Walter, Walter, Walter-: What Do You'Me'an? ' "Union county ban been 1,00 pur cent American throughout the world war; our people have never permitted niiy thiiu; un-Americun to go unchallenged and yet, and yet, we now have Wal ter Pierce, our Htate senator, voting itgninnt u men sure which is intended to uphold the flag and protect our peo ple." Thus ran the conversation of a man well up in Union county thin morn-' U)g, following announcement that Senator Pierce of Union county had been the only one voting agulnst the-! uonate hill to put down the red men ace. The Observer will have to admit that we have lost our ability to figure out Walter. -The excellent neighbor that he in, the good citizen, the splen did futher, all combine to make him n man k worth white1, but 4oc'Wniimiilly ho docs get one of those braiimtormn that likens hinPlo the unbroken cayuse of the prairie, the twinting windstorm of the Grande Uonric, or the typhoon of the scan. Wo can only nay in the npirit of the warmest friendship: "Walter, Wal ler, what do you mean ?" And throughout these couhttctt of Union mid Wallowa, romes back the echo, "Walter, oh Waller, what da you mean?" , Do we Htill have confidence in the ftemttor? Yen, fur we know him well enough to know that when he Mlumls on the other foot; when he awakens to realities and getH down out of the clouds; when he acknowledges that he has ceased running for governor, then Ws mind will got back to the broad wheat fields of Hasten. Oregon, to the union labor boys who are not the Itol.slxrviks, much as mim would ap parently have I lie state think, and then Walter will join in... nwuttiug -tho. scourge that has drifted across Itehr I u sea fr.nn ltussia, "We tlo not share in the street talk of a recall for Senator Pierce because of hi vole, for the recall is a fickle weapon and the greatest of considera tion should be given before it is even taken down fropi the attic of public opinion. Walter Is not too far gone. He will hbuw up right yet; so we say t bis constituents of the -two counties, be patient and probably in the next vxJ sion of the senate be. will advueate something that we will all approve of. and also prove that he has no detire to stay on the wrung side of a great piction w-hich confronts America to ilnv with nhnont a- much force, and fraught with almost as reiit a dan-1 ger, us the Cerman menace that con- fronted us a few weeks ago. ' and so why furnish cheap phones and juics to the "people." This is simply an illustration of the (tystem. This man expects to come home to a country such as he left where the pri vate individual was at liberty to de velop and grow and build up a busi ness under the protection of a consti tution guaranteeing him these rights. die doesn't expect to come home and find his country "Europeanized" and "paternalizcd' so that the door is for ever closed to him as a private citizen jthe stock hus M to, enter the field of railroading,- me telephone, telegraph or cable business, little value or even entirely bogus. Criminal promoters have been reaping a harvest by persuading people ignor ant of stock values to take their hand somely engraved but worthless paper in exchange for perfectly good liberty bonds. Honest bankers and brokers want to help the government stop this sort of thing, in order to protect the public and safeguard their own legiti mate business. Unfortunately the proposed meas ure can affect only stocks involved in interstate transactions. It will still be possible in many states for swindling concerns to sell their crooked stock within their state limit3.
