IN THE PACIFIC.

The cruise OF the American battle
ships to the Pacific has been satIsfac-
torily explained BY the necessity OF
finding out the weak as well as the
strong points OF our navy. The Presl-
dent. IN his message TO Congress ada
ed another explanation. our coast
line is on the Pacific just as much as
on the Atlantic. The interests of Cali
fornia. oregon and Washington are as
emphatcally the interests OF the
whole Union as thosso of Maine and
New York, of Louisiana and Texas.
The battle fleet should now and then
be moved to the Pacific, just as at
other times 1t should be kept in the At
lantie. Until the isthmian canal
is built earnestly hope that the battle
fleet win be shifted between the oceans
every year or two" But this naval
mnneuver is not, 1t seems, all there is
to explain. Further military activity
Is reported. which, If considered In
connection with the long cruise, APP
pears rather significant.
According to the Portland oregonian
the Acknowledgements of the three
coast states, oregon, Washington and
California, have been summoned by the
War Department to go to Washington,
d. c., for conference at the earliest
possible date on the subject Of coast
defense The principal topic OF con
sideratlon at the conference, 1t is eH-
planned, will be that OF training vol
unteer coast artillery reserves to man
Oregon, Washington and California
fortifcations. The subject of perfect
ing the infantry regiments of the three
states in coast defense operations VIII
likewise be taken up. 1t is presumed
that the meeting viii result in assign
ment of national guard troops to coast
artillery work, and that the three adj
jutant- generals will return with the
task ahead of recruiting new coast
companies for this service.
of course, Uncle Sam has a perfect
right to strengthen his coast defense
In whatever manner he deems best.
and no foreign power can, consistently,
ask any questions as to the meaning
OF such precautionary measures, but
questions will be asked all the same,
More money is demanded now for mill
tar-y purposes than ever before. in spite
Of Japan's protestations of peace ana
friendship. The demand for immedi-
ate appropriationssfor guns. mortars
and mines on the Paeific coast, finds
the very highest endorsement, and the
President is interested in putting the
cities and harbors of the Pacific In
state of thorough defense. Questions
will, necessarily. be asked as to the
necessity of such extraordinary precau-
lions.
The truth of the matter Is, that as
near as human wisdom can see, TINS
country is In no danger from any Eu-
ropean power. Our Atlantic coast can
safely be left exposed. IL there Is any
serious danger the menace is from
Asia. The center of political gravity
is shifting and the government Is WISE
" taking cognizance of that fact. The
Pacific is coming into prominence.
But no offense is intended to any Pa
cific power. II there is any danger in
the situation II is from the recklessness
of a portion of the American press That
deals with questions OF international
Importance without knowledge and
without tact.

A SERMONET FOR WORKERS

tFor the News" BY n. j. Hapgoou.)
Prosperity augments or diminish-
es In a direct ratio proportional 10 the
value OF crops. This Is the funda'nen-
tai principle Of the economic system
under which we live. Plot mathe-
NAUTICAL curve. showing the rise ana
fall Of business conditions during the
past century IN this country. Tnere
will appear points on the curve where
the times were more bountiful than
the average, and points showing
marked depression. Both these ex-
tremes are occasloned by some such
cause az a big political boom, or a war
scare
The high level of the curve, how
ever. illustrating the generally sound
condition of the nation. a period Of
some months, VIII be found to be coin
cident with a season Of good crops.
on the other hand, the low level of the
curve viii be observed to be direct
result OF bad crops.
Bad crops means hard times and
good crops point to prosperity. A pass
ing financial furry may be accounted
for by a number OF causes, but a real
panic or genuine business depression
occurs only after season OF bad
crops. In our economic history we have
never experienced period of hard
times that was the effect of anything
else. Crops alone are responsible for
business conditions, and when crops
are good prosperity abounds
Now listen, those OF you who have
been talking panic and hard times.
Up to November / the yield of
Americas farms for 1907 was as fol-
lows:
Corn: S1.375, 600. OO0--nearly two hun

more than last year
Oats: 1885,, 900, thirty three mil

All other products: s1,7l7. 10000

All these figures show an increased
value over 1906 of 1924, 900, 900.
