God Save Us From a Hen-Peeked
 Nation.

I follow the blow for a living and my views may have in them the smell of the soil: my hair is turning white under the frost of many winters and perhaps l am a little old-fashioned, but l believe there is more moral in- nuence in the dress of woman than in all the statute books of the land As an agency for morality, l wouldn't give my good old mothers home made gowns for all the suffragettes constitutions and bylaws in the world.
 As a power for purifying society l wouldn't give one prayer of my saintly mother for all the womens votes m Christendom As an agency for good government, 1 wouldn't give the plea of a mothers heart for righteousness for all the oaths of office in the land.
 There is more power in the smile of woman than in an act of congress. There are greater possibilities for good government in her family of laughing children than in the cab inet of the president of the United States
 The destiny of this nation lies in i the home and not in the legislative halls The hearthstone and the fam l fly Bible will ever remain the source of our inspiration and the Acts of the ! Apostles will ever shine brighter than 1 the acts of Congress
 This country is iawmad. Why add to a statute book, already groanin9 l under it's own weight. the hysterica cry of woman? If we never had chance to vote again in a lifetime anc did not pass another law in twenty five years, we could survive the or deal, but without home civilization would wither and die
 God save these United State' from becoming a hen-pecked nation help us keep sissies out of Congress and forbid that women become step fathers to government is the praye of the farmers of this country.

Woman Is Ruler Over AL

Why does woman chafe under re, straint of sex? Why revile the hand of nature? Why discard the skirts that civilization has chung to since the beginning of time? Why lay aside this hallowed garment that has wiped the tears of sorrow from the face of childhood? In its sacred embrace every generation has hidden it's face in shame; clinging to it's motheriy folds, tottering children have learned to play hide and seek and from jt youth learned to reverence and re- spect womanhood Can man think of his mother without this consecrated garment?
 Why this inordinate thirst for pow CT? Is not woman all powerful? Man cannot enter this world without her consent, he cannot remain in peace without her blessing and unless she sheds tears of regret over his depar- ture, he has lived in vain. Why this longing for civic power when God has made her ruler over all? Why crave authority when man bows down and worships her? Man has given woman his heart, his name and his money. What more does she want?
 Can man find 1t in his heart to look with pride upon the statement that his honQrable mother-in-law was one of the most powerful political bosses n the country, that his distinguished grandmother was one of the ablast 6libusters in the Cenate or that his mother was a noted warrior and her name a terror 10 the enemy? Whither are we drifting and where win we land?

large European loan in this nation
aim to set aside or violate this policy.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that new conditions have arisen since
the commencement of the war, max
ing it not only advisable but virtually
necessary for this country to extend
credit to the nations which already
have become enormously indebted to
it, and whose obligations continue to
grow at rapid rate.
In other words, the nations which
have been purchasing vast quantities
of supplies in this country now seek
to establish permanent credit as the
basis of payment for their obliga-
tions, and it is merely a business du-
ty, based on self-interest and self pro-
lection, for this nation to enter into
such arrangement. To refuse this
credit would be to seriously injure
our own trade and industries and to
check, if not jeopardize, national
prosperity. The plan does not con-
template the sending of American
gold abroad, which would have been
the result of war loans arranged dur
ing the early stages of the European
conflict, but simply means that the
European countries will be allowed to
keep their gold, rather than send it
to this country in settlement of ad-
verse trade balances. And for this
credit, in the shape of loan, Ameri-
tans will draw a good rate of inter-
est, at the same time having their
principal protected by ample securi-
ty.
The plan is one of obvious advan-
tage to both sides and there seems to
be no reason why it should not be ac-
cepted by American bankers, or why
the government should refuse to sane
tion the proposed arrangement. If
anything, this country will be getting
the best of the bargain, for it will
be enabled to make profitable loan
without advancing the actual cash
and it will make a double profit, first
on the goods it sells and next on mon
ey represented by the sale of these
goods.

