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.

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.

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.

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

life of the nation, Then,'too, later will come the Sons
