WAR FROM THE SOLDIER'S STANDPOINT
The following description of war, as it is being earned
on in Europe is from the diary of a French soldier. It is
valuable because it gives the impression that the soldier in
the ranks acquires after he has experienced the horrors
of the fighting line and realizes that it is all a senseless
nightmare of butchery a carnival of savagry which
mocks the boasted civilization of the Twentieth century.
Jean Gigot's narative of his experiences at the front is
a classic:
New York's recent enactment of a more stringent law
against highway advertising, with similar legislation in
other states and a determined effort to enforce the
Pennsylvania law, shows that the disfiguring signboard
is becoming more and more unpopular.
Whether we shall ever attain as much courage as;
Great Britain or Switzerland, where it is generally un
lawful to exhibit an advertisement visible from any car-i
riage-way, bridle-way or foot-way, and injurious to the;
landscape, remains to be seen. J
Maybe there is something in the American temper-;
anient which delights in such disfigurements. Formerly;
the signs chiefly lined the railways' path; with the advent j
of the automobile those crying the merits of tires, oils,,
horns and brakes along the roads have multiplied. The;
pace of the motorist being rapid, these have to be glaring,!
and therefore hideously disfiguring to scenery. j
It has been suggested in France that the "artists" re-,
turn to old-fashioned designs. Watteau painted a "Faith-!
ful Shepherd" sign, still preserved as art, and Boilly a:
"Gourmet" advertisement that was delightful. But art
seems divorced from modern sign boards.

WILSON AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
Some newspapers are devoting a good deal of space to
setting forth the diplomatic attainments of Robert Lans-1
ing, acting secretary of state, who is supposed to have
received his training from his father-in-law, John W.
Foster, whose experience in statecraft was long and
varied. Some of these editors, however, overlook the1
fact that President Wilson himself is no novice in the
matter of international law, having devoted years of
study and research to the acquiring of such knowledge.
Before he was president of Princeton Woodrow Wilson
was a professor of jurisprudence and international law
in that university and in 18DS he published a condensed
history of all the governments of the world under the
simple title "The State," which has been since used in
Vale and other universities as a standard textbook.
As one of our exchanges remarks it is a book that
should be in the home of every American citizen. Now
is a particularly good time to read it, or to re-read it, if
by chance you were so fortunate as to have studied it in
your earlier years. The chapters on the governments of
England, France and Germany will give a better idea of
the conditions which led up to the present upheaval of
Europe than almost any other available book because it
was written in times of peace when such questions could
Ik: calmly and impartially analyzed.
There were :1S57 copies of the Daily Capital Journal
sent to regular subscribers and sold on the streets Satur
day. That's a circulation which the publishers are
not ashamed of and best of all it is growing steadily and
surely without the aid of any special campaign methods.
The second city in the state in size and commercial im
portance ought to have the best and biggest newspapers
outside of Portland, and the Capital Journal is proving
that it has acquired that distinction already.
The campaign for a greater army and navy in this,
country is on in earnest. Press headquarters have beenj
opened and ready-made editorials and news stories are!
being sent out to the newspapers. The manufacturers of j
war material are no doubt paying the freight. One;
Richard Wayne Parker, whose address is Prudential,
Building, Newark, N. J.. a congressman, has iust sent a
lot of this kind of stuff to the Daily Capital Journal.
Why Win. J. Bryan likens Colonel Roosevelt to Helen
of Troy is not as clear as it might be. According to
Homer, the only historian of that remote age, it was
Helen's great beauty that caused all the trouble.
Carramja is evidently preparing to follow in the foot
steps of his illustrious predecessors. He has already left
the mainland of Mexico and has taken up a-position where
the route to Europe is open.
The Pheasants and Fallisarians are coming to the
Salem cherry fair for sure and more than likely the
Rosarians and Radiators will be here, too. The Cherrians
we have with us always.

The Oregon Farmer talks most sensibly when it calls
attention to the fact that it is quite a temptation, when
one reads that the United States egg crop sold for seven
hundred million dollars last year, to lay glowing plans
for getting rich from the product of the poultry yard.
Yet comparatively few succeed in making chickens pay
on a large scale, but small flocks are nearly always profit
able. This is the dill'erence between theory and' practice,
for on paper the big poultry farm always pays. The
trouble lies in the fact that comparatively few people are
fitted by nature and practice to specialize in this particular
branch of livestock. Some are, and they succeed. For
those who are not, it is belter to have several strings to
their bows. A few cows, a few hogs, enough fruit and
some chickens will support a family comfortably on a
small place. Until one's ability along one particular line
develops sirongty, u is wise lo go slow on the specializing.
