Every new country has its history largely recorded in the memories of its oldest inhabitants. They precede newspapers and official records. Oregon has an ample share of these experiences and the state historical society is constantly en deavoring to collect accounts of them and place them on file. But every community has its own stories and now many of the men and women who are familiar with them, are passing away. It is a debt due to posterity that these stories and 'experiences should be recorded in some manner so that future generations may know .the facts of what the pioneers under went to make the state a place of habitation. Mr. Villa, tho ex-bandit who stands a fair chance of being president of Mexico somo day, is said to have de livered himself of the opinion that, had ho known our standing army was as small as it is, he would hve invaded tho United States long ago. Wo sug gest that Signor Villa desist from his rapt gaze at our standing army through the big end of his field glass and allow his range of vision to en compass for a moment, the portly form of the governor of Texas. THE LAMP OF EXPERIENCE A little over a hundred years ago tho allies of Europe were uniting for tho last grand effort to overthrow Na poleon. Then as now, England was tho animating spirit of tho combin ed nations, mistress of the seas but poking on others to do tho actual land fighting. Largely through her in strumentality, a rigid and effective blockade was maintained of the coast of France. To offset this, though he lacked tho ability to maintain it ef fectively, Napoleon declared a block ade of the English coast. Tho effect of this declaration was to bring troub le between France and America, al though the two nations hud hitherto been on tho friendliest terms. Though a formal declaration of war was not made, war actually existed between tho navies of France and the United States as the direct outcome of this blockading edict of Napoleon's. There were a number of naval engagements and tho commanders who afterwards displayed their mettle in the war with England in 1812, got their first experienco in the naval war with France. Tho student of history may bo able to find a parallel between conditions as they existed nt that time and as they exist at tho present time when onco more Europe is stirred by a mighty internal conflict and two in fluential nations seek to blockade one another's sea coast. What though tho billows boil and tho clouds drip nil the potatoes in tho bottom of tho basket grow nmul lor and smaller! There is this conso lation, gentlemen: after Thursday of next week there will bo only twen ty four months more of thin iloino. cratlc administration.

With tho advent of tho railroad big things are ahead and unless .its 'citizens awaken to a sense of its responsibility and to the oppor tunity the town will suffer itself to be side tracked. The legislature has as usual made a new tax law and the tax books which were formerly kept by the sher iff and turned over to the treasurer two years ago, are now to be turned back to the sheriff again and accord ingly Sheriff Johnson at Coquille is busy re-aranging his office force to meet the new additional duties. JAPAN AND CHINA It is inevitable that China will fol low tho course of Japan and acquire military establishments. Fifty years years from now China promises to be one of the world's great military pow ers. Japan's day of supremacy in the Orient will be brilliant, but short. There is more of a cordial feeling in Chinn for America than for any other nation. By our actions wo have deserved it. To continue thjs feeling of amity will be good policy. Dr. Tcyokicha Iycnaga, former professor of political science at Chi cago and Columbia universities de clared in an address before the Japan society in New York recently that the retention of Kiau-Chau by Japan would not violate China's in tegrity, in-as-much as Kiau-Chau had been leased to Germany for 90 years and was therefor not a part of China. "Of course wo can not foretell what final agreement will be made between China and Japan about Kiau- Chau. This much, however, is cer tainif the allies finally win, Japan will have proper claims to make for the blood and treasure expended for the capture of Kiau-Chau and in run ning a great risk in having for our foe a power so formidable as Ger many." Japan has made a number of de mands from China. They include first, that China turn over to Japan all existing German and Austrian con cessions; second that China pledge herself not to give concessions in the future to any country except Japan; third, permission to build a special territorial railroad, and fourth, min ing privileges in Shantung and Fu- kien provinces in Manchuria, in Eastern Mongolia and in the Yang Tse Valley. Thus the Japanese continue an ag gressive policy that is adverse to tho interest and policy of the United States. (J O O 1) R O A I) S N 0 T E S By Homer D. Wadn Chairman of Good Roads Committee National Farmers' Union No other citizen realizes the value of good roads as does tho farmer. A community can safely be judged by tho kind of highways it maintains. The greatest chasm between the con sumer and the producer is in the mud hole. Production must cease when tho tran sportation cost eats up the profits. Thero is something radically wrong with the farmer who is opposed to good roads. Without good roads there will be no development that is permanent and enduring. Bad roads keep children nway from school and Impair tho efficiency of church work. Tho elementary principles Involved in improved highways are social and dotnuxtlc happiness and luminous ucnnoinltw.

Men generallly, to all intents, Although they're apt to grumble, some, Puts most their trust in Providence, And takes things as they come, That is, the commonality Of men that's lived as long assmc, Arid watched the world enough to learn They're not the boss of the concern. With some, of course, its different Iv'e seen young men that knowed it all, And didn't like the way things went On this terrestrial ball; But, just the same, the rain someway Rained just as hard on picnic day, Or, when, you really wanted it, It may be, didn't rain a bit. In this experience, dry and wet Will overtake the best of men Some little skift or cloud'l shot The sun out now and then, And may be when you're wondering who You've, fool like, lent your umbrell to, And want it: t it'll pop the sun And you'll i.o glad yon aint go, do-.l It aggcrvafesi the farmers, too, There's tin much wat and too miicl. rain. And vor.'. a vaiting Mid to do Afore tho plowin's done, And may be, like as not, the wheat Just when It's looking hard to beat Will catch the storm or just about .The time the corn's a jinting out These here cyclones, a fooling 'round And backward crop's, and wind and rain, And then the corn that's wallowed down, May elbow up again, There aint no sense, as I can see . In mortals, such as you and me, A faulting Nature's wise intents, And locking horns with Providence.
