Newspaper Page TextST. HELENS MIST, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 16. 1918 kaued Every Friday by THE MIST riUIJSHtNG COMPANY O. D. HEILBORN....Vlc President and Manager. 8. C. MORTON Editor SCBSCRIPTloy RATES One Year f 1.B0 Six Months 75 Entered as second-class matter, January 10th, 11 2, at the Postofflcs at St. Helens, Oregon, under the act of March 3rd, 1879. COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER DR. DOXKY A XI) THE SOLDIER From far-off France conies the cry of the Oregon soldier boys. They are not complaining as to the hard ships they endure, the dangers they have faced or the separation from their loved ones. They do complain, however, that one Carl Doney, a resi dent of Oregon, who after visiting the battlefields (battlefields far be hind the lines) comes home to Ore gon and starts his anti-tobacco pro paganda. The official paper of the American Expeditionary Forces, the Stars and Stripes, contains several caustic articles from officers and privates concerning this "holier than thou" egotist and Doney deserves all the unfavorable comment which has been heaped upon him. The Mist is well aware that the church he repre sents is opposed to the use of tobac co, but the Mist does not believe a broad minded man could have taken the stand which Doney took. Ore gon boys "over there'' have been fighting for democracy against au tocracy. Doney visits them, at gov ernment expense, and comes home with the recommendation that they should be reformed. Doney's idea of a good soldier is one who Is will ing to sacrifice his life at liberty's i ltar, but should the supreme sacri fice be mo.de, the der.d soldier dies an ignominious der.th if he has any tobacco on his person. Until Dr. Doney made the trip to France, he was considered a learned and broad minded man. The stand he took when he returned to safety, proves that he is the opposite of what peo ple thought he was. PREPARE FOR THE KOLDIER In a few months hundreds of thousands of our brave soldiers and sailor3 will be returned from foreign lands and mustered cut of army and navy service. When entering their country's service, many of these met, left positions of trust, of business and industrial activity, r.nd naturally they will seek positions similar to the ones they left. What to do ana how to provide for them, is the prob lem which now confronts the nation. Gifts of logged-off lands, irrigation-, drainage and other lands are sug gested as one of the solutions. To a few, this proposition might Appeal, but the man who was working in n factory, the man who was a skilled mechanic in a shop, the man vho handled large contracts, etc., 'it will not appeal. They will wish to re enter their old line3. In order that they may find employment in such lines it is necessary for the commer cial and Industrial enterprises of the country to be on a solid basis. The worst thing our boys could find when arriving home, would be a stagnant condition of business and prosperity a mintis article. It therefore becomes the necessary duty of every citizen of the country at this time more than ever before to bring about a state of confidence in business and financial matters. Capital and labor must work together to accomplish this. The na tion owes a debt to the returning sol dier, a debt the nation must pay and every class must work together to see that it is paid. IT'S PATTER TOVCME8 THE HEART The mist hangs low r.nd quiet On a rugged line of hills. There's a whispering wind across the flat; You'd be feeling kinder of lonesome, If It wasn't for one thing, . The patter of the raindrops, ' On your old tin hit. And you can't help a flgu rlnj. Sitting here alone, About this war and hero stuff and that, And you sorter wonder if they haven't Things a little twisted up. While the rain keeps up its patter On your old tin hat. When you step off with your outfit, To do your little "bit," You are doing just what you're sup posed to do. And you don't take time to figure. What you gain or what you lose. Its the spirit of the game that brings you there. But back at home she's waiting, Writing cheerful little notes. Ana every night she offers up a prayer. And Just keeps on a'hoplng, That her soldier boy is safe, The mother of the boy that's "over there." And fellows, she's the hero, Of this blgand ugly war. And her prayer is in the wind acrosb the flat. And don't you reckon, maybe its her tears And not the rain. That keeps up the patter on your old tin hat. A HEALTHY 81(1 X There seems to be some residents of this community who slightly re sent the activity of the new comers ct a school meeting, or other clmllni publto meetings. The MUt takes the opposite view of the matter. It is glad to see the newcomer out at these meetings and hear his expres sions p.s to the needs of the commun ity. It shows he Is interested in the community in which he has acquired a residence and Is ready to do his part in its upbuilding. He is a much more desirable citizen than the resi dent who has been living here for years and takes no interest in the community. COURT PROCEEDINGS Matter of county aid to 11. M. This poem was written by Lieut. J. Hunter Wickersham of Denver, Colorado, who a few weeks ago felt mortally wounded while leading his men in a gallant charge. He is a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Wick ersham of Deer Island. There Is no reason why Liberty bonds should be quoted at less than face value, unless it be that the man with money Is tifklng advantage ot the fact that so many are needless ly placing their bonds on the mur ket. In a few years time, these bonds will be worth more than face value. Uncle Sam has promised to pay dol lar for dollar and he will do it. If not absolutely necessary to dispose of the bond, hold on to it and help cheat the capitalists who are anxious to accumulate the gilt edge securities at below cost.

A LITTLE BVSIXE8S THEN NOW Al Western states need the whole some effect of IntflPtInz hnslnu. methods into their public administra tion. Here is a little object lesson show ing what can ha nrmmnllahaH Kv merely applying private methods in puouc aiiairs. In the fall nf 1911 tlio aitta Connecticutt had & net inrinhtarineaa drawing interest amounting to $10,- oov.uuu. Mark Holcomh n hnrri.li lawyer, who could not have been elected in some states, was made governor. He put over a business system that broueht all dennrtmentn nnriar state board ot finance, and he kept nis inumo on tnat board. - The joint committee of the legis lature nn fLDDrnnrln' fnna hnM l naa Sions With thn Htala flnnnxs hnniol and the governor had the veto. wet result: in three years the debt has disaDDeared. eippnt annm hnnri.. not yet due, but there is a sinking mail on nana to meet tnem. How was it done? Just nlain eood common sense business mariace- ment that anv pitV. RtntA nr lha na tion can get by insisting on it. Ex. GIVE LABOR JUSTICE A striking cartoon published in the Literary Digest showed High Cost of Living and High Price of La bor on a platform. Each was inviting the other to come down first. High Cost of Living should be the first to descend. It is always the first to as cend. Labor always gets a late start on the climbing and is entitled to stay on the platform last. It is not fair to make labor thelast to climb and the first to come down. The fact that thousands of returning sol diers will Increase the supply of la bor is no excuse for a reduction in wages unless a reduction in living expenses is first made.