fBut our adventures still continue
-unabaRd.
YESTERDAY we skidded down hill
to Falls City.
and saw all the sights.
who also looked us over.
TAnd coming back-up the hill
told Dean-about dream-I had the
night before.
III don't know what caused it-any
more-than know
what caused the war
or Kernel Roosevelt
or any other-visitation of Prov
idence.
FBut anyway dreamed-that
llDean and I-were over on North
Fork-of the Rickreall.
Investigating the rumor-that the
stream contains fish.
'And we had camp.
and I was sitting by the fire
reading "Pilgrim Progress.
and enjoying myself.
TAnd Dean was up the creek-try-
ing to get something-for supper.
FAnd | heard noise
and looked up.
'And a big black bear-came
through the brush
and stopped-in little open
space-about 10 feet-from the camp
fire.
TAnd right behind the bear-was
Dean-scowling darkly-and kicking
it.
and talking to it-harshly--
in words that | didn't under
stand.
rBut / remember-that I pitied the
bear-for the way Dean was treat
ing it.
TAnd Dean had knife.
and he came around-to the head
of the bear.
and hit it on the nose.
FAnd it turned around-with its
back to the fire.
and buried its nose in the leaves.
TAnd Dean sharpened his knife
on his boot
and began to cut steaks,
off the bears left hind check.
TAnd as he cut each steak-he
threw it over his left shoulder.
and it lit in the pan-that | had
put on the fire-a few minutes be-
fore
and started to sizzle.
TAnd he cut three steaks
while the bear whined-piteous-
ly.
TAnd then he patted the bcal--on
the nose.
And scratched it-back of its
ears.
TAnd it felt better.
and stayed for supper.
TAnd the whole thing-seemed so
real-that l don't know-whether l
dreamed it-or not-because-

PLAIN BUSINESS.

A Joint commission of British and
French financiers. who also represent
the interests of Russia and may be
further commissioned to represent
Italy. is in this country to confer
with American bankers and financiers
concerning the question of foreign ex-
change and international trade set
Elements. At the very outset it is
plainly admitted that this commission
aims to secure large loan in this
country. not less than half billion
dollars. and a round billion if they
can get it. The details of this pro-
posed loan are the smallest part of
the problem. as all this can easily be
arranged if it is found the bankers of
this nation are willing to advance the
money on good security and at fair
rate of interest. And of course the
decision of the bankers will depend
on the attitude of the government to-
ward a transaction of this kind, and
possibly to some extent on the atti-
tude of public sentiment, which is ap-
parently in favor of the grant.
AT the commencement of the big
European war the Washington admin
istration made it plain that it would
view with disfavor any movement for
the floating of loans in this country
for the direct purpose of financing
the European war. This policy was
generally accepted by American bank
ers and fnanciers and has been ad-
hered to up TO the present time. Nor
does the present plan for floating a

ADVERTISING DAY.

The popular saying that these are
advertising days" cannot be contro
verted. 1t is equally appropriate tc
observe that "every day is advertis
ing day" with up-to-date Americans
Shrewd financiers and merchants
do not neglect to advertise in one
form or another almost every day in
the year.
Advertising in the press started
probably longer ago than can be def
nitely ascertained. China was issuing
newspaper thousands of years ago
In Europe advertisements appeared
in the newspapers as early as 1648
and from that time to this the public
has looked upon advertising with
growing favor
The enterprising man who desires
to buy or sell something does not ov-
erlook newspaper advertising. Exper-
ience soon teaches him the value of
letting people know how he and they
can be of mutual assistance.
Rich men in numerous lines of in
dustry made their first money by
carefully consulting the contents of
A first-class journal is
full of valuable suggestions which
keen men of affairs know how to use.
1t is a good plan for all ambitious
and enterprising citizens who need to
get in touch with the public rightly
to realize that, as rule, every day
should be advertising day. And they
should carefully select the right med
ium for their newspaper advertise
ments making the same large or small
according to their means. The small
advertiser usually develops into a
large one if he handles his first prof
its judiciously.-Boston Globe.

the man who works with his hands
and the man who works with his
brain, or who simply own property
for a living. Moreover, he contends
that this would develop a more fit
race.
As we said before, there is some
thing in this suggestion that is worth
thinking about. Even those who are
opposed to the plan of compulsory
military service will not be able to
urge the same objections to this pro-
posed plan of compulsory industrial
service. Both are primarily based on
the desire to gain efficiency for the
nation as whole and incidentally to
promote the efficiency of the individ-
ual, and the industrial army plan
might bring even more valuable re-
suits than the plan for compulsory
military service. 1t is new and nov
ell suggestion and typical of Mr..
Roosevelt himself, whose great aim
and ambition always has been to be
of service to his fellowmen and his
country. And while there is small
prospect of the speedy adoption of
this plan of compulsory industrial
service, one readily may believe the
time will come when this proposal
will be seriously considered, and may
even become an accomplished fact.

ANOTHER ROOSEVELT PLAN.

