NEWSPAPER RESPONSIBILITY.

JosephuS Daniels, secretary of the
navy. in an address delivered Labor
Day to a press association. urged all
editors TO subordinate their news to
the good OF the country. He particu-
larly felt, in this time of information
al strain. that newspapers should be
very cautious what they print. This
is good advice. but most people do
not realize how largely editors are
constantly following these counsels.
Controversies as TO whether GER
tain news should be published or not
almost always arise out of some indi-
viduals wrong doing. A man gets
too free with the convivial highball
and festive companions. he punches
some one in the face, and next morn
ing has a headache and a complaint
for assault and battery. After pay
ing his fine he calls around at the
newspaper office. His fraternal feel
ing for the editor is marvellous and
unaccustomed. Incidentally he wants
to have his little case kept out"
1T won't do zny good to print it"
is the familiar plea. No one is in
terested in it."
But no good purpose is served by
the suppression of such incidents.
Most men care little about fines. but
they care a great deal about the pub
lie disgrace. If the newspaper
screens them they are twice as likely
TO make asses of themselves again.
II is a different story when the
newspaper man comes in contact
with pohce and other responsible pub
lie officials. II the newspapers
printed all they knew. many criminals
would have the tip to buy tickets for
Canada.
Most Of the newspapers are hand
ling tacttully the news of the war
They freely print both sides. The!
have right to express an opinion a:
to the causes of the war. But news
papers of the saffron type should re
fleet that it does not pay to dignif,
mere rumor just as if it we're an au
thentic report. There are too man,
people who remember what you sal,
the day before.

Snare Moments.

What do you do with your spare
moments? Do you use them to bet
ter yourself, or do you use them for
a good time?
You have ambitions; every intelli-
gent person has. Why don't you
show the world what you can do? Are
you waiting for something to turn up
that will give you promotion? That
is mighty uncertain. You may be
waiting thirty years from now for
something to turn up and your best
days are past. Then what will you
do when you realize your life has
been a failure? When you go down
the street, look around and you can
see examples OF people who have been
waiting for something to turn up.
Ask them and they will tell you
where they made their mistakes.
Make use OF your spare moments
by training yourself for better posi-
ton. Make your own opportunities.

INTO THE WOODS FOR COMFORT.
This morning a man said:

This morning a man said:
Il tell you what I'm going to do
Sunday if the weather is fine. I'm
going TO take long walk in the
woods. This deluge of war horrors
has got on my nerves. / want TO get
way out into the cool quiet, where
patient nature is content to make its
changes slowly and soothe the smart
OF this horrible war news from Eu-
rope" Sensible fellowl
II wouldn't be a bad idea If all of
US. for such purpose, should take
to the woods. the open fields or the
untroubled waters.
TTue. each OF these is vexed and
torn by storms at times. when the
elements. in anger. cut and slash. No
where is peace eternal.
But a bath for the soul in the calm
OF nature at rest is as necessary. now
and then, as a water bath for the
grime-soiled body.
II you 20 for consolation to the
woods remember:
After the hurricane spills out its
might in great swaths of ripping ruin
II isn't long till new shoots spring
up. green vines wind round the river
trunks. their glossy foliage hiding
the scars, and wild flowers carpet the
ground with beauty.
Hope never dies.

cations as those at Wilhelmshaven,
Heligoland and Cuxhaven.
Equally disastrous would it be for
the English fleet to venture through
the narrow straits which must be
passed in entering the Baltic These
would be heavily mined, and in their
confined waters the fleet would lose
heavily also from destroyer and sub
marine attack.
Another and most important stra-
tegical advantage in the German sit
uation is the Kaiser Wilhelm canal,
which affords quick passage for the
largest battleships from the Baltic to
the North Sea. This canal practically
cuts the British fighting line in half
1t was built for this purpose.
For if the British should force
their way into the Baltic. the Ger
man fleet could pass to the North Sea
through the canal and the Elba
steam to the English Channel. sink
the vast fleet of transports that are
carrying men and supplies to the
English army in Belgium, and harry
the whole English and French coasts.
Hence. in seeking to bring the Ger
man fleet TO action, it would be nee
essary for England to leave half her
fleet at the mouth of the Elba and
send the other half around Denmark
into the Baltic. This would mean
that, so far as her dreadnought
strength is concerned, Germany could
elect to fight either fleet under equal
conditions.
The only other way to get at the
Germans would be to reduce the coast
Notifications with an expeditionary
army. But the German coast on the
North Sea is so shoal that the land
ing of such a force from transports
is out of the question. There remains
only one way in which it could be at
tempted.
If England followed Germany's ex-
ample w violating the neutrality of
Holland. or should Holland enter the
Triple Alliance, Amsterdam would
form an excellent base for an expedi-
tion for the reduction of the Will
helmshaven and Cuxhaven fortifica.
tions. This would open the way for
the seizure of the North Sea end of
the Kiel canal. Should Russia con-
tinue her successful invasion of Prus-
sia. she might in time, though at an
enormous sacrifice, capture Dantzig,
Stettin and. with the aid of the Eng
lish. even Kiel itself. That would
seal the doom of the German fleet.
Can it be done? The factors of
time and cost are against it.

