SKNATOK STONE :. . 'I'lif pciiplt! of tin"; United Status know Senator Stone too u'fll to pay much attention to his dnhhling. They know liim as one of the twelve that deserted the President it li critical hour when the issues were, more important .ind more critical than they are now.- Then Mr. Stone vas not a liitf American hut a little, fearful, timid Amer ican, wnrrviiifr ahoiit politics and not about statesmanship, worrying about his political future and not about the future of the county. So when he says Mr. Roosevelt is the most seditious American of today, the people will pay little heed to him. Neither will they listen when he says the Republicans are conspiring to ruin the political future of the administration. President Wilson, "the Democratic party and no one else has the slightest reason to .complain about the patriotism of t he Republicans in Congress. With the notable exception of .Senator La Folletto, .one of Sen ator Stone's boon companions, the Republican Congress men have been zealous in the supnort'of. the Persidentla relief that these rind the war. Why? liecaiise they realize, that it is a righteous and just war, that it must .be prosecuted with liligeiice and zeal. This is no time for petty partisan poli tics. When Senator Stone attempts to in jeit' petty .par tisan politics into the deliberation of' thanijftiunal Con gress, he shows how small and petty he is, how cheap and ignoble. 'If there were ever a tifiie that the people, the President, Congress and all should forget that they are. Republicans, Democrats, Prohibitionists and Socialists, now is the time. Senator Stone will not foi'tret that he publication, sixteen hours ahead of the Portland evening papers and thirty-four hours ahead of the Portland morn ing papers. ' . o - ADVERTISING OUR DUTY ; The Literary Digest tidies almost a page advertise ment to urge the people not t lie about their income tax. .It shouldn't, be necessary in these times to urge people to do their plain duty, but the Literary Digest is showing k ino patriotism in telling all citizens that their tax money fs needed to carry the war and support our soldiers at Ithe front. Now is the time of all times that we should pay our taxes cheerfully.' , o : - FINE R INCEPTION five a splendid reception to the visiting A La Grande will Canadian officers at the Tabernacle Friday night It is is a Democrat. American. ' icutlcincn are merely bearing a patri otic message and not appealing for funds or. making col lections. Their expenses are paid by the State Council of Defense. Their message is plain and needs to be 'heard by everyone.' o STROLLER I strolled down to tho Foley hotel this morning and iuet i'io vis llini; Canadian officers and listened to them lalkinc; and chatting of the war. They are real men and real fisliters and I envied them tholr trip to Wallowa county this mnrniiiR. They like tho American pcoplo and are enjoying their trip. Thoy uro different from home people: They would gather fiKht than talk. lOd. Reynolds is frettlnc; to be quite a aport, Kning to basketball games.
