UNFITNESS FOR CITIZENSHIP In several Oregon communities movements are on foot to prevent enemy aliens from becoming citizens and to deprive o f their citizenship those pro-Germans who have already become citizens. It is a movement which should be encouraged. There are numerous cases in Clackamas and Marion counties that need attention. These cases should be brought to the attention o f the courts, and drastic action taken against them. There are a number o f men who have already secured their citizenship whose actions during the last 18 months shows them to be unfit for citizenship. Others, whose final applications have been made are still less fit. Their attitude toward the government, their refusal to purchase bonds and stamps or their purchase o f just as small an The Kaiser should be seized where ever he is found, and turned over to the Belgians who should take him out to face a firing squad at the identical spot and hour that witnessed the execution o f Edith Cavell. Though in truth, such an end is too merciful for the greatest criminal o f all ages. SHERIFFS NOTICE OF REAL PRO- PERTY ON EXECUTION "PAUKE" DISTURBS SCOUTS.

Although repeatedly driven off fitness for citizenship, and it is the duty of every loyal American to see that no such men are allowed to become pitizens and that such men who have already secured the coveted privilege are deprived of it. Specific proof of unfitness for citizenship, if reported to this newspaper, will be laid before the courts concerned at the proper time. GLAD TH EY ’RE GO IN G The Mennonites,who refused to fight for the country in which they lived, protected and prosperous, are going to emigrate to Canada, says the Portland News. There they hope to live in safety, garnering such dollars as they may and letting their neighbors do their fighting for them when the foe attacks their liberty. Mennonites hot only refused to fight,but their leaders were rabid anti-war propagandists, thus helping the kais er. They did, however, grow food on their fertile farms, selling it at war prices, for the Mennonite is fond of the dollar in war or peace. The United States loses nothing by the emigration of these people. It gains in patriotism by their going. We are sorry, though, that our neighbor and ally in this war is to be inflicted with this tribe of duty shirkers. j The Hubbard Creamery recently bought the Hersh berger Warehouse business and now it has just purchased real estate adjoining the Creamery sité, all of which indi- c-ites the success of that institiAtion, There is no limit to the big achievements that can grow out of small savings in the beginning, if your ambition goes no further than marriage, home children, education for the children, a happy old age it will require money.

T * - * World news is all right, but OUR BOYS want NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want the home newspaper. Publishers are prevented from sending their papers free to anyone, even boys in the service. Consequently a national movement has been started by Col. William Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting as President of the Home Paper Service of America to give the boys what they are calling for. Every community is joining the movement. Let us see that our boys are not forgotten. Wants, For Sale, Etc Send to the publisher of this newspaper whatever amount of money you can— 5 cents or $50.00.

The soldiers and sailors who will soon come back to us will return better Americans than ever—and there will be a lot of them. Soon they will be organized into a mili tary society that will dwarf anything of the kind that the past has ever known. What they may call their organiza tion is immaterial, but the insignia of their order—their pins, their buttons, their badges—will soon become as familiar as those of the Grand Army of the Republic. And soon auxiliary orders, wives of veterans, mothers of veter ans, daughters of veterans, will spring up to grace the life of the nation, Then,'too, later will come the Sons and Daughters of Veterans. So be it! For it is the-mani fest destiny of these multitudes of young Americans re U V J turning from thein country’s service to make us all better (Conducted Boy citizens—better Americans! It is now intimated that Governor Withycombe may fire Warden Murphy of the Oregon penetentiary, because the expenditures at the “ pen” have been too large. It is now said that the governor has. been investigating these expenditures for several months, although just before election he declared he had no intention of making any ehange in the wardenship.
