The Republic Journal has changed

The Republic Journal has changed
hands. Alex A. Anderson, who moved
the Journal from Orient to Republic
several years ago, has sold the plant
to Elmer D. Hall, an old and eXper-
fenced newspaper publisher and prac-
teal printer. Mr.. Hall has installed a
Margenthaler and already greatly i'm
proved the Journal. The new push on
the Journal is a wideawake, enterpris-
ing journalist, familiar with the field
in which he has cast his lot, and will
give the people of Republic live pa
per. Republic is fortunate in having
two good papers, the Journal and the
News-Miner, both conducted by men
who are a credit to the profession.

Russia appears to be in state of
chaos and for the present can hardly
be expected to cut any great figure in
the world war. 1t is difficult for the
people of that distracted country, so
long subjected to an autocracy, to gov
ern themselves. There is much fac
tional division, too many who desire
to grasp power, with development of
jealousy, envy and hatred among those
who would be leaders. 1t is no more
than could have been expected as the
result of a revolution that changed
the order of government that prevail
ed for centuries.

Last week the first member of the
American army contingent that went
to France some time ago was killed.
The victim was lieutenant from Kan
sas, and he met his death when the
Germans carried on their damnable
practice Of bombing hospitals. Ger
mans halt at no atrocity. They kill
women, children, sick and wounded
with heartless indiscrimination, and
yet, in the face of such unheard of
brutality there are few people in
this country who still sympathize with
Germany as against the country in
which they live. When this nation COM

The Washington National Guard
that was slated to go into training at
Palo Alto, Cal, have been switched to
environments at Charlotte, North Car
DINA. The fine Italian hand of shrewd
politicians can be seen in this change
Of plans. In the meantime the Second
Washington has its headquarters at
the armory in Seattle, the members
are scattered about Seattle and the
surrounding country doing guard duty
and chatting under the uncertainty of
their situation. 1t was expected by the
regiment that 1t would move east last
week. but up to the present writing no
orders for transportation have been re-
ceived. The boys are anxious to go
east, as the movement is considered
preliminary to being sent to France
and active service, and the regiment is
made up of material eager for action.

The government has taken the right
step to stamp out /. w. Wism and
kindred disloyal organizations. but the
patriotic people demand that the gov
eminent go still further and muzzle
the La Follettes, the Dills, and others
of that ilk drawing salaries while in
federal office. If disloyalty is dishonor-
able and menace in the I. w. W., It
is far more dishonorable and menacing
in those holding responsible positions
under the government. There are trait
ors living at the expense of the govern
ment, and those traitors should be
suppressed without mercy. The faith
ers and mothers Of the land who are
offering their sons that the govern
ment may continue to exist, protest
against having those boys stabbed in
the back while they are barring their
their breasts to the foe. A drum head
trial and a firing squad for few of
those in high positions would have
more of salutary effect in stamping
out sedition than the suppression of
obscure opponents to CONSUMPTION and
those cranks who preach dishonOrable
peace.

has never been collected together.

The sight of those manly young men
animated by patriotism that knows

pride Of every American citizen, to
make the blood in ones veins flow

now feel that no circumstance can
possibly arise to change that senti-

ed that intention by closing deals for
the claims inspected. During the past
week there have been number Of
mining men in Oroville with the object
of investigating, and If the indications
justified, buying or bonding claims.
From the fact that in about every In
stance these men were pleasantly
surprised at the showing on the prop
critics coming under their observation,
it is evident that the old timers were
about correct in their insistence that
the mineral is here only awaiting The
proper application Of energy for its
extraction. This movement in ming
will be great aid in the upbuilding
of Oroville. This is the logical head
quarters for all operators in radius
of many miles. Activity in development
means the circulation Of much money
and If paying mines follow the receipts
therefrom will be a factor in town
building. Nothing promotes business
more than mining activity, and few
paying mines in this immediate vicini-
ty would make Oroville one of the
liveliest and best towns in the west.
Too many real mining men cannot get
a foothold in this country to suit us.

1t has been suggested that those who
entertain conscientious scruples'
against army service should be disfran-

ment to slackers and others without
legitimate excuse who shirk service?
If those people do not consider the
country worth defending surely they
should not enjoy the privileges of cit
izenship. By enactment make all such
shirkers aliens, with no other rights
than those granted unnaturalized for
eign born residents. No man who re-
fuses to do his part when the country
is in danger could object if his citi-
zenship is removed. Give those called
to the colors the right to make the
choice between service and the sur
render of citizenship. Fewer would ask
exemptions from draft under such
circumstances.

State Board of Health Makes Ap-
peal for Red Cross Seals,

Addressed to the people of Oregon
the State Board of Health has issued
an appeal for support of the Red
Cross Christmas Seal sale. The pro-
ceeds are to be used in aid of men
rejected for military service because
Of tuberculosis, in Oregon. The sale
will be conducted by the Oregon AS.
sociation for the Prevention of Tuber.
culosis. The appeal of the State
Boarad Of Health reads as follows:
To the People Of Oregon:
War gives new Importance to the
work Of the Oregon Association for
the Prevention of tuberculosis.
Numbers of men who apply for en-
listment are rejected because of tu-
berculosis. Others contract the dis
ease in service and must be returned
to their homes. In either instance
these men must be cared for. Any
other course would be inhumane. 1t
would be uneconomic. The Oregon
State Board of Health desires most
earnestly to commend the Oregon AS
sociation for the Prevention ofTuber-
culosis to the support of the people
Of Oregon in performing this service.
The association is admirably equip
ped. In cooperation with the State
Board Of Health names and addresses
Of men rejected for military service
because of tuberculosis will be secu
red. Each will be followed to his
home. Nurses especially trained In
Public Health work will give him and
and his family instructions to aid in
preventing the spread of infection
and to add to- his chance Of overcom-
ing the disease. Where necessary,
sanatarium care will be. arranged;
supplies and suitable food will be fur
nished. This work can only be done
If the Red Cross Christmas Seal sale
conducted by the association is sue
cess and adequate funds to meet nee
essary expense are secured. Such a
necessity was not anticipated by the
! last legislature and the state has no
appropriation for the purpose. The
total amount needed Is 100000.
This will necessitate the sale Of l.
/ 100000 seals at one cent each. Let
the generous people of this state buy
literally and every penny will do dou-
BILE duty n caving life and preventing
the destructive spread in Oregon of
this dread disease
