Ex-Governor West has just
returned from a federal mission
to England and France where
he saw conditions at first hand.
He is in good shape to know
the needs of our boys over
there.

WAS DEWEY DIsLoYAL

ri local anti-administration
IA paper says that in 1898 the
minority members in con-
gress were not loyal. 1t is a
falsehood. The files of the
East Oregonian for 1898 show
that the war declaration was
voted by congress in one min
ute and 40 seconds. The Span
ish war did not find the demo-
Gratis of the nation disioyal. 1t
is a lie to assert they were. No
essential war legislation was
ever blocked by the then mi
nority party.
The Rough Riders were re-
cruited from the south and the
southwest. General Joe Wheel
er, old southern warrior, be-
came an army commander
again. Dewey was a democrat.
$50 was General Miles. 1t was
a subject of pride at the time
that there was no north, no
south any longer and that po-
lIitics was forgotten. The
lcharge that democrats were
disloyal in 1898 is a silly insult.
1t should and will be resented
by all fair minded people. That
charge is on a par with the
claim that Roosevelt has been
the leader during this war and
that President Wilson has
never "been the leader in this
majestic movement"
President Wilson has at all
times been the nations leader.
He has led efficiently and
Icourageously to victory while
Roosevelt has been going about
with rabid jealous words try
ing to undermine his influence.
| If the vote Tuesday is to be
a test whether or not demo
tcrats were disloyal in the
Spanish war and whether Will
son or Roosevelt is the Ameri-
lean chief at present no intelli-
| gent voter will need much time
lin which to give his decision.

Why are the Rockefellers
and the Armours so anxious to
see a change in the political
complexion of congress? Do
they too wish to show their
loyalty to President Wilson by
taking all his prestige from
him2

matter was referred by chair to street
and highway committee with power to
act.
A request from E. Macrenaris for
permit to erect new building on river
bank opposite United Divers Supply
Co. store according to plans attached.
1t was the sense of council that no
building be allowed on this strip of

termined in the courts. The chair in
structed the street and highway com
mittee to serve notice on any parties
who are building on this property to
cease operations till question of own
ership has been determined.

An ordinance establishing the sala-
ries of officials was presented for ac-
tion of council. The clerk asked that
salary of city clerk and tax collector
be established at a higher figure than
800. This precipitated a discussion
lasting half hour. Mr.. West moved
that salary of clerk and collector be
raised to $15Oofa year and that clerk
De required to employ any. assistance
which may be, needed out of his own
salary. There being no second, the
notion was lost. Action on this or
finance was deferred to next regular
meeting, and in the meantime the

of the claim, to the district board for
such boards decision.
Local and district boards are CEN
ters for information on all questions
pertaining to the operation of the Sc

ice regulations. In view of the fact
that gen raj kilograms and letters
bearing upon the operation of the Sc

daily issucd from this office to al! Sc

practicable and confusing for hose
other than selective service officials to
attempt to keep pace with current
minor details of the selective service

the respective Jurisdictions of local
and district boards, also to inform

A mirror placed for Natures face,
Framed in tall trees and swaying

Reflections, in this mirror deep,

A mocking bird sings on the shore;
Pale Nymphs move on the grassy

And sleeping water-lilies wake.

All Churches
Open Tomorrow

TIL >re is an cd saying that ''you
never mss the water till the we'll runs
dry" We did not know that the
church services would be so missed
till we were compelled to do without
them during three weeks past. This
sentiment has been frequently ex-
pressed, even by non-church members.
The influenza is on the run, and to-
morrow the churches Of our town will
be opened again for Sunday school
and preaching services. The church
people are first to consider the safety
and good Of the community. They are
confident that now, in our wellventi-
lated churches there will be no dan
ger whatever of contagion.
The members Of the several church
es are therefore urged to resume their
usual church activities, beginning
with the Sunday school tomorrow, and
all the people of the town are earnest
ly and cordially invited to attend the
church of their preference, and join
in thanksgiving and praise to God
that our town has suffered lightly in
comparison with other places.
We desire to say to the new arrivals
in town that they will find special
welcome at all the churches, and are
invited to meet with the people of
God in His house tomorrow. All young
peoples societies at p. m. Preach

Without Irony

The All-Russian Congress of Soviets
at Moscow, on the point of deserving
the anti-Teutonic alliance, pauses to
adopt a resolution thanking the Ameri-
can people, "especially the laboring and
exploited masses of the United States"
for President Wilson'S message of SYM
pathy to the Russian revolution.
They say it without irony or malice.
We are sure of that. 1t is the voice of
a people infantile in it's politics and
terrible in it's souls simplicity. 1t is the
retort of people who could say with
gloomy despair: Better that the war
were lost than that one Mooney should
be hanged, one anarchist be suppressed
or one profiteer go unpunished."
The Bolsheviki were not intended for
an imperfect world, Their feud with it
is irreducible. They will have perfec-
ton or nothing, and their intolerance is
infinite. No two of them would accept
the millennium.
They are almost as helpless with them
selves and each other as with the Ger
mans.
1t is impossible to hate them, to up
braid them or to hold them responsible.
One must weep and let them go. There
is yet war to fight and win.
1t is not the kind of war any Boil
shevist thinks it is. It is not war for
capitalism or against it, no more a war
primarily for the "cultAre and we'll
being of those who toil' than for the
aggrandizement of the rich.
The most fantastic of all Bolshevist
notions is that the capitalist is promot-
ing a war which threatens in so many
ways the ramifcations of private prop
erty. No one can say for sure that the
institution of private property will itself
survive as we have known it before, or
survive at all.
It is war against the power that has
betrayed every trust of human nature,
including that of the Bolsheviki.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-17
Vengeance in the Air

