These are three problems that the arms deleeates will be compelled to overcome If the conference Is suc cessful.

And how can ac ceptable Japanese expansion be in sured except by agreement of the nations? How can the conference , reach any conclusion except by 1 agreement, and how can an agree ment be reached unless the United States asifumes her part in any plan to protect France, to keep the seas .; open, and to provide for Japanese expansion? ' The world was ready for an arms conference and more two years ago. The plan. was drawn., the machinery established, and every big nation ;ni earth agreed to It except the ' United States. That plan' would have gone far toward ending war and It would have reduced the tremen cTbus armament burden. It would have gone far toward alleviating many of th economic difficulties . i that the world Is in today, along with the mtwery that grows out of them. t But that plan was defeated because a small group would not permit the , United States to discharge its obliga tions nnder the terms of the agreement. A similar attitude now will de feat the purposes of the coming con ference.

The town is judged by its home paper. Much of the effect of a hand some town hall or pretentious school building is lost if the town paper is in poverty. The effect of both is heightened and the general tone of the community Is advanced if the home paper is sprightly, alert and prosperous. The town paper will very largely be what the town wills it to be. Gen erally speakiwef. the editor is the hardest working man in the com munity. He is invariably doing his part to make his" paper barometer the town as thrifty, wide awake and on the map. If the townspeople do a fraction of what they should in the way of support, he will make his pa per an intelligent and highly re spectable representative of the com munlty. their part, the paper will do morea than any other one thing to give the town standing at home and abroad. As every newspaper man knows one of the first things done by those in dixtant states who are looking for a new location is to send for the town paper. Such applications come in numbers the years through to every town newspaper. The appear ance of the paper, its signs of thrift or poverty, largely determine wheth er the applicant will ever see your town. No agency does so much for the community and gets so little back as a well conducted town news paper. Much Is asked of it, and little bestowed. The man who wants free i publicity and gives nothing back in advertising besieges all newspapers, especially the home paper. The mail overwhelms the town paper with all kinds of copy with the request that it be inserted free and marked copies sent. Stock shows, horse shows, county fairs. church fairs, school fairs, world fairs, June festivals, health commit tees, charity committees, develop ment committees, promotion com mittees, publicity committees, gen eral welfare committees and every other kind of fair, show, exposition and committee, shower the editor with requests for free space, for edi torials, always holding out as re muneration the assurance that it is for the good of the community. never realizing that white paper has to be paid for in money, that printers must be paid and that newspapers cannot subsist on hot air In no other activity In the world is there so much endeavor to get some thing for nothing as is carried on with the newspapers. No activity in the world gives so much to the public gratis and gets so few thanks back. The thing has gone so far that much of the public holds it to be the duty of a newspaper to support every and any public proposition that seems in Kome remote way to promise some public benefit, carrying their view almost to a sort of public ownership of the policy and plant of the paper. For all the boosting of the com munity, for all the constructive agl tatlon, for all the struggle for re form, for all the appeals in behalf of public movements, for all the free notices, free insertions and free ex ploitatlon. many in the town expect in return to lay a few flowers on the defunct editor's graVe and let it go at that. No servitor Is more faithful and devoted, no citizen more sincere and but few figures in the community so generous as is the average town newspaper man. Federal -Judge Wolverton's recent decision says very sharply that to use the words milk, butter, creamery, churn, cheese, cow or dairy In con nection with an advertisement, a cow must be the source of the product advertised. Under the Oregon law, even a picture is unallowable in ad' vertising dairy products unless bossy was right there at the beginning. KAROLYI'S CURSE son and knows1 better the lines of that fierce curse pronounced upon his - great-uncle, Francis Joseph, when, in 1859 and 1860. his hench man. Haynau, was butchering men and flogging women in Hungary be cause they resisted national efface ment. Countess Karolyi, whose son was a victim, cried out against, the young emperor: "May Heaven and Hell blast his happiness! May his family be. ex terminated! May he be smitten in the -persons of those he loves! May his life be wrecked, and may his children be brought to ruin." Here "are the chief items in seem ing fulfillment of that curse: Maxi milian, the emperor's brother, shot to death by a firing squad in Mexico, and his widow, Charlotte of Belgium, driven insane by that tragedy; Crown Prince Rudolph, the emperor's only son, a suicide, with his mistress, and the mystery never officially cleared; a sister of the empress burned to death in a fire at Paris; Archduke jonn or xuscany, taking the name John Orth, staging a dramatic dis movement "is one of the .reassuring signs. ' ''-.':'-" ',.')' ! Nobody yet knows whether self- governntent Is to endure and whether the civilization of the white race is to