AmF.RTlMNC; RATES GIVEN ON APPLICATION SUBSCRIPTION RATIOS: One ear II 00 Bi.i Munths 100 Three Months i .76 Btnule Copies -OS MOKHOW COl'NTV OFFICIAL PAPER We cannot conceive that there should be any opposition whatever to the proposition to vote $290,000 bonds in this ccunty for the con struction of permanent roads, yet it develops that some are opposed to the measure. This opposition, how ever, is only slight, and the measure should carry by a practically un animous, vtte. Oregon, and Morrow county as well, as a part of Oregon, is begin- ning to wake up to the realization that the time has arrived for a for ward movement. Nothing , has yet . been proposed that means more for the development of the state at - large than the road bonding meas ures, and while we believe that the people of this county will stand by our own bond issue, we cannot aford to overlook the still larger program that takes in the entirt state. The six per cent county indebted ness for permanent roads amend ment, the Roosevelt Highway bill and the market roads tax bill should each receive our suport just as readily as the measure pertaining to our own county alone, and we must recognize the fact that selfishness in this matter is not going to get' us as far along as we should like. It is purely a matter of pulling for every measure that means the build ing up of Oregon. We shall hope to see those who take up our. bonding program for discussion before the people of the county, include in their argument support for these various measures, that each one may have - just as strong support at the polls as we give the local issue. The Roosevelt Highway would open up 350 miles of coast country and put Oregon on the map with one of the most scenic roads is the world. It would mean the expenditure of $5,000,000 to be paid by the govern ment and Oregin's motor license system, not by the taxpayers. The people cannot afford to vote it down., BE ON GUARD. A. C. Townely and Joseph Gilbert, the one president and the other Non Partisan league organizer, are to stand trial on charges of disloyalty. Townley is said to have published a pamphlet in violation of the espion age act, and Gilbert has been in dicted for having made public utter ances designed to discourage pa triotic co-operation during the war. Demurrers of both men have been overruled by the Jackson county, Minn., district court, If these men are guilty of having attempted to obstruct the work of government officials in raising an army or have interfered with the authorities in any other manner while the country was at war, they should pay the penalty. The United States spent billions of dollars to make the world free for democracy and many thousands of our young men gave up their lives' for the cause of humanity. During the conflict traitorous propagandists were busy all over the country and an effort was made to undermine the constitution and overturn the SEE government. Many of the prop-( 0 agandists were foreigners, but not all i of them. Enemy aliens were sent to internment camps, while treacher- j ous Americans were placed in the federal prisons. Unfortunately, i some of the guilty ones escaped de tection and conviction. It is not too late to bring all such to the bar of i justice. The fact that the war was won and that the peace treaty is about to be signed cuts no figure. Let all offenders be properly pun ished. Some of the I. W. W. leaders con victed before Judge Landis in Chicago have been allowed bail j ss pending a new trial. We note, how- j ever, that bonds for the release of jss William D. Haywood, now serving Ipa sentence at Fort Leavenworth, have j SB been refused by the United States ; circuit court of appeals, the prof- j S fered securities being regarded as insufficient. Haywood was the head and front to the I. W. W. conspiracy and was sent to the federal prison for a term of twenty years, which we hope he will be compelled to s serve. He has the right of appeal, but he is not entitled tp his freedom unless his conviction is set aside by due process of law. No promises jjjj made by him that he will not encase in new conspiracies can be taken, for he has no respoct for the law and !does not believe in any kind of ! civilized government. He should not be turned loose at a time when jthe I. W. W. disturbers have re- newed their attacks upon the estab lished order of things. The red flag has made its oppearance in Cleveland and other cities and the followers of "Big Bill" are engaged in making trouble wherever they are allowed to nest. All over the world there are signs of unrest. Anarchists, Bolshevists and the "direcj action" miscreants are boldly asserting their damnable doctorines in many places and entei ing into conspiracies where they do hot dare work in the open. There are some thousands of. such scoundrels in the' United States. These men are not honest toilers, but agitators who expect to share the spoils of the fovernment can be destroyed and all kindi of property turned over to the human vultures who are too lazy to work for a living and seek to enjoy the fruits of the labor of others. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty and all patriotic American citizens should be constantly on their guard. The world is about to enter upon a new era, but there will be no such thing' as absolute security even under the league of nations until the anarchist agitators are put where they rightfully belong. It may be that the Russians will be unable to free themselves from the rule of the Lenines and Trotzkys for a long time to come. The lesson of Russia is plain. Bolshevism should not be allowed to gain a foothold in the United States. None but Americans on guard. Salt Lake Tribune. ' ' Miss Florence Lusted, supervisor of the art department in the public schools of this city, left yesterday to. New York City to take a summer course in art at the Columbia Univer sity. She will stop enroute in Iowa to visit her parents. Pendleton Tribune. Mr. Ford Owner WHY PAY EXCESS PRICES FOR REPAIR WORK? We have adopted the system of the Ford Motor Co. in doing all repair work on Ford cars at a contract price. The advantage is: you know at once the cost of the work. These prices were compiled by the Ford Motor Co. and are considerably cheaper than if the work was done at $1.00 per hour labor charge. Bring your car in, we- tell you beforehand what the cost will be. All of our work absolutely guaranteed to be first class, and second to none.
