Well. Yap Is In out of the wet, I any way. Entered at the Postofflce in Salem, -Oregon, as second class matter. Vi :-v OUR PLACE ON THE SEA The soldier bonus money and spring conditions will improve business in Oregon, and if the excellent crop prospects hold out, Oregon will have a good year. A man who held an important position in the Shipping Board during the war recently said: , MI: have 'asked many persons why it would be to the advantage of the United States to have Ameri" I cans instead of foreigners carry , our sea-borne com - merce. ' ; I have received many answers, but none ' whidh convinces me. If we can earn more profit in other forms of .investment, why not let foreigners have this business ?" " 2f . , Here are some reasons why not: j: . Front a fifth to a fourth of the value of every cargo trans ported in a foreign ship goes into foreign hands in freights, insurance, banking commissions, salaries, wages, etc. for that service. Last year, our foreign trade was nearly seven thousand million, dollars in value. Say it drops to five thousand mil lion dollars find that 'the toll is only one-fifth. Here is a thousand million dollars drained abroad annually which might remain ' in profitable use at home. 7 v - ? If warships are to be scrapped, defense of commerce will fall, largely upon armed merchantmen. Lack of American merchant marine wouldlmean dependence for carriage and defense on foreigners. What American would be satisfied with' such an uncertain and humiliating policy ? It is a fact supported by all we know of the past that na tional growth and welfare have been inseparably linked with seapower.- . ... . ' Carthage, Athens, Rome, Venice, Spain for a time. Hot land, England, and in our day Japan, have exemplified that commercial mastery of the waves meant expansion of com .merce, wealth, influence. Wherever there has been decline, loss of sea mastery has been its chief cause ! - i FULL TEXT, AMERICAN VALUATION Referring again to the American valuation feature of the pending protective tariff bill in Congress, discussed on 'this page of The Statesman of yesterday morning, many readers will be interested in reading and studying the full text of the; part of the bill covering this subject, as tenta tively agreed to by the Senate Finance Committee. It follows: : t- That whenever imported merchandise is subject to an ad valorem rate of duty; or to a duty based upon ot regulated fcranyrmanner by the value thereof . the duty shair be as sessed upon the actuarinarket value or wholesale price there of at the time of exportation in the principal market or mar kets of the United States and if there be used for covering or holding ..imported merchandise, whether., dutiable or free, any unusual material, article, or form designed for use other wise than in the bona fide transportation of such merchan dise to the United States additional duty shall be levied and collected upon such material, article, or form at the rate to which the same would be subjected if separately imported The words ivalue", or factual market value" or "wholesale price," whenever used in this act or in any law relating to the appraisement of imported' merchandise shall be deemed and held, to be the price at which such or similar imported 'nmerchandise is freely offered for sale or sold to all pur chasers in said markets in the usual wholesale quantities or the price which the seller or owner would have received or Just so long as Europe con tinues to print "money." just so Ions her financial situation remain beyond remedy. The only way to make money is to earn it. The United Mine Workers are demanding a five-day work week, but, of course, with a six-day sal ary, we snail never reacn a state of normalcy under that arrange ment. the resources of a military auto cracy at its disposal the czar's government was never able to block up the underground rail way; even to enforce th3 immi gration laws America can hardly be brought under such rigorous discipline and regimentation as the Russian empire was able to enforce. We are blase at 21 fan dead and the interest in the common things in life has waned. The merchant princes and indus trial barons have harsh lines around the mouth that the ablest efforts of the masseur cannot con ceal. Everybody seems to be try ing to take something out of life without putting anything back. Xow the professor calls this fa tigue intoxication and says if we do not do something about it we will grow old before our time. This is a grouchy message to come just at a period when men and women were congratulating them selves on the manner in which th?y were defying time. Grand ma is Jazzing and grandpa is do ing his eighteen holes a day on the links. Why talk of fatigue intoxication now? The old jokes erica. If any man's are. Mr. Cap- ' nr n, born and raised on .a Princeton's new memorial to its men who died in the Civil war is made emblematic of the reunion by an alphabetical arrangement of names without separation into two groups. It happens-that there was an equal number, 21, on each side in the struggle. Bernard Shaw, declining an in vitation to run for parliament, says he would rather drown him self than nartow his audience from civilized mankind to a hand-, Tul of bewildered commercial gen tlemen at Westminster. But there have been men at Westminster whose voices have been heard around