Duty of This Country in SeuxanOi&a;
Abolition of Warfare Declared to
Be Manifest.
Business men stood withbowed
heads when at the Rotary cluft lunch
eon in the Benson hotel yesterday. Dr.
John H. Boyd, chairman of the day,
led" a prayer for world peace. They
rang together "America" and listened
to selections by the Congregational
choir, then to an address by Rev.
Frank I. I,oveland, pastor of the First
Methodist church, whose subject waa
"Universal Peace" and who said, in
part: '
A world in which there Is no war, la
. tho ideal world. Prophets and Beers,
from lwaiah and Paul to Victor Huko
and Ivo Tolitttol have dreamed and
prayed for a time when wa'r should be
no more.
"When the war drums throb no longer
r And the battle flags are furled
In the Parliament of Man.
The Federation of the World."
I believe in this cOmfng universal
peace. Humanity by divine help Will
work the nubsoll out of It system ana
become less and less like the beast,
and more and more like God. This
must be or the very creation of human
ity was a piece of colossal idiocy.
Some Insist that such, an ideal of
world peace is a delusion, with no
more foundation than the "baseles3
fabric of a dream." They tell us that
wars always have been, therefore al
ways will b that men must fight as
well as labor to exist that war will
never cease so long as "two men are
left on earth with a crust of bread, a
piece of money and a woman between
them."
War Belle of Barbarism.
With wise shakings of the head we
are Informed ttfctt man is naturally a
flKlitlnur animal that he love War as
he does money and women, that war
drum and explosives are In his brain,
that battles boll in his blood, that by
heredity he Is a warrior, that warpaint
is his favorite color, that he instinc
tively reaches for the tomahawk and
butcher knife; tliereforo war will co
exist with the race.
Such Ideas belong to the ago of the
ona m ouriiartur". i nev are Delated.
They belong to the carboniferous era

tianity are InejHting upon unitv. By
consent of all nehools of thought this
universe 1ms one history and one des

are all one- injury to any part is
harmful to the whole. Kven religlon
lnts and theologiaiiH are now compelled
to admit that God is not local. Our
universities, our seminaries, our com

or war as a racial necessity of the
future.
America must accentuate the altru

peace. The heart of humanity is cry

The $1500 home tax exemption meas
ure to be voted upon next month is
receiving the -unanimous support of
small home owners and workingraen
throughout the entire state. How some
or them feel toward it is shown in
the following -.statements:
E. K. Southard, Fortieth and Powell
street, a printer I helped secure si
natures to this $1500 home tax exemp
tion measure, and am proud of being
one of the volunteer force that made
it No. 326 on-the, ballot. I have no
doubt of its being a benefit to every
small home owner, and thereby to the
entire community. I have a little house
and lot, and such a measure would
greatly encourage me to make further
improvements on my property. I also
reel that if any small owner's proD
?riy escapes assessment on account
of this measure, that such amount
will come nowhere near counterbalanc
ing the amount which now escapes tax
ation entirely, such as bonds, mort
gages and money in and out of hanks.
and other personal, property which is
not in any sense patent to the eye of
tne assessor.
K. O. Rector, 975 Gladstone avenue,
contractor and. carpenter This would
certainly help the small home owner.
The workingman never has much prop
erty that can be concealed from the
assessor. I can't see why a small
home owner or workingman would be
opposed to it under any circumstances,
it is a notorious fact that the wealthy
do not pay in proportion as compared
to the small home owner. This meas
ure would equalize the burden. I will
pay taxes next year on lots valued by
the assessor at $1325 and improve
ments 8750. As I will get 100 per cent
exemption on the improvements and
cannot have more than one-sixth added
to my land taxes, "it is only a matter
of a little figuring to discover that
I will be ahead several dollars if
this measure passes.

Electrical workers are almost unani-1
mously in favor of the passage of
this measure, foe we feel satisfied that
It is the best piece of legislation for
the masses ever proposed in Oregon
it sure is. The Journal , will deserve
the gratitude of the people if it aids
to secure the home exemption amend
ment. J. L.. Ledwidge, business man Any
one in ' sympathy with the working
people cannot but sympathize with
this home exemption measure. It will
help every line of business in the city,
and make a demand for every kind of
labor. My business brings me in
contact with working people every day
and nearly all the time. They are
going to vote for it, and I believe and
hope it will carry.

How the European war will benefit I
the American fur industry and. how
incidentally it is now making furs
cheaper than ever before to American
consumers, is pointed out by J. P.
Plagemann of H. Uebes & Co., fur
riers of Portland and San Francisco,
who has just returned from a trip to
the Golden Gate. Mr. Plagemann
went to San Francisco to inspect the
season's stocn of raw rurs recently
brought into that port by the Liebes
whaler Jeanette.
."America now has an opportunity to
forge to the fore as the leading fur
manufacturing nation of the world,"
said air. Flagemann yesterday. Rus- j
sia has been the chief rival or the
Pacific coast manufactories, but that
nation is now torn by war and she has
been forced to withdraw from the ac
tive market.
'Ho Russian Ships Sent Berth. j
"None of tier ships were sent north
this summer, and because of this fact
her fur supply win be decreased for
the next two years. "With the Rus
sians eliminated from the field . the
entire output of the world must come
from Pacific coast producers.
"Few realize the importance or pro
portions of the Pacific coast fur in
dustry. Yet furs are Shipped from
here each year to the east and to Eu
rope, even invading the territory of
the Russians.
"The Liebes company alone sends a
fleet to Arctic waters every year for
furs and whales. Pacific coast food
stuffs and supplies are taken north
to be traded for furs and in exchange
are received skins of" the white fox,
red fox, blue fox, silver fox, black
fox. mink, marten, land otter and po
lar bear.
Oversnpply of Furs Expected.
"Brought to Portland. and San Fran
cisco, they are turned into garments
by the hands of skillful workers, and
thus furnish employment to many.
"Never in the history of the fur
industry was such a catch brought
into port as that aboard the Jeanette.
"Under normal conditions the qual
ity and quantity of such a splendid
collection would open wide for us the
market of the great European centers
and we should have done a great tmsi
ness. But "unfortunately this war
makes it impossible .for us to ship
our products and all our skins musttbe

supply will naturally mean low prices
