ING STRAW ARMY ocratic papers:
have set up a standing army man of I
straw and beaten "the "everlasting!
stuffing'' out of it. The standing ar-1
my, as a matter of fact, is visible on- i
ly in imagination. Slaughter of it by j
these valiant papers would be imma- i
terial, if the editorial coup de grace !
did not have running through it the j
characteristic Democratic tone of '
contempt for and disparagement of
the men who serve the United States
in the army and navy. No man, not ',
even the niost ardent militarist, who j
retains his senses, advocates main-!
taining an army of 1,000,000 men in ;
this country. The most extravagant
military system devised by theoret
ical experts never contained such a j
provision. 1
Europe, to which we are accustom
ed to point as a horrible example of j
the crushing burden of an army, and ;
to characterize as a great armed ;
camp, has but one power which main- i
tains under arms so many men as
that. Russia, with troops covering a '
territory three times as great as our
own, including our island possessions, j
and a population also three times as j
large, and far more heterogeneous,
has a standing army of 1,200,000.
Germany, the ackowledged leading
military power of the world, keeps i
under arms 620,000 men. France 600,-;
000, Austria-Hungary 390,000. Little !
Japan, with but half our population,
and less than one-twentieth our area,
keeps under arms 450,000 men. More :
than Germany, she is the terrible ex- i
ample of militarism. She is carrying
the most crushing burden of war i
preparation in proportion to her i
Rising Prices
Blessing
timan
By Professor IRVING FISHER, Political Economist
FTER FIFTEEN YEARS OF
NOTIZED OURSELVES INTO THINKING THEY ARE AN UN
MIXED EVIL. BUT RISING PRICES ARE, IN FACT, THE
GREATEST BLESSING TO THE HUMAN RACE.
How fervently tlie men of the nineties prayed for them! Each
generation is MORTGAGED TO THE ACCUMULATED CAP
ITAL OF THE PAST and has got to meet the interest and princi
pal of its debt. It is twice as easy to meet these payments with prices
rising as it is with prices falling.
Rising prices strike' off the shackles of our debt to the past and
open the doors of opportunity of the future. CAPITAL LOSES,
BUT HUMANITY GAINS. The rise in prices in the sixteenth
century helped the people of Europe to shake off the inherited bur
dens of the feudal system and to clear the stage for the entry of mod
era commerce. FALLING PRICES, ON THE OTHER HAND,
MAKE COWARDS OF US ALL. They slam the door of oppor
tunity in our face.
s n n
IT ISN'T THE RISE IN PRICES, BUT OUR FAILURE TO ADAPT
OUR ECONOMIC MACHINERY TO IT, THAT CAUSES ALL THE
TROUBLE.
K
Wages don't respond like prices. They lag behind prices. They
are the last to rise and the last to fall. They never rise as high or
fall as low. There is the same lag in the interest rate. This lag in
wages and interest gives to the adventurous and bold the chance of
profit and CAUSES TRADE EXPANSION. " :

strength of all the nations of the
earth. These figures show the ab
surdity of stuffing the standing army
man with enough straw to make 1,
000,000 men and then beating him to
see the chaff fly.
Thoughtful military men and most
military men are thoughtful as to
practical ways for the national de
fense, do not want or ever expect j
this country to maintain a large army j
constantly under arms. What they
want is a practical military swstem
which would give us a reserve army I
upon which we could call in an emer
gency, with enough troops under arms
ready for instant use to give us a
first line of defense. They want to
be able to create an army when one
is needed in the shortest possible
time, and this can not be done with
out some sort of organization and
training. It is quite possible military
men who want thus to make some
provision for future possibilities of
need are quite as wise and quite as
patriotic as those who habitually de
cry the army and navy and speak
sneeringly of them. The army and
navy ;n the past have done a few
things of which some Americans are
proud.
SALOONIST FINED FOR
SELLING TO INEBRIATE
Chief of Police Shaw announced
Wednesday that saloonkeepers must
be more careful in future as to whom
they sell liquor. The chief said that
the law regarding selling liquor to
an intoxicated man would he most
rigidly inforced. He declared that
there had been more drunken men
in the cJty the past week than for
months before. Leo Cameron, son of
J. L. Cameron, who conducts a saloon
was fined $25 for selling liquor to an
intoxicated man Wednesday by Re
corder Stipp. The man he sold the
liquor to was S. Smith, who was ar
rested by Policeman Griffith, and
was sentenced to serve five days in
the city jail. The complaint against
Cameron was sworn out by the chief
of police, the defendant pleading
guilty.

HOP CONTRACTS ARE

The market for, hop contracts is
rather active and firm at 15c a pound. ,
Considerable business has passed at
Willamette Valley points during the,
last few days, the aggregate being
the greatest of the season to date.
Most buyers have been operators
and some of them have purchased
extensively.
The market for spot goods is very
quiet and somewhat inclined to show
weakness. The future of the trade de
pends entirely upon the crop advices.
Present prospects are for a good out
put but the season is still too early
to say much regarding this. Many
things may haopen between now and
picking time.
The best hops available are now be
ing quoted at 15c a pound. This is
fractionally lower than previous fig
ures although quality considered the
market is substantially the same as
during recent days. Most of the hops
left in growers' hands are of medium
grade.
