FRIDAY, DECEMBER 38, 1017.
ALL DOING THEIR B"IT.
The (News has not censured indi
vidual members of the railway
brotherhood, nor cast any reflection
upon them as patriotic citizens. We
recognize the fact that many of the
men employed by the companies have
responded generously to the call to
the colors, and are just as patriotic
as any other individuals. Due credit
is given them for the part they are
playing In this war. What tnis paper
has had to say referred to the strike
situation, generally, and dealt not
only with past and threatened future
labor troubles of the railways, but
also with similar agitation among
steel workers, shipbuilders, mill
employes and telephone operators.
In voicing opposition to strikes The
News gives expression to universal
feeling outside of the organzatons
concerned, and further, many mem
bers of the labor bodies throughout
the country are opposed to strikes,
as votes on the question show. The
last demand made upon the railway
companies by the four brotherhoods
was for fulfillment of agreement
made by the railway managers with
employes concerning certain obliga
tion, and not for a raise ot salaries,
and' no settlement has yet been
made. There is still due the men,
since the eight hour law went into
effect, wages that have not been set
tled by the companies. It may further
be said that the four brotherhoods
have never entered into any sympa
thetic strikes, and they have no con
nection whatever with the American
Fedration of Labor.
Now that the government has
taken control of the railroads of the
nation all matters affecting the em
ployes will undoubtedly be itaken
into consideration and adjusteu In
a way that will Insure better work
ing conditions for all concerned and
give to those deserving more liberal
compensation for their efforts what
rightfully belongs to them. It Is not
only received with satisfaction by
the people generally that the gov
eminent has taken over the railroads
but by the employes as well, who
fully realize that the action will re
dound with satisfaction to all con
cerned.
SHUN THE ENEMY AT HOME.
The Saturday Evening Post under
the heading, "The War in Your
Town," sounds a warning against
the disloyal neighbor1, and calls upon
the American people to cut . off all
ties with the enemy at home. The
editor says:
"Months of unchecked paclfiat
mouthlngs, not unlike those we hear
today, paved the inevitable way for
the draft riots in 1863, which for
days held New York city in the vio
lent grip of bloody anarchy. Today
the most dangerous of our enemies
are the half-secret ones of our own
household. They come and go at
will among us. Some spy out and
report oun military preparations;
others foment strikes, set class
against class, preach pacifism and
pessimism and poison the springs
of public thought. Thousands of
these traitors take the kaiser's dirty
dollar. Other thousands are merely
half-baker perverts whose rewards
are akin to those of the witless crea
ture who sets fire to a tenement for
the pleasure of hearing an alarm
rung and witnessing the noisy con
fusion of a fire.
"The menace from enemies at
home is steadily increasing; the
scope of their activities is steadily
broadening. The department of
justice can cope with those who
commit certain overt acts, but It can
not lay by the heels the gum-shoe
disloyalists who are sheltered by the
very constitution of the nation they
would destroy.
"If you know your left hand) from
your right you can tell Prussianism
from Americanism. When you find
a disloyal neighbor whom you can't
send to Jail, send him to Conventry.
Shun him as if he had small pox.
Kee,p out of his house and keep him
out of yours. Let him see that he
stands discredited and disgraced
that he is unfit company for loyal
Americans. Let him be socially in
terned, cut off from all speech and
traffic with decent men and women.
"If every true American will
sever all ties with the enemy at
home the result will go further to
ward winning .the war than would
the annihilation of half a dozen
German army corps.
COMMUNITY CO-OPERATION.
upon us, hardly any other element
outside the home touches the lives of
our children so intimately and so fre
quently. Our friends are a great
possible Influence for good or harm
in the lives of our children; and the
extent io which we shall allow them
to influence us, In handling our chil
dren, and the extent to which they
shall directly .influence our children,
constitute one of our gravest prob7
lems and concerns. .,
r The facing of this problem re
quires that we must know our friends
must study them, from the stand
point of the best . interest of our
children.
First, we must rid ourselves of
the conventional ideas of what Is due
one's friends of that fear of "what
will Mrs. Blank think;" and for them
we must substitute, as our foremost
consideration, the happiness and well
being of our children.
If this be our first consideration,
if we know our children, and If we
have tact, many of the harmful ways
in which our friends thoughtlessly
touch our children's lives can easily
be avoided. Even so seemingly tri-.
vial a situation as a friend calling at
a time that interferes with a child's
eager expectations. can easily be met
in a manner so that no one is hurt or
disappointed!. "This is my afternoon
with John, and we have planned a
very special party" this said gra
ciously with some light elaboration
or emphasis appropriate to the pro
ject, and with the manner of continu
ing immediately, will save the situa
tion for the child, and can not pos
sibly give offense to any sensible
friend. As a rule, if we proceed in
the right manner, we will suffer no
loss in friendship. But considera
tion for our children must always
come first.
We have declared war against
Austria-Hungary, but we clearly in
form the world that we regard her
merely as the tool of Germany. Why
not declare war on the whole bag of
tools?

