A NICE FISHY GRIN LOR THE OCTOPUS WHEN THE TIME COMES. We think we '". pi' a.int :-;nn on the familiar feaUried of the octopus, over the pnjosii ion for export duty tn ga.-oline. Wh-n that pr. posit. c n is made intt lav.-, the octc-ous niil et oil tuo o-d !h.in-'s. to-wit: To the fo.-ei;:n consiiincr: "An expert duty having . iiecn placed on our products, vc will have to rabc the prices of same to you.

Mr. Acmp will pkase xci.se u s while we perpetrate a. fable. There was once a man who had a lar-e tank to fill. He ran Into it a. four-inch pipe. Pretty mioh a very great reformer came along and told t h man that hi.s tank would till twice as fast, if he had two four-inch pipfs emptying into it.

OREGON FEET LIKE CHICAGO FEET BUT OF DIFFERENT MOULD. "Chicago feet" has long been jtfterm indicating large and generous size in pedal extremities. Chicago women have retorted that it was well to have "a gootj understanding." It looks now as if Oregon were to have the unfortunate distinction of giving its name to feet which have teen deformed by improper foot gear. The department of physical culture of the University of Oregon in making physical examinations discovered that out of 2Z co-eds only three had feet which mieht be called "good" and none had a perfect toe-line. High lief Is w ere to blame for most of the deformity. The director, Miss Frieda Goldsmith, explained the matter thus: "When one wears high heels, the muscles of the arches and back part of the foot are weakened, and gradually the arch breaks down, causing a flat foot, as well as many physical disorders." I'hysicans and physical Jirectors have horn preaching this for many years, but their warnings fell upon the deaf ears of women who were using all their aural energies listening for the last note in freak fashions for footgear. The worst of it is that even sensible styles are of no avail, for the woman who has weakened her arches by improper shoes cannot suddenly change in her maturity. Her arches must be supported for the rest of her life. Hut if the next generation of women are to have beautiful and useful feet instead of deformed and painful ones, the children and growing girls must he given shoes which are made in the shape of good feet instead of had ones. And perhaps, if they grow up used to foot comfort, they may object, later, to foetstyles which merely add ugliness to torture.

A REPUBLIC BY IMITATION AND A POOR IMITATION AT THAT. , J . oi.g the numerous things that serve to make our Mexican problem so bafl'.ing is that we are dealing not merely with a nation that has no e.-dablihed government, but a nation that is apparently incapable of selfgovernment, i Transplant any community of Americans 'or Englishiiiui or Frenchmen or (Jermans to any qurvter of the world, and they will immediately '''t "1 poditieal system and manage their public all'airs in an orderly and ilTccthe way. Fvcry intelligent American; Englishman, iVenchman or German has. within himself, the seeds of ;;oernment a knowledge of fundamental political principles, a sense of public duty and a capacity for public service. Tne Mexican has n stich talents. He lacks the instinct fur self-go vernmr-nt, aus j his Indian ancestors lacked it. and the slight admixture of Spanish blood, derived mostly through ignorant and ruthless adventurc rs. lias done him little good. He kicks even a tradition at political responsibility, because none of his ancestors have had it. tic- lacks training, because never, 'ander Diaz or any other ruler, has he been treated as a citizen. Every student of Mexican conditions realizes that as u "republic." Mexico Is a farce. Jt has a constitution modeled aitcr our own, which is an admirable document ti read, but has little to do with the actual political life of the country. As Francisco de la Harra, former provisional president of Mexico, says in a recent newspaper article: "The authors of our constitution did not succeed in creating a political organization suited to the jeculiar in e'tS of the Mexican people, especially as regards the power of the government. Nowhere in the e istitution is there evidence of a study of the people for whom the Instrument was drawn up. The history of more than half a century proves this." So Mexico, with the props of absolutism removed. t.inks into anarchy. Her government doesn't tit her people, and h-r people don't know how to frame a government that would fit them. Ami this is the fundamental fact that has to be taken into account in cur dealings with the- Mexicans. We must recognize that, aside from a very small las of cultured men. there is no body of people in Mexico worthy of ! ing called "citizens." There is no responsible middle class, as tin re is lo re. There is no intelligent public sentinunt. ta national sanity, to appeal to. There is nothing but ignorant prejudice and hatred f -ill "giim-rocs." among tie- .it majority of Mexicans. And th.s b'iml hatred of foreigners is the only thing that binds the people together. It is their substitute for patriotism.

