Men of first rate ability have .almost always preferred the publie service to money grubbing They have been kept out of It ' la, the United SUtes often by our' groundless Jealousy of merit. . " - Now that the stress of the war has compelled us to give them an op portunity to serve we find them as eager to do so as any Pericles or Pitt or Washington. - The silly fibel that men of great ability will not work for anything but money can hardly survive the .experience of the war. The greed that some of our monled magnates exhibit in positions of trust Is more a matter of habit. than of Innate passion. Used to grabbing every thng in sight ' the half uncon sciously pluck the government as they have the public A little-stern discipline seems to have reformed most of them.

Competition by stock growers at such shows is a stimulating Influence in the production of better stock, and better stock means a better country. WHY THEY DID IT 1 rT IS easy to blame the Russians for withdrawing from the war. It is not so easy to understand the reason why they did it. Were we to lose seven million soldiers, as they did, we should be better able to sympathize with them. 'We shall have no such losses, for our commanders will not betray us as the czar's generals betrayed his subjects. And if it should be our lot to lose whole armies at once, as they did, we 6hould not break under Harvey. 111.; Nt Btnn and Mil ford. conn.: Newport. K. I.; Jtuncte. Ind.;. WUmlnaton.

What I do is to aid in the expansion of credit with the result of inflation and rise of prices. It is of course better to subscribe for Liberty bonds with borrowed money than not to subscribe at all. For the evils of Inflation and high prices are less than would attach to the failure of the government to obtain the money it needs. I shall, however, be of the great est neip 10 roe government lr i econo mise In ray expenditures and give what i save, x may not be able to save aulck ly enough to meet the government's Im mediate needs.

In these times tt may also be said that he who saves accomplishes a double purpose. On the one hand he discourages the making of things which are for the moment unnecessary. On the other, he furthers the production of what is needed, and at the same time in creases the means in the way in which they can be most advantageously in creased for the purchase of the things immediately needful. Economy by the rich and devotion of their savings to the purchase of govern ment loans will not be sufficient. If w are to free the labor necessary for the production of the things needed In the war. and If we are to secure the funds wherewith to pay for these things, the great mass of people must economise. The Influential and the well-to-do, how. ever, can' by saving do much greater good than Is the direct result of their personal economy. They se.t an example for the less fortunate. Self-sacrifice and self-denial are contagious. The fashion of economy will be set by those whose Influence Is the" most far reaching and will in time find many imitators.

This la the con- now old enough to have established, not onlv that certain conditions must oe Dresent. but also that certain other con ditions must be absent. The oil selling companies will seldom discourage any one from spending his money and that of his friends In drilling a new field. If he succeeds they wUl have more oil to refine and sell; If he falls they have not lost anything. These remarks are not discouraging, but in the Interest of sane methods. If proper.

It will be a distinct gain, in tne meantime, a large section of the state. lying In Lake and Harney counties, has had careful study and. much test work, and has been found to be a petroleum bearing field with all conditions favor able. Nothing lies between the people of Oregon and a great oil wealth but the creation of a fund to drill wella. If the Oregon consumers of oil would give one half of 1 per cent of their monthly oil bills to a drilling fund, one or two wells could be drilled every month In the year with this fund. J. C. TURNET. lr LOOK upon - the rural ' church together with -.the school , and the farm as : the strategic fac tors in country life." If we san make them all active we can re build our decaying rural communl ties. None of the three can reach its best . possibilities alone. Each depends upon ;the others. Hence The Journal feels equally interested "in Church, school and farm, whatever tends to strengthen them strengthens the nation's morale and fits us for the duties both of war and peace. It Is from the country that 'our cities have always been fed with their best human material. Let rural life degenerate permanently and the marrow of the country ' is gone. It is for these'' reasons that The Journal delights to witness -the vigorous new I work of the county agricultural agents.

Wash.. June . To the Editor of The Journal It is evident that many contuse the history of the battle of Copenhagen. 1801. with that of the seisure of the Danish fleet, 1807. And not Infrequently Is Nelson's name men tioned In connection with these two incidents. Nelson did serve, under Ad mlral Hyde, in the battle of Copenhagen ; In fact, it waa during this action that he placed hla telescope to his sightless eye in order to avoid .seeing Hyde signalling him to withdraw from the fight. But Nelson died two years prior to the cap ture of Denmark's fleet. The battle of Copenhagen was an outcome of the coalition of the "north era powers". In 1800. The capture of Denmark's ships waa a reply to the agreement between ' Emperor Napoleon and Alexander of Russia, known as the treaty of Tilsit (the raft treaty) In 1807. The aim of this treaty was frus trated through the sagacity of George Canning of Monroe Doctrine fame. Can ning was then secretary' of state for foreign affairs, for the United Kingdom. J. HAROLD. tention, of Professor Irving Fisher of Tale university, president of the Amer ican Association lor Labor Legislation. Enumerating these instincts, he places self-preservation at the bead of the list. He says, however, that while the pay envelope la one matter of fundamental Interests It la not the whole considera tion In a man's life; that we have harped too much on that one string. We must have also the means for sat tafylng the other fundamental Instincts, for self-expression, for workmanship, self-respect and respect for others, self sacrifice or heroism, love, bomemaklng and the,lnstihfct of loyalty. The theory that piecework will solve the labor dis content, because when a man works longer by that system he earns more money, Professor Fisher brands as a de lusion. At first he did not understand. he says, what appeared strange to him. the objections of the laboring men to this system. He says now, however, that, a system of labor which tries to get more work out of a man simply by holding out more pay In hla envelope is like the method of trying to get more speed out of a donkey by tying a bunch of bay over bis bead; that a man who la able to satisfy only the one instinct for preserving his life Is still hungry and thirsty to satisfy other fundamental cravings.

