AVKDXESDAY, FEBRUARYlg, 1918
KKCAIJi PASSES INTO HISTORY.
The recall bugaboo has passed Into
history. , Not a Bingle, solitary
charge is embodied In the report sub
mitted by the committee that would
In any way cast a reflection on the
Integrity of the county court evi
dence that there was much gossip and
Juggling of facts that led . up to this
recall propaganda.
The News waB positive from the
very beginning that the recall "bunk"
had Incubated In the minds of a few
who had their own personal ends to
serve. Before ever entering into the
discussion of the matter a wews rep
resentative appeared before the mem
bers of the county court and explain
ed to them that it was not the policy
of this paper to condone the offense
of any official that had any busi
ness transaction occurred, "of what
ever nature, that affected the tax
payers of this county to that extent
that it could be Bhown the court In
any way had misrepresented or over
ridden their official duty, the public
would be apprised of these facts
regardless of friendship and politics.
To this declaration the members
np tlia nnnntv onnrt finked that the
fullest investigation be 'made that
they were not infallible, probably a
few minor errors had been made in
the conduct of the county s atrairs
but as to any grave offense the rec
okHh would stand the closest scrutiny
And now you have the report of
seven reliable and substantial tax
payers of the county to verify the
county court's truthfulness when this
foody states its conduct of the coun
ty's affairs was an open book above
board in every single instance.
The committee's recommendations
to the future conduct of the county's
affairs does not cast the slightest re
flection on the present court. The
recommendations are there but in
no Instance is any remedy advanced,
any advice given, how the county's
RffnlrH could be conducted in a more
perfect manner man iney are ai wit
present time, and probably had all
the men who served on this commit
tee had the actual experience of con
ducting the business coming before
the court rrom time to time tneir
recommendations would have been
TiintAi1nllv ohnnfpH However, all of
this Is of no importance regarding
tile recall issue.
The recall has been stilled the
"ugly rumors" so frequently spoken
by some wiseacres whose sole purpose
was to throw the community into a
fit of anger have disappeared like
the morning dew under the bright
rays of a midsummer sun--the power
behind the throne has sunken Into
oblivion his few scattering lieuten
ants who have 'been on patrol duty
have torn off their masks and, thank
the Lord for small favors, we can all
get down to business again and pull
good and strong for the good of the
community.
tience Is the most solid foundation
for their tuture welfare. The rod Is
all right In extreme cases, but don't
get the habit of carrying It over your
child's head from the time he pulls
his shoes on in the morning until
he Is "shoved" Into his bed at night.
Ninety per cent of the boys who "go
A-rong" get their schooling tor devil'
nient close to the family tree. You
might keep them cowed while under
your surveillance, but look out for
the results when they leave the fam
ily roof. .
For real, constructive accomplish
ments the Roseburg Commercial
club during the past year nas done a
great work not of" the circus band
variety but work that will bring fu
ture returns of a substantial nature
to the county at large. The policy of
the officers has been one not of elab
oration, very much to the contrary,
The plain truthB' and actual facts
have always been the policy in the
conduct of the club's affairs, no ex
aggeratlons of any nature have been
tolerated. This has resulted in
bringing many new people to the
community who have found condi
tions actually better than represent
ed a revelation that makes them
feel moBt kindly toward the com
munity. TRAINING.
' James Emery, 16 years of age and
coming from Cottullle City, was "pick
ed up" in this city yesterday after
noon by Marshal Shnmbrook. The
boy looked very much as if he had
discovered a few ups and downs be
fore reaching this city in other
words was considerably fagged out.
Inst end of taking the young man
and throwing him In the city jail.
Officer Shnmbrook gave him a
"healthy feed," had him cleaned up,
shoes shined, gavo him a good, warm
bed for the night, and this morning
the youngster had the appearance of
looking on the bright side of life.
