FOR WOULD-BE PATRIOTS.

The Chicago Tribune is Of the or,iIoio,
that most Of this trouble Oyer. mo o,,t
flow of gold to Eurpsee could be avoided
IL ehe Americans who spend their mon
ey ABROAD would take their vacations
among the wonders of their own coun-
try. s74rE. .l:.07 ;rto..
AS this is the stseason OF the wear
when everybody and HIS wife is LAYING
plans for European summer it may
be a good thing to disseminate the idea
that an intelligent patriotism demands
the judicfous expenditure on this side
Of the water of the extra dollars which
the slowly returning good times have
put in our purses. It ought to be un-
derstood that patriotism is a thing
that works both ways. So many peo-
pie are Americans for what they can
get out Of it that all small manifesto
tons Of devotion to the country are
doubly gratifying. Not only is Amer
ica's gold needed at home this summer
as for several years past, but, in view Of
our strained foreign relations. it is not
doing the square thing by Uncle Sam
to disburse large amounts of it in Great
Britain and on the continent. AS long
as there is a faint possibility that 'the
sinews Of war; may become more than
figure of speech, good Americans
who believe that this is one important
cause OF the outflow OF the yellow
metal-which, by the way, Is open to
doubt-will think twice before adopting
course which practically puts the
muscles Of their fatherIand on alien
arms
We commend these considerations to
our forty-odd patriotic societies Here
Is a field Of endeavor in which to make
themselves useful. Especially is 1t a
field for the feminine contingent Of
these orders. The patriotism of British
women has always shone conspicuously
when they have been called upon In
the name Of their country to use Brit
ish matches, eat homegrown products
and wear English silks, poplins and
laces. 1t would be Interesting to know
how many Daughters Of the ReyoIu-
ton and Colonial Danes would refuse
to continue their membership in those
societies if a newly adopted bylaw
should require members to keep their
native heath until such time as Amer
lean gold is not SO pressingly required
at home.

have to be reckoned with because of
their ability and prowess, they have
felt that it was of Interest. of value
to themselves that the other nations
should know how they regard them
selves, ana what part they expected to
play In the great drama of
humanity. Their language raised
barrier that was insurmountable If
foreign intelligence was to be reached
1t must be by the conveyance of
Japanese thought through languages
other than their own. The outcome of
this idea is the publication of 1.-THE
Far East" an English edition of the
"Kokumin- No-Tomosrs which signifies
1.-THE Nations Friend" This is a
monthly magazine conducted by
Japanese with English education, and
naturally the leading. article Is "A
japanese View of Japan" To this the
foreigner turns 20 see what the native
concept Of the race and it's future Is.
The Western idea, obtained frop,
travellers, is correctly stated; ".Iapan
is lovely country, With beautiful
scenery, and the japanese are an
agreeable people, with polite manners
and quick Understanding; but can
there be any really important thing
come out of Asia?". This, the writer
notes, Is rapidly changing, the Chinese
war having operated to reveal unsus-
pected traits of national character

come a civilized nation in the fullest
and highest sense, participating in and

treaties leave 1t for Japan to sLo1,,

sion to perform. We are under heavy
bonds not to abuse the recognition TINS
accorded us. We shall have to widen
the range Of our common civilization
nrst by assimilating it, and then by
transmitting it to the great body of
Eastern countries" The writer doubts
not the ability for assimilation pos
sessed by his countrymen. japan

Asia, and nodded them on her own.
"Confueianism formed the foundations
OF the japanese ethical conceptions.
But religion and social institutions

ed to adapt them to racial eb.racteris-
tics Generally speaking, the state
ment that life Consists in receiv'-g

grester truth than to Japan" By

That Is, we believe, of far more i'm

ness purposes by the long distance
between steam railway and street rail-

1t has been pointed out that the con-
struction of only five blocks of track
and the running Of a couple of cars
would so intersect all the principal
lines Of the city as to give easy COM
munication by the transfer system with
the union depot. That is the first re-
quirement. We believe that the street
railway company would not be averse
to making this slight improvement,
which would certainly be beneficial to
itself, as well as to our people, if they
united in asking it. Let us push this
most important and beneficial change
along before we agitate further for
other changes in the operation of the
street railway system.

AN EFFECTIVE CONTRAST.

The G. o b has made its position on
the financial question SO positive, and
It's views so clear, that 1t cannot pos
sibly be misunderstood when it says
that, as between the platform adopted
by the Democrats of Oregon and that
approved by the Republicans of the
same state, the declaration Of the De-
mocracy deserves greater respect. We
have said, and we repeat it, that the
Democrats of Oregon, when they de-
clared for the free coinage of silver by
the United States alone at the ratio
of 16 to 1, were utterly and hopelessly
wrong. They ask not only what is bad
politics and bad finance, but what is
impossible, when they claim to be seek
ing the restoration Of conditions pre-
xailing prior to 1873 There is one vir-
tue and only one in their position. That
virtue is honesty. They do not lie
about it. They do not straddle. They
do not pretend to be other than they
are They do not beg for gold votes
with one hand and silver votes with
the other They are mistaken, but
they are not towards or hypocrites.
The Republicans of Oregon take a
position which entities tnem to the
application of every one of those I'M
pleasant epithets. They have very
properly, in instructing their delegates
to vote for Mr. Mckinley, placed them
upon the Mckinley platform. That

HIGH HATS AND HISTORY.

