Tk Ureatrr Interni. German legislators continue to agitate measures aimed at Ameri can industrial supremacy, and in their debates they make no secret of their dread of American power. Wednesday this hostility took the form of a bill to increase the larif UDon American refined petroleum which was voted in the face of wise counsel to the contrary. Ycste idav it appeared in a proposition by Baron Heylzu Hermsheim to have the Government denounce the "most favored nation" treaties especially with America. Herr Bernstein, socialist, pointed out that such action would renof to the injury of Germany, but aerari.in member declared the United States is more interested in maintaining trade relations than" Germany. As a matter of fact, the United States buys com paratively little from Germany and we believe can find markets elsewhere for all products that Germany is not compelled to buy from us, regardless of duties, of duties. Germany is not a self- mipportina nation. The United States has plenty for its own peo ple and to spare and goes abroad only far luxuries. Pittsburg "Ga zette." Oregon Timber la la Deaaaud. The most attractive feature about Oregon to the eastern home seekers coming here at present seems to be our timber resources. Harry Foster, who is now located in southern Oregon, says that almost every available acre of tim ber land in that portion of the state, and especially in the neigh borhood of Grant's Pass, has been taken up recently. Investors are even locating timber 41 and 50 miles from the raildway. He-says it is realized that in a few short years even the boundless resources of the timber belts of Oregon and Washington will be on the retired list. A tremendous impetus has been given to the business during the paet year and hundreds of new sawmills have been put in motion all through the timber belts on both states. At the present rate of consumption, including the de mand from China and Japan, as well as our own eastern states, the price of stumpage and timber tracts wiirmaterially advance in a short time. Automobiles and Pedeatrlana A young man ran down an old woman with his automobile in New York Monday, inflicting prob ably fatal injuries, and might have been rudely it not fatally handled by indignant bystanders except that policemen were on hand to protect him and hustle him off to a place of safety. The telegraphic story of the incident does not indi- cate the extent or degree of his carelessness or negligence, but it may safely be assumed that he was careless and therefore should suffer a severe penalty. Automobiles must have a right to use city stieets, but their owners and driv ers must also be held accountable for such accidents. The rule should be that automobilists look but where they are going, and ex cept in the case of grosB careless ness on the part of the injured persons must be held responsible for injuries inflicted. This old woman may have been slow, but the driver of the vehicle should have counted on that, and reason ed, in time, that it was not only natural but proper for an old woman to move slowly. Or before he ran upon her on turning a sharp corner, he should have calcu lated that an old woman might be slowly crossing the street that he was wheeling into, or thut a child might suddenly dart athwart the path of his rushing machine. In brief, while automobilists are to be given due rights and privileges on thoroughfares, they must also be held to accountability in such cases. It is for them to beware of the presence of pedetterians ah2: d of them, rather than for pedestrians properly crossing a street to keep watch in all directions for Fcorch ing vehicles. Telegram. Miss Lena Hurley, who says she is the daughter of the Postmaster General of the Island of llarba does, has been excluded Irom land ing in this country, not for lack of money, but becjuse she is almost totally blind and without friends or acquaintances here.
