Mir. Wells and the Conference.
(Portland Oregonian.) ]

H. G. Wells shakes compacency. Of all the nations which engaged actively in the America las more nearly got back to that delightful state f0f business usual. Here worries and troubles Iwere looked upon but the travail of the normalcy. We felt that getting feet The future seemed bright and fairly content and cheerful.
 The insolvences, the starvation the distress of many varieties in Europe of which observers tell us tdd daunt us. They seemed to be so wholly Eapart from that they might be of another time, mere page from ancient history. We assumed, too, that Europe recovering from the blight of war. We wanted to believe. We have done little to help, but not much. We have been and com pacent. Everything will turn out all right
 But hear from MT. Wells that Europe is not recovering. It's civilization is slipping slipping Each month territory succumbs to the inertia of despair And unless Europe is sustained, revived it will drag down with it.
 The voice of MT. Wells is the voice of an evangelist crying in wilderness of materialism and sefshness. One may doubt the practcability of his ideal ideal of world in which boundary lines between nations all but obterated but not doubt his sincerity dispute the mastery of his presentation. One reads and is enthralled by the epic quality of his pen, yet reads is pro- Pfoundly disturbed.
 In the agenda of the conference-that formal pro- gram of subjects for consderaton-there is naught that implies background different from that which would have existed in similar conference held a Fdecade ago. Between MT. Wells idealism and the oppressive cost of ornaments there is seeming chasm of vast breadth and depth. Yet there is un- questonably the hope that from the conference will emerge not alone immediate recession from displays Icf armed might, but international sympathy, and good will, and understanding and acceptance of legitimate national aspirations. MT. Wells undoubted knowledge of world conditions and his power to put Hhat understanding into lucid expression, pulls back the veil of maerialism that enshrouds the confer ence. It is helpful It is needed. It is fortunate that he comes to America.

FINE WORK!

It reassuring to learn that to Ehu Root had been assigned the task of preparing the decision of the Washington Conference Chinese matters. No only the peer of the world greatest information lawyers, but he is familiar with every detail of the Far Eastern question. He has watched it deyelon step by step, for half lifetime, and for than quarter of century has been more or less ia- tmately connected with its development. He played large part in it during that period. His position upon is the American position the positie of Bayard and Blaine and Hay and Knox and Coll ; well as that of himself.
 And the telegraphic accounts of the agreeme would indicate that the old of American diplo- that the American position has been approve by the world and accepted by Japan and China.
 The fact that China is suspicious of Japan in tn matter is not surprising. The lack of confdeno the part of the Chinese in the premises is oi Japans doing No country possessed the con fdence and goodwill of another to greater extent than Japan possessed the confidence and goodwill o China at the time of the Russo Japanese War. Th6 people of China hailed the Japanese as delivere when they came in and drove the grasping Russian from off their backs But subsequent events caus | that Japan had but substituted herself for Russia.
 However the Chinese have every to fe assured that the Japanese cannot fool with agre ment that was prepared by MT. Root, and there arc to believe that Japanese statesmen hay caught the spirit of the times, and have determn to accept it as it is in good faith.

LET US GIVE THANKS.

Tomorrow has been apart by duly constituted authority and custom day on which American people may give thanks for blessings conferred upon us by the God of the Universe. It is very appropriate that it should be so The have been kind to the American people Those who constitute the United States of America directed to great land of abundant resources far away from the traditions and binding customs of society and government that were fashioned in the ages when the groping for light midst conditions that primal where funda mental principles of right and freedom might be ap piled without letter. It great opportunity to grow These among the greatest of the blessings for which Americans may give thanks tomorrow.
 It was a blessing, also that the American people obstacles work their destiny These counted for character building and physical mental devel opment and made victories worth while when
 The greatest of the favors for which we have to give thanks however is that the people whom fate brought to these shores were given the light and strength of character to make of the opportuni ties the hardships and obstacles and to make continued progress We have not always made the best use of our opportunities, have come all the obstacles and hardships, made great progress might have made but should be thankful that we have done well have
 And, among Americans, there none who have to be thankful for than have those whom fate has brought to Alaska. We have great land with abundant resources and opportunities for all the talents and, abilities Of which the is possessed taken up their residence here, for all have hardy, hberty-loving, patriotic and intelligent neighbers
 So let us give thanks tomorrow for the blessings that have been vouchsaed to us by the Great Ruler of the Universe.

 Well, what are you going to do If it's a fair question:"
 I'm just going to loaf"
 Why don't you work while you've got a chance land loaf when you have to?'
 That ain't my style. There ain't fun loafing when you have to. When I sit around and smoke knowing that I could just as we'll be out making good money as not, there's satisfaction in it. I'm paying out coin for the privilege. I'm no cheap skate All those jobs go to blazes-for to-day anyhow. AS for the old woman, I an't going to give up good money to stop at home and chore around for her-not by jugful She may go to bazes too. I'll just loaf. I don't have to loaf but I'll just loaf for the fun of it."
