Wjlll li Kverv type, is screeching for invasion, murder and contiiest, and personal proclamations nre issued hourly to inflame the puhlie mind against President Wilson and the Pacific ami humanitarian policies of his adminstration.

Such a contest is nothing but conquest and spoliation, a rape of im; Hi'.iK u tin- ioweriui. prompted ny tlio liasest motives oi sorumnoss and greed a war which would stand in his tory among the monster crimes against lihertv along with the partition of Poland and the Napoleonic conquests.

It is no part of our duty to crush the people of .Mexico, who must work out their own destinv. It is no part of our destiny to play the conqueror of the weak. AVe can not end destruction and devastation bv plaving the de stroyer. Murder will not be ended bv turning Mexico into aiiuiiiMira. it is nor very enlightened or verv civilized to wage a war of annexation bv connuesr. President ilson has a most difficult role, but is most creditably filling it. The popular and patriotic enthus iasm for war has not stampeded him. The efforts of pow erful financial syndicates with their extensive and inter lacing interests to force his hand are beimr ,..,b,,!v u-;ti,. stood. He understands that we can do more with .Mexicans as melius man as enemeis, and in calling in the Latin republics as mediators, has done much to restore confi dence and create esteem for the Tinted States in the south, including distraught .Mexico a friendship lost bv the Mexican war of 1S-1"). ' H is part of duty and of patriotism to uphold the pres ident m his effort to prevent bloodshed. He mav have made mistakes, his policies mav have been wrong but thev have been guided by high ideals and are worthv of the nation. The people always pay the cost of war as w.ll -. rm.,.;ui. its victims, and everyone should help save the people from its blight. ' Abolishing Interest (I'Yom Hie Public) ' est to a point Hint would cover tin The abiding fntlh of the nxerago tlil'liculty of tloiiii' IiiimIiiomm in thai eitixen in the omnipotence of con- FIRST CATASTROPHE jsiy-h or u slute IcgMntmo prom Ues a long career for the political chin latan. Whatever may be the ic- ull ite-iiTd, (Hi n law. If the re sult solicit doei not follow, )niss nn o.ber law. The moie laws tlio better- at lent for the lnwcr. If wages ntc too low or prices luo high li-s a Itiw. if the Alnbauiii nltiuter persist in his desire to cvclmiixc his cotton for the Manchester weaver's cloth, pns tt law compelling him to trade wiih the Ft ouch t'linndiau weaver in Rhode Island. And now comes a corrcpoiideut who wishes to nbolish iiitcrot by law. After cit ing the wtnte laws that ti the legal rate ol interest -which he speaks of as Iciil puvilego be suvs; "Hv the same power we enn modifv or reduce the privilege downward. Why not I per cent, or two per cent why not abolish interest (privilege) entlrelyf" This conclusion comes trout the old error of supposing that because two things occur in conjunction one must be the entise of the other. I.ogislu tu res make laws fixing the legal rate of interest, ami in-a general way the interest of tho-e state- corresponds to thoe uw therefore, reasons our critic, the law must emit nd the in terest If tliut were ail theie were to the (iiestion, it would, indeed, be a Minple matter: for the same power that fies th nile ns li nr cent could fiv it nt :i, or, as our correspondent iiirge-ts. abolish it altogether. Hut would uetiiitl interest fall in com iilianec with the law of the legisla ture. If that were so, bow shall wo account for the fact that interest is higher in tho newer state, than in the older communities f Surely low interest is needed in the frontier set llenicnts. if anywhere. Vet Wyoiu ing, Colorado and I'tah have fled the legal rale nt'S per cent, while Mich states ns .Mii'.-Hcliu-ett. New- York and I'cnusylviiniH limit it lo ti per cent. Wyoming would like to have II per cent money, but would a ( tcr cent Ian secure it? It co-s on the averaue 'J pifr cent more to lend moue.v 'ti Wyoniiai; than in .Vow York, and if the Wyoming legisla ture were to fix the rnto at (I ner cent, it would lend to drive capital out of the Mate. Should .Mi-ouri pas a law fi.viiig the rate at U per cent, as the cnmvitoiidcnl sussosU. and should enforce it, a grout pari of its capital would flow into other states. It would not nil Irave, but -ueh ns did remain Would be loaned secretly at I. or '.'ll per cent. For the same ro.itn that makes Wvoui mg interest higher than New York interest would raise Missouri inter state. I This confusion icgniding iiileiesl is hugely due to the thought that in lorest is paid for money. It is not. No one borrows uiuuev to keep. The luoiiey is merely a medliiiii of dis tributing ci edits, a suit of infix cixul system of bookkeeping, Wlutt the borrower icillly gets is tools, youil or some othei foim of wcnllh, The money bonowed Irom the lunik is iuiiiiedintcly piisoed over to the milker of tools, let us y, which glxcp him the use of capital that he could not otherwise have until be had produced it himself, lie mav start business with n -f 10(H) plant, ami add to his capital Irom his prof its; or be mav borrow another $1001) and begin with n larger plant. Whether or not be boriows will de pend upon the iclntivc rate of prolit that is likely lo accrue lo the smaller or the laiKer plant. If he does bar row it will be the plant, and nut the money, on which he pays interest, and that iiilctct cannot be abolish I'd until plants aic nunc plcntiiul thnn borrowers, Kenl interest is not affected by legislation; it is con trolled bx supply ami demand. xotici:. .Notice Is hereby given that tho county court of Jackson county, Ore gon w on Wednesday tho litli day of May, ton, receive, and open sealed bids for the proposal of painting four bridges, situated iu follews: Ono over ltogitii river near the town of Itogue Itlxer. ono over the Itoguo rlxcr near Hold Kill, ouo over Itoguo river near IMimlco hill the hrldKo being known as the MoCloud bridge and ono oxer Dig Hutto crook near the mouth of lllg llutto creek.
