SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM PREVAILS

Of all the silly talk far INDUCED in concerning the
war; that stating there is scarcity OF labor in the VIII
lamette valley due to the enlistment Of few hundred
men, is by far the sillest Willamette University
furnished 81 of the recruits from this section and the
stories from other college towns show the boys from the
colleges furnished large portion Of those ensting
There has been an enlistment of between 600 and 800
the Third regiment and the larger portion Of these came
from the cities and towns. At the most not more than
200 of those ensting from the FARMS and perhaps
far less than that were whom farmers depended
for handling their work When army OF two million
is raised if it is raised OregonS quota would be about
$4,000 That might cause shortage OF farm labor
but it does the work will be taken of There Will
be plenty of men too old otherwise disqualified Tor
active service who will to it that the crops are taken
care of even if their business in the towns has to be
neglected When we go into this are going into
If to say until what we have started to accomplish is
done and that means that any and every sacrifice neces
sary will be made Those who from age or other dis
qualifications cannot go to the front will put in few
hours extra daily and raise bisers on hands unaccus-
toned to manual labor in order to see that those who car

No man or woman is too old to be patriotic or too weak

A DAY FILLED WITH RUMoRS

The Capital Journal called up on the phone many
times yesterday regarding rmors that Company was
to pass through the city, The first that it
would go through about ten o'clock. This followed
by another that it was early in the afternoon the way
from Portland and would pass Salem about three o'clock
This backed up with the statement that of the
boys of the company had phoned friend here and would
phone him when the company reached Woodbum. Of
course the Capital Journal knew nothing to what
Company was doing or was to do Under orders from
the War Department it is forbidden to make public any
to the movement Of troops at least until the
accomplished and it is not at all probable
anyone will know anything to the movement of the
troops, Company M, or any other One of the rumors
elaborate to detail part of which was that the
Third Oregon its way to the Philippines to relieve
the regulars there who would be sent home the
Third arrived and would then be sent at TO France
II fair presume under orders from the department
that when the troops move no will know where they
are going or when. The telegraph companies will not
carry messages concerning their departure will the
members of the regiment be allowed to phone anything
they may know to anyone, though they will probably
know little to where they going anyone ese

PASSOVER FEAST

To the Editor: Friday evening, the
9th of April, at seven p. M, Jews the
world over, where circumstances will
permit, will celebrate the first night
of the Passover Feast
What a strange historical tale, al
most fairy tale, lies behind this feast.
Almost four thousand years ago, our
Lord sent Moses and with him his
brother Aaron to Egypt to Gberatc the
Jews in bondage there. Our Lord
hardened the heart of Pharaoh their
king and he refused The Lord inflict-
ed the most severe punishment upon
Pharaoh and his people, namely, the
Ten Plaques. Then and only then by g
very clever ruse was Moses successful
to get the chosen people out Of Egypt.
Pharaoh seeing how Moses had clever
ly tricked him, became enraged and
pursued with his army. How the Lord
opened a safe passage through the Red
Sea and how Pharaoh and his army
were all annihilated by that same sea,
history tells us. The Jews saw the won
dcrs their Lord had performed for
them, offered prayers and feasted that
day and the following six days after.
Through four thousand years, thru
years of hardships and sufferings un-
known and unbelievable to the pres
cnt age, thru Pogroms, massacres and
inquisitions such as to stagger the
imagination of mankind, did not wipe
out from the memory of the Chosen
People the Feast of Passover
This year we celebrate our Passover
Feast with double prayers and thanks
giving. How strange events occur on
this universe. The Jews of Russia were
freed from the tvrants of the house of
the Romanoffs during the same month
that four thousand years ago freed the
Chosen People from the tyrants of the
house Of Pharaoh. Who was our Moses
now! is this war the Ten Plaques upon
Russia or rather upon the tyrants of
the house of Romanoffs, the cruelest
tyrants of this civilized world} Who
knows? Perhaps. Our Lord in his judg-
ment is always right,
