PEACE IHKII ALU'S A MEHICA i throbbing with thoughts of preparedness. Within a few months we have suddenly chanced from the old spirit of unpreparedness, t and with a unanimity that is over J whelming the country like a tide. 5 The change comes from the feel Inn rt (tiufiiiiirl( v a Tf n ai I w tVia lr frightful catastrophe that has bo il l fallen Europe. There are two Ideas back of the movement. The idea of one great t : group is to change the purpose for '-: X which force is u?ed. This group J would use force, not to make war, j but to make war on war and lay . the foundations of world security, j, .. ! It "Is a purpose and a wish to de ' j liver Europe out of the pit. It j I would be the effort of the new ! . world to deliver all the world from ' tho shackles of war and welter. 1 1' j Wood row Wilson Is the leader of I ' fNthis group, and he would use the vv power of tho United States to the attainment of such an end. ine iciea 01 me otner great ! group forwarding preparedness iu America la to establish here the , j models, standards and purposes on whlch force is used in Europe. To ""overrun Mexico with American ," armies, to exalt "deeds" above dl . J plomaey in our dealings with other V; J nations, to annex to America all ; J territory southward to the Panama canal, by force of arms if neces- pary, and to make the military sys- ' tern of America very like the mill - ttary systems of Europe, are mo 4 jClves and purposes which actuate fthe second great group in their demand for preparedness. Force as : tit has always been used, force in 5 tho old conventional form, force ; Jfor all that it has always stood for. is the only force they know, and it . Ms force so to be used. that they i expect from American prepared ' Iness. No Issue more momentous has -V' Sever been presented in America If The choice of Lincoln saved the . "unity of the American people. Up- on the choice America is to make ; abetween the two courses into which ! tbe might direct her preparedness, . Jdepends the momentous Issue of Jfuture tranquility or turmoil. It jis a decision oa which rests not only the Interests of America alone, t but 'a decision in which the ln i ; Jterests of Europo and the whole Jearth are bound up. If American tX)reiParene88 13 to lie ' tne same ' Jthought ns European preparedness, r, " rthe frightful catastrophe now rag ':p: ing in Europe will be but an lnci- !dent In the future use of force in Itbls world. ..; But If American preparedness Is to mean the use of force for the purpose to which President Wilson would direct it, America and all .'the rest of the world faces a new 'dispensation. If American prepar edness Is to be used as a great moral Influence against the use of force in .settling the disputes of Rations, It will be a start in deliv ering humanity from the toils In jwrhlch it has been enmeshed by the old laws of the Jungle. It would jibe a new hope for the shipwrecked 'nations and war-whelmed peoples .'.of bloody Europe. J "The sword which America ;forges will be used not - to make war but to make war on war, and .'lay the foundation of world secur ity," said Alfred G. Gardiner, dis cussing the nomination of Presi dent Wilson in the London Dally VNewB. He said of Mr. Wilson's speech before the League to En- V force Peace: t I doubt whether the world has ever V ;ieard apeechf. of more moment. .'. -.It was a speech which makes history. . Jt "will b remembered not as a speech but as an event; th opening i Jof a new chapter, not In the history of America only, but In the hlatory ; of tha civilised world. Ha haa driven his country a new mission and i 4h world a new hope. 'Tia tXTflann Iar1arari1n la a. la.jt ership for peace uber alles. I , r i. : . " 'The hopes and fears of interest ' d millions are focused on the ccm- iest of wita to take place when the Deutschland lifts anchor and makes ttie dash for the open sea. Many French and British warships will strive to take the big sub mersible, and, because of the sig nificance of the capture or escape of the great blockade runner, par tisans of both sides all over the world will look on with intense concern. THE OREGOV COPPERHEAD A' Ll that was mortal of a gal lant son of Oregon was placed within the sheltering- bosom of hla native soil yesterday and his death in a foreign land Is direct charee against the mock ery of the shallow ambition of the administration at Washington. Ore gonian. This is the voice of the Oregon Copperhead. It is