AS THE YEARS Just about a hun
ROLL ONWARD dred and one years
ago the United States found it neces
sary, to preserve its dignity, to de
clare war for the second time against
Great Britain. The outcome of that
brief but somewhat spectacular war
fare was that this young and surpris
ing nation was accorded a place
among the world powers, from which
no subsequent attempt has been made
to remove it. It is true that during
the War of the Rebellion some peopls
in the Old World thought that oppor
tunity might be at hand to aid the
South, and so break up the solidity cf
the American union but at the close
of the Civil War they were disabused
of any such ideas.
Since then the path of the United
States as a world power has been
reasonably smooth. This nation has
had some disputes with other coun
tries, but in every case victory has
been so decisively American that the
other nations have rather come to the
conclusion that Uncle Sam is a good
person to leave alone. And Uncle
Sam, on the whole, has behaved him
self well, and has not shown any un
due conceit in his enviable position.
It is therefore somewhat surprisiig
to hear from various professional
soldiers that this nation' will sooner
or later go to war with somebody, just
in the natural course of events.
Possibly the wish is father to the
thought in these cases, for our sold
iers are sadly in need of something to
do to break the monotony of man
euvers and barracks-life. Still, the
soldiers can probably stand it better
than the nation can stand being plung
ed into conflict. That the United
States would make a creditable show
ing in any modern war is not for a
moment to be denied in spite of raven-throated
croakings about the
shocking condition of our defenses.
Uncle Sam has a way of preparing
for trouble in a hurry, and there is
no reason to believe that he has lost
that knack. Perhaps our success
would not be spectacular at first, but
nobody seems to doubt that it would

Man Is Most Useful
By Professor EARL BARNES. Economist, of New York
"I H MAN REACHES HIS HIGHEST USEFULNESS TO THE COM-
hM MUNITY BETWEEN THE AGES OF SIXTY AND SEVENTY,
j NOT IN EARLY OR MJDDLE LIFE.
It 19 a POPULAR FALLACY that a man ia at bis
height of usefulness when between the ages of thirty-five and sirtj.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for men to have developed the BEST THAT
IS IN THEM by that time.
The majority of our young men leave school and college between
the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. Then most of them ABANDON
ALL IDEA OF INTELLECT DAL CULTURE. What is the
result? Their latent potentialities never are developed and DIE
AWAY FROM SHEER NEGLECT.

youngest and most unsophisticated of
modern world powers, is reported to
be itching for trouble with Uncle
Samuel. Some folk are getting gen
erally alarmed over the remarks of
the Japanese press, as translated and
forwarded by American correspond
ents; and in the Hawaiian Islands it
is reported that United States garri
sons are moving into and fortifying
the crater of one of the pet scenic
volcanoes, just as an emergency meas
ure. It stands to reason, in sober
thought, that any nation that has the
nerve to fortify a Hawaiian volcano,
and utilize it as a fort, is not over-panic-stricken
at the prospect of
trouble with Japan. Storing dyna
mite, smokeless powder and 13-inch
shells on warm lava does not exactly
savor of fear.
Probably there will not be any war.
If there should be, it will probably be
a disastrous affair for Japan. Trans
porting troops and ammunitions of
war across the Pacific is a foolhardy
proposition, and that is one . of the
first things the Japanese would havss
to do. Some people declare that Jap
an would take the Philippines. If she
should accomplish this, it would not
be an unmixed evil. The Unitr-d
States has had them for some years
now, and is still fighting their people.
Perhaps Japan's capture of the Fili
pinos, should it ever occur, would
keep her so busy that she would cara
for no further warfare. In any event,
the record of the last hundred years
for the United States is not apt to
be broken; for no world power has
yet shown a particularly wild desire
to try conclusions with Yankee
strength. The little fuss with Spain
was not a war Spain was not a world
power.
IN THE This is the time of the year
SWIM when daring youth defies sun
burn, and dives into the river, there
to disport itself more or less expertiy.
This is also the time of year when
boys will bathe oftener, and yet ba
dirtier, than at any other season. And
that raises a question. Why does
the average small boy detest a bath
tub of nice, clean and warm water,
yet rush eagerly into the dirty, mud
dy, semi-stagnant and ice cold water
of the sloughs? It is a safe bet that
the same boys who are today flound
ering around in the shallow places of
the Willamette would consider them
selves highly abused if their fathers
and mothers requested them to climb
into a bathtub filled with the same
murky fluid, and kept at the same
temperature.
Swimming is a healthy sport, even
in the Willamette. It is healthier,
however, elsewhere, where the water
is not so filled with waste and rub
bish and filth. It would be particu
larly healthy in a swimming pool, did
this city possess such a thing. Thea
not only boys, but girls as well, could
avail themselves of the most general
exercise that has yet been discovered,

