THIS IS YOUR WAR
If a person, regardless of party
affiliations or whether he belongs
to any party whatever 1b a strong,
loyal supporter of the war and gives
his dollars for the support of the
cause, what more could be ask of
him? Is it necessary that he be a
Catholic or Protestant, a democrat
or republican, a "wet" or a "dry?"
The people of America are win
ning the war and the voice of the
people should be heard, through the
representatives they see fit to choose
and send to Washington. No one
la trying to dictate to, or control,
the president. All such talk is party
"bunk." Wilson had thousands of
admirers in all political parties, aside
from democrats, until he requested
the voters to exclude everyone who
was not a democrat. Could any par
tisan appeal be more plain more
unfair?
You, who have stood firmly by
the four great liberty loan drives,
who have donated to the Red Cross
and other worthy causes, and have
given your sons who are now offer
ing their life's blood for the cause
of liberty you, unless you belong
to a certain political faction are
not wanted at Washington, nor are
you to have a voice in the selection
of a person to represent you at the
capitol, if the president's advice is
followed.
Verily, your misfortune lies in the
fact that, you are not a democrat
one of the chosen people a "rubber
stamp" as it were.
However, you still retain the right
of franchise and can assert yourself
at the polls. All that is necessary
is for you to do your own thinking
and you undoubtedly will you do
not need a dictator.
Xo one man "kept us out of war"
your hoy is right now "over there"
fighting and no one man nor no
political party can win the war
alone. An united America will win,

starving if she could reUlu her co
lonial possession, hold the territory
she had butchered and control cen
tral Europe and Russia.
The year 1917 found her some
what upset by her diet of doath she
had the stomach ache but beiug a
natural-born fighter, insisted upon
having her colonies and retaining
Russia and an outlet to Asia.
In 191 8, realising that ahe Is not
in the best of health, she says she
is willing to give up stolen territory,
shake hands and start all over again.
But by 1919 she is going to be so
sick that all ahe can do will be to
crawl home, lie down and call in Old
Doctor Allies. And Old Doc will
soon convince her that ahe is too
sick to be allowed to order anything
for herself and will prescribe the
necessary medicine. All she can do
will be to swallow it.
After the war is over ana the
United States has to compete with
cheap foreign labor and cheap help
on foreign merchant marines, a pro
tective tariff might not be a bad
thing for the working men of this
country. Factory employes like to
draw big wages, but if our manu
facturers have to compete with
cheaply made "sweat-shop" goods,
high wages are likely to go glimmer
ing. The present chrome ore situa
tion is a fair example of what might
happen.
Next Tuesday when you go to the
polls, remember that the boys and
girls of today will be the men and
women who will have charge of af
fairs in the near future, and cast
your vote accordingly for the nor
mal schools.
No matter how it goes next Tues
day, we will still live, and be neigh

come worked up to such a pitch that
they will refuse to be neighborly for
a while.
America will win this war regard
less of who is president. Presidents
come and go, but, like Old Glory,
the president of the United States
is never dead.

ALLEN EXPLAINS THE
PENDING FISH BILL
Salem, Oregon.
Oct. 26, 191S
Mr. C. C. Chapman,
Editor Voter, Portland, Ore.
Dear Mr. Chapmou:
I have just read with much inter
est your article. In this week's Voter,
upon the "Hogue River Fish Bill."
It Is true, as you state, that the real
Issue In the Kogue river fish ques
tion has been beclouded by strife and
lost in controversy to a large part of
the voting population, but a brief
study of the situation will show the
unprejudiced voter how to mark his
ballot on November Sth.
To those who do know conditions
along the Rogue there are no per
plexing features in the present bill.
and it is not "difficult," as you
state, for them to vote conscientious
ly, and intelligently. Please bear In
mind in this connection that every
senator and every representative In
the last session of the legislature
from each county touched by the
waters of the Rogue voted in favor
of the passage of the bill as it will
appear upon the ballot. These men
Know tne situation and were In a
position to vote "conscientiously
and Intelligently." Their vote lg a
good one for the voter who is not In
formed to use as a guide.
The only issue Involved in the
present bill Is the use or prohibition
of the seine and the set net in com
mercial fishing on the Rogue. It
does not destroy the commercial
fishing. The people of the Romie vol
ley, sport fishermen and commercial
fishermen, are practically a unit In
favor and support of the bill. The
measure finds its way upon the bnl
lot through the referendum,' not be
cause there was a popular demand
for the referendum, but because Ira
defeat meant enough In the way of
dollars and cents to the monopoly
that the monopoly was justified In
paying the" price for the circulation
of the petitions
permits the use of the draft nut with
the eight Inch menu through .which
the smaller fish can uhhs, and allows
part of tun run of salmon to reach
the upper river to spawn and to sup
lily cheap "food for the resident of
the valley. Tim cannery at the
::ioath of tho river will still vol lu
supply of raw material, but It will
buy more of lu suliuou from Hie
draft net flshermou aud raumrt
sweep all the fish from tho river
with the seluu.
The bill which the volors are to
pass judgment upon will, If support
ed, take the Rogue fish question out
of politics. It will be romoved as
a "baneful lufluence" in legislative
sessions, and will preserve tho right
of tho common people.
And boar In mind on election day
that the people who know the Rogue
fish question and who have no sel
fish interest to serve, are votlirg in
favor of the bill. This statement Is
supported ly tho fact, pointed out
above, that every senator and rep
resentative from tho affected coun
ties supported the measure when It
was passed by the legislature. They
wero In a position to vote "Intelli
gently and conscientiously."
Respectively submitted.
WILFORD ALLEN.

IJOCHE DIGESTION
The Germans, apparently, have
been eating more than they can di
gest. Back in 1914 Germany an
nounced that she was going to eat
the world alive especially those
who opposed her will.
In 1915 she began to realize that
her eyes were bigger than her stom
ach, so she cancelled part of the or
der, deciding to 'be satisfied with
commercial domination of the world,
military domination of Belgium,
northern France, Russia, British co
lonial possessions, the Balkans, Italy
and parts of Asia and Africa. , ,
With the advent of 1916 she de-

that few ever reach the upper wa