The law just passed by the Ohio leg
islature forbidding the wearing Of hats
in the theaters of that state is not only
the good joke which most people seem
to regard 1t, but possesses a certain
historical Importance as well. 1t &C
cents the temperance on our statute
books OF sunptuary laws, long sup
posed by English Legislators to consti-
tute an unwarrantable interference
with the liberties Of the individual. The
last sumptuary legislation in Great
Britain was d Scotch law passed in
1921. In the United States there has,
Of course, never been any general
sumptuary legislation, and with the ex-
ception of the statutes proposed in
several states to regulate theatrical
costuming, the question Of laws to af-
feet dress has not been considered.
The temperance Of sumptuary law
among an English-speaking people, aft
er two and a half centuries Of disuse,
may be considered an event But the
significance Of that event will only be
found in considering the difference be-
tween the intent of the Ohio statute
and that OF ancient sumptuary legis-
lation, The old laws concerning dress
were chiefly designed to protect a man
against himself by arbitrarily regulat-
ing his expenditure in accordance with
his probable purchasing power. The
new law Is designed to protect a man
against his neighbor. In other words,
an interference with the liberty Of the
individual, which was odious so long
as 1t was designed for his own good,
becomes right and justifiable when it
can be shown to be for the advantage
of another than himself.
1t may be that for sumptuary legis-
lation, once it is re-established among
US on this altruistic basis, there is a
great future In store. 1t would be a
means to control the periodically
threatened revival Of crinoline, which
is the most egotistic form of dress
ever known; and when we consider
the effect of the big sleeve and fiaring
skirt on the seating capacity of a street
car, it will be seen that these fashions
also might justly become subject to leg
islative control.
Our civilization is not yet so adj
vanced that the average assemblyman
comprehends that an affront 70 the
eye is more deadly than one to the
pocket, but when once there is a wide
spread national comprehension of the
merits of the theater hat question, we
shall have a basis for sumptuary leg
islation on aesthetic grounds. If ma
room dress stuffs, stained cherry fur
niture, tarpaulin sailor hats, women's
Derbys, the fur neck fixing which an
aggrieved contemporary has compared
to "a dead kitten ironed out for pie
crust" and a few others Of the taste
less denominations which distress our
eyes at times could be legislated out Of
existence, this might be a better and
happier world.

platform. as 1t was adopted by the
Ohio convention, Is, In as far as 1t re-
lates to the currency question. an in
suit to the intelligence and honor Of
the American people. The first SEN
tence of 1t is enough: "The American
people, from tradition and interest, ia
yor bimetalllsm; and the Republican
and silver as standard money" It
matters little to us whether the thick
and thin Republicans interpret this for
or against free coinage. The discred-
liable fact is that it processes to be
both. The Oregon Republicans know
that there is no such thing as having
both gold and silver for STANDARD"
money. There can be but one stand
ard, There is only one unit of meas
are for the same kind OF quantity or
value at the same time. The men who
made this platform and their apologists
elsewhere are familiar with the fact
Where the gold standard sentiment
prevails, they say that this platform
means Sound money" because there
cannot be any other than the gold
standard. Where the free coinage idea
prevails, they point to it as an affirm
alton Of the rightful equality Of silver
and gold in our coinage system. This
is the arrant hypocrisy Of the g.
lican party on the finannt--
90 II; aI,
representat' my
we do the Oregon Republicans
40 injustice is shown further by the
fact that they voted for a substitute
to the plank which we have quoted
which would have put them fairly on
record. That substitute said that we
favor the use of both gold and silver
to the extent to which they can be
maintained in circulation at parity in
purchasing and debt-paying power.
But we are earnestly opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l." Added to this
was the usual recommendation Of in
ternational bimetalHsm. Now this
plank was defeated, and the Ohio strad-
ole was adopted. If the Oregon Re
pIblicans are sound on the money
question, why did they turn down a
plank opposing specifically the free
coinage Of silver, in favor Of one
which, by it's nonsensical mention of
two kinds of standard money, holds
out hope of acquiescence in the free
silver position?
The fact, as shown by the platform,
Is that both parties in the state of
Oregon are permeated and controlled
by the free silver idea. Tbt, difference
between them is that the Democrats
say so openly, while the Republicans,
unmlnH1ul Of the progress of intalli-
gent public opinion in the last four
years, repeat the meaningless and dis
honest straddle of 1892. The choice
between the two parties represented by
these two platforms is the choice be-
tween a man who though entirely mis-
taken in his view Of public question,
holds his opinion honestly and sincere
ly, and the canting hypocrite who seeks
votes by pretending to be on both sides
at once. It Is difference between
Democracy and Republicanism that
extends to other states than Oregon,
and applies to other issues than the
silver question.

by Deputy Baldwin who arrested
Hoffman near Spokane Bridge and

appears that Hoffman had been visit
ing son-ln-)aw who lives few miles
east Of town, and during this visit
valuable dog belonging to Wilson was
killed. Wilson suspected Hoffman OF
the dastardly deed, and believed him
to have killed his dog while out hunt
ing. Hoffman proved to the satisfac-
ton of the officers that 1t was all q
mistake, and as no game was found in
his possession, he was released.
