THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF OILL1AM
COUNTY. OREGON.
IT IS WAR.
The news from the Orient today
is more encouraging. War has
been declared between China and
Japan and active hostilities are now
in progress. It may be a blood
thirsty way of looking at it, but
this is really the best news we have
had in a quarter of a century. It
will be a destructive war, but the
more destructive the better. It
will be an expensive war, but the
more expensive the more profits do
we realize. It promises to involve
, some of the European nations, but
the more of them that are involved
the better it will be for America.
The prospective benefits to this
country resulting from this war are
almost incalculable. First of all
it will check Mongolian immigra
tion more effectively than the Geary
law. In the next place it will open
a market for our grain products,
and if the war continues six months
wheat will go up to something like
the old prices, This is particularly
true in case England and Russia
become involved in the quarrel.
Then it is going to stimulate our
manufacturing industries, for while
the Orient and Europe are fighting
the United States will be busy
making goods for the rest of the
world. Already the agents of the
Chinese government are placing
orders with our American gun fac
tories. But it seems to us the
greatest benefit to this country and
to the whole commercial world will
be the advance of silver, and the j
more general use of the white;
metal that will be necessitated by !
this war. The Orient is a silver
using country, and the expenses of
the war will be paid in the white
metal. There will be so much
rivalry between nations for supply-!
ing the Orient with war material
they will readily take silver in ex
change fo'r their goods. This may
be a selfish view to take of it, but
after all humanitarianism counts
for very little after war has been
declared. We are taking the sit
uation as we find it, and propose
to make the best of it. Telegram.
The truth is, the country is ex
ceedingly tired of that fossilized
gang of purchasable thieves known
as the United States senate. It is
no longer a body, of statesman, but
a gang of corporation henchmen
fattening on the public crib, selling
the rights of a citizen to private
corporations, and turning the Amer
ican laborer over to the Havemey
ers, Searles and Pulmans to be
plundered. We care nothing about
the merits of the fight. If the
democratic brethren want to pull
each others hair because neither of
them know what else to do, they
are welcome to do so. It is not our
fight, and while they are fighting
one another the country is safe.
The senators, however, want to
crawl down off the perch, and in
stead of posing as a dignified body,
learn that the great mass of Amer
ican people have more respect for
an Indian or a Chinaman than for
the venal and corrupt body known
as the United States Benate. There
is one consolation in dwelling on
the subject, and that is that in the
near future either the senators will
be elected by the people, instead of
by the corporations, or else there
will be no senate. Dalles Chronicle.
Discouraging reports come from
Nebraska and Kansas, where the
hot winds are baking the growing
crops which were already suffering
from drouth. This will be severe
upon the farming people of that
eection. It will still further delay
them in the sale of their farms, so
they cannot come to Oregon prob
ably for several years. But we
want them just as soon as they
cm come and bring some money
with tbem. We don't want any
flood or drouth sufferers, but in
dustrious people who have a little
means are always welcome, for they
will be prosperous and contented
citizens here in the edenic garden.
-Salem Statesman.
When Eugene V. Debs, an un
naturalized Englishman, attempts
to assume power superior to that
we have given to the president of
the United States, to make himself
dictator, and stop industries of this
country at his own command, it is
tiaie far patriotic , Americans and
o r government to take eoine acton
This country does not want any
foreign dicta torn Forest Grove

Press and people continue to ag
itate the question of government
ownership of railroads without profit
either to the country or to the rail
road corporations. It is useless
agitation, for the simple reason that
it cannot be done. The whole
proposition's what the late Gov
ernor Allen, of Ohio, would call "a
barren ideality." There is no way
by which the government can ac
quire ownership of the railroads ex
cept to buy them, and it takes two
to make a contract. The railroads
are not for sale, unless at a fancy
price, and the government is in no
condition for paying fancy prices
for property ihat it doesn't need.
The government i is bothered to
meet current expenses, and. the
people are in no niood to have the
burden of taxation increased. The
whole business and taxpayng com
munity cry out against the propos
ed government ownership of the
railroads. The advocates of the
proposition are mainly theorists
who contribute very little to the ex
penses of government. Telegram.
Horace Greely bit the nail on
the head when he said: "It is
strange how closely the men -read
the papers. We never say any
thing that anybody don't like but
we soon hear of it. If, however
once in a while we happen to say a
good thing, we never hear of that
nobody seems to notice it. We
may pay some man a hundred
compliments and give him a dozen
puffs, and he takes, it as a tribute
to his greatness And never thinks
of it never thinks it does him any
good. But if we happen to say
anything this man doesn t like, or
something that he imagines is a re
flection on hiB character, see how
quickly he flares up and gets ex
cited about it. All our evils are
duly charged tot us, but we never,
apparently, get any credit for what
good we do."
Attorney-General Chamberlain
is of the opinion that under the
constitution women cannot hold
an elective office in Oregon. If he
is correct those ladies who were
elected county school superinten
dents at the late election will be
ineligible.
It must ' be a surprise to Debs,
the drunken anarchist, to find our
government so well organized. The
next time he starts an insurrection
he will have to hunt for a weaker
spot than the United States.
A citizen of Forest Grove has
put up a telephone line to connect
the church with his home in order
that his aged mother may have the
benefit of the Sunday service. It
is a success.
According to an estimate fur
nished us by the secretary of agri
culture, Mr. Morton, the wheat
yield of the country this year will
be something like 500,000,000
bushels.
A student of Bradstreets who has
been investigating failures finds 80
per cent of business houses that go
to the wall, are those that do not
advertise.
To Make a Happy Home.
A clergyman preached a sermon not
long ago upon the subject of "Woman."
The beet way for a woman to be appre
ciated is to be away from borne for a lit
tle while. "We never roiss the music
till the sweet voiced bird bas flown."
Still a happy wife, who knows she can
folly trust her husband, willingly ac
knowledges him as the head in deciding
matters for the good of the household if
their opinions are not quite in unison.
She easily yields this or any other im
portant point, not through authority or
government, but through her love and
confidence.
Those who are to walk through life to
gether should be slow to notice faults;
but both should be quick to see, and
gladly, openly recognize a deed well
done, however simple, for love's sake.
If this course of action is not adopted
from the beginning and scrupulously ad
hered to there must be heartaches and
bitter repentance "for their reaping by
and by." Repentance that comes too
late must be a lifelong torture because
it comes too late for atonement.

Kenneth Bazemore had the good for
tune to receive a small bottle of Cham

Remedy when three members of hia
family were sick with dysentery. This
one small bottle cured them all and he
had some left which he gave to Geo. W.
Baker, a prominent merchant of the
place, LewUton. N. C, and it cured him
of the same complaint. When troubled
with dysentery, diarrhoea, colic s or
cholera morbus, give this remedy a trial
and you will be more than pleased with
the result, lhe praise that naturally
