two courses. The first
was sandwiches, coffee and pickles
the second was ice cream and cake.
The crowd then retired, saying that
they had had a splendid time, and
wishing the young folks all the sue
cess in their college career.
