MAKING POLITICAL
(Oontinued from page onel

And before any appointments were
made, according to information that
comes from apparently reliable sources,
the governor told Lea he was going to
appoint him as a member of the state
industrial accident commission, which
lob pays a salary Of $4,000 a yolr.
At that time Lea reId o good job
with q big meat company in Portland.
As the story goes Lea resigned his job
and prepared to move to Salem. He
waited impatiently for the announce
ment Of his appointment, as that was
a little detail necessary before he could
begin to draw the $500 per month.
One day the announcement were
made and Lea's name was not among
the appointees. What Lea said then I'm
cle Sam would not permit to pass thru
his postoifice if it were printed. Lea
explained to his boss in Portland and
got his old job back.
But the governor felt mean about The
deal and decided to make a place Tor
Lea, so events indicate. A fight was
started to Gust w. Al Jones as seere-
tary of the fair board. NJ. L. Jones of
Marion county is q member of the board
and an old Jones family feud was stir
red II p Members of the fair board were
whipped into line to vote to GUST Al
Jones and put in Lea. After weeks Of
bitter controversy the thing was accom-
plished.
Both Meredith and Jones had been
paid a salary of $1,000 a year. That had
been the salary of the fair board see
retaryship for many years past. But
Lea s salary was soon raised to $4,000
a year.
Mrs. Weatherred was one of the board
members who was whipped into line to
vote to oust Jones and put III c She
believed she would thus win reappolnt
ment, but all the information that is
NOW available is to the effect That she
win not be reappointed.
In some other matters she has not
blindlv followed the lead of the admin
istration forces. She has been a thorn
in the side of NJ. l.. Jones and some
of the other members of the board who
arc closest to the governor. They do
mot want her reappoiptee. Seither does
Lea want her roappOinted. And, accord
ing to report, NJ. L. jones is the tinan

somewhat of a power behind the throne.

NO AUTOCRACY FOR US

Commenting on President Wilson's
plea for a Democratic Congress the
New York Sun says:
There is yet another aspect of the
matter which may be family indi-
Gated in one paragraph. Shall there
be DIFFERENTIATION in all other
parts of the world, and no self-de-
termination in this republic? Shall
the rest of the world be made safe
for democracy and the very first
principle of democracy be vetoed in
the United States by Executive de-
cree? Perhaps this is, after all, the
most momentous question raised by
the Presidents ideals. Perhaps
nothing better could have happened
for the preservation, in the long
future, of our cherished institutions
of representative democracy than
this amazing pronouncement of yes
terday. 1t will at least serve to
bring into the clearer light, cer-
tainly If perhaps prematurely. broad
issues of domestic import which have
been for some time dimly discern
ible in the shadows cast by the great

4 Shabby and Sinister Appeal
(FrOm the Philadelphia North American)

and confidence in the government Of
the United States. He attempts to
cover this outrageous demand by ad-
mttting that no party is paramount
in matters of patriotism" But his
celebrated care in the choice of
words gives unmistakable meaning
to the succeeding sentence, which
declares that the situation makes it
imperatively necessary that the ma
ton should give its undivided sup
port to the government under a uni
fed leadership"
The most obvious offense of the
proclamation is its unmanly resort
to tactics forbidden by fair play
There has been virtually no cam
paigning this year, because Amer
leans, regardless of party, have de-
voted all their energies to the Lib
erty Loan and other war projects,
and also because the influenza epi-
demic has prevented public meet
ings. And it is President Wilson,
who loftily urged that politics be
adjourned" who now prostitutes
his position as chief executive of the
whole nation to the service of a par
tisanship not only selfish but vindic-
tive, and attempts to brand as dis
loyal all citizens who have convic-
tions opposing his.
1t is certain that a Democratic
Congress would stand unitedly
against repeal of the extraordinary
grants of authority. Through such
a body the vast autocratic powers
now held by the executive would be
projected into the future, and the
most vital interests of the American
people put absolutely at the direc-
ton of one partisan will. There
would be no inquiry into the colossal
waste of public funds through eX-
travagance and incompetence. The
problems of rehabilitation and gov
ernment railroad ownership, the
policies of the merchant marine, the
tariff, universal military training
federal control of the supplies, dis
tribuuon and prices of necessaries
all these things would be subject to
his arbitrary decisions. And since
this administration draws its main
support from the south, this means
that the nation would be under a
political absolutism directed by par
tisanship and sectionalism.
By his action President Wilson
has violated the first principles OF
Americanism and democracy. For
the chief executive to adopt such a
position under any circumstances
would be discreditable enough. But
the worst of his offense is that while
receiving, as COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the nation in time of war, the loyal
and united support of all citizens,
he has forced a cleavage in public
thought and purpose, not upon any
true test of patriotism, but by raising
issues of partisan politics.

