' Peace should not come along
1 this foul earth way.
' Peace should not come until
we cleanse the earth.
1 God waited for us; now in
awful wrath
1 He pours the blood of men out
day by day
To purify the h&h road for her
feet.
Why. what would Peace do.
in a world where hearts
Are filled with thoughts like
poison-pointed darts?
It were not meet surely It were
not meet
For Peace to come, and with her
white robes hide.
These industries of death
these iruns and swords
These uniformed, hate-filled,
destructive hordes
These hideous things that are
each nation's pride.
So Ions as men believe in armed
mlsht
tt arms bo brandished. Let
no Peace be sought
Until the race-heart empties
out all thoueht
Of blows and blood, as argu
ments for Ri.Kht
The world has never had en J
ouch of war.
Else war were not. N'ow let
the monster stand
Until he slays himself with
his own hand:
Tho no man knows what he is
fightinc for.
Then in the place where
wicked cannon stood
Iet Peac erect her shrine p
Brotherhood.

HERE is plenty of
talent at this Round-Up
and the show is there
with the goods as usual. Yet
many note with some sadness
and considerable pride that the
string of riders is not as long as
usual. There is a reason for
this and it lies in the fact a host
of the boys are wearing the
irab and blue of Uncle Sam's
army and navy. Many of them
are with Captain Lee Caldwell
in the sturdy ranks of troop D,
now at Camp Greene awaiting
word to cross the ocean. Others
are with the regulars or the
navy or in the various canton
ments of the national army just
being mobilized. Wherever
they may be it may be set down
that they make good soldiers
and sauors. They are a loyal
lot and they are not afraid.
When thev face the foe they
will go with a smile on their
faces and determination in
their hearts, just as they did
when they went against trie
dangers on track and arena,
asking no favors and disdain
ing to pull leather. The white
man is the master over the
brute and the white men of the
world as represented by the
United States and her allies are
going to overpower the auto
cracy that strives to shackle
i civilization with the chains of
brutality and injustice. They
will do this through the valor
and sacrifice of just such boys
as have gone forth from east
ern Oregon and whose absence
in numerous cases we note with
i sorrow. When you stand as

to the train or boat movement
of troops. Such information is
at all time and under all cir
cumstances dangerous and
should be scrupulously avoid
ed." The request is one that is
generally observed by the
press, the East Oregonian in
cluded. However, papers yes
terday carried comprehensive
news stories of the transporta
tion of troops to American
Lake. The .Oregonian pub
lished the number of troop
trains being handled by the
Southern Pacific and the num
ber of men being moved over
the O-W. R. & N. It was an
evident violation of the govern
mental request and provided
information of value to mis
chief workers should there be
any abroad. That there are
such men to be found even now
is attested by the effort of some
fanatic to wreck a troop train
near Tacoma.
The situation illustratesone
of the difficulties about a vol
vntary press censorship in
times of war.
'SAGE BRUSH AND WHEAT
FIELDS"
HE government has a
standing request that the
press of the country vol
untarily refrain from publish
ing news of troop movements.
The request is embodied in the
following section in A circular
Jjby the committee on public in-
j formation : "For the protection
of our military and naval forc
es and of merchant shipping it
J is requested that secrecy be

