The almighty dollar looks larger than ever with the Nipponese. They are commercial to the last degree, and think a good time to make hay is when the sun it out.- Los Angeles Times. ;". The above is unjust. It is not true. That is, the conclusions are not true. , The Japanese are hard workers and thrifty; but they are also idealists ; lovers of beauty ; lovers of justice. The young men of Japan have all along wanted to get into this war, on the side of world democracy. The leaders of that nation are now telling the world that is fighting German military autocracy that it is time for Japan to in tervene in Russian affairs, to protect the Pacific ocean against the possibility of having it made a German ocean, They are ready to fight, on land and sea. Ahd they are prepared, to the last ounce of energy and the last man, for the supreme sacrifice. No nation is better prepared. The present indicationsare that Japan will be given a free hand, and that she will go it alone in protecting Siberia against the en croachments of the German military: autocracy. This will give Japan her opportunity of asserting the Monroe Doctrine C;f the Orient. She is fully able. J i Vologda, a city, of 8(0,000 people, 375 miles east of Petrograd, is to be the American diplomatic headquarters in Russia, "until the situation in that country clears."! That may make the stay of Mr. Francis a long one in Vologda. i - , , t ? ;;V Our soldier boys are getting into the thick; of it and they are giving the Huns "a run fbr their money." ! , v .

Los Angeles Times. The fight for the toga of the late Senator Paul Husting has commenc ed In Wisconsin. There are two things for . the voters to remember at the primary. , The first is thai they vote for a Republican, the othe see. to it that he the direct an tithesis of Senator La Follette. Los Angeles Times. t That Is In fact the right in Wisconsin; And It is a great fight. The kind of an army America bar was shown in the origin of the four soldiers who carried and guarded the colors of the 306th regiment In the New York city parade Washington's birthday. . The. sergeant who bore the stars and stripes was Edward Mueller born of German parent. , and the sergeant who held the regl mental ; flag , was Robert Bonaven .tnre", an American of French descent' The color guards were Private Franv McCarthy and Private John Gralen skL who announces that he is going to ' fight until Poland is free. 'Apprehension concerning Ameri temptation to drink Is dispelled by the statement prepared by the Brit ish? government at .the request of .Rev, Joseph Fort Newton and pub4 If shed In 'America by the Universal 1st Leader of Boston. The govern : ment shows that its measures to con trol the'drlnk evil have had remark! able results. 'As " compared with 1913, Public drunkenness has been reduced. by 75 to SO per cent, and the diseases usually associated with alsoholism have fallen by 40 to 6Q, Statesman ASSOCIATED PRESS entitled to the use for republication not otherwise credited In this paper ... -Manager .Managing Editor .. .Cashier .Advertising Manager .Manager Job Dept. two six-page sections, Tuesdays and six months; 25 cents for three months.

