WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1917 GERMANY AND PROTECTION. On May 2, 1879, Bismarck, the Empire Builder, said in his speech before the relchstag: "One thing is clear, that, through the widely open doors of Its import trade the Ger man market has become the mere storage space for the over-production of other countries. We must, therefore, shut our gates and. take care that the German marxet, wmcu in now tbelne monopolized by foreign wares, shall be reserved for native industry. Countries which are en closed have become great, and those which have remained open have fall en 'behind. The question before us is not a political, but a financial one, and we should put all personal sen sibility behind." On July 7 of that year the reichstag, by a vote of i to 117 passed a protective tariff bill, and to the protective policy nas uer manv adhered since that time. In 1878 Germany's Import of in dustrial articles alone was 570 mil lion marks. The year following the introduction of the now tariu the import of these articles totaled 395 million marks, a reduction of 31 per cent, while for the same period in dustrial exports rose from 1,026 to 1,368 millions, an increase of 34 per cent. In 1880 the United States im ported $52,000,000 worth of all kinds of goods from Germany, and so rapidly did industrial Germany develop under protection mat it years later, in 1914, our imports from that country had grown to $190,- 000,000 mainly manufactured ar ticles. At the same time Germany had been extending her commerce in a still more marked degree through out the world. She had reached a dominating position in South Amerl- ca, and she was raising havoc even in the home marker, of free-trade Eng land, whom Bhe had grievously crip pled in foreign and colonial trade. America under the republican tar iff policy set the example for Ger many. The democratic policy makes no appeal to her. The allies have learned many things from Germany In the waging of this war. Through out all history the conqueror has learned many useful things from the conquered. Some of toe tactics used by the kaiser do not meet the ap proval of the allies even by way of reprisal. Some of Germany's trade trickeries will not be countenanced by the allies, while It remains to be seen whether our Webb bill will give birth to something resembling the pernicious cartel system of Germany. , This much, however, is certain: Ger many's tariff policy has appealed to the allied powers and they have al ready taken precautions to insure post-war industrial development through the Instrumentality of pro tective tariffs and international co operation. America, under democrat ic rule, still lags, and would wait until the establishment of peace be fore acting. That we must return to the republican policy is a foregone conclusion; that we should do so be fore peace is declared is as certain as that we should have made use of two years and a half to arm for war; and that the republican party is n:cst capable of drafting protective legis lation has been proved time and s again. The heart of the party is In it, the brains of the party are be hind It. THE CHILI THAT LAGS. In trying to cure the case of a child that lags behind the average of his age, we should never tag or label him with his deficiency, put him, so to speak, in the dunce's corner; let us remember that almost invariably there is a cause, says Miriam Finn Scott in Good Housekeeping. la' means that, both analytically and constructively, we must do Individual work with every child. We must not measure htm by any common stand ards. Above ail, we must not apply to him the cold. Inhuman, scientific educational tests which more often than not cause a child to react ab normally because of the unsocial pnnrllrlnnn. nn fm-nlem cnmnared to the child's everyday life, under which the tests are made. - , In trying to remedy the weak ness of a child we must particularly bear in mind three points: First, to study and work with the child as an Individual. Second,' in establishing new habits, work with him only a brief period at a time; otherwise he will get tired and fatigue will wipe out the new and helpful Impressions. Third, our work must be centered .upon the particular deficiency or weakness we wish to correct. Above all else, bygones must remain by gones; misdeeds of the past must not be alluded to. The soul of our effort must be to bring a new, sympathetic, constructive stimulant Into the child's life, which will establish new and good habits in him and through practice and repetition establish them so positively and firmly, that they will displace old habits and faults and weaknesses, so that even tually the renewed and happy child will lose all memory of ever- having been anytning else. Those more or less excellent peo ple who want an inconclusive peace are the exact mental replicas of the fellow who cut off the pup's tail an inch at a time in order to be humane. Fashions change in music as In other things. No concert program however, classical in its standards, is now considered complete without "The Star Spangled Banner." Anybody who assumes leadership in Petrograd must expect some nihil ist to take an occasional shot at him. Such experience is a time-honored perquisite of the position. If your wife spends her day, or part of it, in working for the Red Cross, don't for God's sake, jump on her and the dinner. THE SAMMY LADDIES. Oh, where, tell me where did your Sammy laddies go? Oh, where, tell me where did your Sammy laaclies go r They sailed away to France, And until they are victorious they'll not return, 1 Know. 1 1 Oh, why,' tell me why did your Sammy laddies go? Oh, why, tell me why did your Sammy laddies go? They went to fight for freedom, And their dear old U. S. A., And I bid them God speed for 1 could not bid them stay. Oh, when, tell me when will your Sammy lads return? Oh, when, tell me when will your Sammy lads return? When this cruel war is over. And peace eternal reigns; Then beneath the Stars and Stripes proudly they'll return again. Suppose, Oh suppose, that your Sammy lads should die! Suppose, On suppose that your Sammy lads should die! Then taps would