SOME PREPAREDNESS
Oregon City Enterprise )

N'''' N-A's A@''N~' II it'N'I
The Salem Capital Journal, which is
given to the promotion Of worthy causes
most of the time, observes that "while
those blue print warriors are drawing
plans showing how any old nation can
land q half million or more troops on
our shores in couple of weeks. they
entirely ignore the fact that we have a
navy about equal to any except Eng
land s. They assume tnat we would be
waiting for the foreigners who ever
they were to get through, These same
fellows were nearly scared into n duck
fit when the~old Oregon made the trip
around the Horn, lest some Spanish
fishing smack should run across her and
send her to the bottom Yet when the
test came, the good old ship showed she
was able to have whipped the whole
Spanish navy as a breakfast Job. Pre-
paredness is all right and perfectly
proper but the methods the big army
scare the public into taking their ad
vice is too much like a quack doctor
who frightens folks into taking his nos
trums by picturing all kinds of suffer
ing and death from a stubbed toe or an
ingrowing nail"
1t is a pleasing change from the ordi
nary editorial preparedness talk to read
a paragraph such as this one taken
from the Salem Journal A few Of the
people of the country now are yelling
at the top of their voices for the big

DIG UP
CANDIDATE TO RUN
AGAINST BEN OLCOTT
c. B. MOOres, Of Portland, Be-
ing GrOOmed for State
Secretaryship

The long looked for and much sought
for opponent Of Ben ". Olcott. for the
job as secretary of this state. has at
last been discovered" according to a
rumor which floated up from Portland
today when it was announced that G. !
MOores, chairman of the republican CEN
trail committee, would oppose OlcOtt for
the republican nomination. Petitions
are being circulated in Portland today
urging MoOres to become a candidate
for the republican nomination aIthou,
Mr.. Moores has not yet filed his dec
ration of candidacy or even announced
his intention to be a candidate.
The stand pat republicans have beer
cruising their secretarial timber for
eral months with but little success as
most of the candidates feared that o.
colt would be reelected and there is Ii
tie fun in being a candidate unless you
are elected.
Numerous possibilities were flushc.
but each looked over the ground and
then declined the honor with thanks.
Olcott looked too strong among the pro
gressive republicans, the democrats. and
the rank and file generally Of the voters
of the state. Moores is well known as
stand pat, dyed in the wool republican,
and one of this type was counted by the
republicans as likely to put up the best
race against Ocott.
The main objection 10 Olcott by the
Old Guard is that he was appointed by
West to the secretM snip and then he
stood by Vests policies and he was
even accused of being democrat. Since
his election to the office he has heaved
monkey wrench into the machine
few times and has gained the reputa-
tion of being sort of a free lance and
refusing to be bound to the chariot
wheel of the old party, all of which has
tended to arouse the animosity of few
who wish to see every vote unanimous
and in their favor.

The most suggestive fact of recent political moves is
the selection Saturday of chairman of the New York
republican central committee who is opposed to Roosevelt
The chairman selected Frederick C. Tanner who was
reelected to the position After his election he refused
to state his preference between Hughes and Root but
expressed opposition to Roosevelt He said "Whoever
is nominated must be real republican, one who has been
enrolled such for number of years. He added: 81
hope that only republican will be nominated" Evident
he many other republicans does not recognize Teddy
republican but rather as nsurgent who gave the
party everlasting licking by boiling its nominee for
president.

INTEREST AND THE NIMBLE DOLLAR

There is a saying that figures will not lie. This of
does not apply to female figures or any other-H
they PADDED but just to plain, unadomed figures
They are generally considered dry reading yet they
are at times deeply interesting and sometimes astounding
In the revelations they make.
Just now there is considerable agitation over rural
credits" and low interest rate for the farmer In this
connection few figures as to interest may not prove
Uninterestng.
person reaching the age of 80 years has lived 200
days If he has labored at days work he has, if working
steadily and not losing any time from sickness or other
causes put m say sixty years Of that time at the rate Of
80 days year, 1860 days If he has saved every day
one dollar from his wages he will have when he is 80
years old that number dollars, 18600 This estimate
allows him to begin earning and saving his dollar
day when he is 18 years old and quitting when he is 78
That is what days wages would bring hard working
and saving aborer at the end of long and industrious
life. Now let us see what dollar put at interest will do
and what up against in the battle with interest
One dollar placed at interest at per cent WILL if COM

one dollar working steadily just the working man we
have mentioned has done, would amount to S256 1t fol-
lows then that 500 placed at interest at the time
and at the rate would amount to $4,000 IN 80 years.
or $1,000 than the person would have earned in the
same time.
In 100 years the single dollar placed at interest would
have increased to $1024 If allowed to remain at interest
at the rate for another 100 years it would increase
1924 times and would make the snug sum of $l048576.
Allowed to run another 100 years it would at the end of
300 years amount to $1073661824 AT the end Of $50
years dollar placed at interest at per cent would
have earned $34157 168368 enough to pay the entire

The total crops of the United States are estimated at
$4,000 0OO000 so it would take the entire crops Of the
country for three years and half to pay interest

1t was discovered that Chicago can

amount of milk and that it should
not be necessary for the diaries to
raise the prices. 1t was also decided
to ask the corporation counsel for an
opinion concerning the right Of the

this is done the milk can be brought

MAY SHOW BURLINGTON STAND
ON ARBITRATION
How much does the Burlington be-
ieVe in arbitration?
Hale Holden, laWyer-president of
the Burlington road, said in Wash
ington few days ago that all dis
pUtes between railroads and workers
should be settled by arbitration.
Holden may, before the day is
over, have a chance to show how
much he meant that.
The striking freight handlers of
the Burlington road today took I'M
der adYiseemnt the suggestion that
they offer to submit their differences
with the Burlington to a board of
arbitration.
If the freight handlers do this, the
Burlington will have to accept the
offer, or by refusing, admit that HoI-
den was not speaking truly or sin
cereIy when he, in Washington,
talked so strongly for arbitration of
the trainmen's dispute.
In Washington Holden was such a |
strong champion Of arbitration that |
he was made chairman of the gen
eral committee of railroad presidents
which tried to induce Pres. Wilson to |
force arbitration of the trainmen's |
disputes.
John Fitzpatrick pres, of the G. F. |
of L. and organizer of the first union
of freight handlers in Chicago, was
the man who suggested putting it up |
to the Burlington to settle the freight |
handlers strike by arbitration. In
an enthusiastically received speech
at Bricklayers' hall today he told the /
men he thought arbitration talk of
railway presidents in Washington
was a snare, delUsiOn and a trick
to muIct the workers."
