Look Out For More Propa-
ganda.

No doubt our readers have heard
of a recent hullabaloo in New York
against our modern American histor-
les as written by some very able
American college professors.
Don't worry over it folks. It's all
propaganda The earmarks of prop
aganda are all over it.
New York is the home of propa-
ganda; you may be sure that when
a bunch Of fellows anywhere in the
United States get ready to spring
some doctrine or scheme on US sim
pie. folk, they start it in New York
with huge clouds Of smoke by day
and lots Of fireworks in some big hal
by night.
People Of common sense whit
think, know that the farther timt
moves away from some historica
event, the more truthful must tht
histories of that event become. Tha
is because prejudices die with tn
generations that were intimatel,
concerned with the event. 1t is nov
about l40 years since the American
revolution was fought and it is pret
tv safe to say that histories write
bv American scholars in the las
quarter OF a century are more truth
full than those that went before an
which propagandists would now lik
to foist upon us again.
1t is also enough to say that tn
Daughters Of the Revolution approv
the histories attacked.

Booth Must Not Resign.

Rumors that i'll health ard over
work have caused Robert A. Booth
to consider resigning from the state
highway commission have reached
Portland from his home city. The
Eugene reports aver that Senator
Booth thinks he should allow some
younger man 10 be appointed to the
commission.
The Telegram joins with tens of
thousands of Oregon citizens in hop
ing that Mr. Booth will not quit the
commission that he has honored so
long and on which he has unselfshly
done such great work for the state.
No other man in Oregon knows the
states highway needs as does the
chairman of the commission.
He has gone over every lane and
path in Oregon that may some day
become a real road. He has jour
neyed over our main highways time
after time, spending a great deal of
his own money and many days in
studying first hand the needs of each
community and the best routes for
main roads. The distance from the
Jones farm to Sheepskin hollow by
the low road and the miles by the
| hill line are as we'll known to him
as to the rangers who have herded
over the territory for a decade
Chairman Booth knows because he
has gone over the roads. He walks
rides horseback or takes an automo-
bile over every proposed route, He
studies maps, reads engineers plans
and then goes out to see for himself
In this way, much valuable time is
saved at every meeting of the state
highway commission. There is nc
lost motion showing hills and dale'
on the county map. The visiting dele
cations, when they address Chairman
Booth, can talk to the point-ht
knows the road, the crossings anC
the interior difficulties that confron
builders and taxpayers.
A high-minded, intelligent ant
practical man in public service is
gem of great price and greatly to bt
priced by the state. Mr.. Booth il
such a man. Mr.. Booths services
must not be lost to the commission
and the state.-Potldnd Telegram

Whisky Before and After.

The minority has perfect right in
this democracy to try to turn a ma
joriy against prohibition, but let's
have no misunderstanding about the
chief argument of the vets in their
fight to overthrow the Eighteenth
Amendment, to-wit:
That bootleg whiskey is so bad
that it is better for this nation to go
back TO prohibition whiskey"
The pot calling the kettle black.
The whiskey made by the profteer-
ing 'distillers' during the last quar-
ter of a century of wetness was fully
as villianous as the stuff they sell to-
day. The only difference is that the
public does not know what was hap
pening from about 1890 to 1919.
Just as many men fell, poisoned, on
the streets and in police stations but
nobody paid any attention to it in the
cities, They were just drunk"
Listen to what the official United
States government census for 1900
said Twelfth Census):
MOST mote that most) of the
distilled liquors consumed as a
| BEVERAGE by the American peo-
pie pass through rectifying houses,
| The different classes Of rectified
| spirits range from the CHEAPEST
CONCOCTIONS of natural spirits
and DRUGS to the simple blending
| of young and old whiskey."
That was 2l years ago. MOST oI
the liquors were that way then. lr
the next Is years ALL OF THEN
became rottener and viler and more
poisonous. Whiskey drinkers were
told that blending" and "rectifying'
made the whisky better and they be
lieved it BECAUSE THEY WANT
/ ED TO BELIEVE IT. The truth wa
that blended whiskey contained
all the poisons that is in newly dis
titled whisky, and "rectifed" whisk,
contained small quantities of rea
whisky to which was added raw spir
its, colored water and drugs. NJ
wonder drunkenness and boozt
deaths increased nightly every year
No wonder prohibition came.
And all for the benefit of thieving
murderous profteers who cleaned
up untold millions every year ane
who posed as respectable citizens
The doggery saloon keeper was
paragon of virtue beside them.
But, anyway, let nobody tell yol
that bootleg whisky of today is an!
worse than the poisonous chemical
men drank for 10 years before tn
18th amendment.

