EUGENE PAPERS AND THE GOVERNOR. The Eugene papers are just now engaged in a vindicative fight on Governor West and yet he is the best friend that city ever had in the executive chair of the state. During the troublous times through which the state university has passed in the last four years the governor has stood firmly by the state university, because he is a strong believer in educational institutions, and more to his influence than anything was the passage of the university appropriations at the special referendum election a year ago.

The governor's reward for his stand seems to be only a personal attack on his motives in supporting Chamberlain and Smith in the present campaign. Everything in the university town, so far as its newspapers are concerned, is subordinated to the effort to elect Booth to the United States senate, and those opposed to his ambitions are branded as dishonest and untruthful. Evidently the papers there has a substantial reason for holding one man's ambitions higher than any other interest of the community, although the good logic of the position taken is not apparent to those who feel that a community like Eugene, which has so often appealed for outside assistance in its time of need, owes somewhat of a debt of gr atitude to those who have responded to such appeals. Governor West certainly has reason to feel that his friendship for the institution at Eugene and the community in which it is located has not been appreciated by those who were its beneficiaries. What a different tone will pervade the editorial col-: umns of some of the rabidly partisan papers when the election is over and we all get down to the business of boost-! ing Oregon up another notch or two.

London's crime records show a remarkable falling off in crime in the big city. Evidently the crooks have gone to the front, or so many others have that there are none left to plunder. I The English parliament has voted another war budget, the fifth of that size since the war started 87 days ago. In another week it will be all over but the shouting, and there will probably be no large amount of that. sc sc jJc )c sJc sc )c sc i(c sc s)t sc sfc I THE ROUND-UP Of milking officers there it no eml.

(Ashland Tidings, Republican) Should Dr. Withyeombe and a re-; publican legislature be elected Nov-! ember 3 there can be no doubt but that the Oregon system is doomed. The republican machine is everlastingly opposed to the Oregon system and popular rule. It wants the same obi corrupt machine methods that prevailed in the i past.

Never was a candidate more in! harmony or more completely dominated! by a political machine than Dr. Withy-1 combe. He is now, and will 'be, a responsive and subservient tool in its' hands. Nothing ould give the doctor I more glee and the machine more glad-i ness than to sign the doom of the Ore-j gon system. Neither have gotten on well under it.

While each has used its greatest leaders to prepare the copy for the American printer and public, an American artist, Leyen-decker, has told the most graphic and probably the most truthful story of them all on the front page of the October 21 number. It is a picture composed of three subjects A woman, a little girl and a Red Cross letter. Simple in detail, it is one of the most affecting pictures seen in any American magazine or ay where else in years. He is indeed an artist who can tell so much with a few strokes of his brush. There is no use trying to tell of it, it has to be seen, but it surely is worth laying away as a memento of the greatest and wickedest war the world has ever known.

That was some battle near Dunkirk Saturday. The dispatches say the Zeppelins rained explosives from the skies, while the submarines sent their torpedoes under the water in search of British ships, the big guns poured their tons of projectiles at the "enemy" on land, and similar guns belched death and destruction from the great battleships. If Sherman's description of war as "hell" was correct, surely this especial battle was "hell under forced blast." Now is the time to start a movement toward securing a lot of skilled workmen in flax products, who have been driven from their homes in Belgium. Flax products will some day supply the great manufacturing industry of this section, and if we could induce lot of flax growers as well as skilled workmen in the bundling of its fibers to locate here, we will have taken a long step toward getting the industry on its feet. Of course there will be a difference of opinion as to the West-Booth debate.

It can hardly be expected a jury will agree which is composed of persons who had previously made up their minds about a matter and were about evenly divided as to the rights of the case. The dispatches Saturday stated the German troops were now wearing Ik-lgnitn uniiorms, wnicn was uiKen 10 be a declaration that Germany had "benevolently assimilated" that country. It remains to be seen whether it can (iigest it. It does not want to be overlooked that candidates should be elected for their ability to do tlie peoples work efficiently, and this applies with particular force to the law-makers from the U. S.