Detailed horrors of the German air
raids on London and Paris obscure the
bald official statement of British aerial
attack on Mannheim. 1t does not occur
to us to wonder how Germany, with her
shrinking pilotage, can afford to lose six
teen trained hiers and four Gotha planes
IN one attack.
AS matter of fact, she cannot. Ger
man air raids over French, British and
Italian cities no longer represent cacu-
lated frightfulness. They have become
reactions Of rage and terror. For the
Allied air drive against Germany has al
ready begun.
There have been hints Of this for some
time chiefly from London. Bonar Law
felt confident enough Of Allied superior
lty IN the air to announce it in Parlia-
ment as an accomplished fact and def
mite offset to the approaching prepon-
derance of German artillery. Official
figures have been issued showing that
the British airmen drop seven bombs to
the Germans one. A brief item (from
German source) appeared the other
day showing that even in Bavaria, which
cannot be the principal field of Allied
attack, the material damage from hos
tile raiders was increasing at such d rate
that the state had been asked to repair
it. And Allied air squadrons cruising
over German cities along the lower Rhine
in broad daylight and returning without
the loss of a machine are now matter
of almost daily occurrence.
The heart of German industry and the
arteries of German distribution, both for
troops and supply, lie along the Rhine
They cannot be moved
But the terrific meaning of this shift
to the offensive is not apparent until one
figures by periods. In eleven weeks, dat
ing from December /, British airmen
alone dropped 1912 pounds of bombs on
thirty-five places within the German bor'
ders. What will happen when America
has her wings?

Prospering Peace With Japan

Our neighbor "The Evening Post" has
been doing notable work toward build
ing up more friendly relations with the
England Of the Far East 1t published
yesterday its third Japan Number"
containing fine array of notable arti-
cles dealing with the remarkable growth
and development of the Island Empire.
"The Evening Post" does excellent ser
vice in urging the sending of an Ameri-
can mission to Japan. We can think at
this time of no diplomatic venture likely
to bear larger fruit
The horrible war in Europe and our
own baffied endeavor to take part in it, in
the measure we would, have at last re-
yealed the unlimited Stiffness, on physical
grounds alone, of the bugbear of an at
tack from Asia
If America, with its hundred millions,
its steel production equal nearly to the
rest of the world, its manufacturing and
financial strength in similar proportions,
cannot make itself effective in the Euro
pean War, three thousand miles away,
need no longer waste our fears on any
people six thousand miles away.
But, more than all this, we have every
reason to cultivate the friendliest of re-
lations with this newest conner among the
great powers. In this, however, we have
displayed an insularity, to say nothing
more, scarce in keeping with rich and
generous nation.
Inc Japanese are a sensitive and
high-spirited people. They have a natu-
raj pride in the quite wonderful adanta-
oility they have shown in taking on the
ways OF the West and creating in the
Far East great modern industry.
There never was time more ausni.
cious for making Japan our firm and in
alienable friend. They have shown a
scrupulous regard for their pledges, their
treaties. 1t took the United States two
years and eight months to decide that il.
rad any part or interest in the diabo]ical
outchery in Europe. 1t did not take
Japan forty-eight hours TO affirm its
strict adhesion to it's pacts and pledges.
1t went further. 1t has repeatedly Of
1ered TO send not merely its feet, but its
army, TO the aid of the Allies. 1t may
now be called upon TO do vital and al
most decisive service in this struggle.
1t would be measurelcss stupidity for
the United States to take an attitude Of
covert hostility, az the Howling Hearsts
and other Of the insidious enemies Of a
better understanding among nations
would like to bring about

Over Forty

The notable thing in the career of
James Stillman was that he was past
forty when he became banker. When
he took charge Of the National City it
was one of the lesser banks even of New
York. He lived to see it become one of
the two or three great banks of the
world.
Its deposits had grown from around
twelve millions to near half a billion.
And this was his ambition. Yet it is
said of him that when he took up this
new work he had no desire to become
financier. He had been successful in
business and would have much preferred
to follow the softer side of life in travel
and the enjoyments which leisure may
bring. 1t was a rather striking instance
of conditions and environment creating
or revealing great talent
His career was not unlike that of his
close associate, Mr.. Hartman. The
latter had retired from active business
and was long past the meridian when a
situation called him back to reveal him
as one Of the greatest railway managers
and upbuilders the country has had
This is the stuff of Cromwells, and.
like the great Commoner, had either of
these men died at forty the genius they
possessed would have remained unknown
and undemonstrated.