the strike of the newspaper rattlesnake. The charge is directly made that Lieutenant Adair was sacrificed "to the shallow ambition" of Pres ident Wilson. No soap box orator who ever harangued on the streets of Portland was more shamelessly unjust or more blatantly seditious. Screaming for three years for armed intervention in Mexico in which thousands of American boys like Lieutenant Adair would havo been sacrificed, this newspaper rat tlesnake seizes upon a funeral to say that the gallant dead la a sac rifice "to the shallow ambition" of the nation's president. It is a copperhead attempt to make po litical capital" out of a grave, a cas ket and mourning. It is the yellow act of a newspa per Jackal that sneaks through the back door into the house of sor row and steals the vestments of the dead to parade them on the street corners for political pur poses. "The shallow ambition" of the president! It Is an ambition to keep America in peace, to keep American homes Intact, to keep American mothers from tears and sorrow, to use the power of Amer ica for world peace, to unite the Western Hemisphere in ties of con cord for lasting tranquility. The Oregon Copperhead calls that a "shallow ambition." At the moment when there are threatening complications from without, there are many manifes tations of sedition and disloyalty from within. There are manv wlio Insist that the lack of soli darity among the people would make us wak in case of foreign attack. When a newspaper that ought to be respectable is the biggest copperhead of all, what, else is to be expected than that unthinking persons will be misled and national safety be Impaired? Candidate Hughes is to be noti fied in a few days that he has been nominated. It is to be hoped that tho committee will go about it .dip lomatically and break the, news as gently as possible to avoid shock. DYNAMITE ON THE FARM w E ARE delighted to see Sen ator Lane pushing forward with the federal investiga tion into methods of clear ing stump land. The subject is timely and important. Senator Lane's valiant work along this line will bring rich results to the coun try, unless it is balked by the Gal llngers and Snaoots. We notice that these statesmen are objecting to the stump laifd investigation for economy's sake. They want to save the money to buy more puns. Killing people is a more agree able occupation for these gentry than raising food. We Join with Senator Lano in wishing to see the stump land prob lem adequately inquired into, but we are of the opinion that some facts In connection with it are as well settled as they can ever be. One Buch fact is that dynamite in some form is essential to clearing off the stumps. And dynamite at present is made and handled by a trust. The trust's monopoly is not quite complete, but it is tight enough for all practical purposes. It is so tight that competition scarcely creeps In at all. And farmers who wish to use dynamite for land clearing find its cost pro hibitive. They simply can't do it. It has come out lately that dy namite is valuable in orchard work. An old tree which fails to grow and produce fruit can be renovated by placing -small charges of dynamite at the circumference of its root system. The explosive is also in valuable in planting trees. One stick exploded where the tree is to stand loosens the soil and gives the growing rootlets a vigor which they seldom acquire in any other way. There is also good reason to be lieve that the gases from the dyna mite act as a fertilizer after the explosion. Hence trust control of this sub stance is a heavy drag upon agri culture. The passing of the Mexican war cloud brings disappointment to some of our warlike editors and curbstone patriots who were pre paring to direct it. LOST OPPORTUNITIES A COUNTRY may be said to be prepared when it has won the love of its citizens. No laws will then be needed to compel respect for the flag, because no per BOn will have any Impulse to Bhow it disrespect. There would be no need of conscription acts, because every man would defend his coun try with the same zeal that he would his own body. A country which had won the love of Its cit izens need not worry over the an- I tics of "hyphens," because It would bave no "hyphens." When a gov what of fense could have been more ernment has to pass law to compel flagrant? - the people to love It, there is Another Reed professor Is "head ground for suspicion that it has of the Oregon Civic league."

