WHAT AMERICANS WANT.

In estimating public sentiment the
Presidents cabinet. it is said, has ac-
cepted the belief that the nation has
voiced an insistent desire that the
honor and dignity of the United
States be upheld in the correspon-
dence with Germany, but that a
course be followed which will main
tain peace.
This is an accurate diagnosis of the
opinion that prevails very generally.
There is no desire to abandon rights
that have been won at heavy cost, nor
is there any wish to tolerate indigni-
ties that would lessen the prestige Of
the United States among the nations
of the world. There Is no desire for
peace at a price that would mean hu-
initiation and dishonor.
But there is a very ardent desire
that honorable peace shall be main
tanned. Americans do not want to
become involved in the European war
unless it is made very plain to them
that it is in defense of the honor and
dignity of their country and that hon
or and dignity cannot be maintained
in any other way.-Eugene Register.

EYE INJURIES FROM ALKALIES.

The daily papers and magazines of
the past two years, at home and
abroad, have contained numerous in
stances of more or less serious in
juries to the eyes from the explosion
of the central rubber bags of some
sorts of golf balls, filled with strong
solutions of alkalies. Popular atten-
ton being in this way drawn to the
danger from alkalies in golf balls, it
is we'll worth recalling the possibility
of injuries to the eyes from other
forms of alkalies.
A boy was busy whitewashing his
fathers fence when another boy came
along and they began to talk together
as boys will talk; from talk it was
not far to guying and sport, then
came pulling and hauling. In the
final struggle for the control of the
brush, the friendly boy tapped the
brush into the working boys face,
in so abundant a fashion that the
lime in the whitewash entered one Of
the eyes and injured it for life, leav-
ing a scar which neither medicine,
operation nor treatment can get rid
of.
Another injury recently reported
is one not so likely to happen to any
boy. 4 boy was so anxious to have
his face clean and presentable at din
ner that he made up thick lather
and then so completely enveloped his
neck, head and face with it that some
entered the eyes, burning the eye
balls so that the boy was hardly able
to see at all. This boy is injured for
life owing to his own thoughtlessness.
If he or his parents had attended any
public health lecture on the care of
the eyes, they would have understood
the risks of using strong alkalies near
the eyes in any fashion.

PORTLAND BUYERS WEEK. ="

Portland assuredly has adopted a
mutually satisfactory method of Sc
curing the interest of the retail mer-
chants of Oregon, Washington, Mon
tana and Idaho, and through the
worked out details of Buyers Week
it is a certainty that hundreds OF re-
tailers representing every city, town
and hamlet in the Northwest will be
there from August 9 to IA.
Portland pays the railroad fares
of the men who attend on Buyers
Week." if their aggregate purchases
amount to $500 or more. To most
of the merchants of this district such
a purchase would be small. The list
of Portland jobbers and wholesalers
who are joined in this movement con-
tains 107 names. Purchases made
from any of them will be Joined in
making up the total amount
In addition to all this the railroads
are giving reduced fares for the bene-
fit Of the families of merchants, and
a program of amusement has been
provided which will fill every night
and almost every luncheon hour dur
ing the week. All these features are
complimentary.
Tickets should be purchased Aug
ust 5. 6 or or August 8, 10 or IL.
Merchants should pay full fare one
way and take receipt
Through Buyers Week Portland
Jobbers & Manufacturers are endeay-
oring 10 impress the trade territory,
of which Portland is the logical CEN
ter, that the dealers of that city are
carrying the largest and most COM
plete stocks in many lines that are to
be found on the Pacific coast. 1t is
no longer necessary To place orders
with jobbers of the middle West or
in the East.
With 80 feet of water on the Co.
lulnbia River bar. a depth that will
allow the admission of the largest
vessels, and with every facility at
Portland for handling incoming and
out going products, it seems to be
a wise thing for merchants of the
three states to visit Portland on this
annual shopping trip, and secure the
advantages of a cash refund of rail-
road fare.

TROM every part Of the world
visitors are thronging to the
great Exposition at San Fran
cisco. The Exposition there is
the most comprehensive and interest
ing of all universal expositions, and It
will probably be the last to be held
within the present generation. Now
is the time to see it.
The Panama Pacific International Ex-
position. which opened on Feb. 20 last.
has charmed the millions who have al
ready beheld the magic city by the
Golden Gate.
The maryels of the universe are dis
played in the vast exhibit palaces, af-
fordng the most comprehensive sum
mary of the worlds progress ever dis
closed. Many of the exhibits are as
revolutionary in their character and
mean as much to future generations
as did the locomotive or telegraph
when 1t was first introduced. The
Audion amplifier, for example, makes
it possible for a man In New York city
to deliver an address through the tele-
phone to large audience in San Fran
cisco. 5000 miles away. Through the
use of heat waves the intensity Of the
voice vibrations is increased to such an
extent that. although the orator may
deliver his address in low voice into
the telephone in New York, in San
Francisco it Is possible to increase the
sound in volume sufficient to fill large
hall. On the other hand. the New York
speakers address may be distributed
through telephone receiving disks at
tached to each chair in the hall in San

GREAT CHANGE IN SENTIMENT

One of the most gratifying phe-
nomena of public opinion is the prac-
tically overwhelming sentiment in
favor of this country adopting a pol
icy of preparedness for military and
naval defense. The great war is un-
uuestionahly responsible. 1t has had
the same effect that great conflagra-
tions have in arousing public realiza-
ton of the necessity for adequate in
surance. Less than year ago
the president read message to
Congress that afforded much COM
fort to the facuouS pacifists. The
last annual report of the secretary
of the navy made light of the
r e N m n d a o II OF the gen.
eral board and contained assurances
of security which were not based on
the actual condition of any branch OF
the navy. Assuming illegal authority
he threatened court-martial against
any naval officer who should dare to
tell the country of true conditions,
Only one Of the presidents official
family faced conditions and based his
recommendation on our actual
needs. This was the secretary of war.
In his first report, in 1918, he showed
an Indifference to military needs. He
even suggested that this country pay
no attention to military aeronautics
until other nations had developed the
art of aviation. But as he became
familiar with conditions, he came out
boldly for adequate military prepar-
edness, regardless of the attitude Of
his chief and colleagues.
The campaign for preparedness
was generally carried on by private
citizens and minority members of
Congress, aided by the logic of
events. Now everybody, except the
incorrigible pacifsts, are in line. The
last Congress went beyond the rec
concentrations of the secretary of the
navy. He appears to have been con-
verted and will take an advanced po-
sition in his next report. He is now
busy organizing board of civilian
advisors to encourage and pass upon
naval inventions. The speaker of the
House has declared for doubling the
number of studnets at West Point
and for assignment of regular army
officers to private schools. The chair
man of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations has given a ringing
interview in favor of preparedness
Public sentiment is aroused through
out the entire country, not in favor
of "militarism,' the bugaboo Mr.
Bryan raised in the campaign of 1900
but for the establishment and main.
tenance of sufficient military and ma
val force to protect this nations vi
tai interests.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

A valiant fight was put up by the
Hardman citizens during the fire of
Monday night, and as result the
town was saved from total destruc-
tion. 1t is not very large place and
had a strong wind prevailed there
would have been no show of saving
it from destruction by the flames. No
adequate fire protection is provided,
and the citizens of that town will no
doubt get busy now and put in some
sort of protection. The little chem
ical engine that they have may be
sufficient in an emergency but it is
inadequate when a real fire is under
way. A gravity system of water for
fire protection ought to be available
for Hardman without a very great
outlay, and once established it is
easily maintained One real good
fire would pay for it many times over.
