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.

Western chipyards have been accused of robbing the!
government of $1,000,000,000 on ship contracts, witnout
seeking to awaken:undue sympathy for Pacific Coast male
factors, but solely in the interest of truth and sanity, one
may rise to remark, that there hasn't been much-more than
$1,000,000,000 scent bv the federal Shipping Board alto
gether, and the eastern shipyards, which are not included!
in the scandal, have had most ot it.
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.
Tame snakes are used in Morocco
to clear houses of rats and mice. The
sight of a snako set-ins to terrify the
rodents. ' :
Any citizen who wants to come safely through this
year's campaign had better keep his political gas mask
ready.
