America is not going to have a Russian escapade. Let that be known right now. America may not be a military country she would not have any military if a lot of weak, silly people had their, way about it hut' she is sufficiently military to put down) any of this Russian stuff that trickles out from in our larger cities. - - Eastern Oregon has had her experience. She knows now what the I. W. W. really is, and she is not alarmed. 1 I f the matter ever has to come to a showdown this part of the country will be I'nund standing by the American institutions. She will be found obstin ately resenting with all power at her command a foreign-born ele ment who seek to undermine our customs and our laws. Such demonstrations without pin pose or reaon as we have just wit nessed only hasten the day when the law will be written "Amen-1 u isn't so very difficult to foi-pive cn for Americans" even though industry must go slower for lack I"11 '"'my. unless yt-u have done him in mail puwui. nn 11 uiu jilum im iiiiiiui utiwn iiiuriL i:iw?u u, i-.ii- 01.

I Welcome the Home Team Baseball, that pastime that has gained favor year after year until now it stands as the premier national sport, will open its sum ' mer swing in La Grande Sunday afternoon.

La Grande last year proved beyond a doubt that the grand ' old game had returned to Union county's scat with all its former interest and zest. Better material is at haiid this year mid despite ' the setback at Raker in the opening game; the Pirates, as they are dubbed by their backers, can make one of the finest showings in athletic history in this section this season if they receive the moral support of the fans. A crowd, cheering- them, backing them, whether they are winning or losing, will give them positive know ledge that the city wants their season successful. The grandstand at the fairgrounds should be packed to capacity to greet the "home team" in. their first appearance here.
