Eastern Clackamas News
Recent
Senator Johnson has received
flattering encouragement in car
rying Michigan, Nebraska and
Montana as the republican choice
for presidential nominee. Hut as
one or two swallows do not make
a s immer, so two or three states
do not make an election sure.
For our part we hope the distin
guished and virile senator from
California will not be nominated
at the republican convention. In
our opinion his policy, to quote
I)r. Barrows, the president of the
U. o f California, “ o f purely Amer
ican interests, a restricted in
fluence abroad and avoidance of
any responsibility growing out of
our participation in the war,” is
most vicious while plausible on
on the surface. Whether pleas
ant cr not, the war taught a
great truth, which prophets had
been instilling for years to un
heeding ears, namely that geo
graphical divisions are arbitrary,
and that all men ar.e brothers,
and “ are made o f one all nations
of men for to dwell on all the face
of the earth.” No nation can
permanently shut itself off from
the rest, and the stronger the
nation the more imperative the
obligation to use its strength for
the help of the weak. A nation’s
strength and power are a trust,
and unless used in accordance
with the terms of the trust, they
will be withdrawn. If this nation
of ours does not rise to the call o f
duty as a world power, its pres
tige ami power will soon vanish
a wav.
The Oregon Voter deserves the
thanks of the editorial fraternity
for compiling and publishing in
its issue of Aprl 24, “ the whole
mess of platforms" at the coming
primary election, with the slo
gans o f the respective candidates.
If anyone doubts the integrity
and high moral sentiments o f our
would be political officiais, a
perusal o f these aforesaid slogans
will soon convince him As Bro.
Chapman remarks at the close of
his introductory editorial, "they
furnish not only amusement, but
food for thought. ”
Elsewhere we publish a very
gratifying letter from the Joint
Alumni Relief Committee, in
which the writer indicates that
there is still some doubt as to how
Clackamas county will go on the
educational tax bills. We are *
however, assured that our citi
zens won’ t be found wanting.
The N e w s again reiterates that
it will be a disgrace if these
measures fail to pass. In Ger
many it is estimated that owing
to under-nourishment during the
war, the children have been
dwarfed and stunted, the baneful
effects o f which will be felt for
generations to come. The dam
age thereby resulting, cannot be
estimated in terms o f dollars and
cents, The same will be true in
intellectual life, if the rising gen
erations are not properly nour
ished mentally, the effect will be
as disastrous as in physical life.
This issue o f the N e w s con
tains several advertisements of
the various political candidates.
The N e w s as independent, is
not specially favoring any par
ticular one, except home falent.
As being comparatively new in
this county, the editor does not
know most o f these gentlemen,
and is therefore not qualified to
pass on their merits.
THANKYOU
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
The continued support given
by the N e w s to the higher edu
cational measure is apparently so
effective that once more I have
to write you a letter o f apprecia
tion. As you know; there is a
kind of support that does a tre
mendous amount o f good, and a
kind that costs about as much as
it gains. The N e w s treatment
of this issue is so vigorouus and
intelligent that even if we do
n >t, finally carry Clackamas Co.,
the work you have done will
have cut down the adverse ma-
jority very greatly.
The campaign for the colleges
is going much better than you
would suppose.
The favorable
sentiment is so jrreat that unless
an untoward incident o f some
kind happens between now and
May 21, the bill has an exceed
ingly good chance to get a sub
stantial majority.
Sincerely,
Colin Dyment.
Joint Alumni Relief Commit
tee.
