ANOTHER WAR MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT.

Of the many extraordinary utter
ances of the White House the latest,
it will be scarcely denied, Is the most
extraordinary. Instead of returning
physical vigor softening the Presi-
dents weakness of temper, his I'M
reasoning acerbity seems to grow.
This time he seems to curse out
practically everybody. Those whose
minds do not in all details go along
with his own-and there are many
such-are prima facie wicked and de-
testible. The brave men, living and
dead, who won the war to protect
their homelands and civilization from
a wolf that was loose, and who sought
peace which would insure the chain
ing of the wolf until its vulpine ma
ture showed signs of change, are in
ferentially condemned as imperialists
who are no better than the Germans
of 1914 to 1918.
In all sobriety the question may
we'll be asked: What right has any
man so to pass judgement on his fell
low beings?" For any one, no matter
how placed, to assume that refusal to
accept his decisions establishing black
ness of heart is to reveal narrow ar
rogance which is rare in human an
nails.
To find parallel one needs go
back to Omar the Caliph, who burned
the Alexandrian library on the theory
that if its books but repeated the
Koran they were unnecessary. Where
as If they disagreed with it they were
vicious. Or to old Procrustes, who
placed those in his power on his bed,
chopping them off if too long or
stretching them out if too short.
Amusement is not lessened by re-
calling that this utterance is from the
same man who said prior to our entry
that he did not know what the war
was about. Truly he did not know.
Seemingly, he never learned. He
never was really cured of his "peace
without victory" idea,-only kept 81
lent with respect to it for time. Here
is the source of his error. The Presi-
dent is so constituted as not to per-
cieve that hope of future peace was
slight if record were not made that
would deter other would-be conquer
ors.
", The net effect of the Presidents di-
plomacy, in both its secret and public
aspects. is to bring almost to distinc-
ton the, high hopes the world enter
tanned eighteen months ago. His &C.
tivities at Paris and since have re-
lighted the fires of the old jealousies
and discords. He says he does not
like the old order, but he has per-
petuated it. He declaims against
balances of power, but he has con-
tributed to creating a condition that
makes such balances practically in
evitable.
1t is not as crusader for piece that
there is world objection to the Presi-
dent, but as fomenter of bad feeling,
and thus of war.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1920-03-18

feeling toward those who took occa-
sion to differ with him. In time of
storm as well as in times of peace, he
always maintained the same attitude
toward his fellowmen. His good name,
his noble deeds, his self-sacrifce for
the people of his State, and his patri-
otism will ever be remembered by not
only his colleagues but by the people
of Maryland. And to those of us who
are still among the living, may we so
live during the remainder of our time
here so that when our life's work is
ended and we cross the swelling tide,
may we strike glad hands with him
on that evergreen shore in the Great
Beyond"

MRS. MINNIE NJ. WEST.

Once more the grim reaper has in
vaded our community and this time
certainly like thief in the night, and
took the life of one of our most highly
and resp ted citizens. While prepar-
ing the evening meal, she was strick-
en-, and her husband who happened to
be near, ran to her side and she fell
into his arms unconscious. A physi-
clan was summoned from Oakland and
the neighbors ran to her assistance
but nothing could be done except to
make her as comfortable as possible.
She never regained consciousness and
death came to her after about seven
hours following the stroke. The news
of her death shocked the whole COM
munity, for she was so well known
and loved by all, having lived in our
midst for over forty years. She was
kind-hearted mother, a devoted wife
and kind and sympathizing neighbor.
She always had the kindest word for
the needy and was always willing to
do more than her part in helping in
any way that would do the most good.
She will be greatly missed. Beside
her husband, z. B. West, she leaves
to mourn two sons, Harry, of Cumber-
land, and Robert, the baby boy; three
daughters, Freda, Myra and Marga-
ret; three brothers and one sister, all
of whom feel the loss of their dear
one. The funeral services were held
by the Rev. Frank McCamic, of Cor
NTH, in the Methodist Episcopal
church, which was filled to its capac-
ity, and the great number of floral
tributes showed the esteem in which
she was held. Her remains were in
TERED in the Deer Park cemetery, be-
side the body of one son who preceded
her three years ago. The bereaved
family have the sympathy of the en-
tire community.
Mrs. West was aged AZ years, 3
months and days.

Heavenly Father to remove from our

One of the well known citizens of
Elk Garden, John Mahlon Burk, pas
sed away March ID, 1920, aged SO
years, 10 months and 25 days. He had
been in failing health for some time,
but still his death was a shock to the
community. The funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. c. j. Racey, as
sisted by Rev. C. E. N. Hill in the
Nethken Hill church, and the inter-
ment was made in the cemetery at
that place The funeral was in charge
of the Odd Fellows and the Knights
of Pythias. The deceased was a mem
Der of these orders and they both
turned out in body. He was twice
married. The children by his first
wife are Mrs. David Schwinabart and
Mrs. James Mason, of Elk Garden,
and Bruner and Joe Burk, of Akron, 0.

there are three girls and one boy, all
small. He is also survived by his
mother and his sisters, Miss Anna
Burk, of Elk Garden, and by three
brothers, C. w. Burk, of Swanton; H.

