Meanwhile the country is justified in paying scant atten tion to amendments suggested by those in the pro-German camp. La Follette among others has placed himself in the light of opposing the war and of opposing necessary steps towards its successful prosecu tion. Until he can give distinct and absolutely uncertain proof of his Americanism he is en titled to no consideration. Whatever may be the merits or demerits of this or that re venue raising pfan there can be no questioning the fact the law should be written by men who first, last and all the time are committed heart and soul to winning the war. Beware of pacifists and the dema gogues. A SQUARE DEAL FOR OUR FIGHTING MEN HE Administration Soldi ers' Insurance Bill was drawn up by Judge Juli an Mack of Chicago and has been described as a model of clear, concise and detailed pro vision for all contingencies growing out of service in the war. It is all of that, as will appear from a reading of Judge Mack's exposition in The 'Sunday World. t First to be cleared up is the matter of life insurance for the soldier. What the peace-time hazards to life are is known. They make the cost of insur ance at the average soldier's age ?8 a year per $1,000. and it is the plan of this bill to make the soldier bear that cost ! from his monthly pay. and he Jean carrv as little as $1,000 or as much as $10,000 of insur ance at this rate. If the soldiei survives the war he can con vert this term insurance into u level-premium policy and still have the risk carried by the government without those ex cessive charges for hijrh office salaries and agency expenses which are more or less the ine vitable infliction of private life insurance. Just what will be the extra war-time hazards to the soldi er s me cannot be known in advance. But they are high enough to put insurance with private companies beyond his reach, and these costs will be borne by the public treasury. This is the most important part of what Judge Mack calls the plan "to give a square dealf to our fighting men.

It is rightly called a "square deal." In generosity ana squareness it is beyond all pre cedent for any government. It is a pension plan systematized and known of in advance and independent of the favors and caprices ot pontics, mere should be no question of its ad option.

Ap parently the street sprinklei visits these streets about once a week. Meanwhile every passing auto or vehicle raises a cloud of dust that covers the neighborhood. The situation is a reproach to Pendleton and those in charge of affairs. Ade quate steps should be taken to sprinkle the streets. Where there's a will there's a way.

I have just returned from Hingham, Mont., after hav ing sold my customers as usual. Will say th&t I invite all those who criticise the purchasing of Montana lands as an investment, also the prospective land buyer who is looking for a good investment from a dividend paying standpoint to go and see these lands as they are no.w. Certain people have censured me and made the statement a few months ago, that I would only show these lands while the grass was green. Naturally the grass is not green at this time and the grain is being harvested and you can see the crops as they stand upon the fields. I invite you to make a trip to Hingham with me, and be convinced that my statements have been absolutely cor rect. See this land at its worst, that is all we ask. Do you not think we are fair? We are sure, however, that you will be convinced after investigating THAT DELAY MEANS INCREASE IN COST in the price of the lands. Join us on a trip to Hingham, only a day and a hairs journey, it will be a profitable trip and a delightful vacation.
