These men who have built and still are building up the great state of Oregon find in KoKcburg a spirit of good will and good (dicer. Ifoselmrg is proud to have the (1 rangers with her for the week. The Orange is one of the most important factors Working for the advancement and develop 'nient of this state. Jts importance should not he underestimated. Tt works quietly, does not proclaim loudly all that it does nor does it work along hard and fast lines. There is more real urogressiveness among the farmers of the state than in many other lines of activity. The farmer is here; to' make the most of his land. He works it along the lines that the land is best adapted to work, .lie studies soil conditions, lie studies cli matic conditions. He is apt to take the short course at the agricultural college. In fact he prepares himself so that lie ran safe ly cultivate his land to the best advantage and with knowledge in advance that that which he is is doing will develope properlv There is little quess work about his labors. ()l course, he cannot forecast the future. He cannot predict a drougth. lie is unable to cope with a heavy hail, rain or wind storm that will damage his product. But these' conditions, or ones similar in .effect, every worker in every walk of life, must encounter. The average farmer or O ranger of today is a hard-working, studious, am bitious man who is laboring not only that he may reap success for himself but that through his efforts he may help the com munity of which he is a part and see it de velop. The discussions that will take place at the meeting of the Oregon State Orange in session here this week will be of great benefit to the state at large and especially case'of war. France has' 1,370,000, Great ig Britain has 739,000 Japan has 610,00 Owhile; the United. States trails along behind with 1 only 195,000. But those who make the cry : of danger in ease of war fail to take into i consideration that the wars of the future : will be fought on the high seas or in the sky. Furthermore, the United States is in 1 no danger of invasion by a hostile army. An ; invading army must get into the country be- i fore it can do any harm. . Where could it ! land. Surely it could not pass the port at New York. It could not land at any point j on our coast, Atlantic or Pacific. They could ! scarcely land in Canada and go overland; and attack our farm lands. Mexico would offer no great landing point. In fact, the j danger of a foreign power invading our land j and attacking us successfully is a danger! that exists only in the imagination of over-1 patriotic orators. The United States with its; army of 195,000 is as safe from foreign in-i vasion as though every man, woman and child were armed and ready for active duty I at a moment's call. ! n3 to every community that is represented here l)V delegates.

We are not inclined to do any betting, but if we were to do so we would bet that either a little short fellow with pompador hair, or a-man with glasses and prominent teeth or a big fat man with a smile will receive the endorsement for president. Singh; Tax will get a death blow from the Grangers here this week. They know what they are abo::-t when they take a poke at this inadequate and nefarious system of taxa tion. You can't fool the -thinking class of the people on such a proposition as single tax. There are many beautiful things in life. 15ut the perfection of beauty at this t ime of the year is a great big, ripe, red, juicy straw berry and many more of them. They will be at the Roseburg Strawberry Carnival, the last three davs of this week. wishes sion. for a successful and beneficial ses- U. S. MILITARY STRENGTH. The military strength of the United States is ever a fruitful topic of discussion. When congress hasn't anything else to talk .about it makes a big noise about the inade quate military strength of our nation and goes into hysterics about what Japan, Ger many or any one of several other nations could do to us if war'should break out.