survive. Civilizations very like our own are being uncovered ' by the excavators many fathoms deep un der the debris of the ages. i The. late war so weakened Europe that, if the colored races of Asia saw fit to strike now as they struck in earlier centuries, white civilization beyond the Atlantic would, many observers believe, be submerged un der the overflow of yellow and brown peoples. The survival of white civilization rests solely on superior intelligence. The industrial system which so many mistaken people denounce is one of the bulwarks of Caucasian civilization. That system rests on the greater enlightenment and the better trained' factors that are en gaged in it, including particularly the workers. A widespread and all embracing educational system is the basic underworks in the structure. If free government is not to perish from the earth, it will be because every agency is invoked for the training and higher development of the mass. xne unautauqua - lyceum move ment is open to every group and form of national life. It covers every phase of training from mere enter tainment to the discussion of tech nical subjects requiring the services of nationally known experts. How tremendous a force the move ment has come to be is indicated by the fact that some of the mep in the institution have reduced -it to a non-profit basis. They hold it to be too important as an educational in stitution to be commercialized. This is true of the Ellison & "White courses, the headquarters of which is in Portland, but which embraces Lmost of the western states and ex tends as far south as Texas and Louisiana. A board of trustees supervises the fiscal end and guarantees that com mercialism shall not enter into the affairs of the great institution. It is .planned the season tioketholders shall ultimately select the trustees, reducing the system to the highest practicable status of democratiza tion. While racial traits count, the dif ference between America and less fortunate nations is largely a differ ence in educational forces. THE VALUE OF SERVICE J Business Solemnly Warned That Its Appropriation ot Fine Wort Will Be Unavailing Unless It Takes Over With It " Also the Spirit Which That Word Has Carried Real Service Not Express ible in the Language of the Cash . Register. COMMENT AND NEWS IN' BRIEF If you don't believe a stock show is a thrilling affair make a visit to North Portland this week. The great assemblage of beautiful animals there is part of a splendid drama of appearance with the intention of development. staging an equally dramatic reap pearance "when Austria needs me," but supposed to have perished by shipwreck off Cape Horn; King Lud wig of Bavaria, insane, the empress' cousin, and Count Ludwig of Irani. husband of the empress' sister, both THE BUSINESS PASTOR NONE realizes more than the min ister hliTiKelf that the demnnda upon him have radically changed. He is expected nowadays to be a From the Chicago Post. The word '"service" has been'lifted out of its one time altruistic setting and boldly appropriated by business as a commercial asset. We learn from the textbooks which have been written to teach the modern young man how to succeed that is to say, how to acquire wealth that service is a commodity having a high market able value. AH the periodical literature Inspired by the magic word "efficiency" iterates and reiterates the importance of service as ari indispensable element in dealing with the public which has money to spend. Service is advertised for sale, together with soap and sox. tires and talcum powder. a a a . Before business awoke to the salable value of service the word had acquired a peculiar dignity and significance in its use by men and women who were devoting their lives to work in behalf of their fellows. It meant help given to those whose only claim was need, ana from whom there was no expectation of any? direct return. It had in it the sacred thought of fellowship, the obli gation of the strong to help the weak. There was a glory to the word which illuminated the lives of those who took it for a rule of conduct. Business appreciated this. It has de rived advantage from it. There are times when we encourage ourselves' in the hope that its recognition of the value of service, contains a sufficient tincture of altruism to mark a stage in the conversion of business from the pagan consideration of profit as the su preme goal, to the Christian viewpoint that its ultimate justification must be based upon its contribution to human welfare. This hope will be realized, however, only in the measure in which the idea of service in business and industry re tains its original significance. There is a subtle danger that men may take' credit for virtue based upon a service which is already paid for in dollars and cents. And this danger is 6trongly em phasized by the frequently repeated re mark, "Service pays." Around this phrase a new gospel, is being preached and practiced which rings with the note of the cash register rather than the music of heaven. "I came not to be served, but to serve, and to give My life." said Jesus. It is from this conception of service the conception of a life given that the word gains its true value and be comes mightiest among words which have moved men. It seems to us this fact needs reemphaais today. Business may treat service as a commodity ; the business man may make the most of his discovery that it pays to be cour teous, prompt, considerate and to go a little farther than the contract reauires but business and the business man are fooling themselves if they think that salable service is the genuine article and they are cheating themselves if they tninK ure adequate reward for real serviceman be entered in figures on their ledgers. - SMALL CHANGE "Gas company's rise Is rapid."

