Wednesday, rain, moderate southerly winds In- f creasing in force. . OREGOXIAX SCKXTS 1A.GKR "The revelations made "by Carl Ackennan of the revolutionary origin of the steel workers' strike warn the American people that they should not necessarily regard a strike in these times as a simple dispute between employers and workmen as to wages, hours or conditions of work. It may actually be a movement in the gen era! war of the revolutionists to des troy the republic and to set up some new form of government, or no gov ernment, in its place. The revolu ' tionists are not agreed on any form f government, for they include so cialists, syndicalists who are the I W. W., communists who are bolshe- Tists, and anarchists, who want no government at all. Their one point of agreement is on desire to destroy ine existing government. That done, they would continue tfie revolution, each faction striving br force and ruthless bloodshed to become, su preme. That is the history of revolu tion for centuries past." Organized labor appears to have een spoiled during the war. Work men those in the shipyards have been drawing fat salaries and feast Ins on the best in the land. To get them to work and not interfere with the speedy prosecution of the war they were granted most anything they asked by the administration. The soldiers were drafted and com pelled to obey commands; the steel workers and others engaged in war work were petted and pampered by the administration given the best of working conditions, and short hours and the majority of them rode to and from their work in auto mobiles. That was the distinction drawn between the soldier and the man who was, for some minor defects, or no defect at all, permitted to remain at home while his neighbor was hur ried across the water to face the German cannon. Had war-work lab orers been drafted and been compel led to work under orders similar to those provided for the combat troops, possibly there would not now be so much unrest and so many strikes. These are times that try the sta bility of a government, and never did we need a man with the courage of a Roosevelt as we need him today. The Boston policemen's strike proves that. Thomas Nelson, who relinquished his Job at Astoria rather than dis miss Huttula, a foreigner who was accused of being a slacker, s;.yg there is nothing in Huttiial's actions from preventing him from beam ing a' citizen of the United States. . it Is said that Huttula registered for the draft, 'but he had conscientious scruples against going to war. There is the case in a nutshell: 'Nelson says Huttula did not recall his V. S. citizenship papers to avoid the draft, but "because he had scruples against going to war." If he refuses to fight for the country in which he makes his home, he should never he admit ted as a citizen. The United States has just been deporting a number of fellows like Huttula. The 'North can no longer point un accusing finger at the South for re sorting to mob law, since the Omaha Many Items WE APPRECIATE VOIR HI SIX KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY i Quality and Service affair. Such incidents are strong ar guments in favor of capital punish ment. There were no doubt many in that mob who feared that it the negro was not lynched he would get off with a few years' sentence and then be pardoned out to commit an other such crime or at least to set a bad example for other degenerates who, fearing only death, would, take desperate chanoes. Jail sentences hold no terror for such beasts any penitentary warden will vouch for that. Coos county won first prixe at the fair on cheese, tomatoes potatoes. apples and pumpkins and yet there are people who think that county does not yet need a paved highway and a' first class rail road. The (American Legion is campaign ing for 1,000,000 members. Why stop at a million? If the (Legion con tinues along the fine, patriotic lines of its activity lip to this time, the more, the better. Those striking Soston policemen who want their Jobs back ought to have jobs without any public re sponsibility. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 27. When Jose Wagemans, 23 years old, stopped here recently en route to Douglas, Ariz., where he will learn mining from the ground up, he was hailed as one of the men most dis tinguished for personal valor among all of Belgium's valiant fighting men. He was only a private when he was mustered out at Antwerp, Au gust 15, but he held almost enough decorations for bravery to cover his entire chest. Among these are the Belgian military medal with six Hons and five palms, indicating dis tinguished bravery In six great bat tles and meriting the cross on five separate occasions; the Kerensky medal of the Battalion of Death, said to he the rarest military decoration; the Tser cross; three crosses of St. George, the Russian honor corre sponding to the British Victoria Cross; the Belgian .Commemorative War Cross, with the volunteer crown and eight bars, and the Belgian Med al of Victory. Wagemans belongs to an Influen tial Belglam family, but said he knew and liked many Americans and chose to live In the United States. 'Henceforth Americans my coun try," he said, "Here I will ma1e my home." (Continued from page 11 ed to Mr. Drake for his splendid ar ticles.

