The Tnited State, the mot peace loving notion in the world, does not an nually expend a much on its military and naval establishment a do the large European power.

The Boston Globe of recent date says: i "Under the grant of liberties lately made to Finland, the right of suffrage was conferred on women. A few months later, the legislative assembly of Vic toria, Australia, rejected, for the four teenth time, a proposition to permit women to vote. This is one of the dif ferences between, autocratic Russia and a democratic British colony." la granting the suffrage, Russia only restored to the women of Finland what had been theirs before the oppressions of the Russifying policy which drove both the men and women of Finland to revolt , ' As to th British colonies, it is only fair to say that they lead the world in the emancipation of women. With the solitary exception of the province of Victoria, equal suffrage prevails throughout Australia; while in all New Zealand women enjoy full polit ical equality. . ( .I '0 ) NEIGHBORLY IDEAS. The Hammond road will leave-Tillamook CSty six miles to the east of ies line. That may be possible, and we shouldn't blame Mr. Hammond very much if he did. But Tillamook City has a couple of "knock down argu ments" against .such a proposition in old Cape Meares and Cape Lookout. Tillamook people, however, acted very foolishly when they undertook to give Mr. Lytle the whole earth to the ex clusion of everybody else. A proposi tion of that kind would have been all right five or ix years ago, but at the present time, when Hammond put Lytle where he just had to build to protect binweli, 11 looks, at tils dis tance, as though it would have been doing only the fair thing if Tillamook ian had fixed things for a union of interest of the railroads pointing that way it would have been better for Tillamook. But, after all, it won't make much difference, as everything Mnt in fbiibaldi and Cloverdale as the two points of greatest prominence In Tillamook county.

A boy fchould have an allowance at any early age and keep within it. He should be taught by example and precept that money mak ing is the greatest thing in life, but he should be made to feel that he can not cheat or gamble or borrow without paying. An abhorrence of debt should he'instilled into a bojs mind at a very youthful age, and we then would have fewer shipwrecks of honor, fewer em bezzlements, fewer ruined names and blighted homes if strict integrity were the corner stone of home education.' A man went into an undertaker's shop the othe day, almost ovewhelraed with 1 grief. The kind undertaker soothed the caller as best he could be fore asking for the order. Finally the man was able to tell what the trouble was: "I have lost my wife, he sobbed and then with one supreme effort he continued, "and I would sooner have lost the best cow on the place. o Time was not far back when the boodler was called a statesman, or at worse, a shrewd politician. It is to the great advantage of this couutry that he is now known by his ' right name. 0 ' Marriage is a great thing to take the conceit out of a certain class of men. let they line up and go liKe lambs to the slaughter, not knowing what sharp medicine is in store for them. 0 The value of the Imports in the United States from Cuba for the fiscal year 1906 was $S4 ,979,831, a decrease, owing to lower prices, from the total of 1905, which was $$6,304,259. o ' It is true as shooting that if every body led an ideal life the world would be without much news or excitement, and many of our newspapers would have to go out of business. . 0 ' America can and will under certain conditions grow over 3.000-f.OO bales of cotton, nearly three times as much as is now grows. . 0 The Cuban government has purchased 500 horses to be used in the rebellion in that republic and want 1,500 more. N writing ft "popular song" the budding author would do well to be guided by few easily rometnborod mlos. In the first place, bo must two the most simple worda and the mot ordinary phrases. Anything which has tho appearance 0; being involved will fail. Ono must bo aura to have oorao little love theme running through the Btory, bocauao tho popular miiBio buainesa to a great extent iakeptalive BY THE YOUNG WOMEN from fifteen to twenty-five yeara of ago.

Be most careful to have tho melody and the 'arrangement set down in the simplest manner, ao thai any ono with even ft limited knowledge of music can play it ONE DIFFICULT STRAIN" in aong ia very apt to spoil the whole. , la the arrangement of the musio the author of a popular aong must restrict himself to not more than ore octave and ono note. Thia is for the benefit of the singer who is to render it on the' stage. In the writing of instrumental music, marches, walttea and the like, ft com poser may go as far as two octaves. Having in mind the limitationa of the ordinary singer in vaudeville, tho going beyond the octave and one note is dangerous. .,,,, It is to the performer who singa the aong from tho etago and tho voting girl who hears it-pJaved over by the "demonstrator" in the de partment store that the author must look for the nieceaa of bis effort Tho young girl uiJs tho ealo of the aong because the romanticism of J her nature is touched.by tho sentiment If there is no sentiment in tho song she is not moved, AND SHE DOESN'T BUY.

They're considered to be uncommon': nice, NO ONE cau tell from tho mere reading over of a aong whether or not it is destined to be a hit. If any ono could, he could mako $1,000 an hour by simply picking out the wheat from the chaff, turn ing tho accepted product over to a music publisher and then watching tho effect on tho public.' Tlw aong has to bo published and tried out before the gteat audience of the public beforo a verdict can be ren dered. In this respect the popular song is on a par with the theatrical production, f managers at rehearsal could tclwhnt would please, no failures would ever be recorded. Song market conditions have to bo studied as closely aa the condi tions of anj other market, and tho author must put out bis product AT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT. For example, it would be an error of judgment to try out tho ordinary "coon aong" t a period when the BALLAD was at tho height of its popularity. Feel the tendcy, and then take advantage of it. The first success made by. my partner, Mr. Van Alstyno, and myself was with "Navaho." This was at a time when tho Indian aong was in demand There were three others to show the drift, "Hiawatha," "Anona" and "Laughing Water."
