The National Republic says "there are pseudo-Americana always anx ious to put this country in the wrong, who pretend to believe that the Uni ted States has made no sacrifice in behalf of world disarmament. They choose to overlook the fact that the United States, alone among the great nations of the world, reduced her army to a peace basis after the World War. "But no nation ever surrendered so much in behalf of disarmament, at a time when the rest of the world was armed as it never before was in peace time, by making the conces sions which America made at the naval disarmament conference called by President Harding. "At the time this -conference was called the United States was well on the way toward the realization of President Wilson's suggestion that the United States should be come "incomparably the greatest naval power in the world" a naval power so strong that no nation would ever bave dreamed of attacking us. "At the close of the World War the battleship tonnage of the United States stood at 814,500, while that of Great Britain, our naval rival, stood at 972,750, the heavier gun power of the American fleet, however, giving the United States the preponderance of sea-power. The United States had under construction, however, an additional battleship tonnage of 552, 800, including four battleship cruis ers stronger than any other existing in the world. With the completion of the 1916 program of naval con-' struction the United States would have had a naval force equal in strength to the fleets of Great Brit ain and Japan combined. "Neither Great Britain nor Japan was in financial position to n:atch this program of construction. Gre:.f. Britain and Japan at the Washing ton conference accepted limitation only on battleships the class of vessels in which the United States was about to lead the world. In the construction of cruisers, submarine. t and other classes of war vessels, both Great Britain and Japan have outdistanced the United States since the Washington conference was held. The United States having limited construction of battleships, we have not kept pace with these two other naval powers in the building of ves sels of the remaining types. "The action of our government at the naval limitation conference cost the United States nearly a half bil lion dollars in the scrapping of ves sels under construction and in the re construction of existing ships per missible under that agreement. "What naval yewer ever made such a sacrifice in the interests of limita tion of armament? And how often is reference made to this sacrifice, the spirit of which has not been veiy carefully observed by naval powers which have entered upon feverish activity in the construction of types of vessels not restricted by the Washington agreement ?" o FOOLING THEM ONCE MORE State Market Agent S ponce says that last November the big dailies of ihe country proclaimed the glad tid ings that wheat gambling to the ex lent of market control ami price fix ing was a vice of the past; that Secretary of Agriculture Jnidine had issued a fiat to the Chicago Board of Trade that it must change its system and limit its activities if it would continue to operate. Immedi ately the Board adopted a "regula tion" as per Mr. Jardine's sugges tions, to place a limit on how high or low prices should go, and the presi dispatches stated that "heavy pemil ios are provided for anyone buying 'X selling above or below the limits ;et by the directors." These nvtric iious would permit Demand & Sup ply to get back on the job and the wheat growers would get the mil iv il price. However, five months later to read in first-page headlines wh.-iv "Speculators Rule in Wheat Market,'' i tc, etc. At the request of friends and or ganizations interested in public ed ucation, J. O. McLaughlin, superin tendent of the Corvallis city schools, lias become the democratic candidate 1'or the office of State Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Mclaughlin view-! the outstanding public problems in Oregon to be more moral training in cur schools, better rural schools, and tiie selection of a state superintend ent. He believes thut schools must emphasize moral training and law observance; That the rural school de serves the largest consideration; That school text books can bo secur ed from the publishing compnnies at lower prices; That both vocational and academic education! are essen tial; That teachers should be ade quately trained; That schools are the safeguards for a democratic sys tem of government. All of which reads well, and if put into actual practice and supervision, would greatly advance Oregon's education al system. i A real builder of the west was lost to Oregon in the passing of William McMurray, railroad official and set tlement worker, at Portland this week. He was one of the big men of the Northwest one of the few who threw selfishness aside along the trail of progress. o Talk about speed A $1000 check photographically transmitted from New York by radio, was instantly received, honored and cashed in Lon don. We'd say that's going some! Here's at least one river we know of that cannot be taken as the back ground for fishin' yarns that lava flow from Mauna Loa. Dimples are again fashionable, even though some of them are made up of plastic dough.

MARKERS PUT ON VETERANS' GRAVES Veterans of the World War who are buried in Walla Walla will soon be honored by the placing of memor ial stones at the grave. The mark ing is being done by the Disabled American Veterans association, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American Legion. The grave stones were ordered about eighteen months ago, and the first shipment has arrived. Others are due in the near future. The stones are furnished by the govern ment and delivered without charge. The cost of installing is borne joint ly by the three veterans organiza tions. A systematic canvass is to be made to get the necessary data so that ev ery veteran , buried at Walla Walla will have a marker at his grave. Re latives of soldiers who have died who have not furnished the required information are requested to get in touch with any of the three organi zations of veterans. Chemical Affinity This Is the attraction between dif ferent chemical elements which causes tliew, when brought together under proper conditions, to unite and form compounds. For Instance, if oxygen and hydrogen are brought together under the right conditions they will unite In the proportion of two atoms of hydrogen to one of oxygen, which forms water. The attraction known ns "chemical affinity" is supposed to be I ant t-l on 1 Pn t h f 1 n lnr Mil an i " " DR.
