JUNE COURT DAY.

There was but a small crowd in
the city yesterday, the farmers be,
ing busy with their crops. The ones
who came in only did SO to renew
supplies, and then hurried back
home. Stock offerings very small, a
few head of horses, mules and cattle
changing hands at fair prices. The
candidates for city and county Off
ces were busy shaking hands with
the voters. The patriotic meeting at
the court house, addressed by Judge
Charles Kerr, of Lexington, and local
speakers, the concerts by the Second
Regiment Band and the Royal Ital-
ian Band, of the Littlejohn Company,
attracted the crowd from their ordi-
nary pursuits.

ests, let the developments of
the future be what they may.
Then all should be able to
participate with enthusiasm
and good will. We are all
Americans, enjoying the bles-
sings of this republic and its
privileges. We should not
shirk its duties. To be loyal
and to manifest your fealty to
the flag at times like this does
not mean you want war, with
Germany or any other country.
Few people want war; no one
should. War is to be avoided
If we can do so with honor,
consistency and national safe
ty. But the nation cannot af-
ford peace at any price. Such
q course could easily lead to
disaster. We live in a real
world, not an imaginary one.
We must face the facts as they
are and the facts at present are
that the world is governed by
force. Therefore the nation
that wishes to stand must pre-
pare to defend its rights and
its ideals of government.
Otherwise it may perish from
the earth and civilization be
the loser. Other good nations
have fallen for this reason. /,
Since Thursday has been set
aside as patriotic day for PEN
dleton and since the Red Cross
ladies wish their evenings pro-
gram to be successful let all
join in making it such. For
once let us lay aside every diff
ference, political, commercial.
social or otherwise and show
to the world that when the ma
ton calls for its loyal sons and
daughters there are none but
such in Pendleton.
