(hoose. They believe that peace should
; rest upon th-3 rights of peoples, not the
rights of governments the rights of
peoples great or small, wetlk or power-

! security and self-government and to a

; economic opportunities of the world
; the lierman people, of course, included,
if they will accept equality and not
I seen domination.
"The test, therefore, of every plan
j of peace is this:
Militarism Must Go.
"It g based upon tho faith of all the
people involved or merely upon the
word of an ambitious and intriguing
government on the one hand and of a
I group of free peoples on the other! This
is a test wjucn goes to me root or tne
matter, and it is the test which must be
applied.
"The purposes of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come. They
do not need to be stated again. We
seek no material advantage of any kind.
We believe that the intolerable wrongs
done by this war by furious and brutal
power of the imperial German govern
ment ought to be repaired, but not at
the expense of the sovereignty of any
people rather a vindication of the sov
ereignty both of those that are weak
and those that are strong.
No Peace Without Justice.
"Punitive damages, the dismember
ment of empires, tho establishment of
selfish and exclusive economic leagues,
we deem inexpedient and in the end
worse than futile and no proper basis
for a peace of any kind, least of all for
an enduring peace. That must be based
upon justice and fairness and the com
mon rights of mankind.
"We cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guaran
tee of anything that is to endure un
less explicitly supported by such con
clusive evidence of the will and pur
pose of the German people themselves
as the other peoples of the world would
be justified in accepting.
"Without such guarantees, treaties
of settlement, agreements for disarma
ment, covenants to set np arbitration
in the place of force, territorial adjust'
ments, restitutions of small nations, if
made with the German government, no
man, no nation could now depend upon.
We must await some new evidence of
the purposes of the great peoples of
the central powers. God grant it may
be given goon and in a way to restore
the confidence of all peoples every
where in the faith of nations and the
possibility of a covenanted peace.

HOME MADE BEER GOOD
BUT "KICK" PROHIBITED
If It Contains Above IV2 Per
Cent Alcohol Unlawful to
Possess It
Have a drink.
Sure. What is it. Schlitzt Reminds
me of the days of long ago.
Guess again.'
Blue Bibbont .
"Say man, this is not any product
of Milwaukee or St. Louis. This was
made right here in Salem and I made
it myself. Beats the original article.
It tastes just the same, as there is
plenty of hops, the malt is there, sugar
gives the coloring and even better than
the old time article is the ftict there
is a lot more kick in the home made
article. The Milwaukee beer contains
four por cent alcohol while tho home
made variety will ferment easily six
oer cent and sometimes even more.'
Yep, its a fact. Within the past few
months the discovery has been made
that beer of tho home made variety can
be easily brewed. And not only that,
but it is much less expensive than the
old tunc, genuine brewery article. J.t
has been asserted that a judicious in
vestment of about one dollar in malt
extract, sugar, yeast and hops and a
recipe thrown in, will produce about
five gallons of the home variety of
beer with its six to seven per cent al
cohol. It Is Taboo
Of pmirsA if-, wnulri be terriblv in
convenient and even insultiu? should
an officer happen to appear and acting
under the law proceed to search the
premises for beer, for be it known, that
no one may lawfully possess any intox
icating liquor. And he may not possess,
nor may he manufacture any beverage
containing more than one half of one
per cent of alcohol, as the law prohib
its it.
Of course it is unlawful to manufac
ture the home made variety of ueer and
of course there is a penalty. Upon the
first conviction, the judge may impose
a fine of not more than $500, or not
more than six mouths in tho county
jail, or both. Kor the second offense, if
convicted, the judge can impose a heav
ier penalty. - -
Here is a section from tho so called
dry bone law: "It "shall be unlawful
for any person to receive, import, pos
sess, transport, deliver, manufacture,
sell, give or barter any intoxicating li
quor in this state."
And another section of the law spec
ifies that it shall be the duty of the
district attorney to investigate any vi
olations of tho bone dry law. He can
file an information direct or bring the
matter before the grand jury. And un
der the present law, he can subpoena
any persona who might know where the
ingredients were obtained and compel
them to divulge names. Of course, even
if one has the article in his possession,
that would be enough from tho view-,
point of the law.
Tf WmiM h an extremely poor ex
cuse should the manufacturer of the
home made beer plead that it was just
for home consumption, and that it was
mnnufnetured for family use. The su-
,,r,n nnnr of Oresron. in an opinion