the world, and it is not possible that parliament could suppress Shaw. SUBSIDIZING THE IKCTOIt Hearing theatrical perform ances by means of the radiophone over a distance of thousands of miles recalls that famous message first carried by the initial tele graph line from Baltimore. "What hath God wrought?" But the radiophones was net dreamed of then. Representative Rouse of Ken tucky is fearful lest the moving picture combination be used to Hood the country with propagan da In behalf of the Republican party. But just how could they do it? By. making the villains Democrats and the heroines mem-, bers ot the O. O. P.? "Uncle Joe" Cannon says he will not again seek a nomination for congress. It has been many a year since he has sought the honor. But renominatlon may seek him just as it has every two years since 1874, when the Sage of Danville, 111., gave it the first opportunity to tag him. So when Uncle Joe says he is not seeking nomination the wise ones smile knowingly. Exchange. For the next ten years there Is to be no war between any of the great powers. The mere statement carried with it a feeling of in credibility. Had the old Germany been included, that feeling would have been well founded. But without her none of the great powers, has any desire for aggres sive warfare, and without aggres sion there need be no defensive warfare. The powers all want peace. They want to be assured of it, and to obtain that assurance they have striven to remove the causes of war. China and Japan might have gone to war over Shantung, only to reach an agree ment In the end. That agreement has been reached in the begin ning. and there is no need for war on that question. AH the Pa clfic Islands were potential causes of war In a race for the mastery of the Pacific. That mastery has been achieved, but instead of one mastery there ore four, and these four have agreed not to fight, but to settle disputes at a confer ence table. New York Commer c,al .......I Russia's futile efforts to make its frontier proof against passage without a passport in tb.3 days of the czars give some measure of the difficulty of making the United States air tight. With all PANGS OP PESSIMISM The doctors have tagged a new ailment and threaten to make it a national affair. It seems that, as a race, the modern Americans are suffering from fatigue intoxi cation. They must have some thing to. blams on prohibition and pos3'bJy this is it. If we cannot have Intoxication In one way w? will get it In another. In this case we are the victims of high pressure high pressure in bus! ness and speed in social life. We become ennuied before our time.

Hence a scheme is being worked out by which such communities should build a home and a small hospital and offer them rent free to some com petent man who can heal their ills and mitigate their pains. The plan, similar to that. by which clergy are secured for such communities, has a good deal to recommend it, especially if the state medical association were given a hand in making the se lections and the local trustees could be sure of hold'ng fairly identical views on the subject as to which particular school of med ical practice it favored.! Other wise one could foresee a hectic time for those rural arcadlas and their resident physician.. If they adopted the Chinese plan of paying the doctor for all those whom he keeps well and deducting for those who get -sick. with an extra fine for deaths, the echeme might have even greater merit. Kansas farm. He knows tns western farmer 1 as well as te knows the back of bis twn hand. Arthur Capper is as interesting in the publishing business as Henry Ford, whom he resembles in appearance and manner, is in the automobile business. The Capper publications, daily, week ly and monthly, use up more tons of white paper in a year than those of any other American pub lisher, except Hearst. And. best of all. they are clean, wholesome publications, every one. Mr. Cap per began as a typesetter In To- peka. His phenomenal success as a publisher dates from the time some 30 years ago when the Topeka Capital, a daily newspa per, was offered to him for a small sum by a Topeka bank that was anxious to get rid ol an un profitable publishing ' business Since then substantially every thing he has undertaken in the publishing line has prospered wonderfully. His combined jour nals have millions of readers. As senator, Mr. Capper is half through his first term. He is showing in the senate much the same quiet capacity that made him one of the most successful governors Kansas has bad in a generation. The present depres sed condition of agriculture and the rise of the farm bloc in legis lation make him one of the most significant figures in Washington today. The first president of the United States to be elected from the region west of the Mississippi river is as likely to be Capper ot Kansas as anybody. of the most prominent men French politics today, beganiAeir careers as Socialists. Thos who af9 wont to remark on the op posing characteristics of the so- called older and younger genera tions in art and literature, as well as In politics, often to tle. ais n,nm.it M the "older gener ation," win do well to observe and consider that the process la both;, natural and familiar, and that It has been go!ng.on In C7erjr phas?; of human activity since the be-i ginning of recorded time.

