ROSEBURG, DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON. TUESDAY, FEBRUARV 12, 1918.
No. 37 .
RECALL COMMITTEE
MEETS
COURT
All Matters Brought Before
Them Explained In Fair,
Impartial Manner.
RECALL LOOKS LIKE FAKE
Absolutely No Proof Brought to tlie
Surface That Shows Members of
County Court ore Guilty
of Wrongdoing;.
If there is to be a recall Instituted
ugainst the county court of Douglas
county this afternoon's meeting be
tween the committee recently ap
pointed by President Strong, of the
Taxpayers' League, and County Judge
Marsters and Commissioner 13. F
Nichols, no evidence was brought to
light that would in any way tend to
Hhow hat the county court of this
county had acted otherwise than any
good, sound business man would In
the conduct of his own affairs.
Not a single question propounded
to the county court by various mem
bers of the recall committee went un
challenged very much to the con
trary. Every question was answered
in a fair and Impartial manner de
tails were gone into and the matter
of any alleged or imaginary wrong
done to the taxpayers of this county
was given the minutest attention and
every detAll connected therewith ful
ly explained. "
The county court gave conclusive
and convincing proof that every
I. uiiHuctlon that affected the taxpey
ers, lurgo or small, had been handled
In u business way that redounded at
all times to the greatest good to the
greatest number.
The mater of the $10,000 appro
priation for a partial cruise of the
timber In this county was fully dis
cussed, the matter of all road mon
eys and their disbursements fully ex
plained,' how these latter sums were
being disbursed, the why and where
l'or for all things in connection with
the workings of the county court, and
mill there was no charge mentioned
that woukli cast the slightest reflec
tion on any member of the county
court.
Hut one subject was brodfeht to
light at the meeting this afternoon
that showed whicn way the "wind
was blowing," and this came from
II. R. Uanning, of Deer Creek, who
seemed to be "strong" for a recall
simply because the county court had
not reduced this year's taxes some
two mills. He was against the tim
ber cruise and, seemed perfectly satis
lied to go on paying the timber bar
ons' burdens forever. In fact, ho was
the only member of the recall com
mittee who seemed -to "stand pat" for
a recall--his reasons wouldn't'hohl
wntor but that didn't make any dif
ference, ho was saturated with the
"recall bug" and probably thought
the only way he could' get It out of
his system was to talk t out.
When asked by the. court whether
or not any charges of dishonesty,
misappropriation of' funds, or any
other matters that would affect the
integrity of the court was proposed
by hlmsolf or the committee which
lie was serving, he vehemently de
u led that there was a single charge
of this nature pending.
The whole matter, as summed up
previously by The News, seems to be
nothing more or less than a lot of
public gossip peddled for the pur
pose of creating dissatisfaction
among our people. The growth and
progress not matter in what way, of
the fconnty must be stinted. nA few
individuals have taken It Into their
own hands to accomplish this end and
they are going to leave nothing un
ci 0110 to bring the city and county
Into the list of "has boens."
Unless too recall committee pre
sents further proof than was shown
at the meeting this afternoon that n
recall should .be instituted against
the county court the, whole matter
will fall with a dead, sickening thud

"WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. Just
how Russia's withdrawal from the
war will affect the allies and the
United States in a military way can
not be accurately forecasted at this
time. It would appear on the face
of the situation to give Germany
great numerical snperlorlty.'but mili
tary men are confluent that the lines
will hold up under the contemplat
ed Hun attack, and profess not to
regard the Russian separate pence as
any great menace. The United

ter a second thought. When Mr.
Agee arose this morning and stepped
out on the rear porch of his residence

"working overtime" and to that ex
tent that it had literally burned
through the porch floor immediately
adjoining the walls of the house,
leaving a charred opening several
feet long and the width of the cooker,
which, without doubt, wbuldi have
been fanned Into a good blaze in a
short time had not the discovery
been made. The cooker was prac
tically wrecked by the strong heat
and there will be several "meatless
days" at the Agee home as a conse
quence. AT

Feb. 12. President Wilson's an
nouncement, yesterday, of tne pur
pose of the United States to eman
cipate the world from the threat of
attempted mastery on the part of
selfish .groups of autocratic rulers,
came almost at the same time that
the kaiser is "exulting over, collapse
of opposition to Hun advancement on
the eastern front, and ihe German
monarch alleges that peace will come,
but "victory of German arms must
be recognized." There are many
signs of constantly growing alertness
along the western ( front, where the
Teutons are massing their forces for
the long heralded drive in which they
hope to break down allied defenses
and push on to Paris. Roads are im
proving and raids, are more frequent,
while violent artillery fire along more
important sectors indicate 'that the
Huns are getting ready for an offen
sive movement. Troops from the
Russian front have been brought ov
er to assist in the stupendous effort
that will materialize very soon.
On the Italian front Austrlans
have again failed in attempts .to re
take positions west of Brenta recent
ly captured by Italians. .
Critical Period Reached.
LONDON, Feb.- 12. King Goerge,

