Americans who have been over ready to credit any sort of tales con cerning Japanese designs against America should ponder the words b Viscount IhJiII, heud of tho mlkudo't special war mission. In his address U, tho Washington newspaper correa pond en ts. "For more than ten years," h said, "a propaganda has been onrried on In this country, In Japan, and iu fact, throughout tho world, for the one and solo purpose of keeping na tions of the fur east and far west ah faripart as possible; to break up ex isting treaties and understanding; to create distrust and suspicion and un kindly fueling between neighbors in the east and west, and all In otdei tlMit Uermany might secure advan tage in the contusion. "Tho world was flooded with talon of Japan's duplicity. Have them boen borne out by history? Kven now the (Icrman publicity -agent whispen llrst in your ears and then in mine To the accomiaulmeut ol appeals to tho human heart, ho tells to mi stories of your duplfoitq und to you of mine. These agents have been supplied with unlimited resources No wonder wo have been deceived,' In the light of our state depart ment's recent revelations regarding the pernicious activities or Herman representatives In this country, thb statement cannot be dismissed lightly. We know how llornslnrff. von Papen, Hoy-Kd and u host ol letter conspirators plotted to cripple our war-mnklng power and Isolate m diplomatically, bo that (icruiany could work her will. We know lhal this evil conspiracy reached back into the years preceding the war, when Prumdn was preparing to spring al the throat of civilization. It Is eas) to believe, even without the, damn ing evidence of I lie 551 in menu ann nolo to Mexico, that Cerinauy's plans Included tho Hotting of Japan and America by tho earn, to leave her a freer Held. As lor Japan's actual attitude lo ward this country, Viscount Ishil made a telling point when he reveal ed a bit of secret diplomatic history, inhuming his hearers that Japan had voluntarily released Cireat llrilnin from the strict terms or her alii nnco. In order I hat Hrltatn might en ter Into an arbitration Iruaty with tho Untied Stales. That very announcement vlvidh reminds us of Iho talk we used to hear from pro-tioriimn sources that Britain was our natural enemy, be cause Japan was our sworn foe. and Uritaln was tiedi to Japan. THOSK COMMON HOYS. "1 shouldn't mind having Jack en list," said bis mother, "If didn't know he'd be herded' right In with those common hoys." Then Hie draft came along and caught Jack, lie's out In a big cantonment. The woman by her utterance ad mitted her failure as a mother, h Jack at 22 was so weak a thing Dial his health couhl tie Injured, his ninr nls corrupted or bis peace of mind upset by association with other boys, somo of whom had been less expt'n slvolv roared than he,' his education had been n farce. If his mother had been really or line metal she would have taught Jack from his babyhood to recognize tfiio values when he saw them. lie would now ho strong, with tin attitude so wholesome that their . -r , , ' 1 Special Announcement!

And she would have thought of his association with the other lads with pleasure that Jack might have the opportunity, the broadening experience of knowing Intimately all types of men. "Those common boys' what are they? 8ona of the workers of the world whom Lincoln said the Lord nnifit have loved, because he made so many of them? If so, then Jack has much to learn from them. It she meant boys who were vulgar In word or deed they are always few. The many are clean, decent, admirable. And vulgarity springs from weak ness and tack of discipline. Army drill and the big spiritual experience of living near to death will soon burn all that out. As those common boys sons and brothers of all of us go marching by to entrain for their winter's work they look pretty line, well worthy the nation's pride. Rich, poor, high, low tho khaki Is a great leveller. And as for the Jacks of the coun try lucky for them the strong right arm of L'nclo Sam has removed them from the sickly atmosphere of such homes and put them among the dem ocratic ranks where they may be saved. NIK PltK'K OK OASOUNK. Casolino Is a standard commodity. It Is about as standard as anything could be. It should have a standard price. If anything should. We might naturally expect no more than a cent r two difference at any time, and that difference due to transportation charges. Yet wo read of gasoline selling at 25 cents a gallon In Oklahoma City, In the heart of a great producing re gion, ami at 'J I rents In ljen .Moines, la., far from tho oil Hold. We read, too. of gasoline selling pretty regu larly In Detroit at two to four cents a gallon less than in neighboring Cleveland, where there are great re llnorics, and whom gasoline may ho said to be Invented. Maybe a little regulation not by the Standard Oil Company, but by tho government would tie a good thing in Mils Industry, In his recent ready to the pope, President Wilson set forth America's object in the war thus: 'The object pies of I he world from the menace pies of tho world fro mthc menace power of a vast military establish ment controlled' by an irresponsible government which, having secret 1 planned to dominate the world, pro ceeding to carry the plan out without regard oil her to tho sacred oldiga I ions of treaty or I he long-established practices and Ion k-c her t shed princi ples of Internal lonal act ion and honor; which chose its own time for the war; delivered its blow liereely and Kiiilednly; stopped at no barrier cither of law or of mercy; swept a whole continent wit bin t he tide of blood, not the blood of soldiers only, hut the blood of Innocent women and children also, and of the helpless poor; and now stands balked but no) defeated, the enemy of f (HI i -lift hs ol the world."

Yoncalla Resident Gives His Views Concerning the Appointment. TO STOP FOOD WASTE Relieves The Agent Would Prove of Much lienetit to tho Farmers Generally in This County Shortage of Crops. Yoncalla, Ore., Oct. 4, 1917 Editor Evening News: Aa a subscriber to your paper and a farmer of Uouglas county, I take: tho liberty of writing u a letter ; for publication giving you the view-i pout ol the average farmer. I notice that The News along with the other papers of the country is urging the farmer to redoubled effort toward' in creasing the food supply and feeding the world. This past year Douglas county sutfered a decided crop short age. We not only fall short of feed ing ourselves but we even lack seed for reseeding. Just now the fanner is getting bis seed bed ready for his fall seeding and has no time to hunt the most suitable market for seed, both in price and) quality. Hunting this seed Is one of the jobs of a county agent. And let me say here that the man acting temporarily In that capacity has given us most valu able assistance in that line. Then again if wo were organized we could get this seed in quan tiles and at more reasonable prices. A county agent Is first and all the time an organizer. Hill Jones has 25 sacks of potatoes. If he sent them to a commission man and paid local freight. It would hard ly pay him to ship them. In fact the commission man would pay little attention to them. But if our county agent In looking over our community linds that besides Hill Jones 2.5 sacks there are my ten sacks and John Hrown's 15 sacks and even the Wid ow Smith's one sack, we can soon find enough for a car load ami ship together, save our freight and talk in cur load lots Instead of in sacks. Now without such an organizer most of those potatoes would have rotted in the bin and the rest gone as hog feed and Mr. noover would have been minus one car load of potatoes toward feeding the army. Now this is just one of hundreds of ways In which a county agent can Htop food wastes. Since the govern ment recognizes this and foots moat of the expense providing the county pays a third. I do not understand the opposition, of the county court. They may not be sharing in von Hernstorff's 'slush" fund, but they certainly cannot bo patriotic Ameri cans. If any county in this state needs a county auent to assist the farmer, that county is Douglas. If Doug la? county is to do her share to Increase the world's food supply and to feed our boys at tho front, we must have a county agriculturalist. Therefore it is up to every patriotic taxpayer of Douglas county to bear this in mind and express himself in favor of this item on the budget. Yours very truly, M. KLETZER. Miss Edith l'entney left this morn Inn for Kiddle where she will be employed in tho Riddle schools dur ing the year. DAILY WKATflEIt RETORT. U.
