BRANCHES IH MA THE PRINCIPAL QT1CT
SLANDER AND ABUSE ARE THE
WEAPONS IN REPUBLICAN
FIGHT ON WILSON
Slander and abuse are the chief
weapons in the campaign which Re
publican leaders are waging against
President Wilson, declared Chairman
-Homer S. Cummings of the Demo
cratic National committee in a speech
to the Democratic club of Westches
ter county. Wm. G. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury, also at
tended and addressed this large gath
ering of Democrats.
"It is not conceivable that the mal
ice of a few will be permitted to
deny to America and to the world
this measure of healing," Chairman
Cummings said, speaking of the
League of Nations.
"When I 'read the speeches of
partisan Republican leaders, I won
der what phrases of abuse would have
agitated the political atmosphere if
the President had led the country to
the disastrous conclusion of an unsuc
cessful war. Every epithet of re
proach has already been exhausted in
an attempt to discredit the leadership
of America's president at a time
when America's prestige was never
greater, America's power never so
vast and America's success never so
transcendent. The campaign of
slander, which is the very spume of
politics, has been reserved for Amer
ica's greatest leader in the hour of
America's greatest triumph.
"The war was won and I challenge
the critics of the administration to
suggest how, within the bounds of
human possibility, we could have won
the war more promptly or with less
loss of American life. The Republi
can party is rendering small service
to America when it converts the ma
chinery of its organization into an
instrument of attack upon American
leadership and American honor.
"What would the conditions of our
country have been if labor had been
discontented and unwilling to follow
the leadership of our president? If
no preparation had been made to en
courage the farmer in supplying the
need of the .world for food 'I If our
finances had remained in the state in
which the Republican party left
them? All these measures were es
sential to America's success and they
were the very basis upon which that
success was founded. And yet these
reforms have been enacted since
President Wilson first became Pres
i ilunt: nf trin United States.
"When the war began it was the
judgment of the military experts of
the German empire that we would not
be able to create an army inside of
two years.
"They said that if we could accofh
nlish this feat we could not trans
port the army to France, and that
if some of our soldiers reached the
firing line the trained troops of Ger
many would destroy them. And yet
we raised an army of four million
men and we transported more than
two million soldiers to France.
"For the first time an agreement
has been adopted, calculated to in

THE
clude ultimately all the nations of
the world and to arrange internat
ional affairs, not in accordance with
the outworn doctrines of another age,
but in harmony with the principles of
human justice applicable equally to
the great and to the gmaii. mat an
American president is engaged in
this work should move every Ameri
can heart, irrespective of party af
filiation or personal prejudive, to a
fervent prayer that he may succeed
in his great task.
"Despite all obstacles and discour
agements, he has persisted. Within
a few weeks, if all goes well, he will
return to America, bearing with him
the greatest document of human lib
erty that was ever prepared by the
hands of man."
Former Secretary McAdoo related
how, when England, France and Italy
called on the United States in 1918
to hasten them supplies of wheat to
prevent starvation among their civil
ian populations and the collapse of
their armies, the" Railroad Adminis
tration sped the movement of empty
cars from East to West, expedited
their loading with grain, and hurried
them back to the Atlantic seaboard
for shipment of their contents to
Europe.
This draBtic method, which was
adopted, regardless of cost, was so
successful, Mr. McAdoo said, that
within thirty days the emergency
had been ' met and the crisis that
threatened the defeat of the Allies
was averted. This happened, he said,
in February and March, 1918, in the
midst of an exceptionally severe win
ter:
The Interallied Wheat committee
reported that there was a deficit of
900,000 tons of bread cereals.. The
rations of the Italian army had al
ready been reduced twice and the ra
tions of the French army once. Food
was scarce among the civilian pop
ulations and there was fear that the
Russian debacle would be repeated in
one or both of these countries. But
American enterprise was equal to the
demand and the danger was soon re
moved. COLTON

BOOSTS FOR JERSEY BREED
To the present and future Jersey
breeders of Clackamas county:
A few years ago, co-operation was
a word little used and poorly under
stood by a majority of the farmers,
so, of course, the farmers soon be
came known as a class of people who
did not know the value of co-operation
and fumous for "not sticking to
gether." But men and conditions have
changed, today, almost every farm
er in this county is a member of
some organization, whose object is
improvement and advancement of
conditions either moral, religious, ed
ucational, or financial.
Regardless of the number of or
ganizations now in existence there
will ever arise the need of others
along different lines.
And who is there to say that the
Jersey breeders of Clackamas county
do not need to organize?
Here we are scattered over the
county, scarce knowing the names of
BOUGHT
LIBERTY
If you have any. back

8th and Main Sts.
those who are in the same line of
business, each trying to go it abne,
when with so little time and expense,
the Jersey breeders of Clackamas
county could unite. Some one will
say, "What for?" In unity is
strength. Strength for what.'
1 To help make this country
center for the raising of the greatest
fat-producing dairy breed in- the
world.
2 To discourage and eventually
eliminate the use of scrub bulls."
3 To educate ourselves and the
public to the place where we know a
good cow and will not tolerate an
unprofitable one in our herds.
4 To make it possible for every
breeder to obtain the services of a
good tester at a reasonable price.
5 To be so situated that we can
secure the best of speakers to ad
dress the people along all lines of the
dairy business.
There are many other benefits to
be derived through the work of such
an organization. But no few men
can make it a complete success. It
will require all the Jersey breeders
of this county. Therefore, if your
heart is with the "Jerseys," you will
encourage every breeder to come for
ward, join, and push such an organ
ization on to its greatest strength.
Had there been no Oregon Jersey
Cattle club, there would have been
no "Jubilee" and the benefits, pub
licity and interest created thereby,
for the Jersey business would never
have been.
And who can say where or when
the benefits derived by each partici
pant of that Jubilee, will end?
May Oregon see many more cham
pions, gold medal cows, and Jubilees 1
For the purpose of viewing some
of Clackamas county's fine register
ed Jerseys and to discuss, encourage
and possibly organize a Clackamas
County Registered Jersey association,
every dairy farmer and his family of
this county has been invited to bring
his lunch and attend the picnic at the
farm of N. H. Smith at Logan, Sat
urday, June 7. Do not miss seeing
Mr. Smith's gold medal cow, "Min
etta of Ashwood."

MORE THAN 400 GRADUATE
FROM THE COUNTY SCHOOLS
Students to the number of 368 have
completed the eighth grade studies,
and have passed the necessary ex
amination and will receive their dip
lomas from the county superinten
dents office. Some failed in one or
two studies and will rewrite the
studies in which they failed to pass
in June. A very few failed entirely
and will be obliged to spend another
year in the grade studies. With those
who will pass in the June examina
tions, County Superintendent Calavan
estimates that fully 400 will complete
their studies in the grades and that
the majority of the graduates have
signified their intention of entering
the high schools.