His study, with its filing cases The value of service, understood as Jesus understood it, lies first in the fact that it helps a man to find the best that is in "him, and second in the fact that .it makes a man a partner with God. - In other words, it gives to life its fullest meaning and jts highest possible ieiiowsjjip. it opensfthe way to an ex perienoe of satisfaction and a realization of power such as all. the w ealth of the world cannot command.

Y.. and was given its first trial trip 9a years ago. During: the previous year Peter Cooper, the New York phi lanthropist, had constructed a locomotive at his iron works near Baltimore. This locomotive, called the "Tom Thumb." was tried on the Baltimore &. Ohio rail road, but it was too small to have much practical value. A locomotive was im ported from England in 1823 and served as a model for the American builders, although it was itself a failure. Sev eral years passed after the successful test of the "Best Friend" before loco motives were very widely used on the few American railroads. These roads were owned by the slate and any, person owning a car and locomotive rrfight have use of the tracks. This condition of affairs did not last Ion?, and the rail roads passed into the control of pri vate corporations, which owned the lines as well as the locomotives and rolling stock.

It is a great educational . move ment. It is one of the powerful forces for human advancement. It coordinates perfectly .with the public schools, the colleges and the univer sities. The great growth of the groups is the order of the day. Sermons are most popular when shortest. But will all this machinery spread religion - faster and farther than the kindling flame of zeal? The record -of the churches will answer. Uncle Jeff Snow Says This idee of restorin' nations to lib erty's all right in a gineral way, but it can be shoved too fur entirely. Some body wants to restore to liberty the people of that double-jinted county in France that Germany and France fit two wars over, and the way to do it, so some highbrows figgers, is to restore it to Germany. Down in Wilson county, Texas, about the time Gineral Hancock was the idol of the Democratic party, a certain colored gentleman was in Jail and mighty anxious to stay there. Some lawyer got busy and got out a writ of have us corpus; and in spite of that col ored gent's nrotestin' to Jedge Tucker that he didn't want to be any kind of a corpus, the jedge granted him his liberty and the sheriff forced him outer Jail right into the hands of 200 hollerfn' white men with seven stout ropes a-waitin' in hand. A Kansas farmer's daughter got neuralgia while visiting in Chicago and went for treatment to a dentist. Before the affair ended several of her teeth had been plugged with platinum fillings and Pa had been presented with a bill for $3000. The dentist says he is going to sue and the farmer tells him to go to it.; It all comes from the city belief that all farmers are in the millionaire class.

