DID WE KEEP OUT Of WAR?
To the Voter of Malheur County.
Mr. or Mr. Veter:
Have you ever stopped to consid
er the condition of our country to
day? Or have you been to busy?
At this tine It Is well to consider
some at least, of the more Important
condition that are directly charge
able to the democratic party, under
the present admtnlstiatlon, and then
answer to yourself If you care longer
to continue In power under that par
ty, or labor under Intolerable finan
cial conditions.
Speaking of the time politically
an able editor has said:
"We live In a five cent age. Ev
ery thing must he cheap. There
must fcc no regard for MMtK) WW
public want a flash "
"Tinsel has taken the plaoe of
twenty-four karat gold. Shody is
good enough Everything must be
on the bargain counter.
"As In material matters, so In poli
tics. The star of statesmanship are
discarded for transitory comet of the
lecture pint form, the pulpit and leg
iRlatlve halls.
"We have a now kind of leadership
of the five and ton cent variety the
style that would denounce the cruci
fixion of silver on the cross of gold,
that would exile our captains of In
dustry, and that would put a discount
on thrift and make people dependent

"These pseudo statesmen, these

tor of substantial leaders have had
their way for several years What
has been the result
"Has a single promise made to the
'dear people' been kept? Has the cost
of living been reduced? Has labor
been elevated to a higher plane
Ha a premium been pnt on the devel

"It la time to take an Inventory.
Ixtt those who usurped the place of
the elder statesmen make an account
ing of their stewardship. Will they
do it? No. In the race of failure
they will offer new legislation and
new quack remedlea for social In
equalities that have prevailed since
man's creation and that will continue j
until the millennium. Have not the
American people been humbugged
long enough?

WB HAVB BKKN KEPT OUT OF
WAR.
Let ns compare the different meth
ods, or diplomatic ways thl has boen
accemplished:
President Wilson sent an army to
Vera Crus which fought one battle
wherein nineteen Americans were kil
led but he kept us out of war.
He has sent an array In pnrsult
of Villa, which fonght bloody battles
at Parral and (arrltal but he has
kept us out of war.
He saw Mexicans murder and rob
hundreds of American dtliens but
ho has kept us out of war.
He has sent our troops to fight In
.laltl and Santo Domingo but be has
kept us out of war.
Hundred of Americans have been
has kept us out of war.
He surrendered to Oroat Britain,
In the canal tolls controversy but
he kopt u out of war.
He railed to adjust the California
alien land dispute with Japan but
so far he ha kept us out of war.
He has not Induced the allies to
cense their Illegal blockade methods,
and by the l Hum peace treaties lie
has made us powerless to bring more
than dplomatlc pressure to hear. In
that manner he ha kept u out of
war.
The Republican Way We Were Kept
Out of War.
President Roosevelt settled tho
THUR8DAT. AUOUOST 17. 11

m u
I Japanese school controversy In Cali
fornia and thereby kept us out (
war.
He acquired tho Panama Canal
Zone for the United States, making
construction possible yet he kept
us oat of war.
lty speaking a few plain words to
the German ambassador, he prevent
ed Oermany from soiling a Venesuel
aa island and maintained the Mon
roe Doctrine, but he kept us out of
war.
There are two ways of koeplng tho
United status out of war. One tho
Roosevelt way the republican way
gains valuable rights for the United
States, settles dangerous controver
sies auu uieaus sUMTtQU rlchts and
Amerlcsn policy respocted without
expenditure of a single drop of blood.
The other the Wilson way the
di'inocrntlc way sacrifices our right
leaves controversies open, forfeits tho
respect of nat.ons, yet results in tho
loss of countless lives. The choice
before the American people Is not be
tween war and peace, or between
militarism ml pacifism, II Is between
two ways of hlM out of war, and
It Is for us to decide Ibis ns well ss
the other questions at the poll in
November.
