OREGON COLD TO A BIG FAIR,

Oregon voters. by majority of TO-
900. rejected the plan for worlds
fair in Portland in 1927. II was pro-
posed. at first, to hold the exposition
in 1925, hut postponement to the later
date was agreed on In order that Port
land might reap the benefit of Philadel-
phia's Sesqui-Centenni In the form of
exhibits which might be shipped across
the continent to the western fair.
Enthusiasm at the start has been
tempered by consideration Of the cost.
\ constitutional amendment was re
quired in order TO permit the city
OF roses" to raise three million dollars
for the purpose, and the issue was
presented to the voters at the last cleo
ton, In a proposed amendment TO per
NIT a special tax for securing that
amount Objection to its ratification
rested on the report brought back by
o commissioner sent TO Europe that
the time is inopportune for organizing
an international exposition.
Judging from the difficulties at
tending the preliminaries Of Colonel
D'Olier's organization, Philadelphians
are of about the same mind as the Ore
gon taxpayers. II is not likely that the
CITY Council will vote a sb.OoO,0OO
loan. which is the full equivalent OF a
tax levy, without asking the people
about it.-Evening Bulletin.

THE NEXT COAL WAR.

The United Mine Workers. announce
that they have levied $2,000,000 as
seesment to finance the ccal strike ex-
pected next April. They propose to
President Harding the complete unioni-
zation Of the entire industry as the
country's beet hope of escape from
troubles like these of the past sum
mer. The United Mine Workers are
evidently conscious of their strength.
They alone have been able to make
good Mr. Gompers' boast that labor
would not surrender it's higher wages.
But this insatiate union is not in
wncible. After expending more than
the labor war tax just levied, IL con-
fessed failure in West Virginia, where
use OF United States troops was neces-
eary to suppress what was literally a
war to unionize that State. Now the
union has the assurance to demand
that the country give It n complete
monopoly and trust to It's good will.
The United Mine Workers must
think that the President and the
country have short memories. During
the strike President Harding wrote
| to the Governor of Michigan that the
big issue" raised by the coal strike
was the assumption of the power to
dictate by the strikers policy OF
| naturalization of the industry. Nc
State in the Union would submit tc
such plan on the part of the Goa
operators, the President said, and hC
added that national legislation was
necessary to control the union. Sucf
legislation may well be urged on Con.

AMERICAS WORLD DUTIES.

The election inevitably acted as
tonic to a distinguished invalid in
Wa ashington. Ex-President Wilson

II he had not struck note OF per
sonal triumph in his remarks 10 the
admirers who thronged TO his mouse

in better health than at any time
since his seizure. he paid his respects
10 those Republican Senator's VINO out
of mean and partisan motives pre-
vented this country from doing It's fuIi
duty 10 the world after the war. They
would doubtless reply. and with some
reason, that If he himself as resu'.
of his Illness. had not been out Oh
touch with realities in the senate
and with the sentiment or the people,
he might have made concessions which
would have brought the United States
in 10 the League of Nations. But all

In the present. Mr.. Wilson Is entitled
TO say that if, as the Repuphcahs
allege. the election OF 1920 was a
Reputation of him, the elections this
wear are h!e vindication. Neither Is
the exact truth. but fair-minded Re-
publicans will not begrudge the former
President su-h consolation as he may
find in the Z recent political trend.
President Harding himself has been
moved by il to urge his countrymen
10 think more of the obligations to-
ward other nations which we have as
suned and cannot shirk.
There is something which must seem
to all touching and pathetic in this
brief flashing out of Mr.. Wilson's Old
spirit. Unable as he is, and must
continue TO be, to take part again
Iactively in cur political struggles, the
evidence that his mind still broods
over the great questions which it was
impossible for him 10 carry 10 sue
lcessful issue shows once more the stui
of which he is made. His very dis
ability commands for him now re
spectful hearing from his countrymen
They know that he exhausted himsel
in what he sincerely believed to b.
their service, and not the least of hi
rewards must be the softenng toward
him of the former bitter and persona
hostility. All generous-minded peopl
will hope that he may live not tsmerel,
to see the fruition of his ideas but tn
kindier judgment and warmer ap
probation of his fellow citizens.-Nev

LET Us GO FORWARD.

Former President Wilson has spoken
and he. said something. At the cleo
ton last week Delaware also spoke
and she meant something.
Woodrow Wilson stood on the steps
of his S street house In Washington
on Armistice Day and uttered a proph-
ecy. He said that the American
sense of justice is about to strike
down blind partisanship and open the
way TO bring peace to the world. Pic
turing the United States as still con-
curing in an armistice and refusing
10 go forth, meet and help TO make a
permanent and Just peace, he turned.

tives TO the honor OF their country
and the peace of the worlds" And
again he called upon America and
the world TO witness that
they do not represent the United
States because the United States
is moving forward and they are
slipping backward. Where their
slipping will end only God will
determine.
According to the official count of
Delaware's vote, it rot only shows
that Thomas +. Bayard was elected

that the Democrats had elected all

RAILROAD RECOVERY.

The two years and half that have
elapsed since their return to private
ownership have seen the American
railroads subjected to the severest test
Of all their long history. Labor troub-
les of the most disastrous type, the in
finite strain Of returning 10 pre-war
conditions In the midst Of Industrial
depression. threw upon the operating
chiefs n burden the magnitude of
which is now beginning TO be appre-
ciated. The climax OF this burden Is
at hand in the current months: only
short time ago It was predicted that
the fall and winter would see a col
lapse of transportation comparable to
the collapse of 1917-1S, when the roads
surrendered themselves TO Federal
management
These predictions have all failed Of
realization. Despite the recent shop
mems strike, the carriers are now load
ing more freight than at any time in
two years. Indeed, the number of cars
loaded during the week ended October
Il has been exceeded cnly four times
in our railroad records, and these four
times all came in the fall of 1920.
Furthermore, official reports show that
fewer freight cars are now in need of
repair than st any time since March
10. 1921. The reports show there were
54.5SS fewer bad order" cars recurring
repair on October Is than there were
on July /, when the shipments strike
began. This is an extraordinary rec
| ord.
All Of this may be said for the rail
roads without in any way indicating
| mat our transportation system, as il
stands is inadequate to the needs OF
the nations business: indeed. during
the period of Government operation
and for some time before that. it wa.
estimated that the carriers annual,
were falling short 100000 freight ant
box cars of the construction needed
to Keep pace with the expanding bust
ness of the country. Some progress.
has been made toward remedying thi,
condition, but not much; it is only h,

railroads can care for the exactin,
