Grant said. Let US have peace" But
there are a few Of the comrades still
left who remember that bright, sun
shiny day at Appomattox Court House,
when the two generals, flanked by 9th

into the historic Mclean house and
arranged the terms Of the surrender

N6EKE has not IN unS WOrlQ 5 history
~ been SO splendid and continuing a
testimonial Of a nations gratitude as
the United States has paid to its citizen
soldiers; but it has not measured up TO their
deserx The last and most impressive Of all
tributes is that which comes from the heart,
bespoken by the fatering voice. the moisen>
ing eye, the quickening pulse. 1t is the
human testimony to the fact that as a nation
we have not folgot-the pledge. on this
privileged day of glorious anniversary, that
we will never forget-the promise that the
future shall bring forth 0 n and daughters
capable and willing to sustain with equal
sacrifices the structure of human liberty and
national security that these veterans raised.
Looking upon the spectacle. the nation will
be moved to renew its assurance that after
all, there are things in this world worth
fighting for, even dying for; that there are
worse fates than to give ones life for a
cause worthy the giving. There will be a
new and resolute determination that if need
shall come, as come it may, this nation
again will rise to its obligation and its duty,
inspired BY the example Of these men
who preserved for US the institutions that
have been made sacred BY their sacrifices,

FIRE THIS TEACHER.

Information has come to us that there is a
school teacher in this county who is not only not
supporting the government in the present war but
is actively espousing the cause of it's enemies by
attacking the Liberty Loan, for one thing, by at
lacking the government for entering the war and
by urging the people of his community to with
hold their support.
Such man, an employee of the government, an
instructor Of its youth, ought to be fred on the
spot. If the district school board won't do it, the
county superintendent ought to do it, and if he
won't do it, the people of the county ought to
make it so hot for that teacher he will pack up
and leave. Times like these are not occasions
when such people should have the effrontery to
make their living off the government in the first
place or to accept any kind Of employment from
it if they cannot honestly support it and certainly
these not times when such people should oc-
cupy positions of official influence in a commu-
nifty, and particularly positions which enable
them to spread their nefarious, dsloyal doctrines
among the school children
The people of the community involved in this
case can handle this situation themselves, if they
will. For their own pride as loyal American cit
zens they ought to do it. For the sake of their
country, their community, their boys who have
gone will 60 to the front, they certainly will
do it.
And the only thing to do of course is to make

THE GENERAL LABOR SITUATION.

All sorts of explanations and all sorts of reasons
are advanced for the present general unrest in the
labor situation, particularly here on the Pacific
coast and all sorts of remedies or ways Of handling
it are proposed There is some truth, some value
in all of them, but matters progress it becomes
increasingly evident that some powerful third
party, preferably the government as the one most
interested, must take charge of the situation and
mold it to it's greatest effectiveness England had
to do it to whip affairs into line and we will have
to follow suit, for there is good deal Of devil
ment mixed up in it on both sides and only some
powerful agency like the government can step IN
and tell each party to the controversies "where
to head in at
The success Of this mode of procedure is no
better illustrated than in the settlements achieved
in the Pacific coast shipbuilding strikes as the
wage adjustment board proceeded from section to
section. Here is federal commission which has
no authority other than that of conciliatory or
adjustment nature, it's name says, but it effect
ed temporary agreements in each place whereby
the strikers went back to work and both parties
agreed to accept its final decision. That was the
in Seattle then in Portland and finally in San
Francisco
There is but short step further to the point
where the government will intervene at the first
rumble of controversy and decide it before it
reaches the climax of strike. 1t probably will
not be long before that step is taken The indus
trial situation has got to be put upon more set
tied basis.
