Necessity Knows No Law


Everyone knows that export trade has been prac
tcay at standstill hence this great sale, to
sell off the manufacturers accumulated stock These
same conditions will never exist again, therefore
prices on thoroughly reliable pianos will never be
duplicated. There have been many occasions in the
past whereby the Eilers Music House has been in
position to offer finest makes of pianos at very sub
stantal discounts, but never heretofore has there
been such combination of circumstances that has
made possible, or let us say, compelled, such low
prices have now been arranged for retail buyers
in Tacoma and Southwestern Washington by the
factory representatives who are now in charge OF
this sale, the manufacturers make the prices and
guarantee the sale of these pianos player pianos
and baby grand pianos
1t is agreement with the manufacturers that
every time they sell two pianos for us we agree to
buy three of their surplus pianos. Eilers Music
House has been established and has grown great be-
cause it soemny assures positive satisfaction to
every purchaser or money back. The instruments in
this sale brand new shipped direct from the fac
tory, including few slightly used pianos. Nothing
reserved they all offered upon the same definite
and binding agreement on our part. No transaction
will be considered complete unless the purchaser is
positively satisfied We do not know how to say
this more emphatically Every instrument sold in
this sale must prove satisfactory to the buyer in
every way-both as to quality and as to price - or
no sale.
For nearly quarter of a century the Eiers or
CARNATIONS the Pacific Coast have carried out
every obligation and every agreement to the letter.

not press the question, but let us
rather turn to the hypothesis Of a
more or less artful attack upon the
United States by Japan.
Japan has seized her chance. I ad-
NIT that in taking possession Of the
Philippines, when they have so much
10 do at home. the United States made
a mistake. They should make It their
object to-day to insure as soon as pos
sible. under the guarantee Of the mod
ern progress Of International law, the
neutrality Of this too distant posses
sion. In the meantime 1t Ia here, as
the alarmists truly say. and in the
Hawaiian Islands that the United
States are vulnerable. and II Is upon
these that Japan has her eye.
AT the outset Japan. thoroughly
Informed by her omnipresent spies,
seizes the Philippines trifing task
for her-and the Hawaiian Islands
with their $4,000 resident japanese
an easier task. This done, she presses
her advantages. She threatens the
Isthmus OF Panama. She threatens
San Francisco. She seizes the spolls
Of a She establishes Gibraltars in
~ 1iCAiCO. IN q worn,
she becomes the mistress OF the Pa
cific. the mistress Of half the world,
neither more nor less.
THE vision is tempting enough. I
am willing to believe that among the
Japanese jingoes. a. among t!ngoes
everywhere, 1t is easy to find applause
for such a programme.
But to seize the Philippines from
America would be TO threaten the Brit
ish settlements In Asia. from Singa-
pore to Shanghai: the French. from
Saigon to Hanoi; the Russian. from
Vladivostok to Siberia: the Dutch IN
Java and Sumatra; the German colo
NAL possessions. II would threaten the
integrity OF Australia. II is indeed n
fine programme which w are sug-
costing for Japanese chauvinism, n

programme we'll worthy Of chauvin-

programme we'll worthy Of chauvin-
ism In general.
Nor would Japan fnd help from
Asia should she herself be the ag-
gressor. II she should in her folly
set herself against tho whole world
she would find that her influence in
would slip away. Her victory over
the United States would spell her ruin.
ANY effort to monopolize the Pa
cifc Ocean, any absurd and untimely
return to a Napoleonic dream spf a
universal blockade. could mean moth
ing for Japan but utter disaster. 1t
would be a march to the abyss, to an
inhalation and not to mastery.
TN Jul own interests W must all
see that the empire of the ocean Is to-
day but an idle dream. l cannot say
too often that no single State can pos
sibly be the mistress OF the sea. The
sea belongs I o the world at large just
as the heavens belong to aviation. No
combination OF diplomacy, no howlings
Of the press, a alter facts. War be-
tween the United States and Japan is
impossible"
The author stopped on at Lincoln,
Neb.. to see Mr.. Bryan, but did not
find him at home. On the trip he had
n little adventure which he records:
II lives in an elegant villa on top
Of a hill at some distance from the
town. | went there by automobile
through a woodless but fertile country
and over roads thai were not worthy
the name. ! must say! I admire the
strength Of American men, and espe-
cially American women. and also OF
the motor springs that can hold on,
against such steeplechasing. OF curse

in the builders hands and the roads
are attended to when everything else
Is finished. America is still In the

to keep me in good health by provid-

A system similar to the one being

depositors postal saving certificates
which are redeemable by the do
positors with two per cent interest.
In this way, the government has be-
come a part OF the school banking

The bureau OF education has given
ont reports which show that 100000
school children have deposits in the
various school banks In the cities
of the United States, totaling about
