The Railways and the Press
editor and Publish er. }

If there should come a slowing down of business
in the Fall the chief will be the ncapacity
of the railroads to keep traffic open. Publishers
who suffer from slow shipment of paper only suffer
in with all business. But of all business
interests that of publication has the strongest in
fluence for relief. The public depends upon the
press for enlightenment and leadership
Experts generally have agreed that industry in
the United States has outgrown the whole system
of transportation; that steps must be taken once
to the working capacity of the whole sys-

to take time, perhaps years.

Luke Mcluke Says

A man may have better clothes
han the ones he is wearing down
own. But it is different with a
woman
Our idea of an odd man is one
who won't try to get even.
Anyway, the Mother who has four
small boys IN the family doesn't have
% spend any money for Antique
Furniture.
1t has just about gotten so that
1 woman doesn't care a hang about
the color Of the goods as long as
you can see through the skirt
If the puff curls over the ears get
any bigger, it won't make any diff
ference if a woman does wear her
hat when she is in a theatre.
Politics or no politics, if a woman
has a perfect figure and a perfect
complexion, she isn't going to worry
much over who is elected President.
Somehow or other, a fellows pretty
sister isn't half as attractive as
some other fellows homely sister.
Why is it that girl who is toe
delicate to walk squares can dance
"a miles without any trouble?
What has become of the girl who
had to use a shoe horn to get into
her hobble?
There should be some law to pre-
vent man from taking such big
chew Of scrap that his cheek bulges
out until it hangs on his shoulder.
Many a man who eats six meals
a day thinks it it up to him to &c
out and preach against intemper-
ance because he doesn't drink booze
Marriage is often a contract in
which man agrees to let some
woman make things dlsagreeable for

occasion recently arose, however, and the nice words
were said about America and Americans.
The London Times on the of the last Fourth

of its preparation kilograms sent to Prime Min
lister Venizelos and Prime Minister Miller
and of France asking that they give expression
OF their views regarding the world-nfluence of
closer and intimate Anglo American rapproche-

Replying to this request, M. Millerand of France
sent the following telegram the London paper
The great people which offered gener-

july the anniversary of its Independence.
The French Democracy is glad to associate
itself with the British Democracy in
dering homage Washington and to the
American Democracy, the first-born daugh-

which assured the victory of the Allies.

SENATOR BOURNE'S ENTHUSIASM FOL-
LOWED BY CHILL

Those who recall the optimism and enthusiasm
of former Senator Jonathan Bourne in those old Ore
gon days when he dreaming of reforming the
world and often proclaiming his success, and Incl
dentally, voting for Bryan, will not be surprised at
the story of his troubles as head of the publicity
branch of the Republican National Committee For
many weary months there has been keen rivalry be-
tween the Democratic and Republican National Com
mittees to which party would furnish the perfect
seth State to- ratify the Woman Suffrage Amendment
and make it effective. The Democrats thought they
had won when the Louisiana Legislature convened to
consider the question, but despite the efforts of
Democrats of National renown and the Governor of
the State to influence that assembly the Legislature
refused to the ratification resolution Then the
Republicans had day when the Delaware Legisla-
tursY took the question up. All the great in
party management eXerted their influence for the
resolution but it defeated there.
During all this time the leaders of the Republic
can party doing their to get Gov. Ho-
comb of Connecticut and Gov. Clement of Vermont
II convene the Legislatures of their in special
session for the purpose of ratying the amendment.
Both of them remained obdurate. Then Gov. Clement
went to Marion to talk the matter with Nom
inee Harding He had hardly completed the confer
ence when, with enthusiasm that would do credit
to the days when he Speaker the Oregon
House of Representatives, former Senator Bourne
got out "document-all separate pieces of cam

When, Gov. Clement visited him and
asked his advice Senator Harding declared

lowed.

pulously considers the rights of others is
of a different kind from the kind this Ma
ton is used to. but. we believe, will prove
very acceptable to a people worn by imper-
ious demands by man.
But unfortunately for the enthusiastic former
Oregonian, Gov. Clement has the last word in the
premises, and he has just announced that he would
not call special session of the Legislature.
Not only has wet blanket fallen upon the
Bourne efferyescence but Gov. Clement has given

MUCH WEALTH .IS

 bY COLONIES IF FRENCH DOMAIN
Possessions Rank in Wealth Next to That of Brit ish Colonial Empire;
 Exports Increase

NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.- Unusual progress in the development of com. merce and natural resources in the French colonial possessions and de pendencies has brought them wealth ranking next to that of the British colonial empire, according to a sur vey made public here by the French Commission. The French colonies, with an estimated population of 5O- 000,000, have an area of 100000 square miles.
 Total exports from the colonies in 1917, with the exception of Algeria and Tunis were valued at approxi- mately 1,10S,000,000 francs. Since 1914 exports in the various posses sions increased from 25 to 100 per cent The increases are attributed to the thrift of natives following the wars ending.
 Total Algerian exports in 1919 were more than 1,334,000,000 francs, an increase of about 55S millions over 1918. The port of Algiers alone handled exports approximating 475- 15S 900 francs, an increase of 200 S22,000 francs, according to esti- mates. Chief imports were cotton, clothing and linen, skins, coal sugar

 CHOSEN RULER
Has for Years Been Self Con- stituted Boss of AnatoIia,
 in the Sultan's Domain

KERRASSOUNDE, Anatolia, Tur- key, Sept. 1S.-Osman Agha, the new ly designated governor of Kerrass- ounde, is probably the most feared man on the north coast of Anatolia.
 When the nationalists selected Os- lnan Agha to impress Greeks, Ar menians, Jews and Turks alike into Mustapha Kemal's army, they took into their camp a man who would have beens terrible menace in op- position ranks and who is merciless in executing the orders of the An gora government
 Osman Agha has been for years the self-constituted boss of Kerrass- ,ounde. In office or out of office he is master of the local situation. Un- til recently he was only mayor of the little city. But no provincial gover- nor could give the old bandit chief orders. In fact he always managed to unseat all provincial officials. He transcended valis, metropolitans and bishops. Turks, Greeks, Armenians and Jews fear him alike, but had to obey his orders. He took over prop erty which he wanted without legal right and threw anyone into prison who questioned his authority.
 Osman Agha was even a self-con- stituted regulator of women's fash ions. He hated the high heeled shoes and short skirts which Mos

lem women copied from their French sisters. Consequently he issued an edict that no Mohammedan woman should wear a heel more than one inch high and that their dresses should come to the ankle. Then he immediately sent word to all the shoemakers and dressmakers that they would be jailed if they executed orders in violation of his edict.
 He dried up Kerrassounde by meth ods as direct as those of the late Car rie Nation. Without warning he went to all the liquor shops and poured all the spirits into the street. It was be- ing sold in violation of Mohammedan teachings. Being Turk of the old school and a total abstainer him. self, he offered no explanation what ever to the wine merchants. who dar- ed not question his authority.
