V V. af4H0UQH a war cannot, be caused I entirely by foolish talk, thla , .. A may be one cause of a war, If v one should ensue. High public officials who Indulge In bombastic . and belligerent talk are enemies of their own country more than of the "other. Military and naval officers of high degree are prone to verbal belligerency; war is their trade, and they neither get killed nor pay the : taxes, but may gain promotion and "glory." Some politicians nd so called statesmen are also volubly warlike; they have nothing to lose and possibly something to gain. Wartime if always a time of great 'f grafts. The press Is a power for or against ; war. It la supposed to voice public sentiment; it does so partly, and In such a case partly makes public sen- ttment, too. The press should speak : ' for peace, not war. The press cannot 1 advocate supine non-resistance to in- - suits and unwarrantable aggressions, " of course; but It should be slow to ' advocate resort to war, as one should .Jj .""low to. wrath." ' i kAs to Japan, nothing has occurred as yet' to Justify any serious talk of war In consequence. The efforts of ' press and public men should be to . help plan such future arrangements . with Japan, and with other nations, aa will obviate war, or any menace of war on alight provocation. War. that. byany. reasonable ar- rangement or mutual concessions can be avoided is the height of crim inal tolly. .. Let the Influential people of the nation address' themselves to the problem of such arrangements and concessions, rather than begin bristling up and talking, war every time some trivial unpleasantness oc- :cura.rv'I i , War-thought and war-talk are not -an exhibition of patriotism, though come strutting officers and pseudo : statesmen may imagine it so; rather the contrary. The true patriot will ; thfnk ' and talk peace, and right . means of peace, not war. f TRY TO; KNOW OREGON 0 yREGONIANS ought to know Ore gon; but they don't. They have a state that is.

Governor Folk In his Fourth of July address at Evansvllle, Indiana, took a similar view, saying: Nowhere Is thla ancroAchment on tha rights of the atate more marked than in the wholesale nullification of the tate lawa by federal courts without hearing and before trial. The reault la, unless the consent of a railroad can be obtained to pending legislation, the atate becomea pownrlesa. No good cltl- en dealres to be unjuat to rail road a, but that they must be regulated and that the states should not be left aa mere Subjects of thejr benevolence all must admit -No one could object to a court, state or federal, declaring the statute unconstitutional, if found to be so after hearing. But there should be protest against statutes of the atates being auapended aa presumptively bad until the case Is determined. This Is like punishing a man first and trying him afterwards. A number of Impor tant lawa of the state of Missouri aro now embalmed by the federal Injunction veto. In the couraa of years, when the cases are tried, the court will probably bold they are valid, but they might as well be killed aa to be chloroformed by Injunction until their vitality la gone. It seems to us that this criticism. though caustic, is well merited and timely. And in saying so we do not deny or controvert the proposition that the federal government must be the main agency in regulating and controlling railroads. This must be so because most transportation that needs regulation Is Interstate, and this the states, acting severally, can not regulate. The federal govern ment should take the lead, and states should legislate with reference to and In accordance with federal laws. But It does not follow that atates cannot or should not legislate to suit themselves, and when they do so It aeems to be Incontrovertible that the state courts and other state authorities should adjudicate and execute state laws. If the question raised Is one of the constitutionality of the law, then, as Governor Folk says, a federal court may properly assume Jurisdiction, under certain circumstances, but In the Missouri case the question of constitutionality was not raised. Judge McPherson proposes to test, himself, by experi ment, a state law and decide upon the result, not whether It Is constltu tional but the question of fact whether the two-cent fare Is reason able or not. As to the two-cent fare laws that have been passed by a dozen states, we think they are not well consid ered or wise legislation. The people are not complaining much about fares, and In the case of many west ern roads we think three cents a mile is low enough. Aside from this, It was poor policy. These laws gave the railroads a cbance to say they were being persecuted, and an excuse to raise freight rates and give poor service. porary emotional Insanity; may be presented, the courts ,ahould be pre pared to protect the. public from these unfortunate people whose men tal aberrations or lapses cause them to commit crimes. As the Chicago Tribune says: Magistrates cannot be too rigidly on guard against kleptomaniacs, hypnotic vlotlma, and sufferers from brainstorms and psychic epilepsy. At least a re straining Influence for such patients la always desirable, and sending them back Into the world for further exhibition of their peculiar specialties is not a wise or prudent course. The element of the community that la not aubject to psy chic epilepsy and bralnatorma has a reasonable right to demand protection from the element that la. Gold Wearied Multl-Millionaires RAILROADS IN CANADA. C ainaua is relatively developing and prospering more than the United States because the gov ernment in part owns and ex erclses control over the great Cana dian Pacific railway system. That great railroad is not owned or con trolled by any Harrlman, who can sit in his office In Wall street and prevent its extension into fertile, re sourceful territory, but the govern ment at Ottawa sees to it that the road is not only run in the interest of the people, but that extensions and branches are built far out into fertile provinces, almost before set tlement begins, and that settlers are thus guaranteed transportation facll Itles as soon aa they can produce anything to ship away. Right here In Oregon are thou sands of square miles of country, perhaps as good or better, all thlnga considered, than that which Is being settled up so rapidly in Winnipeg and Manitoba, but people will not go to It and develop It and raise products on it because Harrlman will neither build railroads nor allow any one else to do so. Perhaps If the government had bad a controlling voice in the matter Oregon would have had hundreds of miles more railroads and hundreds of thousands more population than It has today. ; ;'v core of products of Which we ' "ahould be exporters. .ttsThIi means we have been lax In -'learning Oregon.

