WILLIAMS ; TURE, for these same mad ' leaders have decreed that Ger many shull march down into the - valley of the shadow of economic I death into the dim twilight of - the gods that is chaos and an- ' archy and ruin. If they can't have :. Germany, NOBODY shall have . Germany "Alter us the deluge." - All that is left for the Ger ; man people is to wait in numb - terror for the end. COR them there is NOT EVEN ; I PITY. ; Pity has been driven from the ", hearts of all mankind by the savage excesses of these lnadors ' that have been TOLERATED by I the German people by the grisly murder factories of the past, and , hy the burning and shooting of helpless prisoners that still goes on. (As late as yesterday, 220 political prisoners in a concentra- tlon camp In Leipzig were . sprayed with flaming acetone and burned to death by their Jailers.) Not even remorse for their evil deeds in the face of certainly impending punishment move these monsters. THERE is no sympathy for these Germans as human beings for It is doubtful if they are hu man beings In any modern sense f the term. In Leipzig, after battering it .flown with heavy artillery, we tinnally took the city hall, which had been converted into an Inner citadel" of last resort, and when our soldiers entered this steel- sheathed last Inner citadel a sight met their eyes that can only be described lis out of tills world. Some 330 naitls, both military and civilian, had withered there after all hope was gone. They had set a banquet, with food and wine. Then, after eating ami drinking, they killed themselves. Officers lay across the table, the position of the guns in their hands Indicating that they had .killed each other at a given slimal. There were WOMEN among the dead. Poison (quick acting cyanide), as well as guns, had been used In this strange pact of death. .. By Charlei V. Stanton , Representative' Harold Knutsoii of Minnesota, it) a radio address last March 13, speaking- oh the subject "The West Offers Opportunities for Servicemen," repeated, in effect, Horace Greeley's advice( "Go west, youhg man, go west." Strikinir at defea test, attitudes and claims that there is no further opportunity to private enterprise and individual initiative, he declared that the states west of the Mississippi offer opportunity for "creation of an empire of truly conti nental size." He pointed out that after the Civil war men were given land certificates and that they carved out the "world's greatest agricultural empire." He emphasized that they Heeded iio further government subsidy, no public works, no dole, but that by their initiative they created jobs for great numbers of people. He urged distribution of industrial activity to all parts of the nation, stating that at present the "population map of the United States looks like a bus, with all the congestion at the front end.'' , "Migration of veterans to the West," he asserted, "will be the power that will create the new empire. The producers it brings with it, will, at the same time, be consumers that will keep the producers at work." Representative Knutson challenged chambers of commerce, Civic organizations, banks, industries, newspapers and radio stations to "start soldiers and war workers and their wives, mothers and sweethearts to thinking about the great op portunities which the West has to offer them." lie stresses the distinction between a continental empire which exploits the resources of its territories for the benefit of its people, and a colonial empire which exploits the people of its colonies for the benefit of a favored few. By indus trial development of the West, he declared, a continental empire can be created, instead of the colonial West being exploited for the benefit of the industrialized East. Naturally, those of us who know and love the West are anxious to do all we can to make this dream of a continental empire come true. But when we attempt to localize the representative's remarks make them applicable to Douglas county we come face to face with the following comment contained in his address: "So I expect the railroads which played so Important a part in pioneering the agricultural West to play an even more important part in the promotion of the new industrial West." Just how much promotion for the Douglas county area nd, in fact, Soutliwestarn Oregon, can we expect from the Friendly" Southern Pacific, which has kept us in the indus- iul icebox ull these years?, Do you imagine that any veteran ho rode the "owl" train through Southern Oregon, making 11 tho milk stops, and riding a mixed cattle and passenger train, would form a likely impression of tho West? ' When is told at a ticket window in a California station as puople have been told that Roseburg isn't on the S. P. ne, is ho apt to consider Douglas county as a possible location for his investment and future home? Founder Harrinian had visions of empire when he built the Southern Pacific, but his successors have an eye only for the ash box. As Representative Knutson so ably declared, the West offers opportunity for an empire of truly continental size, but promotion by railroads is one of the most essential steps in building that empire. As long as we continue to be held in the grip of a transportation utility whicli refuses to provide a modern, adequate passenger service to that icction of tho Pacific coast offering the greatest opportunity or new industrial development, we will bo seriously handi capped in our empire building.