As for the American sol diers temporarily in England, f the government says: The belief In England is that American soldiers and sailors would be Just as well able to withstand such little temptation as now exists from, alcohol excess as the Engltth soldiers and sailors. . Drinking has ceased to be a problem for the Brit irh naval and military authorities and it Is thought that measures which have proved so efficacious in one 'case should fully meet all re quirements in the other, If this be lief Is proved to be unfounded against all expectation, special meas ures of control would certainly be Instituted In all districts where large numbers of American troops were gathered together." No other army ever went abroad under such wholesome restraint Ir this respect as our own army. In France, too, the authorities hsve co operated with General Pershing In the effort to minimize the drink evil. THE PERILS OF THE AIR. Aplanes and their war work have become, so familiar that people aro Inclined to forget that flying, even In peaceful air, is still perilous. Only when some noted blrdman like Ver non Castle falls to his death or when, as a week ago Saturday, the tragic Ust In a day Is made a long one de we cfuddenly realise that flying is far from 'being so safe at motoring.. .With the death of Castle came the announcement that he wa the fifty-first to fall at Fort Wtorth. Many of those were of the British training camp, which Is said to make the newly-fledged aviators take more risks than is required of Inexperien ced men under the American system. This is probably due! to the fact tha' the British, being in dire need of air men ever since the war started, have I had no choice but to ruth them1 through training as rapidly as pos sible; and their success. In spite of tbe casualties, has been such as to give the British no reason for chang ing their methods. ' it is. to ; some degree a relief to find that many, If not most, of the accidents are due to collisions or the 'effort to avoid collisions. Such accidents cannot be laid to the ma chines themselves; , and as long as tbey stand up. doing the flying ex pected of them, the aviator is Imi periled only by his Inexperience or the 'unlucky crash due, as in Castle ) ease, to the Inexperience of another In, the early days of flying the ma chines were not' dependable.' ' Some thing often went wrong when thi eteadiest hand was at the wheel, and accidents ' were due to the airplane rather than to the pilot. But sci ence seems actually to have built machines that wll now take the aJv snd stay with a very small margin of risk as far as the mechanism is concerned. But each day hundreds of men are rising towards tbecloud for the first time. The number of flyers Is unknown. The chief of the signal corps, however, said some time ago that In American training camps the aviators were averaging sbout 1700 hours of flying each day end totalling about 102,000" miles each day. "Considering." he sa'd. "this amount of flying, the percent age af fatal accidents Is remarkably low." For more thousands of years than anthropologists can agree on man has clung to the earth. It Is only within the past few years that h has taken to the air, and every mo ment that he is aloft he is not only hi a new element, but battling Inces eantly with gravitation. One slip, and death is inevitable. Since the legendary days of Greece man has bought to fly, but the curse of Icar lus is on the blrdmen. Yet it may be said that the air has been con quered. Airplanes swarm over th? tattle lines In France and no one thinks of death except from the"A A" guns, or the winged foemen, though the danger from mere fly ing I e ever present. But the morr honor to the bravery of these men who gallantly take , up this work They have been aptly termed the eyes of the army. They have revolu tionized warfare. They are the most important innovation that ,the war has brought. They are needed, and they go to their flights serenely, true knights of our century, literally jousting with death, unafraid and insuperable. When one drops a score spring forward to take his place. The very peril lures their young, gallant hearts. They have but one life to give for their country and they are willing to risk it in the most perilous service that this most terrible of wsrs has devised. AH TO CtTTIXO DOWN. t (Los Angeles Times.) F. R. Feitsbans, president of the Los Angeles Desk company, and prominent in local business circles, says that one of tbe facts which has challenged his attention Is that sc many people nowadays are talking about the , patriotism of curtailing business and cutting down expenses Mr; Feitshans is not one who be lieves In tbe efficacy of Increasing the circulation of tbe blood by exert ing special pressure on some partic ular vein or - artery of tbe human system and he thinks tbe commer cial and political ' system of our country Is not dissimilar in many re spects to the human anatomy, its correlative parts and co-operative functions. He does not believe thj body can be made healthier by am putating any of Its members. In stead of less business be believes in more business, Instead of a pressure cn production he believes In nor production In every line. He says that while many professional men are mistakenly advocating a false conservatism the average business man realizes the danger of such an attitude. The 'Times believes Mr. Feitshans has the sane Idea. What do you think? J 1 BITS FOR BREAKFAST i 8prlng Is here. n m "b Weather and politics warming up.

COWGILL. !The Wisdom of Putting Your House in Order" Is the title of a forceful editorial recently published bjr Edward Cookingham. vice presi dent of the banking house of Ladd & Tilton, Portland, and by him mailed to every banking house and trust company in the country. The object of the United States government in lifiuing 4 per cent Interest bearing treasury certifi cates is to pave the way for the purchase of the third issue of liberty loan bonds, bearing the same rate of Interest, which can be exchanged for the loan bnnds. without In any wise disturbing the business of the nation. This latter position of ihe government Is explained more In de tail in a recent letter to all bq,nks and trust companies in the njth west by James K. Lynch, governor of the federal reserve bank in ISan Francisco. "I' Joseph If. Albert, cashier of the Capital National bank, says it seems as If this' Important matter Is not understood by the general public as It should be, and gave out for pub lication the following editorial Writ ten bv Mr. Cookingham, whichi he thought would be of more than gen eral interest, in view of the fact khat the , drive for the saleW the third Issue of liberty loan bonds, will isoon begin. As Salem has already In vested heavily In the first and sec ond liberty loan bonds and will roll up another big sum In the third drive, it Is very easy to see that In banks of tbe community will be pre nared to assist in tbe liberty loan bond deal, and it will not congest any legitimate business for thrrh to take a hand. In other words, as Mr, Albert says, the treasury certiri atss will art as a "bumper" for the 1 ber fv loan bonds to hit. and hit lard. Mr. Cooklngham's editorial follows: "Our bank Is making every eTfort to so order its affairs that It mafy be able to take its share of the $3.00. ,000,000 of treasury certificates jwhlch the secretary of the treasury has asked the banks of the ni Hon to purchase at fYequent Intervals In anticipation of the next Issue o lib erty bondt.

If such a concern were suddenly confronted with a demand for temporary funds In order that it might continue to operate pending the completion of arrangements to bond its property and thus permanently finance Its re quirements, no bank In that 'vicinity1 would hesitate to contribute even at considerable sacrifice to its share of the amount needed by the Industrial concern to maintain its operations it full strenrth during the . interim when its permanent financial ar rangements were being consummat ed. How much more essential is it that the banks of the countryj-now fighting for its very existence, should respond, even at great sacri fice If need be, to the call which has been made upon them? They are not asked to ln$ur even the smallest fraction of hazard In making an in vestment, the proceeds of which will be used to. protect the families and property; of themselves b.nd their depositors quite as much as it will aid in supporting the men whose lives are tbe stakes of the great war game in which we are vital partici pants." . , j A Clean Ilraln and healthy body are essential for success.
