GOOD RIDDAStU
The spectacular attempt made to
assassinate Attorney General Pa'
mer and many other public men In
various parts of the "United Stales
had at least one good effect. It
hastened the long-contemplated de
portation of dangerous aliens.
It Is announced that doxens of an
archists, I. W. W. and bolshevist agi
tators and other internal enemies
'hare seen sent out of the country
during the past month. Others are
coing right along. This is in addi
tion to the big shipload of alien ene
miea interned during the war and re
cently exported to their native lands.
The deportations are carried out
In compliance with a law enacted
last October, which provides that
"Aliens who are anarchistic; aliens
who believe in or advocate the over
throw by force or violence of the
government of the United States, or
of all forms of law; aliens who dis
belleve in or are opposed to all
forms of organized government;
aliens "who advocate or teach the as
sassination of public officials; aliens
who advocate or teach the unlawful
destruction of property, or aliens
who belong to organizations which
advocate or approve any of the above
crimes, shall be deported from the
United States."
The law thus far has been applied
gently rather than rigorously. There
is little danger of its being abused;
the spirit of American fairness and
tolerance will see to that in the fu
ture as it has in the past.
It is to be expected Uiat the of
fenders and their friends will raise
vigorous protests, and the public
must be on its guard lest it be de
ceived. It is time to rid the country
of this plague, and the belated ef
forts of the government should be
upheld by the active support of the
public in every community affected.
This is a free country, which can
preserve its freedom only by stern
elimination of foreign fanatics and
malefactors who seek to destroy its
free Institutions by violence and
crime.
FARM IMPLEMENTS
A note in a recent government
news letter, runs to this effect:
"The average farm implement is
only about half worn out by use
fclone. The rest of the wear is due
to rust and decay. Make the great
est possible profit out of machinery
y using it continuously for profit
able work until It is worn out."
This is good advice for all times
of the year, but especially timely
now when the harvests are in,, and
ithe farm machinery which probahly
was used continuously during the
farming season must stand idle.
If this machinery, before it is put
away for the winter, is carefully
overhauled, oiled and repaired, and
then properly housed, it will be
ready for use next season. On the
contrary, if it is left standing in
tarn yard or field unrepaired, un-

UILLHOAKra
The state highway commissioner
of New York has recently issued an
order which will be greeted with ap
proval by a great many people. It
calls for the removal of all advertis
ing signs placed along the state high
ways on highway property. Every
thing Is to go-latent medicine pos

The discovery of a few chunks of
iron tinder some of the scales over
which food is weighed in the county
by the state inspector probably has
something to do with the high cost
of living. We find on In ventilation
that freight rates are not as high
here as at Grants Pass, neither are
labor costs as high, yet food and
other necessities are selling from 5
to 50 per cent higher here.
If the local food commission is not
a farce It will make a like Investi

report of the findings. Del Norte

SHAH OF PERSIA WILL
VISIT UNITED STATES
l-omlon, Sept. 23. An anuouuee
ment that the Shah of Persia is on
his way to visit Iondon brought in
timations In the newspapers that the
government would accord him . an
enthusiastic welcome and all the
pomp and pageantry of the visit of
that other Shah in Victorian days
would be repeated. All this is now
of no avail as the Persian legation
announces that "the visit of the
Shah is quite unofficial."
It is considered improbable that
the Shah is traveling with more than
a few personal attendants, lie is
said to be simple lu his tastes, and
cannot afford to follow the tastes of
his father who was accompanied by a
brilliant staff of more than SO per
sons. While In London he twill like
ly be housed in the Persian legation.
The recent agreement by which
England becomes an important fac
tor in Persian affairs makes the visit
doubly important to the government.
Later the Shah will visit the Unit
ed States.
IN MEMORY OF YANKS
WHO FELL AT CANTIGNY
Paris. Sept. 23. The memory of
the American soldiers who fell at
Cantlgny is to he perpetuated at
Montdidier by the establishment of
a municipal hospital constructed
from American Red Cross biirracks.
Over the entrance to the administra
tion building will be an inscription
reading: "Gift of the American Red
Cross to the Town of Montdidier. In
Memory of the American Soldiers
Who Fell at Cajitigny."
Cantigny, in the valley below
Montdidier was the first American
battlefield in France. In the begin
ning of the allied advance last sum
mer, the Americans raptured Can
tigny against tremendous odds, ad
vancing further than any other
troops in taking it.
Many Americans lie hurit-d on the
hillsides about the town. The
French country people are keeping
the graves green, many of t tie fam
ilies having "adopted" American
iira'ves.
