ORE., DEC. 11 1914 WHERE WILSON STANDS, Representative Gardner of Massa obusetts, Charles M. Sohwab of the United States Steel Trust and the jingo press of the Nation woo ate olamoriog to militarize this ooontry bave been drought np standing by President Wilson. Gardner'! true motive is nnknono, bnt his resolntion for an investigation of the Nation's preparedness for military "defense" will be referred to the Congressional . Committee on Military aSairs, where it properly belongs. Schwab's little soheme for monnfaotniing submarines for belligerent nations at bis Betble hem shops and his San Franoiaoo Iron - works, has been nipped in tbe bnd, for tbe administration proposes that the Nation shall remain striotly neu tral, The jingo press was effectively answered by tbe President, when in bis message to Congress, Tuesday of this week be said: "From the first we have bad a olear and settled polioy with regard to mil itary establishments. We never have bad, and while we retain onr present principles and ideals we. never shall bave a standing at my. If asked are yon ready to defend yourselves? we reply most assniedly, to the utmost, and yet we shall not torn Amerioa in to a military oamp. We will not ask onr yonng men to spend tbe best years of their lives making soldier, of them selves. There la another sort of en ergs in ns. It will know how to de- olaro Itself and make itself effective sbonld oooasion arise. And especially when half the world is on tire, we shall beoareful to make onr moral lusnranoe against the spread of the conflagration very deHnite and certain aud adeqoatu, indeed. "Let as remind ourselves therefore, of the only thing we oan do or will do. We mnst depend in everv time of na tional peril, in the fntnre as in the oast, not upon a standing army, nor yet upon a reserve aimy, bnt upon a oltizenry trained and aooustomed to or me. It will te rigbt enongb, right American polioy, taeed on onr aoous touied ptinolples and praotloes, to pro vide a system by whiob every citizen who will volunteer for training may ba made familiar with the nse of mod ern arms, and the rudiments of drill and maneuver, and tbe maintenance and sanitation of oamps. . We should enoourage snob training and make it a means of discipline whiob our yonng men will know how to value. "A powerful navy we have always regarded as our proper and natnral mesne of defense and it baa always been of defense that we bave thought, uever of aggression or of conquest. "Who shall tell ui what sort of a. uavy to bolldf We ebali take leave to be strong upon tbe seas in tbe fn ture as in the past and there will be no thought of offense or of provocation in that. Onr ships are our natural bulwarks. When will tbe experts tell ns just what kind we sbonld conettnot and when shall tbey be light tor . ten years altogether it the eflloleuoy of oralt ot different' kinds and cant ooutlnnei to change as we have seen it change pnder our very eyes in these last few months?" There is apparently no valid exuuse tor leaving the uncompleted line in tbe Weston-Mllton link ot the conuty road improvement, and commenoing work from Pendleton, westward. It would seem tba height of folly and bad management to leave this road uncompleted and- ;' begin slsewbere, when the maobinery if on the ground ready for the work. The county oonit owea it to the East end to complete this thoroughfare, both from e standpoint ot amount ot travel over the roal, and the taot that Atheua aud W iston contributed largely to tbe road f and in cash, labor and material, and iii reality set the pace for the county to follow in tbe matter of per manent toad Improvement, This part of tba oounty pays the bnlk of tba taxes and sbonld bave a voice in - tbe matter whiob will be alluded by the uncompleted road. Why not oouple op between Weston and Milton, and have completed thoroughfare, then move to the west part of tba oounty and do likewise? If we ate to tuka tbe Portland Oregoffiao tor it onr Admirals and Ueuerals know nothing of armament or miliary equipment;our battleships re obsolete bulks and our gnna would not penetrate batch of sourdongb bread. Tine to Its established polioy and proclivities the Portland paper would play into the hands of Schwab and his Bethlehem steel works, the Dnpont powder trnit, et al. in taot tbe Oregonian would like to eontrol conditions in a manner to organize tbe Sohwab oonaern On a' plane with the Kruppaof Germany. And to do this, the Oregonian stops at nothing. Itia supporting tba Gardner resolu tion, wbiob if carried into offeut would make public to tbe world the military secrete of the nation. Defensive pre paredness is one thing, militariem an other, and the United States will never emulate "European efficiency" to tbe extent of beooming a military oamp, entailing conscription of its yontb and 'tbe burden of enormous taxation, simply to exploit the manu factor's ot war munitions, Seeing that the "tire tubes' of tbe period