The bloody war in Tripoli Keems now to be about over, an armistice having been agreed upon '. between the warring nations, it is reported, through the medium of German in fluence. The struggle has been short and undoubtedly a considera ble number on both sides have been slain. It has already cost both na tions a large sum of money but Italy has landed a hostile force upon Turkish soil and has occupied the rifcy of Tripoli after reducing it to ruins. War in these modern times is vastly different than it used to be. Modern ingenuity, and the invention of death dealing instruments, have reached such a stage of development that it is practically impossible for a struggle to endure for long, for the very reason that one combatant or the other would be wied out of ex istence. Added to this, is the gener al movement which has become world wide, to settle all differences with out resort to arms and, while the conflict on the Mediterranean has been waged between two nations which would probably 1m about t lie last to feel and heed the peace move ment, it has had its effect even there and some of its good results may be seen in this sudden cessation of hos tilities. Moreover, the towers of EurojH' ure all more or less interest ed in colonics in Africa, and in oth er sections of the globe, so that any conflict between two of them is sure to involve others if it be not speed ily settled. While Germany isn't exactly a stickler for the peace movement, she probably realized which side of her bread was butter ed and sought, by using her good inflm es for eace with the Turk and the Latin, to save herself a greater expense and possible loss of of territory in the far Fast later on.

NATIVE SONS. Intd we learned lliat tl,t. Native Son- (.t' Washington ha, adopted the clam as its emblem tiiuhiy few ot us knew that sii.-h ;ni or-.-aiiia-tloii existed in this state. It oimhl not f it . It is founded "u no worthy pruifiple; it merely cvalts th,. ;.,.;. dent of birth. Oi vanial ions of this kind pay tribute to sn,,,.,v touch the heights of siI'imc-s and absurdity. In California a similar organization, disregarding merit and claims to ability, enters polities on the basis of birth ami actually retard the development of the state and its prvgrevs. We are all native sons of hme state or country, but most f all and al.e all we are citizens of the Tnited States-and that's enou-h. And wh.le the native son movement by the very nature of things can't dominate in this state now or for a long time to come, jet it ouht to be forgotten right in its infancy. The men who have nude thi sU;e. ho have developed and are deveb.pinj it resources Lo h.ve worked for it because they loved it, who are pu.shir-.fr it ahead now are not native sons but ,nis by adoption.

President Taft and party made an auto trip last Sunday up the sides of Mount Rainier and afterward the President expressed himself as very much pleased with the trip even though some exciting experiences were the result of it. When he reached Tacoma on Tuesday he was presented with a ietition signed by a number of the ultra-religious pro testing against his '-desecration of the Sabbath" by making the trip to the mountain on Sunday and he very easily put the laugh on the petition ers by stating that he hoped to be able to make the trip up the moun tain some time in the future ''on a week dav." Actions of the kind in stigated by the Tacoma religious con tim-vtit are sill v and brings uponthei promoters the contempt of sensible leople without regard to t heir eiiuren affiliations. Ten chances to one, the men who were responsible for that "remonstrance"' saw an opportunity for a little free advertising oy "protesting" against the actions of the President of the United States even over so foolish and slender a thread as the taking of an outo ride on Sunday. What the church needs in her pulpits is men with good, red blood in their Veins, and a sensible head on their shoulders. Modern thought is placing more and more of this class there every day but there re some of the Pharisees still in evidence. Time has passed when it was thought a crime to smile on Sunday. ' ' Interest in the jiennant race in the Coast league is at a fever heat among the thirty-third degree bugs in Dal las and each evening the result of the games in California is awaited with much anxiety. The splendid record made by the Beavers with Vernon was cause for much congrat ulation and their play since meeting Los Angeles seems to assure the pen nant for the Portland ball lot for another year. There is no question about the superiority of the Port land team over the .others in the league. The recent series at Los An gles proved that where, in the face of 10,000 enthusiastic opposing root ers, and on unfriendly grounds, with the opposing team keyed up to every possible endeavor to humble the Northerners and cinch the pennant, the Beavers outplayed Vernon in the series and won five out of eight contests. The winning of that series meant the jwnnant for the Hoganites but when they faced the conquering McCreedie squad they had to bow U the inevitable and go down to de feat. Every loyal Oregonian hopes that Portland will continue her win ning streak and that Vernon will ontiiiue to lose until there shall be no question about the champions of 1011 President Taft made a hit in Ta unia and now everybody there swears bv the big chief executive of the nation.
