At a dinner given by the American
Unr Association in lienor of Ellhu
Root, who recently returned from
Russia, Chief Justice Andrew A
Bruce of the supreme court of North
Dakota was tho principal speaker
His speech aroused the enthusiasm
and patriotism of tho lawyers present
and his speech as a whole was one
ringing with patriotism and lovo of
his adopted country. He said:
"I speak from tho viewpoint of tho
foreign born. I, and millions of
others like me, came to this country
alone and without friends. Wc
sponged on all America hud, her free
lands, her free schools, and above all
her spirit of open hearted comrade
ship. She owed us nothing, but she
gave us all. We sworo allowance U
her flag; her Constitution and her
laws. Wo would be miscreants, per
jurers and curs if in the hour of her
nood we counseled with her eneinh s
and were disloyal to her cause."
Thero aro many other foreign born
American citizens whot.e hearts and
thoughts are with and for the Intore.-i
of the country whose flug has given
them freedom and protection.
MORE FOREST BAT
TALIONS AUTHORIZED
On top of the shipyard strike, th
high price of salmon and the wns'o
of this valuablo food fish, has come
the announcement that A. E. I.afforty
will again run for congreas. Portland
does not deserve all of these agonies
at the same time. It is evident that
I.afforty cannot bo so easily disposed
of as the fish which wero thrown
overboard.
Pacifists must read with a lot of
satisfaction such twaddle us thl.t
from the Berlin Morgenpost: "In
America the peaco propaganda grows
from day to day, arousing whole
classes of the population against one
another." What is that but giving
aid and comfort to the enemy?
