This is about what would be ex pected of the Col6nel but it is not "ikely to materialize, for it is hardly probable any American soldiers will be sent to Europe to take part in the war. America's stand is not a taking sides with the? allies as against Germany or her allies. It is settling a matter of her own. A determin ation to protect the lives of her people on the seas. That is all. What it may eventually lead to is of course only a matter of conjecture, but at present it would seem that America's part in the war would be only that which the navy will be called upon to take care of. At the same time it has awakened the country to a realization of its weakness, and to the necessity of pre paring for the future. It is fortunate' the trouble has come as it has, and with a nation that cannot approach us, at the present at least. It gives us time to get ready for what may come and to put ourselves in condition to meet whatever may come in the future. . A wave of partiotism has swept over the country, and the necessity of military training is forced upon us by conditions. Any who read the story of the present war cannot help but realize the helpness condition in which England found herself when the war cloud broke. She had her fleet, and this was her salvation, for it enabled her to sweep the seas of her enemy, and at the same time shut off a large part of that enemy's supplies. France was not fully prepared, but she was far ahead of England in that line and was able with the aid of the Belgians to check and hold the Germans until aid arrived. It took England almost two years to get her armies in thorough shape. Russia was also unprepared, for while she had an abundance of men she was illy provided with guns and munitions. It was this unpreparedness that made possible the succession of drives made by the central allies. Had Russia been prepared as was Germany and Austria, Serbia would not have been devastated, nor Rumania so easily taken. Belgium's preparedness and prompt action alone saved France from a second capitu lation such as it made in 1870. The moral to be drawn from all this Is that prepared ness docs not make for war, but is on the other hand the strongest kind of a force for peace. Any nation will hesi tate long before attacking such a country as the United States when it is fully prepared for defense. For this reason the objections to universal training have been swept aside, and that it will be adopted by this country seems assured. : ' . There does not seem to be any other answer to the question, and even some of the most rabid cf the pacifists have turned squarely about and are advocates of uni versal military training. The farmers are evidently not strong for the six mil lion dollar road bonding scheme. The head of the granges in the state has filed an argument against it with the secretary of state. Among the cost of completing tne roaas as outlined in uie out creating the highway commission will amount to $50,000, 000. He advocates letting the commission get some prac tice with the funds that will be at its disposal anyway, which will be nearly one million dollars a year. On the other hand a vigorous campaign is being made by those advocating the measure, and the fight gives promise cf becoming a hot one before election day, June 4. ' One of the horrors of war that may be brought home to the people of Salem is that it will afford the Southern Pacific Company an excuse for not buildine a new depot. Excuses had about been exhausted but, of course, the railroad company could not be expected to do anything in the way of improvement as long as the war continued. Tn fact, if war comes it will provide an excuse for not do ing a great many things, and corporations like the South ern Pacific will be quick to avail themselves of it.

It is a good old pioneer name, one in terwoven with the state's history", and one which all old Oregonians hold dear. It may not be much in the way of euphony, but it requires neither perfumery nor ribbons to make it sweet in memory and beautiful a a souvenir. No, Mr. Commissioners, let the city woodpile be swiped if you must, but at least allow the streets to retain their good names. . , A Los Angeles man who has hem sued for divorce sets up a counter plea that his wife always disinfected her mouth after he kissed her. This it strikes the average man should be something in her favor. It showed a delicacy of feeling on her part that is deserving of the highest praise. She might have insisted on disinfecting his mouth before permitting the kissing, instead of taking the trouble all to herself. What would he have thought of her had she insisted on filling his mouth with peroxide of hydrogen and making him wait until it stopped bub bling before permitting the osculation? After the tornado which swept over New Albany, In diana Friday had passed, the body of little two-year-old Martha Ehnnger was found in a near-by creek, her little dog clasped fast in her baby mates and friends and went to their death together.

Cheer up, cheer up! So help me John. I saw a robin on the lawn." But Sarah Jane, she said, said she, "This is the thing that puzzles me: You've seen, with tears and spirit aches, a thousand times, that signs are fakes. You've never seen a sign come true that is, if you de sired it to; and yet one robin on the lawn convinces you that winter's gone ! I won't believe that spring has come until the bees begin to hum, and there's no robin, caged or free, can work that sort of bluff on me." " ALL SXATS TROOPS NOW !

When I mntried Tom Kandall I made up my udnd that I would not only be wife, but chum, companion and sneet hearf'to the man 1 loved wjth all my heart. I confidently expected the reel of my life to ritu smoothly. Why shouldn't I? I loved, and was loved; et if it didu't, I was ready to weath er any storms because of my intense love for Tom. I was just uineteett. I had been told many times that I was beautiful, and my mirror confirmed the story I have sometimes wondered if Tom would have fallen iu hive, with me had I been plain. I was rather quiet in maimer, ratheV reserved. But intenselv proud of my educated, gifted husband, who was verr debonair, alivavg well groomed and attractive. He had been named for an uucie who it was expected would leave him a fortune. But. the elvter Tom Kan. lull had astcuiisdied and disgusted , nil his relative by marrying a young woman, who gav ham an heir, so ruin ing My Tom's prospects. I must confess that Tom was at tunes uncertain He was given to frequent outbursts of alternate joy-o-living, and i violent tempo when anything went, wrong. Foolishly I frowned upon upon both.

For May day a very elaborate pro gram is being planned' by Hap Miller, FOR BETTER FOR WORSE- cause I should have had no story to tell. The Wooing. I can close my eyes after the lapse of .years an 1 see the saffron woods where Tom -won nvy promise to marry him. I see too the setting sum glinting the yellow leaves as we lingered there together. I cait,smell the birch and pine and feel the falling leaves crackle tin der our feet as we walked hand iu hand Like two children. And in the gather ing dusk I can see his eyes, misty with lovelight shining down into mine. Tom was tall, broad shouldered, nar row hipped. He was dark complexion ed, almost sparthy; virile, and so vig ous in every movement that you felt his super-abundant life oozing toward you, invigorating, and iutensifyitrg your ow n nature- I never had kuown anyone quite like him before; never one who so enthralled my souses. Another attraction he had. His voice. It was deep, soaoroua; yet his. tones wire crisp, sometimes to the verge Of abruptness, or sharply incisive when his eyes flashed with the purpose of his speech. Oh, the mad- air-enstleing I gave way to when they v. ere turned up on me! Until I met him I had taken my good looks as a matter of course. But aft erward I was so grateful to heaven for her gifts. When I saw those dark eyes flash into mine writh admiration, my pulse ran high, my spirit fairly dnnced. When he talked my soul ran out to meet him and would not be turned awav. Vet Women who Know.

The price of happiness, so far as I have been able to find out, never has been accurately computed. I felt " so very rich, everyone else seemed ro poor because they didn 't have Tom. I wag really to serve him blindlv, no realizing that the highest, best love, while it gives, also takes: that too much giving is-a type of selfishness. I knew of course that for generations people had had their martial -difficulties, but I had bo fear that I ever should experience them. I. unlike many of my -girl friends, never hud been engaged until I met Tom. He wa my first, my last, almost my- only lover before we were married. I do not mean that I had no attention; that the boys of the small western town in w hich I lived had not been good com rades and playfellows; but I had listen ed to so serieus word of love. When.
