The murder of four former service men by members
' of the I. W. 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.

The anniversaries of Armistice Day are very good
days to celebrate. 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. Only the well-to-do can a f
ford to keep a cow.

Permit me to extend greet-
tngs to yourself and your citi-
xeris, and to join with you In
the celebration of the first an-
niversary of that day destined
to become memorable in his-
tory, which commemorates the
glorious victory of our country
and its allies in the great world
war. 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.
