Then the Stacker enlists, and the
subsequent scenes are so full of
pathos and patriotism that one Won

exist. The story cannot be told in a
limited space like this. But it is
enough to say that "The Stacker" is
screen drama that grips, thrills and
enthralls. 1t is one of those happy
compositions one can't get away
from. 1t moves whole audiences to
real sobbing tears, and its emotion

art can so affect the human heart. But
it does, and "The Stacker" is worth
it's weight in gold to the country.
No one should miss it. 1t should be
shown everywhere Nothing so in
tense or more powerful has been pre-
sented since the war started. AS an
incentive to the patriotic spirit it is
overwhelming.

America is Waking Up.

They used to sing and shout, wake
Up, America" and there was cause,
too. We slumbered peacefully while
the world was ablaze, and took no
heed of the traitors who cursed our
President, tore down and desecrated
and praised our enemy, Germany, in
and out of season.
Blinded by the tenuous subterfurge
of clubbing pro-Kaiser societies
Peace and Democracy organiza-
tons we allowed pure-bred Huns to
shout their attacks against civilizaA
ton in our streets without check.
But we are shaking off our lethar
gy. Our boys are in France, and
some of them will soon lie dead in
battle-felds in the fight against leu
tonic horror and Hohenzollern world
dominion.
So, when Louis Lochner and his
sadly misnamed Peoples Council
sought to find a place for meeting,
cities and States alike rose and told
him to go on to-Germany, or some
other warm place.
Now, Lochner is out-and-out pro-
German as such Huns as George Syl-
vester Vierick, or such copperheads
as James K. Vardaman. Therefore,
he deserves no consideration. II
the citizens of Hudson, Wisconsin,
had given him ride on rail and a
coat of tar, with feathers, he would
have got his just deserts. He be-
longs in Germany, not in the United
| States.
With him are some anarchists of
the foolish, impractical kind-lacking
horse sense enough to see anything
real or practical and bellyaching
without cessation about brother
hood of man that would include Ger
man barbarians along with the civil
lized races.
They are misguided, and ought to
be confined in large, comfortable,
airy maQnOuSe.
But the point we are making is that
six months ago Lochner might have
held his meeting anywhere unmolest-
ed, and said anything he chose OF
President Wilson and the United
States. He can't now.
What he ought to do is to, keep his
mouth shut tight while the United
States is fighting, if he wants to avoid
trouble. Then, after the war is over
he can go back to his beloved Father.
land, and we'll guarantee the United
States won't miss him.
Thank Heaven, we are beginning tc
wake up. Let the good work go on

Row Roosevelt Hates Wilson.

Colonel Roosevelt is great man.
He has occupied the highest post OF
honor within the gift of man by be-
ing President of the United States.
But while Colonel Roosevelt is a
great man, he is also small man.
He made a speech the other day IN
which he criticized most saVagely the
American government in its present
endeavor to supply the country with
an army. Among other things he
said, after belittling the war accom-
plishments of the United States Gov
eminent that "after these seven
months we are still nothing like as
formidable as Belgium or Roumania.
He also said: eve have put few
anti-submarine craft into European
waters under Admiral Sims, and that
is ALL"
Criticising Colonel Roosevelt for his
un-American attitude the World
said of this speech:,
"Col. Roosevelt said what Count zu
Reventlow and all the reptile German
newspapers have been saying to the
German people The fact that it is
ridiculously untrue makes it no less
valuable to the German autocracy in
influencing public opinion. This is
what the German Government wants
the, German people to believe in hold
ing them to the idea that victory is
fl possible.
"The only explanation we can find
for such a mischievous speech ON the
part of Col. Roosevelt is that he still
hates President Wilson much worse
than he hates the Kaiser"

Edge Road Bill Complaints.

