AUTOCRACY VANoUISHED.

Democracy has won its final and
greatest conflict with autocracy. When
the mad conspiracy between the Ho-
henzollerns and HapSburgs plunged
the would into bloodshed, there were
but three actual autocracies in tie
world: Germany Austria-Hungary
and Russia.
- Russia was first to collapse. The
people of the cars dominions had lit
tie comprehension of what self-gov-
eminent really meant or how it could
be achieved. The very rich and great
were devoted to the autocracy, whence
came their privileges The masses
had been thoroughly inoculated with
the impossible dreams of socialism
dreams Of a Utopia where no one had
to work more than he liked and where
each would be the equal in all respects
of his fellow men.
The Russians are about equally hum
CRY now. 1t is estimated that fully
twenty-five millions of the victims of

twelve months, reach through starva-
ton the ultimate equality OF death.
The car was put to death. What
J. has or may he the fate Of his miser-
able pro- German wife, who betrayed
her empire to ruin, is not yet known,
The condition of Russia under So
cialism is worse than was that Of Bel
" GUM under German oppression. That
Russia never again will be an auto
crazy we know But the future alone
arq can tell what sort of government or
how many governments will replace
the present anarchy,
The next of the autocracies to col
lapse was Austria Hungary. That the
great empire ruled by the Hapsburgs
7 should suddenly go to pieces, is almost
unthinkable. But the disintegration
is certain Part of what was Austria
Hungary will be joined 10 italy; an
other part will enlarge Serbia: still
another will go. to Rumania; another
part will be joined to Russian and
Polish territories and the
kingdom Of John Sobeski will again be
'ccaIftdc into existence. That Czecho-

LEXINGTON MAN
WANTS TO ENLIST
Try to Enlist in Some Branch
of the War Work Which
viii Take Him to
the Front.

With view to enlisting in some
branch of the service which will take
him to the front in France. w. G..
Scott. warehouseman and banker of
Lexington, departed on last Friday
evening for Arlington and from there
he went on to Portland for a day or
so, to attend to some business af-
fairs. These out of the way he i'm
mediately departed for the East, 60
ig first to his old home in Iowa for
short visit with relatives and
friends. and then from there to Otto
wa, Canada. the place of his birth,
at which city he has hopes of being
accepted as volunteer in the war
work Of that country. Mr.. Scott
made up his mind to this sometime
since, feeling that while he was some
what past the age limit, he was yet
physically fit to do lot of work at
the front and will urge his accept
ance either as an ambulance or truck
driver As the war has progressed,
Mr.. Scott has been restless to take
hold of the real activities at the front
Some time since he applied for SER
vice in the United States but could
not be accepted on account Of his age,
and later he made application at the
British headquarters In Portland and
was told that he could be taken as a
Eiachinist. but he did not feel quail
fed for such work.
AS truck or ambulance driver he
feels sure that he can make good and
Is therefore very anxious to enlist.
Mr.. Scott is sixty-hve, is In the best
of health. strong and vigorous and
there Is no doubt at all but that he
can do the WORK and he has the de-
termination to try.
Should he fail in his ambitiOs to
become one Of the force at the battle
front. Mr.. Scott will return. content
that he has done all he can. He ex-
poets to be absent for about thirty
days, continuing his visit in Canada
and Iowa.

