was enlivened with speeches, music,

Until noon today the Fourth in
Dallas was a very sane one Now
and then a lonely cracker broke the
stiffness, but that was all. In the af-
ternoon, as the Observer went to
press, ball game was being arranged
to take place on the College campus,
between the miIlmen and the yardmen
of the Dallas Lumber & Logging Com
pany, as sort of consolation feature
for the few stay-at-homes. Director
u. S. Grant was also marshaling the
remnants Of his band to appear on the
court house plaza for an impromptu
concert, just to prove that, although
deserted, Dallas was not detected.

PRAISE FROM DIAz.

One of the first things that EXPIRES
ident Diaz said on landing in Eng
land was that the United States Gov
ernment's action IN connection with
the recent revolution in Mexico was
dignihed, generous and correct. Diaz
was on hand during the whole insur-
rection. He saw what was going on
on our side of the Rio Grande as well
as on his own. Queer stories OCCASION
ally came from the City of Mexico
during the rebellion regarding what
he thought and said about the atti-
tude and acts of the United States
but his own words in England show
us that very much that was attributed
to him while at home was untrue.
The ex-president furnishes a fine
tribute to the intelligence and unself-
ishness of the United States Govern
ment In this whole Mexican trouble.
For sending the troops to the Rio
Grande the administration was as
sailed by many newspapers and poll
ticians. IL was accused of an attempt
to get up a war with Diaz, which
would give us a pretext for interven-
tion, and thus create an issue which
would sweep the country for the Re-
publican party in 1912. We We're told
by those papers that the admlnistra-
ton which was In power during
foreign war was always successful In
the elections Immediately after the
war. as we'll as in those held while
the war was In progress, an assertion
which was untrue IN both particulars.
Consequently. according TO these
critics the administration was at
tempting to get up trouble with Mex
leo, 80 as to divert the thoughts OF
the American people from home sub
jects and give the Republicans an
easy victory for president next year.
But General Diaz shows the ab-
surdity OF all this INSTRUMENTATION
talk. The movement of troops 20
Texas was dictated by public spirit
and a desire TO promote the cause OF
peace. Neutrality by the United
states In the Mexican fight was OBJ
served better because OF the presence
OF our troops near the war zone than
Il had been previously. The world
was notified that II chaos should come
in Mexico as result of the rebellion
the United States would step In and
protect the property and lives Of
Americans and other foreigners. Thus
neither England nor any other eoun-
try had any incentive to send war
vessels 10 American waters. Our
presence on the border Of the war re-
giou. moreover. brought peace he
tween the compatants quicker than
it otherwise would have come-St.

An item in the news columns con-
veys the information that the home
demand for lumber this year exceeds
that of any previous year and that the
increased local trade has in a large
measure compensated for the falling
off in distance shipments. In
this connection it might be added that
the Dallas and Falls City sawmills
have been doing some well-planned
and carefully-exeeuted advertising
this year-the first time in the history
of Polk County that the columns of
the local newspapers have been sought
in an effort to increase the home sales
of lumber. There is no getting away
from the fact that printers ink is the
best medicine for an ailing business,

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

III. ". Gates, the well-known Hills
boro capitalist and close observer Of
financial conditions, expresses the OPP
inion that whatever business depres-
sion may exist throughout the coun-
try is temporary in its nature. After
having visited for several weeks in the
financial centers of the East, he re-
turns to Oregon firm in the belief that
business is in healthy condition and
that any fear of possible panic is
groundless.
In an interview published in the
Hillsboro Independent, Mr.. Gates
says that during his trip he repeatedly
heard the prediction that after the
presidential election is over, business
viii resume its activity and the coun-
try will experience an era of unparal-
leled prosperity, He says that while
il has been asserted that the banks
have been curtailing their loans be-
cause Of a vague anticipation of trou-
BILE, the banks are not responsible for
the condition. The reason the banks
are full of unloaned money is because
there is little demand for money.
This is because there is a cessation of
new undertakings and stocks are be-
ing allowed to run down. He admits
this condition will hasten the return
of business activity, for even normal
demand for staples will soon exhaust
stocks on hand and compel their re-
plenlshment.
Mr.. Gates observation was confined
to Eastern states and he would ven
ture no opinion as to Pacific Coast
affairs, saying he had been too long
absent lie said, however, that un-
questionably the hull in business Is
more apparent in the manufacturing
states of the East than 1t would be in
the Coast states, where manufacture
is an incident and is overshadowed by
the agricultural and export interests
