War With Japan?
A BSUBD ! That is what Prince Tokugawa, prominent Jap
anese statesman, now visiting Portland, terms talk o war
between Japan and the United States.
Prince Tokugawa is right. Certainly tho United States wants
no war with Japan j and Japan, who literally can't live, econom
ically, without U. S. trade wants no war with this country.
However what is absurd one year, may not be so absurd the
next. In 1914 k would have been absurd to talk of war between
the United States and Germany, but in 1915 with Europe in
flames, the possibility of such a conflict was not absurd at all.
Three years later the two countries WERE at war.
So if, as many military experts believe, Japan and Russia
will be at war before the end of this year, the possibility of the
United States becoming involved, will no longer be remote,
there will be a genuine danger in fact to avoid such a war' will
be extremely difficult.
WHY I Simply because this country is pledged to protect the
rights of neutrals in time of war. The United States en
joys a considerable trade in the
the Japanese navy would render
impossible. American ships would be seized, American goods
taken; every day in every way, socalled neutral rights would
be violated.
Would the United States meekly acquiset Yes, for a time.
But as the violations continued, public indignation would grow,
and all American business involved in oriental trade, would soon
be demanding drastic action.
THEORETICALLY we may be a peaceful people, but actually,
Whrm TTnftln Sam's nnftlrflt.hnnlr in nf'fpntrvl. frw nf ita rnmnin
so. And in tne wake or tinancial loss would come the inevitable
war propaganda. In a very brief time, the hated Russian Reds,
not interfering with our trade, would fade into a lily white ; and
the Nipponese, INTERFERING, would soon assume in the Far
East, the roles fit the Huns in Flanders.
And then, ladies and gentlemen, the fat would be in the fire !
So while we heartily agree with Prince Tokugawa today, Ave
are not at all sure, we will agree with him, a year from today.
In such matters there is no absolute truth it changes from day
to day as one pulls off the leaves of the calender, and this cool
ing cinder whirls on to its unknown fate. "
How to Prevent War
course the above is based
Japan at war with Russia,
and render normal trade, contraband tfnd non-contraband im
possible; and second, that the United States would eventually
be drawn, into tho war, because of this violation of neutral
rights, to which it would never submit.
There would bo an obvious way out, of course, for this coun-
try. Namely : a refusal to sell munitions or loan money to either
combatants. For in case of war the main trade would bo in
munitions or materials for them, nnd in their present financial
condition, neither combatants could purchase from this country,
unless America financed them. "
In fact when one comes to think of it, sueli a'polioy not only
would keep tho United States out of such a war, but if an
nounced today would go far toward preventing this or any other
war. If Great Britain should join this country in such a pro-

NOW IS TUB TIME TO I.AY IN A SUPPLY
OF FOOL PROOF
It Is with considerable reluctance
that I offer this advice at this time. I
know a lot of casual readers will take
It as - acquies
cence on my part
to the false and
unhealthful as
sumption that
cold weather or
dampness or sud
den change has
something to do
with "coughs and
colds." Let every
reader under
stand clearly
that I iio not
abate one Jot or
tittle from the teaching that such
natural atmospheric conditions have
nothing to do with respiratory dis
ease. It should be easy to prove
scientifically or experimentally that
cold causes or predisposes to some
such Illness, if there is any founda
tion for the quaint belief. But some
how the scientific Investigators who
try to prove It invariably fall to get
the evidence they seek.
What I call "cri" la by no means
what people commonly call "colds'.
"Cri" is simply a tentative name for
any acute illness or Indisposition
which has the ordinary characteris
tics of one of the common respiratory
infections; an honest name to give
your ailment until a definite diagno
sis can be made, and the trouble duly
ticketed diphtheria, scarlet fever,
measles, coryza, tonsillitis, septic sore
throat, or what have you. By calling
It "cri" pending the tevelopment of
the Illness or the making of a diag
nosis, we give fair warning to every
body that the trouble is probably
communicable. On the other hand.
if you insist on calling it a "cold"
you merely reserve the right to pep.
per every Ignorant or trusting soul
who happens to come within your
conversational spray range in the
early stage of the Illness. Remember,
it Is in the early stage, the stage of
onset,, before the victim Is ill enough
to give up and take to bed, that such
diseases as measles, Infantile naral-
TrTnltZer' epi?Cm!C menln8l-Ugrd
tls are most communicable,
Any one who has a cough of long
standing and fools with cough medi
cine Instead of procuring proper inert,
leal treatment for the condition re
sponsible for the cough, Is likely to
have tho cough a long time, probably
would not be happy without It any
way. Ignorant and Ul-advlsed persons
often resort to cough medicine con

