FORBID THE RED FLAG.

By an overwhelming majority, the
legislature of the state of Washington
has passed a bill against criminal
syndicalism. A similar measure has
been introduced at Salem. The
menace at which it is directed is thus
Defined
Criminal syndicalism is the doc
trine which advocates crime, sabo-
tage. violence or other unlawful
methods of terrorism as means Of
accomplishing industrial or political
reform.
While there will always be differ
ences of opinion, according to the
points of view, on what constitutes
terrorism and violence, there can be
but one sentiment among normal
Americans on the greatest crime OF
the Bolsheyists and the extreme
leaders of the |, w. W.. and that is
their outspoken contempt for our
democratic form of government
their determination to substitute the
red flag for Old Glory, and anarchy
for law and order.
Some well-intentioned folk hold
that we should be patient and lenient
with certain foreign-born men and
women who through ignorance alone
misconceive the spirit of our political
institutions. This view is not alto
gether without merit, but it does not
and can not be made to apply to the
American-born agitator whose prin-
cipal object in life is to raise hell.
1t is to kill off the dangerous activi-
ties of these open-eyed leaders of the
blind that Oregon must have laws
which will choke them off.
Their object is not to improve
labor conditions but to destroy the
property and the capital with which
labor is associated and by which
alone employment may be made per
manent and profitable. Their chief
desire is to bolsheyise America after
the manner of Russia, they to be
miniature Trotzkys and Lonines,
The time to stop this lawlessness
and terrorism is right now, Those
who would march and shrek under
the red flag have started an organi-
zation in Portland. 1t must be
throttled before it can begin its
work OF oyerturning law and order
in the effort to establish a reign Of
anarchy. Let US decide to have one
flag and one only.-Portland Tel
egram.

INDUSTRY MAKES BREAK.

Many industries have announced
a reduction In price of their product
in order to stimulate buying and
enable them to get back to a peace
production basis,
No corresponding reduction has
been made in wages, however, the
industries having decided they would
rather give up profits temporarily
in the hope of eventually making up
the loss in increased output.
OF course this policy cannot last
indefinitely but industry has made
the start and indicates the precise
way to escape what has been called
the vicious circle of high prices and
high wages. Labor says it cannot
accept wage reduction while prices
remain high. Manufacturers say
they cannot reduce prices while
wages remain high. Men of affairs
contemplating extensions or new
enterprises say they cannot begin
construction while both prices and
wages maintain prohibitive levels.
Some one must make beginning
II the vicious circle is to be broken
and business Is to be stimulated.
Industry has made the break and
the wholesome and necessary process
of deflation has been set in motion.
Labor will not object to reduction
in pay If purchasing power of the
dollar is increased. and the American
standard of living is not threatened.

The ACCEPTING Of
OO9RESPONSIBILITY
BY Rev. H. \. Moves.

Galatians t. and s. Bear ye
one anothers burdens and SO fulfil
the law Of lhrist-For every man
shall bear III, ewa burden"
Revorsiug the order Cl these verses
We learn, frs that every one is called
to accept his own burden, then he is
to look around him to see whether
there be some one who needs help
and whose burden he can share No
very profound reflection is necessary
to the discovery that the conditions
of human life would be very greatly
improved if all should act upon this
principle. As a matter Of fact how
ever, We have in society as it is
those who do not even bear their own
burden. We call them Shirkers or
loafers, deadbeats, taXdodgers, or by
some other similar term, We shall
do well in handing out these COM
pliments to stand before the mirror
and remember Christ's words about
the beam and the mote
Responsibility Complex.
To bear ones own burden in life
is no simple matter. We are related
to fellowmen in so many different
ways that our responsibility is COM
plex, and to bear ones individual
burden becomes a lifelong acceptance
of complicated duties.
A man has duty toward his
fami. and to the community. He
is a citizen Of his own town, of his
state, of the nation and of the world.
He has a certain responsibility to his
customer or mis- client and another
to his next door neishbor.
A man shares the possibility of
his community for the illiterate, the
tramp and the criminal. According
to his ability, he is responsible for
public opinion, for social conditions
and for the administration of jus
tice He cannot successfully dodge
his share of responsibility for the
public institutions CT his community
its schools, churches. hospitals
and library facilities, condition of
sewers and streets, fire risk or any
thing else that affects the public
health, wealth or welfare.
But our obligation is not even
limited to our own generation. We
have a duty toward those who have
gone before us, whom we honor ac
cording to their deeds and from
whom we acquire wisdom. Likewise,
we must ask ourselves what kind Of
conditions we are establishing for the
unborn generation that is to succeed
us.
Nor have we exhausted the catalog
of burdens. We ere responsible for
our speech, whether clean or pro-
fame, our manner, whether kindly or
repellant and for our influence over
the lives of others. And when We
have covered the whole range of out
ward duties we should remember
that we are responsible to God for
our secret thoughts and purposes,
and for the use or neglect of every
talent that he has conferred upon us.
To Him as our Creator we owe
reverence, as the Moral Governor of
all men, obedience and for his in
finite goodness, gratitude.

