An American Decision.

The signal defeat of Townleyism
and the red flag propaganda in the
Washington county senatorial cleo
ton goes far in justification of the
course of the state senate in declar-
ing the original election invalid and
sending the situation back to the
voters themselves for settlement. 1t
might have been said with Justice
in fact it was said-that if the cleo
ton of Wilcox were tainted, there
was no faint on the Sullivan vote
and he should have been seated; but
always would there have been a SEN
timent of dissatisfaction and a
charge of political favoritism. AS
matters stand, the voters of the dis
trict themselves have made their
decision in their own way and, it
will be agreed, in the approved
American way.
1t was an emphatic bruising of
the head of the Townley serpent.
The district did not take kindly to
the invasion of the flock of social
istic agents from the outside, with
their destructive sophistry and their
red flag advocacy. How far Town
ley and his minions were instrument
tai in arousing the Americanism of
the district against the rubber stamp
type of member of the senate can
not be determined, but it is positive
that the signal majority given Sulli-
van represents the reaction against
everything that Townley stands for
in the public mind.
It is just as we'll the people Of the
district had the opportunity to place
themselves squarely on record. In
the result Washington county gives
no power of attorney to Townley
to register it's will in the records of
the state senate.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Letting the Government Do It.

The American Federation of Labor
is doubtless right in recognizing un-
employment as the chief after-the-
war danger that now threatens. 1t
is right in declaring that unemploy-
ment means unrest among the work
ers, and furnishes fruitful field for
the agitation of the I. W. w. and
other American bolsheviki.
Among the remedies for unem-
ployment recommended by the feder-
alton is one that congress provide
funds that will "enable all govern
ment work stopped on account of the
war to be resumed Immediately and
completed"
Undoubtedly, all possible public
works of a beneficial character roads,
bridges, buildings, merchant ships,

But iftlis "a growing tendency of the |
times to call on the government to put
things through and pay the bill, in
stead of stimulating the character
istic American quality Of individual
initiative. Every time the govern
ment does accomplish, it not only adds
to the toll of taxation it must exact
from the people, but it helps under
mine and destroy personal self-reli-
ance and independence. Instead Of
doing things ourselves in the good
old American way, we more and more
incline to say, let George, that is, the
government, do it.
If congress will take the clamps off
of business, will knock the artificial
props out from under prices, will un-
dertake to reduce taxes instead of
everlastingly adding new and larger
taxes, the grit and enterprise and
Initiative of the American people will
very quickly put commerce and indus
try on stheir feet. Unemployment
and all Telated evils will quickly dis

Capitalistic Socialism.
The United States steel corporation
has a practice Of selling stock to it's
employees every year. It fixes fair
price, and then let's them buy it at so
much a month, taking it out of their
pay so they do not feel it; just like
buying an expensive dewdad for the
parlor on the instalment plan.
Only when you get the dewdad paid
for the novelty Of it has worn off
and you've got something that will
wear out and that you will get tired
of and that never will earn you a
penny.
But when the employee of the steel
corporation has his stock paid for,
he's got something that he will never
get tired of, that won't wear out, that
he can borrow money on if he has
to, and that will earn him good inter-
est every year. ~
Do you know, it's mighty intelligent
of the steel corporation to do this sort
of thing, so intelligent that it is the
greatest wonder in the world more
corporations don't do it. It gives it's
employees direct interest in the well
fare and prosperity of the business.
It helps distribute more widely the
ownership of capital, and so increases
the number of those who are personal
ly interested in the security of capital.
It encourages thrift-the kind of
thrift that has made France great,
and that has made capital so strong
that bolshevism wouldn't even dream
of seeking to enter there; because
when you attack capital there you
don't threaten just few, but pretty
nearly everybody.
Every great corporation ought to
have it arranged so that anybody-its
employees and patrons alike-could
buy it's stock on the instalment plan,
so much down and so much a month.
If the ownership of the railroads and
great industries could be made wide
enough, it would be tremendous joke
on the socialists. 1t would steal their
thunder and put them out of business
by making so many capitalists that
when Haywood got up and beloved
against capital, everybody, instead of
being sympathetic, would get mad and
shout t!"-Duluth Herald.

Memorial day last year found the
country in the thick Of conflict, the
outcome Of which was then uncertain.
The enemy against which the United
States had launched its force a little
more than a year previous had as,
sdmed the offensive and was pressing
his way forward while this govern.
nrent was expending every energy to
get its troops overseas in time to stem
the tide before the allied lines were
crushed. And 50 the people Of Amer,
lea, with heavy hearts, observed their
annual custom of decorating with
flowers the graves of their soldier
dead, for they knew not what ter.
rible toll might be taken in the
months to como, perhaps the years, Of
the flower Of American manhood sent
overseas to fight for human liberty.

fight Of last summer and autumn have
been brought back. All Of those who
persisted on the field now rest in
France. But there are sleeping on

seas or from disease contracted in the
line of duty.
It matters not whether their bodies
are here or in France, this is their
memorial day, and the American
people are pausing from their activi-
ties to pay them tribute, together with
the dead of other wars. Some day,
perhaps, it will be possible to place
flowers upon the graves of all of our
men who fell in the great fight. But
wherever they rest these men will be
honored by the people of the whole
country and Memorial day now takes
on a new significance greater than in
its inception. Perhaps some time the
lands of our allies will adopt this Gus