Will Irish Bonds be Offered?

Final ratification of the covenant
between Ireland and Great Britain
will probably be followed promptly

bonds Of the Irish Free State. AS

land. With an area of 32,5S6 square
miles (not including Ulster), or
slightly more than one-third that of
the state of Oregon, Ireland had,
according to the 1911 census, 4,393,-
900 popuation, ranking fifth in size
and third in white population among
the British self-governing dominions.
Alone among these many divisions,
Ireland has shown steady decline
in population, dropping from SITS
900 in lS4l. During the 60 years
from 1851 to 1911, more than 4, l90,-
900 emigrated to other countries
Ireland possesses 3403 miles of rail-
way and S37 miles of navigable wa
terways. Agriculture is the domin-
ant industry, and potatoes are Of
course, the chief crop. The pro.
duction in 1918 amounted to 1885,,
900 tons. Of flax, Ireland produces
less than one-ffth of the require.

Special Dispatch to The Star
OTTAWA. Ont. November l.-Ohi-
cial announcement of the appointment
of Sir Charles Fitzpatrick as Canadian
minister to the United States will be
made within the next few days.
The change in the government of
Great Britain is responsible for this
decision, which must have a very ma
terial effect on the relations between
the Dominion and the United States.
Premier King and his lieutenants, it
is understood. fear that the new Brit

the foreign policy that has been in
effec' would more or less ignore the
many pressing diplomatic matters
pending between Canada and Wash
ington, such as the modernization of
the Rush Bagot treaty, and have be-
come convinced that establishment of
their own channels Of communication
Is an immediate essential.
Expense of Legation.
For the last two years the Domin-
ion estimates have contained provi-
sions for the expense Of creating the
new legation and all political parties
are committed to the principle. The

has been strong opponent of the
plan and Is in Ottawa today, let it
be known that he has Withdrawn that
opposition, and he expressed himself
as now favorable to the appointment.
While he has denied that he has any
official engagements here, there is a
strong suspicion that the King min
istry invited him to discuss the new
arrangement and present him with
'fait accompli." Fitzpatrick himself
has been in Ottawa over the week
end in consultation with members Of
the administration.
There will be strong opposition
voiced to the selection. The imperial

FEDERAL CLERKS
GET TINE TO VOTE
Leaves of Absence Assured
Those Who Wish to At
tend Elections.

Practically every department and
bureau head in the government has
given assurance that leave of absence
will be granted to those employees
who wish to return to their home
state to vote in the elections next
Tuesday.
In making this known at the re-
publican state voters campaign head
quarters. 1912 G street. it was ex-
planned that while more than thirty
states have laws permitting voting by
mail and by affidavit it Is estimated
that there are more than 5000 men
and women in Washington who are
legally entitled to cast their ballot
in those states that do not extend the
mail privilege. Although it is said to
be difficult matter at this time to
make a definite claim. officers at the
voters headquarters here believe that
at least 5000 or 1000 persons will go
home TO vote next week.
Special Orders Issued.
In some of the government depart
mentS special orders have been is
sued announcing that requests for leaves
of absence TO vote have been posted and
cirCulariZed among the employees. In
the case of one department it has
been provided that the employees in
the various field services of the de-
partment who desire to vote where
they are employed will be excused a
reasonable time on election day for
that purpose, without charge against
the authorized annual leave. The al
