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.
