By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD
We have Just passed the eighth
anniversary of the outbreak of the
-world war. And what results?
A few new nations in place ot
older nations, new nations destin
ed to bloodshed and suffering to
maintain and develop their entity,
old nations embittered to battle
for their reincarnation.
, It is difficult to get a proper pei
epectlve of Germany. Henri Lichten
berger, profejsor of the University of
. Paris, In a twelve day visit to Berlin
few weeks ago, dug out some very
interesting facts.
Growth of National Party Shows
Trend of Thought. .
Llchtenberger points out that the
- German National party has succeeded
the old Conservative party. This in
cludes the aristocrats, the proprietors
of large estates, and high ' officials
of the old regime. The officials who
have lost their positions and who are
living from hand to mouth supply the
party with force, are always ready for
action, are energetic, eager for battle
and even anxious for a fight.
The university people, both faculity
und students, fed on the tradition ot
a rolicy of force, feel keenly the hum
iliiition of defeat, and have ranged
themselves solidly behind the ilea of
a restoration of the German military
power. The peasants form the mass
of the party.
The leaders have capitalized certain
elemental mental conditions for the
' purpose of building strength, and or
ganization. They exp'.ott the- bitter
ness of the former privileged rlass'r?.
they play upon the resentment of the
disbanded army, they wave the fear
r.ag of Bolshevism and excite the anti-Semite

to start operations on the north line
according to Lieutenant W. K. Patter
son. A crew of 60-men aided by eight
donkey engines one 42-ton Shay en
gine and a 60-ton Shay engine that
will soon be installed are rapidly put

HARDING VETOES
gives rails
Says Funds Not Provided and
Argued That Financial Olbi
gation Would Be Terrific.
Washington The soldiers' bon
us bill was vetoed by the Presi
dent In a message to congress to
day. The President declared he
was in accord with the avowed
purpose of the bill but could not ,
subscribe to Its provisions. He
said congress had failed to provide '
the revenue to meet the provisions
of the bill.
The President said that the ulti
mate cost could not be estimated
definitely, but the Treasury figured
a total of seven hundred fifty mil
lion dollars in the first four years
with a final charge In excess of four
billion dollars. Harding told con
press that tho 'proposed service certi
ficates substituted for the original
cash payment would constitute bor
rowing "on the nation's credit Just
'. as truly as though the loans were
made by direct government borrow
ing." He added this Involves "a
dangerous abuse of public credit."
The executive declared it is essen.
tial "to remember that a more than
four billion dollar pledge to ab'.e i.
-vico men would not diminish the lat
er obligation" which the veterans
contributed to the "rolls of the ased,
indigent and dependent." This ob'.i
ration, he siid, would "cost mora
billions than .1 venture to suggest."

Lack of Responsibility Has Cost
Fair Board Several Hundred
Do liars Each Year in Repairs
Peter Frederick, president o.i
the fair board, and W. K. Pat-
terson, secretary, appeared before
the city council Tuesday evening
and asked that the fair buildings
be turned over to the county
court In order that some ' one ,
might be made responsible for
the upkeep of same. They, ex
plained that due to lack of proper
care in past years great expense
has been incurred ' by each fair
board to prepare the buildings for
the fair and that this could be
avoide bf a little iligence on the
part of those in chage.
It seems that there has been a dis
crepancy as to who actually had
charge of the buildings the county
court or the city council. However,
It was decided at the meeting that the
buildings belonged to the county ana
;that the court was the proper guard

It was also decided at the meeting,
to keep all cows, privately owned or
otherwise, that have been pasturing
there, out and the marshal was given

To the Editor::
Through the columns of your valu
able paper I wish to congratulate the
Lincoln County Fair .association for
the splendid exhibit they put on at
the recent county fair.
The exhibits were all good In every
department. We who hava lived in
Lincoln county many years know what
Lincoln county soil will produce.
But what interested mo particularly
was the splendid showing made with
the oa'ry herds. If Lincoln county !
anything It is one of the best natural
dairy counties in Oregon, and the

leg last Thursday when the scaffold
he was working on at the Pacific,
hprure mill gafe waq and he fell some
12 feet to the ground At first It was
feared that the vouns mi I was in
jured seriously, but. according to a'
reyort from his father. Geo. McCalon.H
the young man is getting on nicely
at the present writing. Ho was takun
to n Portland hospital immediately af

T
Marshal's Report Shows That
During Past Month 10 Dif
ferent Places Open; New Mar
shal Appointed.
Toledo merchants are again
gcitlng careless . about leaving
their places of business open, ac
cording to a report submitted to
the city dads at their meting Mon
day evennlg by night . Marshal
Schenek. The following places
of business were found open dur
ing the month:
August 1st McCallou's Planing Mill
August 6th Arthur Nye's, Gilder
sleeve Grocery and Jacob's shops.
August 8th 4. O. O. F. hall.
. August 16 Do(tot waiting room.
Auirii-U 20 (Planing Mill.
August 24 Bateman's - Furniture
House.
' Aurust 28 JJudge James' office.
August 30 Bateman's.
The report also embodied the fact
that -business men . as a whole, are
keeping trash and dirt in front of their
places fo business well cleaned up.
On the restgnatoln of Mr. Schenek
as. watchman, Fred Taylor was ap
pointed to fill the fncancy.
It is to be . regretted that a few
business mou hufe refused to stand
their share of the burden of paying the
night watchman's salary, and the bur
den will necessarily fall upon the re
mainder. There Is no question that a
night watchman Is absolutely neces
sary to the protection of the business
listrlct not only from burgulars and
fnrolessnpss but also from fire, and
all should be willing to stand his pro
lortlonate share In order that the
vatchman might be retained.

Providing State Gives Portland
Right to Finance World s Fair
Oregon Will Be Greatly Bene
fited as Result.
The particular purpose of the '
1925 exposition will be to adver
tise to the world the resources
and opportunities of Oregon In a
big, comprehensive way that will
attract hundreds of thousands of
visitors. It is to be an exposition
for tho entire state, yet It Is pro
posed that it shall be financed by
Portland, if the rest of Rie state
gives Portland Uie legal right to -tax
itself for the purpose. No tax
on other parts of Oregon is con
templated, yet the voters of the
rest of the state must approve of
the proposed constitutional amend
nient giving Portland the right to
tax itself If the exposition plans
are to go forward. ,
The committee In charge of ' the
campaign has adopted n policy declare
ing that the exposition Is for the en
tire state, and every piece of advertis
ing matter will state that the exposi
tion Is an Oregon exposition. -
That there is a great need for com
prehensive advertising of the re
sources and opportunities of Oregon