The premises of .loe Mimisiom oi
u,.fion,l were searched and a keg ot
wine was found last month. He claimed
it was only for family use. He was con
victed and fined for violating the law
regarding rtie manufacture of intoxicnt
ing liquors, inc cant; won inc..
ed to the supreme court, which aftirm
ed the findings of the lower court. Al
though tho defendant claimcu uiai j

preme court held this was manutactur-
Hence, should any one ambitious to
make a little home niado beer, just mix
the four or five ingredients, then let
them alone while the- .fermentation
takes idace. vet in -case of an investi
gation by the grand jury, he would
have but little satisfaction in claiming
he did not make it. The supreme court
has decided in the Marastoni opinion
that the law was violated. (See Oregon
Decisions, advance sheets of July 11,
1917.) . . .
Justice McBnde's Opinion
In afirming the findings of the mu
nicipal court of Portland, wherein Ma
rastoni was found guilty of breaking
th'c bone dry law in the mnnulacture
and possession of wine for home use,
Chief Justice McBride concludes his
findings as follows:
"No doubt to many of our citizens
accustomed to the use of wine as a
table beverage to the same extent that
others use tea or coffee or milk, such
extreme legislation may seem drastic
and harsh. It certainly seems so to the
writer, but whatever may be our indi
vidual opinions they must yield to the
mandates of tho law."
So there you have it. The words ot
Chapter 40, of laws of 1H17, page 46
of session laws are plain enough: ' It
shall be unlawful for any person to re
ceive, import, possess, transport, de
liver, manufacture, sell, give away or
barter av intoxicating liquors in this
state.7' And the supreme court has jus.
decided the law is constitutional.
All of which seems to indicate that
the man who is manufacturing nis nuw
supply of beer or has any in his pom
session is a violator of the law. Chief
Justice McBride says the law seems
rather drastic and harsh but he ""also
says every man must yield to its man
dates. LOKD OBEY DEAD.

battlefield in the futuro that they have
in the past and tho war has been pro
longed up to the present time largely
owing to the shelter of the trenches.
The .'jttady rise in power of (he Al
lies and corresponding decline among
the Central Powers strengthens the
hopes of an early peace: albeit the end
of the war is not yet in ,view. Germany
is Dy no means exhausted to the point
of submission to the well known terms
of the Allies. Nor are the Allies yet
able to deliver a decisive military blow.
At the moment their policy appears to
be that of wearing the enemy down;
the relative "rise or fall in the strength
of opposing armies being of more sig
nificance for the time being than the
acquisitions of territory which are
geographically trifling. As a war goes
on, talking and planning for peace be
come more and more definite. Opinion
is divided as to what the effect will
be upon American trade, much depend
ing upon the individual point of view.
Oid Conditions Oone.
There is no doubt that peace will neces
sitate extensive readjustments. These
will come gradually and will by no
means demand a return to old condi
tions which is impossible. Concerns de
voted to war business will be obliged
to wrap considerable of their plant or
prepare for other lines of work. War
profits would of course disappear, and
a few lines of endeavor would tease en
tirely. But very important offsets
would quickly appear. The fact that
the world had turned its face from
destruction to reconstruction would at
once set loose great economic forces.
Optimism would promptly succeed des
pair, and the work of rebuilding and re
arranging the civilized world would
start with a vigor that would soon
overcome all confusion and hesitancy.
Our steel mills would receive no more
war orders, but far better, they would
be pressed with orders for shipbuilding,
for railroads, for buildings and for all
kinds of construction work in all parts
of the world. Our textile mills would
soon recover from loss of war orders
and be fully occupied with both domes
tic and foreign orders. Our secondary
industries, such as automobiles, type
writers, agricultural implements, ma
chinery, etc., would also be pressed
with orders to make good war losses
in Kurope. Our mineral producers
ould be equally sure of good markets
and good prices; -so, too, would the
American farmer who may rest assured
of good prices for all he can grow for
some years to come. The truth is war
has impoverished the whole world. The
waste of life and wealth has been in
conceivable. Millions of lives have
been destroyed or impaired, and-the ex
penditures for war since 1!14 of all na
tion, have been over 90,000,000,000.
Everything Is Scarce.
Everything grown or made by the hand
of man is scarce. Tears will be re-

