"A carefully considered bill will be
presented. which ought to have most
thoughtful consideration in order that
Congress may adopt a measure that
will be hereafter a model for all parts
of the Union
With reference to the coal situation
the President speaks with some bitter
ness, saying: "At present the National
Government has little or no authority
to deal with this vital necessity of the
life of the country. 1t has permitted
itself to remain so powerless that its
only attitude must be humble suppli
cation
Reasserting the vital need Of main
tanning a merchant marine, the PreSi-
dent declares that "all the investiga-
tons which have been made under my
direction, and those which have been
made Independently, have reached the
conclusion that the fleet should be
under the direct control of a single
executive head, while the Shipping
Board should exercise it's functions in
accordance with it's original concep-
ton.
II do not advocate the elimination
of regional considerations, but it has
become apparent that without cen
tralized executive action the manage
| ment of this great business, like the
management Of any other great busi-
ness, will founder in incapacity and
ianguish under division of council"
The Presidents concluding para
graph is typical of his conceptions
Of Government and the Divine author
ity. In it he says:
THE Government of the United
States has been created by the
people. 1t is solely responsible to
them. 1t will be most successful if
it is conducted solely for their benefit.
All it's efforts would be of little avail
unless they brought more justice,
more enlightenment, more happiness
and more prosperity into the home.
This means an opportunity to OBJ
serve religion, secure education and
earn living under reign of law
and order. 1t is the growth of the
material and spiritual life of the Ma
ton. We shall not be able to gain
these ends merely by our own action.
If they come at all it will be because
we have been willing to work in
harmony with the abiding purpose of
a. Divine Proyidence.'

Many persons who came to scoff
at those who fought bolshevism two,
four and six years ago have remained
to pray that bolshevism may some
how be rooted out of their own fire.
sides.
There were those who used to say,
"Oh, let 'em alone; they ought to be
allowed to talk all they want to-" and
there was gentle and broad-minded
| Gas it is called) tolerance for the soviet
agitators.
1t is all very interesting to look
back upon. And perhaps it has its
lesson for those who are willing to
look back.
Two of the largest trade union or
ganizations in America for a long
time maintained this attitude of toll
erance. At least, they thought it was
plain darned foolishness. For now
they are compelled to fight almosa a
life and death battle to clean COM
munism out of their ranks.
One important phase of communist
agitation now dawns on many who re-
fused to see it when the fight was
young. 1t is that the communists or.
ganize as we'll as talk.
L
And the organizations of reds with
in the trade unions sting like a SER
pent held to the breast. They warmed
the poor snake in the winter of its
comparative weakness, and now they
know what the bite is like.
Well, it is not given to everyone to
be as far-sighted as Samuel Com
lpers was. His voice was raised the
moment the communists came into
power in Russia.
There is a good thing to remember
just now.
/ The communists will never over
throw American institutions. They
will never overthrow American trade
unionism. That is what the tolerant
ones said six years ago. It was true,
and it is true, but it was and is true
only because there was leadership
back in the early days of the fight that
saw the danger and because there is a
leadership today that sees and under,
stands the danger.
-
The reds have had lot of good
friends. They still have them. Some
of them are concession hunters. Some
of them are spot-lighters. Some Of
them are added in the brain.
Just recently newspapers reported
former Governor James P. Goodrich,
of Indiana; Colonel William p. Has
kell, formerly Of the American Relief
Administration, and DR.. Frank A.
Colder, of Leland Stanford Univer-
sity, as having arrived in Leningrad
to attend congress of scientists.
Now here is the news germ in those
stories: Col. Haskell told reporters
that establishment of full relations
between America and the soviets de-
pended entirely upon soviet recogni-
tion of the Russian pre-war debt.
Haskell is not in doubt about it.
He is positive.

WATER WILL BE OUT
BEGINNING OF WEEK
Weed and Moss Growth Come Earlier
This Year Canal Dry
for Three Days

Water will be turned out of the
canals of the Columbia Irrigation
District next Monday, June 18th, to
kill the weeds and moss. The season
generally is somewhat ahead of the
last two years and the water weeds
have also appeared earlier. 1t is be-
lieved that better results will be Sc
cured by turning off few days ear
lier, not letting the condition of the
canals get so bad as heretofore, than
by hanging on to the last possible
day and enduring a period of short
water and service interrupted by
moss choke-ups.
So, all growers should get their
potatoes and soft crops watered up
before Monday. Water will be off
about three days, as usual.
