ORE.. NOV, 13 1B14 We read the other day, where tbe question was asked bow many lives and how many billions of dollars It wonld oost the United States to pro tect and hold the Pbillipines, in event some first class power, Japan, for in stances should endeavor to take tbe Islands. In the artiole in question, the question wasn't answered any fur ther than witb the statement tbat tbe United States army and navy would teat a" great disadvantage, especially against Japan, by being oonfronted witb a dista noe of 7,000 miles from her base of 'supplies, reinforoements, War college ot instinotion, eto. But In another artiole we read wbere tbe United Stutes witb ber present navy could not bopo to bold the Islands, if attaoked, for tbe reason tbat it wonld reqnlre nearly every American vessel to convoy transports, leaving prao liOBlly none for the battle line. So it wonld seem If we are to bold tbe Phllliplnes In safety, we most provide ptoteotion hy increasing the size of onr navy far in advanoe of wbat it is at the present time and maintain a larger standing army, Already tbe ory for militarism in tbe United States is beard In the veiled attaoki on tbe present administration's policy of turning tbe government of tbe Phllliplnes over to the Filipinos as far as possible, witb the ultimate objeot of full Filipino governmental oontrol eventually. Whether or not tbe Fll ' ipinos are ready in capability and oa paoity to take ovar government tot tbomselves, we will not attempt to say. Tbe Wilson administration seems to believe the time Is drawing near when they will be, The sooner they aie, the soouei there will be lifted from this country the greatest war tnenaoe she oan possibly have from foreign powers, and tbe abolishment of the principal exonse for militarism, Looking back over tbe results of tbe ruiitlnuons battle that Is being", waged la tne European war, it most be con ceded tbat wherever the Germans have brongbt op their beavy artillery, the tide has always tnrned In their favor. The fate of of Liege, Manbeuge, Lou Vbia, Antwerp and Brussels go to show tbia and now Diimnde ' is being beld by tbe Kaiser's forces, with only a Ehoit distance intervening between them and tbe goal ot a French seaport. I he allies have barely endeavored to stem the tide of Invasion and only have given ground when oonfronted b; overwhelming numbers, aided by the greatest artillery arm of warefare the world baa ever known. Indica tions wonld go to show that something will have to be done to onset the for midabillty of tbe German gnus for whenever tbey bare been set tip to do something, they always do it. ENERGY OF THE SUN. The president baa pnt bis foot down on delegations of Americans with hy phenated names who want to call up on him to protest against this or that nation In Europe. HViays tbat he will roaeive no bypheualed Amerioans. He says a man la either a Frenohman, a Belgian, an Austrian, a Russlau, an Englishman, or ha la an Amertoan. Ha oaunot be a German-American or a Frenoh-Amerioan or any otbei kind of an American except a plain Ameri can. No Ameiioan oltlaen can appear before hiin and make complaints against any one of the Euroopean com batants aa snob a hyphenated-American, and if be is an American citi zen ha onght to be observing the nen trallty wbiob. baa been proclaimed and not publicly take part in the war, whatever bla private opinions may be. Rockefeller's millions have beeu pot to good and generona nse in feeding the a'arving Belgians. There are other millions tbat oonld ha spent to advantage In uplifting the cotton in dustry ot the South, by tbe eutabltsb meot ot mills to manufacture the raw trod cot into bolts, thereby advancing that Industry in this oouotry and turn ing adversity into prosperity through out tbe southland. Instead of "boy a bale," tbe phrase should be "manu facture a bolt." and the factory should te in tbe South, the bom of tbe ootton plant. Barry Lane Wilson, linerta'a right band bower, bobs np in print with the opinion tbat tbe Mexican muddle would never be settled by the Wilson admlniitratioo. How many of yon re member who Hairy Lane Wilson was. Eggs are acaice as "ben's teeth" lu Athena. And siill tbe Otegoniau one tlnnes to jngela the Chinese eag prob Intensity of the Light and Heat It Sheds Upon Our Universe. By a aeries of curious experiments scientific men have gained a fair idea of tbe intensity of light and beat from the Bun as compared with earthly In struments. When the sun Is at the zenith, or di rectly overhead. Its light Is equal to seventy-fire electric lights placed only three feet from tbe observer. Yet an electric light Is too dazzling for any one to gaze steadily ut It. And as com pared with Sliius, which Is tbe bright est In the heavens, tbe light of the sun is 20,000,000 times more brilliant Tbe Intensity of solar heat on our globe varies greatly, in a way that sun light does not. tbe former being affect ed by locations, altitudes, changes of the atmosphere arid many causes. It haa been estimated, however, that the total quantity of heat which tbe earth receives from the sun each year i enough to melt a layer of Ice covering tbe entire globe and baring a thick ness of a hundred feet But this Is only very small portion of the whole amount of heat given out by the aun. The total solar beat is enough to melt every day a layer of ice ten and one-lmlf miles thick, about tbe entire buii, or, to take Professor Tyndall's comparison, tbe nun's heat emitted In one bour Is equal to that produced by burning a seam or coal sixteen uud one-half miles thick. Phll adelphla Inquirer, CONCEITED JAILBIRDS. To Have Been In Prison Is a Mark of Culture In Nigeria, In tbe land of the Niger, says Mr. P. Amaury Talbot In the London Times, little or no stigma attaches to Jail birds. In fact, prison residence Is often re garded as conferring the mnrlr of cul ture and distinction. The Inst gover nor of Southern Nigeria once compli mented a chief of the Interior on his knowledge of English, to which the man replied with a proud air: "Of course I be fit to talk English mouth I I learn all that when I lire long time for prison." Such residence Is Indeed looked upon as glrlng n sort of official status. At Calabar some prisoners were out clean ing the road when a clerk, dressed In the height of fashion, high collar, pat ent leather boots nnd the smartest of suits, went by. in passing he flicked one of the bending laborers witb a lit tie swagger enne he was carrying. At once the aggrieved party sprang erect "What!" be exclaimed, with splendid contempt "You dare touch met You factory rannl Look-a mel" Here he pointed to tbe broad arrows prominently displayed over bis simple vest and loin cloth. "I be government man! See here!" And the dandy passed on thoroughly abashed. . The Fattest Rao. How Is it that the Danes as a race are fat? Professor Lyde states that "from one end of Denmark to tbe otber yon will not And a really thin man." And he gives rather a quaint reason for it "Tbe growth of dairy farming in Denmark tends to make men lazy. The private houses adjoin the byres, wblch are kept at a uni formly warm temperature,- and the people are employed In warm build ings, living chiefly on milk and cereals. The men get bo lazy that tbey will not take the trouble to cut ap their food." And then comes tills delightful con clusion: "This eBito of things has pro duced a nation of housewives who ex cel all others In varieties of sand wiches, which can he munched all da.; long." And thus Is produced the fattest race In Europe, and we get a hint for a real rest cure. Manchester Uuardlan. SUMMONS. Ia the Justice Oonrt for the District of Athena, Umatilla County, Oreg. A. B.
