International politics
While the habit of mind of Pres
ident Taft doesf not permit of him
being a politician in the ordinary ac
ceptance of the term, it is yet true
that as an international politician he
is acquiring world-wide fame. In no
part of his. work as the chief execu
tive of the nation does he show bet
ter than in conducting our affairs
through the intricate mazes of inter
national politics.
Business men know it, but not all
others, that the last few years have
been particularly delicate ones for
Americans in their relations with for
eign countries. The extraordinary
growth and expansion of the United
States have awakened world-wide
jealousy. The approching comple
tion of the Panama Canal, with the
attendant possibility that American
trade and commerce will be enhanced
thereby, has caused the governing
powers of other countries to give
close attention to the United States
with a view to giving her pause in
her progress. Many nations have
not been too conscientious to drop an
obstruction or two in her way.
United States Will
Fall as Rome Did
By GEORGE C. RICHARDSON, Member of the International
Apple Shippers' Association
CHE UNITED STATES IS IN DANGER OF DISINTEGRATION IN
THE SAME MANNER THAT CHARACTERIZED THE DOWN
FALL OF ROME AND FROM THE SAME CAUSES.
In no country is this condition more apparent and more
interesting than in the United States. What nation of the globe might
more easily be borne along by the marvelous abundance of its re
sources? Moreover, in no country of Europe are the WAILS OVER
COSTLINESS so loud and so common as in the United States.
Why ? Because in America the disproportion between the progress of
the field and that of the cities, between that of industries and that of
agriculture, is still greater than that in Europe.

An Insane World In Three
Hundred Years
By Dr. FORBES WINSLOW. American Alienist
o
HERE WILL BE MORE LUNATICS IN THE WORLD THAT)
SANE PEOPLE THREE HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.
Thi3 prophecy is based on the present rate of the growtl
of lunacy revealed by recent returns. We are EAPLDL1 -
APPROACHING A MAI) WORLD. In every part of the worJ.
civilization is advancing, and. so insanity is bound to advance.
THERE WERE 36,762 LUNATICS IN -1859; THERE ARE NOV
135.000. . .
cub
But somehow or other President
Taft has managed to steer the ship
of state in a manner to circumvent
their efforts. ' Our foreign trade con
tinues to grow, and expand. Our re
lations with other nations become
more and more friendly, save for the
temporary explosion in the British
mind due to misapprehension of the
terms of the Panama Canal bill. In
the pages of history his achievement8
in this regard will receive their due.
The instance of the Mexican situa
tion is particularly in point. There
has been every inducement for the
President to encourage action which
would bring on a war with the neigh
boring republic. No man familiar
with the conditions but knows how
easy it would be for the President
to plunge the nation into war which
easily could be made a popular one
and on the tide of which it would be
a trivial task for him to ride to re
election. Te petty politician would not hesi
tate a moment. It is not difficult for
the popular imagination! to vision a
president who would seize such an
opportunity as this with eagerness.
However, over and above the pure
ly selfish advantage to be gained
from such a war, a true patriot, charg
ed with power, must look to the ul
timate good of the nation. "The ques
tion presented to him is: Is it bet
ter for the United States to bring on
a war, or to avoid one? What would
a war accomplish? Politically, it is
on record that three men have reach
ed the presidency on war with Mex
ico, why not a fourth? But were we
to go to war with Mexico now, what
would be the outcome?
Editor Davey Now Favors Selling.
The Harney County News opposed
Ben Selling, progressive Republican
nominee for United States . Senator,
In the primary election, but is now
loyally supporting the Portland man.
In a recent issue. Editor Davey had
the following to say regarding the
progressiveness of Mr. Selling:
"No. man in Oregon or the United
States has a better title to the name
'progressive' than Ben Selling. In
every movement for popular legisla
tion and for enlarging the reserve
power of the masses, Mr. Selling has
been an influential factor, through
all the times and struggles when such
advocates were in the minority and
were the targets of bitter abuse."
Soma Good In It.
""I don't hear Blodgett stutter any
more."
"No; he's curing himself. When he
runs across a difficult sentence he re
peats it over and over again until he
masters It See his lips move?"
"Yes. What's he saying now?"
"Can't you catch It? He's saying
"irresponsible paranoias.' Try it your
self." St Louis Post-Dispatch.

WHEN TO RETIRE.
The man who has lived an active life
quits it at his peril.
To retire is to" die.
Besides, n purposeless life Is of all
states the most miserr.lile. To go to
bed with uotliin.i; to look forward to
and wake up in' the morning with
nothing to do is to iive a pitiful ex
istence. It is. not the years I hat make a man
old.' It is the death of the spirit of
the man.
In his eiiiht.v-fourth year Judge
Roger A. Pryor of New York said to
a reporter:
"The pstssntre of time tins in itself no
effect on imm or other material things.
What n man does counts."
Moreover a man should, if possible,
continue tfheti old to do the things
he hilR ,,et'" 1,1"!i

but his greatest work, "The Descent
of Man," was written when he was
seventy years old.
Beethoven composed music up to the
day of his death.
Gladstone's greatest forensic trl
umphs were won at a time when most
men are in their dotage.
And Victor Hugo what a ripe old
man he hecamp! Ry many persons
"The Man Who Laughs" is considered
his greatest book He was near sev
enty when he wrote it.
Activity Is the law of life.
He who dies In the harness lives the
longest And there is the joy of work
up to the very last.
As Robert Louis Stevenson some
where asks. In substance: "Is It not
better to go on to the precipice, pour
ing your full life over the Niagara
of Death, than to dribble It away?"
When should one quit work?
Never!
