F A L L S P - IT Y N E W S FALLS C m VOL. XIII 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.
