From the Midtown Advocate.
Some persons are so good themselves and
pure in heart CD that they can see some
thing dark, rotten or mean in every act or
motive of others, it matters not who they
are. If we had a similar nature or DISPOSE

From the Elebrton Star.
1t is stated that the price of blind tiger
whisky on the Elberton curb is ten dollars
per quart, forty dollars per gallon, with
comparatively few sales and decreasing de-

prices OF products combine to make bank

NEWSPAPER LIKE A PRETTY WOMAN

From the Lithonia Journal.
Why is newspaper like pretty woman?
To be perfect it must be the embodiment of

WHAT JACK WOULD DO.

Just between us, war poetry also is hell.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-06-11

"We are one people with one
ljob-to win the war as soon as
possible. This is going to take
every kind of effort from all of
lus. Yet everywhere and again
and again we meet little groups
who are so intent on one phase
of service that they lose sight
lof the others. The Red Cross,
the Council of National De-
Ifense, and the Food Admins
Itration are all called to serve
by the government to serve in
this world crisis, and they can
only make such service 100 per
cent effective if they stand abb
Isolutely together, doing team
work.
at is the function of the Red
Cross to serve the soldier and
sailors at the front and to care
for their families here at home.
1T is the function of the Coun-
ell of Defense to try to Ameri-
canize the alien, to stimulate
food production and conserva-
ton, to aid in Liberty Loans, to
carry on campaigns in child
welfare, in protection of wo-
men in the new war industries,
etc. It is the function of the
Food Administration to make
the food go around. But these
are only different phases of the
same big job; and to work for
one does not relieve us of the
obligation of working for the
Others. So we, who represent
the Red Cross, the Council of
Defense, and the Food Admin
istration, are sending this joint
appeal to our workers all over
Minnesota to stand by each
other, serving these threefold
forms of government war ser
vice with perfect unanimity." !"

WHY RUSSIA FELL

~ HE Portland Journal ex-
VI plains that the Russian
peasants bowed down
and accepted a dishonorable
peace because they lost seven
million men. The esteemed
Journal is wrong. Russia had
no such losses in the war. But
Russia has lost something
greater by submitting to de-
feat. The people have lost
their national existence, their
political freedom and have be-
come vassals. 1t is something
worse than death. Russia was
the victim not of German guns
but of internal treachery and
ignorance. Traitors, spies and
fools who allowed themselves
to be duped by traitors and
spies caused Russia's downfall.
There are just such fools as
these abroad in America. Some
of them were recently in Walla
Walla and were called swiftly
to account. They need be held
in check for if they had their
way they would drag this coun-
try into the bolsheviki mire.

ECRETARY

~ ECRETARY LANSING
admits the American
government was duped
by the Germans with reference
to their submarine promises
prior to our entrance into the
war. But it is not surprising
nor to the discredit of Lansing.
The German government had
given an absolute promise that
submarine warfare would be
held in proper bounds, respect
ing the rights of neutrals and
allowing a chance for civilians
to escape when ships were at
tackled. Such a promise was
entitled to credence. Had we
not accepted their promise as
made in good faith but had
gone to war regardless of that
promise the United States
would have been accused of be-
ing the aggressor in the strug-
gle. The fiendishness and du-
plicity of the Hun government
would not have been disclosed
as it was
In this case as in others the
German government is suffer
ing from its own craftiness. The
German course of action has
made America a more formid-
able, determined and united foe
than would have been the case

gard for decency and the
pledged word of his govern
ment,
