HEAVY WORK ON THE FIGHTING LINE
(Continued from pa<e 2)
dard of the vast majority of Ameri­
can citizens of German birth or des­
cent. for they have been in America
long enough to become American­
ized; to have imbibed American
ids as of liberty and arlf government.
Such as these we can fraternize
with an*I treat them as equal fellow
citizens and neighbor*. But we will
lie leery of the German emigrant
hereafter. rt’r prefer that they re-
main in the fatherland and assist in
earning the money with which to
pay the enormous debt they will
owe the other nations of the world.
We don't want them l>ecause they
are a nation of cowardly bullies,
liars, violators of women and ene­
mies of civilization.
It is possible that with years * f
right education the German peoptv
may become worthy of association
with right thinking arxi right acting
people. But this will lie when a
new g«*nerati«>n of people have for­
gotten the diabolical acts of this
war anti when the German men ami
women of today have |«aid the price
of their infamy and unworthiness to
civilization, when the twins, coward­
ice and brutality, have disauj>ear«*«i
from the German character. We
know the penalty is a fearful one
vet we know it is justly merited.
The Portland Telegram must be
very much afraid that Walter M.
Pierce is to lie Oregon’s neit gover­
nor. That paper objects to the use
of and allusions on the Pierce cam­
paign cards to war measures and
our boys over there, and thinks
such cards are next door to sacri­
lege. At the same lime the Tele­
gram urges the re-election of Gov­
ernor Withy combe because of his
patriotic acts
Why may not Sen­
ator Pierce be accredited with pa
trio turn as well as Governor Withy-
combe? May not a native born
American citizen lie just as patriotic
and just as zealous in support of the
war as an American citizen by adop­
tion even if he was made a citizen
in Oregon? The Telegram is so in­
tensely partisan that it thinks re­
publican pnlrioUsm is several shad« s
better than democratic patriotism.
Politics are not adjourn«*! in the
tone of that paper by ny manner of
means, yrt we give it credit for u
strong leafier in support of President
Wilson in a late issue.
H. F. Ramp. a former Albany
merchant but now a resident of Sa
lem. is registered as a bond slacker.
He has not bought a bond of either
issue. Being the socialist candidate
for governor Ramp's refutal to as­
sist the government which protects
him is a slain on Oregon socialists
as a party. His son Floyd is now
doing lime in the federal peniten­
tiary at McNeil island for interfer­
ing with the working of the draft
at Roseburg.
