SOUTH AMERICA PROFFERS SHIPS.
South America Is coming to the relief of the United
Mates. Brazil, Peru and other countries have offered to
fend their ships to our ports to relieve the congested
condition of foreign trade and carry our products to
market. Peru has a large number of fine vessels on the
l'acinc ana tnese are to be sent to tne Atlantic.
In this connection it is not out of place to call atten
lion to the fact that the United States has a fine merchant
marine but it is engaged almost entirely in the coasting
trade. If these vessels were placed in service for across
the ocean points it would clear the situation amazingly.
There are enough coasting vessels to handle practically
all America's exports. Standard Oil alone has ships
enough to carry the larger portion of our exports if
piaceu in commission ior mac purpose.

of the loss of that kind of a bet than an old poker player
does of losing his ante. That is one of the pitiful things
about the war, that men are looked upon as so many chips
to be bet and lost in the war game. When one thinks of
the daring courage of the German soldier and the daunt
less bravery of the Belgian, who risks life, family,
property, all the human heart holds dear, in defense of
his country and his country's rights, there can be but one
feeling, that of profound sorrow that such men, who
should be sires for their race, should be sacrificed at the
whim of any emperor, czar, king or any other human
ruler. It is a crime against the human race.
One hardly knows whether to believe any or all the
statements made of and concerning each other by the
warring powers as to the atrocities alleged to have been
committed. The French accuse the Germans of cutting
off children's hands so they could not act as soldiers. The
Germans accuse the French of things about as bad. The
Kussians are charged with cutting off women s breasts
and they in turn charge the Austrians with similar or
worse offenses. If what they all charee is true, this
alleged civilized warfare discounts anything our savage
progenitors ever even dreamed of. Let us hope out of
respect to the human race that all these stories are the
emanation of overwrought imaginations, and are in no
wise line.

This is the golden age of prosperity and munificent
giving.
Opponents of the concentration of wealth stand
silenced before the high humanitarian purposes to which
it has been turned. It may be asserted as an absolutely
pound principle that it is best for humanity that wealth
should come under the control of men fitted to use it for to stay out forever.

Jar. more has been done tor the real and permanent
benefit of the American people by means of wealth con
centrated in the hands of some rich men than would
have been done by that same wealth if left in the mines
or wells or even equally distributed among all the people.
Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Leland, Stanford these
great universities are the objects of striking munificence.

Oui's is a broad land, and each school, in a greater or less
degree, merits support. All must look for it to men of
wealth. The poor can not help and the moderately
wealthy will not.
All of these great benefactions, which form so potent a
force for the elevation of the present generation and of
posterity, have come, not as the mites of the millions, but
as the millions of the few.
It is altogether too true that while millions of us rail
against concentration of wealth not one of us puts his
hand in his pocket to produce a penny for the beneficent
institutions that concentrated wealth so magnificiently
endows, and few of us even give a thought to their vital
importance to human welfare.
Few men are fit to be rich. But a fit man, rich, can
and does do more good for the multitude than the multi
tude is even willing to attempt for itself.
War affects things differently. The hau?htv auto
mobile has not advanced a cent in price on account of
the war, but the American horse and the lowly but
spienaia muie, wnose native state is Missouri, have seen
their values nearly doubled. Autos are all nVht for
pleasure but when it comes down to business and hard
work the long eared creator of Missouri's corn crop goes
u me i rone.
Either the United States has been deceiving itself and
the world as to its army of millionaires or the millionaires
have been making false representations as to the amount
or their wealth. The f ramers of the income tax estimated
it would produce a revenue of about $80,000,000, but as
a matter of fact it has produced only $35,000,000. The
lalung off in realization from the estimates is espec-

Dallas. Ore., Sept. 2. This will be
one of the best years for the prune men
of Dallas for many seasons. At first
it was thought that the crop was go
ing to be very small on account of
the prunes all falling off, but
enough of them stuck so as to insure
the growers one of the finest and best
yielding crops of many years.
Most of the growers liavz contracted
their crop at eight and eight and one
half cents, mostly to the Armns
l'ncking Co. at Dallas, but since the
war in Kurope they have stopped tak
ing contracts with the orchard men, as
tlicy ship 75 per cent of their market
mostly with Germany and the other
foreign eouutries. Several companies
have already offered to run the block
ade in Kurope so the packing company
is again taking charge of the crops in
the valley.
Many Young Orchards.
The orchards are mostly old in and
around Dallas, but there are many
young orchards In the Salt creek coun
try; there were at lenst 100 new ones
planted this year, and fully that many
the year before. The membership of
tho fruitgrowers association is increas
ing by thrice the origrnnt number and
the newcomers are mostly prune men.
The hills west of town are being clear
ed and set out to fruit and many lands
are changing hands and being set out
to prune ranches. In a few years Dal
las will be one of the richest and most
prominent counties in Oregon, the farm
ers beginning to see the value of the
fruit in Polk county, and it will be
the crop after the state goes dry.
