WILL CONGRESS SEE PACIFIC SLOPE NEEDS?
With an American naval fleet worthy to represent the power and
majesty of this nation in Pacific waters, we will hear less impudent
talk from the Japanese. It was high time that President Roosevelt
called the yellow bluff, and there is not a patriotic citizen but will
applaud this action which is an unmistakable sign to the world ihat
this country is prepared to defend her own in the name of justice ana
fair play.
Japan is like some inrliviiluals we have known. Treat her
deferentially and kindly and she looks upon your generosity as a sign
ot weakness and attempts to take selfish advantage of it. Bob
Evans' guns at her head will materially reduce tho inflation thereof.
Astute and farsighted Americans have for years seen a danger
In the east. Our Pacific slope has been notoriously neglected both
in the matter of offensive and defensive war preparation. The naval
force in Atlantic waters has been constantly expanded until our navy
became recognized as a standing force pivoting in the occidental
ocean, and all this despite the constantly growing American responsi
bility on the west coast and in the green waters beyond.
This newspaper has repeatedly called attention to this condition
of affairs. Our unpieparedness wis acknowledged at Washington,
but the answer to the insistent demand that some action be taken
on the Pacific was that naval strategy looks in the other direction.
Perhaps we do not realize how close to tbe war danger line we have
been in the past few months. It is an acknowledgement on the part
of the administration that this danger was growing when our ships
are rushed around the Horn to make a demonstration of power for
the instruction of Slant Eyes. Perhaps congress, at the forthcoming
session, will pay more attention to the requests of citizens of the Pa
cific states for an equal share of ammunition and machinery of war.
What It Means

The cleaning was only half done,

She expected bim to be cross. He
bad every right to be cross, she
knew. She had mismanaged every
thing. She was just a failure.
And she threw her arms around
bis neck, sobbing.
But the man was more of a man
than she thought. He did not
apeak 1 unpleasant word. He did
aot ntter a single syllable of blame.
He did not even frown the least
r bit.
\ \ Instead, he put hia arms around

would not make things any better,
but it wasn't that either.
It was because be was a man

Poets and authors have written
volumes about kind words, but none
of them nor all of them have ever
come anywhere near expressing all
the beauty, all the power, all the

The world was a different place
to that woman. Her tiredness van
ished. Her tears were dried. Her
disappointment in herself was taken
away. Her love for her husband
was magnified a thousand-fold.
There was only sunshine where

GETS FEW HOURS IN JAIL
HELENA, Mont., July 10.—
Twenty-four hours in Jail and a,
fine of $250 was the sentence
given John Forester, the Miles
City stockman who pleaded guilty
to fencing nearly 10,000 acres of
public land. Judge Hunt applied
this peculiar penalty. Forester took
the sentence as a joke, paid the
fine and went to jail to serve out
his "terro."

OR ROBERT'S RENDEVOUS WITH THE RED-HANDED ROVEQS
BY F. W. SCHAEFER.
"FIVE DOLLARS, PLEASE," COL. CRUST ANNOUNCED
CHAPTER XII.
Yes, Robert was entirely alone
on the island.
Unless you count the fiddler
crabs and the mosquitoes.
Robert was overjoyed at it. "Now
this is something like the books,"
he murmured. "I will live here de
lightfully a few months, like Robin
son Crusoe, and finally get back to
civilization with a story to tell."
To begin the romantic existence
of a marooned pirate he brought
but a fishing line and began fish
ing.
At that moment a man sailed up
in a catboat and hailed him indig
nantly.
"Hey, you! What yer doing here
on this island? Don't you know it's
posted? You get right off the prop
erty of the Mobile Merry Bachelors'
Fishing club. Beat it!"
Robert was inexpressibly shocked
at such a harsh reception, which
contrasted strongly with the hos
pitable treatment he had received
at the hands of Colonel Crust and
the other pirates.
As there was no other way to get
Robert off the island, the man, who
was the camp caretaker, took Rob
ert to Mobile in his fishing boat.

A WORD FROM JOSH WISE.
""People who borrer

They have a hale old gentleman
of 102 in New York who still uses
whisky and clgarets.
However, if it's an endurance
test, the betting is still 1000 to 1
on the whisky and cigarets.
Where, where will be the birds that