SEVERAL GOOD PRESIDENTS
WERE ALSO GOOD SOLDIERS

Before the war there was a song
which achieved considerable popular
ity among the peace at any price
folks, entitled, II didn't raise my boy
to be soldier" and now we have its
echo, possibly from the same group,
in the half baked sentiment, eve don't
want a soldier candidate for the pres
idency" The United States has had
the following soldier presidents since
the war of the Rebellion.
Grant
Hayes
Garfield
Mckinley
Harrison
Roosevelt
Can you remember that any of
them, at any time, advocated any
measure intended or calculated to
place the military over the civil power
Of the United States. Taking it "full
and BY" for the long term of years,
was not the Country prosperous and
the Government respected at home
and abroad None of them were
faultless and all of them committed
errors; but they were ali one hun
bred per cent Americans, and to be an
American in those days meant that
the flag protected you wherever you
were. We don't think that the time
has come when service for your coun-
Try is to be punished by deprivation
of the right to aspire to the presi-
dency, nor did we think non-par-
tisan business man has clear road to
the White House. The country is
tired of neutral thinkers who are so
self-centered that they demand the
abolition of party lines, without which
no great political good ever was or
ever can be accomplished.

PHILIP T. CARTWRIGHT.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles May, of the
Park, received the sad news of the
death of Philip T Cartwright, which
occurred in a hospital in Williams
burg, Va. He had been an inmate of
the Soldiers Home at Richmond, Va,
for five years, coming to Mountain
Lake Park in the summer time as long
as his health would permit his travel
ing. He was man liked by all who
knew him and was an active worker
in any movement that might be a ben
eft to the community in which he re-
sided. He was laid to rest in the
beautiful Hollywood cemetery at Rich
mond, among his relatives who had
preceded him. The pail bearers were
eight of his nephews: p. T. Stone,
Robert Stone, Roger Stone, Dibrill
Williams, Thomas Williams Miles G.
Williams, George Williams and w. o.
Conner The funeral services were
held in the chapel and were conducted
by Rev. Jenkins, his pastor, assisted
by Rev. Powell. When a young man
Mr.. Cartwright was affiliated with the
Baptist church and in his declining
years that faith appealed to him most
and it was his delight to attend ser
vices as long as his health permitted
him to do so. He leaves to mourn one
daughter, Mrs. Charles S. May, of
Mountain Lake Park; an aged sister
residing in Kansas City, No, and o
brother who resides in Richmond; also
a number of nieces and nephews who
also reside in Richmond. Had Mr..
Cartwright lived until March 18th he
would have been eighty years of age

COLLEGE MILLACE TAX

One Cause of Crisis is the Remarkable
Increase in Number of Students.
Since the original millage bill went
into effect in 1918, the number of full
time residence students at the Agricul-
tural and the State University has in
creased one hundred and fifty per cent.
At the Agricultural College in 1913,
there We're 1864 fulltime students;
there are now 1878. At the State Uni
versity in 1918, there were 691 fulltime
students, there are now 1745, The insti-
tutions have tried hard to make income
meet maintenance cost in the face of
this remarkable growth but have been
unable to do so.

SOLDIERS EDUCATIONAL AID

The Soldier, Sailor and Marine Edu-
cational Law enacted by the people one
year ago has been taken advantage of
by more returned service men than the
authors Of the bill anticipated.
The annual appropriation of two
tenths of mill on the total taxable
property of the state, which the voters
authorized at the special election, June
8, 1919, for the purpose of aiding the ex-
service men in educational work, will
produce in 1920 the sum of $198, ,087.09.
This is all the money available under
the provisions of the present laws for
the purpose of paying the aid author
lied by the state. Under the terms of
the law, a maximum of $4,000 is al
lowed each ex-service man annually in
the pursuit of educational work. 1t
was supposed that there would not be
to exceed 1900 ex-service men apply
for aid, and that the $198,087.09 pro-
duced annually under the present pro-

Meanwhile Their Income is Further
Reduced by Great Upheaval
of Costs.

Not only has the number of students inS
creased one hundred and fifty per cent,
but in the same seven years the cost of
supplies and equipment has doubled.
(This is not true of faculty salaries,
which have necessarily been increased
very little.) The buying power of the
dollar of 1913 is today about 45 cents.
The experience of the three institutions
has been the same as the experience of
every Oregon family. 1t is as if a family
of four in 1913, with an income of ST.
600, has been increased to family of
ten in 1920 with an income Of 5000. And
with the attendance one and one-half
times as great, and the buying power of
the existing income cut squarely in two,
the millage tax revenue has remained
almost unchanged.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1920-05-18

visions would be more than sufficient
to cover all of the aid asked for by re-
turned service men; and further that
not all of the applicants would ask aid
for the entire year. Instead of such
being the case, there has been filed with
: the Secretary of State, more than 37O0
applications for state aid, under the
terms of the law so generously enacted
by the people of Oregon at the special
election, June 3, 1919. 1t seems that
there yet will be many more who will
take advantage of the law and pursue
courses of study in the various educa-
tiOnal institutions throughout the state.
In view of the fact that the sum of s1ss.os7oe is
grossly inadequate to the educational aid which
the ex-servfce will require to January 1921,
the time Of the next annual state levy of taxes,
special session of the Legislature appropriated an
additional $25O,000 The purpose of the present pro-
osed law is to double the amount which the people
appropriated under the act approved by them. June
8. 1919 so that substantially s40O,O00.OO annually
be raised for 1921, 1922 1928. entire s40o-
10000 will probably be required for furnishing cdu-
cational aid to those ex service who tfkins
advantage of the law.

Pupils in the north side school of
Aledo will not be forced to take
temporary quarters in other build
ings this spring. Because Of the
delay in receiving plans and speci-
fications for the proposed new
building the old school will not be
torn down before the summer vaca-
ton opens. City superintendent of
Schools Ray c. Pellet stated yes
terday that it would not be neces-
sary to follow the plans which had
been formulated for caring for the
students while the building was
being raZed. With the announce
ment that work on tearing down
the building could not be started
for several months, it has been
planned to allow the students to re-
main in their present quarters until
the usual summer vacation. When
school reopens next fall, plans will
have been made for taking care OF
the classes while the new school
building is in the course OF con-
struction.
