The attempt to maintain one at the City of Mexico has broken down, and a mere military despotism has been set up which has hardly more than the sembl ance of national authority." The months of deliberation and diplomatic conferences that this country has had with the authorities of the southern republic are summed up in that sentence of the presidential message to the congress of the United States. Simple, concise, purest English that flows from the pen of one of its great est masters in the message that the Democratic president has sent to the na tional halls summarizing the problems that haveefaced the first year of the new administration. Not more than three columns of type, the message goes to the very heart of the administrative problems of the country and penetrates to the bottom of every issue that has been presented in the months that Wil son has been at the head of national affairs. No longer are they dry, moss hacked old messages but they fairly writhe with force as the snappy, crisp sentences are read and the English that we have missed in presidential mess ages for so many years comes in the utterances of our national head. In four words, Wilson has summed up his troubles with Mexico. He puts into those four words the work of months. He tells to the congress of the United States the end of all of his diplomatic relations, the work of his special emmissaries, the accomplishments of his entire diplomatic crops. But the president is not without hope. "Little by little he has been com pletely isolated. By a little every day his power and prestige are crumbling and the collapse is not far away. We shall not, I believe, be obliged to alter our policy of watchful waiting." For the past few months, the president has been at work waiting. He has seen the trend of the times in Mexico and he has a firm conviction that the people will not much longer suffer the iron hand of the military master on their necks. He is confident that the time will come, at no very distant date, when the people of the country to the south will overthrow the power that has so long held them in check. "And then, when the end comes, wc shall hope to see constitutional order restored in distressed Mexico by the concert and energies of such leaders as prefer the liberty of their people to their own ambitions." A few paragraphs filled with the policy of one nation toward another and the hope of the protector of the western hemisphere that the other countries to her south will finally come out of the distressed and revolution-rent con ditions under which they have been laboring and that peace and constitution al order will be once more and finally restored. The president is simply waiting. Like Quintus Fabius, his strategy consists in maneuvering his forces in such a way that he has worn out his enemy before pitched battle can be fought. Like that great Roman leader, too, the president is winning in this policy and the enemy on the south is bringing about his own downfall without any material aid on the part of the United States. It is now merely a question of time. There have been periods during these negotiations when the president could have raised his finger and the United States would have been plunged into war with the nation on the south. The tide of public sentiment was in that direction. The anger of the people was aroused over the murder of Americans and the loss of life and property in Mexico. Without a hosti e move, hv means nt riinlomatic negotiations, hv simnlv waiting and allowing the enemy to play the game for him, Wilson has accom plished and is accomplishing one of the most difficult problems of the day and is doing it well. Colleges the Battleground of Church By the Right Rev. DAVID H. GREER, Protestant Episcopal Bishop ol New York - THE GREATEST BATTLE OF THE CHURCH IS TO BE FOUGHT IN OUR COLLEGES. There is an increasing tendency among college men toward un belief. In the schools of the country there are large numbers of hoys and girls who have RECEIVED NO RELIGIOUS EDUCATION WHATSOEVER. .

It improves the old proverb of a good name being better than great riches by making the good name bring great riches. Merchandising success is built on service. Advertising is one of the great est and most important factors in modern service. It is the electric railway over which customers come to the store ' and goods move to the customers. Newspaper readers are becom ing greater advertising readers day by day because they find it pays. It keeps them in touch with the men who are doing the world's work in a workmanlike way. It tells them what to buy and when to buy at the best advantage and best of all it makes them, fa miliar with the names worthy of their confidence.

DILLMAN & HO WLAND BUT SMALL PART OF CROP IS ON FARMS It is stated on quite good authority that not more than 20 per cent of the 1913 wheat crop of Oregon, Idaho and Washington remains unsold in the hands of producers. Not only are stocks on the farm he low expectations of the state, but home milling interests retain smaller stocks of the cereal than usual at this period of the season. This has led home of the trade to believe that before the next crop is available there will be almost a la mine in wheat offerings in the Pacific northwest and that prices are due for another sharp advance before the turn of the year. While this concluiion is merely speculative, it is based upon some showing of facts. At the present time millers are beginning to realize the scarcity of wheat holdings and for that reason are being forced into the higher priced market against their will. Wheat hils are reported from 82 to 82 l-2c a bushel for choice milling club, tidewater track basis, with blue stem 10c above these figures.

