Crown Prince Alfonso, Who Just Missed Becoming King at Six Professional Cards The elimination of the use of airships for war purposes in time of beligerency between nations j tie American Rankers' Associa will be one of the measures j lioil umj we ooui(i har.ily expect sought to be accomplished at the ! otherwise in view of the power next peace convention at The : lUuj influence which the groups Hague. Efforts will also be j 0f big banks in the monev ceti- made to prevent the mining of harbors in waters used bv neu ters exert in that association. 'The bankers naturally as tral ships, and the blockading of j sume t,at txs nxWnS of enact- unfortitied ports, the object be- jug u suitable banking and cur ing to make war more humane, I miCy reform measure is one in The idea of making war more Lbjch they are bound to express humane is incongruous, as there j professional opinion, and they can be nothing humane about j doubtless feel that such opinion the slaughter of human beings, should command respect in the and strife of that .nature usually counlry. So it should, so far as continues until one side of the it yoes I10t 00, .tribute directly to contending forces finds that it centralization of power in the can contend no longer, and is j COntrol of currency and credits, willing to quit. The AKlrich plan was a bold That the time will come when j for sm., centralized power, there will be universal peace ' r nither for the increase of it; I EiKWrW Xr Vfsj Si: lis Y Pf perhaps, most men believe, but it will be under better conditions than now exist and when men's hearts have been changed and the carnal conditions overcome. Humanity is apt to take the wrong lead in trying to bring about ideal conditions. We too often abhor the effect instead of the cause, and try to get rid of the effect when we should re move the cause: For example, a man suffering from gout, hob nail liver or tobacco heart, seeks the physician to secure relief and rid himself of the effect, while he should have removed the cause long before the effect got hold upon him. The same is true of the belig erency of the human family; we want to get rid of the slaughter, and its attendant ills, but gener ally speaking we are not willing to accept the conditions and re move the cause, hence we try to devise all manner of means and suggest the disarmament of na tions, and if they will not disarm then we should like to have them quit firing their guns and can non, and if thev will not do that the next desire is that they point them where they will do no harm. This manner of proceed ure is usually in keeping with our methods of ridding our selves of attendant evils, when we should go right to the seat of the disorder. War and bloodshed are the results of contention and wrong doing and if we would be free from them a return to righteous ness right doing will bring the desired end. MONEY LEGISLATION Congress has now started out to give the country some legisla tion on the money problem. Just what the result will be re mains to be seen. Experiences of the past have shown the nec essity for stable conditions so that panics and stringencies may be avoided. Below we give an editorial from the Portland and the bankers may as well ac cept it now as later that the peo ple will have none of it. "And the bankers ought not to conclude that the people are not interested parties, for while it is true that banking has to do spe cially with the business of deal ing in money, the people have learned thut-the manner of con ducting that business has a bearing on their prosperity and welfare. Therefore the people are not disposed to let the busi ness be adjusted and managed entirely as the professional in terest of the banking fraternity may suggest. "The enactment of a currency reform bill is a big undertaking and the most desirable things to be consumated by such a bill are hardly agreed upon; but so far as a big majority of the peo ple are concerned the Aid rich measure or any like it is a dead issue." Senator La Follette, who has viewed very critically every act of Governor McGovern, of Wis cousin, ever since tne latter ai lowed himself to be used by Col onel Roosevelt at the Republican convention at Chicago last year, is angry with the governor for vetoing a resolution submitting a woman suffrage amendment to the people. The Governor's reason was that a similar amend ment was rejected lost year and that it should not be submitted again after a lapse of only two years. The Senator would have had it submitted for no other reason than to give the cause the benefit of constant agitation, and shows that he triumphed over the old machine only by hammering away in campaign after campaign. But the pug nacious little man can be trusted to keep up the fight, even with out an amendment to base it up on. Weekly Oregonian.

This is, doubtless, a move to give the lrinker a little rest as he ought to have at least four hours sleep out of the twentv-four. Nature makes this demand and much more, but we are not inclined to look upon this curtailment as much of a reform movement un less it is characterized as a "be ginner." However late the sa loon closes it opens early enough to accommodate the candidate for a morning appetizer. ' Cincinnatti is witnessing an other labor strike. Eleven thousand garment workers have struck. The women ask for a 4S hour week and the men want the same or a 50 hour week and a raise of 10 per cent in the wages. Labor difficulties are continually appearing in the large work centers poinitng out one of two conditions: Either that there is great injustice done to the industrial class or that greed has such strong hold up on them that they cannot be satisfied. One thing sure is this: "The Dove of Peace is always ready for flight. When a woman declares that men are all alike it is a safe guess that her study of the ani mals has not extended beyond one or two reprobates who have filled her soul with bitter disap pointment.

MONMOUTH. - ORKGON Wood Sawed to Order W. U. PHILLIPS Your wood sawed for you just as you order it done Have placed an order book at Johnson's Woodyard; leave orders there California has been sitting ferred his request for money or the down slightly upon saloons in i nobleman's life in quite the nicest that state, and after the 10th of way. It happened that LordStan- hope had not any money with Vim and was disinclined to yield the al ternative. "Your watch, then," suggested the gentleman at the opposite end of the pistol. The watch, the earl explained, was dear to him. He valued it at 100 guineas and would not surrender it. "What 1 will do," he said, "is to bring and deposit in this tree the worth of the watch in money, and you can call and get it tomorrow night." "Done, in' lord," said the high wayman. The law knew nothing about this arrangement, and the earl did as he had promised. He placed the 100 guineas where the highwayman might at his leisure collect it. And there, so far as he knew, the mat ter ended. Years afterward he attended a great banquet in the city and found himself pleasantly entertained by an extremely well known man whose signature was good for a sum in several figures. Next day came to Lord Stanhope a letter inclosing the sum of 100 guineas. Accom panying it was a note begging his acceptance of a loan granted some years previously to the man who now forwarded it. That loan, said the letter, had en abled the sender to gain a new start in life, to make a fortune and to renew acquaintance at dinner on the previous night with his lord skip. The city magnate and the highwayman of earlier days were one and the same. London Standard. SUMMONS In the Circuit Court of the State of Ore gon for Polk County. Dept. No. 2. Ida B.
