LOOKING FORWARD

"Keep your eyes on the future, is
the gist Of slogan attributed to St.
Paul. "Time passed: it is a habit that
time has, :" was an expression Of that
gifted humorist, Artemus Ward. The
year 1914 by midnight tonight will have
become history. Its joys and griefs
are gone. With but little searching we
can find much of grief in the past year
which will be chronicled 10 histories of
future centuries because Of the sud
den coming Of the great silent war that
is now waging in Europe, a war that is
as much Of a world war as any that has
ever been fought because it has
touched, if not with its death. dealing
shot and shell still with its far reach
ing curtailment of commerce, every
country on the globe.
But we are forgetting the words of
the apostle. The future is before US.
OF course many of our hopes for the
coming year are based on results from
actions of that just vanishing. The
thing that we look forward to with
greatest pleasure, perhaps. is the open
ing of the Columbia Highway. good
year is predicted for Hood River dur
ing the year 1915. With hundreds of
thousands of visitors coming to the San
Francisco Worlds Fair. Hood River
will see by far more tourists than on
any year past. And even when the fair
is over. the people of Portland will
make it point to show their visitors
from the East the Co umbia Highway
and the Hood River Valley.
The Hood River Valley apple growers
already have put to the test diversified
farming. The successes shown already
will cause an increase in his line of ag-
ricultture. We look for year of solid
conservative advancement.

When war Is in the air on the cont
nent OF Europe a man who is liable fol
military service often finds 1t very diff
hcuit to escape from the country. In
the Wide World Magazine I. J. Thom-
as tells the story Of the escape Of one
Petru Cocan from Hungary when on
account Of the Balkan crisis the decree
had gone forth that no man between
the ages OF sixteen and ffty-two should
leave the country without a passport
COcan, who was a Roumanian by
birth and had lived in America. could
not get a passport He then went TO
the agent Of a transatlantic line and
bought a ticket for America on the as
surance that the agent would get him
out of the country. After several days
Of suspense Cocan, with three other fu-
gitives, was sent to place near the
border, where they were met according
to agreement by band of ROumanians
disguised as gypsy musicians. four Of
whom carried huge bass viols. The
backs were removed from the viols,
and in each there was a small seat.
Cocan and his fellow fugitives took
their places, the backs were fastened
on the viols. and again the musicians
set out for the border. All passed the
guard safely except Cocan. His bearer
got into dispute with soldier Of the
guard, the quarrel waxed violent, the
bass viol fell to the ground, the back
came off, and Cocan landed In a ditch
by the roadside. He was arrested and
sent home again.
lie tried the same trick again, but on
different road and at a place on the
border far removed from the first at
tempt This time he made his escape,
but as the musicians were crossing the
border the soldiers OF the guard de-
manded tune, and Cocan endured the
agony of sitting inside bass viol
while It was played upon. The noise
in the narrow space was deafening.
After his many adventures Cocan ar.
rived safely ut Canton, 0.

AXEL RAHM WRITES
FROM SWEDEN

Axel Rahm, former resident of this
city, who now resides at Hesingborg,
Sweden, his native land, writes the
following interesting letter to his
father in law, Robert Rand, owner of
Wsu Guin GUN:
Again the Holy time, the Yule.td
the time of Peace on earth and good
will towards all mankind. approaches
and when this letter reaches y0u-if il
does reach you-Christmas will have
arrived.
Peace on earth and good will towards
all mankind
According to chronological records
these words were uttered 1914 years
ago at a time which we modern" and
"civilized" look back upon as barbaric,
rude and heathenish. And so undoubt-
edly ii was. For what did the people
of that time know about real true civ.
lli2atlon? They may have worshipped
God in spirit and In truth and rendered
assistance to the helpless and the needy
and otherwise manifested true Chris
tan spirit. But want TO ask you:
What did they know about machine
guns, gattling guns or the az cent?.
able TO NOV down more people than
whole nation contained in those uncul-
tured and civilized times?
Did the people 1900 years ago have
flying machines or airshps from which
they could throw down nice bombs
which destroy old and sacred edifces,
demOlish beautiful and unique build
ings and lay houses of poor people rs
well as rich in ruins, killing women
and children by the thousands?
Did they have armored cruisers or
dreadnaughts or submarines IRON
which one we'll directed shot can send
thousand human lives to eternity and
glory? No, they had nothing of all
this and that's the reason we Chris
tians' of the twentieth century are
really and truly civilized, and high
cultured because we have all these use
full things and know how to make the
proper use of them.
Of course the Jews and the Gentiles
were not entirely without a sort of cut
ture and refinement, which is evidenced
by the fact that they had their kings
and emperors and captains of the
hosts, in other words, a military caste
which, according to the Germanic code
of civilization is an evidence of culture
and Christian spirit.
But the means that the rulers and
war lords of that time possessed with
which to carry on their labor of love
and kindness were crude and incom-
plete, no better than the miserable
savages Of the African jungles make
use of in our own time in their en-
oeavor to eliminate those among them
who are unfit for the higher plane of
culture, which the twentieth century
standard demands.
No. want to tell you, the people in
those early days of the Christian era
were not able to comprehend one thou
sandth part of what is embraced in
those blessed words with which the
heavenly host heralded the coming of
the Son of man: Peace on earth, good
will towards all mankind.
First now. after two thousand years
of applied Christianity, are we men
tally capable of receiving the glad
