THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW.
iB. W Strong, president of the lo
cal Taxpayers" League, will, without
doubt, In the very near future, an
nounce a committee of seven men
whose purpose it will be to ascertain
absolute facts in reference to the
proposed move to recall the county
court of Douglas county.
This committee is to file a written
report with the president and secre
tary of the organization not later
than February 9, so it is quite im
perative that there be no great .ie
lay in making the announcement of
the gentlemen who will investigate
the grounds on which a recall Is to be
based. Their task will not be one
of listening to idle talk the records
of what the court has done must be
specific, backed up by affidavits of
reliable persons the records of each
session of the court will necessarily
have to be closely scrutinized, the
work thoroughly gone Into that fair
ness and an unbiased conclusion be
reached by this committee.
The nasty reflection already cast
upon the county court is not going to
go unchallenged. If the court is
guilty of any wrongdoing the tax
payers want to know it, they demand
that the fullest and minutest detail
be torn open nnd precentedi in a fair,
business-like mannor. It is up to
this committee appointed by the pres
ident of the Taxpayers' League to
make the fullest investigation. And
this investigation will not be of the
"once over" variety It will be
thorough in every particular in jus
tice to all concerned.
If the alleged charges, which to
date are nothing more or less than
mere gossip, develop into any flimsy
channel to press the matter to a final
conclusion, there Is going to be some
wholesome exposures. This move
ment of proposing a recall against
any public official is no child's play.
It directs a nasty reflection against
his business ability and adds a stig
ma to his character that is not easily
eradicated, and in justice Mo all,
friends and foes alike, the plain, un
varnished facts is what the people
demand and must have before any ac
tion will be taken along the line of
recalling the county court. No petty
partisan politics, personal or other
motives will enter into the investiga
tion the wagging tongues o:" the
street-corner gossipeis will be taken
for naught. All must and will be
conducted above board right out In
the open. Then we shall see whether
or not those who were most instru
mental In bringing the recall to an
issue are clothed in a robe of
white, untainted by the blood drip
ping from thq dagger's point that has
pierced the soul of many an innocent
person.
Despite tjic propnhts, the wise
acres, the know-it-alls and the ex
ports, this war, with its various na
tionalities, is keeping the wor'd
guessing.
Possibly Lower California, which
seeks to secede from: Mexico, has

The Prussians are beginning to
show the yellow streak, according to
a British officer visiting in this coun

up in a bully sooner or later, re

The Germans are mad ; because
they have discovered that the kahe :
once said "It I had a people so in
telligent and so patriotic as the Ital
ians I would conquer half the world.'
It is worth at least a rise of 20
degrees in- the thermometer here to
know that the Aljiine passes oetween
Teutonia and Italy are also being
snowed in and frozen In. ..
It seems there are in America a
large number of Germans who, un
able to die for their country, are de
termined to He for it.

APPEAL FROM GOVERNOR
Oregon has responded royally to
President Wilson's appeals for the
Red Cross and the army Y. M. C. A.
lie now asks us to supply generous
aid for the relief of the sufferers in
Asia Minor.
For three years the Armenians and
Jsyrians have passed through untold
sufferings in massacre, deportation
and starvation. The only agency
that has ben able to help the buf
fering survivors is the American peo
ple. American relief money distribut
ed by Americans still remaining on
the field has been the means of keep
ing thousands alive.
Reports of American diplomatic
and consular agents and other
American residents who have recent
ly returned from western Asia indi
cate that the 2 V4 million survivors,
mostly women and children, of whom
4J0.000 are orphans,"1 are on the
verge of death by starvation unless
they receive immediate help. Exil
ed from home, robbed of their pos
sessions, wandering in a desolate
land, their only hope for the barest
necessities of life is in Ameri -an
charity.
In view of the fact that govern
ment aid is impossible and that
American generosity Is the only
means of keeping these starving peo
ple alive, I appeal to the sympathy
of the people of Oregon to contribute
generously through the Oregon com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian re
lief, Ben Selling, treasurer, Portland,
Oregon.

AnERTHEWAR,WHAT?
AT LIBERTY THEATRE
The lecture tomorrow night on
"After the War, What?" at the Lib
erty theatre (formerly known as the
Palace theatre) by Dr. E. S. Muck
ley, of Portland, promises to be of
special interest to the people of Rose
burg. Dr. Muckley is not promising
that everybody will agree with his
positions. There are great problems
and dangers ahead. Reconstructions
periods such as will follow the war
are always fraught with peril. Dr.
Muckley is trying to do his part in
starting the people to think about
these problems and dangers. For
the people will have to solve them.
This lecture whs delivered at
Klamath Falls last week. The Even
ing Record said of it:
"That government ownership of
railroads and public utilities will be
one of the results of the great world
war now raging, was declared by Dr.
Muckley, of Portland, in his most in
teresting lecture delivered at Hous
ton opera house last night. A large
audience greeted the speaker whose
discussion of the subject "After the
War, What?" showed extensive
study of the big problems of the
present crisis."
Mrs. Robert Kldd will sing two
popular numbers, "A Bowl of Roses"
and "Keep the Home Fires Burn

ready demonstrated their ability to
make six times as many calls and
have practically tripled their orders
at a much decreased cost by the use
of passenger cars.
"I can cite another Interesting in
stance where service men are utilized
in the dual capacity of. salesmen. A
big phonograph house has the custom
or sending a mechanic at certain in
tervals to adjust instruments and
forestall any possible service com
plaints. Later this firm developed
tne idea oi having the mechanic sue
gest a list of trial orders on the new
popular records. This" plan worked
out so successfully that it not only
cut out the service expense, but actu
ally brought in a profit.
"In this case, the war brought
about a decrease in the force which
again was met by the use of automo
biles. Tho manager reports to me
that although he has had to dispense
with half of bis men, the automobile
has already duplicated the firm's
former profit on tho Investment.
"There are so many hundreds of
lines of business to which the auto
mobile process can be applied as a
time-saver and labor-saver that its
utility is going to be more pronounc
ed than ever in bolstering up the
scarcity ol trained men.