Even the Austrians denounce the
Bulgarians for their atrocities. It
seems that there still are some
things that are horrible enough to

The state of California has ap
propriated $40,000 for the extermina
tion of squirrels, gophers and "other
rodents." Let us hopo by other
rodents" is meant the I. W. W., the
pacifist, the bomb planter, the hy
phenate, the food speculator, and the
fellow who Invents and circulates
malicious reports of the army and
navy, and who places one straw in
the way of our boys In camp or at
the front. There are many "ro
dents" and! they are hindering our
plans for carrying on the war.
Brazil is to send six of its best

Just what is community co-operation
anyhow? Who does it benefit?
How does it help the individual?
Let us see. Any community whose
residents band together and through
the strength of their combined effort
accomplish things from which all are
benefited is practicing community co
operation. If this community spirit
ths working of each for the good
of all is continued harmoniously
the result in the long run is bound to
be good for all.
Villages, towns andi communities
are rated as "live" or "dead" ac
cording to the rate of development
they show. One man or one family
can not make a community progres
sive. It takes a majority. You can
not take the attitude of Indifference
if you- wish to see your home town
classed as a live town. The harder
you and all your neighbors fight for
progress the surer you are to reap
the good that progressive team work
brings. A good, wide-awake town
is a sure sign of. public-spirited,
wide-awake citizens living in it and
around t.
The spirit of "let well enough
alone" never accomplished anything,
The spirit of "let's make things bet
ter" Is a sovereign remedy against
retrogression.
One way of bettering your home
town is open always and to all. This
is it. Keep your trade as nearly.as
may be In your own town. As' we
nave pointed out before a good por
tion of every dollar spent in your
local stores helps in the support and
developmnet of your own neighbor
hood. Increased local business makes
possible more public conveniences
more educational, religious and social
advantages, and, as a national conse
quence, increases individual oppor
tunity and wealth. Oregon Farmer.

A comrade of the G. A. R.
Stood by a youthful friend,
Who late had joined the ranks
war,
Our colors to dlefend.
Said he, "That starry flag, my boy,
I loved when but a child,
And when a youth with eager joy,
I crossed the ocean, wild,
Allegiance to this flag to swear,
And fight beneath its colors fair.
Fain would we join the ranks again
And cross the sea with you,
To prove the way for freedoms train
We older boys in blue,
To save our own and other lands '
From the most wretched fate
Of being slaves to tyrant bands,
Who rule by fear and hate;
But time has taken toll and we,
(No more can freedom's warriors
be.
This flag we now bequeath to you
In freedom's holy name
Dishonor's stain it never knew,
Preserve it still the same.
The flag for which your fathers
fought
Andl starved in prison pen,
With honors new may it be fought
In hands oi younger men,
While you your country s flag de
fend,
For you your country's prayers
ascend.
And know with every gallant charge,
Yon make throughout this war,
With you in spirit strong and large
Will march the G. A. R.
God bless and keep our soldier boys,
And make them brave and strong,
And send them back to fireside joys,
To home and friends ere long."
The youth accepts the charge and he
True to the sacred trust will be.
