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.

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.

The answer to all is: "Some farm

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.

of alfalfa is that it never falls, the

to lack of Irrigation at the proper

crops, however, as climatic conditions

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.
