We come suddenly awake and read
that the Germane offer to give up
the wgr on the President’s condition*
of peace, and the fear gripe our hearts
that having won the war we are in
danger of losing the peace.
We review those condition* in the
light of their acceptance, and they are
open to endless definition*. The Lon
don Time* put* Its finger on two w*ak
place* In the fourteen point*. It says:
“They contain no specific provision
for any single one of the manifold
crimes. Nor do they make any refer
ence to the arraignment of the master
criminals who Inspired the organised
atrocities."
The President has called for the "de-
atructidn Of every arbitrary power any
where that can separately, secretly
and of Its own single cholc« disturb
the peace of the world"; but he has
never called specifically for the de
struction of Germany’s power.
The President has called for guar
antees that "national armaments wiH
be reduced to the lowest point consist

never called explicitly for the disarm

The peace of the world today hinges
on the right of the German people to
have a decisive voice and vote in the
affairs of thelc. country. If they had
had such participation In the affairs
of their country In 1914 there wduld
have been no world war.
In years past a large percentage of
the voters at each election have not
appreciated their opportunity to have
a voice In the guiding affairs of their
country. They have neglected to make
use of fhelr rights given them by
others who have for centuries fought
for these privileges. Such noglectful
and slothful people are moral slackers.
It is as much a moral crime against
your community to refuse to do your
civic duty as It is to refuse to keep
up your end in any of the war activi
ties or Liberty Bond drives.
Go to the polls and vote.
As an economic measure the Normal
School bill is a winner. It costs $60
a year to instruct each pupil in the
public schools of Oregon; 20,000 fall
to make their grade each year. State
Superintendent Churchill says that 40
per cent of the failures are due to poor
and untrained teachers, thus $400,000
Is spent annually In re-teachlng these
children. The millage provided in the
measure would produce about $7$,000,.
hence the state would save the differ
ence betwen $400,000 and $76,000 by
having trained teachers.