He says be would be discontented under such cir cumstances ; that he would not give up his own work, which be loves and which gives him Immense pleasure and satis faction In an all round way, for some toll that waa monotonous to him "for $1,000,000 a minute" (although he did net confess that perhaps he could be Induced to do It for a few minutes). He indorses the Wolf system of labor employment, whereby various instincts are brought into play. A man's work on some minute division of labor ia made Interesting by a system of charts, by which he Is able to watch the product of -his own efforts, to take pride in it, and to see Its relation to the factory output as a whole. "If we examine the misfits of life, Professor Fisher says, "those who fill our hospitals. Insane asylums and our prisons, we: will find that they are made up of people who have not been able to satisfy all, or possibly any, of those fundamental Instincts." He- believes that when Industry offers men an op portunity to more - completely satisfy them labor discontent will diminish, and that mental and physical health will Improve.

Looks Like Graft ' man the Catvanta Gasetta-TisMe ' A couple of men cam to Corvauis the other day over tbe Pacific' highway from California. - One of them waa a New Tork man and one haa hla home la San Francisco. They came to visit Cor- vail la people and Incidentally fish on tha McKensie, Tha. New Tork man la not used to tha open air and bis doctor told him to take with him some sttmu lant. When tbe party crossed the Ore gon line, however, his health would have been better without the stimulant. They had scarcely gotten across, he says. when -three men stepped out from the roadside and ordered them to stop. One displayed an officer's star and asked if they bad any intoxicating liquor with them. Tbe New York man replied that be did and fished out of bis pocket about half a pint of whiskey. This the trio confiscated and informed the trav elers that they would have to appear in justice court or pay a fine then and there for violating the prohibitory law The New Yorker waa In a hurry and asked what the fine would be. The law miniona aald It would be $11. The New Yorker dug it up. They were then permitted to drive on.' and after pro ceeding a few hundred feet they gased back and saw the three dividing among them the "fine. This gave the travel ers a very poor opinion of the Oregon law, and of its 'method of enforcement. But they bad another shock coming. When bis party arrived somewhere near the Cany on vi He road, they found the going pretty bad. At one place, his horsepower Pierce -Arrow was unable to make a rod or so of muddy chuck boles. but thenr found a farmer there waiting if milt I thatnr ant wit Vl hla taam fne IS At another place tbe road waa ao bad that It bad been necessary to take down a fenee on one side of the road and go across a field for a distance of about 60 feet. Machlnea bad been going this way and the owner of tba field was there and collecting tolls to tha extent of $3 a car. which- tbe disgusted trav eler could pay or get stuck la -the mud and take a chance on getting out.

A noted veterinarian says: "Tired aa a horse may be, he ts an animal very shy about lying down. I have known instances where stable men declared that the horses in their charge had never been known to take a rest in that manner, but always slept standing. In some of these instances the animals were constantly under hu man watchfulness day and night, and In other cases the conclusions were arrived at because no marks of the bedding . were ever found upon their coats. I now recall an Instance of a horse that stood In a stall near the entrance of a livery stable. No one ever Saw that animal lying down within a period of 13 years, and he finally died standing.' It is a theory only a vague supposi tion that a horse sleeps standing be cause be fears that Insects or mice may creep up his nostrils. It is also known that the elephant has the same horror of mice. A mouse In the bay at a circus will cause every elephant in the collec tion to hold his trunk aloft, plainly indi cating that they fear the little creature may take refuge In that orifice. But to return to horses: It has al ways been said that they "sleep with one eye open," and are constantly on guard. An Indian shod In cottton felt moccasins, practicing all the sly arts of bis people, could not, with the wind In his favor, approach a sleeping horse without being detected. No odds bow weary a horse may be, bis ears are con stantly turning and twisting, so that their funnels may catch the slightest unusual noises. Old Ed Ilowe's Opinion of Folks "We are all a bad lot." says YA Howe, 'out the workers are the best of a bad lot. I speak of the average man. and tbe average man haa a reasonably good Job, pays his debts, maintains e, family, educates bis children and man age, to save something. It is from tha homes of the average men that come tho boys who distinguish themselves, and make the big successes which irritate us all so much.