The 'concerted efforts of the Com mercial Clubs are directed wholly to ward attracting to the Northwest gen eraly, and to their respective com munities particularly, honi fide resi dents, and not a class of speculators who tend to create a shifting popula tion, cause unrest and dissatisfaction, and to innate unduly, prices of land. The time was, in early days of pub licity workj that literature was sent broadcast to eastern points, telling of big profits in real estate deals, of fab ulous sums that had been realized from this or that farming enterprise, and of get rick quick schemes which seemed easy and sure. Because of this misguided zeal in securing newcomers, there was for a time a generally concerted movement westward which brought a motley lot of people ,some of them with the idea of buying land at low prices to sell again quickly at a highly increased figure. Some of these people planted orchards, and with the least possible development work, expected to put them on the market, pocket a big pro fit, and depart for pastures new, there to repeat the mode of procedure. Those people who have not been suc cessful in bringing all this to pass are the knockers and the growlers, tly? dissatisfied ones who can find no good in the country. The people who have come here to make homes, and to become citizens of some community are for the most part immensely satisfied with condi tions as they find them, liking the climate and the people, and finding more good by far than is found in many places. The day of flamboyant literature from Commercial Clubs in almost ev ery city has passed, and in the place has gradually crept an earnest wish to depict life as it really is lived( con ditions as they really are, and the pub licity work has broadened and has be come a power for good. People are beginning to realize that in the Com mercial Clubs they have a friend in deed, and that truthful information may always be had for the asking. And because of this change in the work of the Clubs it has come about that a different class of people is com ing to the Northwest people who are attracted by the beauty of our cities, the fine moderate climate, the beauti ful flowers, and excellent fruits, and to the country district because an hon est living, and a good competence may be drawn from the soil. Earnest,honest men are needed, and if they come expecting to do their share, they 'will find opportunities do not halt on the way to meet thein halfway Oregon City Publicity.

"THIS HOUSE WHICH I HAVE BUILDED." Stands your house of life firmly founded on a rock, or is it builded on the shifting sands of fortune? Have you buttressed it with truth and honor, with the love of family and of friends, strengthening the walls where they need re-enforcement with the doing of kindly offices that are so often forgotten? Is your house of life firm? When Henry Winstanley, famous English engineer, brought to comple tion what he thought was his best work, the Eddystone lighthouse, he' stood aside and rejoiced in the labor of his brains. "It is a worthy structure," he said aloud. "It will stand for ages. Oh, how I should like to be here in the fiercest storm that ever blew and see how the' wind and sea should beat in vain against my work!" The fierce storm came. Winstanley stood in his house of pride and watch ed the strife outside. "It holds fast! It holds fast!" he cried. But the winds and the rain and the storm proved too much for the Eddy stone lighthouse, and in Its wreck it bore down to death the man who built it. We build ourselves lighthouses of pride and power. We rear them in wealth and honor. They will last for the ages, we believe. How we pride ourselves on our position, our riches, our standing in our communities! But we fail to found our lighthouses on the eternal verities of truth and hon or and love. And the storm comes the "fiercest storm that ever blew" to all of us, and down come our lighthouses. We go down with them,, often to death and ruin. Other builders of other lighthouses follow us. Their structures rear themselves against the heavens and totter and falL Finally comes one man with the secret of laying a proper foundation. The Eddystone lighthouse not Win stanley's still lights the coast of Eng land for the mariner. Its powerful warning light tells of concealed rocks and shoals. By its beacon the sailor steers his vessel aright. But no material warning it carries across the waters is stronger than the moral lesson it teaches of Winstanley, the builder who longed for "the fiercest storm that ever blew," that he might see how well his lighthouse should withstand it Sought After.