Of gallant deeds and

posed; democrats and republicans who
want amendments, or reservations,
made by the Senate; democrats and
Republicans who want no league at all.
Discussion is in progress, in the Sen
ate and out, but will become more
definite and pronounced after the full
text of the treaty has been laid be-
fore the public. As yet, the public
has read only a summary.

stands for what has been done at Paris.

that approval is approved by tho coun-

The Star pointed out the other day,
the President was in the picture be-
fore America entered the war, or there
was thought Of league Of nations.
Speculation on the subject began al
most Immediately after his secand
election stood assured. Everything
was SO completely upset, even at this
distance from the scene of hostilities,
and seemed 50 likely to thus continue
for some time to come, the friends and
supporters Of the President proposed
him for a continuation Of his task
until world affairs should become nor
NAL again. And their feelings are
stronger today than then.
It would have been both presump.
tuous and foolish for tho democratic
national committee at this meeting to
declare itself on the subject. The
matter is with time and the President; :
and the public, in America and else
where, must wait for the decision.

The Transfer Tax.


has been solved, at least for the pres
emit, by the Public Utilities Commits
sion in authorizing the traction com
panies to charge cents for each
transfer issued, beginning June l. 1t
is estimated that by this means some
thing over 100000 will be added to
the revenues of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company, whose pc
tition for an increased rate Of fare led
to this ruling. The company, however,
does not regard this as sufficient to
meet its requirements for the paying
Of reasonable dividend upon its
stock, holding that at least twice that
amount is necessary to this end.
The commission, however, was con-
fronted with facts difficult to over
come. One was that the Capital Trac-
ton Company. a competing line, had
not asked for nor indicated the need
Of a fare increase, and obviously no
change in the rate could be made save
in application to all. This would
greatly swell the revenues Of one line,
to q point Of more than reasonable
profit, while holding the other to a
bare meeting Of its normal dividend
requirements. Again, against the pro-
posed zone system, which would regu-
late the fare according to the distances
covered, strenuous objections were
raised by residents Of the suburban
sections on the score that the addi-
tienai zone fares would stand as a tax
against them for their enterprise in
carrying out the settlement Of the out
lying sections and impose on them a
burden of cost disproportionate to
their municipal equipment in COMPARE
son with the fares and the physical
facilities Of urban residents.
A transfer charge was the sole re-
naming possibility. It has been placed
at . cents. It has been applied to
all the lines, to prevent . discrimina,
ton between systems that would re-
suit in heavy shifting Of patronage,
which would defeat the very purpose
Of the new transport tax. 1t is not
altogether assured that the charge will
net g large . sum as estimated, for
there must be taken into account the
possibility Of transfer avoidance to
save pennies. For those who cannot
avoid transfers, and to whom they are
necessary, the fare will stand at the
sevea-eent point asked by the COM
pany.
The commission, which has super
vision over the routing Of cars, must
see to 1t that there is no change that
will aeedlessly cause transfer. At
present the through car system is In
practice On most Of the lines, and it is
possible for passengers to reach their
usual destination without transfer. A
return to the former short line system
Of routing would perhaps increase the
company's revenues, but decrease the
public convenience. Evidently the
transfer tax will not be an altogether
simple proposition. Incidentally, it
may be noted that it quite eliminates
any bene6t that the public may have
derived from the inter-eompany trans
fers granted several months ago.

Shortage Of Automobiles
Is Prophecy Of Lee Gilbert

An acute shortage of automobiles as
ahe increased demand and inability Of
manufacturers to Immediately resume
capacity production is the prophecy Of
Ice l.. Gilbert, Elgin Six distributor.
Mr. Gilbert says that country dealers
are constantly demanding more and
more Elgin cars, which proves that
people in the small towns and country
districts are more enthusiastic over
automobiles than ever before. The
demand in Oregon for quality ears
shows a material increase 50 Mr. Gil
bert says his problem is to be able
to secure enough Elgins from the fac
tory to supply the increased spring and
summer demand.
The increased demand in Oregon ter
Titory, together with the fact that the
manufacturers are not producing near
ly as many cars as they were before
the war. is certain to mean severe
shortage of ears in this section for sew
eral months to come. The production
of motor ears for 1918 was 743,394
cars short of the 1917 production.
Even though manufacturers are doing
all they can to get back to normal pro
duction, so many new families are plan.

second hand ears is 50 low that even

CARE FOR STORAGE BATTERY
Because Of Comparatively Brief Life
u Should Be Given Good Treat
ment by Owners.

After q storage battery Is fifteen
months old the dealer considers II
worthless. The fact that the battery
has such comparatively brief life at
best, should lead owners to give II
careful treatment, so as to get maxi
mum service from 1t. Adding distilled
water to the cells to bring the fluid
up to the proper level, should be done
once a week In summer and twice a
month in winter. But this Is not
enough; the gravity Of the solution
may not be correct.
A hyd-ometer syringe test is the only
sure method Of determining the condl-
toin Of the battery, and IL the cells
show below 1900 each, they require
recharging. Once every two months
the battery should be taken to the
service station for charging, espe-
clally if the user is doctor or one
similarly occupied, whose car is start
ed and stopped many times each day.
