Thursday. November 11 1920
Armistice Day
Two years ago the armistice
between t h e warring nations
went into effect. At eleven a. m.
November 11, 1918. the order to
stop fu mg was given. After four
years the thunder o f the guns
ceased and the dreadful carnage
ended. What a relief it was to
know that now our hoys were
safe from being killed, wounded
or taken prisoners. Then we
thought that in a fewmonthsthe
details of arranging for a perma­
nent pence would be completed,
but after two years we are still
in a state of armistice although
<>ur European allies have made
peace with the enemy. However,
ii is now probable that formal
peace will not long bp delayed.
Hut when it comes we must re­
member that there can henofrue
peace if it is merely artificial. It’
we really want a peace which will
he enduring we must work for
the rehabilitation of our former
enemies as well as of France and
Belgium our allies This will he
easier for us than for either Eng­
land. France or Helgium for we
have suffered less. Hut this re­
habilitation is moral rather than
material. Germany is able with
out much help to build herself up
in a material wav. what she needs
ini.t is a moral regeneration from
the false philosophy which caused
her downfa’I. From the delusion
that the state can do no wrong
being unmoral, that might makes
right and that solemn national
covenants may be abandoned on
the specious pretense of national
peiil. Hut if we are to help her
along this line. \\t must first look
to ourselves ar.d set* that our own
conduct is moral I \ sound, and
that we are not open to the same
repp tach.

Bruce Dennis, editor o f tfce La
Grande Observer, has been elec­
ted state senator for the joint
counties of Union and Wallowa,
defeating that veteran politician
Walter Pierce. We extend hearty
congratulations to Bro. Dennis,
who has attained flattering suc­
cess with his paper, which wields
a powerful influence in Eastern
Oregon, and we predict he will
make himself felt ir. the senate.
the President
Now that the republicans have
won such a signal victory, it is
time that carping criticism of
President Wilson should cease.
No doubt, he feels more acutely
than anyone else the defeat of
his party, especially as it involved
the repudiation of his ideals.
Broken in body, saddened in
spirit he should be regarded with
commisseration. In the height
o f the campaign words were used
about him which were almost in­
excusable. It is a sad commen­
tary on our boasted civilization
that the mistakes o f public ser­
vants are so magnified and ex­
coriated while the good they may
have done is hardly noticed. It
will not lie surprising if twenty
years from now, President Wil­
son will receive a better recogni­
tion than at present, as by that
time the good he has done will be
more apparent. It is not with­
out probability, that some o f his
actions which arc now reprobated,
will then he vindicated. Anyhow
the onus now lies on the repub­
lican leaders to correct his mis­
takes, and to take care lest in
doing so, they make greater ones.
Hats off to the President o f the
United States, a man of like pas­
sions to ourselves, who through
the past four years bore a burden
of respos'hilitv greater than any
on»* else in this land. No wonder
he broke down. Bouquets are
sent to the sick, not brickbats.

The Non Partisans met with
disaster in the recent election,
and Townleyism is now on the
wane. Like other movements of
the kind it is of an ephemeral
chaiacter. and may be described
as a brain storm. Hut it should
not be forgotten that there are
causes for brain storms, as they
indicate something wronfc in the
body
So political brainstorms
are due to disorders in the lx>dv
politic, which saner political phy­
sicians than th e non-partisan
leaders must not ignore.
Hi yatj says Wilson should re­
sign. ‘ T iis i< the nvst unkind-
»•it cut of all.”
