A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE Senator Lewis speaking at a .banquet given him by old Seattle friends, Thursday night, called attention to the fact that after the war is over this country will face trobble with several countries, and especially with Japan. He asserted that the Mdnroe doctrine would certainly get us into trouble sometime, and we must either be ready to defend, or abandon it. The European nations, he thinks, will make renewed efforts to gain a foothold on the American continent, and Japan will not always accept the treatment given her in regard to the standing of her peo ple in this country and their being denied the right to own land. He thinks Japan will demand of her present allies that they help her to compel America to grant her subjects the same rights as are granted all other nations. At the same time he thinks the issue in the next political campaign will be whether .America will enforce her doctrines and bear the expense of the increased necessary navy and the taking over of islands adjacent to us that might be used as a base of attack by foreign powers. This he says we must either do or qualify our Monroe and Asiatic doctrines so as to allow the world to come into America just as we are demanding to go into the world. Naturally, if we fail to grant these concessions the countries we discriminate against will retaliate by ex cluding our goods and later, if this does not accomplish the object, by excluding our people. If we resent this, as we probably will, we will require a strong navy for it will mean war, and that war will be fought largely on the ocean. Senator Lewis discussed the matter at some length and gave his hearers as well as the country at large, food for some hard thinking. County Judge Merrick of Baker county has no great i-i t, ..-M.Mfo nanoinn liw nnrl liUHitiSeS takinff llKillg AU1 Ultr pv.'"""" i 1 - some cases arising under it in his county, if necessary to the supreme court. The dispute started over the filing of claims under the law, for back pensions, amounting to more than $4,000. The judge points out that the last law on the subject gives county judges large discretion, and that they can find it in many cases for the best interest of the children that they be sent to some state institution. This would remove the grounds on which pensions are applied for, and intimates he will give this course a trial. r?..r,A Arii-mvi nf S:m Frnnciseo wants a divorce. He alleges that when he married he expected to and was will-' ing to support seven pledges of affection his wife ac cumulated in a previous marriage, but he did not expect to support the wives the boys acquired later, and draws the line at taking care of the two blushing brides recentlj brought home by them and installed at the family table. His wife savs this is "cruel and inhuman treatment and so filed a counter claim. The decree was granted. Fred now has a separate stall and feeds by himself. Philadelphia and Brooklyn met yesterday ,on the diamond, but only to part as Jupe Pluve took a hand and made a regular sea of the field during the third and the game was called thus keeping all baseball fandom on the rack and almost inducing nervous prostration for some of them. It may be settled today, or at least it will be nearer the end. In his speeches yesterday Hughes declared that he favored the eight-hour day for working men. Then what in the world has he been kicking about ever since congress passed the Adamson bill? The dispatches dailv tell how tired Mr. Hughes is. Still whatever condition of weariness he may reach, it will be trifling to that of the reading public caused by his scoldings. "With twenty-two big ships operated by one company it would seem the Pacific Coast is at last coming into its own in the way of ocean transportation. In his speech in Seattle Thursday night Senator Lewis of Illinois, made this clear statement of the enactment and effect of the eight-hour day law for railroad work ingmen: "Judge Hughes says there should have been arbitration. I answer, there was no law in existence providing for arbitration. There was; no law to en force any arbitration. I remind Judge Hughes that his party came into power after Cleveland, at the end of the great Pullman car strike. They were also in power when the telegraphers had their universal strike. But his party passed no law to prevent a repetition of such strikes or to provide arbitration. I ask Judge Hughes under what law was there to be arbitration? Who were to be the arbitrators? And what does he say could have been done to prevent the strike while the attempt at arbitration, which had been progressing for months with out success, continued? Judge Hughes says the people will ,pay. Why will the people pay any more than they have been 'paying? The railroads have always made the people pay. The last returns by the railroad, made under oath, show that for the last railroad year, ending the first of last month, 55 railroads, one-third of the total in the United States, had made net over one billion dollars. If it be true, as they claim, that $50,000,000 are to be taken from the public to pay the increased wages under the eight-hour law, which might give more food, better clothes and better conditions to the toilers, let it be seen that even then the roads are still in possession of a net profit of $950,000,000, and this but one-third of them. Is this not enough?" The horse show last night again drew a great crowd and demonstrated that it is a feature of the fair that has come to stay. This being the case the fair board will be forced to make some arrangement for seating the visitors. It was an experiment this year, arid the tem porary arrangement, while probably the best that could be secured hastily are far from satisfactory. Part of the seats were all right, having foot rests, but a large por tion of them was not so provided, and the visitors bal anced on the little narrow boards with no place to put their feet, and squirmed and twisted in utter discomfort for three hours. Their movements reminded one of a lot of chickens trying to get settled down on their roost, only they never settled. That the horse show is a winning card is thoroughly demonstrated by the fact that the big audience stayed on the roost to the end. As usual the Capital Journal, because of its full leased - . 111! 1 1 wire United Press service, was enaoieci 10 give us read ers the British view' of the war Thursdays through a voirmvL-nh.lv frank interview with David Llovd-Geoi'ge. It was a great newspaper beat, and no Associated Press paper had a line regarding it. Almost daily the Capital Journal gives its readers exclusive news from Germany through Carl Ackerman, the special representative of the United Press at Berlin, which is far more reliable than anv matter received bv rival news associations, as has been proven time and again. The Capital Journal s telegraphic news service is beyond question the most com plete of an ypaper in this territory and in a large measure accounts for the .popularity of this paper with the read ing public. As an additional feature at last night' horse show the Portland Hunt club nave an -exhibition of hritem,i. ship wrth 24 horses in the show ring at one time that brought rounds of ap plause from the spectators. The red coots of the men and the black habits of the women riders formed a pleasing spectacle that' was never before witness ed in Salem. The last night of the horse show bronchi tn regular horse show ever pulled off in this city and which proved to be the drawing card of the state fair this year. Governor ithycomb's saddle mare l.oretta also gave an exhibition of her class and displayed six gaits ending with ft slow pace.

