MATER lAIi PROSPERITY.
Vice-President Marshall says that he is not so much in
tcrestcd in our material prosperity as he is in our spiritual
welfare.
The Observer is interested in both. We believe that the
welfare of the people at large demands that business he
looked after, conserved and protected,
i' Who will pay the wages, keep the hives of industry go
ing if it is not?
Just now here is what Oregon needs:
A kindly and fostering spirit from the United States
Government and Congress toward our great lumber in
dustry. The lumber industry needs cars to fill its orders, it
must not be included in any embargoes.
The shipbuilding industry on the Pacific Coast needs
the right to go ahead and develop without arbitrary re
strictions from the Pcdoral Shipping Hoard. If the latter
will not build wooden ships, or permit us to build wooden
ships for them, we should be allowed to build them for the
allies or other neutral nations, without risk of their being
commandeered by the United States Government. The
dog-in-the-manger policy will not buld up a great industry
that should be our strength and mainstay after the great
war is over.
The needs of shipping on the Pacific Coast should not be
neglected. The American flag, instead of only the Japan
ese flag, should fly on the Pacific Coast. Trade should be
resumed between the United States and the Orient. Small
earners should be built in order to handle this trade, so
that it will not be lost forever. The embargo on lumber
shipping from the Pacific Coast to foreign ports should
be removed.
The Panama Canal should not be idle.
The United States Congress should adopt Senator

German Peace.
For peace that's made in
Germany the allies do not
care; it would be cheap and
verminy, not warranted to
wear. The peace the Kaiser's
pondering, and planning with
a gun, would surely fade in
laundering, 1lie colors all
would run. This war! The
world is hating it, but peace
would be more punk, with Germany dictating
it, and handing out the bunk. The allies are
much wiser dumb, and wielding sword and
creese, than arguing with Kaiscrdoni about
the terms of peace. W hen peace again is giv
fii us, and people know repose, and war's red
dog. thats' driven us, back to its kennel goes,
that peace must be no platitude, no phrases
neatly turned, of wide and yielding latitude,
to be ignored or spurned. No paper written
gaudily, whose terms mav be withstood, no
fal rie woven shoddily, or "something just as
good." When gentle peace has come again,
it must have come to stay: no king shall make
things bum again by starting up a fray. The
peace that comes from Germany would last till
Kaiser Rill should once again determine he
was strong enough to kill.

The Observer feels that because Oregon is far distant
From the seal of ( lovcriiment that its interests should not
be neglected at Washington, that the bureaucrats at
Washington should not sit down upon everything that Or-
egon wants.
j The Observer believes that it is the duty of all our
statesmen to sec that our National business lite is stimu
lated and not curbed, that our industries are made pros
perous and not squelched, that certain industries should
not be favored at the expense of others, that the business
men be helped and not hampered.

Senator r'ri'deriekl lale. of Maine, believes that the peo
ple of the country should be made to understand thorough
ly the fact that our form of government is at stake in this
war as well as the democracies of Europe, lie holds to
the view that too much stress has been laid on the state
mint that we are in the war to bring deniocracv to th
mid, and that we have not been sufficiently told that the
democracy of the United States is in peril. Mr. Hale con
( e.les that the President's addresses to Congress and his
reply to the Pope were great world messages, "but," says
he, "the mother who sees her son go across the sea to J
fight, perhaps never to return, wants a more immediate'
reason to justify his sacrilice than the insuring of democ
racy to the nations of Uurope."
This is true. This is a war of self-defense. Germany
was the aggressor. We are fighting to defend our own
free institutions, our own shores from ravages and con
quest. Who can doubt what Germain- would do if she
conquered Italy, Prance and England?'
