The West and Our Public Lands.

Declaring that il is essential for the
West, if it is to be allowed to develop
on an equal footing with the East, to
control all of the public lands still
within its borders, the Governors of
five Rocky Mountain States recently
met and adopted a resolution request
ing the Federal government TO sur
render to these States all such lands,
also to withdraw no more land from
entry, and, furthermore, to throw open
all areas from which individual or
corporate interests now are excluded.
The remarkable thing about this ac-
ton was that six other Western
States-Washington, Oregon, Califor-
mia, Montana, Arizona, and New Mex
ico-failed to join in this request,
though each of them contains vast
tracts of public lands
We are inclined to doubt if the
States which made this unique request
will get what they asked for. The
United States at last is realizing the
value of conserving its public domain.
A policy has been inaugurated already
to safeguard public lands, forests, and
water rights, and this policy will be
strenuously adhered to to prevent
spoliation on the part of individuals,
or corporations, or other big interests.
What the West really needs is a
permanent Federal land policy to pre-
serve the public interest and to ad-
vance the activities of legitimate en-
terprise in land, forest, and water
rights enterprises. And for that pur-
pose, what is getting to be a necessity,
is an efficient Federal bureau.

-Waechter's plans and achievements
in Central Africa, the Franco-German
Treaty of November 1911, which was
followed by Sir Edward Greys as
surance of England's good will to-
wards Germany's aims in the Dark
Continent.
As regards to the question where
Germany shall seek commercial if not
agricultural, expansion: In Asia Minor
and Mesopotamia or in Central Af-
rica (the only two actual possibilities)
the author concludes that the empire
should not seek to pursue a policy of
political enterprise in Asiatic Turkey.
There only remains Central Africa
where Germany has no political rivals
Britain being an asserting party)
and where she would not be exposed
to strategicsl dangers, such as might
beset her in the, Levant country. or at
the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
Besides, the economic prospects in
Central Africa are of the best. There
fore the writer is correct, and in our
opinion Germany should cultivate
friendly relations with Portugal, and
especially with Belgium, so that, if
either of them thought of parting
with their African possessions, Ger
many might acquire the right of pre-
emption.

Sending Coal by Pipe Line.

Prom the London IItBits.
A new method of transporting coal by
water pressure through a pipe has been
discovered by G. B. Bell, engineer to the
Hammersmith electricity works BY this
scheme from thirty to sixty tons OF coal
an hour can, it is claimed, be hurled
through an eight-inch pipe leading from
the Thames and under a road to the yard
of the electricity works, a distance of 600
yards.
II the scheme is adopted a large mixing
tank will be erected by the coal wharf. A
mechanical grab will lift the coal from
the barge, and after passing into an auto
matte weighing machine. the coal will be
filtered into the mixing tank, which will
contain Is per cent of coal and IS per
cent of water. A powerful electrically
driven pump will hurl the mixture of coal
and water at high velocity through the
transmission tube to a reception tank at
the works. The coal will sink to the
bottom, and another pump will drive the
water through a return pipe to the mix
ing tank, while another grab" will lift
the coal out of the reception tank into
the storage department
Thus the whole process is automatic,
and the water is used over and over
again. Though the initial cost Of the
plant is approximately e10.00O. it is esti-
mated that in time the money will be
saved over and over again. At present
the cost Of transport is approximately I'd.
ton. or about s72s for the 1900 tons
used in a year.

Germany's Colonial Future.

