Have The Home Guards Made a Fluke
or a funk

whats the matter with the home
guards7" We have been asked this
question number OF times the past
week. Six weeks ago the home guard
movement started out with the promise
OF a permanent organization. Some
fifty, or more. signed up and the first
week or two the twice-a-week drills
were attended with commendable
regularity. More recently, however,
there has been a falling. of in the
attendance at drills and last week not
enough turned out to make respect
able showing and the drills were
abandoned. Other towns are keeping
up their drills. Peshastin, with not
one-fourth the population has a we'll or
gained company Of home guards that
meet regularly e. e. d,iiis werstchee
has three companies and they have
progressed lar enough In military or
ganisation and understanding Of the
duties Of a soldier to entitle them to
receive guns and, we are told, have
made application for them. We do not
want to be held up before the world as
lot OF slackers-unpatriotic and lack
ing the energy to show that we are
willing to do our part. Leavenworth is
setting a poor example to the growing
youth. The older men can set forceful
example to the boys by showing how
soldiers are trained and willingness to
devote enough time to receive the
rudiments Of military training. Get
busy tonight. Go to the headquarters
and spend an hour at drill.

Gaquers and Padflsts Re
Ceiyed a Loft tuesday.

1t was quite generally predicted that
there would be trouble on regis
tration day. Serious trouble. Some even
suspected that registration day would
prove a farce. Now that il is over and
more men registered than were counted
on the calamity claquers are put to
shame. With the exception of Butte,
Montana. where some foreigners
started riot there was less disorder
than at a general election. Here and
there, the country over. some foolish
pacifists started trouble which was
quickly suppressed by the prompt arrest
Of the offender. So ,horoly in favor Of
registration were the people that those
opposed were overaweG and dared not
make the demonstration they contem-
plated. The public quite generally
realized that there was little danger in
men that had not the courage to de-
fend their country in time Of peril. A
man that has the courage to fight is
almost sure to be patriotic. The man
who will not take up arms in defense OF
his home is almost invariably poltroon.
Courage is almost usually linked with
love OF home and the nerve to defend
it against all corners. The Butte mob
was composed principally Of foreigners
who have no conception Of love Of
country. Where they come from the
government was looked on as their
enemy. The children of foreigners,
Learning our language almost invariably
become good, patriotic citizens if I'M
contaminated by the rantings Of the I.
w. WIS and their like.
The registration seems to have ex-
ceeded the expectations Of those in
charge. The directors were overawed
by the prompt and unqualified notice
Of the government that the law would
be enforced. More OF this kind Of
backbone in the beginning Of the war
might have avoided the necessity of
our getting into it.

It Is Economically Wrong To Destroy
ANYTHING

He who wilfully destroys anything
useful to mankind, and It does not
matter what it consists of so long as
it is something that enters into human
consumption, is guilty Of doing an in
jury to mankind. This is proposition
that is nconnoyertable. The man who
sets fire to his neighbors haystacki is
injuring himself. The man, who in
the hope Of securing higher wages, de-
stroys his employers machinery is in
juring himself.
Sabotage, advocated by the I. w.
WIS which means destroying the en-
ployers machinery and material with
the purpose Of compelling him to in
crease wages; destroying the farmers
grain at threshing time by putting fric-
ton matches in the grain, to punish
him for not paying the wages demanded,
is one CT the best illustrations OF the
economic error Of destroying property
to gain an end.
The wanton destruction by the Ger
mans OF property that has no military
value accounts in large measure
for the fact that the whole world is ar
rayed, either actively or morally. against
them. It is because the world realizes
that for them to win would give pres
tige to their mons,rous theories. Be-
cause the world sbhors their theory oil
force-that the power to do given
thing makes it right--the world has
determined to subdue Germany. The
German doctrine Of force is a menace
to the welfare and progress Of mankind

Army fnIistees Will Not Lose
Rights in National Forest

Notice from the Office Of the district
forester under date of June l is of
interest to users OF the national forest
who have under consideration enlisting
in the army.
Oregon and Washington stock grow
ers having National Forest grazing pre-
ferences who enlist in the army or navy
will NOT lose these preferences during
the period OF their enlistment, even
though they do not use the range, is
the announcement OF District Forester
George H. Cecil, Portland, Oregon.
In order to hold their preferences they
must simply file statement similar to
that now required Of State and Federal
employees who wish to discontinue use
OF the range during their term Of
service without losing their preference.
Use Of the range in their absence will
be provided for by issuing temporary
permits to others, with the under
standing that the privilege Of use
terminates when the former permittee
returns. Preference privileges tenn
porariIy surrendered are subject to any
general changes affecting range use
which may be made during the absence
Of the holders.
