As noun the United Statea outstripped EnKlanJ, England would Immediately build more battleships to outstrip us. Then we would be com pelled to repeat the program and out strip England again and so on lndefl nltely. until both nations would be sapped of thelr'resourcea by the need less and non-productive naval bud get. And all to please and satiate a few war enthusiasts like Hobson. Instead of this suppose that the United States should counsel peace and arbitration; suppose sho should encourage other nations to settle their difficulties without a resort to arms suppose we should encourage the world-peace Idea by being peaceable and Industrious and generous. What would the result be? Universal peace no need for navies; no need for armies, except for local protection; no burdensome war budget; no high salaried war enthusiasts constantly alarming the public. . failure of a crooked bank only servo to lessen thefa th In good banks and the legitimate bankers of the countr should repudiate Ross and Ms Ilk. Captain Hobson In the course his lecture last night urging an In creased navy said that Japan could pour 400,000 trained soldiers Into the Pacific coast states through Los An tjeies, san Francisco. Portland an Seattle. What would the people the United Statea be doing all thl time? Does Hobson give American no credit for being patriots, soldiers f'ghters? Does ho think they would sit still and allow 400,000 or 100,000 or 500 armed Japanese to be landed on the Pacific coast? He certainly does not know the people of the Pa clflc coast. La Grande Is experiencing an In dustrial and commercial awakening such as hag not been witnessed east of the Blue mountains In Oregon be fore. She Is going to have new set tiers If boosting and advertising and As long as we persist In preparing aggressive, wide awake action will I'm weary of false prophets crying Their wicked, inscrutable lies; While thousands of helpless are dying As Mammon's and Greed's sacrifice. I long for the day and the hour When Greed shall be flung from the throne; When man In his right and his power Again shall step Into his own. I'm weary, but duty Is calling, And only the sluggard will shirk; The tasks that are set are ap palling, But honor says simply, "Go work!" I long for the woods In their beauty. But over the call that they give I hear the stern calling of duty That bids me be worthy to live. Will M. Maupln. for war", we will be compelled to do so. As long as we are bristling with war alarms, anticipating wars, talk ing war, suggesting war, Inviting war, encouraging war, making war Inevi table, we will have war. But If we show other nations that we are not seeking war; If we stop trying to outstrip every other navy on earth. If we encourage friendship and arbitration, It will be but a few de cades until war would be absolutely unnecassary and Impossible on the earth. Nations, like Individuals, receive Just about what they Invite. secure them. But La Grande has the advantage of haying fruit and garden land right up to her doors. The land adjoining the city limits on nil sides will support families on small tracts, Nature has done much for her In this way. UMATILLA'S CHEAP LAND. Homeseekers who are coming Into Umatilla county, In search of Irrigat ed lands are delighted with the ex tremely moderate prices of rich Irrl gated lands In this county.

Many times it seemed as though the " Umatilla project would be abandon ed. Nature placed peculiar obstacles In the way. To take the water down the south side of the Umatilla 'river to the original Umatilla project was Impracticable and costly, although a fine tract of land could have been covered. So crossing the river, to the north filde another series of patient Investi gations and examinations succeeded In locating the present east Umatilla -or Cold Springs government project. Had Mr. Whistler been a man of less patience and perseverance; had lie been less devoted to his splendid mission; had he been Inclined to go elsewhere, w here the obstacles were not so baffling, Umatilla county might have waited years for a reclamation project So when we go to Hermlston to celebrate the opening of the Umatilla project on May 27, Engineer John T. Whistler, the father of the Umatilla project, should receive the recognition and honor which he so richly deserves from the people of Umatilla county. It seems unbelievable that land which will grow anything on earth can be bought, with water rights, for, $100 per acre and even less. This Is bringing many genuine Into the lean loons.

HORSOX IS WAR-MAD. 11001 PQLfOH HUMILIATING-VILE-DESTRUCTIYE While Captain Hobson who spoke on the advantages of an immense navy at the Methodist church in this city last night, is a forceful and elo quent lecturer and an Intensely pat riotic citizen, yet he is war-mad.

It in provided in the order that the punctures or perforation shall not ex ceed one 64th of an Inch in diameter and the whole space occupied by the identifying device shall not exceed one-third of an Inch square. The puncturing must be done In such manner as to leave the stamp ejiwtly recognizable asj genuine and not previously used. The use of Ink or other coloring matter Is prohibit ed. The purposo of the order Is to en able users of large quantities of stamps so to identify the stamps pur chased by them that their lllegltl mate use may be detected. The effect of the order will be to protect a business firm which em ploys this method of identifying its stamps from theft and the authori ties will likewise be materially aided in detecting and prosecuting those who perpetrate thefts of this kind.
