THE WAR CLOUDS that hung to low and threateningly over the Mexican bonier are scattering before the steady, but gontle rays of peace and good will that have emanated from the White Houbo, and the universal expression of friendship for, and sympathy with our unfortunate neigh bor, that have found expressionin all parts of our country, On top of the cheering ncwa from Mexico, comes the equally acceptable information from Japan that tho Mikado will not receive Envoy Diaz. ThiB will simplify mat ters; for no matter what Diaz's mission if, if ho was received by the Japanese government at all there would always be a suspicion that Japan was playing a deceitful game, and was really trying to get a foothold on tho continent, through Moxico. That thore has been a tfotormlned effort on the part of certain interest to involve this country and Moxico in war, is certain. Back of it was, and is, a gang interested in Mexico, that has grabbed valuable franchises and rich properties thore, just as it has grabbed them hero, and it fears that with the settlement of troubles in that country, that those properties will bo in jeop ardy. This gang has no Ood but money and would plunge this country into war, would sacrifice a million lives to accomplish ita unholy purposes, and feel no compunctions of conscience overit, When this mattor is once settled and a few of tho investigations now under way are disposed of, it should be the first thing congress takes up, to go into this matter, probe it 'to tho bot tom, and if there is no punishment provided by law for this offense, at least hold the worse than murdorers up to public exocration. At the some time a punishment should bo provided that would as nearly as possible fit the crime. Imprisonment for life, would bo littlo enough and solitary confinement in ad dition would be far too mild, for thocrinie is not tho attempt to murder ono jMirson, but a hundred thousand. Had their offorts succeeded the death list would have been appalling, for Mexicans would havo fought to the lost ditch and only havo yiolded to superior force when countless thousands had per ished. Tho altonrpt to involve this country in war with Mexico is the colossal crime of centuries, and should bo bo punished as such a crime deserves. THE SMILE AS A PREVENTIVE. THE SCIENTISTS of John Hopkins university announce in effect, thnt tho porson who cultivates a cheerful disposition is not likely to suffor from appendicitis. The surgeons in this great institution base their conclu sions on a long record of cases treated, and they say that a man who is always cheerful, who novor worries and has a smile for everything is not likely to havo an attack of appendicitis. Thoy traco back tho coses and find that most cases of appendicitis are due to gloomy spirits, depression and lack of smiles and good nature. They also say that improper food and hasty eating are causes of this malady. According to this all one has to do to avoid appendicitis is to eat slowly and the right kind of food (on which no two doc tor can ba found' that will agree) and keep on smiling. Smiles and cheerfulness no doubt are conducive to health, and certainly to the comfort and pleasure of others, and should be cultivated until they becomo a habit. At the same time, may not these savants have the cart before the horse, and are mistaking effoct for causef Naturally a man afflicted with a full-grown attack of appendicitis will not show up with much of a smile on his mug, for It is not nocossary to lie about the way ho feels, even to the extent of smiling about it. A man facing a proposition of having a hole mortised in him and his interior works overhauled Is not in a smiling mood. The only one in such cases entitled to smile is tho doctor who gota practice and also a fat fee. Naturally all the patlenta tho wise doctors saw wore gloomy, and not overflowing with smiles. Tho wonder Is that they saw any smiles at all. Still, Mrs, E. D, E. N. Southworth, has demonstrated in several ovor-ajzed and verbose volumes, the power of smiles on the human heart, and rare old Mark Twoin has proved their worth to ourselves. At the snmo timo it is pos sible that the vermiform appendix is beyond their reach. It. would be a good plnu to arrest all auto and motoroyclo speed fiends and send them to Mexico. It would then be up to them to run over aud kill or at least scare to death tho revolutionists or get killed themselves and it would bo a case where the world, tho balanco of mankind would be better off. Which ever prevailed, It would bo much like tho easo in which a man and bear got into a row and in which the man's wife refused to take part "because sho didn't euro which whipped," It may be thnt if the senators so gallantly opposing the "Democratic tar iff bill" were as certain that it would wreck the Democrat ia party as they claim to be, their opposition to it would cease very suddenly. The talk they are putting up is not made for the benefit of tho people, but to aid themselves in getting back Into office, aud It will hardly do that, as they, by their party's last platform, wore pledged to mako a reduction of the tariff. They aro unublo to understand that tho tariff is no longer a party measure, but one which the people aro determined to have straightened out, and some of the burden taken from their shoulders, Some of thoso old remnants of other days will succeed In talking themselves out of a job, and that is about, nil they will accomplish. "Idle men make tho best lovers," says that much in evidence bunch of un wisdom, Elbert Hubbard. This may be true, but it is certainly truo that they do not mako the best husbands. Here in Oregon, wo have a law that, while it . allows lovers to bo idle if they want to, requires the married man to get in and hustle. It might be added that Idle men make tho most successful pool play ers, tho best mischief makers, tho most trouble, and aro of the least use to humanity. Mr. Mulhall having produced letters from and to Congressman James E. Watson, of Indiana, relating to the latter a attempt to secure legislation de sired by his employers, the National Association of Manufacturers, and as one of that association's officers, has produced tho vouchers showing that Watson was paid for the work, Mr. Watson haa concluded not to make any reply, but "to treat tho baseless and trumped up charges of a confessed blackmailer with that utter contempt they deserve, and which can only be shown by dignified silence." General Diaz says he is going to Japan, just to return thanks to that coun try for kindnesses rendered Mexico three years ago. It is likely the general hail his fingers crossed when he made that statement, and that he is not a real expert liar, though he ought to be with bis chances in that line. Mexico sending an ambassador to Japan on such a mission, when she has not money enough to buy a sack of peanuts is a rather thin story. A Storv COmea from Trenton.

