CAR AND KAISER
Both Titles Mean the Same. apd.Ars

Both Titles Mean the Same apd.-Ars
Derived From Caesar.
It seems strange that two words so
different in sound and spelling as czar
and kaiser are the same. Both are
but changes made In the course of
nearly 1000 years in the word caesar.
All the Roman emperors took their
title from the first emperor-our old
friend of schoolboy days-Julius Cae-
sar. When Charlemagne founded the
holy Roman empire and was crowned
emperor, he took the name caesar or,
in the frankish form, kaiser. When
the modern German empire was estab-
lished in 1871 the German emperor,
William l., grandfather Of the present
kaiser, took the same title--kaiser.
Similarly the rulers Of the eastern
empire at Constantinople, successors to
the old Roman empire, called them
selves caesar. Every petty chieftain or
prince in the territory surrounding the
eastern empire copied the custom and
called himself caesar or czar. In the
course of time, however, the greatest
Of these, the czar of Muskovy, conquer
ed the other czars until he was the sole
or practically the sole ruler called czar.
However, the king Of Bulgaria, when a
few years ago he had himself crowned
as king, took the title of czar.-Pitts-

The Gordian Knot.

As the old legend goes, the father or
the Greek King Midas, once king Of
Phrygia, was originally poor peasant.
The people of Phrygia being much dis
turbed, an oracle had Informed them
that wagon would bring them king
who would put an end to all their
troubles. Not long after this saying.
Gordlus Midas father, suddenly ar
rived in the midst of an assembly Of
the people, riding in his wagon. At
once, to the great surprise of Gordius,
they made him king. In his gratitude
Gordius dedlcates the wagon to the god
Zeus, and 1t was placed in the acropo-
lis at Gordium. The pole of the wagon
was tied to the yoke by knot of bark,
and n second oracle declared that who
ever united that knot should reign over
all Asia. 1t was Alexander who united
the knot by cutting it with his sword,
thus assuming himself to be the man
referred to by the oracle.

One of Oregon's leading citizens
passed on when ex-United States Sem
ato1 Charles w. Fulton laid aside
life's labors. Prominent politically
for many years, here was man who
sacrificed his ambition and statesman
ship on the cross of Statement One
and the Oregon System. Profoundly
schooled in and welded to all methods
employed by the legislatures in the
election of United States Senators, he
unfortunately appeared for reelection
to the Senate at the time when the
Oregon system was up for ratification
by the people. He conscientiously be-
lieved in the old principles, clung to
them and was defeated in the primar-
les by Mr.. Cake, who stood for State
ment One. and who in turn was defeat
ed in the election after his reputation
of the Statement, by present Senator

CHAPMAN AND UMATILLA.

G. c. Chapman, editocr of the Ore.
gon Voter, published in Portland, has
assisted in the management of Red
Cross, Y. M. G. A. and Liberty Loan
drives and he is up in the top notch
of knowledge concerning these drives.
He says in recent issue OF his pub
lication:
"Umatilla county has established
such record throughout the United
States as the leading county of its
size in all patriotic subscriptions that
there is a disposition to work Umatilla
and let the rest of the state take care
of itself.
"We note that in the Armenian Re-
lief drive, Umatilla is the only county
reported as having contributed any
thing. About $4,000 is reported to
have been subscribed from this one
county for this necessary purpose.
"The Fosdick Commission has q

tion centers outside the camps. The
object is thoroughly worthy. but why
should Umatilla be singled out while
other counties are Indifferent
would it not be wise for Umatilla
and other counties to refrain from en-.
tering upon all drives until each drive
is SO organized with an Oregon head
quarters under such auspices that there
is a certainty that every county in the
state will be called upon to do its
share, and called upon simultaneously,
SO the publicity attendant upon same
will show just what each county is
doing in response to the call?
"Otherwise, few patriotic counties
will be SKINNED of their cream while
other counties which are less enter
prising will escape without contribut-
ing cent.
"This drive work should be CO.
ordinated so as not to wear out the
patriotic counties; it is upon them the
rest of the state must lean for in
spiration and support, and if they are
made to carry the entire load on sew
eral drives they will tire out. Spread
the burden equally"

TORPEDO BOAT DEsTRoYERs.
They Are unarmored and Are Helpless


Against 4unfire.
Every one is familiar, Of course,
with the ordinary torpedo boat, swift
vessel of from 400 to 900 tons in dis
placement, carrying no defensive ar
NOR, but armed with tubes for dis
charging the deadly torpedoes.
To counteract these wasps Of the
sea, according to the Popular Science
Monthly, type of vessel was design
ed Of about double the size Of torpedo
boats, little greater speed and In ad-
dition to torpedo tubes, armed with
rapid FIRE six to twelve FOUNDER guns,
for the avowed purpose of destroying
torpedo boats. Lately all the great
nations have stopped building torpedo
boats as originally designated and are
building torpedo boat destroyers.
Recent engagements have developed
the fact that torpedo boat destroyers
are used almost wholly as torpedo
boats. So they are really battleship
destroyers, To defend the capital
ships from torpedo attack the dread
naughts and battle cruisers are armed
with secondary batteries Of rapid fire
guns from four to six inches In diane
ter. One well placed shell from gun
of that size will ordinarily put de-
stroyer out of business. as the destroy
ers have no defensive armor whatever.