Indoctrination begun in infancy unci carried through to maturity In such Indoet filiation lit: fearful power for evil. UNLESS the down, down, other Dark Age world is to go down into an we must find the ANTIDOTE for this fearful power for evil. The antidote lies in GOOD leadership, sound leadership, wise leadership. That Is what we MUST have in the pregnant years that He ahead of us. Without It, the world can't be snatched back from the precipice that yawns ahead. F DIAL:LOQ By SUSAN OR too many years, we Ameri cans have been far too cure less In our choice of leaders. Men who are qualified to lead have stayed out of polities. The job of running for office has been left too often to mouthy demagogues. In this emergency that has arisen to confront us, we have been luckier than we have any right to be. The general run of our leadership has risen to the occasion In the traditional Ameri can manner, and so we have been saved from the consequences of our negligence. But we mustn't take any more chances. Wc must choose as our leaders from here on the best that we have, and we' must give to them n quality of loyalty and tol erance in our support of them far aiiove what we have exhibited In the past. Tlif world situation today Is too grave to Justify nny more risks.

URGES RELIEF FROM JAM IN ROSEBURG TRAFFIC Editor News-Review: Having made over a period of several months many efforts to cross Highway 9U on Stephnes St., In some cases with nearly fatal results, and especially Saturday morning on returning from the hospital when I managed to get behind a four-car lam. and vainly watched the traffic on Stephens street run north and. south, my on n on is that It is time some thing is done about traffic condi tions on Oak, Cass and Lane streets. The average driver on a through highway seems to think he has eonmlete rieht of way. and that no one entering from a cross street has any business en- terinc this through highway. Thev meriilv roll on disregard ing the attempt to cross. Mav I in-ire the citv council and the state highway office in Roseburg to do something about this before there Is a serious accident at one of these crossings. B. R. SHOEMAKER, Roseburg, Ore. PSALM FROM INDIAN HAS NOTEWORTHY MERIT Editor News-Review: A friend has sent me the en closed. It seems to me so beauti fullv meanineful that, if vou can spare the space to print It, I shall aoot-eciate the nrivilege of shar ing it with other readers of the News-Review: A Psalm in Indian Language The Great Father, above, Shepherd Chief Is. I am bis, and with him I want not. He throws out to me a rone, and the name of that rope is love, and he draws me, and he draws me to where the grass is green and the water not dangerous and I eat and drink and lie down satisfied Sometimes my heart is very woa and falls down, but he lifts it up again, and draws me into a good road. His name is wonderful. Sometime. it may be ver; soon, it may be longer, it may be a lone, long time lie will draw me n o a n lace between moun tains. It is dark there, but I'll not draw back: I'll he afraid not, for It is there between those moun tains that the Shepherd Chief will meet me, and the hunger I hav felt in mv heart all through th life will be satisfied. Sometimes he makes the lov rope Into a whl-v hut afterwards DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS God is ever watching over His children, though sometimes He may seem to us indifferent to our affairs. So it must have seemed to the Psalmist when he made his plea. "Make no tarrying O My God." Yet he discovers within himself the answer to God's apparent aloof ness when he meditates. "Therefore hath the Lord rec ompensed me according to my righteousness." He finds that Uod deals with individuals and nations according to their in tent and purpose of soul. "With the merciful Thou wilt show thyself merciful." Dereliction of duty seems to account for God's failure to hear and an swer prayer. Isaiah says: Your iniquities have separated be tween you and your God. Christ's first concern in His mission of redemption was to bridge the chasm, scperating man from God. Therefore He came preaching the gospel and saying: The Kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and be lieve the gospel. He is still calling upon men to cast aside those iniquities that seperato them from God, so that God may be able to hear and answer their prayers. Amen. he eives me a staff to lean on He spreads a table before me with all kinds of food, and we sit down and eat that which satisfies us. He nuts his hand upon m head and all the "tired" is gone. Mv cup he fills till it runs over. What I tell you is true; 1 lie not These roads yiat are "awav ahead" will stav with me through this life, and afterwards I will eo to live in the Big Tepee and sit down with the Shepherd Chief forever.
