Ilaaklns for Health, THE JAPANESE IT IS difficult for any sane or reasonable person io con nect the military maneuvers along the Mexican border with probable war between Japan and the United States. There is not the slightest reason or pretext for a clash between America and Japan. ly friendlv. Both have just ratified a new treaty giving Roguo Rivcr Cana) company An e'ach the benefit of "favored nation" treatment. p ... . . . no The .jingoes are busy conjuring up all sorts of absurd stories to manufacture' war sentiment against Japan. Every pretext is utilized to justify bigger army and navy appropriations. The Japs are blamed for everything that happens and most things that do not and cannot happen. There is, so far as can be ascertained by closest observa tion, no knowledge on the part of anyone of Japanese plots, no suspicion amongst those in authority that such plots exist, no reason of tiny kind to suppose that Japan de sires anything but friendly relations with America. This being the case, unfounded, yellow, sensational surmises and stories are making us the laughing stock of the world. The idea of an Asiatic invasion of America in the immediate future is a grotesque aberration, an illogi cal absurdity. Korea, jManchuria and China will absorb all the ener gies and capital and territorial aggrandizement efforts of the island empire for many years to come. Japan could not finance a first-class war without America's assist ance. It would be a physical impossibility to transport an army of invasion across the Pacific, and still more im possible to supply arms and ammunition, food and supplies after landing. Invasion by Japan would spoil destruction, for, as Von Moltke once said, he knew a thousand ways of getting tin invading army into England, but not a single way of getting it out. OUR UNPREPARED ARMY. PA liT of the insanity of civilization is the supposed need of standing armies and navies the maintenance of which spell national bankruptcy. In spite of millions spent annually in maintaining the army, we are periodically informed that the army we have been keeping is untrained, less. A short while ago the army had one of its periodic "reorganizations." A former horse doctor, without mil itary training, who happened to be a crony of the then president of the United States, was elevated to the rank ol eommandor-in-chiel, winch What has he done to improve 10 very little while a "reorganization" is effected, and uniforms changed in color and new style of headgear adopted. Then when everyone in the service is garbed according to the latest imitation of an imperial soldier, it is time for another "reorganization," and more new clothes. We are spending $100,000,000 a year on pur military establishment, yet we have not a single commanding offi cer who hits even attempted to handle a single division in the field. We keep the troops scattered at small posts. busy taking care of the buildings, and neither officers nor men receive proper training. Ollicers in command ol ar tillery regiments have never maneuvered a single battal ion ol held guns. No wonder war always finds (he United States un prepared, and no wonder President Taft has determined to give the army a little maneuvering and tin officer a chance, for once in his life, Io see a division assembled. I f we must have tin army, it ought to be an effective one, and not a joke or it should be abandoned. CROWDS FLOCK TO northwest! Two Thousand Colonists at Portland.)

UNIVERSITY RECORDS OF HIGH SCHOOLS INCOMPLETE The early university records of high schools in the' state have proven to be incomplete, sd that two or three towns that early established high schools and made many sacrifices to maintain them when secondary edu cation did not have its present ogue have suffered an injustice in (hi printing of a recent news story giv ing h synopsis of high school devel opment in Oregon,, It is now known that both Maker (City and Ashlund established high s;)iool in 1S1KI, and both towns claim to hue had the sec-' ond high school in the slate, Port land having the lirst in lHliS. It j also known that Tho Dalles early 11 the nineties sent students to the uni versity who were duly graduated. The Press Hulletin suggests that each high school in I lie state lile with the university a statement of the year nnd mouth of its establishment This will give a permanent uud ae curate record, which will be valuable in tho future, when a thousand cilie 111 Oregon will each look with just pride upon the efficiency nnd stand ing of itn high school whereas now 1 .1 much smaller number can boast tin possession.