This Is getting Irresponsi bility for crime down to a pretty fine point and psychic epilepsy will have quite a run unless the courts sit down hard on It. In this delight ful condition -for a person who wants to commit a crime the pa tient' "loses his mind for several minutes," long enough td commit a murder, and then la all right again. Having had no mind when he com mitted the crime, he cannot be pun ished; being perfectly sane soon afterward, he cannot be committed to an insane asylum. This la simply an old excuse under a new name, and made a little more refined and confusing. Of course in any given case where the defendant has plenty of money any number of "eminent alienists" can be procured to testify to a condition of ''psychic epilepsy" at the moment the crime was com mitted. But whatever thla old ex cuse may be , named. . or however Over In Washington two boys of 10 years of age, armed with a re volver or rifle, or both, in trying to shoot an older youth shot and seri ously wounded his 14-year-old sister. Isn't a revolver or rifle a fine thing to place in the hands of boys of this age? Yet many such boys are taught to think It Is "smart" and manly to carry or become familiar with gun, la consequence of which hun dreds of tragedies are enacted in this country every year. By Professor Dr. Emli Belch At Berlin they say that money alone doea not mean happtness, the point being to have It (lrst No so the Ameri ca nf and other multi-millionaires. They say to have money is nothing; the point la to get rid of It Tba question arises, Do the multi-millionaires really mean it? When Charles M. Schwab, the former' prealdent of the ateel truat, declares that all he yearns for Is the "simple lift," and that he uaed to be much hap pier In his former poor days, are euoh statements an expression of a real de sire or only the poutlngs of a depressed mind? The multt-mllllonalres are a new species In the evolution of man. Lla naeus called man Homo Sapiens. What shall we call the multi-millionaires Homo Saplentlaalmus? He himself la. aa we learn, likely to call himself Homo Inslplens. Surely a person completely ralaed above all the needs and worries of other people lives In an atmoaphere ao peculiar that he muat inevitably be come a new creature. His psychology la new, unknown, barely guessed at by himself. Hence the frequency of aelf- deceptlon among multl-mlllionalree. All his Ideas were taught him by teachers or authors who bad never met or ob served a multl-mllllonatre. Between his mentality aa a multi-millionaire and his Intellectual and emotional ma chinery aa an ordinary mortal there la a crying discrepancy. Just consider the followlnst atranare fada of some multl- mlulonalrea: Take, for lnatance, Mr. THE PUZZLING FROG f :,: . . ' .' :y; ;'' ' ' ' XJy ..we jvoai ( .

The editor stops laughing; on his brow the wrinkles grow; He cough and stammers feebly: "Since you ask me I don't know." lange .1 wo Boys Carnegie.

I f ira narveiiea tone The Pendleton Tribune, apparently presuming that some of its farmer readers are densely Ignorant or cannot think, insinuates that the pro tective tariff Is the cause, or a cause, of the high prices of farmers' prod ucts. Such farmers must be few and far between by this time, and course it would be a waste of time and space to argue with one who knowing better, persists in relterat ing this most shallow and stale party claptrap. War talk Is idle, for it takes great deal of money to carry on war and Japan couldn't get it while the United Statea could get billions There are other sufficient reasons we hope, why these two seml-clvll ized powers would not go to war but this Is sufficient, and will be for years to come. Japan Is in debt to about the limit and her actual re sources are small; she can carry on no big prolonged war for years to come. The government at Washington seems to run along just about as well when the president, the secre taries and most of the beads of the departments are away. The Taftites seem to be very much afraid that Fairbanks will capture the Christian Endeavorers. . Well, can't Taft go after the Bpworth Leaguers?

His majesty Alexander III.) was playing whist rout of his own dominion) with an English royalty as partner, and one of his equer ries with a Scottish gentleman as oppo nents. His majesty held a good hsnd. and toward the end of It said: "We have the game four by honors and the odd trick." The Scot said: "Please, your majesty, let us play the hand out." and when It was done he added: "Tour malestv made a revoke. The. enuerrv looked aghast at the boldness and the czar said: "I have never made a revoke n my life." The Scot replied: "Per haps your majesty was never told." and proceeded to turn over the tricks, and show . the revoke. The eqnerry was more aghast than ever, and the English royalty smilingly Bald: "Pardon mv friend's bluntness." The next day the csar, happening to meet the Scottish gentleman, said with a laugh: "I have been thinking over what you said yes terday about the revoke, and probably It is true I was never told."