1. Information in regard
HE Portland Oregonian
seems distressed over the
fact political opponents
of President Wilson and Sena
tor Chamberlain were unable
to dictate who should be collec
tor of customs at Portland and
resents criticism by this paper
of the men who have by their
efforts striven to break down
cur senators influence at
Washington.
Nevertheless the East Ore
gonian stands squarely on the
declaration that the efforts to
undermine Senator Chamber
lain's influence have been in
bad grace. The reasons as
signed by the Oregonian make
the case amusing, as may be
seen by the following from that
paper.
Mr. Moore may be. and we snnposc
Is. an exemplary citizen, but his qual
ifications for administration of tho
important affairs of a larse seaport
appear to have been acquired by cloo
contact with the sage-brush plains and
wheat fields of Eastern Oregon.. Can
the East Oregonian. or anybody, ad
vance any reason whatsoever why a
first-class public official should he
summarily displaced and a strantrer
from Umatilla appointed, except that
lie was persona grata to . the . demo
cratic organization? I
Mr. Burke whom Mr. Moore
supplants as collector was pri
or to his appointment a resident
of Baker and therefore it is to
assumed he gained his know
ledge of the office from the
mining region of eastern Ore
gon. If such a high grade offi
cial as Mr. Burke could be
turned out of the Baker envi
ronment why cannot equal or
better results be attained from
our wheat country, when wheat
exceeds mining stock as an ar
ticle of export out of Portland?
Does the Oregonian consider
the customs collectorship a pink
tea job and is it afraid Will
Moore may eat with his knife
or spit on the floor when some
one is looking?

A good time to keep your
house locked and to report sus
picious characters to the police.
The old flasr means more to
the audience this year.

Just Plain Facts
Wo have no 8.50 wheat and are not trying to sell rainbows or pots of gold, but It Is
perfectly true that Montana leads tho world in quality and quauUty of smaU grain
productions.
The Truth is Good Enough
There Is no need of misrepresentation. Our country speaks for Itself. Hingham Is
the center of that portion of Montana that absolutely surpasses all others. If other
districts can raise as much wheat per acre they are Infer' r in some other particular:
water, dependable rainfall, convenience to main lino railway, lie of the land, general
attractiveness. Tho Hingham district is dotted with beautiful homes, blgred h""
and windmills and school houses. ttlfliif ''rtfsilssri14P i
Elevators Tell Their Own Story
Hingham has five big grain elevators and another is contracted for. No other town in
the country has an equal number of elevators, yet there aro towns every four to six
miles In either direction, with throe, four and five elevators. This proves our assertion
that Hill County Is Uncle Sam's most compact bread basket and HIiiKhuin Is the cen
ter. , . t j. j! . ., ., ,rt,r...i-. T-, A.-MfWii'W
Your Neighbor Tells the Truth
We have sold H00,000 worth of land to your neighbors during the 1917 season In spite
of the absolutely unprecedented adverse crop conditions. They are all satisfied. Koch
of them has made two to four trips to Hingham the past season and can toll you Just
what you will find. Let us take you to them so they may tell their own story. Thon
arrange to accompany us on our next trip to Hingham and verify our claims. It Is
only one day's trip and Includes two and a half hours through wonderful Glacier Na
tional Park, an education and pleasure. atfmiij "-mi-rm -n i i
Sure Its an off Year
But did you ever stop to think that the best time for you to judge land Is to see It at
its worst? We can show you high class, level farm land, well Improved, close to main
line railroad town, that produced SO to 60 bushels of wheat last year and has pro
duced 10 to 20 bushels this season. In spite of the unprecedented drouth. Our normal
rainfall is several times greater than we had this year. Our farm district Is as safe rs
yours. But it is new and our prices are only one fourth as high. Here is the chance
for the real farmer and also the Investor. Ask for Illustrated price list.

Hi
From the Farms of Umatilla County
to Your Table
Thats the Short History of ffPemeco Meats"
When you buy the Pendleton Meat Co's. Meats, you do not buy meats where
the animals have been driven for miles or enclosed in cattle cars over a long stretch
of railroad. These are unnatural conditions, and are sure to detract from the
quality of the meat.
The Meat You Get From the Shops That Handle "Pemeco"
Brand was Reared and Fattened on the Farms of Umatilla County.
Just a few hours from the farm to your table. The shops that retail "Pemeco
Products" are among the best in eastern Oregon Cool, clean and sanitary. When
you order "Pemeco" meats from any of these shops you are assured of meats that
are wholesome, nutritious and possess flavor that savors of the grain fields and
sweet pastures.
