ATHENA. OREGON, JUNE 21, 1918

With all the titanic effort and t he
billions of dollars necessary to put the
country on a war basis, it would ap-
pear that in America there would be a
sufficient, number of manufacturers
with enough business acumen to go
out and get contracts from the gov
eminent direct, instead of parleying
with grating commission bunds on
high percentage basis. The nation
has ample funds to back this war to a
finish, but not a dollar to contribute to
graft, and the sooner it is totally elm
mated by process Of few hangings
(prison sentences tabooed) the easier
it will be to sell Liberty Bonds and
Thrift Stamps. One army lieutenant
has already been enmeshed in the net
of investigation, and the finger of JUS
tice now points to higher-ups.

Between the recent aphis raid on
growing grain and the continued dry
weather, spring sown crops, especially
barley, give little or no encouragement
for fulfllment of earlier expectations
on the part of the grower. Not so
much will the monetary loss be felt,
but the fact that the grain was needed,
and needed badly, mates the result a
deplorabIe one.

MOIHEKS DAY.

The white carnation, the emblem
of Mothers Day." viii be much in
evidence Sunday.
No earthly name is 50 dear to the
American as mother. We older ones
look back upon the days Of our child
hood with sweetest remembrance of
mother and bitter lamentations over
our thoughtless deeds that caused her
so much anxiety and pain.
But she forgave us, though she
closed her eyes in death ere we re-
allied how sorely we wounded her
heart. She has gone, without fear or
trembling, up past angels, or even
areh-angels, and asked God to cleanse
the heart even as she has washed our
hands and face and feet.
She has scolded at the carelessness
that made the dirt, and held up her
hands at the rended garments.
The door was always ajar for the
dirty, hayward BARN or lass with
the torn clothes, and though she has
scolded while making clean and MAX
ing whole, she was forgiving, and
saying, "Now, see if you can't keep
Clean" or "Do slide down that rail-
road bank that has no gravels, or the
cellar door without so many nails. !"
The one thing that stirred her wrath
was when she found out that we had
been going around the neighborhood
for some time with ditry face and
hands. That was a reflection on her
care and watchfulness. Then we
were spanked, not for getting dirty or
tearing our clothes, but for staying
dirty and exposing our rents.
Shall we not hope that Our Father
is like mothers in this respect?
as a mother pitch her children, so
the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.
Then let us all-all children of our
Father-go to Him when we get our
hearts soiled, or our characters torn,
and he'll make our hearts clean and
our characters whole. He don't want
his children running around down
here in the neighborhood that way.
It's reflection on Him and on the
power of His sons blood to keep us
clean.

house a small family in comparative
comfort until their ruined homes can

promises to bring the season Of dis
cussion to an end altogether, one way
or the other. No one sees how the
German chancellor, Prince Maximil-
ian, can fail either to accept Presi-
Nsnt Wilson's platform or reject it.
Acceptance viii be taken to mean
that the Germans regard their posi-
tfon as hopeless and that disaster Is
imminent.
The general opinion is that Ger
many's military position Is not so
bad, but that her leaders will fight
On, il only with the hope Of creating
divisions among the allies which has
been Germany's reliance of late.

Watch Germany's allies IL she de-

Austria shows no intention Of re-

that the separate, correspondent be-

fore, need have no effect upon Aus
tria's and it will be no surprise to

the associated nations would imme-

Says Such Peace Would Be
Conditional Surrender
of America
WANTS WAR ON
TURK At ONCE
Peace Should Be M a d e
With Guns, Not With
Clicking Typewriters
fRv Assocfated Press.l )

:
Oyster Bay, N. Y, Oct. 25.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt sent duplicate tele-
grams last night to United States
Johnson in which he characterized
as thoroughly mischievous" the
fourteen principles enunciated by
President Wilson If they are to be
made the basis of peace. The tele-
grams follow:
"As an American citizen I most
earnestly hope that the senate OF the
United States which is part Of the
treaty-making power Of the United
States will take affirmative action
against negotiated peace with Ger
many and in favor OF peace based
on the unconditional surrender OF
Germany.
81 also declare against the adop-
ton in their entirety of the four
teen points Of the Presidents ad-
dress OF last January as offering a
basis for peace satisfactory to the
United States. Let us dictate peace
by the hammering guns and not chat
of the clicking of typewriters.
Language Not Plains
THE language of the fourteen
peace points and the subsequent
statements explaining or qualifying
them is neither straightforward nor
plain, but if construed in it's probable
sense many, and possibly most of
these fourteen points are thoroughly
mischievous. and if made the basis
of a peace such peace would repre-
sent not the unconditional surren-
der. of Germany, but the conditional.
surrender of the United States Nat
urally they are entirely satisfactory
| to Germany and equally naturally
they are in this country satisfac-
tory to every pro- German and paci-
fist and Socialist and anti American
so called internationalist.
Should War On Turkey.
| 1.-THE only peace offer which we
should consider from Germany at this
| time is an offer to accept such terms
as the allies without our aid have
imposed on Bulgaria. We ought to
declare war on Turkey without an
| hours delay. The failure to do so
hitherto has caused the talk about
making the world safe for democ-
racy to look unpleasantly like more
| insipcere rhetoric. While the Turk
| is left in Europe and permitted to
| tyrannize over the subject peoples,
the world is thoroughly unsafe for de-
Gsnocmcy.
! Moreover. we should find out what
the President means by continually
+ referring to this country merely as
the associate instead of the ally Of
the nations with whose troops our
own troops are actually brigaded in
battle.
IF he means that we are some
lthing less than an ally of France,
England. Italy, Belgium, and Ser
