Sad be it said there are bad men in
the American army, as there are bad
men in all assemblages of men. But in
the American army the bad man is a
rare exception to the rule, and when
discovered in the commission of
crime swift and sure punishment fol-
lows. Lately an American soldier was
found guilty of outraging and murder
ing French woman, and after fair
trial was summarily executed. And
that is just the difference between
the American and German way. When
Belgium and northern France were
overrun and the people thereof suf-
fered the most brutal outrages ever
committed by men pretending to be
civilized through the hands of the
German soldiery, the guilty men were
awarded with the iron cross. For a
similar crime the American soldier
was shot.

Since the house to house canvass on
food conservation, during which was
found few families that refused to
assist in feeding our boys in the SER
vice, an intensely bitter feeling has
developed among the patriotic citizens
of Oroville. We have heard it suggest
ed time and again that loyal league
be organized and drastic measures be
taken to eliminate the disloyal ele-
ment from the community, but cooler
counsel will probably prevent such a
step for the present at least. The pres
ident has declared against the use of
force. and urged patience, but the time
is coming when patience will cease to
be virtue and the presidents influ-
ence will not prevent people from
taking the law into their own hands,

against this country, or who is not
ready and willing to extend aid and
comfirt to those who are fighting
their battles. A mob Is fearful thing.
1t is unreasonable, unreasoning, mer-
CHESS. 1t is potential power for ac-
complishing rough work. We have
seen and been shocked by the wild,
vicious violence of mobs, and never

In quoting an article from this pa
per the Winthrow Banner, which al
ways rings with true loyalty, says:
by the way, the Gazette was always
strong 'standpat' republican paper,
but since the declaration of war it al
lows no paper to surpass it in loyalty
to the government" That is simply
because we are an American, and feel
that it is the duty of every man who
believes in the country standing true
to the government regardless of his
political affiliations. In our eyes it is
country first and party afterwards,
and so long as he insists upon uphold
ing the honor and the integrity of the
United States, President Wilson has
not more loyal hacker in his own
party than the "standpat" Gazette.

In anticipation of another strike,
that might prove disastrous by tieing
up the railroads at time when the
very existence of the nation is de-
pendent upon transportation, the gov
eminent may take over and operate
the railroads. If the government can
draft the lives of people there seems
no good reason why it cannot draft its
labor power, and that is about what
should be done. If man is called up
on to risk his life for 1913 per month,
there is absolutely no reason why la
Dor where needed for war service can
not be drafted and forced to work for
the same wages, especially where
there is no physical danger to the en-
fOrcement of service. If railroads are
taken over and pay trimmed down to
that of the soldier on the firing line
there would be a quick yell all along
the line for resumption of the old
order of things.

force is inevitable. Those in authority
should take warning from incidents
that have already occurred and give
the loyal people outward and visible
evidence that disloyalty is a punish
able crime. Furthermore, those who
stand for foreign enemy as against
this country should take warning in
time. Get out of the country and take
your place with the savages with
whom you sympathize, or keep your
sentiments under cover. Otherwise
there is trouble ahead, and misery for
somebody. With American blood flow
ing OH foreign soil, the true and loyal
Americans at home cannot be expected
to always remain calm, passive and
patient with the enemies in their
midst who are contributing to the
danger CT American soldiers on the
firing line.

Congressman Dill has had a change
of heart, but he had to go clear over
to the fighting lines in Europe to be
convinced. After playing into the
hands of Germany to the extent of his
ability 1t at last filtered through Dill's
paucity of brain cells that the Amer
lean people as mass are loyal to
their country. He realized that he was
| nbad. An election Is coming on
and Dill found it necessary to square
himself with the loyal people of the
Fifth district. So he makes an excuse
to go to Europe to ascertain from
first hand evidence if the nations of the
earth believing in democratic form of
government were really in earnest.
He found that men are cheerfully CIV
ing up their lives for principle, and
further discovers that his friends, the
Germans, are the most cruel, brutal
and blood thirsty people that have
ever made war. After what he has
seen and heard he is at last willing to
stand by his country to the bitter end.
He has undergone conversion, and it
is safe to say he will return home the
most rabid war advocate in the coun-
try. 1t will take more than an eleventh
hour repentance to convince people
that his change of heart has not been
somewhat stimulated by the thoughts
of coming election, and there will
always remain suspicion as to Mr..
Dills sincerity and honesty after his
attitude in congress. Elected upon the
single slogan stand by the president"
he opposed the president at a time
when every loyal heart should have
stood firmly and unwaveringly by the
sorely tried executive in the most
crucial hour of his administration.
