PHONE ' ' ALBANY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22 EVERYBODY'S CONCERN o "With the Quarrels of Europe we have nothing to do," said President Wilson once upon a time, trying to persuade hrmself and the public that what both hoped for was true, and America would be able to keep out of the conflict. But irresistible events soon swept away all such laissez-faire doctrines. " The world-tide swept America into European interven tion. America could not let Europe alone because Europe would not, and could not, let America alone. . "Russian affairs " said Lloyd George a few weeks ago, "are not the concern of the western allies." But Russian affairs have made themselves the concern of the western allies. Lenine is clearing all interior and southern Russia of his foes. Armed Bolshevism is pushing far into Siberia and threatening India, "and pressing against all confines on the east, south and west, and looming up as a genuine world-menace.1 - -......; Wherefore the supreme allied council in Paris, with Lloyd George concurring, has decided to take notice of Bol shevism. The peril is not to be fought openly by armed fnfr-e, hut bv -snbterfuee. through the lifting of the eco nomic blockade and the sending of food and other neces saries tsrihe Russian peasants. ,. With the basiq wants of the Russian people cared for, it is hoped that they mayrbe wean ed away from Bolshevism. The plan may "work, or it may not. The incident, how ever, serves to emphasize once more the big facfof the present-day world, thaf no nation lives unto itself or dies unto itself, but that the affairs of every nation are the con cern of every otner nation. -, THE ECHO By Re. Gay Fitch Phelpa Heart of the heart of the heart of ma, Oeep aa the pearla in the deepest sea, What are you aeekinv to say to me? Tears of the rosea or breath of the balm T Passion of morning or science of calm T Gleam on tha water or moan of tha bayT ' What are you trying forever to say T Truer than aver my hates can be, Heart of the heart of the heart of met Singers may die but their songs will live on, Prophecy holds when the prophets are gone; Fingers which stray o'er the light atringa awaking Memories of that which the lone heart is breaking, Wafturea of joy in the wondrous re-taking. Martyrs whose tears are to-day's cloud of sorrow, Iris the bow of fulfilment to-morrow. Better that man should meet man aa his brother, Better than scorning and mangling each other; Better than drinking the blood that la spilling From the veins of the man our injustice is killing; Wise to take healing narda Into the band; - Kind to sow myrtles and palms o'er tha land; Wisdom forbids we should cause much regretting; Mercy invites us to constant forgetting. Are these the things you invite me to see, v Heart of tha heart of the heart of met Far in the palace of opal and gold, Tell me the things which have never been told. Shake from my brain and my spirit the clod. Link me to being which links me to Cod, Tell me the plan and the purpose of old.. i Voices deceive me and envies disgrace, Writing a lie on the brow of the race Fixing a devil's name Into each face; O, take my wounds to the healings of thee, . . Heart of the heart of the heart of me. Deeper than- pitiful pitiful pain. Deep aa the graves of the things we have slain, Is there not faith in the innermost core T la there not love which loves on evermore T Are there not angels unwaked from their dream. Waiting for aye for the blase of the beam Of the hope and the truth and the pardon and prayer Too holy, too true for the touch of despair? "Lips may have issues out-living their breath; Kindness rests under no sentence of death; Art, imitation, and wealth may beguile. Living as God is the soul of a smile. . Leap to life's surface clean togaed and free, Heart of the heart of the heart of me. HSNSH3HI HAMILT0NSIIIIII3? aS' jj A Stitch in Time ere First 1920 Half Saves Nine.

Comment of the State Press' L Snappy"'Glrsn1ngs,' from Press of 'the Valley the Hiram Johnson of California m'ay be wrong about some things, but he is everlastingly right when he warns the Al bany legislature that "if you can exclude Socialists in New York today, tomorrow you may exclude Republicans in Mis sissippi and Democrats in Pennsylvania. . , , "You have been looking at Mexico through a keyhole," complains a Mexican representative to an American senator. "Come and convince yourself of the real situation." Really though, it seems much safer lopking through the keyhole. Another evidence of getting down to constructive work is a moving picture offer of $550,000 for the Dempsey-Car-penter fight. Our Leadership' Lost The league .of tte,tions has become an actuality, without America, who won the war,- to establish it. The United States has joined Turkey, the outcast and Russia the parish among nations, in remaining- outside . tfte United States of -the world alone among the belligerents still at -war with Germany. ' The fault is not that of the Ameri can people, but of their representa tives in the senate, who defy the popu lar mandate and refuse to act. Capi tol Journal. Worse Than Treason If government investigators - can prove their statements that ship builders of the Pacific Coast defraud ed their government of millions of; dollars through the payment of false! vouchers, there ought to be a prose cution that will place those responsible in institutions provided for criminals dangcrojn to the,, public safety. Astoria Budget. Australian Ballot For 30 years, Oregon has had the Australian ballot in its purest form. Through its. operation Oregon baa been, pretty thoroughly cleansed of gangsters, ring rule, political bosses, ward heelers and corruptionists. The fame of the state for pure government has become nation-wide. That repute along with the great war record for the commonwealth has been a source of congratulation to the Oregon citix enry. The legislature of Oregon alone, remains as the one place in which rep resentative government is discredit ed and debauched. Oregon Journal.
