For the man who is looking for po-
litical job, The Dalles in Wasco county,
is no place to 60. The women seem to
have the call in that particular part of
the state, as just at present they are
holding down the following political
plumbs:
Representative to the 30th legislative
asscmbly--Mrs. Alexander Thompson.
City attorney for The Dalles-Miss
Celia Gavin.
Private secretary for Mrs. Thompson

City treasurer for The Dallcs-Mrs.

lthat +Efee women were serving on the
board of education for The Dalles.

Dalles with coming population OF
about 5000, is also coming city be-

Mrs. Alexander Thompson is now
serving her second term as member OF
the legislature. For the 1917 legisla-

the office.
Besides taking a general interest IN
laws for the betterment of educational
institutions, during the 1917 legislature
Mrs. Thompson introduced and was in.

Imperialism Steps Out
BY Henry wood

Paris, Jan. 16.-Italy has abandoned
its imperialistis program and definite
ly accepted the British and Americas
ideas of democratic peace settlement.
That was the Interpretation in some
diplomatic quarters today Of the resig-
nation of the entire Italian cabinet
late yesterday.
Italy's territorial ambitions have
constituted one of the stumbling blocks
in the peace conferences. The old school
Italian diplomats stolidly clung to the
determination that the entire program
Of political and territorial expansion
should be carried out. The more demo
cratic members Of the government coun
selled various degrees of modification.
This led to ministerial crisis which
reached its climax yesterday.
Foreign Minister Sonnino was rec
ognized as the leader of the clique op-
posed to any modification of the pro-
visions of the London pact. His atti-
tude resulted in the resignation Of Min
lister Missolati, who held the portfolio
of military and war pensions, and the
threatened resignation of other liberal
ministers.
Can't Be Superseded Now
The understanding was reached in
Italian political circles some time age
that the solution of the problem would
be the ousting Of Sonnino, it was re-
ported.
In view Of the fact that Scnnino i.
now duly accredited delegate to tht
peace congress, it is doubtful whethel
he can be superseded. There is NJ
doubt, however. that his attitude il
the conferences will be greatly influ
enced by the cabinet resignation an
that. he. will not feel disposed to pun
sue his original course regarding tn
London pact.
In general way, Italy to date ha
been aligned with France in the gen
eral policies of political and territoria
expansion. Italy now appears to nav
abandoned France and climbed into tn
American band wagon.

Especially Directed Toward
Protecting Boys Returning
Home From War.

The senate passed its first bill Of
the session today. 1t was Senator Dim
ick' s bill designed to curb the activi-
ties Of the /. W. w. and Of bolshevists,
who wish to promote industrial and
political revolution by means of VIC:
lence. The bill defines criminal syndi-
calism and sabotage.
Senator Pierce was the only member
to speak and vote against the bill, the
other 20 senators favoring it, while
Senators Eddy, Dimick and Moser made
vigorous addresses in its support.
Senator Dimick declared that the
bill, under existing circumstances, is
one Of the prime needs Of the day. He
said Mayor Baker Of Portland had told
him that 1856 returned soldiers and
sailors in Portland had enlisted in the
|'bolsheviki movement, and he pointed to
Seattle where $4,000 had been raised
to promote the movement.
Reading of the daily papers will
show that this thing is coming west
ward" he said. 'sYou have to look this
matter straight in the face, the issue
is here. The time has come when we
must say there shall be in Oregon no
lbolshevism or /. w. W.ism that shall
seek revolution by teaching crime and
violence"
Labor Not Affected
He said the bill will not affect labor
organizations and that such organiza-
tions, which are patriotic, should sup
port it.
"It affects no one but the Grimm
all he insisted.
Senator Eddy pointed to the rise
and fall Of past civilizations and said
those of this time should not DO de-
luded with the idea that they possess
some power which holds them above q
similar fate unless the present attack
at the foundation Of civilization is NOT
suppressed. He said the menace of boil
shevism was the worst that ever faced
civilization.
"There is only one thing to do" he
said, "and that is to meet the issue. A
new situation demands new legislation
If the Legislature refused to act now
| it would be confession that we ars
so blind that we cannot read the signs
Of the times, or SO controlled by fool
/ ish sentimentalism that we would with
hold the fire department while the tenn
pie of civilization is on fire. \
Pierce Opposed BIZ!
Senator Pierce opposed the bill OF
the ground that the bill was not the
| proper method Of meeting the issue
He said the bill would be likc Haunting
red flag in the face of the bolshev
lists, and he argued that perhaps ther'
was need for society to reorganize it

be able to earn living for himself ant
