Uncle bam is a modern Aladdin, and he has the lamp the genii must obey. All your uncle has to do is to rub almost any old thing with gold and he gets what he wants. The story of the building of Camp Mills equals anything told of the genii of the lamp. One day there is a pasture where peaceful cows absorb the clover and fill their reticules with milk for the he dairymaid of those modern days to pull out by the handles provided for the purpose; and the next day there is a city capable of hous ing 20,000 men, with all the modern conveniences of water systems, sewers, electric lights, baths and all such. And most of these are things neither Aladdin nor the genii ever heard of, let alone tried to create. It is the magic touch of gold that does it, and perhaps that was the material Aladdin used. It has always proved most powerful as an emolient and never required much rubbing to make it soak in. of The Capital Journd O I CHARLES E.

Aueust. 21 was an eventful day in American history, since on that day the veterans of the civil war ending 52 years ago, marched lor tne last ume in mtuuiui parade, at Boston. There were 10,000 members of the Grand Army of the Republic in line, strong of spirit though advanced in years, who more than half a century ago sustained the flag amid the surgings of desperate and doubtful battle. To the country it is a pathetic event, marking as it does the passing of the annual gathering of the nation's most honored society. Half a century seems a long time to the young man looking forward, but to the aged whose feet approach the end of the journey, how pitifully short. Looking back and recalling the old comradeship it seems but yesterday that they marched side by side, slept in the same dog tent, shared the same old hardtack, drank from the same canteen and faced danger and death together. Someone has said that the view of life from the standpoint of youth and age is like looking into opposite ends of a telescope. To the voung, life seems exceedingly large, to the old pitifully small? And so it is to these aged veterans who indulging in reminescences find their youth is but a span away, and events of half a century ago are mixed and mingled with things of recent date until all are equally close. Yesterday old scenes were recalled, old times lived thev aoain marched with oner- u k. M. .fiul the callant Tb.om.aa, went with. Grant down the Mississippi or at Appomattox saw the end of the four years of fratricidal strife. The city was gay with flags and bunting in their honor and the streets lined with thousands moved too deeply, almost, for the cheers which greeted their coming. The nation was there in spirit, and could the grand old men have realized the good wishes in the hearts of mil lions of Americans in all parts of the country-South as well as North; they, better than any, could have given the lie to the assertion that republics are ungrateful. They have made their last parade but in the history of the world the story of the war fought that liberty might live and the people of the world moved by the spirit of democracy might at last realize to the full the brotherhood of man, the page that recounts their deeds will be one to which the eyes of generations to come will turn with reverence. It is suggestive too, that as the veterans of one war fought in the cause of liberty made their last parade, another army, their children and grandchildren, is gathering to again carry the old flag, their flag, across the ocean, and under its folds, it need be pour out their life blood in another war for humanity and the rights of man. And such of these as return will take the place of honor, and in a few years they too will be the nation's most cherished possession, the new grand army, not alone of the republic but of the world. They go forth buoyant and unafraid, and with the memory of the G. A. R. ever before them they will bring back the old flag unsullied and a record that will be honored by the world, even by those whom they now go abroad to fight The governor, so a dispatch yesterday announced, pledged himself to the governor of California that he would build a road along the coast to connect with a similar road in California. . Does this mean the governor will exert his influence with the state highway commis son, which should be great since he appointed its mem bers, to construct this road from the bonds voted last summer? If so where will those rpads other than the scenic ones get any money or have a chance to get any where except on the map? The I. W. W. gang is much like a bass drum; nothing in it, but capable of making a large amount of inharmon ious noise. At Butte, Montana, where the miners are striking for shorter hours and opposing being overworked a small infant that could not help itself, was made to do over time before the exemption board, appearing before that body with seven separate and distinct fathers all claim ing exemption because it was dependent on their labors for its support. The proverb says: Its a wise child that knows its own father," and this is certainly true of this unfortunate little Butte infant who had seven fathers and each of them a slacker. But say ! wouldn't that kid enjoys circus day, with seven husky fathers to buy him peanuts? . - A storv is told of an Englishman coming to this coun try a great many years ago wh.o saw in Boston, for the first time, a fire engine in action. He watched it a long time and turned to a bystander with an expression of wonder on his countenance and exclaimed: "Deah me who would have evah supposed so diminutive an object could contain so enormous a quantity of watah." That is about the way the I. W. W's sized up, only they con tained a surprising quantity of noise instead. A poultry expert solemnly advises amateur poulterers and the family with a half dozen or so hens, to feed them corn because wheat is too high. The advice is good for the reason that wheat is so scarce that it is needed, every pound of it, for human consumption. As to the saving in cost of feeding, though, the expert is badly off; corn costing here in Oregon more than wheats It it much like Marie Antioninette suggesting that the hungry populace crying for bread should eat cake. Four hundred citizens of Oklahoma sent senator Gore a telegram yesterday asking him to resign, since he no longer represented the people of his state. Now if those responsible for Bob LaFollette would send him a similar request, and then see that he accepted the invitation, af fairs of the country would be in better shape. A battle along a front of 435 miles is sure some scrap. It is some battle too in the way of fighting, for the Italians claim, the Austrian lost in killed and wounded above 10,000 men besides that many being taken prison ers. Around Verdun too the fighting was fierce and the casualties great. '-. ! j The Commercial Club by resolution passed Monday night thanked the Southern Pacific for its good intentions in the matter of planking the steel bridge. This ought to make the S. P. feel real cheerful coming as it does, from Salem. A poem in the Oregonian makes a rather pretty com parison concerning "chalk banks on the highest peaks.' This is an example of poetical license, for "chalk banks on the highest peaks" would to a geologist, be a remark able curiosity.

While the world today looked to President Wilson for the next peace move, quiet contin ued in all belligerent countries on the subject of the pope ' proffer. The people of this eountry, busy with their daily chores, are silently leaving to the president solution of the prob lem. The president himself has been too engaged with pressing war business to discuss the peace note with any one. Having directed priority shipment of coal to the Great Lakes region, yes terday, tho president today was await ing word from the man he has asked to become the country's fuel director. An swer is expected today. The federal trade commission's re port on oil production costs is ready for the president- The steel cost report, completed some day. ago, will be sub mitted, probably today. The shipping board expected to an nounce today contracts for standardized labricated steel ships and simultaneous ly it was learned that threatened ship yards strikes will be prevented by a general increase in wages from the gov ernment. Senator LaFollette tried to jam down The Kaiser as Seen by American Novelist (Medford Mail Tribune) Twenty-nine years ago, Harold Fred eric, a famous American novelist of the period, was the Berlin correspondent of the New York Times. The old German emperor, William the First, had recent ly died. His son, Friedrich William, an able man with liberal tendencies and an English wife, lay dying of cancer. The young crown prince, destined to be William tho Second, was impatiently waiting for the time he should mount tho throne. All the world wa. wonder ing what manner of man he wa. ana what he would do to the peace at Europe.
