TO MAKE WAR MOKE HUMANE.
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

made to prevent the mining of
harbors in waters used bv neu

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.

August saloons will he closed

is, doubtless, a move to give the

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

other labor strike. Eleven
thousand garment workers have
struck. The women ask for a

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

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.
