W. while the former were marching in an A r mistice Day parade at Centralia, Wash., was an outrage j and no possible excuse can be offered for it. The I. W. W. is a body believing in what is called “ direct action” and as a result of putting their theory into practice they have invited the same kind of a dose for themselves and the government and states, aroused by the Centralia affair, will take direct action to rid the country of the I. W. W. element. Many confuse I. W. W.ism with Socialism whereas there is as much difference as between the Democratic and Republican parties. While both Socialists and I. W. W.s advocate the overthrow of the “ capitalist class” , the Socialist hopes to do it by ballot, while the I. W. W. pro poses to do it by “ direct action,” it being contrary to the cardinal principles of the organization for its members to participate in the country’s elections. If it is true, as al leged by the I. W. W., that the “ capital class” rules this country and the working people are “ slaves” , that system will prevail as long as murder and other crimes are re sorted to for the purpose of changing it. As long as the working people have the right to vote there is no excuse for violence for whether the working people are “ free” or “ slaves” depends entirely upon themselves. \ Judge T h ere’s nothing saved by chew in g ordin ary tobacco.

Of all days, perhaps omitting the Fourth o f July, no other day meant so much to America. To the two million American men in the trenches of France engaged in the most gigantic struggle the world has ever known, Armistice Day meant something to them. I f the war had gone on many thousands of them, now home and no longer soldiering, would be sleeping in the graves of France. Armistice Day meant something to the mothers, fathers, wives and children of the boys “ over there.” Had there been no Armistice Day, they would still be suffering great mental anguish, praying for the safety o f loved ones and many would have prayed in vain. Then Armistice Day stands for victory as the enemy sur rendered unconditionally and submitted to a humiliating peace as the price paid for its infamy. So everything considered, Armistice Day is a “ bear” and will continue to be a “ bear” for all time to come. D on’t envy the farm wife when she brings ten pounds of butter to town and sells it for 65 cents a pound. The bossy that produced that cream that made that butter has to eat just like human folks.

I again congratulate the people of your community upon the overwhelming success which they achieved in the several Liberty Loan campaigns. The record of your district is a last- ing monument to their self- sacrifice, and will be an inspire- tion to Americans whenever their country again stands in peril. On this occasion shall we not pledge anew our lives and for- tunes to our country and its in- ■titutions and resolve to bear our obligations of citizenship today with the same serious and highminded enterprise that was shown in the dark days of the war? Let us not give less freely to our country now in the face of domestic peril than we gave when it confronted foreign enemies. On this anniversary we cele- brate the fulfillment by our sol- diers and sailors of their obli- gations. but our citizen army is not yet discharged. It has as- sumed obligations which must be paid in full. Your record during the war is undoubted assurance of quick response to every call of your country for financial support. I am sure it is only necessary to remind your citizens of the deficit in Oregon's War Savings quota to make certain its prompt subscription. Oregon has never failed. “3DWAR1J COOKINGHAM, Director War Loan Organiza- tion for Oregon. + + + 4* + + + + 4* 41 4« 4* 4* 4» 4* 4> 4> 41 4* ❖ 4" 41 ♦ 4« + 41 4- 4- * 41 + 4> 4* + ♦ ♦ 41 ♦ 4> 4> + 4> 4« ♦ + 4- 41 + 41 Max Goldman Deals in HIDES PELTS WOOL FURS MOHAIR CASCARA BABE VEAL PORK BEEF POULTRY BUTTEB EMI FARM PRODUCE WOOD WOOD OROG2HW SHOES FURNISHINM DBY GOODS CASH OR TRADB VALLEY A SXLETZ TIME TABLE Effective April 1, trains will run as follows: No. 2 arrives from Hoskins 9:15 A.
