PATRIOTISM.

false patriotism which always has prevailed is the
real basis Of the present great as it has been OF most
others.
What we call patriotism and which we are accustonl-
ed to ideaze as one of the nobest qualities began IN the
patriarcha family extended to the tribe and broadened
TO the nation; and this is as far as it has gone.
The patriotism which is bounded by national border
lines while often calling forth almost godike devotion
is in reality one of the naroWes and crueest forces IN
the world 1t is the not only OF most wars but OF
constant ieaousies and enmtes and it is one OF the
greatest obstacles to broader human progress.
Patriotism, as fostered by governments IS monster
that must now and then be fed with human blood lest ne
perish from lack Of sstenance and must be kept drunk
on hates lest he come to his senses.
The Youngest the b1avest the best dying by countless
thousands-for what? They do not know. They have
only the shbboleth Patriotism"
Such patriotism is worse than failure Civilization
is having hard time these days trying to appear conss-
tent and logical and to read Gods mind Each nation
reads His mind and nterprets His will in different way
according to the different nations selfish desires and
eaousies
Who knows whether God is laughing at the maddened
millions of insane murderers weeping with the wives
and children at home In any event. He knows that such
patriotism is a mockery and a deuson and a snare.
This great war will not have been in vain If it results
in broadening patriotism beyond national border lines
and making it stand for high principle instead of the self
sh interests of communities Many believe that this will
be the last great war If So it will be by reason OF he-
nendous change in the character of patriotism

SEEING OVER THE PHONE.

An Engishman has invented an apparatus by which
it is possible to see over the telephone 1t is doubtless an
excellent and wonderful contrvance, but hope it won't
ever come into use in Salem.
It's all very fine to see the person at the other end OF
The wire but Just reflect that that person will also see
You. Suppose you're bawng out the exchange girl be-
cause you can't get your number Do you want her to cut
in suddenly with the question: Say mister you really
as grouchy as you look?" Suppose you're explaining to
you wife that you've got so much work to do at the of
lice YOU can't come home for dinner; and friend wife cool
y remarks, Very WELL dear; but you don't LOOK busy
you're face isn't at all convincing" And suppose you're
woman and when the bell rings you rush to the phone
regardless of uncombed hair and neglgee-
No it won't do One Of the chief values of the ele-
phone is that it enables us to talk to people without show
ing our faces We're all good poker players over the
phone When wires have eyes, there will be too many
bluffs called.

Senator Stone Voices Sentiment of the Committee When lie Intimates That Roosevelt Might "Write What He Has to Say"

Washington D. C., July 23.-Ther- dore Roosevelt's request to be heard by the senate foreign relations com mittee in opposition to the Colombian treaty. by which the United States would pay $25,OOOO0O for the Panama canal strip and express regret that anything should have occurred to mar the friendly relations between the two countries" remained unan- swered by the committee today. No decision will be reached for another week.
 Democratic members of the com mittee and administration leaders generally are said to be opposed to holding hearings with relation to the treaty, and particularly to the appear ance of Colonel Roosevelt. Il this they follow the sentiments of Sena. tor Stone, chairman of the foreign relations committee, who today re- terated his declaration that the for | mer president had said all he could say about the Colombian matter and that if he had anything further to say let him write it."
 | Republican members of the com. mittee, it was learned today. are not all in favor of inviting Mr Roosevelt to appear. Senator Smith of Michi- gan, however, was outspoken in the matter, asserting that Mir. Roosevelt should be called by all means Ad- ministration senators contend, how ever, thata the country is net now in- terested in what happened in Colom- bia ten years ago. but in what should be done to adjust strained relations now existing