A cautious communication is pre-
scented in another column about the
Edge Road Bill. 1t will bear read
ing. Our correspondent writes very
clearly and logically on the subject,
and does not hesitate to say that the
measure is Ubiquitous as a whole
Perhaps there is sound sense in what
the writer says. On the other hand,
Governor Edge is a careful business
man, and seldom blunders in an adj
vocacy of anything that is, really
detrimental to the interests of New
Jersey. No doubt he meant well in
the Road Bill, though there is no
doubt but that it will prove very bur-
densome to a great many people at
this time. Taxes in New Jersey are
already excessive, and there should
have been some better way of building
road system than making it so hard
to carry at one time. For any kind
of public benefit of this character,
the distribution of its cost should
have been made SO that it could ex-
tend over longer period. There
should not be objection to good road
ways, for they are great makers of
wealth. But in building them, atten-
ton should have been given to the
ability of the State to pay the bills.

Quiet Before The Storm.

The interest in local politics at this
time is not as much accumulated as
it will be after the primary is over.
There is no leading state issue on,
all the interest being centered in
county and municipal affairs. In the
local borough, the two parties are
resting on their oars, but just as
soon as the primary election is over,
there is going to be enough activity
to satisfy all. The one exception to
the general rule Of election topics is
presented in the race that is being
made by Surrogate Robert A. Sib-
bald. This unique man is getting
the support of two parties, which vir-
tually insures his election. He has
essayed to assert that party politics
have no place in county affairs, and
there are many others who agree
with him, including "The Palisadian.'
Mr. Sibbald, it must be admitted by
all who have watched his picturesque
career, is a most unusual man, and
has made his Office so efficient that
anything he says goes as a general
thing.

Chickens Of State

The Southern Oregon Poultry Asso-
citation is rapidly completing arrange
ments for the Oregon State Poultry
Associations annual poultry show, to
be held in Medford during the second
week in January, beginning on Mon
day, January s. Many requests have

southern Oregon promises to make
the show a red-letter period in the
progress of the poultry industry in

score-card method used at the local
show last February. Sixty per cent
of the entry fees will be devoted to
payment of prizes; 30 per cent for
first prize, 20 per cent for second and
10 per cent for third. This also is
an innovation in the matter of award
payments.

tions standard coops for the recep-
tion of the SHOW birds. They will
est $675 and will be owned in part
by the county for use at the county

Review OF Canal
Company Work

During the year 1916 the Rogu
River Valley Canal Company ha
spent 100000 for labor and ma
terial, all this sum being put into cir
culation in the valley with the excep
tion of small amount expended fol
construction cars and rails.
The company has completed dur
ing the past year the Phoenix ditch
which carries sixty second feet of wa
ter, and has built laterals from which
1900 acres are now under irrigation
The equipment of the canal COM
pany now includes sixty miles of main
ditch, the Phoenix ditch and Hopkins
canal, and 800 miles of laterals.
These canals are built to supply wa
ter to 10000 acres of land. Five
thousand acres are already under the
ditch, 1000 of which was signed up
during the past year. The land under
irrigation is devoted to the raising
of fruit, alfalfa, beets, corn, berries
and other products.
During the past year work has
been pushed on the canal connecting
Four Mile Lake and Fish lake. This
ditch, which will carry seventy-five
second feet, is at the upper end thir-
teen feet in width at the bottom and
five feet deep. At the lower end it
is six feet wide at the bottom and
five feet deep. The ditch was half
completed during 1916 and will be
finished next season.
The canal company is the owner of
$500 acres of land, known as Rogue
lands. The tract is as fast as posi-
BILE being leyeled for irrigation and
sown to alfalfa and clover. To pas
ture on these crops the company has
purchased 1000 head of sheep.
In the leveling and cultivation of
the company lands modern methods
are in use, two powerful Holt cater,
pillar engines having displaced horses
as motive power.
The finishing of the canal between
Four Mile and Fish lakes will prob
ably be the only development work
of any Importance done by the COM
pany during 1917. Under the pres
ent method Of furnishing water right,
enough canals and laterals have been
completed to serve present needs.
Further development waits on the
adoption of the district plan
for the irrigation of the valley. Pend
ing the formation of the district, the
will devote itself to thor
ough protection of its water rights.
