T ? PEACE ? ?
At on«* time. President Wilson
advocated peace without victory,
n peace that could he accepted
without humiliation, without in
tolerable sacrifice« that would
leave a «tin« of rosentment—an
honorable peace «uch a« an hon
orable nation might lie expected
to agree to. Pope Benedict XV
has addressed a note to the be
lligerent nations offering such
terms us President Wilson BUg-
^•‘jted. namely:—Reduction of
^Eipiamont, freedom of the Boas,
restoration of Belgium, Serbia.
Romania: indpendence of Poland
und the statUBof Alsace-Lorraine
to be an after-war conference.
So cloMely doe« it follow President
Wilson’s one-time policy as to
cause much alarm in the ranks
of munition manufacturers and
speculators. It is argued that
peace upon these terms would
really leave Germany the victor.
England and France not having
been able to crush her; but now
that the United States has been
drawn in, see visions of great
pelf.
There is much apprehension as
to the Htand the Catholics in this
country will take in the matter.
There is one thing that appears
to be perfectly clear and that is,
there will be no peace so long as
the munition manufacturers and
their coterie of newspapers can
prevent.
It would seem that this would
be an opportune time for good
Christians, who believe in the
efficacy of prayer, to humbly get
down on their marrow-bones and
beseech the Great Ruler of the
Universe that an honorable and
lasting peace may be brought
about.
speculators in war material. A
part of their platform read thus:
“ We therefore demand that our
Government, before proceeding
further in support of our Euro
pean Allies, insist that they, in
common with it. make immediate
public declaration of terms of
peace without annexation of ter
ritory, indemnities, contributions
or interference with the right of
any nation to live and manage
its own internal affairs.
“ We demand the abolition of
secret diplomacy.
“ To conscript men and exempt
blood-stained wealth coined from
'he suffering of humanity is re
pugnant to the spirit of America
and contrary to to the ideals of
democracy.
“ We declare freedom of speech
to be the bulwark of human lib
erty, and we decry all attempts
tc muzzle the press or individuals
upon any pretext whatsoever.
A declaration of war does not
repeal the Constitution of the
United States, and the unwar
ranted interference of military
and other authorities with indi
viduals must cease."
If this party continues to grow
it will probably become necessary
to brand it as pro-German and
therefore treasonable.
LAW BREAKER.
LIBRARY COMMITTEE ORGANIZE
The average American m >• ^
abiding and violates the law only
in the heat of passion or becaisf
of great injury and oppression.
Bomb throwers, dynamiters and
assassins rarely have American
names- Officers in an Oklahoma
town recently raided some joints
capturing 1000 gallons of booze.
The names of those arrested are
a« follows:
Fete Committi, Mike Palvar-
audo, Angelo Farum, Mike La«
araff, Joe Alick, Angelo Ross,
A. Segna. Bill Prantil, Joe Tes-
sone, Anna Frantil. Mrs. Stew
art, Mary Swartz, Kate Strong.
It is the foreign element that
stirs up trouble and violates the
laws, yet the Government would
import a large colony of Belgium«
and cause more trouble. Better
deport the undesirables and close
the ports until anarchists and I.
W. W’s. are weeded out.
The Library Committee met at
the city hall Monday night and
organized.
President Mrs. C. L. Hopkins,
Secretary Mrs. W. Ward,
Treasurer Wm. Bohle.
It is requested that all who
have books that belonged to the
former library pjeaselretum them.
Any who have books they would
donate will be very kindly appre
ciated.
In the near future a reading
room and good library will be
open to the public. A step in the
right direction.

VISIIT EASTERN OREGON
R. M. Wonderly and family re
turned last Sunday from a trip to
Eastern Oregon. They visited Mrs.
Wonderly's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Illingworth of Tygh Valley and
found them hale and hearty. They
traveled 45 miles up the Columbia
Highway and were delighted with
the granduer of the scenery.
Crops are fine in Eastern Ore
gon, although newspaper reports
complete failure—probably to ex
cuse high prices.
They left Falls City August 3.
and traveled 500 miles. The trip
was a delightful one and they feel
greatly benefitted.