T Mhiar nnraernnha of his motion
for a rehearing the self-confessed ad-
mirer of the I. W. W., opponent of
war and conscription, takes exception
to the rulings from the bench.' The
court erred, he declared, In "not in

of not guilty." .' .
Hearing on Ramp's effort to obtain
a new trial will be held before Fed

young man, now at liberty under
$15,000 bond, faces the possibility of
an imprisonment .term for as riiuch
as 20 years if unsuccessful in ob

The letter, which was addressed to

. "The American ' Defense Society

In this world fight for democracy,
the great burden of the struggle ac

borne by labor. In this crisis, as in
all erisises, the temper of , labor de

to all Americans and is proof to the
world of the disinterestedness of the

Our country Is at war. This means
that we, the individual units com
prising the government, have a defin
ite responsibility In co-operating and
hastening the victorious ending of
this struggle. To win it we must be",
a united people, each discharging our
daily personal responsibilities there
by imposed. A single strand of tho
cables whioh uphold the great Brook
lyn suspension bridge is not 'very,
strong, but thousands of these
strands bound together support one .
of the greatest-thoroughfares of the
world an example of personal co
operation. .
Our great army Is being formed to
make soldiers, ships, ammunition,
bread and clothing. Many are offer
ing their lives. Some, very few, will
give nothing. . In between these ex
pressions are hordes of citizens rea(ly
and anxious to help. We are build
ing ships, raising produce for food,
manufacturing articles for the use
in, war andi co-operating in many
ways.
It costs money to wage war. It
Is costing the United States about -$19,
000, 000, 000 per year. There are .
no neutral nations of consequence
left in the world for us to maintain
a trade balance by which we may
help defray the cost of Jhis war. The
government,, therefore,, has nq place .
to go to' borrow funds but 'to us.
Therefore, Chairman I. B. Riddle,
of the Douglas county thrift cam-
paign organization, who will act as
distribution and sales manager for .
this district, together with County ;
Supt. of Schools O. C. Brown, educa
tional' chairman, and Postmaster L.
F. Reizensteln, at a recent meeting
appointed (the following committee
to coordinate in , this Important
worn ot canvassing tne county ior
loans. ' J. E. McCllntock will act as
the executive 'head of the promotion,
section of the committee work; A. C.
Marsters, of the Roseburg National
Bank, will head the commercial sec
tion; Oscar Llndsey, ot the People's
Supply Company, will head the indus
trial section, and Mrs...Wililam Bell
will head the general, social and civic
section of committee work. - . .
County Chairman I. B. Riddle is
soon to call a meeting of the execu
tive committee, for the purpose of di
viding the county into workable units
olid to appoint leaders for each dis
trict. . Each leader In turn will select
workfers in consultation with the
county executivB committee.
War savings societies are to be or
ganized throughout the' county and
where practicable, especially in the
country the school house Vill be used
as a community meeting place by the
war savings societies for discussion,
promotion, war iniormation, econ
omy talks, lectures, etc. ,' , ,
There Is need of haste in selling
war saving stamps:
First, the government needs the
money. Secona, the stamps repre
sent savings, therefore, the sooner
begup, the more saved, for 1918. -
Third, to Becure the allotment to
Oregon of 17,240,000, early sales
must 'be made, and lastly the plan .
is for the masses, more time is re
quired to each of them. "
County School Superintendent O.
C. Brown has already launched the
thrift campaign In the schools. The
children of all ages feel the respon
sibility the government has placed
on them. They have pledged them
selves to loan Uncle Sam at least $20
uuring the year and many of them,
have now exceeded this amount by
many dollars and as a consequence -have
been enrolled In the Junior
.ainbow regiment and furnished
with an achievement pin in acknowl-''
edgment of theli" co-operation and
patriotic endeavor.
Every man,' woman ana cniia in
the county will eventually be solicit
ed to get in line with their savings.
fWe, the United States of America,
are at war with a murderous enemy,
ever ready with a knife thrust. The
government ' must pay for the ser
vices of men, articles or merchandise, .
munitions,, etc;, to carry this strug
gle to a victorious culmination, from
the earnings and savings of its citi
zens, of who you are one. So much
depends upon your co-operation and
saving for this purpose that to buy
unnecessary things or satisfy ex
travagant appetites becomes treason
able to the greatest interests of the
government at war. Loyalty and en
thusiasm are indispensable acquisi
tions just now. Don't spend extrav
agantly, but lend generously, the
government needs the loan. : ,