THE PLANTING OF A TREE

(From Steep Trails, by John Muir,
Houghton, Miffiin Coz
When a man plants a tree he
plants himself. Every root is an an
chor, over which he rests with CRATE
full interest, and becomes sufficiently
calm to feel the joy of living. He
necessarily makes the acquaintance
of the sun and the sky. Favorite
trees fill his mind, and, while tend
ing them like children, and accept
ing the benefits they bring, he be-
comes himself a benefactor. He sees
down through the brown common
ground teeming with colcred fruits,
as If it were transparent, and learns
to bring them to the surface. What
he wills he can raise by true en-
chantment. With slips and rootlets,
his magic wands, they appear at his
bidding. These, and the seeds he
plants, are his prayers, and, by them
brought into right relations with
God, he works grandel miracles
every day than ever were written.

NOT HARD TO DECIDE

[From the Altoona Tribune.l
There is no reason why any citi-
zen of Pennsylvania should find it
difficult to make up his mind con-
cerning candidates for whom to vote
on election day. AS it happens the
issues are clearly defined between
the gubernatorial nominees of the
two great parties.
Judge Bonniwell. the Democratic
nominee, has made the issue very
plain. He came out as the wet"
candidate and the liquor people
managed to get him the Democratic
nomination by few votes more than
Guffey received. Since his nomina-
ton he has been going up and down
the state denouncing temperance
ideas and making the liquor issue
his sole stock in trade. =.

SPROUTS CAMPAIGN
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer

tFrom the Philadelphia Inquirerl
Circumstances over which he has
no control have compelled Senator
Sproul to abandon his formal cam
paign in Pennsylvania. He had
numerous engagements to speak in
various parts of the State, but it has
been found necessary to cancel these
dates, and it may be said that, so far
as mass meetings and the regulation
red light and hurrah business go, the
campaign it at an end.
But 1t is to be earnestly hoped
that the absence of these outward
signs of activity may not affect the
zeal of those citizens who believe
that Senator Sproul is the ideal man
for the Governorship and that the
success OF the Republican ticket at
the forthcoming election is a de-
sirable thing for Pennsylvania. Not
in many years has there been a can
didate with higher qualifications for
the high Office to which he aspires.
Not for long while have we found
a man better equipped for the duties
of the Governorship than this man
OF affairs, who knows every corner
of the Commonwealth, and who has
the will and desire to give the people
a progressive, business-like and COM
petent administration.
Election day will be here in a few
days, and it behooves the good citi-
zen to do his own campaigning in the
interval. BY rare good fortune the
members OF the Republican party
have candidate for whom it is un-
necessary to make apologies. His
record is an open book. He has
served in Harrisburg for more than
twenty years, and in all that time he
has been honest and straightforward
with the people. He has voted ac-
cording to his convictions, and even
when he has found it necessary to
differ with his friends, he has COM
PEELED their respect. He may be
said TO be his own platform, al
though at the outset of the cam
paign he declared himself on all the
important issues of the day in a
calm, dispassionate and dignified
speech. His strength lies in the
fact that he is progressive, that he
is strong without being tyrannical:
that he is honest without constantly
prating of his honor, and that he has
the poise and the ability to be a
first-class executive of the keystone
State of the Union.
The opponents of the Republican
ticket are making "gum-shoe"
campaign. They are all things to
all men, and they are counting up
on the small registration and the
supposed apathy of the people for
surprise on election day. To be
forewarned is to be forearmed, and
every real Republican who hopes for
the success of his party, every good
citizen who wants an honest and
progressive administration of the af-
fairs of the State, and every Penn
sylvanian who desires a Governor
resolve to vote on election day and
induce his neighbor to do likewise.

"HE WAS A ROOSEVELT"

Somewhere near Chambry, France,
Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt is
sleeping, and to every American the
spot where he lies is hallowed soil,
says William Heyliger in October
Boys Life. On an afternoon in mid
July, just as thousands of people
were pouring from the great Office
buildings and shops of New York for
lunch, newspaper extras announced
that he had been shpt down while
fighting two German battleplanes.
Men who had never seen him bit
their lips and stared ahead with eyes
grown suddenly moist. Women
pressed handkerchiefs to their lips
as though to hold back their express
sions of pain. over in France a boy,
and for a moment a great, rushing
city paused in it's toll to do silent
reverence to his memory.
He was a Roosevelt" men said
in husky voices, as though that told
the story.
1t is a great thing for boy to
carry in his veins the blood of a
family rich in traditions of service,
of patriotism, and of clean, noble
love of country. Quentin Roosevelt
was such a boy. AS an infant, he lay
in his mothers arms while his faith
er, under a broiling Cuban sun, led
the Rough Riders against the Span
ish lines at Las Guasimas. AS a
schoolboy the great public buildings
at Washington were familiar to his
sight, for his father was then Presi-
dent of the United States. His young
eyes saw Congress. in session. He
heard earnest debates on public
questions of Importance. He was too
young, perhaps, to realize then what
it all meant; but from it, and from
the staunch family of which he was
the baby, he absorbed the finest
ideals of liberty. And for liberty, on
that mid-July day in France, he gave
his life.

