0 COMMUNICATED Editor Mist: Will you kindly give me space in your paper to review a comment of the Herald on my cor respondence of last week. After Riv ing a quotation from the article the Herald says: "The statement of tlio Mist correspondent that 'All con demn the government for tlio con ditions that prevail' is not and can not be verified by facts," and then comments as follows: "There are few mothers or fathers, sisters or brothers here who have near kin in the United States army or state mil itia who are yet ready to condemn the president for not rushing their relatives into bloody carnage just to appease the greed of American capi talists who value dollars above hu manity." Now, that is a wonderful flight of editorial oratory. Unfor tunately, however, it is all gratuitous and does not even represent the idea of the correspondent at all. Evident ly the correspondence was read through political .glasses. Now, as to the first statement. All condemn the government for the conditions that prevail. First, the correspond ent did not mean to say that each and every individual condemned. There are some who do not read; who know almost nothing of condi tions anywhere outside of their im mediate personal surroundings. What the correspondent meant and what he knows to be true is that among the intelligent readers who discuss conditions, a large majority, averaging at least 70 per cent, do condemn the action of the govern ment and blame the existing condi tion to the action of the same. The late primary election, not only in Oregon but in many other states, Is abundant proof of the statement. Second, the twist given to the arti cle by the Herald to make It appear that the correspondent meant to con demn the president for not sending " the army or for not declaring war on Mexico Is an evidence of how un fair one can be. It is not for send ing tho army and not for not causing war that we condemn the action of the government, but for doing that very thing. We are for peace. That the sending of a few thousand of our troops several hundred miles into the interior of Mexico, hunting Villa, seems to this correspondent to be the most monstrous exhibition of ignor ance and folly ever made by an in telligent man. In fact, the whole dealing with the Mexican muddle has tfbeen on a par with the above. First wo supported Villa, sold him arms S. HEIMAXN PURE FOOD BAKERY WEST ST.

IIIO.K A-l and munitions of war, then put an embargo on both; then lifted the embargo; then recognized the other bandit, Carrunza. Isn't that a fine specimen of statesmanship. To go further back. The government sunt a number of our bravo boys to death at Vera Cruz. What for? Simply to uphold the vanity of one man who demanded of Huerta a salute for the American flag. An enormous lot of money was spent, a scoro or more of our bys lost their lives, the expedi tion recalled in disgrace and the flag has not yet been saluted. But oh, no, we must not condemn the presi dent, but I'll venture a guess that had a republican president, or hud "Teddy" done such a thing, these same papers and in fact every demo cratic sheet in the Uulou would literally roar with Indignation at such a specimen of assininity. The Herald further says that it Is desired to send the troops Into the bloody carnage just to appease the greed of American capitalists who value dollars above human life. Well, now, who's doing It? Nobody is to blame for the presence of tho Amer ican army In Mexico but the nuiu at the head of this government, and It Is thought by some of the leuding minds of the nntion that he ordered tho army into Mexico without war rant of authority. This government is now iu tho hands of the demo cratic party and all action, whether good or bud, is to be charged up either for or against the party in power. There may be, and doubtless aro some persons who are guilty of the very thing that the Herald condemns, but Is there any party, political or otherwise, that is demanding such action? To assert it Is simply politi cal buncombe. Lastly, let me say In support of the statement that "all condemn the action of the govern ment." I have found no one In this community, nor have I read of any, who are satisfied with the conditions on tho border. And please remem ber that no ono has uny voice or authority in the matter but the ex isting government. Many, very many, condemn the action of sending troops across tho border into a friendly qov ernment's territory. What ihauld hifve been done was to demand abun dant reparation and the punishment of tho bandits. Others feel that hav ing sent the army into the country, ample support should have been given from the first. And the great majority feel that had the govern ment taken proper precautions for protection and not have gratuitously K. SPEED and Logging Shoes. Select From. OE4 ST. HELENS MIST, meddled in Mexican affairs tlio con ditions Hint are now could not and would not prevail. SANKORl) SNYPKIt. " St. Helens, Oro., July 10, 1918. To tho Editor of St. Helens Mist: My Dear Sir: It w:'.s erroneously stated In tlio news Items of tho last issue of your paper that the Fourth of July committee donated tho lum ber for tho erection of a new band stand. This lumber was loaned the committee for tho erection of a stand In tho City Hall to stiiRO tho boxiiis exhibitions. Tho lumber was to have been returned tho following day to the St. Helens' Lumber Company, but when Mr. McCormlck's attention was called to tho fact that the city need ed a new band sts'iid and this lumber was already framed to serve such a purpose ho gave bis consent to the committee to offer It to the city. Tho lumber was donated by tho St. Helens Lumber Company. Very truly yours, FOURTH OF JULY COMMITTEE. By S. U. Avery. COLUMBIA HIGHWAY OPEN TO PUBLIC The Columbia River Highway from Portland to tho sea is now open, and according to George M. Hyland, n l'oitlaml architect, is in very gool condition with the exception of a few places. Work Is now iu progress in these few rough spots, and In the course of a few days they will he all right. Mr. Hyland left Astoria on the morning of July 11, at 5 o'clock. He passed through St. Helens about noon and arrived in Portland at 1:30 p. m., which goes to show that the highway can now be used all the way from Portland to the City by the Sea and very good time made.