"I don't know, I don't know," he would say. "Maybe when you are big enough you can have the old chest, but I don't want you snooping around in it now." Then he would draw Peter closer and tell one of his wonderful tales ! about when he sailed over the "bounding billows." - .When grandfather was off tak ing his daily walk through the park. Peter would 6lip into his room and stand looking at the sea chest for a long time, but he never touched it He never grew tired of imagining what was in it an old sailor's suit, perhaps; some strange coins, shells and knives. Maybe there was a map to a treas ure island, or somo pirate's gold which grandfather was keeping sjcret! There might be almost anything in that queer, battered, mysterious old chest. Some day, trandfather had said, if might be his. There came a time when grand father no longer had strength enough for his daily walks, and the family after talking . things over anxiously, decided to send him to stay with Uncle Bob. where the climate was better. So grand father went' away, solemnly en trusting the care of his eea chest to eter. But grandfather didn't get bet ter, and on day rvtpr came home from school to learn - that Lis grandfather would never come back for the sea chest. It was Peter's now. He could do with it as he pleased. He got the key from the place grandfather always kept it, and he bent over the old chest. He stop ped a minute. Suppose there was nothing in it but some old clothes. What a terrible thing it would be to have his dreams broken like that! He had always had so much fun Imagining what was in it. . He put the key in his pocket. If any one had followed Peter as he went for a walk through the near by park, they would have seen him toss something shiny in to the lagoon. (Springfield Republican, Feb. 23) The election of Senator-Capper of Kansas as chairman of the farm bloc in the senate is not so im portant news as it would have been two months ago. It is true that tbe bloc continues in bus) ness- at the old stand, even after Senator Kenyon's retirement. But the bloc is unlikely to be so mill tant hereafter as it has been In the past. Sixty days ago, in Kansas City, iieu i was selling ror o. cents a bushel. Now the lower grades bring SI. 25, the higher $1.35 and $1.45. Corn was 20. now 53 cents. Hogs were 7, now 10 cents a pound. Sheep selling then for 6 cents now bringing "14 cents. Oats have gone up to 37 cents, barley to 55, and rye to 93 cents. Tl a 1 1 r . n iuai is way senator capper as head of the farm bloc is unlikely to be so threatening to the regu lar Republican leadership in the senate as his predecessor has been. The minute the Kansas farmer begins to kick less, Mr. Capper knows it. He is the best informed man in the Lnited States as to what is being thought and said down into the very grass roots of the prairie country. The farm journals that he prints have hun dreds of correspondents in the middle west, snd his fingers are on the agricultural pulse of Am- VOLSTEAD IX NEW JERSEY Five bills have been Introduced '.nto the New Jerse7 legislature appertaining to the enforcement of prohibition, ostensibly tor the purpose of "adapting the. Volstead act to the particular conditions in New Jersey." Two of these care for jury trials Instead of summary trials of of fenders, and another modifies the right of search and seizure by wh'.ch "personal" knowledge of the conditions of law violation must precede any action by offi cers. All of which looks as If New Jersey is still lacking in patriotic resignation and considers that every little political move helps.
