A book has been widely oironlated
throughout the Japanese empire oil
onlated (o Inflame the passions of the
little tro'wn men against the people of
the United States and pave the nay
tot the waging of a oonrjneriog war
against this oouotry. It is said to le
creating wild and deadly enthusiasm
throughout the empire. The United
States is piotoxed as a nation of money
grasping weaklings, inoapable of self
defense, a people devoid of national
piide or honor, a notion the conquer
ing of whiota.would te but idle pas
time for the fanatical hordes of the
mikado. The took desoribes in detail
the methods of an. alliance with Mex
ico, the destruction of the Panama
oanal and a simnltaneous invasion of
this oonutry from (be sea shores and
across tbe Bio Grande. This book
is not altogether tbe fantaatio creation
of an idle brain. Though ildionlonsly
overdrawn and warped from all sem
blanoe of troth, designedly so to in
flame tbe musses, oandor compels ns
to admit that foreign conntries have
oome to look on na as a nation of
monoy grabbers, with little patriotism
and praotioally without means of self
defense.
' There are approximately 1200 towns
and oities in tbe United Slates depen
dent upon the national forests for the
onroe of tbelr water supply, and
. Oregon bas a large ehare of them.
Yet there Is a continual movement on
foot to turn over Oregon forests to tbe
greedy ax and saw of tbe lumber
barons without restriction, nnder cov
er of "8tat control." Tbe same bowl
relative to state oontrol of water
power is raised by the same orowd,
Tbe past record of Oregon's adminis
tration and distribution of State lands
. is not in the leaBt enviable in com
parison with the federal government's
ndmiubj,ltnn mid oontrol of poblio
lauds. , By the same token, measured
by past expel ienoes, it would appear
sifer to have tbe foderal government
continue iu oontrol of foiests nod
power sites Congress, rutber thun
stale legislatures packod with Tom
Dick and Hutry, olose and iutimate
friends of the timber aad power site
"grabbers."

I suppose it's all a matter of senti
Ment or no senti-Ment. But I can re
collect (and so can some of tbe reit of
yon ginks) when little kidlet trees on
Main street were proteoted ty boxed-
in enclosures and everybody in town
held a cussing bee when some thought
less ranober tied his team np to them,
Now it's different. Tbe trees, after
growing to manhood and womanhood,
many sprouting the sere and yellow
leaf, have been abolished by ax and
saw. All of which leads me to remark
that sometimes the way of tbe village
is not in keeping with tbe ways of tbe
metropolis.

of lbs average ball room aie tbe wall

From what I hear tbe speedDemoos
say, tbe metropolis "over the hill
nobly deserves tbe ostrBOlzation she
receives from railway maps, But.
