Concerning Natura! Death.

"Under normal conditions most com.
plex animals have characteristic and
rather sharply defined duration Of life.
But One-celled animals, Which repro
duce by fission, are apparently i'm
mortal unless life is stopped by what
may be called an accident, for as the
cell divides in half, neither part may
be called the parent. and. both halves
will go on reproducing. And by TAX
ing cuttings from a plant, part of
the original may be kept living indeti-
nitely by repeated cuttings, While the
parent plant dies at the close Of It's
usual duration of life. Thus it would
appear" concludes writer in the
Journal Of Heredity, that natural
death is connected only with, organ
isms which are composed Of different
organs which c-e inseparable."

Beautiful Chinese Gardens.

From time immem0rial China has
been called the foWery kingdom. "a
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis Of flowers
Of the spirit in the world desert Of
barbarism, observes the New York
World.
In this oasis grew the arts of the
bronze and stone worker, Of the silk
maker and embroiderer, of the potter,
Of the painter on silk. Of the poet,
philosopher and ethical devotee.
But China was not named the flow
cry kingdom because Of these flowers
Of the mind. Her fora is one of the
most luxuriant in the world. It is es-
timated to consist of some 10000 spe.
eies, 5000 of which are known and one
half Of which are indigenous and not
found elsewhere.
Such being the flora of China it is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became a skilled
and honored profession.

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evange!ine. Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangellne Booth, lead.
er Of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in a report just received
by her from COL William A. Barker
of the .Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over a year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
"We will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlargins
the war relief work of the seven or.
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for drive for
funds. Each Is vital cog in vast

1.-THE Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared In privation and
trained to every phase Of human mis-
cry and how to cope with 1t. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
1--WE are of the common people. and
we toll on a practical, basis. We learn
ed the lesson Of how to do 1t in the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and weathered 1t
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
Of America, as in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men II
they but had the chance.

news aIais, licensed liar" This be-
ing 50. the American public who are
forced to read his d6ctored peace news
from Europe, or read none. are surely
free to say amen to this apt character
ization Of Creel now that such an
abundance Of proof has been given OF
its entire truthfulness. !.
Enough has leaked through, despite
the censored cable and wireless news,
to show that President Wilson is far
from securing from the statesmen of
France and England an agreement with
his vague peace ideas. In the very
teeth Of the inspired statement Of such
party hacks as Lawrence, Creel ct al.
that England will accede to the sug-
gestion that she reduce her navy, the
writer ventures the prediction that as
fact England will do nothing of the
kind, but will continue, las indeed she
ought), t. be the worlds foremost
power on the sea.
Nay. England, with gullet from
1900 to 1900 miles long, must have
mighty navy, else few piratical SUBJ
marines like those of the Huns, could
starve her to death in little over
week
I, Mr.. Wilson's threat that if she does
not thus agree to commit possible sui
eide, America will outspeed her till she
is bankrupted in the race for naval SUI
premacy, was wholly uncalled for, and,
moreover does not. represent the rea
sentiment of our people.
We within our huge continent entire
ly self-supporting in all things. includ-
ing food, could never be starved, and
therefore, have no imperative need to
possess 1.-THE biggest navy in the
world" but may properly content our
selves with building and maintaining at
high efficiency, very strong navy,
next, let US say, in size to England's.
Again the President is unwisely con-
tending that large number of ques-
lions that are only remotely connected
with the question of peace shall also be
decided at the Peace Conference, in
fact, that some of them, such as the
'sLeague of>Nations" -whatever that
may be- the Freedom of the
Seas another mystery-shall be set
tied before the real vital issue, peace,
shall be considered.
Acting upon the Presidents sugges-
lions there are already dozen or more
countries, from far off China to Siberia,
clamoring that their domestic troubles,
questions of government, racial dis
putes, etc., etc., shall be heard. The
result will! be to befog the one great
and pressing issue of peace, and breed
confusion. delay and possibly danger
Gus dissension.
The roleof Pater Patriae for all man.
Kind, is one no single mortal can play
under any circumstances, and any fool
ish attempt to do SO. will only end in
failure, maybe, in disaster.
Heaven knows, the first task Of the
Peace Conference, to make it impossi-
BILE for Germany a second time MUIR
derousiy to attempt the worlds enslave-
ment, is job enough without Juggling
in a couple dozen more. If the P-csi-
dents course is insisted upon, we fear
grave consequences will result. (

SOLIcITUDE FOR CON
VCTS; NEGLECT FOR
CHILDREN

~ HE need of new S400,-
VI 900 penitentiary for Ore
gon is not as pressing as
the necessity for teacher train
ing that will serve Eastern Ore
gon and Southern Oregon. No
one has to become a criminal,
but children have to attend
school and if trained teachers
are not available for school
work it is necessary for school
boards to make use of untrain-
ed teachers,
The dearth of trained teach
ers in Oregon is notorious. The
figures are very uncomplimen-
tary to the state. The state
superintendent has pointed out
more than once that the loss in
actual money from inefficient
school work resulting from
poorly trained teachers is fan
greater than would be the cost
of maintaining adequate nor.
NAL schools. 7ae53
Yet we have a legislative
proposal for a new penitenti-
ary as part of a S5,000,000
building program and no pro
vision for normals that will
serve Eastern Oregon and
Southern Oregon.
Tiled floors and all the mod
ern comforts for convicts but
no facilities for training those
whom must teach our children.
Is this reconstruction?
