Denver, Colo.—A conspiracy to

That the war was the saving
grace of the Democratic party
was the emphatic assertion of W.
B. H. Dowse, a leading New Eng­
land manufacturer, who passed
through Portland Sunday on his
way to San Francisco. Mr. Dowse
is president of the Reed & Barton
Company, silversmiths, of Boston,
director of the Waltham Watch
Company and president of the
United States Fastener Company.
The later concern operates facto­
ries in the'United States, France
and Germany.
“The schedule of the Under­
wood tariff has militated against
the domestic manufacturer, en­
riched the importer and stimula­
ted Euroiiean trade,” said Mr.
Dowse. “ We had just enough of
the effects of the passage of that
bill before the war opened, and if
the war had not come when it did
the Democratic party would have
been completely submerged in the
results of the Underwood sched­
ule.
“The war has closed the coun­
tries of Europe so that no export­
ing to this country is passible and
it has also created a demand in
this country for a certain line of
supplies that in normal times
would be produced by the coun­
tries themselves. Under normal
conditions the tide would have
been turned the other way and
this country would have been
flooded with foreign products.
We do not want unreasonable pro­
tection, but we do want enough
protection so that we can be
placed upon an equally with labor
conditions abroad.
“ In our German factories we
have discovered that we can get
competent help, the most compe­
BEING PREPARED
There is much talk of the un­
preparedness of the United States
for war. That it is necessary to
have a great army and navy that
other nations seeing our war-like
front would sue for |>eace ere the
war begun. To a great extent,
this is a wrong conclusion. Pre­
paredness is often the cause of
war. The boy with a pocket-full
of rocks is very brave and will
often pick a quarrel with another
boy, whereas without the rocks
he would have been an advocate
of lasting peace. The six-shooter
has gotten more men into trouble
than it ever saved. Germany has
been preparing for war lo, these
many years, and no nation was
ever better prepared, yet today
she is engaged in one of the hlixxl-
iest and most destructive wars in
history. Japan would never have
attacked Germany single-handed.
There is no danger of the United
States getting into war with other
nations if she will studiously at­
tend to her own affairs and pay
no heed to the hair-brained snobs
who go ehaseing into the war zone
on beligerent ships.
Preparedness, Hague tribunals,
Peace societies, Popes and Bishops
can never prevent war so long as
it lies in the power of one man to
plunge a nation into war. The
Kaiser, the Czar and even our
amiable President might have a
grouch, and by his diplomatic
policy plunge the nation into a
war of which the people have no
interest, yet they could be forced
to leave the plow, the shop and
the office to fight a one-man's
quarrel.
