PUBLIC OPINION APPROVES.

Eugene, Or, Mar. 22.-Public opinion
here SO strongly approves the action Of
local v~igilantes early today in deport-
ing Jack Spores that it is being bruit-
ed about that chronic loafers and Ger
man sympathizers may have similar ex-
periences.
Spores has lived here for several
years on a small inheritance. Following
charges that he refused to assist war
activities and made remarks about
women, Spores was taken to the Ben
ton county line north of Junction City
by at least fifty local citizens, and
told to leave Lane county, under threat
of severe punishment should he return.
Tar and feathers were carried by the
vigilantes, but these were not used.

The follow-up showing made by Chairman Hurley Of
the American shipping board as to the ship situation
shows the total losses since the wS;r began, due to all
causes, to be 1Iy827,572 tons. To counter balance this
there was built by the allies and neutrals 6,723.623 tons,
captured from the enemy, which includes the taking over
of informed German and Austrian ships 1890 900 and with
the taking over of the Dutch shipping yesterday another
million tons are added to these, making a grand total Of
10,195,000 tons, leaving the total net losses 1,532,000. This
on the face of it is not so bad, but it must not be over
looked that from this on there will be no shipping to take
over, and that all losses must be met by building. 1t will

Klamath Falls is having a row over it's court house.
1t seems the sum of $180,000 has been expended on "the
new court house" and it is now claimed it is cheaper to
abandon this and build a real new one, than to complete
the present new one" With $180,000 invested in such a
way that abandoning the building is the cheapest way to
rid Of it, there apparently has been a bit of grating
done down that way that would delight the readers Of
ret -Rich-Quick Walingford tales. If the building is
under the terms of the agreement made with
the person who donated the land, it is forfeited to him.

AN UNIQUE TRAITOR

The story of the failure Of Trotsky's plans is rather
pathetic if we believe some Of the stories coming out OF
Russia. 1t is so largely because the dreams Of an idealst
were SO rudely shattered by his supposedly best friend,
Lenine. Lenine was not Of the dreamy kind, but took his
in solid German gold which creased his palms to their
utter condemnation through all history. He is in many
ways the most unique traitor history records. Arnold
would have betrayed his country through jealousy and
for revenge, and Judas betrayed his master for a handful
5f filthy silver, but both of these were traitors from
within the households Lenine, a rank outsider, wormed
his way into the good graces of a crazy faction OF the
Russian revolutionists and while not of them turned them
over, to his master, the kaiser; and with them the great
masses. of more than a hundred and fifty millions OF
ignorant people, bound hand and foot and helpless. 1t
was a wonderfully well managed piece of tr%aitorism, but
apparently is destined to fail. German arrogance has
caused a revolution of feeling and in Russia proper an
organized revolution is forming that bodies Ill for the
kaiser and his cruel minions whose brutality has turned
the people betrayed into their hands, against them. At
the same time the new formed government OF Ukraine is
discovering that she can never have peace with her in
vaders, for the reason that so long as there is any SEM
blance of Slav government, that long her enemies will be
weakening and destroying it. Austria has just made
demands Of Ukraine for a part OF the territory OF Vohn.
This while her statement that she would not back Ger
many's demand for annexations or indemnites is still
fresh in memory. Trotsky, if he is really sincere, will APP
parentIy be able to start another revolution and this may
be backed by the Ukraine people uniting with their fellow
SEavS against their common enemy again.

LaFollette is the Lenine Of the republican party of
Wisconsin. He led the bolsheviki, and connived with the
enemy to their own undoing. He had his following sized
up right, and the only reason his man did not win was
that a large number of his wing of the party abandoned
the kaiser to take up with socialism. The next senator
from the state will either be a democrat, a socialist or
a republican with pro-German leanings. Lenroot can't

Yesterday was the vernal equinox and Gentle Spring
surely arrived. Only Spring could put up such a medley
of weather as prevailed for there were several dozen
varieties of it and each a little more "trifling" than all the
others combined. Now that the tripping damsel has got
to the end of her trip let us hope she will settle down and
let the sun shine long enough at a time to encourage the
hens to cackle. 1t is high time the top of the ground was
allowed to get dry enough that one did not pick up half
an acre on each foot by simply looking toward where the
garden should be. The only trouble about the fresh
young thing behaving herself is that everything seems
mighty dull and dry when she settles down and puts on
her summer frocks, which by the way she is evidently
preparing to do as she is taking a bath today.

The race for the republican nomination for the COVER
norship is becoming decidedly interesting, because it no
longer has the appearance of being a dead certainty for
any of the candidates. The cause OF this change of con
ditions is the entrance of the Coos Bay man into the fight.
With five contestants, a not very large minority if the
vote is anywhere near evenly divided, will be able to elect,
and it depends largely on the ability of the candidates to
hold their following, Simpson has injected a new element
into the race for he appeals to the businessman. AT
the same time there is so much and so many different
kinds of political camouflage already brought into the
campaign, that it is impossible to tell which situation is to
be gassed and its occupant caught with his mask off.

 Mir. Fite had hardly left the Star office when Mrs. Jennie Peters of Board Camp brought in bloom gath cred from her 7-acre field on June 25. The bloom brought in by kfs. Peters is of the "Trice" variety, the seed of which she secured from the U. s. Department of Agriculturc. She says 1t has the advantage over the common varieties raised in PoEk county in that it is prolific and opens about l5 days earlier in the fall, thus often escaping early frosts-

In doing this Mir. Blair gives up business that he has built up to quite satisfactory basis and leaves behind his wife and little ones, Dorothy and Dan, years and IS months old respectively. These last will go to Mrs. Blair's parents in Cherryvale, Kas., while the hus- band and father is in service.
 When boy of 16 Mir. Blair enlist ed in the navy and was so successful that when discharged in 1918 he had been advanced to turret captain on the great battleship Idaho.
 He then went to Cherryvale, Kas., where he was married.
 Since the war began he has had a number of inquiries if1 regard to his availability for further service, anL as time went on these became more insistent as the need for trained men grew and Mr. Blair decided it was his duty to respond. He will leave between the 18th and 18th of July. and has applied for a postgraduate course in the gunnery school at Washington, D. C., after which he will enter the service with his old rank.
 The Lyric, until otherwise disposed of, will be conducted by a brother, Tom Blair, who now conducts a photo play house at Poteau. He now has gone to Dallas, Tex, to book attrac- tions and will be in Mena July 8.

POLK COUNTY IS AT TOP.
Stands First in Arkansas for Clean
 ing Up Slackerism.

Sheriff H. w. Finger returned on Saturday afternoon from Little Rock, where he took the Caughrons and oth- CT men sentenced at the recent term of Circuit court, as we'll as the slack CTS, Dee Harrison and Ray Manley. On the trip he was accompanied by J. A. Johnston, John H. Bratcher and LeRoy Neal as deputies.
 Sheriff Finger saw the convicts safely lodged behind the penitentiary bars and turned Harrison and Man. ley over to the military authorities. In doing so he entered a plea for them, urging that, with as light pun ishment as consistent, they be given a chance to redeem themselves by making good soldiers.
 In talking with high officials Mir. Finger was shown hearty apprecie- tion for the work done in Polk eoun- ty and was told definitely that, in cleaning up slackerism in all it's de- grees and shades, Polk county stood at the top in Arkansas, with Saline and Crittenden counties second and third.
 In this connection let it be remcm- bered that when the sun goes down today, June 24, 1918, there is not a stacker or deserter in Polk county One deserter, Palmore, Dunnegan, is ascribed as from Polk county, but is said to have staid over in Oklahoma since his desertion.
