PROTECT AMERICA "I wish you might never be called upon to fire a gun again," said Presi dent Wurron G .Harding in an address dollvered to tlio officers of the Atlan tic fleet. "I would not have a peace without honor or without the con sciousness that America is right and la.' protecting every Interest." In short President Warren O Hard ing speaking for tho government of the United States asserts that while he hopes that war shall cease and great ships he junked, until such time as all tho nations of tho world meet upon this common principle of dis armament, it Is futile to stop our armament building. AVhllo ho was delivering tho speech to tho officers of tho Atlantic fleet the house of roprosentatlvos was bul wnrklng his .views with concrete ac tion. The disarmament measure in troduced by Representative Connally' of Texas which provided that tho presidont must call a disarmament conforoncu before any of the $90,000, 00 appropriated for new battleship con.:! ruction could bo used was Big niV.i dofon'.od by vote of 212 to 15. Amorlca is waking up at last. Sunt!. mont is bolng overruled by reason and etorn fact. In tlto mind of every thinking man doslro to lonvo off competitive naval building Is strong. Every thinking man knows that most of tho monoy requir ed by tho government is used to pay for past wars or to l'lnnnco futures ones. lOvory thinking man knows that tho taxes which bunion the poop'o are but reflexes of building . great battleships to junk them as obsolete In a few short years. Every thinking man shrinks from building engines of destruction. .Much rather would ho up ply tho monoy thus expended to con structive work say reclaiming land and build irrigation systems and con structing highways and developing la tent national resources, But the high ideal cannot be carried mt until tho Mine Is ilpo. It 1a all very well to want to discontinue competi tive armament building. Hut it wore veriest suicide, to flu ko 'unless other nations followed tho .same course. In a short time, the na tion which through high Ideals had stopped preparing for war would fall prey to tho greedy and avaricious na tions which continued to build war ships. The world must act as a unit In this dh:aimlng. One nation cannot act alone. Talk of disarmament is Idle unless all nations leave off tho cruel game. America cannot, must not (ult arm ing so long as other nations build uM navies . Japan, our neighbor to tho west, la entering upon the greatest carnival of warship building In her history. lint means It? Japan, tho covetous, Isn't doing this jUbt for Hie fun of the thing. Shu Is bringing herself close to bankruptcy as a direct consouuonco of building a great tluet. Her people aro reutloss as a result. Why, thou, 'la Japan building war ships? hut us calmly consider tho cuu of Japan. She Is the most ut'gresslve na tion on (he fnce of tho earth today. am h sM-rew- :iwvcmmiw jm m mm his arrival here Thursday was met by Chief Eagle Calf, of the Blackfeet Indian tribe, who insisted that Old field become one of the red-skinned tribe of the north.

Japan has taken over Korea, lulln tho country with a rod of iron. The Nipponese have sent troops into Siberia under pretext of maintaining order. Now that all is peacoful sttf does not withdraw the forces. No, she sends more many more. Japan coveted the island of Yap, a ;rait n.ival base In .the Pacific. She refuses to lot other nations have any rights upon tlio island. She wants k for her very own Does she contem plate launching a war drive from this vantage point? Japan has looked for years with de alt o upon the western coast of Amer ica. .Her people have come hero in droves and have colonized. In Itself this means little, but coupled with her other moves, tlio mntter Is truly significant. Japan is building a vast navy. It would be folly of tho worst kind for America to leave off building war ships so long as covetous Japan In creases her weapons of destruction 'All America can say with President Harding to tho fleet oi'ficors: "I wish you might novor bo called upon to firo a gun again " All America can applaud tho action of tho house in de feating a movo to bring about dis armament, before tho other nations of tho world cooporato In this groat program. HISTORICAL PAGEANT. -Much vital history was made out hero in the west. In tho old days Tho Dalles was the nal of many a man's nostra. To the ond of The Oregon trail ho sought to win through, in his winning through oftentimes ho had to exorcise rare skill and courage and sacrifice. Tho old days may have been rough days, ot they were fraught with de cency and gondmws and fair-dealing it was a time when men were strong and women nervy. Our present state of development Is largely attribut able to the hardy pioneers who laid he foundations for our very charao ors, who certainly bulldod tho strong material foundations of this commut; Ity. Hut the old west when Tho Dalles was the ond of tho Oregon trail N Bono. Its romanco and Its legend is oolng forgotten. Its wholesoinenoas Is being overlooked. With a view to Impressing Its sin nlflcanco upon UJ, Wlth a view to Riv ing all of us a glimpse of Its romance Its courage demanding situations, Us spectacular clash, good with bad, a historical pageant has boon Innugur .Uod In this city wherein tho old west will live agalp the ploneor episodes of Its life. Wo shall all bevonio bottor no jualnted with tho Dr. Whitman party, vlth Missionary Spauldlng, with Mrs, Whitman and Mrs. Spauldlng. Wo hall learn to know Dr. McLaughlin, 'uthur Do Smol uml the Hudson's Ray 'oinpany officials. Prom actual pre sentation we shall learn of the Lew is and Clark expedition. The historic Importance of the old Fort Dalles Mil Itary post will be Impressed upon u by pretty drama, The Ninevah Ford emigrant' train shall toll creaklngly and wearisomely over rutty roads to play its part in the early west. Joe Meek will trade again. The traditional story of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams, young gods who fell in love with Mt. St. Helens will be told in pageantry. I Thus tho old west will bo revived. ! Thus the romance days when this 1 land was young will be ' lived over j again. It is well. Tho old west stands for high type manhood and. womanhood and any thing which focuses our thoughts up on such standards works good to u&. It is to be hoped that this histori cal pageant to be given May 27 will be made a permanent, annual insti tution In this community ranking with tho Pendleton Round-up and the Portland Ro3e carnival in state-wide ! appeal. o 38 CENTS OFFERED.

Then ho disappeared. Finally he was lo cated and the proposition of payment was put up. to him. Ho whined and sniveled. He said that he couldn't pay. His finances were wrecked. Oh, he'd a like iver so much to pay. He admit ted that he owed the bill. When he feared that his homo and hlu possessions would bo snatched lrom him by the man to whom ho owed tlio bill, ho made a proposition to .pay in part the bill he admitted owing.