Why, like today, they'll mistly be
On women's hats, by gum.
It may be his fa'e that, cocktails
will make Fairbanks famous.
Perhaps they weren't really
served at his dinner at all. Perhaps
it was only frozen punch.
In one way the gelid gentleman
from Indiana is to be commended
for making it a dinner campaign.
It will not cause half the distress
a 5-cent cigar campaign would
cause.
Poor Old EueretU»No. 4
Mobile wasn't far away, either.
There Robert was astonish, to
see the Baby Mine in port. But
Robert did not want any more of
the Baby Mine.
"Show me the way to the depot,"
our hero wailed. "I want to so
home."
"One of them hacks will take you
there," the surly watchman said.
"Ken, sir?" If was Colonel
Crust who spoke. But Robert was
entirely through being surprised. As
in a trance he entered the pit ife's
ramshackle vehicle and was d iven
to the railway station.
"Five dollars, please," Co cfnel
Crust announced, holding out 'his
hand, a fiendish smile lighting.■■up
his grim features. Robert ga 'c iff
to him. How can you beat ack
man! i
"What's the answer?" Robert
asked plaintively. J
"I've reformed," said CWonel
Crust. "I've sold the ship. The
Ter ro r-of -1 he- S pan ish -M am game
isn't good any longer. This 4'as it

And Robert agreed with hrm, re
luctantly.

That Michigan educator who de

worse than dueling" might just as
well make up his mind never to

TURN DOWN
MR. DROWN
Councilman L. C. Brown, the
butcher, met with a frost from the
other councilmen last night when
he wanted his proposed ordinance
annuling the meat inspector or
dinance taken up and passed. They
wouldn't budge. Brown, as a butch
er, by his proposed ordinance, is
merely trying to get back at Otto
Bittrick, meat inspector, by doing
away with his office By making a
common sanitary inspector of Bit
trick meat inspection would be a
dead letter and Bittrick woWd re
ceive a salary of $85 a # month in
stead of the $110 he now receives
under the ordinance creating a
special meat inspector.
Brown has been the butchers'
representative In the council in
working against the present meat
inspection. The old law providing
that poisonous preservatives or
coloring matter should not be used,
and only saltpetre should be used,
was knocked out by the courts that
decided saltpetre was pot the only
non-poisonous preservative. Bit
trick has been working under an
other ordinance and has promised
to get busy with the butchers.
Butcher Brown is after him.

The Daily Short Story
A WESTEBir LOCHIHTAX
By 3. Culllns.
When young Loehinvar came out
of the went he wasn't the last of Ills
kind.
In Oregon there lived a young girl
with her 3 strapping brothers and
her mother and father. In this fam
ily the daughter, Margaret Black,
was regarded as the idol —also the
slave. Bhe was to be worshiped so
long as she obeyed. When she
wanted to disobey, then she was to
be ruled.
One day Margaret happened to
walk farther away from home than
usual and got lost. In this predica
ment she was fou»d by a young man
who carried a rifle under his arm. He
was not lost. He smiled when the
girl confessed tb%t she was. Of
course he had to take her home.
Then they both laughed and the
work was done.
"I'm Edgar Roy," he said. " live
within 10 miles of you." To walk
10 miles out of your way just to
see that a lest girl finds her way
home is nothing—in Oregon. They
do worse things than that.
But, here began the story. After
that Margaret's disobedience com
menced. When the 3 large brothers
and the father discovered this they
found that they did not like young
Roy and discovered all manner of
reasons why he would not do. They
communicated these reasons tn Mar
garet. Finally tlie family brought
matters to a crisis by locking Mar
garet In her room.
Roy at last found out that Mar
garet was a prisoner. He also learn
ed that he was the cause of It—and
he Imagined some, too. Being a
young man of decided convictions he
acted promptly.
He went to the nearest town and
secured a minister and a marriage
license, took his gun and set out
for the Black home.
Roy and the clergyman walked up
to the house and knocked on the)
door. The oldest brother threw It ,
open, revealing the whole family J
seated at the table. Margaret had
been allowed out of her room to eat '
dinner and she had been sitting si- '
lently, refusing to discuss her love 1
affairs with her hi others. |
Before 1 could move Roy had his
rifle In position where It could be
useed rapidly and affectively. I
"Just stand where you are, !
please," he said. "Mr. Black, will !
you sit down again. Margaret, come
out doors a minute?
"I Just wanted a moment's talk
with Margaret. I heard she was ]
keeping the house bo I had to come '
here to see her. I understand that j
you were looking for me, so I j
thought I would avoid trouble.
"Margaret, I Just wanted to ask you
If you would marry me?"
"Yes," snld the disobedient Mar
garet. "I won't be a prisoner any
longer. I won't stay in this house."

"Then If your brothers and fath
er will Just step outside," said Roy,
and he pointed the rifle toward each
In succession. In certain parts of
the west a gun play means business
und not a bluff. So the 3 brothers
and the father came outside.
"Now, If you will just move about
50 feet away," said Roy, and they
moved.
The minister had been standing
through this proceeding, a rather
startled man, but one who was be
ginning to see the part he was to
play.
1 I secured a license before I spoke
to you," said Roy to the minister.
"Here it is. Now marry us."
Margaret came out of the house
nnd took Roy's hand. He used the
other to keep the rifle pointed in
the direction of tlie "witnesses."
