To the Editor of The Journal This letter Is not writ ten in a partisan spirit ' In the name of genuine Ajnerlcanism, the writer files a protest against the unpatriotic sentiments embodied in the "call" is sued by Charles B. Moores, chairman of the Republican state central com mittee to the members of that .com mittee published Sunday. As spokesman of the Republican party of this state, Mr. Moores raises the issue, "The Flag or Huerta," by criticising- the president of the United States for upholding the demands of an admiral of our navy for a salute to our flag that had been insulted in ar resting and imprisoning uniformed seamen of the American navy in the performance of their orders from su periors. v- I call attention to the contemptuous terms in which our brave sailor', boys, some of whom but recently died for that flag t at Vera Cruz, are referred to by this political warrior, Charles : B. Moores, chairman of the Republican state central committee. .Referring to Mr. Wilson's administration he says: "It makes the arrest of a few blue Jackets a pretext for intervention.". If this Republican chairman does not know that the uniform of an Amer ican sailor carrying oat his orders re flects the dignity and honor of the flag, he will probably realize it when the vote next November is counted on this issue, "The Flag or Huerta." Mr. Moores in his "call" defends Huerta against the demands of a salute to our flag by our president and navy; de fends Huerta, who would not salute the flasr of our country that he in- Says It Can't Be Stopped. Saverton, Or., My9. To the Ed itor of the Journal We don't pretend to argue that the liquor traffic is a righteous thing. We may as well try to get rid of the devil as the liquor traffic. If we drive him out of the back door he will come In the front door. The same is true of the liquor traffic. God created many things that we can see no logical reason for, but tbey were all created for a nurrvoso. We 'can't build up a great common wealth without them.

He was upnolding a cause for the bet terment of humanity, but his doctrine was wrung. n aian't prevail, nor never will. If the Prohibition doctrine -as right It would' have triumphed many years ago. It does not take tha American people nearly a century to decide a great question. We wouldn't be surprised if the Prohibitionists would try to prohibit the growing of grapes. They would say. "Our citi zens will become intoxicated on their juice, and that would be a menace to society and would ruin the morals of the younger generation.' The Prohi bitionist may as well try to prohibit an evil and sin and establish a world of righteousness. If th Frohlhf.lnn- Ists. would tell us how to guard against evil and sin It would be more reason able than to tell us they were going 10 proniDit tnem. iTohibitlon is Just to matte a .bad matter worse.

Blythe's account it the Saturday Evening Post of May 25 of President Wilson's views on the Mexi can situation. President Wilson plain ly says therein: "When we have fin ished with Mexico, Mexico will be ter ritorially intact." What President Wilson, promises will be done. We could not be so sure were congress to do the promising. The memory Is still fresh for that of the pledge made by congress in the Teller resolution at the outbreak of the Spanish war, to the ef fect that there would be no annexation of territory. In spite of that promise, and in spite of President McKinley's denunciation of criminal aggression, we committed the wrong, against the Philippines that to"" this day has not been righted. So a promise by con gress would be justly subject to doubt. It Is different with President Wilson.

To the Editor of The Journal I noticed in Saturday's Journal a call from the Daughters of the American Revolution to the dif' ferent churches to celebrate Flag day, June 14, and requesting that "Amer ica," the national anthem, be sung. Is it not absurd to expect that the mlirtens who rightly believe that "The Star- Spangled Banner," that glorious an them of Francis bcott Key, is the na tional anthem, should be asked to sing "America." which does not represent true Americanism? f'And thl etar-spangled banner in tri 1 umph shall wave O'er the land of the free and tbe home of the brave." i V.