A stone found re cently weighs over 20 karats In the rough and Is estimated to be worth $10, 000. A total of 4S karats was obtained from 100 loads of material from the same mine. At this rate, we have here an American diamond mine paying commercially. It Is a notable thing. The news attracts almost universal at tention! People are interested In dia monds. And yet diamonds have little intrinsic value. They are mostly ob jects of vanity, and vanity means lit erally "emptiness." ' It is of infinitely more importance, and should be of infinitely more interest, to know that the date palm has been In troduced successfully on a commercial scale in the southwestern corner of the United States. It is of Infinitely more importance that pecans and English wal nuts are being grafted on native black walnut stock and acclimatized as tar north as the Great Lakes. Every new berry or improved potato produced by Burbank and . other ' experimenters ; is worth more than all our diamonds will ever amount to. . A phosphate or nitrate mine in Arkansas would be wsrtaw wtula, Frederic Remington knew the Old West. A day or bo ago I ran across a book of his entitled "Done in the Open." It is a collection of his drawings of cowboys, Indians, soldiers, scouts and other frontier characters. There Is a brief introduction by Owen Winter. He speaks of the present generation know ing George Washington from the paint ings made of him daring his life, and of our knowing what Oliver Cromwell looked like, but. he continues, "though you know the face of Geortre Washing ton, do you krfow the look and bearing of the private soldier he led into bat tle? Have you a picture of the Conti nental soldiers, say, at Valley Forge? Could you tell how a sergeant In Wash ington's army looked, as distinguished from a private? Remington, with his piercing and imaginative eye, has taken the likeness of the modern American soldier and stamped It upon our minds with a blow as clean cut as is the im pression of the American eagle upon our coins from the mint. He has made these soldiers of ours universal cur rency, a precious and historic possession. How much more rich the past would be for us If various Remingtons, escb in his day, had handed down such work, so that we could visualize the long-gone faces of the soldiers of the past. Rem ington has pictured the Red Man as no one else, to my thinking, has pictured him. He haa Hold his tragedy. He has made us see at every stage this race which our race has dispossessed, begin ning with Its primeval grandeur and ending with its squalid degeneration un der the influence of our civilization. Remington has also recorded the white man who encountered the Red Man re corded this man in every stage, from dignity to sordid squalor. Pioneers, trap pers, cowboys, miners, prospectors, gam blers, bandits the whole motley rout goes ineffably into Remington's pages. Remington Is more than an artist ; he is a national treasure." a a As I read Wister's tribute to Reming ton, the draughtsman, historian and poet, I could not but be reminded of a talk I had with A. Phimtater Proctor, the American sculptor, a week or so ago. He It was who. at the world's fair at Chicago, made 'The Mounted Cowboy," in heroic slse. the first of this type ever made. He also made the mounted In dian warrior, as well as bears, elk. moose and cougars that attracted such universal attention and were so widely commented upon and commended. a a "Mine is an ancient art." said Mr. Proctor. "Did you ever stop to think that the oldest records of civilization were made by my fellow-sculptors? Long before the Egyptians made their carv ings on the pyramids.' the old cave dwellers were carving pictures of the giant elk. the wild boar and the saber toothed tiger on the walls of their caves. What we know of the beauty and art of the ancient Greeks is due to the statues dug up In the ruins of their once populous cities. a a a "I know and love the West. I hope that when Portland holds its fair in 1925 the money raised will not be spent in flimsy structures that will have ts be torn down after .the fair is over. I hope that a quarter of a. mill I on dollars can be raised to leave In permanent form the record of the Old West, the West that you and I and other West erners know. ; the West that ' will soon be but a -memory. I hope there will be made for the. fair. In bronze or marble, figures in heroic slse-of our prospectors, packers, pony express riders, scouts, trappers, mountain men,-and other types of pioneers who helped convert the Old West into- the West of today the men who turned the land of promise Into a land, of fulfillment. r , - ... a a a The heroic characters of the Old West srs so ' near to us that we - do not realise how. really great they were. Take, for example. Til TaylofJ tat long sheriff of Umatilla county. He Is worth an epic poem. He should be per petuated In bronze, so that when future generations come to the Round-L'p he shall not be a dim and dying memory, but shall stand forth, tn bronze. In heroic size as his friends knew him In lire. Me win typify to cominr fenera tions the modesty, the courage and the reaourcexuiness of the men of the Old West. a a a "I have killed and peddled elk meat for a living, hunted grlsslles. prospected, taken part in county seat wars and lived in the atmosphere of the Old West end I hate to see the romance of It pass away unrecorded. Portland can do s big and a fine thing by making a per manent record of the pioneer types, most of whom have taken the long trail and now live only in the memories of those who themselves will soon follow the sunset trail over the Divide," a a- Here is the spirit of the Old West as expressed by Theodore Roosevelt: The only safety In our American life lies In spurning the accidental distinctions which sunder one from another and In paying homage to each man only be cause of what he essentially Is, in strip ping off the husk of occupation, of po sition, of accident, until the soul stands forth revealed, and we know the man only because of his worth as a man." a a a Charles Badger Clark Jr.. cowboy and poet snd son of an army chaplain. In terprets the spirit of the Old West In the following poem, which he has en titled "Goodbye, Old Forty-five": Tb trails are safe; oM foes fnrtat: Wa'ra ahook tha law nf run aaal atirk Tb West baa tamed from blmd to sweat And pat be ftrhan' airrnsth to work: And sow. with outlaw, bra snd seont.
