MUST WE FIGHT? For the past year or two the possibilities of a war between Japan and the United States has been widely discussed in ' this country and opinions have varied about as much as opinions could on any question. In the past it has seemed both common-sense and self-preservation would deter ther Japanese from any engage- ' ment so deadly. The debt of- Japan has been figured upon to force peace,- but it seems that while the debt came as the Drice of victories over the Russiansl there also came to the little brown man an over abundance of self conceit, insolence, "cussedness" and "cockiness." For years this 'country was pleased to consider itself Japan's best frend, but of late years the attitude of the Japanese is kill ing that "friendly feeling" and it now begins to look as though the day of reckoning is nearer than we thought. Since Japan's victories of the minions of the Czar, she has : made claims of equality which are not shared- by the inhabitants of the "Yankee Nation." Of late every time anything occurs ' in the ' United States hot wholly satisfactory v to Japan the latter has placed a chip on her shoulder. Sooner or later in all probability we shall have to remove , that chip." . r , The latest thing from Japan is the hint of the - possibility of a boycott of American - goods. In this they are taking their cue from the Chinese boycott of a couple of years ago. What real ly is in the wind is ' not known outside of government circles, but to judge from what is given out it is natural to presume that something a little out of the ordi nary is in the wind. A dispatch from Washington, D. C, under date of July 1st, is to the effect that the Atlantic fleet of 1,3 battleships and two armored cruisers is to be sent to the Pacific. Our cruisers now in Asiatic waters are to be with drawn to the coasn, while 1 the protected cruisers now on the Pacific coast are to be transfer-, red to the Atlantic. It would be foolish to, believe these changes are to be made without good reasons. - .- In probing around for the cause of Japan's attitude of late the most likely thing to believe is that she covets the Philippines. These islands have cost us a . lot of money and are really valuable possessions and we are loath to give them up, , especially to be scared out of them or robbed of them. While they are so remote trom our base of operations we are willing to bet a necktie that Japan cannot take them from us We shall stick to our islands like a wax plaster. But in all seriousness, it might have been good policy, had it been possible, for, us to have sold these islands shortly after we acquired them. We might in the long run have been money ahead. But- that matter ' is neither here nor there now for we are face to face with a con dition, not a theory. If we must fight Japan for these islands, or for any otner cause or thing, we will eventually wear her to a frazzle. The Japs will find they are not fighting either Chinese or Russians. God help the Japs if ever they get Uncle Sam's "dogs of war" after them. A NOT HER ANNIVERSARY. Once again the nation has cele brated its independence. The Fourth of July seems destined to live to be celebrated until the last gasp of the nation. This is right and proper patriotism is becoming in any - people. Bat while giving vent to oar en thusiasm it is fitting that we conduct ourselves in a sana man ner-Some things "which have become features of our 'national birthday celebrations are certain ly reprehensible. Patriotism and enthusiasm that comes in a jug and sella at I so much per quart does not as sist materially in the iip-buflding of good : citizenship. Another menace to the peace .and happi ness of those who would enjoy a sane r Fourth .-: is '; bombs fired at random throughout the city and at any hour of the day or night. We hope ere i another celebra tion of this kind falls to' our lot the city council will have passed some ordinance guaranteeing to our people some protection' while in the pursuit of happiness such as is supposed to lurk in the or dinary walks of life. HAS GREAT ASSET. What can1 be Done in Qregoa ' The Corvallis Livestock Show.' i In stating reasons 'whyiPort-v land should bold a livestock show, the ' Journal has-the following to say editorially 1 1 rsff The H People - of -Portland and Oregon live in the- (midst of an empire of whose possibilitie3r they have i but , i faint : conception. Favored conditions crowd around them on every band. ;Ia one, in dustry alone they rbave an -asset of incomputable value.hvlt is an assets' matchedjcoowheref' el.se This is c in 'jammab!, husbandry, in which : oiL climate and. -foods contrive to.7. produce - the t best specimena obtainable cua-i 2-u ) Standard;: bred I auimalsi, intro duced .into Uregon , do n?t, .as happens in many .'states fa ad countries, lose- ; their jbreed characteristics, s If anything:, the dominate traits n Qr?charactjeristics of breed 1 become; here more pro nounced. ' j A PercberQriihorse ber comes ; a better PcTcberonj. a Bel gian a more pronounced Belgians The condition, is one- that; toe ex pert 'stockman knows to he of extraordinary value ; for his pur pose.' ; Here the -production of; a draft ' horse .weighing, a ton is ac complished i with grea est ea-r. A 2 year-old colt, exniDited re cently at the Corvallis livestock show, weighed 1,697 and anoth er -of the same age 1,610 pounds. Three yearling, colts at the same time -and place - weighed above 1,200 pounds each. , Under selec tion of breed and accommodation of ration, draft horses beef cattle and mutton sheep can be grown that can scarcely be duplicated elsewhere. The eauatle climate and the all-year-round ereen foods are primal ageats in. this growth. From birth to , maturity there is no stoppage 01 growth on.account oi weather stress, and the con sequences is animals of unusual size and strong breed trait., . And : much the same peculiarly favorable conditions, , . especially with reference to draft hors.s, are true of eastern Oregon, though smaller than in western Oregon, there is produced ; the, cleanest- limbed, best-hoofed : and - most DOwerful and enduring-framed hojse in the world." In, the belief of experts there is . not the slightest doubt, that, by-, reason , of her peculiarly , avored . conditions. Oregon can build np an animal that will , make her as famous in heavy animals as is Kentucky for sr eed thoroughbreds. New Regents Named. A Salem dispatch in Wednes- dav's Oregonian .says: ; : , ; , , h, Governor . Chamberlain 3 today named the members of the near board of regents -who will have, control of all state normal schools after this date. The ; regents are C,E. Spence, of Carus, Clacka mas county, to serve one year; E.TIofer. of; Salem, two years; E. jE. Bragg, of La Grande, three . years ;. W. jB. Aver,-.,, of Portland, four years; Henry J. Maier, of The Dalles, five years; Stephen Jewell, of Grants Pass, six years. u Not one of these men lives in a normal school town, or has any connection with a normal school. It is evident that in - making the appointments the Governor studi ously avoie'ei appointing:: men who might by past associations, geographical location or political interests, be prejudiced for or against any one of the',1 kmi noralals. Not one ot jthe jmen is interested particularly: irt either the Universityof of Oregon, the Agricultural College, or any other. state institution. This tact will leave them more free to- handle the normal school problem free from other influences. After Commencement.
