PRESIDENT WILSON'S SOUND TALK. THE little talk made by the President Wilson to the American people through the newspapers of the country Tuesday, was brimf ull of good hard sense, and was at the same time one of those thoughtful things that he in so large a degree seems to excel in doing. Each of the countries now at war has here in America thousands of people, some naturalized, some still subjects of the warring nations. Among the latter there is natur ally more feeling over the war than among those who navp severed their relations with their mother country, yet among these there is still a warm feeling for the land nf their hirth. a tender memory of their childhood and its surroundings. The warning issued by the president W is opportune and should be taken to heart not only by i those of foreign birth but by Americans, who no matter what their sympathies, should be careful about expressing them where thev will hurt the feelings of others. The president's idea is that not only is the United States neutral, but that the citizens individually should also be neutral. None of us can help our feelings or change our sympathies; but we can all be broad minded and tolerant of each other's beliefs, just as we are tolerant of each other's religion. This is the virtue the President asks us to exercise, and this we can all easily do humble opinion this appeal-is one of the finest things President Wilson has done. The people on Europe who had possession of Grain Speculator Patten and allowed him to get away alive, overlooked a great opportunity. Yesterday was groundhog day for the Oregonian.

Silver Lake reports light showers have broken a 40-day drought in north Lake county. The rain came too lato to benefit crops, but it cooled the air aud broke the intense heat spell.

ONE LIFE LOST IN PRINCE ALBERT WRECK Grand Trunk Steamer Prince Albert, Which Went Ashore Sunday Night on Dundas Island, Is Breaking Up. MEXICO'S SUCCESSFUL REBELLION. To keep pace with Albay's growing telephone needs, $5000 has been ap propriated to put in additional equip ment and local extensions. hHE constitutionalists, who a few days ago were rebels, Bin Mexico, are now in full possession of the govern ment and are the government. There was no trouble at the turning over of affairs to the pew powers, and the coming of Carranza was heralded with iov bv the DODulace; That the trouble is all over is hardly possible, in Mexico, for that there will be many gangs of outlaws preying upon the people and taking unto them selves possibly the importance of revolutionists is prac tically a certainty. However, it looks as though that much and long afflicted country was in a fair way to at last achieve peace. It practically all depends on Carranza and Villa. If the former rises to the height the occasion offers and places his country above self; and the latter with his strong following stands firmly and faithfully by him in trying to restore quiet, put the laws in operation and give to; every Mexican the rights and privileges of freedom, the right to be unhampered in his business, and to be responsible to no man or clique, but to the-laws of the land alone, then will the sacrifices and the crimes com mitted in that unhappy country have been not entirely in vain. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 20. The ouly life lost in the wreck of the Grauil Trunk Pacific steamship Prince Albert, which went on the Butterworth Kocks, near South Dundas Island, Sunday night, was a baby boy, son of J. De- raedt, of Graham Island, according to advices received here. Two boats were lowered immediately the vessel struck. One of them cap sized near the shore. Everybody but the baby waded ashore. In the panic he was forgotten and he perished in the breakers. A heavy sea was running and the Prince Albert pounded and shook with such violence the wireless operator had ill I r uu It r sending out a distress signal.

On Friday and Saturday any stores and coal that may be needed will go aboard. Then with two hours of stripping of wood work, the ld.uma will be ready to go into battle. Captain Morlyaina of tne iiizuina would not discuss the probability of war with Germany. In the event of hostilities however, he said protection of the Pacific trade routes would be one of Japans avowed objects. Japan has trade routes that reach to Sun Francisco and Puget Sound. "Ah-you see", said Lieutenant Ya magata, "Japan is fortunately at peace. About the Leipsic are we going to chase the Leipsic I I do not fray that we are. Wo have come to San Francisco to go into dry-dock. We have been on the Mexican coast for many months and the bottom of this boat needs rleaning. We can make much better speed when it is clean.'' COMMISSION BEGINS SESSION IN PORTLAND Portland, Ore., Aug. 20. The Federal Commission on Industrial Relations, which is investigating industrial Condi tions in the United States began ses sions here today that will conclude Sat urdav evening. Early Indications wero that the investigation in Portland will center around the effect of the indus trial weitare legislation in Oregon in its application to women wage earners ami tne methods usea in Urenoii in Prince Albert, responded to the calls dealing with the unemployed situation for help, and took the passengers and crew to Prince Rupert. The Prince Albert is rapidly breaking EYES TROUBLE YOU? TRY THIS SIMPLE RECEIPT. It is practically certain, in the opin ion of the Examiner, that a state fish hatchery will be established in the vi- einity of Lnkeview in the very pear future. . The" Eagle, pointing -.with pride to Milton's eity tax levy, says:.-"A 4-mill tax is the least this city has paid for 20 years, and the smallest of any city in the c'ounty, with the possible excep tion of Echo." - "The dry weather this summer," snys the Ashland Tidings, "is causing many a fnrmer who last year looked askance upon the pluns for irrigation projects to wish that he had not so summarily turned down the promoters. There is little doubt that many land owners would sign up today who would not a year ago." Bnndon Heoordef: The Bnndon beach and city park are regular cities of tents, there being rows of them along the beach extending from Tuppcr rock to Bennett's beach, about three miles. There are people from as far north as Grays Harbor, Washington, to as far south ns Stockton, California, and from the interior of Washington, Oregon and California. The Evening Capital Journal, in its regular issue of yesterday, at 3:30 p. m., carried the news of the pope's death at Rome, giving full particulars. The Portland Evening Telegram, arriving here at 4:30 p. m. told of the prelate's sinking spell but asserted that he had rallied and was better. This is only one more of the many instances which indicate The Capital Journal's news .service is the most complete in this field. . The early editions of the Portland evening papers, circulated in the Willamette Valley, are of little value as newspapers. What is making the European diplomats sit up and take notice is that Japan is playing her hand all above the table, and apparently has no cards up her sleeve. She tells exactly what she wants and intends to do, in language that is capable of but one construction. If she goes back on her promises they are so cleanly made that she cannot dodge, but will have to admit that she deliberately lied. If she keeps her promises the way she has made them it will be something new in natural procedure. The Condon Times, in nn article on grasshoppers, says: "Does anyone re member the year the crickets took every green thing in Bight along the John Day river, some 22 years ago! Talk about the littlo visitation of grasshoppers this year! They arc not to be thought of in comparison with those crickets. Everything went but the pea vine. They lusted about six weeks, then disappeared, and have never come back, to our knowledge. They were very plenty in the Cove, in this county enough to fatten hogs."