Our annual income is $35,000,- 000,000, and yet we stand flfteentU among the nations in the number of savings banks accounts, which indicates that many of us are pov erty stricken and some of us thriftless. Of ou- 20r000,000 dwellings, 14,000,000 are mort- gaced or rented. And so on Mr I Purinton writes for The Independ- j ent, which- is not a rabid magazine, j His facts point to some of tho places where our government might profitably pay attention to prepar- edneBS. By doing so, it would probably receive a. rich return in the love of its citizens. A woman writer says any one can have pretty legs by rising slow ly on the toes without bending the knees, several times each day. We may all be able to wear short skirts eventually. i STREET ACCIDENTS A CCORDING -to a report re cently made by the National Highways Protective there is a steady in the number of persons killed by automobiles, street cars and ' wagons throughout the United ' States. In New York City dur-1 . .v, oo r-iA - ing 191o there were 22,510 street , accidents, of which 659 had a 1 fatal result.

What better proof of the complete neu trality of the United States in the great conflict? COLLEGES IX CITY LIFE I N THE early days of the Oregon state university the board of re- gents in their wisdom passed a law that no member of the fae - ulty should hold a local office. The purpose was to withhold them from local politics. The regents may have supposed that politics would I Salm which Pervades places set apart Poison the faculty, or that the tC'raliM uuy wouia pomon pontics. r"er - haDS there was some eround to fear both calamities. t atnouo c-hurcn as a matter of policy Reed college acts upon a differ- ; in its dealings with the paganar-witu ent principle..

The article is j published in Bulletin, 1915, No. 38, or the United States Bureau of Education. President Fogfer says that, from the outset, "the aim has been to see that no individual in Portland should fail to gain some benefit from Reed college." The college has linked its activities with city affairs in countless ways, some philanthropic, some political, some medical, and so on. For example, "one. of the faculty was chairman of the committee of 100," which managed the prohibition campaign.

