The Benefit of Change.


We are like house plants: We need a
change of soil now and then-to be re-
planted. New scenes, new experiences,
new surroundings change of climatel
dry air instead of moisture, sunshine in
place Of cloud. This is sometimes es-
sential to health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than Europe
can offer. Take month or two in Cali
fornia. Plant yourself for time where
there are no irritations, where the hotel
is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where warm sammy weather in
vites to walks and drives. Pure and dry
air, and the increased electric influences
of sunshine are vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very little
expense, and enjoy ride over the scenic
Siskiyou AMI Shasta mountains, which,
at this time of the year with their snow.
covered peaks, are unsurpassed for their
grandeur.

GERMANY CONCERNED.

1t is given ont in Berlin that
as soon as our reciprocity
treaty with Cuba is ratified by
both governments Germany will
ask for the same privileges. 1t is
also intimated that other govern
ments will make similar requests.
This will be done under the most
favored nation clause of our treat
les with these governments.
There is no reason to fear that
such action on part of Germany
or any other nation would cause
us to abandon eur purpose of recl.
procity with Cuba. We should
simply say that we were ready to
negotiate terms of reciprocity
with any government giving us
full reciprocal flvors.
Germany cares little for the
theory of the most favored nation:
She is ready to abandon that and
to construct her commercial treat
les to fit the the trade conditions
of herself and the country with
which she is arranging a treaty.
In reality Germany is now look
ing to reciprocity for the preser-
vation and expansion of hel
trade. She fears we shall ar
range reciprocity treaties with
Mexico and the governments O
Central and South America which
will ultimately give us a trade
monopoly in those countries.
The late Secretary Blaine saw
how this could be accomplished
through reciprocity treaties AM
he was an. earnest advocate o
such measures. 1t Is a strikin!
confirmation of his far-seein,
craftsmanship that political econ
omists so shrewd as the German
are perturbed by the probabilit
that even at this late day W
shall adopt his views.
We shall offer reciprocal trad
benefits wherever they are reall
reciprocal, while at the sam
time we shall preserve Our ow
system of protection and thr
demonstrate to the world tn:
reciprocity is the handmade I
protection"

Reduction in Water Rates.

We are pror osing to reduce the rates
on water and to arrange with all con-
sumers so that all may be treated the
same. To do this we must insist on all
bills being in advance, as our rules and
regulations call for, and as other cities
require. We have no desire to have
trouble with any consumer, but to treat
all alike our rules must be enforced, If
anything should happen that water is
not used after being paid for the money
will be refunded.
Very truly yours,

GUARANTEE OF PEACE.

It is thought by some that but
for the attitude of England to-
ward us the Venezuelan affair
would have involved us in war
with the allies. This is not
probable. Had England not
been one of the allies there
is no real cause to suppose that
the conduct of Germany would
have been essentially different.
However warlike the spirit of the
German army and navy toward
US the German government cer-
tainly desires no quarrel with us.
1t is true, that if Germany
were seeking a quarrel with us
she would undoubtedly attempt
to ally England with her. This
she could not do. England must
have-very grave causus belli be-
fore she would go to war with us.
She is dependent upon US for
large part of her breadstufs.
War with us would cat this off
and before six months time her
people would find starvation con-
fronting them. All other con-
siderations-such as the enor-'
nous cost of war, the risk she
would incur of losing her North
American possessions-aside, her
dependence upon us for necessary
food supplies would impel her by
all honorable means to avoid war
with us.
We may speculate as much as
we please as to how far mere SEN
timent would operate to prevent
war between England and the
United States, but nations are not
swayed by sentiment in the final
analysis of things, but by self-in-
terest. England's self-interest is
the strongest guarantee that we
rely on for her friendship and
good will.
Gerrnany's self interest to avoid
war with us is not so great, per-
haps, as England's, but it is
enough powerful to make war
with Germany very improbable.
Both England and Germany de-
sire, above all else, to build up
their commerce and extend their
trade relations. They cannot do
this on this continent through
the arts of conquest and coloni-
zation. Commercial conquest OF
any part of Mexico, Central and
South America must be through
the arts of peace, friendship and
Just treatment.
We will be their chief competi-
tor. We shall provoke their com
mercial jealousy and stir up in
tense commercial strife, but we
shall have no appeal to arms, nc
resultant war. Diplomacy di-
rected by self-interest will avoid
war.
Just here, and as factor max
ing for peace. is found amp'e rea-
son why the United States should
create and maintain a large an
highly efficient navy.
