SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1918 PAGE TWO THE MALHEUR ENTERPRISE JfflaUjeur enterprise GEORGE HUNTINGTON CURREY Editor and Owner MALHEUR COUNTY PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY AT VALE, OREGON Entered at tho Vale, Oregon, Pdst Oflico as Second Class Mall Matter SubscriDtion Rates in Advance One Year, $2.00 Advertising nnd printing Saturday, March 16, 1918 WAKE UP AMERICANS. DO YOUR BEST. THERE IS NO PEACE IN SIGHT BEFORE VICTORY. LIFE AND LIBERTY DEPENDS ON ALL DOING THEIR DUTY. Sherman said war was hell, yet make a bonfire compared with the world war we are now in. Wo have chal lenged the deadliest foe of civilization and arc about to engage the best ' organized nnd most victorious army the world has ever produced. A million ,of our own blood are preparing to face death. Our every independence is chanced on tho outcome. Tho future sels of the Huns or free born Americans, depends upon whether we win or lose. And who are wo ? We are the American people, tho nation of democrats whtse government was formed on the principle of equality in tho essentials of life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness. A peoplowhose principles were tested at Valley Forge, and Fredericksburg. The sinking of the Maine was the signal to free the races under Lusitnnia will be remembered as the militarism and German cnslavment. We entered this war in the defense of civilization and humanity, to make ' the world safe for 'democracy, to protect the rights of lessor nations, to abolish a barbaric militarism, and to peace and equality among nil people of the world. Wo had no sinister motive, no axe to grind, no grudge to pay. Germany chose to become an enemy of our principles. Wilhcmstrasse attempted to destroy our industries and misguide our loyulity. The Huns murdered our people on tho high seas, and offended our every sense of decency in their terrirism of Belgium and Servia. Again, Germany has lied to Russia, has bribed her leaders, has do moralized her army, has stolen her lands, food and supplies and is murder ing and pillaging her defenseless people. Wo appreciated it; but our allies have been fighting our battles for tho past three years. Wo have been in a theoretical state of warefare with tho common enemy for nearly one year, yet this awful conflict across the sea is to us a mere dream. True Red Cross, wo have invested n little us have sent our sons rind brothers have avoided nn excess of sugnr and war bread. Wo may have taken our ing in a home guard squad. Wo have heard patriotic appeals that hove momentarily thrilled us. Wo have read barbaric atrocities that have chill ed us. Yet there is hardly ono man or woman in a hundred who realizes clearly that America, civilization, and democracy is endangered and that the protection of our principles, our nation, cost any real sacrifice upon our part personally. War is ono game in which wo cannot afford to pass tho Buck to George. Ho can't do it alone. Wo bclievo that the idea of doing our bit is nil wrong. Any slnckcr car, claim his bit. What is needed is everyone bringing himself to n point ol 100 per cent efficiency. Cut out the frivolities, tho wasteful non-essentials Build up your energy. Get in some useful occupation. Do your best, noi for yourself but for your nation. And mnko up your mind that this war if bound to inconvenienco you, ns terrible ns thnt may bo. Some may be gett ing rich off of this war but no ono envies tho profits of blood. Such will reap their just reward. America needs something to arouse her from this disgrnceful slumboi we arc in. When wo renllzo that our homes, our lund, our liberty are beinf sought by nn army that is still victorious nnd ambitious, when we rcnlizc that there is danger of defeat, when wo realize that wo are all fncing dentl or worso: Then will wo como to our senses and enter this c6nflict in the spirit of grim determination, instead of nn interesting adventure. Oui dollars, our. fields, our shops, our talents will be taken, destroyed or en t slaved unless our army and the armies of our allies can defeat tho Germai' hosts. America has drafted tho boys of tho rich nnd tho poor nlike anr. every ono has approved for it is fairer nnd better than tho volunteer flysftem America should draft, our dollars, our fields, our shops, and our talents nm, apply our full forca whero it is needed. Some people aro allowing theirselves to be misled. Some theorists, looking toward tho brotherhood of man and the fraternity of nations huvi forgotten that oven the cosmopolitan, tho world citizen owes Ills first duty U home. Loynlity begins in your own homo, it npplys to your own community, it supports youid own state and is tho bulwark of your own nation. Loynlity outranks patisanship nnd overrules personal interests. There is no neutral ground for nn Amuricim citizen. He is either with his government or he U n traitor. An American citizen hits n right to question, to criticise, to sug gest, but ho has u duty not to do these things unless ho has qualified himselt to speak with authority. Every American citizen is now called upon to devote his best energy his best constructive thot, his full ability toward helping his government win this war. Unless ho is doing his part, helping nt every opportunity sacrificing to his limit, ho lis not doing his duty toward his country and lib fellow citizens and has no right to object to what those who aro doing theii part may be doing. Some of tho hardest sacrifices aro never known, while some of the big gest slackers parade their false putriotism'by word nnd symbol hoping thr people will forget to investignto their deeds. Do not judge your neighboi until you have catalogued yoursolf and taken your own measure Liberty de mands that overy American do his duty. This world conflict is so terrible, so unbelievable thnt it is hard to comprehend tho reality of it all. The American people seem to hold to some kind of a fetish thnt all is well and tho war will soon be over. We hate to consider tho possiblity of dofent or oven prolonged fighting for victory. Wo are not cowards and we must steel our heats to faco tho facts Germany has dispelled tho last glimmering hopo of any kind of arbitration or peaco discussion ns long as tho present official Germany is tho spokesman for that nation. Tho betrayal nnd devastation of Russia has forever brand ed the German Military Autocracy as deliberately dishonest and unfair. ,. It has proven beyond doubt their aims of conquest and power. But let us not deceive ourselves about tho German people. They