Spanish-American war, and ten
thousand bands blared its martial
strains all over America. It has
been set to stirring words for Yocalja couple of years and train them,
the Allies cried for men, trained
or untrained. If we couldn't send
armies, at least send men as re
placements to fill in the bleeding
and broken ranks of the allied
i forces
'It was not the American spirit
to do that. If men must go we
would send our own untrained
men under command of their own
untrained officers. We would
send our raw recruits against the
presentation.' .

Lands of the flower of our young

'But they took those losses be
cause there was no otner way.
And while they lacked in training
tbey carried with them in battle
the invincible spirit ot free Amer
ica. They carried with them that
martial spirit, that national char
acter that was born in '76 and
that was perpetuated in '63. In
their hearts throbbed the spirit
of Lexington and Bunker Hill of
Vicksburg, the Wilderness and of
San JuJfn Hill and Malabon. In
their veins burned the fire of
American democracy, and that is
unquenchable. We paid a terri
ble price, our young men did, but
American manhood paid it cheer

Institutions as a free people are
ever challenged again.
Iloine Folks Given Credit
"It is said, and I believe truth
fully so, that the war was won at
home. It was fought in France,
but it was won by the spirit of
Americanism which our young
men merely carried to the battle
line. It was the singleness of pur
pose, the unstinted patriotism and
spirit of every true American that
fought and won the war and kept
free America from becoming a
tribute-paying dependency of Ger
man kalsarlsm.
"Who paused to think or ask
then what . creed, what political
persuasion, what racial origin was
held by those who served. It was
a time wnen every American put
hi& all behind the country and we
applied ourselves with a united
front as an American people.
"The new national spirit born of
the war, demands a united and
loyal America. Sound and united
American citizenship is the tie
that must bind us together as a
people. Let us not foster divis
ions and local bitternesses among
loyal Americans; but rather with
the thought that America must
have our supreme and united loy
alty, let us stand firmly together
In peace.
"How much I pray that I may
be mistaken in this; and yet 1
think I foresee, as clearly as that
cloud of '17 was discernible in ad
vance, another great struggle that
may involve the very foundation,
the Teryr existence of America,
even of white supremacy. Perhaps
it may not come in our day. I
hope it may never come; and yet
it may be upon us in a few years
Who can say?
"Who that reads history and
keps abreast of world, levents,
can fail to sense the possibility of
another great struggle in which
our standards ot existence. Chris
tianity itself, will stand in the
balance? God enlighten those
provincial, day-dreaming Ameri
cans who are wholly asleep to this
possibility.
National Sririt Must Live
"If such a day should come, i:
the Buddhist and. Mohanvmedan
hordes of a barbarian enemy
should be hurled upon the green
slopes of the Pacific in an attack
that would be no less strange and
terrible than the German : war
madness, of '17, then does our sal
vation depend upon a united and a
loyal America.

the northern part of Douglas coun

It is said that conditions in this

find that it is cheaper, and far
quicker, to drive through, than to
trust to freights. The demand
for the pew "Chevs" has been so
great that the Salem agency has
been limited to 19 machines a
month; which isn't nearly what
they would sell if they could get
the cars. The California plant is
to be doubled in size, as quickly
as it can be done, to help meet
the demand for cars.