Ey-President Roosevelt is a man of
original views and opinions, and even
tbouob Won NAV not always agree
with him he never fails to give you
something TO think about. The duty
of individual service is one of his pet
bobbies and he has lust offered a
suggestion along this line that is fair
" startling. He is a strong believer
in comnulsorv military service for all
able-bodied citizens and he holds that
tbe adont;on of this system would be
as beneficial TO the individual as to
tbe nation as a whole. But he now
ooes a stem farther by declaring there
sbopld he n system of compulsory in
dustr;al service-tbat every citizen of
tbe nation sbould he required to give
hne vear of b;s life TO some kind of
work for tba yeneral public benefit

BOW-WoW.

The Observer appears to be partic-
ularly interested in suppressing the
rumor that the Falls City branch of
the S. P. is to be electrified. In stat
ing that the rumor has no foundation
it appeared to many citizens here that
the reporter displayed unwonted zeal
for it to be only mere matter of
news.-Falls City News.
In the language of the lamented
Bill Shakespeare, this is the unlIind-
est cut of all, and directly contrary
to the facts in the case, as is evi-
denced by the files of this publication.
The News would have its readers be-
lieve that The Observer, in stating
that the rumor mentioned is without
foundation. spoke discouragingly Of
improvements that might rebound to
the benefit of Falls City. The OBJ
server has. let it be said, given far
more space to the advertising of the
advantages and natural resources of
Falls City and the contingent terri
tory than to any other particular sec
ton of Polk county, aside from that
Immediately tributary to Dallas, and
careful comparison shows that it has
devoted more time and energy in be-
half Of the city by the falls, from
purely promotion standpoint, than
has its esteemed contemporary which
makes a wry face and attempts in un-
dertones to belittle our efforts.
When, for instance, the new high
way to the coast was being construct
ed from Falls City this publication
devoted liberal space to the advan-
tages that would naturally accrue to
that place, setting forth, for the mu-
tual benefit of the traveller and that
community the picturesqueness Of
Falls City's surroundings and invit-
ing automobilists to make it a point
to spend time there while enroute to
the beach. This same article appears
in the automobile guide, 100000 cop
les of which were printed by Port
land automobilists for distribution
throughout the country. The News
evidently did not see sufficient value
to this important link road to even
:.'cover it from news standpoint.
And this is but one Of the many in
stances than might be recited to re-
fute the implication unwarrantedly
made by the editor of our rural con-
temporary.
The more than two hundred read
ers of The Observer in the Falls City
neighborhood have time and again
showed appreciation of this publica
tons efforts to "keep them on the
map" realizing that real publicity
must emanate from a source other
than one sorely afflicted with a per-
petual crouch.

SIGNIFICANT OF PROGRESS.

Nothing more strikingly illustrates
how the spirit of modern progress has
permeated to all parts of the world
than the announcement that when the
mikado of Japan assumes formal SOW
ereignty over the island empire few
weeks hence, he is going to smash a
traditional japanese precedent by hav-
ing a part of the ceremonies take
place in public. How highly import
ant is this breaking of precedents
may be gathered from the length OF
time that the precedents have lasted.
Japanese accession customs are not
something of recent date, like the
crowning of European monarchs
whose line goes back only seven or
eight centuries. In Japan the emper-
ors have been taking over the job III
the same old way for upwards of
$500 years.
At the moment when mikado as
sumed his high office-which is not
only temporal but in a sense spiritual,
as the japanese belief is that their
ruler possesses certain OF the attr1b-
ates that other peoples give only to
deity-he has, during all these years,
been invisible to all his people. Not
even the highest officials of the empire
have been present. What he did, and
said, and thought, has been secret
locked forever in his own breast.
1t is a matter of no little general
interest to note how even the older
nations of the world are coming to
recognize the right of the populace,
or a part of the populaee at any rate,
to have a part in such ceremonies.
The present emporer Of Japan has
announced that he will be pleased, on
the day of his accession, to have a
certain representation of the public IN
sight when he silently regards him
self in the honorable sacred mirror
which is the act that in Japan takes
the place of the coronation. He will
then receive from the lord chamber
lain and minister of the household
the ancient sword of state and the
comma-shaped jewel which is emble-
matical of eternity.
After this ceremony has taken
place, the mikado will, as his prede-
cessors have done for centuries, visit
the tombs Of the former emperors and
before each door will announce to
their spirits that he has assumed the
authority of government. For twen-
ty-fve centuries there has been no
essential deviation from this program.
In changing the precedent to allow
for part of the ceremony to be public
the mikado recognizes that there is a
new order of things in the world.