Dr. Dillingham is a busy man these days overseeing the graveling of the road here's hoping we have 'better roads this winter. The Dr. Is also hustling getting rights-of-way for the big irrigation ditch soon to be through our valley, which will mean a mint to the ranchers.

COVXTV AGEXT'8 XOTES The Town Garden Many of the gardens of Grants Pass are made on soils that are de ficient in humus, and as a result after they are irrigated and cultivated a little while the soil gets very hard, just a little below the surface, nnd grows very slow. One of the best remedies Is to plant a crop in the early fall to turn under in the spring. Right now is the time to put it In. Sow vetch with rye, oats or wheat, preferably rye, at the rate of 0 pounds of vetch and 50 pounds of rye per aire. For a garden COxfiO use about 12 pounds 6t vetch and 10 pounds rye. You will he surprised at the effect of this on- your soil. You will get better resultsfrom this than you will from .the use of commercial fertill zers if you plant early and get a good growth to turn under In the spring. Do not delay the seeding. C. D.

Southpaw pitchers, who for. years have given way in the liuschnll world series hlill of fame to right-handers, this year bid fair to prove the stars of the championship contests. With the exception of out or two years notably 1918 right .handed twlrlr have 'been tho mainstays of their clubs for SO seasons and sel dom has southpaw pitching brought the world's champion title to any club. This year, however, the Cin cinnati Jfeds virtually have south pawed their way to vlotorv anil two left hnnders have shared with the Veteran Eddie Clcotte. the burden of bringing another American league pennant to the Chicago White Box. Two southpaws Puth Ruether. last year considered not good enough for the big leagues, and Slim Snlloe, twice discarded are the twlrle chiefly responsible for the Heds vic tory in the National league and It Is on these men that Cincinnati will depend largely In the fall series Ft. ler and Ring the two star right band ers, have long done their share, but Cincinnati fans are betting on Rne- ther and Snllee. For the White Sox. Eddie Clcolte. Is. of course, a pitching elnff bv him self, but Clauds Williams has won many games with his southpaw slants and Dick Kerr, has more than held his own. So It seems probable that the r. les this year may find Rnether and snllee battling with Kerr and Wil liams for premier honors. Left banders have held little prom inence in world series pltehlni with- the one exception of 191 S when the southpaws bad more than their share of glory. Babe Ruth won two games from the Chicago Cults, while Tvler and Vaughn did most of the hurling for the national leaguers. ADMITS EiST WSlUR (Continued from page 1) lutlonary war to order the American navy anywhere at any time.". Secretary Hitchcock pointed out that the senate had already adopt ed a resolution asking Secretary Daniels for a report, on the landing of the sailors and said he thought It was beneath the dignity of the sen ate to "harrass the department up on matters with whlvh we are 'very little concerned." Senators evidently were proceed ing the asumptlon that peace had been concluded, which was not the case. Senator Hitchcock said, lie ex plained that supervision over part of the (Dalmatian coast had been tern porarlly alloted to the United Rtntes by the supreme council and that the American sailors were landed merely to maintain conditions as they had existed. "But we are not at a' stale of war with Serbia or Italy," Interrupted Senator McCornilck, republican, Illi nois. Senator Hitchcock agreed, but added that during the war all orders for American military and naval forces were not Issued In Washing ton. "When did we go to war with Italy?" asked Senator Lodge. "We didn't," replied the Nebraska senator. "Yes, hut It was Italians we drove out," rejoined Senator iLodge. Senator Hitchcock declared the landing of American sailors bad been necessitated by the fact that the Italians were virtually In Insurrec- tlon.
