Reed, who rises to the de fense of tb.086 113 "conscientious objectors" at Ft. Leavenworth who were pardoned by the war depart ment and paid off in full possibly for "faithful service." Read Mr. Reed's letter it is quite interesting from his point of view. - Just where Mr. Reed gets his au thority for the statement that those 113 men all gave their money for reconstruction work we do not know, nor does Mr. Reed say. But he in fers that they "earned" the money. How? By Interferring with our gov ernment in its war preparations to save the weak nations that were be ing ground into the dust by the Huns? Did they "earn" their two years' wages by Btanding idly by and assuming an "holler than thou" atti tude while Innocent women and chil dren were being massacred by the millions and men mutilated? Did they "earn" their money by refusing to help defend the country that gave them a home, food and shelter? It la obvious that Mr. Reed and the Courier editor look '.upon those 113 conscientious objectors in an entirely different light. And the war department. In pardoning those men and paying them off in cash for opposing the government, set a dan gerous precedent. Should another occasion arise wherein America must defend her rights and preserve her homes so her people can really "wor ship according to the dictates of their own conscience," there wlU possibly be many thousands of con scientious objectors. The Ft. Leav enworth affair was disgusting to every loyal American to every man with manhood enough to protect his own home and children from murder ers. There are two methods for hand ling such "men" aa those US at Ft. Leavenworth: Immediate deporta tlon, or confinement In the state avinma where no one can get at them to do them Injury. .

Some of the un initiated from points east frequent ly attempt a trip through California and Oregon during the winter, whether to show their nerve or the endurance ot their car, we do not know but they come. Strange as It may seem to some persons, parts of northern California are Just as "sticky" as Oregon. One man came through Grants Pass a fw (lavs aeo from the south. He had a good car when he left home. somewhere in Arliona, and thought he would hare little trouble, out his faith in the car, as well aa the roads, was ladly shaken hy the time he reached this city. Furthermore, his lanenacre was not what ought to have been uttered in Sunday school. A few days ago a car was stuck In the mud south of this city. It was pried out with poles. . Further north the "pole brigade" has been repeat edly called oat. A man wanted a Jitney driver to tak htm to a certain place and wanted to know the charge.' He as sured the driver that the distance was not great, bat the latter exclaimed: "Oh, h ! I don't care how far it is. What I want to know is, how deep is the mud?" That la the situation in some part ot Oregon and northern California today, although the roads the summer months are splendid. But Oregon is rapidly pulling her self out ot the mire.
