RETURNS
FROM BORDER

The First Oregon Cavalry, on a
special train Of eight coaches, passed
through Morgan City this morning
en- route to New Orleans, where
they will be transferred on the
Queen and Crescent Route TO North
Carolina. The soldiers are return
ing from the Mexican border and
were in splendid physical condition
and in the best 81 spirits.
The baggage coach Of the Military
Special had been commandered by
the troopers and converted into a
kitchen. Camp cooks were busily
stirring pots and rolling dough over
the collapsible iron stove that they
had set up in one end of the car
and, from the hungry appearances
of the men, the Chef, stout
good natured little Oregonian, was
the most popular member Of the
command.
According to Sergeant Stills, the
Border life has been ideal from a
military viewpoint. The men have
been conditioned and are as fit as
veterans for the battlefields of Eu-
rope.

GOVERNOR PLEASANT
URGES IMPORTANCE
OF SCHOOL ATTEN-
DANCE

Governor Pleasant today issued
the following statement which is be-
ing issued by the Governor in con-
nection with the work he is doing
for the State Council Of Defense, of
which he is chairman:
''In view Of the many temptations
to parents to keep children out OF
school and college during the coming
school year and while the war con-
tinues, and the many unusual diff
culties which must be overcome in
order that there may be no lowering
of standards Of efficiency in the
schools, and because Of the impor-
lance to the nation that both eff
ficiency and attendance be main
tanned, and increased, if possible, I
strongly urge that every parent in
this State make every possible ef-
fort to send all of their children to
school. We must not neglect this
most important object Of civilization
and Of government, however heavy
may be the hand Of war upon our
time, our energies, and our financial
resources. If our great democ-
facy shall endure, every child citi-
zen must be educated"
JOHN MARSHALL,
] Secretary.

WHERE ARE THE
SOCIALISTS GOING?
By John Erskine.
Of The Vigilantes.

Why have so many Of the socialists
IN the United States deserted theil
socialistic ideas? For years they
have preached the doctrine of col
lective society, not always with sue
cess, but always, as we thought, with
sincerity. Now that the war has
brought home, even to conservative
minds the advantages of their the.
cries, loyal citizens everywhere see
that the country must act as state
not as a collection of individuals;
they see also what may prove more
important mission, that even when
peace returns, the country must
think and act as state for the good
Of the whole community. In the in
terest of the state, manufacturers
and farmers now submit to govern
jment control of their pursuits, the
hpusekeper and the grocer submit to
q government clerk of the sonsump-
sumption Of food; and men and wo-
men accept government direction as
to what military or other service they
should undertake. At such moment
it would be the most natural thing
in the world for the sincere socia-
list to encourage these dispositions
toward a fuller idea Of. statehood,
and to make these dispositions per-
mancnt after the war.
But are the socialists encouraging
these symptoms Of growing state?
Some Of them are but they first re-
sign from the socialist party. And
doubtless some Of them are encour-
aging these symptoms while still re-
manning in the socialist party. But
the socialist Of whom we hear most
nowadays is primarily opposed to q
war with Germany, and in order to
make his opposition effective he is
sacrificing even his socialism-he is
behaving frankly as an anarchist.
He knows that if war must be waged
il is most effectively waged under
the system Of universal service; but
since he could not prevent this war,
he seems to be doing what he can
to see that we do not wage it effec-
lively. He knows that cooperation
between labor and capital, between
railroads and the government, be-
tween food producers and food con-
sumers is sign Of increased eff
cheney in the state; therefore he re-
fuses his aid to any such social
minded progress.
If he no longer is loyal to his
own ideals, to what or to whom is
he loyal?

Mainly thru the efforts of Secre
tary John M. O'Kane, of the Ottawa
Business Mems association a third
factory to be obtained within a few
months has been landed for the city
OF Ottawa. d. c. Lamb, of Kansas
City, Mo-. manufacturer of cord
adjusters and electric lamps and elec-
trical specialties was in Ottawa this
morning and signed contract for a
lease on a portion Of the factory now
occupied by the Ottawa pianaphone
Co., recent purchasers of the Western
Cottage Organ & Piano factory.
Mr.. Lamb was formerly connected
with the firm of Lamb & Green, Of
Nappanee, Indiana, and has a wide
experience in the manufacture of
electrical goods. He expects to move
to Ottawa with his family in the very
near future. 1t may be two months.
however, before the plant will be in
full running order but the work of
installing machinery will begin with.
IN the next two or three weeks. He
Will start his factory with small
force and will gradually increase as
the business warrants. He Will bring
some Of his former employees, the
heads of departments, with him
When interviewed by a reporter
this morning Mr.. Lamb talked rather
modestly concerning his plant He
did not ask for bonus to come to
Ottawa, but simply wanted place
where he could manufacture his
goods One of the specialties Of the
company is the manufacture of large
lamps with silk shades. Mr.. Lamb
rejected several possible sites be.
cause they were not clean enough for
this kind Of work.
The Ottawa Pianophone Co., will
provide him with an Office within
their factory and the officers have
contracted to give him a large amount
Of floor space.
The factory when in full running
Will probably employ about thirty.five |
or forty men, the majority of whom
will be skilled workmen making good
wages.
Secretary John O'Kane deserves a
great deal of credit for landing the
new company. For the past three
days he showed Mr.. Lamb every por.
ton OF the town. introducing him to
Ottawa business men and visiting
possible sites
Within the last three months, three
factories, the Gent Motor Co., the OF.
tawa Pianophonc Co., and the Lamb
Electrical Co., have been located for
Ottawa. Deals are pending for two
more factories, one being the manu-.
facturc OF a cleanser and the other