will do about a government with which
the allies cannot conclude peace."
The allies will send individual replies
to tne Vatican.
Vp To German People
Washington, Aug. 29. Peace rests up
on the decision of the German people
uui. upuu ineir ruier. ine peace door
is swung wide, but the Teutons must
come through it without Kaiser Wil
helin as their leader. Else they must
be pounded and pierced until sheer steel
convinces them that the kaiser's mil
itaristic program is impossible, either
for themselves or for the safety of the
world.
This emphasizes today President Wil
son's answer to the pope's peace prof
fer, probably now in the bands of the
pontiff. His rejection of peace at 'this
time stands out in diplomatic annals as
one of the most virile state papers of
this war. Yet it is tempered with an
other direct offer to Germany to get
peace by spurning kaiserism with its
horrors and insincerity. Tho president
realized that it is no mean tak to get
the thought into the German people's
minds, though the germ of democracy
has already been sown there nourish
ed by suffering.
Kaiser Will Suppress It.
Germany will doubtless withhold the
message from her press, but it will
nevertheless leach the nation by aero
plane couriers to a limited degree. Prep
aration for tnis distribution is now un
der way.
Senators and diplomats hailed Presi
dent Wilson's message enthusiastically.
All agreed he could do no less that
spurn the pope's proposals, based on
return to the status quo and its pos
sibilities of letting Germany repair fot
another outrage against the world.
Diplomats particularly the Russian
pointed out that the answer is vir
tually Russia 's program no forcible an
nexations; no punitive indemnities; free
development of all nntions, and no eco
nomic war after the war. This thought
is destined to hearten Russia, to gain
the support of parties throughout the
world who oppose conquest and to cor
respond to some pacifist programs'.
Even more important, insofar
peace prospects are concerned.is tho an -
nouncement that the president desires
no dismemberment of empires; that this
is not a war to crush Germany as a na
tion; but rather to put her on an equal
plane with other nations minus Wil
helm's dreams of world domination.
No Treaty is Binding,
Incidentally the president's message
strikes at both postbellum trade wars
onsidered by the Paris conference of al
lies and at proposed Austro-Germau
trade conquctts.
Clearlv and unmistakably the presi
dent reiterates that tho United States
seeks no aggrandizement for herself,
that she hopes only for the rights of
free peoples to dwell without the men
ace of German "big Berthas" at their
doors.
He scorned the thought that Germany
with the kaiser controlling could
write a peace pact that would be other
than a "scrap of paper" and suggest
ed that immediately Germany would
plot to cheat Russia of her new born
freedom.
His program of no punitive judemni-
quired to refill -the enormous vacuum,
and the scarcity of men or labor at a
time when most needed means high
wages, high prices and a long period of
industrial activity. Of course, there
will be periods of weakness and de
pression. There will be grave impover
ishment of some sections, as well as
the crushing burden of debt, upon all.
Dif ficulties, at present unpereeived,
are likely to develop, and recovery
from war does not mean escape from
all its losses. But let it distinctly be
kept in mind, peace when it does come
will find the United States elevated to
-fft pre-eminence industrially, commer
cially and financially that would have
required a generation to attain, had it
not been for this cataclysm in Kurope.
The war enriched us enormously, be
cause of the profits obtained in our
foreign trade and the fact that we have
been the least affected of any of the
great nations. We have suddenly be
come world bankers, securing a posi
tion that will not be surrendered. Even
should Great Britain recover her lead
ership after the war, we will still be a
close second, instead of a distant third
or fourth as before the war. Our for
eign trade shows phenomenal growth,
and while a better balance between im
ports and exports may be necessary,
still we have gained a foothold in for
eign markets that will not be relin
quished. The future of American ex
port trade is exceptionally brilliant.
By far the most significant result of
the war to Americans will be the re
storation of the United Ktates to a
fitting position as a maritime power.
To Be a Sea Power.
Our weakness in this respect has long
been a thorn in our national pride. Be
fore the war we ranked close to the
foot of the world's sea going tonnage;
but within a couple of years, thanks
to prompt seizure of a favorable oppor
tunity, this country may easily become
a good second to Great Britain as a
I maritime nation. The establishment of
a big mercantile marine speaks volumes
for the future of American foreign
commerce. The war brought us two
essentials for internatonal success
banking power and our own shipping.
It is literally up to our business men
and our statesmen to pursue a liberal
and constructive policy for developing
our foreign trade and our merchant
market. This cannot bo accomplished
by any system of artificial supports,
reprisals or discrimination. It can on
ly bo accomplished on a sound basis
by bearing in mind that if we want to
sell abroad, we must be equally ready
to buy, since foreign trade in the mass
is nothing more or less than simple
barter. Sor can it be too strongly im
pressed upon leaders of industry and
politics that the fewer restraints we
impose upon trade, roeign or domestic,
the quicker and stronger will be its
growth. Commerce thrives best when
least shackled. Incidentally, it may
be said, the best safeguard against war
is a widely distributed commerce, be
cause nothing will do more to preserve
peace than the open door and equal
miiifirtunit v to all
