given for invading Hungary to

Hungary has been cut off

THE ZONE SYSTEM

HrOTH the National Editoria
I'D Association and the state
editorial association o.
Oregon are committed to the
policy of a zone system for pos
tage rates on second class mat
ter. 1t is easy to understand
why the country publishers
take this view.
Under the old plan in vogue
before the zone system was
adopted a flat rate per pound
was charged for second class
matter. A newspaper or maza-
zine sent from Pendleton to
Walla Walla, short distance,
was subject to the same carry
ing charge as a paper of the
same weight from New York
to the Pacific coast. On the
long shipments the flat rate of
one cent per pound, meant a
heavy annual loss to the gov
ernment.
On6 6dSLGIu mag Sd1AiO " pAe
moderate circulation is declar-
ed to have enjoyed mailing pri-
vileges that meant an annual
loss of 100000 to the govern
ment. The larger magazines,
profited more in proportion,
the annual deficit through the
unbusinesslike arrangement
costing Uncle Sam 100 millions
or more each year.
The smaller magazines and
publications throughout the
country have been retarded IN
growth through what has been
nothing more or less than a ma
tional subsidy to the magazines
and certain large city dailies:
The complaint against the
zone system comes from the
beneficiaries of the old order
The country dailies are cheer
fully paying the increased rates
which are not heavy.

little wars after the war with
which Europe is cursed.
For a time the Paris Council
closed its eyes, since this inva-
sion aided in putting pressure
on Bella Kun to retire in favor
lof a representative Govern
iment. These conditions passed
when it became evident that he
was on his way out. Every
step taken since then by the
Roumanians has been taken de-
spite Entente warnings to them
and Entente pledges to the
Magyar people.
This ugly incident of a con-
fused and perilous time has its
lesson for us. Nothing prevents
these little wars still waged
from running together into an
other general contest, but the |
purposes and the power of the
four great Western nations,
among which the United States. |
by its financial strength and
wealth of material for recon-
struction, occupies a command
ing place. The League of Ma

upon young men exacted from the
Athenians as tribute to Minas who
was said to be somewhat of tyrant,
even in that day of unsocial customs.
1t is said that Thesus attacked and
slew the wicked monster. and Ariadne,
who was very fond of the Athenian
gave him bail of thread by which
he txtricated himself from thc win l.
ing passages. He then married the
beautiful damseL but afterwards de-
serted her. She was sorely grieved at
the action of her spouse, and tried
to hang herself. but was persuaded
against it by Bacchus who married her
and presented her with a golden crown
and after her death it was placed
among the stars. The constellation is
also called Ariadne's Crown"

NEWS FROM ESSEN

M~ he MUTT WORhO HdNS
VI given their name to many
famous guns and to fam
Gus plate steel to resist the mis-
siles of guns. But all at once
that prodigious labor of des-
truction has proved as vain for
the land of the Krupps as vol
ley of blank cartridges. Not
only is this war dead but all
war is moribound, and the
Krupp Works are clamoring
eagerly for civil contracts and
peaceful opportunities.
A vivid picture of the new
era is given in an Essen dis
patch which tells of a general
appeal made by the managers
of the industry to the workers.
Recently the Krupp concern
was bidder for the steel work
on the Norwegian state rail
ways, also for a big contract
with one of the largest concerns
in Holland. Nevertheless, the
Holland firm allotted its con-
tract to an English competitor,
and Norway will secure its rail-
road steel at much higher
price from the United States.
There fore the Krupp firm
begs its workers to take warn
ing. for the managers believe
these contracts were lost be-
cause of strikes at the plant and
industrial unrest in Germany.
The directors implore the en-
ployes to cooperate in the eff
fort to secure all the business
possible.
A vivid picture is this Of a
striking change. A few
months ago and the name OF
Krupp was almost as imperial
as that of Hohenzollern.
Throughout four years of earth
quake the enormous mills roar
ed ande toiled to make new ma
chimes to cause mankind to
shudder. There was no lack OF
hands then, nor of contracts,
nor power to compel toilers to
accept conditions.
Now these famous furnaces
are again dinly lighted to be-
qign pacific efforts. And where
has the war left the cannon
makers? Far behind. They
made guns to blast cathedrals,
to hurl flame into the libraries
of Louvain, to shoot death over
lseyenty-five miles of country,
side into a Paris Church. And
they have finally destroyed
their own security, shattered
their own prosperity. and must
begin the unwonted task o1
conciIiating their employees
and begging for consideration
in the foreign markets whicI
they planned to dominate Tor
ieverl

The meeting in the park last eve
ming was not Just what we had hoped
for. The speaker, Mrs. LaMance, did
her part beautifully, but the good
people of Lakeland failed to respond
i'm other words were not present.
The ministers of our city who repre-
sent the religious atmosphere and
number ten or twelve were from
some cause prevented from being
present, except one We would like
to see the religious sentiment SO
strong that the moral uplift will be
felt to such an extent that we can
cease from worry about the tempta-
lions that await our boys and girls,
it will mean and increase in the per-
cent Of their grades in school work.
So not only the ministers and their
good people, but the teachers OF our
schools as well might be able to as
sist or cooperate with us in this work
The Boy Scouts with their good
leader came nobly to the front and
did their part for which we wish to
than them very much.
