PERSONAL The Enterprise .prints
LIBERTY elsewhere a protest, signed
by a number of Gladstone and other
women, all of whom say they are
readers and patrons of this paper, in
regard to the proposed performance
in these parts of a wild West show on
Sunday. The protest says that The
Enterprise is exerting an influence in
favor of the proposed performance.
The Enterprise regrets that these
of its readers think this paper is ex
erting an influence in favor of the
proposed show. This paper is trying
not to do that; but to print an un
biased account of the news in rela
tion to this particular phase of local
activity. The Enterprise believes that
when some 25 percent of the popula
tion is fighting something, this fight
is a matter of news. And when tlM
other 75 per cent of the people of the
community is talking about the sub
ject opposed, it becomes still more a
matter of news. And so The Enter
prise is printing, from day to day,
such news in regard to this thing as
comes to its hands.
And that is all.
LOOKING One hundred and thirty
BACKWARD seven years ago today
the engrossed copy of the Declaration
of Independence was signed by 54
colonial delegates at Philadelphia, and
the real beginning of this nation as
an entity was made. The rough draft,
first made and approved on the fourth
day of July, was but the informal
agreement, as it were, that the col
onies were resolved to stand' together
and seek their destiny unhampered by
the apron strings of any nation of the
Old World.
The 137 years elapsing since then
have been marked by a wonderful de
velopment of this nation. From a
brave and struggling group of settle
ments fringing a vast territory, the
size of which not even its early in
habitants even so much as guessed,
the nation has become a world power,
reaching out its dominions from the
Atlantic tropics to the Pacific Orient.
It has fought and defeated Old WorM
powers, and it has fought itself in
what was one of the most sanguinary
and desperate wars of history. It
has met many problems, facing them
all 'with the clear conscience of a land
whose people know themselves to be
free and equal, and it has solved mos!
of its difficulties though perhaps not
always in the best or simplest way.
But it. is not in this that the great
ness of the nation really lies. Other
nations have done as much; even if in
not as brief as span of years. Ta-3
United States has been the most pow
erful land of the world because of its
power to assimilate the peoples of
other lands and make of them true
Americans. No other country has
shown this power, no other nation hai
met ought but failure when it at
tempted it. For over fifty years Eu
rope has been pouring her surplus
hordes into ..the western continent,
and yet they have not even had the ef
fect of making this land of ours "cos
mopolitan." Those who have come
here have thrown off the mantle their
original nationality even as they have
cast aside their allegiance to their
former rulers, and have become, in
two generations at the outside, Am
ericans in the fullest sense of the
term. '
It is this that has made the United
States the wonder of the rest of the
world. Its Constitution has been
broad enough to provide for this mar
velous assimilation; its very air has
in it that which makes for a common
set of characteristics of all those who
breath it. Children of the second gen
eration of Scotch, Irish, English, Rus
sian, Italian, French parentage show
no difference that is appreciable, save
in the spelling of their names. The
grandsons and granddaughters of folk
who came to these shores plainly
marked with the racial signs of their
nativity are not to be differentiated
today from the sons and daughters of
the oldest families. They are all cit
izens of the United States, and they
all glory in being Americans and in
subscribing to American principles.
It is true that there are reversions
to type to be found. But they are the
exceptions, and usually they are lack
ing in the fuller development of their
fellows. But for the most part the
people of this nation are a race by
themselves, united by a burning patri
otism (which it must : be confessed
they like to hide), a quick, wit;- a
superb sense of humor that enables
them to meet reversals with a smil
ing face and a new courage, and a
broadmindness that gives them a tol
erance for the foibles of those who
are less enlightened. And in all this
lies their pride, the pride that is re
flected in their carriage and demeanor
and that maV.es them easy to pick out
no matter in what part of the globe
they may chance to be. '
This mysterious power of assimila
tion seems to be native to the soil of
the northern part of the western
hemisphere, and nowhere else. Na
tion's of the other parts of the world
have tried it, either willingly or other
wise, and have failed. The Rome
that was overrun by te Huns was a
totally different Rome from the, one
of earlier history. German conquer
ing of Alsace and Lorraine has never
made the people of these states any
less French. The uniting of Ireland.
Scotland, Wales and England has not
brought about any similarity between
the several peoples. Yet carry an
Irishman, a Scotchman and a Welch
man to the United States, and sec
them down in any community, and ui
a generation the offspring of the three
will be Americans in thought, pecu
liarity of speech and general charact
eristic. The subtle power that brings
about this change, be it tlie Spirit of
Freedom or the ineffable American
ism, is what has caused the.growti
and marvelous development of-. this I
nation:' and it is that sacred thing
which will forever hold this land in
the lead, and keep its peoples leaders
of the world.

