THE SPOT WHERE NAVIGATION ENDS.

well any man and that her "heart is
good. All she asks is to be given an OPP
portunity to give her life for the emperor
and for Japan. She begs the officials to
grant her request, for if she is not allowed
to 90 her family name and her ancestors
will be forever disgraced.
Many OF the letters come from boys
under the military service age. They can
not wait until the time comes for them
to serve regularly but insist that they be
allowed to 20 at once. Nearly all of
them are students and are willing to serve
IN any capacity. One of them is but 8
years Old and most of them range in age
from 10 to Is.
Scores OF letters comes from men who
have ended their military service. both in
the standing army and the reserves. They
are soldiers of many years standing and
they are very
ANXIOUS TO FIGHT AGAIN.
They all point proudly to their former
service and recite the campaigns they
have seen and the medals they have been
awarded.
SO far no volunteers have been called
for or accepted. 1t is not believed that it
will be necessary to call for any more
soldiers. There are already 100000 men
under arms, and it is believed that these
will be all that are needed If, however,
volunteers are needed, the officials be-
lieve that it will not be at all difficult to
secure 100000 Of them. The applications
of those who have offered their services
are being kept ON file in the war office
and they will be given the first chance if
the call for volunteers is ever made
The intense patriotism of the japanese
is shown in these offers of men who are
exempt from service by law to take up
these burdens and sacrifice their lives on
the altar of their love for their emperor.
1t is entirely impossible for foreigner
to understand the love and reverence
which these people have for their emperor.
10 the western mind it seems impossible
that any people could 80 worship am in
dVidual or cause. They are not emo
tonal in their devotion and they talk
little about it. But it is instilled into
every heart in Japan, and every man
stands ready to give his life cheerfully and
without regret if the emperor needs it,
ms marvellous patriotism is subject
which must be impressed on the rest of
the world before Japan is understood Ii
is point which the world must reckon
with. 1t is the quality which is going to
make the Japanese army
IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFEAT.
the quality which above all others will
count in this war. And it is not blind
patriotism.
The soldiers know that hard work. hard
drill and strict discipline are necessary to
win battles, and they enter into the pre-.
ljminary work with all the enthusiasm and
all the earnestness that they will later
put into their fighting.
To win battles they know they must be
good soldiers. Their patriotism therefore
prompts them to become good soldiers. and
it is shown as strongly by the recruits
on the drill field as it is by the men who
are actually facing the enemy.

When the general assembly OF the
United Brethren church cOnvenes at
Topeka, Kansas, in May next year, one
of the princidal questions for decision
will be that of organic union with the
Methodist protestant and federation
with the Congregational church.
The Methodist protestant denomina-
ton has already decided in favor Of or
ganic union with the United Brethren
church, and Rev. H. C. Shaffer of the
Portland First church says it is almost
a foregone conclusion that the United
Brethren will take the same action,
which will give a united membership of
$50, 1000. Federation with the COngre-
gational church, he says, means final
organic union. There are no doctrinsl
differences in any of the three churches,
and the union is approaching along the
same lines that the union of the Presby-
terians and Cumberland Presbyterians
is following.
Oregon is allowed two ministerial and
two lay delegates. The nominees are

Resents Remarks About Foreigners.

Hood River, Or, Nov. 20, l904.-Ed-
itor Glacier: Your statement in the is
sue OF the Glacier of the 18th concerning
The Dalles cannot be successfully refuted.
She is slow, but her limited speed is
her salvation because whatever move
ment there is in her is the movement OF
the crawfish.
Now, what is the cause Of this retro
graduation? Surely there must be a
large majority of honest, educated, re-
fined and industrious citizens within her
boundaries, and a community made up
Of such people is, according to state
ment OF certain selfconstituted au-
thority, bound to prosper.
The problem is certainly enigmatical
as we'll as vexing and | would therefore
suggest that the citizens of The Dalles
have an analysis made of this now noto-
rious phenomena. For this purpose
would advise them to call upon that
brilliant and incompatible intellectual
luminary, that ocean of wisdom and
mountain of sagasitv, ("ex" Of this, and
would be,of that, the Salem Statesman.
This sage of the young Goth century,
than whom there is no greater, in past
ages or at the present times, has with
marvellous accuracy described the cause
of Hood Rivers prosperity. According
to this monstrosity OF all that is wise
and wonderful, webfootted and moss
backed, Hood River achievements are
due to the simple fact that there are no
foreigners here.
Now, if the absence of the Ignorant
foreigner" is the cause Of Hood River S
progress and activity, would it be illog-
ical to presume that the "slowness" of
the city of The Dalles is due to the pres
ence of the foreign devils2"
l therefore exhort the cliff dwellers of
that rock-rbbed city on the Columbia
to make a thorough investigation and if,
perchance, a single ignorant foreigner
There are no ignorant Americans, see
report of the commissioner of educa-
ton, should be found, remedy the evil
while she is yet time.
There is a remedy for this sort OF evil
which is as simple as it is effective, and
| give it without fee or favor: burn the
foreign hound, burn him to crispness,
then no more harm will come because
of him. Such advice may seem reac-
tionary north of the Mason and Dixon
line, but why not adopt this practice if
the general veal demands it? 1t ap-
parently works satisfactorily in
the semI-civilized South where the
people are "honest, educated, refined"
and "thoroughly American. Incident
ally they are mostly governors like the
gemmy nonentity of the Salem States
