We were advised that the war

through 1920, so we were prepared

Now we have bills to pay, prom

PROGRESS VS.. SUSPICION

@eOOAsA--,A' w. StA'AASAO~s
Invariably when projects of any
magnitude are before the people for
solution there is some disagreement,
as well as insinuations on the part
Of some, that certain individuals are
pulling" for a particular faction or
In other words have an axe to grind.
The above holds true in regard to
the present irrigation propositions
now up for solution by the landown-
ers on the north and south sides of
the Rogue river. Some people, a
very few, have inferred that the
Daily, Courier has been boosting
certain project-possibly to get
something out of it and to the detri-
ment of the other enterprise. In
answer to this charge the Courier
has but one reply to make. This pa
per has not been endeavoring to
work for any particular irrigation
scheme. 1t has no axe to grind.
The manner of getting the
water on the land is question that
should be solved by the landowners
themselves. The Courier has no sre-
cific scheme to offer; but it does
want to see irrigation come to the
Rogue river valley.
A few weeks ago the north side
irrigation project looked very prom
Using of realization. Citizens of
Grants Pass were anxious to see the
proposition go through for the rea-
son that any such move means step
forward, and the landowners were
voted a right-of-way for their ditch
through the city. The Courier,
along with the leading business men
Of the city, advocated granting this
franchise and with others was
willing to do what it could to hasten
irrigation, whether the land to be
watered was north, south, east or
west OF Grants Pass. No certain pro-
ject, but IRRIGATION, is what has
been urged by the Courier. If it is
well to irrigate few acres, then it
is well to irrigate many acres. The
more land brought under irrigation
means bigger and more prosperous
district-but the plan to lead the
water to the soil is the landowners
problem and not the Courier's.
To assert that the Courier is en-
deavoring in a prejudicial way, to
persuade any OF the landowners to
flock to any certain irrigation
scheme is the merest vagary. Only
the overly-suspicious would make
such an assertion-unless it be some
one sorely disappointed because they
were unable to work" the Courier
editor to boost their personal inter
ests.
Let us have irrigation-the more
the better-and lay. aside the ham
mer. A too liberal use of that i'm
plement will unfit any man to con-
duct even his own business.

Why This Sudden Solicitude.

Perhaps no argument the president
has used carried greater weight than
that which, by implication at least,
asserted the league is necessary to fu-
ture business relations of the Ameri-
can business man. And yet none
should have less weight. This concern
for the American business man abroad
is strange indeed. Five years ago
we heard the same authority calmly
telling the American business men
that this government would not i'm
peril the life Of a single national to
defend the speculative investments of
American dollars in other lands. His
secretary of state, in effect, told all
American business men that they
should stay at home and attend to
their own business; that they could
not, in any event, expect "dollar di-
plomacy, meaning that they could
not expect their own government to
afford protection to their. investments
in other lands. And the history of the
in Mexico is final and
convincing proof Of this. Then why
this sudden interest in the interna-
tional affairs Of the American bust
nessman Tulsa (Okla.) World.

Soon after the entrance of. the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to. most
tragic condition and in the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross des-
patched its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over large area.
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an oxcart used
by the Red Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.
