BoNIBARDNG THE PRESS

Editorial sanctums are subjected
nowadays to an overwhelming fu
sillade; verbose volleys of big shell
little shell, cannon balls, hand gre
nades and rifle bullets are poured
in upon the country press until its
editors are smothered.
The national government has
many departments. and every de-
partment has many sub depart
ments, and every department and
sub department has its literary rep
notwithstanding the lines of
Lowell:
Great feas have little feas
Upon their backs to bite'em;
And little feas have lesser fieas,
And so on ad infinitum.
One and all of these literary rep
resentatives fire their documents
long documents and short docu-
mcnts-at the newspaper offices, to-
gether with admonitory remarks
concerning the pressing necessity Of
publication.
But this is not all.
The state likewise has its de-
partments, sub departments and
their representatives, and each one
of these runs literary mill for the
manufacture of missiles to be shot
at Fort Newspaper.
Nor is this yet all.
There are private organizations
ad infinitum, all Of them trying TO
act as much like the official variety
as possible. There are those who
arc for peace at any price includ-
ing dishonor-and those who appar-
emily do not know what they are
for, but are for it anyhow. And
all of them turn out literature
which it is most important TO have
published right away.
If The country editor did all that
Jther people think is his duty, he
would have to publish a magazine
Of sixty pages.
Generally, however, he uses the
tuff for kindling, and contrives to
10 his bit in his own poor way.

Democracy Can Be
Made Safe by Giving
Every Man His
Fair Share
By Colonel THEODORE ROOSEVELT

pY StssANA ~aN~ ~ -
T REMEMBER reading about a
/ year ago, while wo were still
neutral - the neutrality that
pontlus Plate might have euvled--
reading from Reyentlow and ono or
two others the fact that they i'll
tended that the Uuitcd States
should pay the expense of this war.
We are lighting for America, NO
are fighting for our own liberty, for
our own lights, and while We want
to help in every way with railroad
experts, with the Red Cross, with
food, with cargo ships, with moncy,
We want TO put our own fighting
men into the line, OR WE WILL
NOT DESERVE TO RAN X
AMONG FREE MEN WHEN THE
WAR Is ENDED.
II is .hc man with sword girt on
thigh that ultimately must win the
respect Of mankind. Let him meyer
draw It in fou' cause or undcscrN-
cdIy against ihr weak. out he is BE-
meath contempt il he hesltatcs TO
draw it against the strong when the
strong may wrong him.
Minimize the chances Of war by
minimizing the injustices which
must be overcome. And let me say
also that, having done that, it re-
mains for us 10 make democracy
safe in our own country.
WE CAN MAKE DEMOCRACY
SAFE IN THIS COUNTRY ONLY BY
GOING FORWARD so FAR IN THE
DIRECTION or RADIcALIsm AS TO
REMOVE ALL JUST COMPLAINTS
OF THE MAN WHO HAS NOT HAD
HIS FAIR SHARE or THE GOOD
THINGS OF THIS LIFE.

The Oregon Voter arises to re-
mark that "Ou basis Of non de-

sixteen ounce loaf Of bread could
be retaiIed in Portland for seven

three cents in waste ON account Of
bad credits, stale bread returns and
an expensive delivery system. II is
