DEMAND FOR FOOD QUALITY CATTLE

PORTLAND. June 13.-It begins to
look as il California - dumping all
It's inferior quality cattle on the Por'-
land market and sending its best
stuff to the middle west.
Recent arrivals ftom the south
would clearly indicate this fact, be-
cause no,ning has arrived from there
OF late that would even be calleI
moderately good. In fact. most ".
the arrivals would be III the junil
class
Prices being paid Tor this class OF
stuff are better at Portland than Al
competitive markets, and this is the
reason why the shipments are beins
rushed in this direction.
There is demand Tor better
quality cattle than has been received
here recently. AS nothing of this
chara cter has been available Of late
it is impossible to tell what is the
exact top of the market. For anE
material lots the trace does not fig
ure above anything over $9.5od 9.I',
although it Is quite possible that a
single load of something extra good
would bring a dime again.

The Time-Limit Amendment.

In fixing a time limit of six years on
the proposal to add prohibition article
to the Constitution, the Senate has named
an arbitrary period well beyond the
range of all the times required hereto
fore for the ratification of amendments
The first ten amendments were sub
mitted to and acted upon by the state
legislatures together, and were given ap-
prevail by the requisite number of states
IN fifteen months from the date of sub
mission The eleventh amendment was
before the states for three years and
three months. one of the longest of tie
periods required for ratification. The
twelfth amendment was ratified in nine
and half months from the time of sub
mission. The thirteenth amendment re-
ceived approval in ten and a half
months, the fourteenth in two years
one and half months and the fifteenth
in thirteen months. The longest time
required for a ratification was in the
case Of the sixteenth amendment, pro-
viding for an income tax, which was en-
tied by Congress July IL, 1909, and
was proclaimed as ratified February IS,
1913. lapse Of three years seven and

Those Who Fail of Commissions.

Great disappointment is felt by many
to obtain commissions in the new Ma
tional Army and who have been train
ing at the various reserve camps for
weeks past, only to fail to pass the tests.
1t was assured at the outset that large
percentage of these candidates would
fall short of the standards, and however
chagrined those may be who have labor
ed without success they are but getting
their share of the chances. The stand
ards have been properly placed high.
The new army must be well Offered.
The success of an army depends largely
upon the men who command it, and in
view of the short time available for the
development of men for this duty it is
essential that the tests be kept high.
Eventually some of those who are now
disappointed may succeed, as further
calls are made for troops and men to
direct them. Those who have gone
through the hard weeks of training at
the camps and fallen short in the final
examinations may later meet the re-
quirements. They have shown a SPLEEN
did spirit in their devotion to the task
to which they set themselves, and doubt
less many of them, failing to receive
commissions by the present method, may
he moved IN ioin tho ropko oDd yvorL
for commissions there. In this war
every American can do his bit, and the
man who fails to get shoulder straps and
who accepts service as a private is en-
titled to even higher honor, perhaps,
than if he had won his commission in
the reserve camps. There will be plenty
of opportunity for the aspiring young
Americans before the war is ended.

viding for direct election Of senators,
was submitted May 10, 1912, and was
ratified May 81, 1918, lapse Of twelve
and one-haH months.
Apart from the civil war amendments,
which were proposed and ratified in Pc
culiar conditions, the hardest fight over
any Of the propositions thus far made
to change the Constitution was that over
the income tax, which involved vigor-
GUS campaign in the states lasting, as
stated, for more than three and half
years. Notifications were voted and
then withdrawn. It is the privilege of
a state at any time after ratifying an
amendment to reconsider so long as the
amendment has not yet received the ap-
proval of the necessary three-fourths.
Thus in the course of the six years
granted in the case of the prohibition
amendment it will be possible for state
to be the scene of more than one cam
paign. The fact that a time limit is
put upon the amendment proposal nat
urally puts premium on delay, but it
is to be borne in mind that Congress
may after submission of the time limit
resolution to the legislatures at any later
time amend its terms by frightening
the time limit or cutting it out entirely.
if disposition prevails to block rati-
fication and if a two-thirds majority re-
mains in both houses favorable to this
constitutional change.

the course he took. All three have had
interesting experiences. Mr.. Gerard at
Berlin saw much important history
made, and helped make some Of it. Mr..
O'Gorman in the Senate found duties
that attracted him, and that developed
talents he had not before manifested.
His part in the work Of that body dur
ing his stay reflected great credit on his
capacity and industry. In his six years
there he became a national figure.
Mr.. Hughes, both at Albany in poll
tics and in the judiciary in Washing
ton, made good in the largest sense. He
was a highly competent governor, and
an equally highly competent judge. He
made reputation in both posts, and had
become so strong q national quantity
his party turned to him last year to
lead it in the presidential contest. He
was defeated by scratch.
The trio, therefore, have seen and
done much since appearing in court
years ago as practitioners. Their hori-
IONS have been widened, and their in
tellects sharpened. Probably practice
has changed, and they may have to
watch the younger men a little closely
to get the chang of things" today. The
law, they as well as others know, is a
jealous mistress, and they may find
themselves assessed for philandering.
But from the bar they came, and unto
the bar they have returned; and after
a brief period they are likely to shake
down into the old ways and means, and
find life enjoyable again in the old way.

Mr.. Rooseyelt's Proper Work.

Mr. Roosevelt was right in declining.
The craftsmanship of the New York state
food commission is not in his line.
Moreover, the Office is parochial, while
he is national. He would have chafed
in the narrow limits, and good deal of
energy have gone to waste. Gov. Whit
mans compliment was sincere, but mis-
taken in conception.
For these times, as The Star several
months ago suggested, Mr. Roosevelt pos
sesses talents all his own for public use
fulness. As an agitator he is without a
peer in the country. Even Mr.. Bryan
in that particular falls behind him. His
bounce, his earnestness, his rapid flow
of talk, make him power with a popu-
lar audience. Young men particularly
he himself will never grow old-yield
readily to his spell.
And agitators are now in request. The
war is taking hold but slowly, and Mr..
Roosevelt is one of the most aggressive
of war men. He was keen to 60 for a
soldier himself, but the President had
other plans. Three of his sons are in
uniform, and that fact, of course, adds
to his interest in the struggle. He wants
large fighting force sent abroad, and
thinks much depends on speed.
Great value would attach to a wide
stumping tour by a man so thoroughly
qualified for the work, with the war his
theme. He would draw crowds every
where; and men who had come to listen
would remain to enlist. In the south,
the near west and the west, where Mr..
Roosevelt has many friends and follow
ers, visits from him as a sort of re-
cruiting officer with rowing commits
sion would probably be very fruitful.
He has the time. The work would ap-
peal to him. The field ought to be cul-
tivated. His addresses would 90 the
limit in influence, for the reason that
for years he has been an advocate of
preparedness for war. When he speaks
on war now, therefore, there is assur-
ance of a man behind the word. He
means all he says, and has the record
to support him.
Food control is highly important, and
should be well attended to. But there
are men in New York and elsewhere
with special qualifications for that serv-
ice, just as Mr.. Roosevelt possesses spe-
cial qualifications for the service here
described. We should not waste either
food or talent. We have goodly guam
tity of both. but none too much when
world conditions are considered, and so
much depends on the redemption of our
new obligations.