No little stir has been caused at
Berlin by the appearance of a pam.
phlet from the pen of one of the best
known publicists, who combats the
contention of Gen. Won Bernhard
that, under certain conditions. a pre-
ventive, or anticipatory war, is neces-
sary and justihable, a theory, by the
Sway, which was quite abhorrent to
Bismarck himself.
The writer dwells upon the neces-
sity for a policy of oversee expansion
on the ground of the rapid increase
in Germanys population, though this
transmarine activity should aim rather
at the acquisition of tropical terri
tories than at colonies for agricul-
tural settlers, seeing that at present
there is practically no emigration of
this latter class. The writer says:
Three years ago the emigration
from Britain, with its forty-five mil
lions Of people, was nearly ten times
as great as from Germany, with its
sixty-six millions. Twenty years ago
Gen. Won Caprivi said: I'VE must
either export wares or men," but
now Germany is exporting wares and
importing men-so that she harbors
about a million and a half aliens,
about half of whom are employed in
industry and the rest in agriculture.
A policy of expansion on the lines
suggested must depend on the state
of Gernany's foreign relations. Since
the Triple Alliance, with its purely de-
fensive object could not be relied on
as factor for the support of Ger
many's expansionist aims, therefore
gGermany requires the good will and
Cat least the passive support of Eng
land. the omens for such cooperation
being much more favorable now than
for years back. The opening up of
an era of better relations between the
two countries was marked by Kider-

OYSTER DIGEsTs ITSELF.
Prof. Pron's Explanation Starts on
the Season.

From the New York American.
Are oysters good for us to eat? Prof.
Prom, an eminent dietitian. says they
are, provided they have not been grown
in typhoid infected beds.
He not only declares oysters to be q
highly nutritious food for persons in good
health, but highly recommends them also
to many dyspeptIcs who can eat nothing
else with comfort.
Unlike most other foods, the oyster
contains in itself many of the elements
necessary for its own digestion. The
largest part of the bivalve is its liver.
and the very moment We begin to chew
il the digestive juices with which the
organ is plentifulIy supplied are re-
leased and at once begin furnishing val
liable aid to our stomachs-
An oyster contains about 10 per cent
Of protein, together with some phosphor-
lied fats and glycogen. This is a highly
nutritive combination and one which can
be assimilated by the human stomach
without undue strain.
Oysters arc recommended for most dys-
peptics, for sufferers from liberation or
incipient cancer of the stomach, and alsa
for convalescents from acute disea ses
who usually find in oysters a stimulant
for their jaded apPetites which no other
food can give.
The only dyspeptics who should be fer
hidden oysters, according to Prof Prom,
are those whose stomachs are hyper
acid or representative. The oyster is
too irritating a food for such patients,
and il is apt to over-stimulate the gas
trio juices with which their stomachs
are already too well supplied.

Paris is not the largest city in the
world but 1t is the most contented. A
Partisan would not live anywhere else
on earth and when he dies he does SO
with grave doubts.
He. hopes that some other Partisan has
gone to heaven in the past and has made
it over into a suitable pace of residence,
but the evidences are against 1t.
Paris is the capital OF France, fashion,
gayety. the cabaret business, fancy cook
ing and the tourist trade. 1t has 2.Too,0Oo
people who weep every day to think of
the I,5o0, ,00O, 900 human beings who have
TO live elsewhere. Paris is 1900 years old,
but got its great start in business In $50,
when it cleaned out some of its old quar-
ters and built q few straight streets with
trees on them. All Europe fiocked to see
the wonderful sight, and Paris got adver-
tised so extensively thar no tourist now
considers his work finished until he has
inhaled gasoline vapors on the Champ
Elysees and has eaten supper on the side
walk of the Avenue de rOpera.
Paris is most famous for its fine old
buildings. its weird new costumes, its
art collections, its actresses, its soups and
salads, its corseted men. its duels, It's
naughty little restaurants, its politeness
whenever the tips are large enough and
its conversation, which is enchanting to
look at. A visitor can soak himself for
weeks IN art and music In Paris. And If
he doesn't care for these he can soak
himself in other pleasures at a remark
ably reasonable price per bottle. Every
one goes to Paris TO see the pictures in
the Louvre, but a great many Americans
spend weeks hunting FOR this pretty little
art gallery in the Latin Quarter and the
restaurants of Montmarte and never find
il at all
Paris has the highest building in the
world. the Eiffel Tower, but II is not as
high as the cost of living. These two are
the only sky scrapers in the city. A man
can travel all day In a taxi cab in Paris

