THIS COUNTRY WANTS NO MILITARY PARTY Naturally the Oregonian attempts to make a political issue out of the Lusitania affair. It is not honest enough nnlitiprillv to sav what it knows to he true that tho United States can do little except to protest against the killing of our people, unless we wish to plunge into war, and we doubt very much if the Oregonian would advise that course. The president undoubtedly knows that he will be criticised in anything that he does by the ultra partisan papers of the Oregonian stripe, just as Wash ington, Lincoln and other national leaders were in the periods of great stress and responsibility through which they passed, and it will not cause him to swerve from his course, or alter his sense ot duty. The people 01 America will very largely follow the lead of the president because he is thinking and acting calmly and setting an excellent example for all who have the best interests of the nation at heart. The Oregonian takes the opportunity to plead for a larger army and navy a big military establishment pat terned after those of the European nations now engaged Lead is one of the first metals that would naturally be associated with an increased consumption in time of war, and yet the exports of lead from the United States to Europe since the war began have not increased in propor tion to the increase in exports of zinc and some other metals, and the price of lead instead of being enhanced by the war actually slumped on October to the lowest point reached in the last 15 years. These and other facts are graphically presented in the advance statement of the production of lead in the United S.tates in 191 1, just issued by the United States Geological Survey. The total pro duction of refined lead from both domestic and foreign ores was 542,122 short tons- compared with 462,460 tons in 1913. The production of refined lead from domestic ores was 512,794 tons, an increase of 100,916 tons over the record figures reached in 1913. This increase was due chiefly to gains in Missouri, about 42,000 tons; in Idaho, 40,000 tons; and in Utah, 18,000 tons. Owing to the civil war in Mexico the imports of Mexican ore for the last few years have been much smaller than heretofore, and there was not enough foreign lead in the United states to supply the demand. Lead was consistently higher in London in 1914 than in New York, and this, together with the scarcity of Mexican lead, caused the large exports of domestic lead.

Coe's father declares that the young man's place is in a sanitarium, lie is quoted as saying among other things that his son drew only $200 of the $000 he had in the hank, leaving the rest for his wife. "We knew of that," says the father, "as soon as he disappeared, and thought it one evidence of a disordered mind." It may he considered an evidence of aberration to divide with the wife, taking the short end of the purse, just as it is almost inconceivable that a person of young Coe's upbringing should be willing to slip on overalls and work with tools at $1."0 a month. But, of course, there may be mitigating circumstances. Let him have the benefit of any doubt. The senior Coe magnanimously says that he will not force his son to return. It's a safe giiess that he won't.