The treatment seemed a revelation
to him, the hand of kindness extend
ed Instead of a kick made the world
look brighter and more cheerful, and
his appreciation of the acts of charity
extended to him was fully spoken in
his beaming countenance this l.i.-viv
Ing. How much better this old world
would be If the homes of thousands
of boys could only have tho spark
oi love kindled in their minds as has
boon Bhown in the case of this young
.man. The father or mother who has
the responsibility placed upon them
of bringing their sons and daugh
ters Into womanhood and manhood
should bear in mind that love and pa-
Elght hours a day, marching in the
sun; '
Arms and legs are weary before the
day is done;
Arms and legs are weary, but grow
ing hard and fit,
And soon t shall be prepared to do
my little bit. .
Dust clouds are drifting, fanned by
marching feet,
Persplratiqn flowing, toiling in the
heat;
Tired feet are dragging towards the
close of day,
But through the grime and dust I
hear the grim old sergeant say
Squads left; squads right;
Right front Into line;
If yon don't wake up
I'll give you double time.
Squads right; squads left; right
front Into line;
Port arms! Present arms! Now
you're doing fine.
Right dress! Parade rest! Forward
double time!
Now my bully doughboys, get right In
and climb,
So It goes from morn till night; as
skirmlshors, or load;
Rain or shine, right Into line, or hlk
ing down the road.
Muscles all are aching, I want to hit
the hay,
But through the grime and dust 1
hear the grim old sergeant say:
Pick your feet up lively, men,
Watch your bloomin' step;
You'll never get the kaiser
Unless you show more pep.
Squads right; squads left;
Right front into line;
If you don't wake up
. . I'll give you double time.
That heartless hard old sergeant is
made of steel and tan;
He never rests, he never tires, he's
every inch a man;
Though scarcely older he than I, the
best I ve ever seen,
Because of mind and body trained,
because his life is clean.
But I am gaining day by day, and
soon expect to be
As sound of limb, as stout of heart,
and just as fit as he.
The mess call finds me always there,
and always glad and gay!
My sleep is sound, but In my dreams
hear the sergeant say:
Squads right; squads left;
Right front into line;
If you don't wake up
I'll give you double time.

ANTLERS TOMORROW & FRIDAY
J
The shipbuilding Industry of the
Columbia river' maritime district is
growing to be one of gigantic propor
tions. There are seventeen ship
yards' in the district. This only em
braces the territory between Port
land and Astoria, and does not in-,
elude the yards of Tacoma, Seattle,
Victoria or Vancouver. Over 15,000
men are employed in the yards, and
it .is conservatively estimated that
the population of Portland has in
creased 75,000 In the past six months
as a result of the new industry. Ev
ery apartment and rooming house
display the "no vacancy" sign. There
are over one hundred and fifty ships
wooden and steel in course of
construction, and after March 1, It
is predicted that not less than three
ships will slip from the ways each
week. The Foundation Shipyard Co.,
In which the writer is employed, is
one of the largest in the world, and
operate yards in Seattle, Tacoma,
Frisco and Portland on the Pacific
coast, and New York, and Boston on
the Atlantic. The Foundation Co.
have twenty-six wooden ships on the
ways in this district. The Portland
yard covers an area of twenty, acres,
and employs two thousand men,
working two shifts, day and night.
Their local pay roll amounts to f 40,
000 per week. Twenty ships are
being built for the French, govern-1
ment, and four of the ships will be j
ready to' launch In a few weeks.
These ships are 288 feet long, 48
ft. beam, and while they are classed
as wooden ships, nearly ten car loads
of iron bolts and plates go into the
construction of each Bhlp. These
ships will costthe French govern
ment' between $S00,000 and $900,
000 apiece. Two large air compres
sors furnish the power to operate all
machines used in driving bolts, rivet
ing, etc. England and France, alone
have let contracts for over 75 ships
on the Pacific coast, andi 90 per cent
of them will be wooden ships, and the
forests of Oregon will supply mil
lions of feet of fir timber for the
construction of them.
The writer has noticed quite a
number of Douglas county residents
working in the ship yards, among
them Mr. Johns and son, who own a
ranch at Shady Point, Jack Bailey,
Gideon Palmer, of Cleveland, Nor
man Agee, and others from Drain
and Riddle. JUDGE.
