France and England are not say
ing much as to peace terms at the
present time, but tbey will speak at
the proper time. Peace terms may
be put up to Germany through Pres
ident Wllsou. but they will, and
should ha to a great extent, be dic
tated by the two powerful nations
across the sea. Germany has put to
shame the bunch who are running
hell, and should be made to pay, and
pay so dearly that their children's
children will feel the sharp lash of
punishment
And when the proper time comes,
England will speak a few choice
words to Turkey.
FIGHTING FOR THE FVTVRE
Peace negotiations are likely to be
long drawn out if the Germans, after
destroying northern France and Bel
glum, imagine that they can get
way with it unscathed. A great dis
appointment is awaiting them if they
think -they will be permitted to re
tain their stolen goods without pay
ing Indemnity, by relying upon the
Idealism of their foes, particularly
ot our president, in protecting them
from the consequences of their
Crimea. The world will see, when
the big settlement takes place, that
France and England will have much
to say.
Germany has been doing her ut
most to eliminate Belgium and
France from the industrial field. The
region through which the Germans
have been retreating is one of the
great industrial regions of Europe.
Lille, Tourcolng and Roubaulx are
the great industrial towns of France
Cambral, Doual and a score of smal
ler places now In the war news were
formerly busy centers of manufac
ture. Lens, whose complete ruin
has been reported. Is the chief coal
mining town of France. Scattered
about it are the smaller villages
which, with Lens, supply almost all
the coal essential to French indus
try. Between these various towns
runs a regular network of transpor
tation canals.
These factories, mines and canals
are all being destroyed by the Huns
together with the cities in that district-
Everything of value which
could be moved has been taken back
to Germany; what could not be
moved has been ruined or utterly
.wt roved with German thorough
nC88 by fire and dynamite.
It is the German's calculation that
when he has completed his work of
systematic and deliberate deetruc
tlon, industrial France and Belgium
will be wiped oft the map and that
it will be a matter of years before
either of them can be restored. I
these years German manufacturers
will profit by the absence of do
competition, and in this way the bit
den of the war will be shifted
French and Belgian shoulders.
The Germans expect to be able to
explain that such ruin along with
their many atrocities has come
France and Belgium as a natural
consequence of war. They will
"weep" over the ruin, as the kaiser
wept for Louvaln, for Rheims an
for much else, but they mean
keep up their campaign of arson
- the last, regardless ot the flaunted
statement that they have ceases
destroy.
POLITICAL ADVERTISING
Regardless ot the fact that poll-1 ernment.
tics should be smothered during the
present great crisis, there ta an
united effort on the part of the dem
ocratic party which effort is being
engineered by President Wilson to
return a solid democratic congress,
and in short elect democrats to all
other, but less important, offices.
In the past It has been asserted
that political matter could not find
Its way into the columns of the
Courier, unless it savored of repub
licanism. These statements, which
were absolutely untrue, were used
by a few would-be politicians to fur-j and Dent balked and by their attitude '"- " " u""" n"u

paralleled record Oregon has made In
all war time activities and the alacrity
with which the state has responded
to every call for patriotic endeavor is
due in part to the leadership of Gov
ernor Wlthycombe.
Both in the halls of Congress at
Washington and In the Governor's of
fice at Salem, the people of Oregon
are fortunate In having experienced
men with a record 100 per cent Ameri
canmen who are standing behind th
President for a vigorous prosecution
of the war to a speedy and victorious
conclusion. .
Senator McNary, Representative
McArthur, Hawley and Slnnott, and
Governor Withycombe ihould all be
reelected. They are at their posts of
duty. None is making a campaign.
They are too busy serving their state
and nation. They should be returned
for continued service. Election of
new and untried men, lacking in abil
ity and experience to tit them for the
positions, would nut only be unwise
t this time, but would fall far short
of the patriotic duty ot the voters of
this state.
IS POLITICS ADJOURNED?
After "unconditlon surrender" the
greatest mistake the allies could
ever make would be a make-shift
peace. Here is where we should pat
tern after "German thoroughness."
It has taken the Germans four
years to learn that a "scrap of pa
ler" Is worth dylns for, if that scrap
of paper represents honor.

World news is all right, but OUR BOYS
want NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want
the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented
from sending their papers free to anyone, even
boys in the service. Consequently a national
movement has been started by Col. William
Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting
as President of the Home Paper Service of
America to give the boys what they are calling
for. Every community is joining the movement.
Let us see that our boys arc not forgotten.
Send to the publisher of this newspaper
whatever amount of money you can 6
cents or $50.00. We will publish a list
each week of those contributing, and the
amounts contributed.
Every cent received will be) used to send
this paper to our boy at tho front If at
the end of the war, there is any surplus, it
will be turned over to tho local Red Cross
Committee.
There is no profit in this to the publisher
even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold
at a profit. With war prices prevailing, and the
high rate of postage on papers sent to France,
our cost will scarcely be covered by our full
subscription price.
