Important' Resolutions Adopt ed ThisAfternoon Large Attendance. ' GEO. M. BROWN SPEAKS Attorney General Enlightens the As semblage to tlie Important Part Farmers Must , Play In the War. The Douglas County Pomona Grange met in special session this morning at the Odd Fellows hall and was largely attended. The morning session was turned over to a longthy business session for members only while this afternoon the doors of the spacious hall were opened wide tp all of those who wished to enter. The meeting was called to order by Worthy Master R. A. Busenbark, who asked that the resolutions practically adopted during the morning be read and in response Fred A. Goff, in his usual pleasing manner proceeded with the reading and at the conclus ion the motion was put before the as semblage for adoption. This motion was quickly seconded and the two resolutions, namely, for objection to the throwing of the O. & C. land grant lands open until after the war and "That the president exercise his authority and set a reasonable price on manufactured goods used In con ducting farms." The business disposed of, Worthy Master Busenbark then called on At torney General Brown for an address, adding that it was not necessary to introduce the speaker as he was known to everybody in the state. (Applause.) Mr. Brown responded nobly and in his capable manner de scribed! the present world conflict, the part we are to play and the part the Germans have been playing for the past 40 years. Mr. Brown's ad dress, which was wholly patriotic, is epitomized in the fololwing extracts: "You farmers are occupying the most important position in our civili zation today." "The producer is the king pin of civilization." "We are living in the most impor tant age. I regard this as the great est criBls in our civilization." "A law was passed in the German reichstag in 1913 whereby a German could become a citizen of another country and still retain his citizen ship in Germany. Little did we dream of these facts." "Germany in the time of peace maintained an army of nearly 4,000, 000 men, forming the best equipped army in the world." "There -is no All Highest among the crowned heads. God is for right and justice, for what America is fight ing, and not hand in hand with murderous kings who strive to drive back civilization in a most barbar ous manner." "Germany has planned this war tho same as would a burglar plan to blow a safe." "I hope that we are now engaged in the last great war that will ever shock humanity, but we are. not sure." "We are at war with a nation that has deliberately planned to plunge the world into war.',' "My country, may she elver be right, my country, right or wrong! are my sentiments." "No stripe, no star, no stick, po tureau ui uur uttg mauus zur any king, any emperor, any czar, any caste, any race, any creed, but free Americans. It does represent states manship of such Americans as Ham ilton, and the greatest man that ever lived George Washington. I regard Washington as the greatest human being that ever lived on earth. My flag and your flag represents the most human, the wisest, the kindliest many ever known Abe Lincoln." Mr. Brown closed his address by saying: "You farmers are going to help our boys, that they shall not per ish on the face of the earth from want of food, in this damnable wsr, and with your help WE WLL WIN. H. S. Gile, of Salem, who was to address the Grange on the loganberry industry this afternoon, for some un accountable reason was unable to ap pear and County Agriculturalist C. J, Hurd spoke of the loganberry and of the profits to be derived the farmer by its cultivation. At the conclusion of Mr. Hurd's short talk the meeting adjourned. The following resolutions were passed by the Grange: WHEREAS, The O. & C. grant lands are to be thrown open the coming summer for settlement, and WHEREAS, This will be a hard ship of the young men of Oregon, as many of them have been called to the front, therefore be it RESOLVED, By Douglas County Pomona Grange that we are in favor of delaying this opening of the O. & C. grant lands until such time as our young men have returned to the state after the close of the war and have an opportunity of filing on these lands. i (Signed) E. H. RUSSELL, E. M. MATTHEWS, C. H. BAILEY, Committee. WHEREAS, The president under authority given him by the congress of the United States, has fixed a minimum price to be paid to farmers for wheat, pork and other staple pro ducts of the farm, and , WfHEREASi We believe this is right and Just and as patriotic farm ers we are entirely in sympathy with ( such acts of congress and the presi- dent as are necessary for proper, prosecution of the war, and ' WHEREAS, The same authority was given to the president over the price of certain commodities such as farm machinery and other things necessary for the proper conducting of our farms and that are necessary to our business, and WHEREAS, There has been no maximum price set upon 'these com modities, therfore be it RESOLVED, That Douglas County Pomona Grange in regular session', this, the 29th day of December, 1917, would ask that the president exercise the authority reposed by the con gress of the United States and set a reasonable and. just price upon such manufactured goods as are necessary lor the most economical conducting of our farms, and FURTHER BE) IT RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to our representatives in con gress and given to the local press ana the Grange Bulletin.