TRUST ETHICS DOUBLE SIDED.

A clinical thermometer registering
the political sagacity of doctors of
medicine would probably stand at
zero. says the Oregonian. Probably
no action could have been taken by
the State Medical Association that
would do more TO push along the
"anti-dental trust bill" than the asso-
eiation's adoption in one day of res
olution opposing the measure and OF
another resolution proposing a boy
colt. One paragraph OF the report OF
the Fridays proceedings tells OF for
NAL opposition TO the measure which
proposes TO change present require
ments and qualifications for the
practice OF dentistry and il records
another formal declaration that the
members Of the association will not
pztroniIe advertisers not represented
in the official organ OF the associa-
ton. In other words. the association
is opposed TO a more liberal admis-
sion Of dentists to practice in Ore
gon and will boycott any medicine. no
matter how meritorious. IL IL is ad-
vertised in publications other than a
doctors magazine at Seattle.
The chief argument presented
against the existing Law defining the
qualifications OF dentists is that the
act fosters a dental trust which is
part and parcel OF an ethical medical
trust. To meet this argument the
Oregon State Medical Association op-
poses alteration OF existing Law in one
breath and in the next adopts trust
methods to show it's disapproval OF
medicine-advertisin in non-medical
publications. The physicians have
given plausibility to the argument
that a medical trust exists.
A little more tolerance by physi-
clans OF things outside an ultra-oon-
seryative Gods OF ethics would help
10 preserve the really valuable bull
warks that has been erected in Ore
gon against general admittance OF
quaekery 10 the state. Their present
attitude provokes assaults that will
sooner or later destroy.

WAR STYLES OF DRESS.

Fall styles, the fashion writers tell
us. though American made, are to
enable the wearer, by some little
touch in the costume. to indicate with
which Of the warning nations her
sympathies lie. They've been de-
signed to look something like mill
tary uniforms.
OF course, any woman who thinks
deeply of what war means to women
and children will not take kindly to
this attempt to exploit the wars ex-
elements and tragedies.
Women are the last persons in the
world who ought. even in so slight
a matter as the style of their dress,
to encourage the military spirit. For
war lays upon the mits severest bur-
dens. Among men the hell of war is
at least tempered by action and COM
radeship. But women must suffer
its hardships in silence and mostly
alone.
So it's not very likely that even
the lure of fashions will turn many
except giddy and thoughtless women
into boosters OF war.
Moreover, this is America, a neu-
tral nation, with charity for all and
malice toward nome" and it becomes
all of us to soft-pedal our partisan
ship.
Better peace than a war style of
dress; If any uniform is TO be fea-
tured let it be the uniform OF mercy
rather than the uniform Of death.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
Own Your Home.

No man who has the opportunity
should fail to acquire title to the
property in which he is to reside.
Until one owns his own home his life
is not as complete as it should be.
Even if a man must go in debt to
secure his home it is the thing for
him to do. Paying for a home is as
good game as one can engage in,
and the difficulties attending it but
lend zest to the struggle. Those who
enter the lists almost invariably come
out better for the effort.
Really, the chances taken are not
formidable. In Ashland purchase OF
real estate at fair valuation is
good business investment. Land val
ues are going up all the while and
they will continue to go up for years.
In cities like--urs with desirable in
fluence and every advantage as a res
idence city there is not even the pros
pect of a reversal.
If there did not exist the CONNER
cial argument in favor of owning
ones home there would be plenty of
other reasons for recommending it.
Some one has remarked that it is like
reaching the state of parenthood
When one acquires a home he has
something worth living for-fighting
for. 1t makes him better citizen
and better member of society. 1t
gives him substantial interest in the
great organization known as govern
ment.
And while it increases a mans
sense OF obligation to society and his
country, it gives him a new sort of
freedom. In his own home a man
feels at liberty to do things he does
not feel like doing in the homes of
others. He expands and develops his
energy. Perhaps he establishes
talent for mechanics. Perhaps he

herent longing to dig and plant. He
may never become an inventor or a
successful grower of plant life, but
he can have the fun and satisfaction
of trying without feeling that he is
imposing on someone else. II he
wants to have a work bench in the
cellar or tear up the lawn for his ex-
periments in gardening, it is his own
business.
1t costs money to keep up a home,
but what of that? 1t costs money to
enjoy any of the pleasures of this
life. and there is nothing that gives
so big a return for the expenditure
as does an abode wherein one can
exercise his own will. No other pos
session he may acquire ever means
quite so much to a man as does this
first home.
