Of course it depends on which crowd you run
I with whether Oregon was the only western state
I that could not be swayed by sentimentalism or: contemptible
J whether it was the only western state that failed
to get a place in the sun.
Perhaps we "did not realize that the degree of
our "thankfulness" yesterday was greater than at
'any time in our history unless it be at the ending
of the great rebellion when the country was again
united and its states cemented into a bond of
unity that will never be broken. Thirteen!
European countries are ravaged by the world's;
greatest scourge. Millions of men have been
killed and disabled, property valued at many mil
lions, destroyed, at a cost of billions of dollars,
and our country is at peace. We have kept out ot
this world's hell, despite jingo, militarist and
divident patriot, and hope to continue at peace
even if our so-called "honor" is at times aggra
vated to a state of resentment.

! Atnon the numerous editorials, appearing in the
Wood burn Independent, ,we find this statement:
"'Bryan proved to be a good, kind,
Christian gentleman, willing to for
give and forget."
1 Then in another editorial appearing in the same
good newspaper, not far from the one quoted
above, we 11 nd this statement:
! "Bryan may have been a political
fool, but he has proved himself a good,

Much has been said and written about Oregon,
or a majority of its voters, refusing to remove
from the state constitution an obsolete section
w hich bars negroes from voting. The people of
Oregon have done just as the people of any other
state will do when the opportunity comes repu
diate the Fourteenth Amendment. Right orj
wrong, the w hite voters of this country would j
reject the Fourteenth Amendment. The discus-!
sion of the problem has brought the South into itj
and the opinions of some writers, who were never;
further south than Ilornbrook, Cal., seem very
ludicrous to anyone familiar with the negro
problem. In particular it is claimed if all the,
negroes voted the Republican party would b