We have an argument here which we .would like to have you settle. We ' would be very thankful to you for answering: Suppose a man is standing several yards from a tree. On the free there is a squirrel. The man walks around the tree, but the squirrel keeps on the opposite aide of the tree from tha -man. Co, when the man has made a complete circle around the tree, has he walked around tha squirrel? LEO GERBER. This la one of a large class of ques tions most of which are probsfbly aa old as the inquiring human mind which can never be answered by a "yes" or a "no," because everything depends upon what la to be underttood by tb principal term In the' proolem. In tnia case, the principal term Is he phrase "walked around." Two answera j are possible: Firat. a circle includes. or surrounds all that if within it. The circle traveled by tha mar. ur rounda the tree and all that la upon It. Therefore the man walks' around the squirrel. Second, the man la traveling. On a constantly curving path, in one direction; the squirrel is . traveling, at a slower rate merely, on a constantly curving path, in tha opposite oirec tlon. They are constantly "meeting" each other, aa a man in an automobile might meet a man on foot on the high way, save that the auto and thi foot man would meet once and at oner, be gin to recede from each other. If the squirrel were assumed to be ou the aame side of the tree as the man. the problem would be the same, but in stead of "meeting," the process is one of paesing. The man, in this view. is constantly passing the squirrel, as the man in the auto passes the man on foot, and htnee he does' not walk around"' the squirrel. There are other methods of representing the second proposition. The one employed In thia answer Is probably as well lased mathematically as any of them. The Great of Ireland. Portland, July 13. To the Editor of The Journal Editorially you approve Collier's Weekly's opinion that auch Irishmen as Horace Plunkett and George W. Russell are greater and more permanent names than those of Casement, Carson or Redmond. I have heard much resentment against Col lier's for the association of Mr. Red mond's name with Carson and Case ment. In tha same issue Collier's deplores Mexican conditions and yearns for a genius to restore law and order, set tle the land question, relieve economio distress, the concession question, the tyrannous Insecurity of property rights and the peons' dreadful poverty and other crytag ills. Do you imagine that Horace Plunkett and George W. Russell could under present conditions in Mexico Improve Mexican agriculture, found coopera tive societies for dairying, organize cooperative stores and banks and teach Intensive farming, or would such things be impossible until a stable government was first founded and re forms Indicated above Introduced and enforcedT It's clear you have little informa tion of what John Redmond has done for Ireland in the past 17 years, mak ing it possible for such men as Plunk ett and Russell to take up the work that they deserve so much credit for. As for Collier's Weekly, pretty much all its readers know full well that its most interesting feature in every issue, in one way or another, is to build up a theory in one editorial and then tear it to pieces in another editorial. John Redmond's name is safe in the history of his country. J. HENXESSY MURPHY. The American German-Americans. Otter Rock, July 12. To the Editor of The Journal 1 have read with con siderable interest your editorial on the German-Americans and it doesn't seem to me you are entirely fair to them The German people are a very patri otic people at home and those that come to thia country do not come here to Germanize America except the poli ticians who are paid for that purpose but to become American cltizena and to build homes in this country. They can't be led by any political clique. They are a thoughtful people and are well enough educated to form their own opinions. I voted for Roosevelt and I will vote for Wilson because he represents practically the same things that Roosevelt did, and there are a great many more Just like me. But, however they vote, they are Americans and entirely loyal, and deprecate the methods of submarine warfare as much as any class of people In this country. T. H. HORNING. Soldiers? Portland. July 13. To the Editor of The Journal Strange, isn't it, how the worm turns? The Oregonlan has teen auch a strong advocate of war with Mexico that one cannot under stand the logic of this: "All that waa mortal of a gallant aon of Oregon was placed within the sheltering bosom of hia native soil yesterday and his death In a foreign land la a direct charge against the mockery of the h allow ambition of the administration at Washington." I'm aur a great many Oregonlan readers looked for the editor's name, his son's, or at least the names of some of their ataff as among the first to enlist. What excellent soldiers they would make, and how strengthened the army would he with such noble men In its ranks! M. c. E. A Child and a Rose. By Horace William MacNeaL Wlio, that hath glimpsed to the aoul of a child. Could aver speak crossly again? Who. that hath gazed on the heart of a rose. Could ever his wisdom profane? For the aoul of a child. And the heart of a rose. In wonder and beauty, in splendor and glory. Conceal depths that no human can grasp. Who, that hath gllmsped to the aoul of a child, could ever speak so crossly again? Who, that hath gazed on the heart of a rose. Could talk of God's wonders aa vain? For the aoul of a child. And the heart of a rose. In solace and comfort, in rapture and wisdom. Reveal heights to make mortal mind gasp. Portland. July 14. Keep Your Eye on This Man. From the New Reppblic. Lower California, according to the proclamation of Governor Esteban Cantu, will remain neutral in whatever quarrel may be impending between the United States and Mexico. It La a re markable proclamation. What should we think If Governor Johnson of Cali fornia Issued a similar proclamation of neutrality? But Cantu ia a remarkable man, one of whom we may hear much more in the futuse. in all this period of strife he has kept his state peace ful and prosperous. He haa kept his revenues good in spite of the prevail ing tendencies toward chaos, and has succeeded in keeping real money in cir. culatlon, to tha discomfiture of Ameri can Importers who ara forced to pay the heavy local export duties $100 on a mule, for example in American gold Instead of Carranzlsta faith. He has been trying in a practical way to aid in restoring general peace. We may re call In his recent Invitation to the Yaqul Indiana late- in the Villa army to come into Lower California and set tle on the public lands. It is worth noting that on the California border there is no hostility between Ameri cans and Mexicans. At Calexlco you can't arouse any interest In the ques tion of intervention. Tha local view la that Mexican affairs could not be bet ter managed than under Esteban Cantu. Ennui. From the New York World.

PERTINENT COMMENT SMALL CHANGE Americans in Mexico hav concluded that the best home is where the flag is. Anyway. Mexico can imaarine what the colonel might have done had the worst come. Viscount Brlce'sava the time is not ripe for peace, yet war condltiona over J.here seem to be overripe.

