Masked Men Attend Seufert

Action on the part of masked men
and armed vigilantes at The Dalles in
kidnapping Arthur Seufert, member of
the we'll known Wasco county family,
and forcing him, at the end of gun
to sign a pledge for $1,000 worth Of
War Savings Stamps, is an interesting
sdelght on the report that there are
now SO members of the ". S. 5. Limit
club in that county.
Seufert, son of f. A. Seufert, Sr,
prominent landholder, Gamer and citi-
zen, had long been the subject Of ad-
verse criticism on the part of the more
patriotic at The Dalles because of his
too freely expressed criticism of the
government and it's Win-theWar poli-
cies, and because of his abuse Of the
British
Arthur Seufert had already pur-
chased some War Savings Stamps and
Liberty bonds in his own name; the
father and other members of the fami-
" have holdings of Liberty bonds
amounting to over $3.50, 900, and $1,000
worth of W S. s., but the son, letting
it be known with a certain amount of
braggadocio that his sympathies were
not altogether with the United States
and the allies in the war against the
hun, was deemed by Wasco's patriotic
citizens in need of some direct lessons
in loyalty.

PAINT IS USED TO
SEAL ABRASIONS

Many orchardists and tree surgeons
have found that the best and most eco

of all kinds is to cover them with roof
paint. 1t is easy to apply and farmers
throughout the country have used it
with benefit in the treatment of abra-
sions, cuts and grating 1t is heavy
enough in body to form thick coating
over the wound, thus preventing in
sects and the elements from harming

A professional tree surgeon and
pruner who is taking care of some 20, =
600 trees, writes enthusiastically about
it for use on citrus trees. 1T is, "
he says, 'the best thing | have ever
used or heard Of, and being so well
satisfied heartily recommend Oronite
roof paint to any and all orchardists
who may be interested in such a
paint.
The use Of this paint is undoubtedly
the best, most convenient and econom-
ical way of healing abrasions Of trees,
and it greatly prolongs their life and
productiveness.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN, PAST
AND PRESENT

(From Richmond Times Dispatch)
Whatever may be your attitude
toward William j. Bryan; what
ever may be your estimate Of his
intellectual capacity, you must
grant him a large measure of
satisfaction as he contemplates
the present state Of national poll
tics. Disappointed though he may
be that he has never achieved the
presidency, he remains the most
successful POLITICAL theorist in
country and the most farseeing
statesman.
This comment is inspired by the
recent act Of President Wilson
in taking over the railroads Of
the country, the first direct step
toward government ownership Of
the American transportation sys-
tenn. This is the last Of the origi-
nal Bryan policies to be put into
practice. His championship of
such measure twelve years ago
brought upon him nation ridi-
Guile and no doubt cost him the

CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS

"Eight years ago when we first
moved to NATION, I was great suf-
ferer from indigestion and constipa-
tion,'' writes Mrs. Robert Allison,
NATION, III. ''I had frequent head
aches and dizzy spells, and there was a
feeling like heavy weight pressing on
my stomach and chest all the time. I
felt miserable. Every morsel of food
distressed me. I could not rest at
night and felt tired and worn out all
the time. One bottle Of Chamberlain 9
Tablets cured me and I have sine felt
like different person.

presidential nomination in 1904
But he has lived to see almost the
whole body Of the American
people acquiesce in a move that
may lead eventually to govern
ment ownership Of railroads.
This is not all. For more than
twenty years Bryan has been
preaching prohibition. Like most
dry leaders, however, he began
with the advocacy Of local option
then progressed to Statewide pro-
hibition, finally coming out bold
ly for nationwide ban against
liquor. Today a nationwide pro-
hibition amendment has passed
through the initial stage and has
been placed before the States for
ratification.
Monetary reform was another
Bryanism. The old sixteen-to-
one plan went overheard, Of
course, but it was only one num-
Der on the Bryan financial pro-
gram.
The decentralization Of monetary
control, with elasticity in the cur
rency, was the basis Of the Bryan
theory. Now the Federal reserve
system, carrying into effect those
two fundamental policies, has
been given to the country by
union Of Republican and Demo
cratic votes. There is not a man
with two good eyes, in the broad
land, who would seriously pro-
pose the repeal Of this law
Direct election of United States
Senators was demanded by Bryan
long before his own party was
willing to support such a project.
But he was not deferred. He first
tried to convert Democrats to his
convictions upon this issue, and,
having won his party over to it,
he has had the privilege Of seeing
enough Republicans fall into
lines to pass the amendment
through Congress and make posi-
bic it's ratification by more than
three-fourths Of the States Leg
islatures. The same is true Of the
income tax amendment to the
Constitution, another Bryan pol
icy.
AS said before, the Commcner
may never be President Of the
United States, but in the deeper
recess of his heart he may agree
with many Of his intense admirers
that there is, after all, something
more satisfying in public service
than public office.

awfully with indigestion and was grow

Every single thing she would eat made

An event of great interest. especial
ly to the younger pupils, has been
the coming of about 5000 worth of
play ground apparatus this week.
Teeter boards, giant slide, an
ocean wave. giant stride, ladder
and combination swings, rings and
trapeze have arrived. Mr.. r. l..
Nixon instigated the matter at the
beginning of the term, and it has
valiantly been carried on by three
little boys-John Daggett, Hal Nixon
and Banks Newbern. These three
ardent young students went out and
collected good part of the money
for the apparatus, which is being
put up now.
The Girls Home Economics class

work this week The girls are busy
knitting and making pajamas and
other articles for the soldiers. We
hope to organize a junior auxiliary
soon.
