A GUN IT EACH SLEEVE
OF HER GILDP.V K1MONA
As the fated day of the Armament
Conference draws near, it appeari to
the average American uh if the ink
in the milk is Japan silent, cun
ning Japan.
We hear all sorts of talk In out
very best sensational papers and
magazines of the great navy she U
building In secret; of her mysteri
ous battleships, her mysterious air
planes and this and that mysterious
engine of war. Add to this fact,
which has been Impressed on ua all
for a third of a century, that Japan
works darkly and springs on her
victim like a bludgeon-armed thiel
in the night DO wonder we fear hit
attitude at the coming conference.
Bill the American military experts
do not Share our average impres
Ions. They laugh at the wldelj
printed stories of the Japanese nav;
being as strong or stronger than
ours, or that it is likely to be a;
Btrong as ours in a few years. The)
point out:
It lakes time, great sums ol
money, huge purchases of material
aliroml to build a dreadnought. It Is
Impossible to camouflage such a huge
undertaking.
Japan is a poor country. Her
revenues are only one-fifteenth ol
the revenues of the United States,
and her people are even now groan
ing and restive under the burden
He her naval program what it may,
she cannot Compete in sea sirengtl.
with $7 to Uncle Ham's $100.
Ottr naval experts are willing to
bet their lep.ilal ions that she ha;-
only six dreadnoughts to our id,
and they say that that proportion
or nearly that will continue Undei
our and Japan's programs up to
1028, which Ls as far as anybod
can figure in 1921.
Perhaps It ls another cunning ori
ental game to make the world think
thiii Japan is armed to the teeth
Maybe she thinks thai she'll scan
Somebody by pretending at the Con
tertset thai she has a gun up each
sleeve of her kimona.
WHAT NEXT IN BLHOTRI-
CITY? THOT TELLER A PHY 7
Away back In the nineties, Mark
Twain wrote! an Interesting piece
about mental telegraphy aoma folks
call II "telepathy." Murk recited in
stances where he had wanted vcr.
much to hear from this or that per
son, and hud hud it on his mind
strongly, and he had even sat down
and written letters to them, In each
example the letter "crossed" In the
malls another from the Individual in
mind.
Few of us but have hud letter:
"cross" in the malls, both written
on the same subject. And bow fre
quently have each one of us hern
surprised to llnd people about whom
we were talking, suddenly appear on
the scene, causing us to remark:
"Speak of angels and you'll bear
their wings." or "SpeAh of the devil
and he's sure hi appear," etc. And
then there is tin' constant recurring
duplication of thought and ideas
which brings out the saying: "Ureal
minds travel in the same direction."
Few think of these as "mental
telegraphy." but are they not?
Mark Twain wrote in the days
when common telegraphy of mes
sages was by wire. He was conunr
ed that mental telegraphy was not
clnlrvojance or spiritism, but the uc
tion of some unknown quality of
lee trinity. Since that time wireless
telegraph) has become common.
Wireless telephony in beginning to
become common. We know (hat the
sounds ore carried through the air
by waves of elect holt which wash
against poll's and standplpes to
which receivers are attached.
The world is making amazing
strides in the science of electricit
What will It yield next? Will it l,
the discovery of a quality or element
In electricity that, with the help of
apparatus, will wash waves of Ihot
from one brain to another?
THE HOME PAPER
Roosting for the home paper is
good propaganda. The paper Is the
record or the community, the nucleus
around which the group or communi
ty centers. Its wants and likes and
losses are here rcorded. as well as
its functions and activities. It makes
a city n possibility, without which
civic growth Is Impossible. The
small town paper does not have
space to euluifco upon the ,-iocoed-i
ings of the courts, scandals, moon
shine escapades, jail sentences as
many of our larger papers in
dulge in, but business men know the
economic value of a paper, and that
it is impossible for their business to
thrive without one.
Rut all do not value the education
al, social and civic value, and ad
vantages of having a home paper,
i 'an anyone Imagine Portland wit li
on i a paper of its own to voice Its
needs and deeds? Pendleton owes
much of Its present growth to its
East Oregon ian and other papers.
We need a highway, bridges, a
waterpower plant, and many im
provements, Don't forget that your
home paper can voice your needs.
KEEP BOOSTING HOME TOWN
If they stood at the top of a hill
and saw a great rock rolling ponder
ously up that hill, they would know
Instantly that there was something
behind that, rock that was pushing
to beat the band. They wouldn't
think Providence was doing it.
And they ought to look the saint
way at a town that is rolling pon
derously up the hill of growth, de
velopment, and prosperity. There If
only one thing that can make a towi
or a rock roll up hill, and that i:
for some human agency behind it
furnishing both the force and tie
intelligence. Things of that kin
don't just happen.
