A POOR COMBINATION.

A qnart of whiskey and pro-Ger.
man conviction appear to be poor
combination if the experience Of one
of the leading millmen of Oregon is
evidence.
This gentleman, one of the chief
officials of one of tne largest mills
in the state, expressed his devotion
to a quart of whiskey and the kaiser
on a recent trip.
A United States deputy marshal
happened to be on the train and
promptly arrested the millman on a
sedition charge, and the local
authorities added charge OF
violating the prohibition law.
Within "a hours the gentleman
had resigned his position, his en-
ployes had passed resolutions of
loyalty to the government, and
customers of the concern from
three states had countermanded
their orders.
The combination OF Whiskey and
alien sentiments is considerably
more deadly than a bomb, and a
quick fuse sizzling towards the in
wards of the bomb.
But we consider it much better
for. the nation that this millman be
exposed and Ousted and made in
nocuous than that he retain his i'm
portsnt position, and his kaiseristic
opinions.
While strong for temperance still
we might favor the wholesale in
toxication of a lot of alien thinkers
in this country, that to date have
escaped justice by keeping their
mouths shut.

AND WE FIGHT FOR 1T.

North Bend, Oregon is typical
enterprising city of the Northwest
modestly odmitting population OF
about $500.
Allowing for suffrage and basing
he voting strength on one-third OF
the population. North Bend should
poll vote of at least 1000.
Yet in its recent city election
when nine important charter amend
ments were submitted to the ballot,
including several tax measures, but
Sc votes were cast.
Today the people of North Bend
together with the people of every
other city in the United States are
joining with our allies in fighting
Tor liberty and the institution of
democracy All are doing their
utmost to overthrow the autocratic
Prussian rule andS ultimately allow
The German people that self-govern-
ment which We Ourselves are privil-
eyed to enjoy.
That self-government is primarily
based upon the ballot and the right
of every qualified citizen to vote.
Now consider the inconsistency OF
our stand. We fight to institute
democratic government, where a
monarchy now exists. We contend
that the horrors of Prussian rule
axe due to inequality of voting
power among the people-yet we
who have the privilege of the ballot
we who are entitled to the highest
privilege of citizenship, exercise
That right to the tune of Sc out OF
1000.
The instance of North Bend is nc
striking exception to the rule these
days. when q 1915 vote is considered
4 fair showing.
1t is q question whether the Ore
gon System is at fault. necessitating
ss it does that the voter exercise
considerable time ond thought be-
tore casting his vote or a general
willingness to let the other fellow
do it. But the result is the same
and the citizens of Oregon should be
ashamed Of the lack of true Ameri-
canism manifested repeatedly by
remaining away from the polls Of
every precinct in the state.
Our forefathers who fought for
the privilege of the vote. used it
and used it wisely but our later
generations not having fought for
it, feeling that we have it as part of
our inheritance are willing to waste
or discard it.-Oregon Voter.

A slice OF bacon. from a not toe

on acorRs and pig nuts, and a bit OF

PIGS ARE PIGS BUT BACON l9
SELDOM BACON

Though you pay 70 cents for a
skimped pound of bacon these So
cent dollar days, do You get the
bacon of your youth?
You do not.
Somewhere in the country there
are probably neighborhoods where
the family smoke house still features
the landscape
And about this time of the yexr
the squeal of the stuck pig echoes
through the land.
And there is headcheese, and
scrapple, and fresh sausage ON the
table, with the buckwheat cakes aild
the maple sirup.
And out in the smoke house there
are hams and shoulders and bacon.

, THE GREAT EXPERIMENT
(By Franklin X. Lane


There is no such thing as Ameri-
>anism unless Americanism is in our
soul. We have got to feel it arst.
and then We have got to put it out
2mong other people.
American is an inspiration. Ameri-
can is a spirit. 1t is the constant
and continuous searching of the hu-
man heart for the thing that is
better
Our wars have been fought by men
Of foreign birth. We see their
names every day in the list of those
who are dead on the battlefelds of
France.
There is no such thing as. an
American race. except the Indians
We are fashioning out a new people
We are doing the unprecedented
thing in saying that Slav, Teuton.
Celt, and the other races that make
up the civilized world are capable
OF being blended here, and we say
this upon the theory that blood
alone does not control the destiny of
man; that out of his environment,
his education, the food he eats, the
neighbors that he has, the work that
he does, there can be formed and
realized a spirit, an ideal which will
master his blood.
We are trying great experiment
in the United States. Can we gather
together people of different races,
creeds, conditions and asperations
who can be merged INTO one?
If we cannot do this, we will fail
indeed, we will have already failed.
If we do do this, we will produce the
greatest of all nations, a new race
that will long hold compelling
place in the world.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
TOO MUCH INTERFERENCE.