The evidence is only circumstantial, but it is remarkably Btrong. Vancouver, and all Clarke county, Washington, voted overwhelmingly to bond the county for half a million dollars to build a bridge across the Colum bia at Vancouver. It is now up to Multnomah county to get busy. Under the agreement the latter county must raise $1,500,000 to add to the bridge fund, ana it win, no doubt, do it. - That apology due from the city council to Councilman Kigdon has not yet materialized. Seems to be some difference of opinion as to the time that apology becomes due. The interest on it is accumulating and the council had better come through. As the. city councilmen express opinions of each other they will arrive at the conclusion that well, they will arrive just the same. The railroad commissioners should give the motormen on tho stieet cars credit for intelligence enough to tell a railroad train from a baby wagon, and not compel the conductors to go to the front platform and whisper it to them that the track is clear, or that there is a car in the way that they cannot run over. A Boston minister says the women's heads have been turned by the slit skirts. The minister is mistaken, it was the men's heads that got the turn, and they still have it. The Tacoma Tribune is finnicky. Tt takes a Louisiana editor to task for saying that a snake four feet long was a monster, and addB that "to be a mon ster in our estimation, a snake has to show more than four foot." It strikes us at first glance that a snake showingf our feet would be in the "monster" class, especially if it was a small snake. If it showed any more feet than that t might be classed as a centipede. Ex-Senator Jonathan Bourne is in Portland, and will probably remain on tho coast for three or four months. He refuses to say whether or not he will make the race for senator again, and thus adds to the uneasiness of certain oth er gentlemen who have an idea that a senatorial chair would just fit them. Our George likes his sent, and would feol deeply grateful for a little informa tion from his former colleague. Woodburfi, Aug. 13.

By Mrs. Frank Learned. (Author of "The Etiquette of New York Today.") Many littlo questions are cominir iin constantly in tho minds of poople who are in search of tho correct thing in manners. Small problems, which are puzzling, need to be solved. For instance, a young woman or trirl .may be uncertain whether she should ask a man to Call or wait for a re quest from him. No, in social life. tho mlo is well understood that a wo- man has the right to choose who may bo admittted to her house, and this mlo should be kept in mind in a de cision about asking a man to call or withholding that privilege. A woman does not, therefore, hasten to ask a man to call who has just been intro duced to her, and certainly does not if sho knows very littlo about him. If she should do so sho would soem very eager for his socioty as well as rather injudicious in her selection of friends. In tho world of society a mother would usually know most of the young men whom her daughter would meet. They belong, for the most part, to fam ilies known to each other. When it is possible the invitation to call may be made by a girl s mother, who might say, informally, "Wo are always at home on Thursday afternoons," or Wo like to have our friends come in on Sunday afternoons, and shall be glad to see you." A remark ofthis sort gives ease in every direction. A man therefore understands that ho should wait to be given tho privilege of calling. Ho should not ask a irirl if ho may call and see her unless ho has somo good reason to think that the suggestion might come from him, but ho should know her quite well bofore making it. Another reason why a girl should not bo in haste to ask a man to call is that if ho should prove indifferent to the privilege granted she has tho unpleas ant sensation thnt ho is not anxious for her sociotv. If a man has been introduced to a girl at tho liouso of intimate friends, and there is reason to believe that ho is a desirablo acquaintance, an excep tion may be made to tho general rule of not asking him to call after a first meeting or conversation. In a case of this cort the young people may have heard much of each other and may be come on a friendly footing quickly. The important thing is for a girl to be careful in her selection of friends. Of parents course, it is only respectful for a man to wish to be introduced to a girl's parents and there should b no delay about this. In large cities evening visits are out of fashion.

Clayton has ac cepted the appointment. May Not Be Seated. Washington, Aug, 13. Democratic senate leaders expressed surprise last night when they learned that Governor O'Neil disregarded their advice and appointed Representative Clayton to succeed tho late Senator Johnson, with out express authority for tho Alabama legislature. "It is my opinion that Clayton will no, be seated," said Senator Overman, acting chairman of the judiciary com mittee.
