America—threw millions of men—fighting men, and the best fight ing men on top of God’s green earth— into France within the apace of a year. These men did not go to war because they liked war—their natures rebelled ugainst war and all that goes with war. They saw it as their duty to save the world and with the American impetuos ity they went in and did the job. Their natures have not been changed by their participation in the great world conflict. These men do not crave mili tary honor—they have no ambition to be a part of a great military machine. And the second great marvel of the ceutury will be the rapidity with which the men who were a part of that great conflict are inducted back into peace ful civil pursuits, their great experience in Europe but a dream— a nightmare. It is passing strange how anxious are these boys—these boys who performed so nobly “ over there” — to get out of the uniform which they may well feel proud to wear and don the working clothes o f the peaceful, liberty loving American citizen. Many thought that the nature of the growing men of the country would be changed by their participation in the great world conflict—that they would come back converted to a great standing army and other outward show of great military atrength, but the effect has been the opposite. The boys have less us« for war than ever before and mili tarism will never become an issue in America except as it becomes necessary to protect ourselves from those who would trample upon our God-given Tights. BOVS WON’ T BE BABIED. There is one thing upon which we are all agreed, and that is that nothing is too good for the soldier boys now leaving the service, especially those who served under fire upon a foreign shore. We are all anxious to show our apprecia tion of their services, but in expressing our feelings and in following the trend o f our thoughts we must not forget that the soldier boys are men who have been tried by fire, and they will resent being treated as babes unable to help them aelves. It is not right that those who stayed at home should hold down fat jobs while those who fought to make these fat jobs safe go penniless, but the sol dier boys do not wish to have folks fol lowing them around as if it was dan gerous for them to be out alone. With but few exceptions all they want is an equal chance with the other fellow. They are certainly entitled to that and that we should gee that they have. We should go a little further and gee that they have a little the best o f it, if possible, but they don’t want to be mollycoddled. Men who have been through what they Lav« are entitled to the best o f treat ment and to be treated like the grown men that they are is the first thing they want. W. C. Conner, peripatetic editor of Willamette valley newspapers, and re cently of the Harrisburg Bulletin, has peripateted to Ralem, where he will edit the Northwest Poultry Journal. This should give Conner the chance to lay by a nest egg, but we don ’t think he will like the job. The chances are that the owners of the poultry journal will not let the editor do his crowing in the ed itorial columns, and Conner will be en tirely lost under such circumstances. As between the 65th artillery and the 60th congress, both o f which have re cently passed into history, the record of performance o f duty is with the artil lery boys. WHAT OF THE “ Y ” ? that Red Cross and Salvation army workers did. Some who saw service ‘ ‘ over there” maintain that the " Y did all that It was supposed to do but that a wrong impression of the work of the “ Y ” wa* giveu in the drives ‘ ‘ over here.” The fact that there were some death* and casualties ia a partial vindication of the “ Y ” but the fact remains that while it was at first thought that this organization would come out of the war with flying colors and would jump to a very prominent place in the social and religious affairs of the country, in real ity the organization has been put on the defensive. While it is, no doubt, true that a great work was done, it is also true, whether rightly so or not, that it will be some time before the “ Y ” will rise above the criticism that has beeu directed against it. Its criticiaers are th« young men—the men who will be active in the affairs of the country for years to come— the meu from whose ranks must come the active boosteis for many years to come. It is pleasing to know that “ Y ” workers went where there waa danger and took the same chances as did the soldier boys. It is pleasing to know that there is a plausible defense for the ‘ ‘ Y ” , but most o f the people nt home lake what the soldier boy* say at it* full fare value and in order to get in right the “ Y ” ha* got to first convince the veterans of France that the “ Y ” did not shirk a duty. Leaders in the work think that this can be dune. APRIL NEW FASHION McOALL 8HEETS PATTERNS ON FREE!

Booze dies hard, and in dying it uses as senseless methods to endeavor to keep alive the spark o f life as it did to stop the hand of regulation when first raised against it. The word now romes that an effort will be made to refer to the people the resolution of the recent legislature of Oregon ratifying the prohibition amend ment. In the first place it is not at all likely that the courts will hold that this act of the legislature can be referred. The constitution of Oregon does not provide for the referring of acts of this nature. But if it were possible for this issue to be put up to the people, what a silly and foolish plan for the booze people to pursue. The people of Oregon don’t want booze and they can't be fooled. Ignorance is no longer abroad in the land and the days are gone when the few lorded it over the many with bludgeon and club. The reason booze is where it is is be cause it did not keep up with the times —and if it is ever to come back it must do so by an entirely different method than any it is now using. It must adapt itself to modern enlightened conditions and must appeal to reason, instead of passion. It is hardly likely that booze ever will do that. It is an institution of the dark ages. It can not rise above the past when the bludgeon and the club were the laws o f civil society. The saloon and all the evils that go with the saloon will never again be known in thia country.

THE G OPEN ON APRIL 21 Washington, March 12.—Tho Victory Liberty loan campaign will open Mon day, April 21, and close three weeks later, Hunday, May 10. Secretary Glass announced the dAtes tonight, together with the fact that short-term notes maturing in not over five years would be issued, instead of longer term bonds. The amount of notes to be o ffe r »! was not disclosed, but it has been generally understood that the loan would be for a minimm o f $5,000, 000,000, with the treasury reserving the right to accept all oversubscriptions. Mr. Glass said the interest rate of the note* and the amounts to be exempted from taxation would not be determined until a week or two before the cam paign, as they would be based upon f i nancial conditions at that time. It was intimated, however, that the notes might bear Interest in excess of 4%#-, the interest rate on the third and fourth loans. After hearing the many criticisms of the work o f the Y. M. C. A. in France, the recent statement of its casualties is o f interest. Of some 9000 men who were in the service, many of whom were stationed at the rear where there was littb* danger from hostilities, 57 made the supreme sacrifice. Of these, 39 died o f disease and 18 died from shell fire, bombs, gas fever, drowning and wound*. Ten of these were women, two of whom were killed. The death rate was one- fourth that of the array. There were 55 non-fatal casualties and 63 “ Y ” work ers were decorated for bravery. Cottage Grove boys who have re turned from the front are not overly enthusiastic about the work o f the “ Y ” at the front, although they arc unani mous in saying that a great work wa* performed in the camps at home.
