About one-fifth of this represents loans made by England to the allies and dependencies. The daily cost of the war to Great Britain has risen from five million dol lars per day at the start to the vast amount now of seven teen million, five hundred thousand dollars each day. To get some idea of the ceaseless flow of this great expendi ture, imagine that each hour of the day seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars is being used up, at the rate of twelve thousand dollars every minute. At that rate how long before the war clock will run down? The other day two men who were 3000 miles apart talked to each other, setting a. long distance talk record. While the women still hold most of the conversation records this looks like a deliberate attempt on part the mere men to invade a field in which they have heretofore made no attempt to gain supremacy. rri, TT;n.,.i;a Porm Stnf-V nnrl Knmfl has a view of The American newspapers are strictly neutral regard- the war, its possible ending from exhaustion and the con- ing the European war.

CONCERNING AN ILLUSION dition in which peace will find Europe when it finally comes, that is worthy of consideration. Attention is called to the fact that Cracker Box military experts are practically all agreed that two or three years more of fighting will exhaust the nations at war to a point where they can no longer ngni. insiory aoes not prove men point. In the four years of the Civil War the United States used up and destroyed one-fourth its property valuation as fixed in 18G1, it lost 1,000,000 men, and at the end of that time was easily the most powerful nation, speaking in a military sense, in the world. Something the same thing may happen in Europe. The basic wealth of the great nations is scarcely scratched. Compared to her present expenditures Great Britain's expenses during the Napoleonic wars were indeed staggering. She could ex pend twenty billions now as easily as the four billions she spent at that time. And the same applies to France and Germany. Financial exhaustion is not liable to end the war. The thing that may prove decisive may be lack of some small but very essential element of warfare. Can Paissia Ret guns and shells? Can Germany find a substitute for cotton? Can England keep her coal mines open at all times? These and a dozen lesser questions may, any one of them,' be deciding factors. Modern war by machinery is war by the strategy that forgets nothing and maintains all supplies at a maximum.. The point of actual exhaustion is not apt to be reached. And Europe will be at the day of peacemaking a continent schooled in all the arts of war organized in every way to carry on defense or conquest. If either- side loses its colonies, a new period of agrgession is before the world, and Central and South America, with Mexico As a cause for action, invite exploitation. Disarmament is of the future, and to all appearances of the far distant future. And in a world bent on settling its problems by war the only safe course is to be armed at least well enough so that the nation with a club and a pilfering desire will think thrice before striking. LABOR'S SHARE IN PROFITS and Paris every day showing that both sides had a distinct advantage in the fighting of the preceding twenty-four hours. What more could anyone ask? The original "Lawrence Y. Sherman for President" club is sending out campaign literature. And not one voter in a thousand could tell off-hand what state Sherman hails from or what official position, if any, he has ever held! The state fair which closed Saturday night was in all respects the most successful in the history of the associa tion and Salem day was the biggest day of all. There is everything to indicate that Bulgaria will be in the Belgium and Serbia class of destitution and desolation in about ninety days. Fi City Superintendent Believes Pupils Should Be Kept Busy Bulgaria seems to be undecided as to whether a drub bing at the hands of the Germans or the Allies would be more preferable. if - RipplihgRhumosfp! Division of profits between employer and employe is a vexed question that lies at the foundation of nearly all! industrial discontent. GOLDEN DAYS I'm glad to be living when Autumn is giving a ginger ous snap to the air; my labors I tackle with jubilant cackle, and pause not a moment to swear. In summer a fellow feels yawny and yellow, the heat takes the vim from his form: he's fussing and fret ting, and swatting and sweating, the days are so stupidly warm. But summer is end ed and climate that's splendid, refreshing and mild, is on tap, and there's no excuse for the world has no use for the lanquid and indolent chap. So put on your gaiters and gather the taters, and saw up some wood while you may, oh, don your goloshes and harvest the squashes, and fill up the corncriD witn nay. uet busy! remember "it doesn't muke so much differ-1 ence what the boys and girls study. I The main thing is trrgive them habits i of study, industry, honesty and moral-i ity, ami a perseverance to accomplish a duty assigned." j As expressed by Superintendent E1-; liott, in his talk lest evening at the' rirst Congregational church, the above is really the principal consideration in the schooling of the children. In referring to vocational training, lie was of the opinion that the program 01" studv that 'was adequate for the past generation, would not do for the boys! and girls now in the schools. Formerly,1 when the children were kept busy with chores or work at home, there was no; occasion for vocational training, but in! our present way of living, where the; home ciinnot otter enough work to keep! either the boy or girl busy, this vocn-j tioual training becomes almost neees-1 snry. One of the benefits of education j is to keep the children busy, and this; can be done through manual training; for boys and the domestic arts for, girls. With the great problem of keeping! the boys and girls busy, the superiii-i U'lident favored longer school hours,' not in the studying of books, but long-j er hours in the vocational department. I "n til this year, during the hours in vocational training, the grade teachers ! were not busy, but with the establish-' ment of the Junior high schools, every j teacher '8 time is fully taken during ail school hours. In practical training for the pupils, Mr. Klliott was of tho opin ion ilmt one fourth of the pupil's time could be given to vocational training, greatly to trie benefit of the pupil. Dr. Carl Gregg Donev expressed the idea that any organization is just what the individual members put into that organization, and that the man who has most in himself, will give the most. As to tho advantages of a higher edu cation, Dr. Doney claimed that those who do the most for a nation are the most highly trained, and therefore, a trained or educated man was of more valuo as a citizen. In referring to Willamette university as au educational factor in the com munity, ho hoped that the students of the university would bo no trained that Jhey would become a factor in not only this community, but wherever their lot should be cast, and that one of the objects of the schooling here was not only for a higher education, but that of making industrious, high minded and moral citizens.

The most common statement among the workinirmen is that they get only one-fifth of the profits on their labor! and that capital gets four-fifths, which is clearly not a! fair division. j But the National Civic Federation has made as care-l fill a study as possible of all the statistics available on the subject, iuose cover anout iu,uih,uuu wage and salary earners, or more than 2." per cent of the "gainfully em ployed" in the United States. The Federation reports that the average profit on us, and then when the rumpus of riotous weather begins, the man who got ready in days calm and steady, will look on the tempest with grins. each worker in the industries covered by the investigation, after deducting cost of material and expenses, is $885). Of' tins $.V.t0 or (!(. 1 per cent, goes on the average to the worker, and $25)5), or .":.( per cent, goes to capital. The worker, therefore, gets two-thirds on his labor and capital one-third. This is better than one-fifth but that does not close the question of fair division.