attention in our educational plans.. . '
Whether the youth appreciates the need of further education or
not is not the question. Society must appreciate it and provide for it
by EXTENDING THE COMPULSORY PERIOD OF EDU

eighteen even for those compelled to devote most of their time and
energy to bread winning. -

MAN, AS THOUGH IT WERE A WISE EDUCATIONAL POLICY TO
CARE FOR HIM SYSTEMATICALLY UP TO FOURTEEN AND THEN
LEAVE HIM ABRUPTLY AND ABSOLUTELY TO THE TENDER MERCIES
OF THE FACTORY AND STREET.
The problem of legislation is therefore to provide a system of
schools which shall give opportunity to all our youth during the years
of development between fourteen and eighteen, DURING THE
YEARS OF ADOLESCENCE.
Our problem is to extend the opportunities for vocational educa
tion TO ALL during this adolescent period, a problem which we
cannot longer defer if we hope TO CONSERVE OUR HUMAN

would never have to lie awake in
fear and worry when the excursion
boat was late in returning. The boy
or the girl who can swim is pretty
apt to live to a ripe old age first be
cause swimming builds up the whole
ody, and secondly because the abil
ity to swim gives self-confidence, and
makes boating accidents mere incon
veniences. Perhaps this is why the boys swim
in the Willamette and its dirt. May
be they feel that they must swim
somewhere, and prefer muddy water
to none at all. And perhaps this is
why their parents let them do it. But
it would be nice if a municipal swim

John E. Osborne, former governor
ofWyoming and recently named by
President Wilson as first assistant
secretary of state, was borne in the
town of Westport, N. Y., June 19,
1864. He was graduated as a physi
cian at the University of Vermont,
and removed to Rawlings, Wyo.,
where for a period he practiced his
profession. Later he went into the
live stock business, and became the
largest individual sheep owner in
Wyoming. He held various offices
under the Territorial government of
Wyoming, and was governor of the
state from 1893 to 1897, declining a
renomination in 1896. He served one
term in the house of representatives.
In 1899 he was the unsuccessful dem
ocratic and free silver candidate in
the Wyoming - legislature for United
States senator. For many years Mr.
Osborne has been a close friend and
political supporter of William J.
Bryan.

SELF HELP.
I once knew a boy whose hobby was
mathematics. He had practically fin
ished higher arithmetic when he was
eleven and higher algebra when he
was thirteen. One of his peculiarities
was that he would permit no one to
help him work a problem. He would
not listen to a suggestion. He would
fight or leave the room before he
"would permit a word to be said that
would throw any light on the solution
of his "sums." Perhaps he had not
reasoned it out, but in his own heart
he regarded the opportunity to . work
a problem as a privilege of which he
was very iealous and with which no
one might interfere.
That boy is now a successful man.
1 have followed his career with some
interest and have seen him make his
mark in every community in which
he ever lived. . He became known prac
tically the nation over. He has kept
the same traits, although expressed In
different ways, that he manifested in
his boyhood. He still Insists in work
ing put his own problems and thinking
his own thoughts.
The boy who asks another to help
him with his lessons is cheating him
self. He is robbing himself of that
much training and mental discipline.
He Is weakening his own faculties.
He is handicapping himself for the
problems that life itself will present
when be has to make his own way
and can get no one to help him in
their solution.
It is as though a man were train
ing for a race and would ask another
to do his road work for him or as
though one training tor a boxing bout
depended on another to exercise with
the punching bag.
We cannot win success by proxy nor
send a substitute into the battle of
life. We have to go ourselves.
Stand on your own feet Live your
own life. Think out your own coarse.
There are few if any questions that
rer confront a human being that
canijnt be solved by that being If he

and straight enough. All this Is a
matter of will power and of mental
training He must learn to concen
trate until he can shut out everything
In the world except the one question
before him. He mnst be able to ana
lyze it and to put it in its simplest
statement If he thinks long enough
he will finally discover that to every

everything Is simple.