JOURNAL 77 The Hike From Will you come for a walk near the . aea? Lewis A. McArthur has told us that he thinks there are "three best trips" in Oregon. He has described two of them for th. readers of Journal Journeys to the Deechutea lakes southwest of Bend, and by pack train to Marion lake, in Santiam territory. Now comes the third the hike along the beach from Seaside to Nehalem. "Neahkahnie mountain Is one of the show places of Oregon. It has been consistently advertised as one of the most beautiful of Oregon's sccr.ic fea tures, and its fame is not unmerited. "The mountain Itself Ik not wonder ful, but the view of the Pacific ocean from the road along the face of the rocks ia probably unsurpassed in the state. The mountain is 1710 feet In elevation, and the road is about half way up, so that the sightseer is nearly 800 feet above the ocean. To the north the view is of rugged coast. To the south 1 seen the fine (.trip of beach extending as a spit toward Nehalem bay. and the extensive sand beaches farther south. a a "The Neahkahnie trip is for walkers, as the road between Nehalem atid Sea side is not open all the way for vehi cles. Starting from Seaside, the firat stretch is to Elk creek, where there are rummer hotels. The distance is about nine milea through tha beautiful timber back of Tillamook Head. Stages make the trip frequently. Then the walk is south along Cannon Beach for a distance of about 10 milea to Arch cape. On the way are two points. Hug ar.d Humbug, that may have to be climbed over if the water is high. Perfectly good trails' show the way, and the accent la easy. At Arch cape the trail divides, one being known as the Inside trail, which goes bark of Arch cape and Cane Falcon, along the route of the wagon road under con struction. The outside trail clings as close to the seashore as possible, pass ing through the arches of Arch cape, with a short climb over Cape Falcon. a a "Adjacent to Cape Falcon is one of the most renowned spots in Oregon, Short Sand beach.

(WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) Liquor advertisements still may be carried to newspaper and magazini: subscribers in dry states without molestation, protected by the com merce clause ofthe constitution. ThU was decided when the senate rejected the effort of Senator Jones of Wash ington to secure an amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, which would have forbidden the carrying of liquor advertising in the mails into any sta'te where state law forbids ad vertising of that character. There are said to be six or seven such states Washington and Oregon on the Pacific coast, Alabama and soma other states in tha south. Early in tha session Representative Abercrombla of Ala bama sought to advance aa a separata measure a bill embracing tha princi ples of tbe Jonea amendment, but tne Alabama congressman failed to make progress. (senator Hardwlck of Georgia, in charge of the postoffice appropriation bill, was Inclined to lec ture Senator Jonea for dragging the prohibition question into the postof fice appropriation bill. He maintained that in the present state of legisla tive business the bringing; in of auch questiona consurnes too much time. Jones contended that the amendment should be added to tha bill aa a meas ure of Justice to the states that do not want liquor advertisements aent to their citizens, but are helpless to prevent this being done because of the lack of federal law. He main tained that such legislation would be in line with the WTebb-Kenyon law, which applies to Interstate commerce the same rules regarding the transpor tation of liquor that the states do, giv ing effect to state lawa. After a debate lasting the most of one day, Jonea secured a majority in Two Kitchener Stories. "Girard," in Philadelphia Ledger.

General Huidekoper told me that when in Cairo a few years ago Kitch ener entertained him at luncheon. "I was impressed by his cordial manner indeed, everything about hlrn waa impressive except his eyes."

LINES IN THE SENATE favor of auspendlng tha rules to con sider his amendment, but not a two thirds majority. The vote was 86 to 28. Vice President Marshall ruled that two-thirds were required to sus pend the rules. Prom that decision Jones appealed, and the chair was sustained by 42 to 26. On the par liamentary status of the question th vice president was undoubtedly cor rect, and it occasioned little surprise that the majority in favor of suspend ing the rules melted into a minority when Jones took the unusual step of appealing from tha chair's decision. , a It waa noted in the vote on the Jonea motion that llnea were fairly well drawn between tha wets and tha drys of the senate.
