Sherry's Today and Tomorrow.
The ordeal of fire faces William
Furnum in his latest photoplay for
William Fox, "Fires of Conscience."
He finds almost insuperable difficulties
in his battle for the love of a girl.
Ho wages two fights, one against him
self, and tho other against his ene
mies. In the end he is triumphant
and happy.
The story begins when George
Baxter (Mr. Fainum) brings home
-his wife, Margery (Gladys Brock
well). She was a college girl, whom
George had seen once, fallen in love
with, and married. George's father,
Robert Baxter (II. A. Barrows) chief
of the city police, welcomes the girl
into his family.
All goes well until Paul Sneed, a
neighbor, (Henry J. Hebert), returns
to the city. He hud known Margery
before her marriage. When George
returns homo unexpectedly, late one
night, he finds Paul in the room with
his wife. The intruder runs from the
house. George follows, and shoots
him. Paul fulls dead on the .street.
Only Margery Baxter and Paul's
father, Judge Randolph Sneed (Wil
liam Ifurress) have been witnesses of
the tragedy.
George, half crazed by the impul
siveness which had led him to murder,
leaves tho city. Scarcely knowing
what he is doing, he takes a train for
the West. In Arizona, he makes his
homo in a mining camp. Meanwhile,
his wife has committed suicide.
At tho camp, George meets there
Nell Blythc, a good woman who gains
her living by singing in the miners'
dance-halls. Nell realizes that soma
influence of which she is ignorant is
spoiling the lifo of the big man whom
the miners idolize. She begs him to
go back East and face out the trou
blo that is worrying him. Impelled
by her faith, lie returns to the East.
In tho trial which follows, Randolph
Sneed sits in judgment on the mur
derer of his son. But he realizes the
worthlessness of Paul, and at the end
of the trial, he rises in his seat, ad
vances toward the jury, and says:
"God help me, gentlemen 01 tne
jury. As he is my judge, and as I
hope for mercy at his judgment seat,
'I am the only, living eye witness to
the death of Paul Sneed. I must in
struct you that this is a case of the
'unwritten law,' and that the pris
oner be found not guilty."
Then George, his heart light, and
his soul purged, returns to the W3t.
Ho asks Nell to be his wife, ibut she
says s-ho would only interfere with
his future success.

A POSSIBLE AFTERMATH OK
THE WAR.
La Grande, Iec. 7. (To the Edi
tor.) Dr. Hugo Munstorberg, pro
fessor of psychology at Harvard, has
recently published a noteworthy book,
entitled "Tomorrow: Letters to a
! Friend in Germany." The "Tomorrow"
refers to the morrow of pcr.ee after
the war.
The following extract from a re
view of the book in last Sunday's Ore
gonian gives some idea of his inter
esting speculations as to the read
justments, which will follow. As Dr
Munsterberg is a German, and the ar
dent champion of his nntive country's
cause, what he says is all the more
striking, especially concerning the
restoration of Belgium, and possibly
Alsace-Lorraine.
Our author writes with modera
tion, as if he expected peace to be
declared soon, and thinks thnt we
ought to get ready to tackle the new
international social problems that may
arise. He argues: "Japan, as soon as
it is supported by Russia, becomes an
antagonist to the historic tasks of the
United Stales. It must seek not only
the control of the Philippines, but of
the Pacific. Mexico would be Japan's
natural ally. America can meet this
-danger, only by some kind of under
standing with Great Britian. England
and America will balance Russia,
1 Japan and Mexico. A prophecy which
j goes up to this point seeni3 pretty
safe, as the psychology of the situa-
I tion simply demands this grouping.
Germany will have to join the one or
the other party: Germany will com
, bino with Russia, or with Englrnd.
j "If the three great Teutonic nations
enter into a practical union, the peace
; of the world is secure for children and
children's children. Great Britian's
I navy, Germany's army and America's
! economic power, nay, Great Britian's
i colonizing genius, Germtiny's thor-'
' oughncss nnd America's energetic
optimism, will make an invincible
i team. With Germany on the English
j side, Russia could never attack India.
"British-German understanding
I would promise long, unbroken peace.
Germans, English and, alas! Ameri
cans will have to forget much which
has set their blood boiling. Mistakes
have been made on nil aides, and have
been sincerely regretted on all sides.
Sober statesmen must replace senti
mentality and hatred,
i "The whole of Belgium must go
back to the Belgians. Germany must
find an outlet in the fields of colon
ial activity. It may be that France will
receive back all the lost European ter
ritory, and that in exchange Germany
will get a part of Morocco and of
the French" Congo."
j The picture ho draws is an alluring
' one, and not beyond the bounds of
possibility. The thoughtful English
men feel thnt this conflict against
the German is an unnatural one, as
much so as his alliance with Russia
is illotrical. After the present eruption
has subsided nnd sober reason restor
ed, the German nnd British nations
will evcntunlly be drawn together by
srbtlo forces, too strong to be perma
nently resisted. Even now the English
claim they are not primarily fiirhting
tie German people but the military
clique which has subjugated them to
t a vicious ideal. The' most interesting
nnd important history of the war
' will probably never be written. For
this will require collaboration of the
prophet nnd the psychologist nnd will
not deal with military operations.
but with those undrrlyimr, opposing,
sniritunl, mornl nnd psychological in
fluences, of which the awful carnage,
the destruction of life and property,
'are the outwnrd vNSMp sierra.

Come In And Let Me Tell You About My
New Farm Loan
A 20 Year Amortized Rural Credit Loan
No Commission No Renewals
TO UNION COUNTY FARMERS:-
For several years I have been working and
planning for easier money to loan on good old Grand
Ronde farm lands.
Finally I have arranged with one of the largest
loaning companies (a company that has $85,000,000
loaned to the farmers of the West) for a real Rural
Credit loan based on a 20-year amortized plan. 20
equal payments of but little more than current in
terest pays off your entire debt.
You pay no commissions, choose your own date
of payment and pay at your own bank. You can pay
any amount of your loan at any time- This plan
figures you a saving of nearly 3 per cent over the
usual farm loan made heretofore in this county. If
interested call and let me explain fully.