COUGH MKUICINE ,
a cough from some acute Illness or In
disposition, 1 believe this foolish
practice Is accountable for not a few
cases of pneumonia or serious bron
chitis where, had the misguided vic
tim not taken to benumbing the Im
pulse to cough, tho illness would have
been only a mild one.
Here is a fool-proof homemade
cough medicine which any adult,
child or Infant may take without
harm and often with benefit, in any
Illness in which there-Is cough:
Steep for an hour or less a table
spoonful of whole flaxseeds In a pint
of water. Then strain, and add one
ounce of citrate of soda (sodium cit
rate), the juice of a lemon, a drop
or two of peppermint for flavor, and
one ounce of glycerine. If desired,
the medicine may be further sweet
ened with sugar. Dose, for adults a
tablespoon ful, every two hours.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Homely Cure.
For over 20 years I suffered from
stubborn constipation. Read one of
your articles on the use of flaxseed.
I take a spoonful a day, washed down
with hot water. Presto, the old af
fliction has disappeared. V. J. P.
Answer Constipation Is almost in
variably a bad habit. If you have
the habit, send a dime and a stamped
envelope bearing your address, for the
booklet "The Constipation Habit.
All that Is needed to break the habit
is a little knowledge of physiology
and the better psychology that knowlr
edge brings.
. Cod Mver Oil.
We get cod liver oil. thot comes in
barrels, at $X a gallon fr-jm our dng'
eIBt for chickens and stock. Ts this
fit for children to take? Mrs. A. D.
Answer Yes. Buc don't suggest to
the child that It Is bad medicine
Keep It out of sight, and when you
clve It. give it from a wee little vial,
have the oil cold, and give it from
n glass spoon, along with somo fruit
juice or honey, in a pleasant, matter-of-fact
way.

The sale of a carload of hops at
24 cents a pound at a Willamette
valley point Is the latest activity In
the Oregon , hop . market. Current
prices are ranging from 24 cento to
28 cents a pound, with the bulk of
business being done between 24 and
25 cents.
Lack of activity In the coast mar
kets is laid to two reasons. First
Is the enormous Importation of hops
from foreign countries, especially
from Germany. The other Is the ac
knowledged decrease In beer, con
sumption. Usually, at this period of
the year, the hop market is active.
One local dealer said nearly every

BRIGADIER GENERAL WILLIAM
MITCHELL, retired, former
stormy petrel of the army air serv
ice, proposes a new policy under
which the government would carry
the -airmail, presumably using army'
fliers, and private companies would
carry passengers' only.
With the railroads bringing out
new trains that will travel at speeds
in excess of 100 miles an hour, the
airmail isn't going to be as Import
ant In the future as It has been in
the past. .
THESE now trains, incidentally, will
call for stralghter tracks, so that
present speeds of around 100 miles
an .hour can be GREATLY INCREAS
ED for In this country we want
speed and still more speed.
. Stralghter tracks, in, order to make
possible higher speeds, will call for
extensive reconstruction of existing
roadbeds.
A COUPLE of generations ago, we
would have regarded a new de
velopment that called for extensive
rebuilding of existing facilities as a
calamity holding that discarding of