aro ns loyul to ther government ns wo should bo to our own. Tnclr armies from a military standpoint aro tho conquerors of nil tho choice bits of Europe They have extended their territory in overy direction. No blood has been lost on their own soil. They have set out to drive the world into submission. In the nnmo of their Kaiser, Gott nnd Kultur thoy have proclaimed tho es tablishment of Deuchland Uber Alios. But in their effort to conquer the world they havo committed tho worst outrages known to tho history of man or brute. ' Tho Gorman Military Autocracy must bo abolished and tho only practical way of nccompelshing thnt Is to defeat tho German armies, to drive them back across the Rhine nnd force an unconditional surrender. But in doing so may America and the Allies bo Strang enough to return good for evil nnd to treat prisoners, nnd inhabitants humanely and in u Chrnstinn spirit. We must remember tho principles for which wo are fighting, wo must live up to tho standard we hopo to cstublah. You con trust our nrmy to be Americans We at home mut ho Americans Too. OFFICIAL PAPER Six Months, $1.00 prices given on application all the fighting he ever saw wouldn't of our children, whether they be vas- Spanish dominion. The sinking of tho call, to save the world from autocracy, establish the principles of justice wo have given a few dollars to the money in Liberty Bonds, and some of to trnining camps or to France. We experienced the novelty of a little exercise hoeing a war garden or drill our families and our lives will likely CITY STREETS HAVE GREATEST NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT. At a meeting of the county court last week a number of representatives from tho towns of Ontario, Nyssa and Vale discussed with the court various problems of the road situation in Malheur county. The immediate object! was to secure the construction of a road up Sucker Creek connecting the northern part of the county with Jordan Valley. This route will be surveyed and estimates made with a view of constructing same as soon as funds can be made available. There is ono thing that all must make up their minds, to either vote a special tax of some kind and thus create a fund for permanent road con struction or else put up with what roads wo have and let the court worry along as best it can to keep them in a passible condition. The present road levy will hardly more than maintain the roads and a special fund is need ed that will construct a comprehensive and, county wide road system. The Enterprise believes thnt the county should at least raise $200,000 which could be paid for in four years by a specal tax of five mills or in ten years by a special tax of two mills. To this fund the state would add $100,000 and the total would enable tho road master to repair, grade and drain all of the main roads in the county, build a few connecting links that aro badly need ed and gravel many miles of the heaviast traveled highways. We know from personal visits to every road district in the county that better roads are one of the greatest needs in every community. Such special fund could con struct sufficient roads that the regular levy would afterward satisfy the requirements. Think this matter ovor. The cost of these roads will be repaid every year in the saving of time, power and wear. Judge McKnight made one statement that should set deeply with the residents of tho towns in the county. Ho said that when ever the towns will prepare and keep their main streets and the streets leading into county roads in as good condition as the county keeps tho roads leading into towns then the voice of representatives from the Chambers of Commerce and city councils will have more weight with the court. That is an indict ment of which most towns are guilty, not expecting Ontario, Nyssa or Vale. Let us fix up the roads leading into our towns, but let us make sure that the streets of the towns arc in equally good condition. p Pjb jsa PB THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FARMER In his message of January 31 to the farmers of America, President Wilson points out tho great governmental agencies and instrumentalities in the field of agriculture. Our department of agriculture, he states, is tho greatest practical and scientific organization in the world and it's total annual budget of four to six million dollars has been increased during the last four years more than 72 per cent. Its staff numbers 18,000 and includes many highly trained ex perts. The agricultural colleges and experiment stations of the "country have a total endowment of plant equipment of $172,000,000 and an annual i'reomo of more than $35,000,000. Ten thousand two hundred and seventh one teachers with 125,000 students, together with a vast number receiving instruction at their homes, evidence what is being done in the way of agri cultural training, and to that may be added the 255 men and women work ing under the Smith-Lever Act. Tho banking legislation of tho last two or three years, the President shows, has given the farmers access to the great lendnble capital of the country and through the Federal Reserve banking system and the Farm Loan banking system farmers can obtain tho credit, both short and long terms, to which thoy nre entitled and which is imperatively necessary should be oxtended to them to enable them to perform adequately the tasks the country now requires of them. The President touches on another aspect of the Nation "The toil, the intelligence, the energy, the foresight, tho self- sacrifice, and devotion of tho farmers of America willtJ believe, great war." Pa- Hb State Highway Engineer Nunn says that Portland and the Willamette Valley will be visited by many thousand more auto tourists this summer than ever before. How will they get thru Eastern Oregon, brother? Use in airplane? Or is it your deliberate intention of routing this eastern traffic thru Spokane and from there ip and help Eastern Oregon function as a feeder for the Portland hog. Another fundamental error in the highway law, in as much as tho avail able fund, admittedly, is inadequct to more than start the program, in that ivery county must pay a direct tax as well as increased auto fees into a common pot from which but a few counties and only a small percentage jf population in any of those counties nre benefited. Each county should invo been guaranteed that a certain percentage at least of their own revenue would bo returned. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS ,j Deeds, Complaints, Etc., g, .J. Filed by County Clerk ,t.
