People are beginning to realize
that the lower end of the Penin-
sula to all practical intents and
purposes is as enjoyable place
to spend vacation as at the
seashore. And many people are
taking advantage of it. All along
the lower peninsula camping
parties may be found. There
are hundreds of fine shady places
where tents may be erected,
hammocks swung and temporary
fireplaces built. Swimming and
fishing are the chief diversions.
Sandy beaches and sand covered
river bottom make it ideal for
bathing with no rough breakers
or outgoing tide to interfere
with swimming. On Sundays
especially hundreds of people
picnic and bathe along the beau.
tiful river bank and along the
Columbia slough. Thus the peo.
pie Of the Peninsula are special
ly favored because they can have
the advantages of a seashore re-
sort and save the expenses incl
dent to stay along the sea-
shore.

When the boat crowded with
excursionists turned turtle in
the Chicago river and 1900 or
more lives lost Saturday morn
ing of last week a thrill of hor-
ror spread throughout the length
and breadth of the land. The
sudden ending of the lives of
those who anticipated a day of
pleasure and delight, and espe-
cially the mortality among the
women and little children was
most appalling. IL is a frightful
cost to pay in warning ship own
ers to not overload their boats
and give more attention to the
welfare of their passengers and
less regard to receipts.

That ST. Johns should be po-
lice headquarters for the PENN
sula seems most feasible and
practical proposition. BY reason
of its location. the fact that the
city hall is available and adapted
for the purpose. and the ease in
reaching here from all parts of
the Peninsula appeal To the eter-
nal fitness of things. While some
may conclude that farther up the
Peninsula would be the most log
ieal point. yet in view of the
fact that il would be necessary
10 incur the expense of suitable
buildings for the purpose to 10.
cate at any other point, st. Johns
would be the most economical.
AS a matter of fact ST. Johns is
situated not far from the center
of the Peninsula and while the
lower end has not been develop
ed to any extent, yet il is only a
matter of few short years until
il will TEEN and flourish with |
business and industrial activity. |
Ii would seem like a wise step |
to also install a police Judge TO |
handle the petty cases of the
Peninsula. The police court in
Portland is rushed practically all
the time and a police Judge here
would be quite help in reliev-
ing that situation.
Arrangements should be made
for handling street and sewer
assessments and permits of va
rious kinds here, and a police
judge probably could take care ,
of this business during his spare
time. II is nuisance TO be COM
pelled TO go to Portland proper :
to pay street or sewer assess
ments. get a dog license, or in
fact any kind of a license.

The Germany That Makes War.
Chicago Tribune.)

NO country has given us more rich and kindly heritage than Ger many. There are no people who po.- sess warmer quality of human kind ness or social virtues of more whole some and enduring nature
 But Germany has also developed a special caste whose code is not from the New Testament but rather from the Old. It is capable of the stern logic of Miss CavelPs execu- tion, as 1t is capable of pouring o1rt its own blood unstintingly for it's duty and it's ideal. The German military caste lives for one high purpose-to make relentless war for the father land. In days of deepest peace it lives and breathes for this end. As the fish and the bird flies, the military aris- tocracy makes war for victory. They are the Spartans of modern times, and their code is as simple and intense, as rigid. and perhaps as bare as that of the implacable foes of Athens.
 Before the bar of this Spartan con- science the offense of Miss Cavell and the woman was tried. The judgment was logic, was law, was just in the narrow sense that pathetically and nobly, even it's victim seemed to ac- knowledge. Miss Cavell had fought the fatherland, had broken the law. The penalty for this offense was oeath. lnexorably she was decreed to d1e The Irrelevant voice of mercy, or compassion for the individual of chlValry Tor the woman could not prevail against that martial code.
 The execution of the heroic nurse was colossal blunder, illustratine and In most tragic way symbolizine the limitations of imagination of the class to which the German system has consigned the speciality of leading i,7 war. It points to a dangerous gan in the mighty and in most respects in- spring synthesis achieved by the l German genius.

Brand WhitIOck.
Boston Herald.)

The people of this country should not forget their debt of gratitude to the man who so admirably represents our best thoughts and ideals during these tragic days in unhappy Belgium. What could have been more dignified and yet more appealingly human than Brand Whitlock's simple intercessions for the life of this court -martialled English woman? That the appeal fell upon hearts of adamant was due to no lack either of energy or tactfulness on his part No one in the whole range of our diplomatic service could have met this difficult situation and shown to better advantage.
 It is some years since Brand Whit lock addressed a public audience in Boston, but there are many among his hearers who have not forgotten the impression of rugged strength joined with quiet dignity which he left upon everyone. The ring of sincerity that was in every sentence, the masterful command of his mother tongue, and the vein of true humanity which went through all that he had to say, these things have not been forgotten by many among our citizenship. He was then Mayor of Toledo, not yet forty years or age, known ch1eny as an ex- ploiter of anti-corporation prejudice and a writer of readable stories for boys.
 Usually it takes critical situation of great responsibility to bring out the true qualities of any man in pub lie office But President Wilson made no mistake when he chose our present minister to Belgium. At the time this selection was made there could have been no inkling of the soul-rending tasks that the incumbent would have to perform. Yet even if everything had been foreseen a better choice would scarcely have been possible.

Doctors of Plumbing.
( Waterbury Democrat. )

A patron of Harvard has given the university sum of money for the express purpose of promoting wider knowledge of plumbing." The income from the gift is to be used as an annual prize for the best thesis on some subject relating to house plumbing. This may be treated as theme for jest, but it's a matter worthy of serious consideration. The donor knows something about the tremendous part played by plumbing Tn the progress of society. He prob apIy has a suspicion-and a well louhded one-that there is no better criterion of civilization than the per lectlon to which this same humble ana intensely practical science is car rled. Plumbing and enlightenment go hand in hand. It is no accident that America, which is justly proud oI US own progress, has the best plumbing standards and the most plentiful supply of plumbing equip ment in the world. It pays for it, too-but that's another story. No master plumber, however, will pre- tend that perfection has yet been reached. Hence the value of the Harvard enterprise. And why i'm
 
 on drain pipes? Here we have graduate students working away by the thousands, year after year, pre- pairing learned treaties on such sub jects as Variations of the Greek Second Aorist,'' Weak Bindings in Chaucer's Verse; Basic Anglo Saxon Roots," "Lepidoptera of Mo- zambique," and other matters as practical and applicable to the vital needs of men and women in our street. as a description of the scenery on the other side of the moon. Let us have theses and monographs and masterpieces on plumbing, by all means. And let the owl-eyed pro- fessors come off their scholarly perches and give a degree of Doc tor of Plumbing for the most useful productions, regardless of the can didates grammar, photography or other evidence of general culture.
