Aa to International friendship, there
can be no compariaon between Ger
many and England In relation to thl
country. Germany Is neighbor far
beyond the aea. and we have never
been brought Inlo Intimate relation
Ith her. Hrltlsh territory lies for
over three thousand milea along our
boundry, and our life history as a na
tlon has been inextricably Interwoven
with her. Had Germany, or Russia
or Funce tor mat matter, ownw
Canada, with their system of military
conscription, would we have three
thousand milea of boundry without
slnglo fort, or a single soldier? Hud
Germany owned Cannds we would be
compelled to keep a standing army
that would satisfy even the warlike
aspirations of the Morning Orcgonlnn
When this was but a colony Frsree
had Its chain of forts from Pu quosne
to the mouth of the Ohio, and the
land was a great armed camp. What
stronger evidence of friendship could

Again, Frederick, the Great was not
Germany. He was the benevolent old
nthclst who ruled Hrandenhcrg and
Prussia. He stole Silesia from his
royal neighbor, Marie Theresa of Aus
trla, and Polish Pomernnia from Po
land. England helped the Austrian
queen, and, not benevolent rrgnru lor
tho American colonics, but pleasure
that Ilritnln's ntteniUm was rallod
away from his ambitious plans by
their revolt, led to his congratulatory
words. Hut how nmny dollars or how
many men did he send to their assist

France, which sent us money, ships.
and in on; and thoso at homo in Hrtt
ain who opposed tho war. Pitt, Eng'
land's greatest statesman, died on the
floor of the house of parliament pro
testing agniiiBt the oppression by his
German soverolgn of tho American col
onists. Tho war was so unpopular
thut Bufflelont rocrulta could not be
obtained to enrry on It. So Gcorgo of
Hnnovor called In those benevolent
gentlemen, tho Hessians Germans if
you pleaso to holp him out on his
bad job. These were the almlable
gcntlomen whoso loving regard for the
Americans was reciprocated by Wash
Ington, who prepared for them tho lit
tie surprise pnrty at Trenton. At that
time Prussia was scarcely considered
Germnn. the Hosstans being much
more typically Gorman than they.
There Is some history connected there
with that I might give If necessary.
Put Frederick's encouragement of tho
colonists can not be quoted ns a sig
nal Instance of German friendship.
During the Civil war but one nation
stood bu us, namely Russia. France
and Austria sent Maximilian to Mex
ico, and endeavored to establish a lit
tle Europe there. At the close of the
war, France heeded the American pro
test and withdrew. - Maximilian was
shot, his "queen" went Insane, and
Austria was compelled by the force
of circumstances to back down. But
Russia, another of the allies, was our
friend, as France nad been In the rev
olution.
We have had boundry disputes, fish
eries disputes, and all kinds of mut
ters of neighborly difference, all cf
which have been settled In the most
friendly and fair spirit by Britain. In
fact we have had one hundred years
of unbroken frienship under tho clos
est of neighborly relations. This ev
ery thinking man will allow.

with England, what would occur? Her
colonic would irsnafrr tbvlr foreign
trade to th home land and her

tries outside the Hrltih empire IS"

Auatralla. 1&0 million; India, ISO mil
lion; Egypt, W million, and South Af
rica i million dollar worth of corn
alone. Tbla totals OS million dollar
worth of foodstuff being aold outside
the empire. Thl would make up our
paltry 153 million with over 4U0 mil
Hon dollar worth or foodaturr 10
pare. We would almply make bad
friend of our neareat neighbors, and
fool of ourselves; and have abso
lutely no effect upon the war. Mr.
Glnlher certainly did not look Into ac
dial condition belore making this ar
gument
Aa to our trade relations. In 1912 we
exported to the world $2,339,217,933
worth of mcrctmnJtae of all aorta. Of
that quantity ' Germany purchased
from us $33e.l50,S30 worth. Austria
bought to the valuo of S24.04S.325. This
made a total of $354,499,155 to the two
natlona. The same year we shipped
Russia good to the value of $26.09$..
France, $155,212,669; and Eng.
land (exclusive of the rest of the em.
plre), $606,974 967. and to Britain and
Its dependencies France and Russia to
gether we sold tho great total of $1
281,000,000. To all the world we only
sold $2,399,217,993 worth of goods.
Thus while the Teutons only take
about 15 per cent of our exports the
allies take something like 53 per cent,
Discrimination upon our part would
certainly lead to retaliation on their
part. If not to worse. hy should we
turn our back upon those who are our
near neighbors and friends of a nun
dred year standing, and who buy
nearly four times as much of our prod
ucts in times of peace? It would be
like a merchant kicking bis best cus
tomer out of his store because this
man and an occasional purchnsor got
Into a scrap, and the latter asked him
to do so.
Tho Americans love the Gcrniau
people. They are a religious, clean-
blooded race; the best stock In the
old world (except the Scotch). Hence
not antagonism to Germans, but the
feeling that the subject races of Eu
rope whose struggle for racial freedom
and autonomy Is the Immediate cause
of present war, ought to bo free; and
moral revolt at the ravishing of the
free nation of Uolglum against her
will Is responsible for American cold
ness towards the German cause. Ber
nardl's works, published before the
war, and the focussing of military rail
ways upon the poor territory on Bel
gium's boundry showed Belgium what
she might expect, and circumstances
showed that her . fears were not
groundless. Both American fair play,
and American interests are against a
ur with tho allies.
On the oilier hand, war, with Ger
many Is just as distasteful. The war
Is nono of our making. We have too
many good friends and neighbors
among the Gormun-Amerlciins to have
any heart to butcher their European
kinsmen. We have too much admira
tion for the German nation, which we
unhesitatingly recognize as tho great
est in Europe Some of my Immedi
ate kin are married to Germans, and I
love them as much as I do those kins
men themselves. I am as strongly op
posed to war with Germany as I am
to war with Britain. May God help
us to remain utterly neutral as a na
tion, then when the final settlement
comes may we be In a position where
e can sponk In no uncertain tones
against the robbing of either Ger
many or any of the allies, of territory
that is theirs of right; or of any ac
tion that will permanently or serious
ly cripple any of those great nations.

