Virtually our government has sought to placate Colombia in order to protect American oil inter ests in Colombian territory, as oil now bulks hugely among the needs of the nation. Later events will de termine whether or not Uncle Sam is entitled to be regarded as a wise philanthropist or as an "easy mark."

BASEBALL OFENS SUNDAY IN WHEAT BELT LEAGUE THAT ISLAND OF TAP. The issue that has arisen over the island of Yap is not properly be tween the United States and Japan but between the United States and the supreme council of the league of Nations. It would be well for our government to recognize this fact, since, a dispute 'with the supreme council is far less likely to involve us in "war than direct diplomatic quar relng with the - proud and sensitive little empire of the Mikado. The supreme council placed under the Japanese mandate all of the for me German islands north of the equator. Yap included. Whether or not the council was justified in tak ing this action and ignoring the rights of the United States as one of the victorious powers, is a question which our government should prop erly take up and thresh out with the council itself. Japan, we think, is clearly within her own right in re fusing to turn over the disputed island for use aa an international cable- station, unless the supreme council so decides. Japan is a mem ber of the .league of nations, and is not to be criticised for accepting and .respecting a" mandatory. The wis dom of the Japanese position may be questioned, because of the further ill feeling that may be engendered between the people of this country and the people of Japan, but not its equity . Moreover, were it not for its value as a! cable station of this otherwise insignificant island, there would un doubtedly be no objection on the part of our government to the Jap anese mandatory. Neither would we be ant to question -the British man datory over Mesopotamia were there no ' Oil in ' that disputed region. In other words, we stand for what we are pleased to regard as our rights onlywhen we are in danger of los ing something if we do not The supreme council could grant all the mandates it pleased for the disposal of valueless territory without dis turbing our presumably exalted ideas of principle. Let us not assume that our beloved country is never motivated by any question save that of world welfare, in its dispute with foreign powers. As a Yankee nation we know quite well on which side our bread is buttered. Says the Oregonian: "England's drink bill appears enormous, but that is because the traffic is legitimate. America's, if it could be compiled, would be found to be quite large. Not even the most ardent prohibi tionist is fooled any more." Perhaps true, in a measure. But a drunken man is getting to be an infrequent sight on the streets of our towns and cities, and the younger generation is growing up without acquiring a booze appetite. No one will ever know what caused the untimely and sorrowful demise of the luckless mastodon with tusks nine feet long unearthed near Ar lington. Perchance, poor thing, it died of the toothache. The democrats may have occasion to envy the republican party its ac quirement of the loaves and the fishes, but not of the nation's problems. As to the sudden passing of that millionaire packer's son, there is apt to be no widespread regret' that he couldn't borrow the ten thou. The fact that Japan can fight is among the reasons why the United States should carefully refrain from qualifying as her antagonist. Possibly President Harding's peace plans are not without merit, since they have occasioned disappointment in Berlin. Confirming our view that he was always a bit irrational, "Big Bill" Jiaywood prefers Russia to the pen. .Standing alone and defiant, the British coal miners have adopted, as it were, a striking attitude. Having found that war pay, Germany has evidently that neither will she. doesn't decided A Voice lor Local Progress To the Editor: Is Weston hibernating? Is Wea ton sleeping? Will Weston continue indifferent to the great possibilities lying at its door? The mountain .lands tributary to Weston produce the finest of pota toes, cabbage, turnips and strawber ries to mention only four of their many products. With the proper marketing facilities, these ran and will be raised in ever-increasing quantities. Every pound should be marketed by, through or in this town. The mountain people right fully are interested in thia town and this town is interested in them. A mutual spirit of co-operation and en-' couragement should be inculcated, If they and the town arc to profit to he full by the rich land turned by their plow shares a land that Prov idence smiles upon. Weston should be the banking town of these industrious and wor thy people; their school town, their trading town and their shipping town. And if each and all will help the results will be surprising and gratifying. There is a future for Weston mountain, for Weston lowlands, for Weston itself.. Why not have a producers' warehouse wherein every pound of produce ' raised ' in and around Weston could be sorted, crated and otherwise prepared for the wholesale and retail markets sold then under a guarantee, thus commanding top prices and insuring constant orders. It is up to Weston to provide some such a convenience if the town would profit by its prox imity to one of the richest agricul tural regions on earth. The city officials are working along the line of civic progress by means of their street improvement campaign. This should and will be brought to fruition through the loyal aid of every true friend of the town. Then, given a much needed produce warehouse and a pull-together spirit between town and country, and we will develop a community in which all of us will feel proud to live and have our being.

TO BARNES IS RE-ELECTED HEAD MEMORIAL BOARD SOMETHING FOR NOTHING? The treaty by which Colombia gets 125,000,000 from the United States for no apparent consideration save - its good will, was first advocated by a democratic administration and blocked by a republican senate mi nority. It has now been advocated by a republican president and put through by a republican senate ma jority, including the very republican At the annual meeting of the Weston Memorial association held Monday at Memorial hall the fol lowing officers were elected: S. A. Barnes, president; Claud Price, vice president; H. Goodwin, secretary; C. L. Pinkerton, treasurer. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Pinkerton are in cumbents. The officers were chosen unanimously, but ten or more ballots were found necessary to elect the three directors who with the four officers constitute the board of con trol. The honor fell finally upon Nelson H. Jones, S. J. Culley and G. W. Staggs. An effort is being made by the board, and it is hoied will prove succejsful, to persuade President Barnes to ' continue the management of the picture shows for another year and this matter will "Mil Weston Teachers All Elected . All of the teachers of the Weston schools were re-elected at a recent meeting of the board of directors. F. C.