YOUNG MEN WILL
REC|STERFOR DRAFT

Portland, Ore, May 15.-Registra-
lion of the young men of Oregon and
other states who have reached the
age of 21 years since last June S will
be required on day soon to be set
by proclamation of President Wilson.
This day will be fixed by the Presi-
dent as soon as Congress enacts nec-
essary legislation, now pending. That
Is expected to be very soon.
In the meantime, the task of organ
izing Oregon for this new registra-
tion Of men for military service has
already begun under instructions
from the War Department. These
instructions emphasize the need for
perfecting beforehand a complete
working organization so that on the
day set the registration will be 100
per cent strong.
On last June S, all men between
the ages Of 81 and 80 years, inclu-
sive, were required to register for
military service. As the number of
men now in the 21-year-old class is
estimated to be approximately only
one-tenth of those registered then,
the task this year will not be so great.
However. it will be heavy enough
to require the most alert co-opera-
tion on the part of every local board,
and of state, county and city officials,
to carry it through
The responsibility for conducting
the registration will fall on local
boards in all districts except those
of 10000 population or more, where
the Mayor is responsible. The local
boards have been notified to prepare
Immediately lists of the registration
places for the new registration, to
have these lists posted, and take all
other necessary preliminary steps.
In the city of Portland, which alone
comes under the 10000 classifica-
tion, Mayor Baker will have the re-
sponsibility for these preparations.
Regulations will shortly be issued
by the War Department providing for
the registration of men who are un-
able by reason of illness to present
themselves for registration In person,
and for the registration Of absentees.
AS was the case last June S, the
| registration, Is to be cOmpleted in a
single day.
Every young man who has attained
his 21st birthday since last June 5,
for his own protection, should keep
well posted as to the day fixed by the
, ! President for the registration, for ig-
norance of the registration date will
not be accepted as an excuse for fail
ing to register.

Mrs. Frank Bayless died Tuesday
at the J. H. Quackenbush home on
Rhea creek, as a direct result of a
paralytic stroke, which seemed to
affect her entire right side.
Although Mrs. Bayless had been
in failing health for many months,
her condition during the past few
weeks had apparently improved and
the first OF the week Mr.. Bayless took
her out in the car to the Quacken-
bush home. At the time Of the
stroke, which was the third suffered
by Mr.. Bayless, she was sitting near
the front steps of the Quackenbush
house. She lived about twenty hours
after being stricken.
The funeral was held at o'clock
this afternoon from the Federated
church, Rev. H. A. Noyes having
charge of the services.
Besides the husband, one daugh-
ter and an adopted daughter, Mrs.

Local Red Cross Chapter Will Fur

There is woeful shortage of dish

teered to gather a big box of dish

and above the regular quota of work
and every woman is asked to bring
to headquarters at the earliest posi-
BILE date, all the dish towels and rags
that can be spared. The Morrow

MANY CASES SETTLED
IN CIRCUIT COURT
Judge Phelps Holds Brief Session
Bone Dry Cases Come UP
Divorces Are Granted.

Judge G. w. Phelps of Pendeton
held brief session at the regular May
term of circuit court in Heppner the
first of the week. The two days ses-
sions were featured by the re-trial of
two cases coming under the bone-dry
law which had been appealed from
the justice court.
In the case of the state of Oregon
versus George w. Swaggart, the jury
returned a verdict of guilty and the
former fine of $3.50 was sustained by
Judge Phelps. Mr.. Swaggart was
charged with having liquor in his po-
session sometime last summer. Mrs.
Vinck, one of the witnesses in the
first trial to appear for the state came
down from Spokane and again testi-
fed that she had been given liquor
by Mr.. Swaggart. The argument of
the defense was that Mr. Swaggart
had come into possession of the IL
quor before the bone-dry law went
into effect. Mr.. Swaggart paid the
fine.
A similar case was that of the
State versus Guy Boyer. Mr.. Boyer
had also been found guilty of having
liquor in his possession and had been
fined by Judge Cornett in the justice
court to the extent of $500. The
case was appealed. The jury in the
second instance found Mr.. Boyer gull
ty and the first fine was reduced in
the amount of $3.50. S. E. Van Vac
tor, attorney for the defendant has
been granted ten days in which to
file motion for new trial.
The case Of Cole, Slusher & Thomp-
son versus John McEntire was set
tied and dismissed
The case of Henry Howard versus
f. A. Patterson was settled and dis
missed
In the case of Walther- Williams

relief work in the United States, and