LYTLE WINS HIS SUIT LADD &BUSH, Bankers Established 186S CAPITAL - - - - $500,000.00 Transact a General Banking Business Safety Deposit Boxes SAVINGS DEPARTMENT Colonel Roosevelt is billed to speak in Michigan at Battle Creek. So far no notice has been given of his be ing sent to St. Louis or into Wisconsin where his old time friend, LaFollette holds forth. The committee is finding it difficult to find places where the Colonel's ap pearance will not do more harm than good. It would probably overcome the difficulty by not having him speak anywhere, but realizes that the colonel would not survive an enforced silence during a whole campaign, so he is given a chance to let his safety valve get loose occas- ! ionally. Lovers of the lowly sinker may have to use a micro scope to find it, if the bakers keep on reducing its size. The law of compensation however is at work and as the doughnut becomes smaller the hole gets larger. ftippirngRhumGs' RUBBER TIRES Some soothing balm the soul requires. when one must fuss with rubber tires. I am a highly moral man; I guard my tongue the best I can; and if, perchance, I cuss a streak, remorse lambasts me for a week. A model I would gladly be, to growing youth and infancy, and ere I got a motor car, my fame for virtue traveled far. But often now I may be seen, all bathed in sweat and gasoline, -and spotted o'er with rancid grease, dispensing words that break the peace. I Jack my car up with my lyre, and try to patch a busted tire, and while I labor in the ditch, I'm laughed at by the idleX'ich, who whiz along in pomp and state, and jeer the more unlucky skate. And as I toil with wrench and crank, I keep on saying, "Blinky blank," and children toddling on their way give ear to smoky things I say, and as they leave, on learning bent, they whisper, "What a sinful gent!"

It was n gay, laughing group that trooped into the dining room. Although it was to be a formal dinner there was no formality among my guests. The oh si and the ah si that greeted their first view of the room was proof of that. I had seated Mr. and Mrs. Franklyn iu the place of honor, and put Mr. Brooke as far from me as pos sible. He went iu with Daisy Moore, a pretty girl soou to be married to n western man. But I frequently caught him looking at me, nnd iu such an ad miring lunnuer that I felt myself flush ing. My dinner, from the first course of iced'melous filled with small fruits to the roffee nnd liquers, was i success. Mandy really outdid herself. Each course elicited praise from everyone. "I shall tiever dare give another din uer as long as I live! " oueyouug niatiou declared, "that is. unless Mrs. Ham mond will lend me her cook." "Your dinner was perfect. " Mr. Frnnklyu said ns we left the table. . . Handy Scores. I was so pleased nnd happy I didn't know what to do. The dinner had gone off without a single hitch, Kate and Annie had served perfectly. Had Clif ford beea home I don't believe even he would have found a thiug to grumble about. "You are a very accomplished little woman." a voice said at my elbow, and I turned to find Leonard Brooke smiling dow n on me. " Your dinner and service were perfect." "Oh, I am so glad," I returned. "1 was so awfully afraid it wouldn't be. You know- I never gave a real dinner party before." "Then you are all the more wonder ful. Did you have a decorator arrange vour flowers?" "Why, no! I did that myself." "Then you are a fairy, I believe. I'm going to watch for fear you sud denly disappear drive off in a pump kin coach or something like that. A modern Cinderella. But really I can hardly believe that ydn could manage such an affair; you look so young." Was it any wonder I was happy, in spite of Clifford's having left me? "I Din young." I replied. "Perhaps that's the reason I wao a little nerr ous." Just then Kate brought in the card tables, so there was no more time to talk. We played five hundred, as we were ou uueven number for bridge. Ev eryone seemed gay and happy. The women all looked so pretty, the men so fine, that suddenly I fouud myself wish ing that Clifford could look in on them. He would surely be pleased could he see what an attractivelot of young peo ple they were. If he would ouly meet them, he couldn't help liking them. "Why so quiet.'" Leonard Brooke .-ked. ' "I was wishing Mr. Hammond could have beeu at home." "It's too bad he isn't." Mr. Franklvn broke in; "he doesn't know what he's missing." A Social Success. I chanced the suhiect bv ,1rau;n attention to a bad play I had just made. I did nut care to commit myself more man was necessary concerning Clifford. He was so uncertain. I kaew so little of his nlaas that I felt it ui ..no-;n talk about him. They remained until after 1 o'clock, when they all went away together. Just before Leonard Brooke 'said good night he asked mo if he might come in the next evening for a few minutes. "Certainly," I replied. "I shall be glr.d to see you. I am going South the next day, you know." "Yes, I' know. That's the reason I want to come.' ' I was so happy I couldn't sleep. I lived every minute of the evening orer nd over. It was my first affair. It had beeu an unqualified success. It augured well for the future. (Monday MY Brooke Culls.)
