A., AnAa AlkME1lIAN CAMPAIGN

We have reports from the following
districts in the campaign to raise
money for the starving Armenians
and Syrians: 1st, 4th, 9Th, 9Th, 7th,
9Th, 9Th, 10th, 18th, 18th, 14th, 18th,
and 21st, are working, some of them
nearly out End, 18th, 18th, goth, 23rd,
no report. 22nd district out by even
money. Bird and 18th districts, over.
The 18th district is away over. For
the fine results in the latter district
special credit is due to Messdames J.
S. Read and w. T. Baker and Misses
Hattie and Willie Bridges. The time
to complete this work is extended to
Feb. 1st, 1919. The pride of Smith
county will be humbled if she fails
to subscribe the $250O asked for. If
some one in this county were starving
the people would brave the storm
and go by night to relieve the dis
tress. Let US then save the lives of
our Christian brethren across the
seas. In some districts, some individ-
ual members of committees have not
worked. We appeal to other men,
bers of the committee and to all citi-
zens in the name of the Lord and for
the sake of suffering humanity to
please accept this responsibility and
get this money. The people are amp
~ able and willing to give it if their
attention is called to it. If it is nee
essary to ask some one to double his
subscription, do so. But just a little
from each one will more than make
our quota. The committees can not
conscientiously be discharged until our
duty is performed. Telephone or
write your reports to ]. M. cox, Car

IN MEMORY.

James B. Hesson was born January
81, 1871, died October 81, 1918, was
married to Frances Jenkins Novem-
Der &c, 1898, lived with her until
1899, was widower until 1896, mar
ried again to Ada Moor March IL,
! ness. From the last marriage two
children were born-Georgia Bell and
Annie Mai, ages IL and years.
Mr.. Hesson professed religion and
joined the SandersOn G.. P. church in
1898, moved church membership to
Russell Hill G. P. church in 1913 and
was made ruling elder. He was also a
member of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows.
Brother Hesson suffered intensely
for weeks, and even months, with
tuberculosis; but, having committed
all his hopes by faith unto the keep
ing of a loving Savior, he was enabled
to endure suffering with the patient
resignation of a true Christian and
wore a smile of love and happiness to
the end. BLESSED are the dead which
die in the Lord from henceforth: yea
saith the spirit, that they may rest
from their labors; and their works do
follow them" Bro. Hesson has left
testimony of the important fact
, that he was ready and prepared to
90, and this testimony should con-
sole his widow, children, father, sis
tiers and brothers, and convince all
mankind that there is reality in the
religion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The body was laid to rest in the
Sanderson cemetery, Rev. Wilson Bur-
nett conducting the funeral services.

"a LII through the war there
~ was a tendency to speak
scornfully of the conscien-

mind the conscientious objector
was an unconscientious pre-
varicator and a coward as well.
No doubt this description fitted
many. But not all of them.
Alvin C. York was a type of
the real thing religious objec-
tor. His church in which he
was second elder, has scruples
against fighting. To the credit
of York it may be said he did
not ask exemption. He entered

and within less
than twenty years paid the
War of 1912 debt. They be-
gan to pay off the then appal-
lingly great debt of the Civil
War (about $2,600,000.000)
with equal CELEBRITY, and were
prevented from completing the
job only by the fact that much
of it had become tied up in the
misunderstanding system as the
basis of the note circulation.
When, therefore, Senator
Smoot of Utah proposes an i'm
mediate start in paying off the
Nations new war debt of over
$40. 100000 he is not likely
to meet with great opposition.
His plan is feasible and sound.
II calls for a permanent annual
appropriation from tax reve-
nues equal to a certain percent
age of the principal of the debt.
Whether this percentage
should be l, which would sink
the debt in forty-four years, OF
as high as 2 1-2, which would
sink it in less than twenty-fou1
years, is an open question with
the Senate.
The lower percentage rate
would seem to be high enough
1t was the sinking-fund rate
established on the Civil Wan
debt. 1t is only fair that the
payment of the debt should eX,
tend over a full generation, ano
this would be the case with q
yearly payment of l per cent
on the principal. Moreover, 6
low rate which would more
certainly be exposed to inter
walls of suspension.
The new war debt is for the
most part still selling well be-

advantage. The sooner a be-
ginning is made along this line
the better.-New York World

danger that the senate will re-
fuse to ratify" says the Ore
gonian.
Such evasion of the facts in
the case is contemplate. The
president has been doing his
part at Versailles. 1t is in the
senate that the mischief is be-
ing done. The senators are
running amuck, not the presi-
dent. Why try to blame Will
son?
On his first return from Eu-
rope the president invited the
foreign relations committee to
a dinner for the discussion of
the peace conference. Senator
Borah, a member of the COM
.mittee, refused to attend. How
can such a man as that be "con-
lciliated. How could men
like johnson, Poindexter OF
Lodge be conciliated. The
treaty has been changed to
meet earlier criticisms yet the
critics howl louder than ever.
Lodge has reversed his own re-
cord. How could any one
reach such a man as that?
The people know that Presi-
dent Wilson is doing his part
for the League of Nations. He
overcame opposition in Europe
and had the plan adopted by
the peace conference. The
next responsibility will be up to
the senate. 1t is a responsible
lity they cannot escape.
We were told last fall by
newspapers like the Oregonian
that great results would fol-
low the election OF q senate in
political opposition to the pre-
sident. Let us see them make
