Farms VS.. Battle Ships.

James J. Hin, the railroad man, pro-
poses in an article for the Century that
a system of model farms would be bet
tel investment for the nation than a
battleship or a couple of cruisers, which
would cost about the same. He argues
that the government is already engaged in
similar work, and he believes that such
farms could be made sclf-supporting. He
believes that the average farmer gets lit
tie more than half what he should from
his land. Mr.. Hill would establish in
every community a practical working
model, preferably of so to 40 acres, con-

liberalization of the Rich.

In an address at Ithaca, President
Schurman of Cornell said he believed
that law regulating prices in different
sections of the country would be enacted
to prevent discrimination, following the
principles of the common law. He thought
the time wolld come when truth, honor
and morality would be as much part
of Wall street as of the country village.
The big task of the future he defined as
''the moralization of the rich" What he
regarded as the defect of socialism was
"that it puts upon the shoulders of gov
eminent what government is totally in
capable of doing" He admitted the ills
of the wage earners, but said that the
captains of industry must be made to
share profits.

WOULD SEIZE HAWAII.
Japnn's First Move in the Event OF
War with Uncle sam.

War with Uncle Sam.
The possibility, however remote, of
war with Japan brings up the question
of the strategic value Of Hawaii. There
is little doubt that Japan in the event
of such a conflict could and would at
once occupy those islands Us base OF
operations against us. Long before We
could possibly send for their defense
feet which could be spared only after
proper protection had been given to our
Pacific coast cities Japan would have her
fleet and her troopships in the harbor of
Honolulu. With Japan once in posses
sion it would be almost impossible to dis
lodge her, for the reason that she would
do Immediately what the United States
has not done and perhaps is little likely
TO do.
Because of physical conditions the
principal Hawaiian islands may easily
be made almost impregnable. Outlying
reefs make landing impossible except
through channels which could be swept
by shore batteries. In case of need for
such defense Japan as an occupant would
have an unreasonable advantage over
us. There are in the islands to-day some
cN'SSN hlNli, manly anu pioDdOig IiOSL VA
whom belong to the japanese reserves.
They are trained soldiers.
\ naval occupation followed by the ar
rival of vessels bringing arms, ammuni-
ton and equipment would give Japan a
tremendous advantage at the very out
set of hostilities. This quickly available
force would proceed at once TO the con-
structiOn of carthwOrks and Notifications
and to their equipment with heavy guns
and light batteries. Once in intrenched
occupation and with such a defensive
force she could give a highly interesting
time to all the ships and men that we
could possibly spare from the defense of
the Philippines and the Pacific coast.
Fortunately our relations with Japan
are on the whole most friendly and like
ly to continue so. Enlightened self-in-
tereSt demands that they so continue but
it IS we'll to remember that in time

In Holland births, marriages and
deaths, instead of being recorded in
newspapers, are indicated by wind
mills. When a miller gets married he
stops his mill with the arms Of the
wheel in a slanting position and with
the sails upfurled. His friends and
guests frequently do likewise with
their mills In token of the ceremony.
To indicate birth the wheel Is
stopped with the arms in slanting
position, but at more acute angle
than for a marriage. and with the two
upper sails unfurled. Should a miller
die the sails of his mill are all furled,
and the wheel is turned around until
the arms form an upright cross, in
which position they are left until the
funeral has taken place.

To Syndicate Public Libraries.

A suggestion made by James II. Can.
field, librarian of Columbia university,
looking toward a syndicate of public IL
braries on large scale, is attracting
much attention. Writing in the Indepen-
dent, Mr.. Garfield says that the libra
rianS of all our larger institutions are
overburdened with accumulations which
they cannot possibly care for, either for
shelf-room or handling III any building
less capacious than the library of Con-
gresS, or with any ordinary staff of work.
ers. He thinks the remedy will be found
in binding closely together the great CEN
trail library of the nation and those Of
various States. AS an illustration Of
what he proposes, he refers to the de-
velOpment of special Libraries at New
York, such as those owned by the acad-
envy of medicine, the bar association, the
genealogy collection Of the Lenox library,
the library of architecture at Columbia,
the library of pharmacy, the New York
historical sOciety's collection, etc. Once
such a national library system was or
ganiZed, the different librarians would
be in constant telephone communication
and the system Of interlibrary loans
would make the resources of all available
ut any time or place. At some central
point a correspondence bureau, the fees
OF which would make it self-sustaining,
would bring the advantages of these col
lections to thoughtful or studious persons
everywhere.

Advocate Putting on Local Train.

An effort Is being made to have a
train put on tie q. Il. It N. between
Portland and Arlington to give pat
rons along this section of the road
better local service. There is doubt
that the Inauguration of such train
would meet with good deal Of en-.
thusiasm by residents of the towns
affected and that 1t would be well pat.
roniZed. Tho Oregon journal i,
speaking OF the matter says:
at would seem the time has arrived
when some special attention should
be given to purely local business. Sup
pos the train started at Heppner at
5 80 In the morning. 1t would make
decent daylight connections clear
through TO Portland, reaching here,
say at 1890 p. m. Ii the return train
left at 3 80 the same afternoon this
would allow time to transact ordinary
business, reach Hood River, say at
$40, The Dalles at 1880, Biggs at 20,
Arlington at $3.50, Heppner Junction
at 8: :55 and Heppner at II 30 p. nj.
"There Is no doubt growing de-
mand for Just such train. Now that
the tendency is in the direction OF
better service everywhere and the
railroads are looking for new avenues
to accommodate the public and at the
same time increase their revenues We
dsire to submit this suggestion to the
