POLICY.
With this issue the now editor of
tfio News takes up a burden that a
xumber have laid down (or "laid
down" on) of guiding the destiny of
tho paper. The newspaper business,
-while perhaps mo.ro complex than,
alters, and requiring a greater meas
ure of versatility, is the same in gen
eral principles and practice, and the
eercise of good Judgment and due
diligence will no doubt reap as great
x reward as falls to the, lot of other
Enes of effort.
But it must do its part faithfully,
ionestly and energetically.
We will try and do that. We will
andeavor to merit the appreciation
nd support of the people our mission
Is to serve. We will pursue a policy
at all times 'bat we believe after
careful analysis will redound to the
greatest good to the greatest number,
We do not expect to please all. No
rigorous policy ever did.
But a newspaper without a definite
policy is like a ship without a rudder
sailing unchartered seas. It is a
weak-kneed spineless affair at which'
even its lukewarm friends look as
lance. TWi n ro tiAw f-n Cm-lncrftalfl nml I,

lave this to say: That as long as we .

"VENGEANCE IS MINE!"
We republish the following from the
press dispatcher:
With the American Armies In
France. July 29. (Night) In a vil
lage taken and retaken several times,
Anally remaln'ng In American hands,
our boys found several comrades who,'
Ead been bayoneted and killed by -the ,
JiuiiB an nit; icLf nuuuucu uiiu iieip-
3es8.
If a civilized or even a seml-clvi-Ezed
people had no other evidence of
the existence of an 'Almighty God,
the conviction that there Is one would
le born out of the fact that there is
no human agency powerful enough,
adequate enough( to devise a punish
aient to fit a crime like this.
"Vengeanqe Is Mine; I will repay!"
thunders across aeons of Time Into
the endlessness of Eternity.
THE NEWS WANTS NEWS.
The News has a mlbslon to perform
and intends to step right out and per
form it. Its mission Is one of laudable
aimpllcity that of serving the locality
ia which it lives, and moves and has
Hs Being. Not only In Springfield, but
by virtue of geography, right down in
the heart of tho McKcnzie and Mo
S&wk valleys and the territory contig-wins-
thereto. It wants the nows
from these localities all that It can
gnt We don't care a whoop whether
jnwaro a farmer, a stockman, a dary
mun. or what, your religion might be.
We-want to know what you and your
neighbors aro doing to make the
world better. We want some one of
lair education iu your community to
tuke the Job of correspondent and for
compensation therefor we offer 12.00
per column for real news of our varl
eusVctlviyes. We dont wa"nt much
ia tho way fof comment upon your
neighbor's affair but we do wont to
knov wljt he Is doing. Just remem
ber this sad old world of ours Is given
up to ACTION right now, nnd tho
Nov8 wants every lino It can obtain
that spoils action. Last week wo pub
lished n notlco of a homesteader who
tiled upon a picco ot land In tho south

The widely advertised motion pic

best pictures showing the work ot the
German spy system which was in our
country. Mr. Whlto, proprietor of
the Bell Theatre, announced that he
has been ablo to get this picture for
the good of the people ot this place.

J. Flynn is chief ot the secret service

Great Interest is being manifested i
throughout tho Northwest In the Na

Army of tho Republic which is to bo

to 24. It will be the first encampment
over held in tho Pacific Northwest,

eoldlers of 18G1-'C5 will over come to
the Pacific CoaBt. Portland expects
thousands of people from Washington,
Idaho t.nd Oregon to be present to
welcome the veterans and to do them
homage. They are the sires and grand
slrpg.pf the boys of today who aro
fighting in Franco for the same eter
nal principles. Members of the Grand
Army, Sons and Daughters of Veter
ans and their famllles can purchase
tickets at ono cent per mile by secur

of tho nearest G. A. R. post. ' Portland
will entertain tho Grand Army In
magnificent style. Tho great parado
