LS IT PROFIT!:FF.T NG
According to late reports the e is a tentative
plan on foot whereby the ir.v 'station com
panies doing business in Ala kn. . e to raise pas
senger rates. Is such action just; able?
Monday evening, a business man in rne of our
neighboring towns, returning fv ra a visit to the
states stated that he had to wait a week inSeat
tie before he could get pa sa e ' his home. He
further stated that he had learned at the various
offices that there were nearly i\ hundred per
sons whose names appeared on :he waiting list
for accommodation. Some personal and
intimate friends were among ;U r. who told him
that they could not pcssib’y i up before the
first part of April on accour * : ;ok of accom
modation.
From that, if the companies re another raise
they cannot give the excuse of k of business.
If they are doing all the busine they can do.
on the face of it. it would seem that the con
templated raise is unjustifiable mcl savors of
profiteering.
PLENTY OF TIMBE1
Looking down the list cf nar s
candidates at the coming muni,
the various offices in the l eal
find plenty of timber and appo
timber at that. Some of them h:

Others, while they have had

yet time for
those pacifists who crawled into their holes in
April 1917, to crawl out and tell how to end the
war in which they refused to help.—Oregonian
WOULDN’T IT JAR YOU?
Let us explain to his best advantage the out
raged sentiments of Secretary of war Baker,
who refuses to allow Senator Chamberlain to
go to Europe on the same ship with him at gov
eminent expense. Put yourself in his place. If
you were a selfeducated, hardboiled pacifist, and
if a freak of fate, through the semi humorous
act on an indulgent president, you became secre
tary of war, and if you had a tender regard for
slackers- and if you had released several hundred
of them from deserved and lawful convenient
in prison, with the gift of large amounts of
money, new clothing and the implied apologies
of a remorseful government; and if you had sent
a secret memorandum to various subordinates
directing them to be easy on all rebellious and
unpatriotic pacifists subject to military duty;
and if these gentle acts of a gentle nature and a
pussyfoot war administration, and other acts
like them were made public; and if some of them
were to be put in the record by the heartless and
unfeeling chairman of the senate military affairs
committee Mr Chamberlain— wouldn't it make
you mad?
You would prefer of course, the appreciative
company of your own kind. You would nominate
a kindred soul like chairman Dent of the house
military committe to be your companion on your
journey to Europe, where you would expect him
to spread the seeds of the great Baker doctrine
of forgiveness for all shirkers and cowards for
the enlightenment of the less humane war de
partments of our beloved allies.—Oregonian
IS YOUR LIFE A HARD ONE?
Do you people at home feel at times that this
war has made your life pretty hard. Read what
an American correspondent writes about one of
our boys w-ho had beeen doing his duty.
“In a little field hospital west of Montdidier
I stopped at the bedside of an American boy, one
of those victims of the German mustard gas
with which the Huns are making all their pre
sent gains. Hih eyes were matted with yellow
pus and he could not see. His face was etrribly
burned. His lips w-ere swollen and purple. His
whole body had been turned the color of an in
dian. and portion of it looked like melted flesh
as though it had been liquified.
•The fighting had been renewed all along the
American lines, and German wounded had begun
coming into our hospitals. I said to this soldier:
“ ‘The boys are getting their revenge for you
fellows tonight.’ He smiled through his seared
lips and in a voice so faint that I had to bend
down to listen, he gasped* ’God! I wish I was
back there with ’em!” ’
Do you still think your life a hard one?
Help that boy and the hundreds of thousands
of others doing their duty. Buy w-ar saving
stamps to the limit of your capacity.
