WORK OR FIGHT.
Town Authorities Frown Upon Gen
tlemen of Ease.

Get a gun, else get hoe, shovel or
something, quick. It's here-the
work or fight programme. No long
er is it safe for the gentlemen of
ease to sit upon the old soap box at
the grocery store and carve out works
of art from the plant pine, or debate
the burning questions of the hour
with other gentlemen of leisure.
The chief of police is now busy
serving notice upoA the ought-to-be
fighters that they must get busy and
go to work. If they happen to be
within the draft age, it will be to the
front for them. If they are not with
in the draft age, but are able to work,
they will have to go to work for them
selves or for the county.
City council Monday afternoon held
a meeting and passed an ordinance
requiring every person who is able to
perform manual labor to go to work.
Cards were printed on which persons
reported to the authorities can get
the certificate of their employers stat
ing that they are not loafers. This
ordinance is one recommended by the
government in order to do away with
all forms of loafing as war measure.
The government says everybody must
work if we are to win the war-and,
of course, we are going to win the
war; therefore, it is up to everybody
to work.
Inasmuch as there is no excuse for
not having job now, the chief is not
arguing very much with anybody
about it. If they are not working,
the chief says he thinks he can secure
them positions, as the town and coun-
ty can use number of laborers right
now on the roads and streets. The
best authorities say that loafing is
not healthy anyway, and the chief is
very desirous of improving the pub
lie health.

Ali Her Savings in w. S. S.

Miss Maud Padgett, a young girl
employed at the Bamberg Cotton
Mills, pledged $500 when the can
vass for w. S. S. pledges was made
in June. She bought the first stamp
and paid for it, and then the next
week she bought another one, and
has not missed a week yet. She says
she intends to buy one every week
until January, if possible. She is
putting every cent she can possibly
spare in government war stamps. This
is a spirit that is to be commended,
and as soon as the people as a whole
get down to business like this young
lady, we are going to wind up this
war.

At the campaign meeting in Wal

forced out from under cover, and was
made to declare himself, very re-
luctantly, however, and he declared
that if he was spared to vote this
summer he would cast his ballot for

Thos. H. Peoples was called on by
w. P. Pollock at Florence to state
where he stood regarding BIease. He
evaded direct reply, and refused to
commit himself. This was taken by
the crowd and everybody else to mean
that he is Bleaseite.

Still, the Hun excels in some ways.
For instance:
He has made war more astrocious
than any other human being since
the Red Indian and the Barbary Pi-
rate.
He stands alone, supreme, WRAP
ped in the solitude Of his own i'm
mensity' in his bold disregard of
humanity. His inhuman outrages in
Belgium and Poland easily excel
what any Englishman could do.
His support of Turkey in the das-
tardly massacre of Armenians could
not be equalled by any of the Allies.
He is far and away our superior
in breaking treaties, as with Belgium.
We couldn't do that.
In the matter of spies and their
dirty work he is a world-beater.
No Italian, Frenchman, Britisher,
or American can touch him when it
comes to fighting women and chill
dren.
He bombards hospitals, torpedoes
hospital and merchant ships, carries
the civilian population of an invaded
country into slavery, starves, mutt
lates, and insults prisoners Of war,
and in similar sneaking, dishonor-
able, and cowardTy acts of ferocity is
plainly our master.
He was the first to use poison gas
and other excellencies of ,frightful-
ness.
He has the nerve, while doing this,
to talk of his Kultur, of the superb
ority of German "civilization,"' and
of being the 'superman." Granted!
Nothing this side of hell is superior
to him, in this line.
He is beyond us all in Egotism.
Englishmen are. a bit chesty and
Frenchmen and Italians boast occa-
sionally and we are not above blow
ing our own horn ourselves now and
then. But our hats are off to the
Hun. Egotism is his. He wrote it.
We are poor pikers.
And above all, the Hun has re-
moved God Almighty from His throne
and substituted Almighty Germany.
All the Ten Commandments are off.
The Beatitudes are piffle. Any crime
you want to commit-lying, stealing,
assassination, treachery, rape or may
hem-is glorious, if it's done for the
Fatherland.
Yes, the Hun is wonderfully eff
cient, in deviltry. That's about all.
And when it comes to that he
makes old Mr.. Beezlebub grit his
teeth.-Dr. Frank Crane.

NEW WORLD LIFE
PLAN Is ADOPTED

In making its subscription of $50 600
to the Third Liberty Loan New World
Life Insurance Company, with Offices
in the Stevens Bldg, Portland, recent.
ly adopted plan of apportionment
which bids fair to become very popular
among the larger financial institutions.
"Our two former subscriptions,
stated President Cadigan, were each
made in lump sum through the home
organization. We have felt, however,
that we were in duty bound to remem-
ber the localities from which consid.
cradle portion of our income is derived.
For this reason we divided or last
$50, 900 subscription between our gen.
eral agents in various Oregon, Wash.
ington, Idaho and Montana centres.
They in turn have placed the funds in
the hands of their local committees.
I'VE hope to see other large local
financial institutions adopt this plan,
because it lends encouragement to the
loyal people in the smaller towns from
which Portland derives its standing as
a financial and distributing centre.
