POLITICS AFTER THE WAR

ia OW will the outcome of
~ the war affect American
politics? Will it leave
the democratic party in power
for many years as the civil
war gave power to the repub-
lican party? There are many
who can see drift in this di-
rection. Since the whole world
is battling with Germany for
democracv what more natural
than for the American people
to place their faith in the party
of jefferson and Wilson, par
ticularly when they find that
party capable of intelligent,
courageous and efficient lead
ership.
At any rate the subject is an
interesting one and is causing
some discussion. A New York
writer touching on the topic
says:
American business today faces in
nunerab Bile uncertainties owing to the
revolutionary methods evolved by the
war. American politics are equally
in a state Of flux. Many old issues
have completely disa ppeared. and not
a few ones viii do likewise when
peace comes: so that no one can tell
what the final outcome Will be ex-

ward the characterization Of industrs.

FROM THE MELTING POT

| n Asst evening two men o,

along with many other!
searched the East Oregonian
bulletin board to see if their
numbers appeared on the draft
list for either the first or sec
ond drafts. They had previ-
ously wired to Boise, where
they had registered. to secure
their draft numbers so as to be
sure whether or not the call
had reached them.
These men in good faith de-
sired to make ready to perform
their duty by their adopted
country, even to the sacrifice
of their lives if necessary. 1t
is the spirit manifested by vir-
tually all of the men who
have scanned the draft lists
since they were made known.
The spirit is as manifest among
foreign born as among Amer
lean born. The foreign born
have been in the melting pot
and it has turned them out
loyal Americans.
The men of European birth
know the blessings of life in
this republic with its equal po-
Iitical privileges and opportun-
tiles open to all irrespective of |
caste. They know our nation |
IS worth fighting for-better |

lived in America-and accept |

RUSSIA INTENDS
TO STICK TO GUNS
Little Likelihood Of Separate
Peace, Says Boynton

New York, July 1S.-Russia, as
now constituted. Is as little likely to
make separate peace as is the Unit
ed States. in the opinion of c. II.
Boynton, of New York, president OF
the American Russian Chamber or
Commerce. Mr.. Boynton who is now
in Petrograd. has forwarded to the
organization, Of which he is pres
ident, statement on the conditions
In Russia, in which he presents an
optimistic view of the Russian out
look. Wherever separate peace has
been mentioned, it has been howled
down with indignation, he writes.
Efforts made by the Russian extrem-
lists to create disorders have been
overthrown not by armed force but
by the force of public opinion. eff
in the future appearances in Russia
should seem alarming" Mr.. Boynton
in the hands Of ministry composed
Of the best Russia can OFFER" He
predicted that the task Of re-organ-
izing the governments policies will
be accomplished before many months.
Industrial operations, according to
Mr.. Boynton, would at present meet
the requirements Of the war; but he
declared that American capital and
merchants interested in the Russian
field, should lose no time in preparing
and equipping themselves for the
huge commercial business which. In
his opinion. is certain to be co-inci-
dent with the end Of the war. Mr..
Boynton's statement follows:
Turn Came Quickly.
That one may have fair and
just appreciation of the events which
have taken and are yet to take place
in Russia, it is necessary to under
stand the psychology of the situation.
A nation under a rule of absolute au-
tocracy for centuries suddenly found
itself an absolute democracy. AL
most over night autocratic Russia be-
came the smost liberal democracy In
the world. Liberty, freedom and
equality were proclaimed and polit-
ical exiles and agitators were admit
ted within her borders from wher-
ever arriving. A nation that had not
dared to express it's individual feel
ings or opinions, either In writing or
in speech, was released from ali re-
straint. Years Of repressed ideas and
sentiments were able to find full vent.
The government has allowed every
phase of political discussion, and even
that of such an extremist as Lenin
to proceed without Interference and
refused every suggestion Of repres-
sion. If under these. circumstances
there should be bable of conflicting
opinions and some fanatic agitation.
1t is not only understandable. but in
deed quite natural. The wisdom Of
the policy Of permitting unrestricted
assem- blage and discussion was evil
denced in the quick stamping out Of
anarchistic preaching by the power OF
public opinion.
This was not planned nor even
organized revolution. 1t was a spon-
taneous outburst OF dissatisfaction
and resentment against existing rule
SO unanimous that an empire be-
came a democracy with the least

 Are the American people going to let the rest of a liberty loving world struggle and suffer for us and eventually be stricken down, taking | with them in their fall the only bar rier that now stands between the Germans and ourselves? These are not speculations, they are facts. Un- less we in America wake up, unless our minds take fire with the inspira- tion for service, unless we open our pocket-books and our hearts, then mark my words, there may be a German Governor-General in Juneau.
 We have profited perforce from the sacrifices and sufferings of our brave Allies. We have become the market place of the world. The war has sent great riches, great pros perity to our country. Nearly three years of this prosperity and security have been vouchsafed to the Ameri- can people.
 Now, at once, immediately, there is need for action with all of our re- sources of men and money and sym pathy-and the last is scarcely less important than the first and second. What are we going to do? It is up to the American people.