EXTREMELY DULL TONE
PORTIANn Oregon.. Feb. 25.
Extreme dullness Is showing In the
potato trade. Even the local market
which haa been far the best on the
roast to date. Is Inclined to show-
weakness. Shipping business is at a
completo standstill, some of the lead
Ing buyers reporting today that they
have not moved a carload for over
week.
This condition Is due seemingly to
the fact that Oregon potato growers
hnve entertained too high price Ideas
this season and have held the bulk of
their growth while Washington and
Idaho as well as Colorado and Cali
fornia have been selling.
A private advice received here to
day, from Los Angeles shows the gen
eral trend. The advice slates that
Idaho stock can bo landed thero at
$1.15 a cental. The freight rate from
Portland to Los Angeles Is 40c a cen
tnl; therefore the extreme price that
could be secured here for good ship
ping quality Is 75c and this leaves
nothing whatever for the buyer or
for his evpense of buying and handl
ing.

fied Chief Shaw of his loss. Mr. Er
sns left his horse tied tn the lower
part of town last Sunday while he
was on business. When he returned
he found It gone.
The police were notified and they

purpose. The horse failed to show

nized my horse and took It to my
barn."

Decline Is Traced To Liquor
McKinnon Promises to Reform
A companion piece to "John Barley-
corn, is the life history of Angus Mc
Kinnon, held in the county Jail .here
on a charge of giving liquor to Charles
Edward White, aged three years, on
the day of the child's death from acute
alcoholism.
As McKinnon brifely traced the prin
cipal events of his life in the county
jail, It was easy to see that whiskey
was the evil thnt hud conquered him
and robbed him of his rightful place
in lite. He was raised In Minneosta
the son of sturdy Scotch parents and
a member of a family of five boys.
He became a telegraph operator and
confined his work to news and brock
erage, the most difficult wire work. He
also picked up bookkeeping and Is an
expert accountant. During the last 15
years he had been on the Pacific coast
and worked In the principal cities, In
cluding Portland, San Francisco and
Seattle. His last position as a tele
graph operator with the Southern Pa
cific at Independence, three years ago.
McKinnon Is not talkative, particu
larly In speaking of his relatives. One
brother Is a well-to-do Chicago broker,
another Is an official of an Hawaiian
sugar plantation and tbe rest are scat
tered through the middle western.

states. The Chicago brother has come
to the rescue of Angus McKinnon.
After leaving Independence, McKin
non drifted down until he was em
ployed at Beaver Creek he was em
ployed as a mtllhand In the sawmill
of George Lammers. One Wednesday
morning early last month be was at
the home of Charles White and the
two men were emptying a bottle of
whiskey. White's three-year-old son
secured a drink and died from the ef
fects and the child's grandmother tes
tified that McKinnon gave the lad the
fatal drink at the coroner's Investiga
tion and McKinnon was arrested.
McKinnon now says that the trag
edy has been a lesson to him and that
he will stop drinking and return to
Chicago as soon as possible. He has
a clean face and his eyes brighten
when he speaks of the future: "I am
through with booze. It Is peculiar
how a man will drift away from his
line of work as I have done, but I will
return. I am going back to my brother
as soon as I can and leave whiskey
alone."
George C. Brownell has been re
tained as an attorney to represent McKinnon.
