PEACE IN THE EAST.
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.
The German isn't so slow as he ap
cars sometimes t, . a, ( Fmpcr

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. X it ire
sons have had Burnt? small share
in the e.Tort ail achievement. The
tistorieal soei.Ces eaa take rare of

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

President Taft made a hit in Ta
unia and now everybody there
swears bv the big chief executive of
the nation. He called it Mount
Rainier" in Seattle but, when he
reached Tacoma and told them of
bis auto trip up the mountain last
Smidav, he referred to it as Mount
fai-onia" ami never balled an eve.