SOCIALISTS iN EUROPE AND AMERICA AND THE SOCIALIST OUTLOOK. The lirst presidential prediction has been made. It anianates from the first presidential nominee for the 1910 campaign. Allan E. Henson of Yonkers, X. Y., the socialist candidate, announces confidently that he will receive 2,000, OuO votes next November. That would be 1,100,000 0te3 more than the socialist party has ever cast for president. It would he no greater a gain proportionately, howerer, than that of last election. Eugene V. Debs, after receiving 420, OOU votes in 10S, made a jump of more than 100 per cent in 1012, and got 901,000 votes out of about 15,000,000 cast. Hut there is no subject of political speculation more dubious today than the fate of the socialist party. The war swept the socialists from their moorings. Mr. Henson professes to believe that lie will poll a big vote by way of a popular protest against war. Socialism, he insists, Is going to establish "the rule of kindliness' in public and international affairs. And yet this Is precisely where the socialists of Europe have fallen down since the war began. Nearly all of them seem to be lighting and supporting their country's military policy willingly. The "new internationalism" and "the brotherhood of man" have lost their power as party slogans. Even tome of the foremost American socialists have spoken in favor of big armament. The socialists, in fact, have shown in a tune of crisis that they are not super-economists and super-humanitarians, but Iranian beings very much like other men. As a result their organizations in Europe are shot to pieces, and the socialist party In America gives no convincing signs of strength.

NOW THE UTILITARIANS PROPOSE EXPLOITING THE ZOO. New York has found a new use for its zoo. Two lady elephants were hitched by chains to big snow plows the other clay, and were driven up and down the roads and pathways in Central park. The elephants had a beautiful time, and didn't want to stop and go into their stalls when their Vlrivers were exhausted. This suggests vast possibilities of making zoos pay for themselves. Why should the animals live in idleness s'-pported by their various communities? Why not use the pigeems to deliver mail, hire the monkeys out to farmers in the fruit picking season, and employe the myrmecophaga jubata on contract to keep apartment houses clear of cockroaches? The kangaroo might perhaps be taught to take school children on its back and hop over street crossings with them. In short, the idea, once proposed, expands into limitless possibilities.

' FITTING CHILDREN TO LIVE BY WORK IN THE HOWL AND ON THE FARM. The children of well-to-do parents today are foTtanatc, sa.- Fia-aUnt Emeritus Flbd of Harvard, speaking for the ger. ral education board, because they den': hae to d" bouse v. . : k it farm work.

REAL BEERY ODOR THEY HAVE IT IN HANCOCK COUNTY, TEXAS. Eleven bound volumes of letters, 30 depositions and miscellaneous testimony making a grand total of 13,C 00 pages, evidence in the suit of the state of Texas against the seven breweries, recently nailed for violation of the anti-trust laws, have been sent by the Texas attorney general to the elistrlct clerk of Hopkins county to be placed on record. It now becomes privileged matter and available for use in the coming elections. Gee! what a sweet smelling election Texas is going to have, with fifteen thousand pages of such campaign material hound and ready for use, free of cost! If the health authorities don't fumigtie and refumigate the Hopkins county records before turning the politicians in to feed, the Lone Star state will he about ;V odorous as a glue factory, or Terre Haute along about election time, pay nothing of the possibilities of South Fend.

Their spirit might well be emuI lated by the anthracite operators and miners before a ! disastrous deadlock occurs in the hard coal industry.

IMUISIDEXT AND IIIS CIHTICS. (Sacramento, Cal., Union, Hep.) Pres't Wilson is both the puzzle ami the despair of the politicians. First they feareel he would not indorse the tariff commission idea and now they worry because he did. He maele "a masterly blunder" in the language of the critics when he failed to take steps to strengthen the defenses of the nation and he was cartooned outrageously because ho used "notes" to uphold the nation's honor. Hut he brought still more acute grief to his opponents when he took a strong stand in favor of national defense and went on the s'tump to make his appeal to the people. This "schoolmaster in the white house," first opposed because of his "persecution" of business, has confounded his critics by entering on a system which has at its foundation a desire to help legitimate business, even though it may have technically violated the law. There can be no question that the

president in this matter is in accord with the general sentiment of the people. A few months ago. the presielent, his critics said, was "losing his grip." Now they see danger for him because of too much popularity following his speech-making trip through the middle west. Criticised because of his determination to "force dow n the throats of the people" his "cumbersome and unworkable army plan." he permitted his secretary of war to resign in anger over the extermination of the president to unite w it la the representatives of the people in working out a defense plan. It is a hard matter to please all the people all the time, particularly when a considerable portion of them do not want to be pleased any of the time.

rent expenses up to the end of the current fiscal year, March 31, and that to start off the year beginning April 1 with a sufficient credit to meet all probably outlay for the first two months that is, until the end of May he ought to have about a billion and a half. The commons approved these estimates and voted the sums stated with apparently as little concern as though guineas were as plentiful as blackberries. The wonder Is how Britain and much more so how the other nations can stand this enormous and ever-growing drain. With the amount voted yesterday, her war outlay for the year ending March 31 will have been seven billion dollars.

At the rate of disbursement estimated for the April and May months, she. will require nine billions for the next year. At present she is spending about 22 millions a day, or nearly a million dollars for each hour of the day and night! Where can it all be coming from, and when will she ever be able to pay it back? Those who can comprehend figures in the amounts above named, and can form an idea of their significance, may sit down at their leisure and attempt to analyze the premier's statements; but the head of the ordinary reader is simply thrown into a dizzy whirl when he looks at them. When he reflects that this war game has been going on now nearly 10 months: that about a dozen nations are involved in it; and that jus: one of them is spending about a million dollars an hour, or nearly 17 thousand a minute, or nearly 400 every time the clock ticks off a second when he tries to think this all out for himself and wonders what It is leading to, he has to give up in bewilderment. Not one in a thousand

can form even the faintest idea of

what the whole horrid nightmare means.