JAP CONTROVERSY
AGAIN BEFORE BRYAN
Ambassador Chinda Calls at the State
Department to Discuss Alien
Land Law.
IMPATIENT AT THE LONG DELAY

Ambassador Chinda was at the State
Department again yesterday to discuss
with Secretary Bryan the status of the
controversy between the governments oi
the United States and Japan over the
California alien land law.
The Ambassador. it is understood, Is
impatient at the delay of the United
States in replying to his last note on the
subject, Japan considering that the mat
ter was by no means settled by the note
delivered to Ambassador Chinda early In
the summer.
Mr.. Bryan disclosed nothing OF the de-
tails of his talk with the Ambassador,
and limited himself to saying that the
alien land law controversy was the SUBJ
ject under discussion.
1t is believed that the frequent mani
festations OF popular disapprovaI of the
course of the Tokyo government. by the
japanese people are in part responsible
for the disire Of the Japanese government
to expedite the discussions.

For a State Commission Government.

The Far West, especially Oregon,
never has been afraid to do something
politically along new lines. The latest
is the intelligence that the Portland
Business Mems Club has begun a
campaign for the adjustment of the
State Legislature and for the ,substi-
tuition of commission form of gov
ernment, such as has been applied with
more or less success to a number of
cities in different States. The issue is
to be submitted to the voters in No
vember as an initiative"
There can be no question about
popular dissatisfaction with legislative
efforts and demands for improvement,
even in the East, which is proverbially
conservative, and where more atten-
tion has been paid to the improving
of the personnel than to the altering
of the system. And yet, the public in
the East would hesitate to adopt a
State commission government or even
the method of Observation-Disclosures
lation, because it continues to hope
that some day there will be in power
party willing to make such changes
in legislative methods, as would min
imize the evils now existing. A sci
entifc State budget, it is argued, es-
pecially in New York, a bureau for
the study of legislation, limitation of
special and local lawmaking, and COM
nittees with more powers, would ac-
complish the desired end, without such
radical measures as are being advo-
Gated out West.

The Greek Highland Troops.

Prom the Boston TranScI1pG
The Evzones, the Greek highland
troops. who have been in the news lately,
owe their peculiar costume to the south
ern AIbanians. Albanian is still spoken
by about 10 per cent OF the people Of
Greece: and in former times 1t was very
widespread: indeed, the Greeks of the
mainland have probably nearly as much
Albanian as Slavonic blood in them, and
very much more Of either than of the
blood of the ancient Greeks. The AL
banians proved themselves the doughtiest
fighters during the Greek war of inde-
Pendence nearly a century ago. and by
one of the little ironies of history the
Albanian pirates of Hydra and the AL
banian brigands of Suli came to be looked
upon in Europe as the chief exemplars Of
modern Greek patriotism and courage.
The Albanians of Greece wore dress
very similar to that of their kinsmen Of
Southern Albania, the Tosks. of which the
most striking feature is the fustanella. or
kilt; and it was not unnatural that when
the new Greek kingdom was established
the costume of the heroes Of the war of
independence, which was the costume Of
the Albanian peasants all around the
capital. should be adopted as the national
dress. King Otho. the first monarch Of
the new state, wore the fustanella- and
though il has now been abandoned by the
upper classes it still remains the uniform
Of the Evzones, though, Of course, they
are not an Albanian force. What sort of
fighters the Evzones were sixteen years
ago, even under the eyes of a European,
may perhaps be guessed from footnote
in Mr.. Brailford's Macedonia" He says:
During the Thessslian campaign in 1897
was present when an Evzone regiment
strung up a Turkish prisoner by his
heels from a tree and proceeded to lay a
fire of wood and straw under his mead.
Fortunately, he promised to give them
valuable information before the fire was
actually lighted, and at the moment some
Italian officers of the foreign legion ap-
peared on the scene"