were about the slowest and most awkward weapons any one could Imagine, tbe feat was scarcely to be wondered at. London Globe. END OF THE EARTH. UTAH'S NATURAL BRIDGE. The Secret of Its Origin 8omewhat Puzzles the Scientists. What is thought to be the largest natural bridge In the world is that of southwestern Utah, known as the George natural bridge. The total length of this great yrork of nature la about 200 feet; lt w tilth 1. e., the "roadway' -is about thirty-five feet; the span in the clear is about ninety feet. At tbe base tbere flows a small water course which, during tbe bot months, dwin dles to a mere rivulet. Scientists are somewhat perplexed to explain tbe nieans by which nature produced this bridge, it Is thought hardly possible that it could have been created by water erosion, unless, as was most unlikely, there was a very large and swift stream flowing at tbe point where the brook now runs. Some authorities are inclined to tbe view that this bridge was due to vol canic action, occurring at some remote geological period. Although long known to the Indians, It was not until about fifteen years ago that white men became famillnr with tbe sight of it Mining prospectors were the first of tbe whites to see It since it is located in tbe beart ot a very rugged and inaccessible region. Tbe span is composed of a dark brown standstone of unusual hardness, and the thickness of the span is twen ty feet or more. Engineers who have examined this bridge assert that It is perfectly safe and secure nnd that It Is fully capable of sustaining an immense weight, espe cially as the span is free from Haws or seams. Washington Star. JUSTICE AND LUNCHEON. They Seemed to Clash a Trifle, So the Court Made a Change. It was formerly the practice of the supreme court to sit from 12 noon until o'clock continuously on encb day that It was in session. From time to time, as tbe afternoon progressed, tbe Justices, one or two at a time, would slip out of tbelr seats, snatch a bite of luncheon and return. Sometimes as many as four or fire of them would be off the bench at once. They usually had tbelr luncheon brought to them by their messengers and ate It in tbe little curtained recess behind the bench, and as the argument progressed there could be plainly beard In the courtroom the clink of knife and fork on plate and what O. Henry has called "the crash of dishes on tbe American plan." One day a lawyer pleading a case made bold to enter a protest He most solemnly Inquired if be could count upon tbe continuous and undivided at tention of even one Justice to the thread of bis argument "The personnel of the court has been twice entirely changed since I began," he said plaintively. The court deigned no response, but on the following Moudny It was an nounced from the bench that a recess for luncheon thereafter would be taken every day from 2 to 2:30 o'clock and that tbe court would sit until 4:30 o'clock every afternoon. Worlds Work. ; Birds That Fight Eagles. In Fouln. one of the Shetland Is lands, the natives make a business of rearing skim gulls In order to rid the Islands of eagles that congregate there and commit many depredations. The magnificent red sandstone cliffs thnt skirt the northwestern coast became favorite haunt of the eagles, and in this Inaccessible spot they Increased so rapidly that they became n terror to the farmers and fishermen who dwell on this isolated spot The skou gulls are also strong nnd tierce and the In vetorute foes of the englc. In battle the gulls are nearly always victorious. nd so the Inhabitants of Potilii hit upon the novel plan or reeding and caring for the sknn gulls, which, though formidable to tholr feathered enemies, are very peaceful and docile when brought In contact with mnn.

It has generally been accepted that life will ''ist for 95.000,000 years. Ninety-five million years Is a fairly long time. None of ns who are alive today need worry about what will take place 05,000,000 years hence. Even tbe most altrulstrr- can scarcely be inspired by love f.ir an Inconceivably remote posterity. But the KriMich savants are alto gether disturbing. Here comes one, M. Verronet, who says that the earth will permanently freeze within the next 2,000,000 years and that life will van ish. This Is bringing tbe tragedy near er home. We would gladly accept tbe older reckoning. j Verronet places mankind of today about midway between tbe beginning and the end. He computes that in the future life will exist as long as It has already existed. He specifies only one forty-eighth as long a life as those who have studied In the past Tbere Is only one consolation to be derived from the Verronet reckoning. As far as the Influence of today Is con cerned z,uuo,uuo years Is as good as 05,000,000. In either event those who are comfortably laboring today cannot expect to be lovingly remembered when the cataclysm of ice makes the earth a barren wilderness. Cleveland Plain Dealer. . .