Various boards, politicians and
postal officials have made it very
difficult for newspapers to do bus
iness
The zone system putting sub
scriplions en- a cash basis and pro-
hibitag exchanges, has reduced the
news aper output to a minimum.
A constant s-ream of newspapers
announce suspension under new
rulings and increasing cost of labor
and material.
Autocratic orders have in some
cases been revoked by the President,
but active burocrats continue to
make life burden for publishers.
One average city daily newspaper
was put to an expense of $4,000 to
change its circulation and exchange
system to meet new regulations,
Smaller newspapers find it i'm
possible to make all the reports and
comply with all the regulations and
demands OF the departments.
OF course, after the war some of
these interferences with the liberty
of the press will cease but publishers
are disheartened.
The government has not fully ap-
preciated the loyalty or the devotion
of the press in helping put through
every need of our country.
There is not a day but new de-
mands for free publicity are made
by various boards and officials on
the newspapers that have been
crippled.
Intentionally or otherwise, the
interference by national authority
with problems involved in getting
out newspapers has gone too far
and must cease.-Manufactu

The merchants who fail to get their

An old farmer came to my Of
flee a few days ago to inquire
about the restrictions on the mill
ing of wheat. After | had ex-
planned it to him and the reasons
therefor, he said: Its all right.
Pm for Uncle Sam all the way,
and the extra trouble is part of
work to win the war. I'll SOW a
bigger field this fall and Uncle
Sam can have it all if he wants
it." That mans patriotism was
refreshing in that it was sponta-
neeus. When he saw a way to
aid his country he Immediately
resolved to do it. Quietly, un-
obtrusively, willingly he goes to
his duty as a patriot, and he and
such as he are as necessary to
our success in war as the soldier.
How different is he from those
who are grumbling and refusing
to voluntarily aid in the food con-
servation.
Just a thought here-when |
find from the monthly reports of
the merchants that any family is
using more flour or sugar than
allowable, that family will go
without those commodities until
they are real anxious to be good.
Moreover, Germany must be
destroyed.

Wheat Savings-They mast have wheat It is the
best food to fight 1t is the easiest to ship. We
alone spare it to them By saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without snting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of It. Providence has been generous in the
hour of need. 1t has given in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Corn 1t is the true American
food. The Indians hardest of races, lived on it.

A Comparison.

0FTTIMES you hear someone
" say that they won't join
the church because there hypo-
crits in it. They think, or rather
try to think, that the fact that a
church has hypocrites in itjustifies
their staying out of it and bring
ing damnation to their souls. In
these trOublous times the great
majority of us are pulling togeth-
er heartily to win the war. But
in our nation and in our commu-
nifty we have slaekers. How do
we feel in regard to these men
who pretend to be good citizens
yet refuse to perform the duties
of citizenship? What would you
think of a man who refused to
acknowledge his American citi-
zenship because some slackers
posed as American citizens?
These are parallel cases and
the latter proposition is as logical
as the first. In fact it were bet
ter to work with the hypocrites.
We are responsible to God for
our own conduct. The hypocrite
must answer for his. There is
even a better chance for the hyp.
ocrite than the sinner who has
not confessed Christ. We are
too prone to try to get to HEAVIER
over a highway of our own build
ing instead of the one Christ ha:
| laid out.
In cold, pittiless logic let mt
state the proposition:
There are certain well known
commands that man must ODE!
to be saved, certain ordinance
that must be performed on him
If he disregards them he is lost
One may have obeyed these com
mands and yet not be saved -bu
he has a chance. His state is in
