NO TROUP.U-: TO GET MEN The quick and general response to the call for men to bring the National Guard of the states up to war footing, condition of the men and consequently for the victories. They are the chaps that put the boys in marching trim with their bellies filled with well cooked grub, that makes them stand the days hardships and brings them in at the end of a long hike in good condition. While they are not the vhole thing for the same reason the ancient mariner was so many things, they can sing just as truth fully as did he: "Oh, I'm a cook and a Captain bold, And the mate of the Nancy brig; And a bo'sun tight, And a midshipmite. And the crew of the Captain's gig." cives answer to the question as to how long it would! comfort. i.;itt' in 1 tiirtu iiu mult - v Today is credited with being the longest of the year, though the difference between it and yesterday and what it will be tomorrow is infinitessimal. Yesterday was so cold the weather clerk got ashamed of himself for absent mindedly tearing a leaf out of the November calendar instead of that of June, and promised warmer weather today. Yesterday the mercury dropped down to 4!) and perhaps lower, and a good fire was a great aid to 1 4 ft is foreign invasion. Here in Salem we saw me uuwu gather at the armory offering to enlist, and every place in the United States saw the same thing. The average American does not care to belong to the militia in time of peace. There are several reasons for this. Perhaps the main one is the American idea ot absolute freedom, each one wanting to do as he pleases and when he pleases. To belong to the militia requires the surrendering of time and the interference with the doing of other things that bring the individual greater; pleasure. The average American wants to do things ot his own volition, and he is so constructed mentally that if compelled to do the things he otherwise wanted to do he would refuse, if possible, to do them. He wants to go fishing or hunting, and militia duty at times might interfere with this? It would at times in terfere with his social affairs, his auto excursions or things of that kind and he refuses to have his private life hampered in this manner. When, however, it comes to the real thing and his country needs him, there is but one sentiment, and that is that the country is en titled to his services and he freely gives all there is in him lot the ciuo There is no question as to the ability of the country t,. vaien nil tho men needed in case of war. timer oui present system they would be untrained, of course, but ig nQ g, the American learns quickly and as most o. them are ac-jandpol customed to handling fire arms they can soon be madij into first class soldiers. At the same time laying the mi itary benefit of turn-, ing aside, there is no better physical training than that; if forded by military drill. This especially lor the yo ng. ; It gives bearing and "set" to the body and a straighte ; and b tter carriage. Its mental training is also good for it teaches respect for others, and obedience to Kux ful, commands. The present war ike movement 1 sti the youngsters to emulate their elders and awaken a stiong- eTwSSer be any trouble to getthe -ndget them in a hurry. If the country is yak be in its ability to arm and equip all who iU o Uei tnu i . ser ces n tin e of need. Salem takes especial pride in her ovs of Conipnny M. for they . were irst on he ground and the strongest company in the state. No oi weTe hey first, but when notified during the night tha j they xuS needed, were at their armory and could have been on the way to the front as soon as they had then breakfast, or for that matter before it was read . j The nock of utterly silly rumors that are given wing by some one and that find credence, is simply Yesterday for instance, one was that Geinian ha ot'ieml the United States to withdraw her troops fr om Mexico. Another that war had commenced and the ( i gon militia, or at least Company M had not s ton d a Clackamas, but was sent direct to Mexico. Still am thei wi thal Carranza had marched into Toxas at the head of a big army and a desperate battle was raging, hue were dozens of them besides made of such gauzy mate na that no one would apparently take notice ot them but they were believed by some for the Capital Journal phone was busy at times denying them. Rio Vista. California, employes are trying the costly plan of importing strike breakers, in an attempt to smash the strike of the bay and river boatmen. It there was as much danger of life in this plan, to the employers as there is to both strikers and strike breakers, it would seldom be used. ft lb. JO W HOT WEATHER You say, "Great Scott! The day is hot! The solar rays are pelting, on my old form, till I'm so warm that all my lard is melting'" And when you meet, upon the ' street, some other panting duffers, each has his say about the way he sizzles, sweats and suffers. The more you think you're on the blink, the more you will be fretting; when ills abound and throng around, there's nothing like forgetting. We fume and curse, and pet and nurse our every punk affliction, when, if we'd smile and josh awhile, 'twould leave our jurisdiction. When heat is hot, I say, "I wot, no kick of mine will change it; the weather man pur sues his plan, and roars will not derange it. I did not weep when snows were deep, and in the blast I shivered, and I'll not sulk because in bulk the heat is now delivered. It does not help to howl and yelp, there good in snorting: I'll think of floes and Eskimos, ar bears cavorting. i 4 iHtfWiaa rang iL-aMaaaabmpm w'l... 39 ril !

Kilitnr .Tniuniil: Your 1 11 1 t-rt-st i 11 p di turiril on tile loss of the sr on insh i p Bear contained some food for tliounlit. In deed, as you humorously intimate, the causes of 'the loss will lie " evei vthinir " but what ins really the cause. There is one point in this latest disaster wh'u h , appears to have been entirely overlook ed by the press, as I have not seen a single mention made of it. and that is. What of her ballast? She ha heen re- ; fusiiifi freight on neeount of the strike ami was she sent to sea with women an, I children on board without suf ficient ballast? Kithcr tho Bear or the Heaver, a sister ship. was recently blown about in the Willamette river' and nearly collided with the Bread way bridge and this when the strike was on. if a boat will become nn manageable in the river, what may hap pen on a stormy sea? Tf she has not been carrying any freight, perhaps she stuck so kick oiit of the water that the wind .just blew lier ashore at Cape Mendocino. Investigation, if made in ! regard to her ballast, may give us the j real cause, after all. Dispatches said 'she was carrying 1.001 tons of cement, i between Portland and San Pedro on ae : count of the strike, but as a matter of fact, was she not us'iinr this as ballast? Are l.non tons of cement- sufficient bal-, ; last for a boat that size J The fact that ; tl row had made this trip many time! and were familiar w ith the rocks at the j cape w ould indicate that (key were help-i less when the skip got away from tliem. rtoiv could slie get away unless ske was skimming the surface of the sea at the' mercy of the wind? The location ofj the wreck points to something morej than bad seamanship. The Peter iv j dale lies on Seaside beach from want of ballast. It is nothing new to loss of ; shins.