softly play. As they laid them there to rest, And my heart with pride and grief would fill my aching breast. Mrs, I. M. Cunningham, Dixon vlllo, Oregon. JETTY TO BE BUILT OF WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The sec retary of war today approved and sent to congress a report of the army engineers recommending the con struction of a north jetty at the en trance to the Umpqua river at a to tal cost of $553,000 on condition that the port raise half the cost of the impi-ovenient. This is the first Oregon project to be favorably reported in more than a year. The local engineer in recommend ing this improvement showed that tributary to the Umpqua is some 60,000,000 feet of marketable fir and large quantities of smalls pruce suit able for pulp, and this, to be 'moved economically requires deeper water over the bar. The local engineer estimated that two jetties at the mouth of the river would cost $981, 000, and to dredge a channel 16 feet deep to Reedsport would cost $57, 200. He concluded that at this time onlv the north jetty should be built; .;.to. if necessary, the south jetty ,-rn be authorized. Present com iueice, he held, does not justify deep ening the channel to Reedsport. The port has already raised $200, 000 by bond issue, and will be re quired to raise only $76,000 addi tional to get the north jetty if con gress approves the recommendation made today. POLITICAL A GREAT BATTLE IN OREGON 1918 Elections of Greatest Importance to the People Of This State. FREAKSANDMOSSBACKS Necessary to Ileut Half Baked Poli ticians and Men Whose Pei'sonnl Ambition is Only Reason for Being: In the Legislature. First Authentic Showing Spring Apparel SUITS, COATS DRESSES, SKIRTS 'NOW READY "S. BELLOWS The following article from one of Oregon's 'progressive business men, tells some wholesome truths that may well oe considered by voters. It is suggested that the electorate take a hand In the matter from a thought ful, interested viewpoint, and lift the splendid state from the . rut into which it has apparently fallen in re spect to freak legislation. The writer says: ASTORIA, Feb. 5. The next great political luattie win oe rougnti in Oregon. It will be a battle of deep est concern to every man, woman and child in the state. It will be a bat tle that will effect the development of our rsources and industries; it will be a determining battle and the re sult will decide whether the state of Oregon shall take that proper post tion in the great family of states Jp which its tremendous physical and natural resources, as well as latent initiative and capacity entitle it, or whether it shall continue to be out distanced in the procession of pro gress that is constantly growing on the Pacific coast. Vital issues will be Involved, and If the future welfare of our state is to be assured it will be necessary for us to take a deeper and more active Interest, not only in the issues that are to be placed be fore us, but in the men whom we are to elect to solve them, it is there fore imperative that we consider the election of our state senators and representatives with more than the passive indifference that has charac terized our elections in the past. Ore gon, through its misrepresentation has established for itself a reputa tion as an experimental station for all sorts of freak legislation from coast to coast. Laws essential to our eco nomic expansion have been carefully and adroitly avoided, while so many needless, useless and throttling laws have been enacted that it would take a miracle to save our state from ut ter stagnation If they were all en forced. Inefficiency, timidity and undesirable Influences have strangl ed the efforts of the progressive ele ments of our legislature and have re tarded our growth and hampered ou progress. Our legislative halls have been filled with young lawyers con cerned more with their personal am bitions and the establishment of rep utations, than with the welfare and requirements of the state. Men in capable of managing an enterprise requiring even mediocre executive ability have been delegated by our voters to manage the affairs of the Btate, and they have been moulding our destiny, not with a due regard for our commercial and industrial expansion, but in that narrow, limit ed manner that always accompanies personal and selfish motives. Of course, here and there we have elect ed a few good business men and broad visioned representatives, who have dono exceptional work in the way of initiating -good, constructive legislation but their efforts have been nullified by the tide of "moss backism" that has kept the state of Oregon behind her sister states in the past, and it is time corrective measures were adopted. J suggest,' therefore, that public spirited citizens of every county in Oregon, and every commercial club and civic organization interest them selves in the vital issues that are now more than ever confronting us, ana see ir we cannot by discriminat ing effort elect representatives who will not hesitate to legislate, not up on immaterial problems, but upon questions pertaining clearly to the welfare and development of the state and its resources. Let us select men who are not afraid to come out in favor of definite, constructive poli cies and let us compel them to com mit themselves in advance. Let us, tnis year, concern ourselves with Is sues rather than personalities and see if .we cannot by concerted and forceful action free Oregon from the rut she has been relegated to by the political legislation that has been heaped upon her in the past. Never has there been a grander opoprtun ity for state betterment and never has there been a more propitious season for beneficient changes. If we all put our shoulders to the wheel the next primaries should produce candidates that will make the next session of our state legislature the turning point in our history and it is our plain duty to do so. For if we fail this year to elect men whose backbones are strong enough to sup port tneir consciences we can not hope to secure that recognition from without that should long since have been ours. The issue is squarely up to the individual. "THE WOMAX GOD FORGOT."
