A PROGRAM OF NEGATION AND HOPELESSNESS N HIS keynote speech yesterday Senator Lodge said not one good word for the League of Nations. He uttered no syllable expressing: hone of peace throutrh the machinery established by the treaty of Versailles to which all other allied powers have assented. He had nothing but words of denuncia tion ior tne league and those concerned therewith. All this despite the fact that America's chief war aim was to assist in forming a world league to enforce peace and defend civilization without the necessity of adding to the colossal arma ments now in vogue. On January 8, 1918. President Wilson before both houses of congress officially announced the view that America held as one of its war purposes the formation of a league to enforce peace. His address was warmly applauded and not a man, rer publican or democrat, raised objection. Not a word of protest was made in congress until eight months later when the war had been virtually won. By his action, shown by a record that cannot be questioned. Senator Lodge is guilty of trying to repudiate America's greatest war aim. He is guilty of wishing to break the promise this na tion made to its soMiers and to the world. In lieu of the League of Nations Lodge would set up the status quo ante. He would leave us where we were before the war. Tins is his position absolutely when stripped of camou flage, j The United States has the privilege of accepting the Lodge leadership if it wishes. But there should be no misunderstand ing as to what such a course will involve. It means America puts its trust in the sword and not in exercising our leadership in a group of nations pledged to preserve peace and to respect and defend the independence and territorial integrity of mem ber nations against an external aggressor. If we take Lodge's judgment we must prepare for mounting military costs. The present congress has appropriated $820, 000,000 for the army and navy for one year an amount in ex cess of the ordinary federal outlay before the war with Ger many. We are paying approximately a billion dollars a year in interest on the war debt. If we take the policy of isolation we must in common sense greatly increase our appropriations for war preparations. The amount voted by congress this year will merely enable the army and navy to exist. No great improve ment is provided for and there must be vast improvement if we are to put our faith in the bayonet. Let the taxpayer take note. Mr. Lodge is neither consistent nor logical as to foreign af fairs. He scorns to aid bleeding and helpless Armenia though we have been asked by the world and by Armenia to take the mandate. But he would go into Mexico uninvited and un wanted to do the bidding of oil kings and mining magnates. He exploits the fact that some Americans hare been killed in Mex ico. He did not say that 100,000 Americans died in France and that with a League of Nations in 1914 there would have been no war. The Lodge program is one of negation and hopelessness. He would throw overboard the peace program for which civiliza tion struggled. To a world crying for progress he offers poison. (East Oregonlan Special.) HEaJMISTOX. or.. June . Owing to the enthusiasm shown b y the wide awake people of Ttonruiiiuu In the big celebration held there recently, and the iutorest roused by them over thotr wonderful reclaimed lands, the people of the East End of the Umatilla project are beginning to sit up and take notice that very little has beou known and much misunderstanding felt concerning this beautiful and prosperous seotion, made so by the help and encouragement of our good Uncle Sam and the energy and thrift iness of the settlers. However, as little seemingly has been known in the post, the knowledge of the project and the wonders being accomplished lenlt out little by little and people from neigh boring states and even more easterly ones, as well as many of our own state, are coming into this section.

MANY SEEN IN WESTON FOR PIONEER REUN ON the load of household furniture passing?" The answer to all is: "Some farm er and his family have come to the project and secured a new home." A Prosperous Una, The country is going through a very prosperous era, the hardest stage be ing passed when many came taking up homesteads and experimenting with the new methods to be used in re claiming lands from the arid to the fertile state. The process of just how the work should be done was a matter of Im portance but the early settler not knowing the hard work entailed In civilizing a sage brush and Jack rab- hit land to fertility, took the matter lightly and found that instead of rais ing alfalfa easily thoy were making a terrible disturbance with Old Mother Earth, that would cause them much uneasiness. Station Work Helped. But good old Uncle Sam got busy by means of his experiment stations, studying up the proper way by rais ing crops and after instructions ware given, and pages of typewritten matter distributed to those who had already settled upon the land, and others de siring So make settlement, more en couragement was felt by the farmers and extra trials made until the land was placed in a good state of cultiva tion, and with plenty of water avail able, the desert Is, as was promised in the Scriptures, blooming as the rose. There need be no doubt now as was felt in early days that Irrigated lands cannot be made the most productive of any in the country, even the most sandy sections have turned out won derful crops, being handled carefully. enrlcheaV and well watered. A partic ular thing; to be noticed in the raising of alfalfa is that it never falls, the shortage in the crdb. If any, being due to lack of Irrigation at the proper time. This cannot be said of other crops, however, as climatic conditions effect those- here as in other places, onejuMy farmers are turning thefr attention to alfalfa raising prin cipally, j ,r j r : I --'-I''' BIG EXPENDITURES NOT NECESSARY. " HERE are stories that eastern politicians want to do away fJL with the direct primary preference voting for president Si" because they say it is too expensive. Bat the primary need not be expensive. A candidate may get upon the ballot at slight expense. It is not at all necessary for him to hare a million dollar slush fund or anything of the sort. As a matter of fact if he has the proper sort of reputation he needs no big boodle bag. He is better off without it. General Wood would be stronger today as an aspirant for the republican nomination if he had not had such a big campaign chest. It is not necessary to do away with the preference primary voting in order to reduce campaign expenses. Furthermore it is to be questioned if such a change would reduce expenses. The primary' forces expenditures to be made in the open. Under the eld method money was paid in secret for the delivery of needed votes. The supreme court ruled that a constitutional amendment is a constitutional amendment and being such is part of the basic law of the land and cannot be set aside just because you may be thirsty. To change the constitution will require action by three fourths of the states of the union. Mr. Hughes is the strongest man the republicans can name, but if nominated his views as to the League of Natieus should be embodied in the platform, not the views of Hiram Johnson.