A MILLION AN 1IOCIL (Desert News. Salt Lake City.) Every' time a member of the ministry in one of the nations at war comes before the people's representatives with a demand for more money to carry on the conflict, a new realization of the enormous cost and waste of substance is brought vividly to view. Premier Asejuith yesterday repeated this performance, and the British ho'Jse of commons promptly accepted his figures and gave him what he asked for. He felt that he still needed a little over half a billion dollars to meet cur-

AN FN MUZZLED PIIFSS. (Columbus, O., Dispatch.) A gentleman who has been visiting in Europe for some time, recently returned to this country. He was asked when the war would end, as all returned tourists are asked, and he said, as nearly all others say, that he did'i't know. But he added a significant statement. He said that if the press of Europe were unmuzzled, and printed the truth, as the American papers are unmuzzled and print the truth, the war would end in a week. And we believe it an-1 tare be-

lived it all along. The newspapers of the warring nations can not print the facts concerning the war, because of the military censors, not because they do not want to do so. Occasionally an editor prints the truth, and the paper i at once suppressed and the people not allowed to read the truth. The other day a newspaper in Germany printed an article about peace told why Germany should sue for peace, and gave some details as to the suffering in Germany because of the war. But the whole Issue was confiscated and destroyed and the editor sent to jail. About the same time an English newspaper told the truth of the failure of the Hrit sh army, and criticised the management of the war department. It also commented up

on the suffering in parts of England ' because of th war. And as in Ger- !

many the issue was confiscated. t The people of Europe know nothing about the war not nearly as much as we know about it in this country'. They know their own sufferings. They see the country about them djing slov.-ly. They view the wrecks of men who are hauled back front the front, and they see the mounds of earth everywhere in evidence. They feel the pangs of hunger, and they know the shortage of food and clothing, and they have to pay exorbitant prices for everything they purchase. But they do not know anything about the progress of war. The people of all the warring nations are told from day to day that the end Is near, that victory is certain, that they have but a few days or a few weeks more of suffering before them, and that the victory' will he worth waiting for. But there is no victory in sight for any of them, an l the editors of the newspapers know It.

T1IF YTTUDICT OF HISTORY. (St. Paul Dispatch.) History honor the patriots who, in time of crisis, have stood for American rights, American union or American humanity while tempests of criticism have roared about their heads. Our annals are rich in such instances. There was the angry muttering of Samuel Adams as he walked through the streets of Boston "both or none" the sign of his determination that the two British regiments in the city should be removed to the castle in the harbor. There wa the famous oration of Patrick Henry blazing to a climax with "Give me liberty or give me death." There was the immortal ietort of Thomas Pinkney, "Millions for defense but not one cent for tribute." And there was the storm that raged about Lincoln's hear. when he had to choose between the alternatives of war or disunion. Contemporaneous opinion questioned the wisdom, even the character of these men for the sentiments they uttered and the courses they chose. But history has no doubts. History thunders its applause and calls these men heroes. Now the question arises: What will history say of Woodrow Wilson, insisting on the right of Americans to travel on armed belligerent merchantmen without the menace of unwarned attack by Germany's submarines insisting on this right against the counsel of his own party in congress and against a determined outcry from the public? Will history honor Woodrow Wilson for his insistence on American rights? The reasons are inescapable that history will not. The United States is not a small struggling nation. Its independence is not in jeopardj. And the rights for which it contends do not involve great human principles. They are technicalities. The alternatives we confront are not a great war and the sacrifice

of a fundamental national right. If wo are to judge the situation by its

most ominous possibilities, the alter

natives are on tho one hand, a great

war, and, on the other, the ironing

out of a serious international diffi

culty from the spirit and viewpoint

of reason rather than from the spirit

and viewpoint of technicality.

Such, we believe,. will be the verdict of history on the Issues of this hour.

HOGS WOULDN'T EAT CORN. . '(Kansas City Star.). One of the strangest sights at the Kansas City stockyards in recent months was the arrival of six carloads of hogs from northern Louisiana, about 600 in all, that did not know- what corn was. Several bushels of corn were thrown into the pens where they were yarded and the hogs cracked a few grains, tried to extract a kernel and gave It up as a bad job. All the while aristocratic swine from the corn belt in adjoining pens were cracking and eating corn rapidly. Hearing the noise the southern hogs tried to discover the source of their food supply by looking through

the cracks in the fence. Salesmen and yardmen looking river the fence threw grains of corn into the air and let them fall amon? the hogs. They followed the sound to where the corn fell, but refused to accept it as food. The hogs were of the razorback type, with heads as long as the rest of the body." Some had long, tusk-like teeth that had been worn into grooves by cracking nuts. These hogs were shipped from northern Louisiana to Kansas City. The small amount of fat they carried was gained by eating nuts, roots and leaves or mast. They ranged in weight from 90 t: 173 pounds. The prices paid for them were i& to ?8.30r This class of hogs i.s said to make an excellent kind of lean bacon.
