WHERE WILL THEY GO?
Confronted with the necessity of
choosing between allegiance to their
constituents "back home" and their
fealty to Senator Penrose, Senator
Lodge and the other reactionaries in
Congress, what will the Republican
"Progressives" do? There is no
doubt they will have to make a
choice. The next Congress will be
dominated by the Old Guard that
element which was driven from
power by the Democrats. It is fair
to assume that many Republican
voters of the Middle West and Far
West are still sincere and resolute in
their opposition to these prophets
and exponents of reaction, with whom
they have nothing in common. It is
equally reasonable to suppose that
these "folks back home" will expect
their "Progressive" representatives
in Congress to keep the faith.
Here, then, is a situation that all
may watch with interest if not with
hope. The "Progressives" are all
"dressed up." There is an invitation
from Boss Penrose and his reaction
ary associates to return to the Old
Guard and the old ways. There is
likely tobe an urgent appeal from
the plain people at home to remain
aloof from these charmers and stand
true to the progressive principles.
"Progressive" Senators and Con
gressmen are indeed "dressed up,"
but where will they go?
If refusal to vindicate American
rights and honor qualifies a Republi
can to head a standing committee in
the House of Representatives, what
test of unjAmericanism can be ap
plied to a Republican presidential
candidate ?
Opponents of the constitution of
the league of nations adopted by the
' peace conference fall into two classes
those who say the plan is too weak
and should be stronger and those who
say it is too strong and should be
weaker.
"Let there be peace," said Grant
after the Civil war. "Let there be
no more wars," says President Wilson
after the bloodiest conflict of the
ages. Grant was a Kepumican; wu
son is a Democrat, but they are alike
in their Americanism.
Obituaries
Joseph Weeks
Joseph Weeks, of Jennings Lodge,
died from heart trouble late Saturday
evening at his home at that place.
The remains are at the Holman &
Pace undertaking parlors, and fun
eral arrangements are pending upon
word from his children. Deceased
came to Jennings Lodge from Idaho
and is survived by his wife and sev
en children. A girl and three sons
live at Idaho, and one of the boys is
in France.
Mrs. Clinton Bfack
The funeral services over the late
Mrs. Clinton Black were held at her
home in Mount Pleasant Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. E. E.
Gilbert, of the Methodist church,
officiated. Interment took place in
the Mountain View cemetery. De
ceased leaves a husband and three
children Robert, aged 5; James, ag
ed 3, and Ellen, 2 years old. She is
also survived by her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Roebecker, of
Mount Pleasant. The mother is ser
iously ill with influenza at the Black
home. A brother, A. Roebecker, of
this city also survives. Mrs. Black
died from the effects of influenza.
Mrs. Myrtle Sullivan
Mrs. Myrtle Sullivan, wife of Roy
Sullivan, of Molalla, died in this
city Monday from pneumonia. Mrs.
Sullivan was a former resident of
Oregon City, and was well known.
She passed away at 12:00 o'clock.
Deceased was born in Oregon and
was 36 years of age at the timo of
her death. She had resided at Mo
lalla for some time and was well
known in that community. She is
survived by her husband, Roy Sulli
van; four children at Molalla; a
mother, Mrs. Rier, of Stayton; and
a sister, Mrs. Haynes, of Mill City.
Remains are at the funeral parlors
of Holman & Pace, and are to be
shipped to Mill City for services and
burial in the family lot.
Senator Kellogg reports that he
has found the people of his state
Minnesota practically unanimous
for a league of nations. And he
made this discovery after Will H.
Hays, chairman of the Republican
National committee, had delivered a
long speech in St. Paul against Presi
dent Wilson's proposal for such- a
league.
The idea that the pens that signed
. the armistice palsied the spirit of
enthusiasm in the breasts of the
American people should not be har
bored in the mind. Patriotism of the
citizens of the great republic will be
demonstrated in no uncertain man
ner when the time comes for buying
Victory Liberty Loan bonds.
The period of the Victory Liberty
Loan drive should stand out as a
period of universal thanksgiving that
the war is over. Every mother, fath
er, sister and sweetheart who had a
personal interest in the world trag
edy represented by a soldier in olive
drab will approach the drive with the
spirit of thanksgiving.
It will be well for recalcitrant Sen
ators to remember that when they un
dertake to defeat the ratification of
the peace treaty and the league of
nations they will have as spectators
of their actions millions of widows,
orphans, lame, halt and blind, who
were made such by the world war,
and about two billions of human be
ings who don't want to risk suffer
ing in the same fashion from another
reign of bloodshed and destruction.
It will take something besides a
brave man he would have to be a
heartless man to frustrate the hopes
of these countless multitudes.

POLITICS AND GAME LAWS
DON'T MIX SAY SPORTS
The movement inaugurated by the
Oregon Sportsmen's League to rid
the State Fish and Game Commission
of its dual control by political and
commercial interests is arousing keen
interest on the part of those interest
ed in the fostering of our wild life.
The establishment of the commission
on an efficient basis' is of interest to
every citizen of the state.
We are entering on an area of
road building and development and
are advertising to the tourists of
the world to come to Oregon, Hand-in-glove
with this plan is that of
propagating and protecting our game
fish and our wild bird and animal
life, and turning it into a practical
asset of the state. The wild life of
Maine attracts visitors from all over
the East and is today one of her
chief assets, yielding millions of rev
enue every year. This can be dupli
cated in Oregon.
Politics and game protection do
not mix any more than oil and water.
Since 1915 Commercial interests
have dominated the commission's af
fairs so completely that last year's
record shows that only 3,694,174
game trout were liberated, while ex
penditures from the Game Fund were
$93,401.69, and that in the same time
$66,090.00 was expended from the
Commercial Fund, resulting in the
liberating of 35,395,155 salmon fry.
Not only have we failed to liberate
more trout as the years go by, but
we have actually seen the number de
crease. . To this - there is only one
answer absolute depletion of our
streams.
The Oregon Sportsmen's League
has no candidates for membership on
the Commission, nor any suggestions
as to who shall be the new fish and
game warden, but stands absolutely
for the elimination of the political
and commercial control in the com
mission's affairs.

WORTH MENTIONING
A sale of granite ware which
is scheduled to take place at
the Frank Busch store here
for Saturday, ,is worth mention
ing to our readers. The bar
gain is of exceptional ' worth,
and the firm is going to sell
each granite article for the sum
of 95c. The present market
price on this kind of granite
ware is worth about double the
sale price. From now on this
paper will mention sales worth
while to our readers, so as to
inform them whero te get the
most considering quality for
their money.
