Ilaaklns for Health,
THE JAPANESE
IT IS difficult for any sane or reasonable person io con
nect the military maneuvers along the Mexican border
with probable war between Japan and the United States.
There is not the slightest reason or pretext for a clash
between America and Japan.
ly friendlv. Both have just ratified a new treaty giving Roguo Rivcr Cana) company An
e'ach the benefit of "favored nation" treatment. p ... . . . no
The .jingoes are busy conjuring up all sorts of absurd
stories to manufacture' war sentiment against Japan.
Every pretext is utilized to justify bigger army and navy
appropriations. The Japs are blamed for everything that
happens and most things that do not and cannot happen.
There is, so far as can be ascertained by closest observa
tion, no knowledge on the part of anyone of Japanese plots,
no suspicion amongst those in authority that such plots
exist, no reason of tiny kind to suppose that Japan de
sires anything but friendly relations with America.
This being the case, unfounded, yellow, sensational
surmises and stories are making us the laughing stock of
the world. The idea of an Asiatic invasion of America in
the immediate future is a grotesque aberration, an illogi
cal absurdity.
Korea, jManchuria and China will absorb all the ener
gies and capital and territorial aggrandizement efforts of
the island empire for many years to come. Japan could
not finance a first-class war without America's assist
ance. It would be a physical impossibility to transport
an army of invasion across the Pacific, and still more im
possible to supply arms and ammunition, food and supplies
after landing.
Invasion by Japan would spoil destruction, for, as
Von Moltke once said, he knew a thousand ways of getting
tin invading army into England, but not a single way of
getting it out.
OUR UNPREPARED ARMY.
PA liT of the insanity of civilization is the supposed need
of standing armies and navies the maintenance
of which spell national bankruptcy.
In spite of millions spent annually in maintaining the
army, we are periodically informed that the army we have
been keeping is untrained,
less.
A short while ago the army had one of its periodic
"reorganizations." A former horse doctor, without mil
itary training, who happened to be a crony of the then
president of the United States, was elevated to the rank
ol eommandor-in-chiel, winch
What has he done to improve
10 very little while a "reorganization" is effected, and
uniforms changed in color and new style of headgear
adopted. Then when everyone in the service is garbed
according to the latest imitation of an imperial soldier,
it is time for another "reorganization," and more new
clothes.
We are spending $100,000,000 a year on pur military
establishment, yet we have not a single commanding offi
cer who hits even attempted to handle a single division
in the field. We keep the troops scattered at small posts.
busy taking care of the buildings, and neither officers nor
men receive proper training. Ollicers in command ol ar
tillery regiments have never maneuvered a single battal
ion ol held guns.
No wonder war always finds (he United States un
prepared, and no wonder President Taft has determined to
give the army a little maneuvering and tin officer a chance,
for once in his life, Io see a division assembled. I f we must
have tin army, it ought to be an effective one, and not a
joke or it should be abandoned.

UNIVERSITY RECORDS OF
HIGH SCHOOLS INCOMPLETE
The early university records of
high schools in the' state have proven
to be incomplete, sd that two or three
towns that early established high
schools and made many sacrifices to
maintain them when secondary edu
cation did not have its present ogue
have suffered an injustice in (hi
printing of a recent news story giv
ing h synopsis of high school devel
opment in Oregon,, It is now known
that both Maker (City and Ashlund
established high s;)iool in 1S1KI, and
both towns claim to hue had the sec-'
ond high school in the slate, Port
land having the lirst in lHliS. It j
also known that Tho Dalles early 11
the nineties sent students to the uni
versity who were duly graduated.
The Press Hulletin suggests that
each high school in I lie state lile with
the university a statement of the
year nnd mouth of its establishment
This will give a permanent uud ae
curate record, which will be valuable
in tho future, when a thousand cilie
111 Oregon will each look with just
pride upon the efficiency nnd stand
ing of itn high school whereas now
1 .1 much smaller number can boast tin
possession. UAKK MPSICAIi TUKAT.