~ quaintance who twice voted for
Mr.. Wilson, and who has had
such faith in the President that he
defended the recent diplomatic cor
respondence with Germany, was pro-
foundly shocked on Saturday by the
White House proclamation demand
ing the election of a Democratic
Congress as a test of the nations
loyalty to the government. Has
the President" ne asked us, gone
mad?"
We took this to be, of course, what
is called. a rhetorical question, and
not serious inquiry as to the mem
tai state OF the executive. 1t may be
observed, however, that if the as
tonishing utterance were a product
of a mind diseased, instead of an act
showing great power of will and per-
sonality, it would have to be re-
garded simply as a new symptom of
a long-standing malady. For the
present proposal differs in degree
only, and not in kind, from many
demands for absolute control made
by President Wilson. What makes
1t remarkable is the issue which
prompts it. In former appeals he
asked for autocratic power on the
ground that he had to deal with hid
den mysteries of statecraft, and
Americans patriotically deferred
But here he cites matters of national
concern respecting which all citi-
zens have full knowledge and the
strongest convictions.
From the time when this country
entered the conflict President Will
sons attitude has suggested that he
regarded the war as a personalIv
conducted and party controlled en-
terprise. Unquestionably he has
prosecuted it first of all for the bene-
fit of the nation; but none the less
his sense of proprietorship has led
him to capitalize it to the limit for
the political benefit of himself and
his party In doing this he has ex-
hibited a wonderful skill and audac-
ity, representing flagrant partisan
ship as lofty patriotism, and making
patriotism serve the sordid ends of
partisanship. But never before has
he gone so far in studied effort to
prohteer politically by the misuse
of both.
There can be no question of mini
mizlng or misunderstanding his ap-
peal. 1t has been put forth avowedly
as the dominating utterance of the
campaign, and such it will assured :
~ be. Whatever its results, Amer
leans Will be in no doubt as to the
nature of the regime which the ad-
ministration purposes to impose up-
on the country.

dence of national unity, patriotism

NO GERMAN TOYS FOR US

4" HE New York Tribune reports
that 400 tons of German
toys have arrived in New
York"
But who wants to buy German
toy?
Is any American so cold of heart
that he would willingly place in the
hands of his little daughter a doll
made, possibly, by one of the fiends
who chopped off the hands of Bel
gian babies? Or who would want
his son to play with an automatic
toy devised by that same devilish
ingenuity that invented poison gas
and the fame thrower?
How do we know that in these
toys do not link some OF the devilish
internal machines that have blown
to pieces Allied soldiers picking up
apparently innocent objects on the
battleields of France?
The firm to which the toys were
consigned has refused TO accept
them, and very properly so.
We used to love the German
Noah's arks and the long rows Of
little wooden animals that came
with them. They brought us dreams
Of the kindly old toymakers who
passed away with the coming of the
new and brutal Germany of Kaiser
ism and the Junkers. A German
ark now would remind us only of
the flooded lowlands of Belgium
and France, with the glassy-eyed
corpses of drowned soldiers staring
at us from their watery graves.
Made in Germany" used to be a
legend to delight the childish heart.
II was a part OF the Christmas sea-
son and decorated half the toys old
Santa Claus tucked away in youth
ful stockings or tied to the Christ
mas tree. Then Made in Germany"
meant merely that the bauble had
come from overseas. Now Made
in Germany" means made in hell.
German toys are blood-stained,
around them linger the dark shad-
ows of raVage and murder and on
them is the stamp of the most devil
ish nation God ever permitted to
prepare on earth for their everlast-
ing punishment hereafter. They
reek OF the charnel house and the
pit. We want none Of them.

GODS SUNSHINE

Never-once-since the world began
Has the sun ever once stopped shin
ing.
His face very often we could not see,
And we grumbled at his incon-
stancy;
But the clouds were really to blame,
not he,
For, behind them, he was shining.
And so-behind life's darkest clouds.
Gods love is always shining.
We veil it at times with our faith
less fears,
And darken our sight with our fool
ish tears,
But in time the atmosphere always
clears,
For His love is always shining.