Responsibility of Parents.
Briefly let us examine some prac-
teal forms of responsibility. Let
us begin with parents, Toward the
children they have brought into the
world they certainly have duties
which most parents gladly recognize
and seek to perform. In doing sc
they are prompted by natural affec-
ton for their offspring To provide
food, clothing. shelter and care is d
paternal obligation which is the out.
growth of the relationship.
But in an enlightened state many
farther responsibilities appear, and
these higher duties are not so univer,
sally acknowledged,
An American child is entitled to an
education which will equip him fol
his duties as q citizen. Indeed he
requires at least common schoo'
education in order to hold his OWL
among his fellows For these reasons
the state has enacted compulsory
school law requiring parents to send
pupils to school whether the parent
realizes the Importance Of so doing
or not. So far the child's physical
and mental welfare has been pro.
vided for
But there is an element of that
child's nature which is not satisfied
by physical and mental culture alone
He has a right to know something
about his own destiny and those
higher qualities Of his life which
differentiate him from the animal
and ally him with the divine. In the
multiform relationship which he
must fulfil in life, he has a right tc
all the help which can come to hin
only from moral and spiritua
sources. Every child born int
christian civilization is entitled tc
the welcome uplift that comes frou
q knowledge of christian truth. There
is no compulsion upon parents t.
secure such help for their children
but the responsibility is there jus
the same, for which the parent mus
give an account before a higher thar
earthly courts. Parents who fail t
provide religious training for thu
children whom GCd has given then
send their children out blindfolded t,
wander and stumble along life's path
way. To acquire practical educa
ton, to learn a trade and so beCDm,
able to make a living or get wealtl
is not sufficient. Every child has /
right to such training as will secur,
the development of the best ant
highest forces within him-to
healthy body, a sound mind, a dis
ciplined will, an awakened con
science, and a moral nature quick
ened by communion with God. If tn,
tragedy of earth is death, the glor.
of the human spirit is Immortality
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1919-01-23
Responsibility of Maturity.

Much that has been already said
applies with equal force to men and
women in the active duties of later
life. New duties however confront
us in each new situation. The alter
native is often repeated which forces
US to accept or to dodge respon-
sibility. This seems to be Gods plan
to give us many opportunities to re-
deem ourselves, and give value to his
gift of life.
One cannot fail to be impressed
with the fact that the triumphs of
modern civilization are possible only
because there is great multitude of
men and women who are responding
nobly to the call of duty, so that all
the complicated machinery of our
modern life runs smoothly. The
great mass of Americans are living
in peace and comfort because there
are millions of faithful people In our
homes, shops, stores and offices who
are accepting their responsibilities
and patiently bearing their burdens.
What a debt Of gratitude we owe to
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1919-01-23

It therefore becomes the duty Of
parents to afford the child an oppor-
tuniJy to secure these blessings and
to'encourage him to desire and seek
them. If parents fail in any of
these respects it is either because
they do not realize the value of such
opportunities for their children, or
because they are unwilling to make
the required effort. They are no
willing to bear their own burden. e

ehestra, composed Of Senior and Junior
High pupils, under the direction Of
Miss Edna Cameron.
Too much praise for the success Of
the pageant can not be given to Miss
Marie Heating, under whose direction
the play was staged, to E. g. Randall
OF the Vocational schools, and to w. S.
Hanson, who directed the various folk
dances. Their efforts were not put
forth in vain. The characteristics that
distinguished the celebration were. sin
certify and dramatic force such as one
might expect from Percy Mackaye, an
artist, who thoroughly understands the
art of stage and screen situations.
The new citizens, too, seemed to have
clear conception Of the purpose vof
the play. Many stopped to congratu-
late them before departing from the
scene Of the most significant pageant
ever presented in the history Of Ke-
nosha.