German Broadside Effective
Strong Navy an Insurance For Peace.
Pay For It!
By Admiral GEORGE DEWEY, U. S. N.
I BELIEVE IT IS THE DUTY OF EACH GENERATION TO PAY ITS
OWN INSURANCE AND NOT TO THRUST ITS BURDENS UPON
THE GENERATIONS THAT COME AFTER, AND THE INSURANCE
FOR PEACE IS A NAVY STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPEL IT.
The only function and justification for the existence of a navy is the
preservation of peace. To perform this function the navy must be ade
quate, and, though so much discussed in these recent times, the word
"adequate" as applied to the navy has but one meaning, and that is : An
"adequate navy" is a navy of a STEENGTH SUFFICIENT TO MEET
AND DEFEAT ANY PROBABLE ENEMY. . This strength is not
absolute, but is relative and varies from period to period as the other
naval powers of the world vary. At the present period "adequacy" on
our part calls for a navy SECOND IN STRENGTH TO THAT OF
ENGLAND ONLY.
We ourselves through lack of foresight of our fathers and grand
fathers paid the penalty of our generation in the loss of hundreds of
thousands of lives, and our sons and grandsons have been paying the
costs of the billions of dollars wasted and the hundreds of millions in
pensions for which they were mortgaged, and thev still continue to pay.
J" We are paying today for the navy, as AN INSURANCE WHICH
DOES NOT INSURE US, roughly $1.50 per capita per annum. Be
sides whathas already been paid in lives and money, we are still mort
gaged by lack of foresight in our fathers to the extent of the national
debt and the additional $1.80 per capita per annum that we are paying
in pensions. -'
Shall our lack of foresight continue this system of mortgaging the
coming generations, or shall we add the relatively small sum needed to
-11 i'nrit.JpBTiTaTipewely to rke that insurance ADE-

King of Greece
Constantine, the new king of tie
Greeks, was born in the royal nalace
of Athens on August 2, 18G8, being the
eldest son ot the late. King George,
who was assassinated at Saloniki last
March and whom ha succeeded on the
throne. TV a new king is connected
by blood with virtually all the great
soveregns of Europe. In 1889 lie
was married to Princess Sophia, a sis
ter of Emperor William II. of Ger
many. The royal couple have five
children, the eldest of whom, Crown
Prince George, recently passed his
twenty-third birthday. Constantine
came to the throne of Greece at the
very height of his popularity, which
he won last spring on the field of bat
tle against the Turks in Macedonia
and which his recent successful war
fare against the Bulgarians has raised
to the highest pitch.

HOPS ONLY FANCY
CROP IN MARKET
With the raspberry season about
over, and with fruit so soft that it
will hardly keep for a day, prices in
the berry market are tumbling to any
figure that. will clear the days re
ceipts. Logans are also low, and
blackberries are not holding up very
well as far as quotations go. Black
caps are about the highest of any,
but. even they are being sold at a dol
lar a crate.
New spuds are generally plentiful,
and are selling from 90 cents to a dol
lar per hundred pounds. Second
grade stuff is being offered as low as
75 cents wholesale, but is not moving
rapidly.
Hood River cherries are in sucu
shape that they are being unloaded
for as little as two-bits per box. Wil
lamette valley cherries, though not
over-plentiful, are holding , up pretty
well. The Dalles and White Salmon
fruit is all gone. Peaches are in
much he same fix as cherries, though
the poorer grades are not as bad as
the Hood River black republicans.
The market for hop contracts is
' gaining in strength, and while it is
; rumored that 21 cents is being offer
j.e:l privately, this figure has not yet
I been publically quoted.. That it will
1 be, however, there is no doubt. Such
, strength was never before seen in hop
' contracts at this period of the year.
The great advances that have occur
red in the markets of Germany and
; England during te last few weeks in
dicated the sore straits that short sell--ers
have found themselves in.
