Our quota is only three hundred dollars. And yet, after lagging weeks be hind every other county in the state, Morrow has raised but a little more than a third of what she has been asked to contribute. Six cents from every man, woman and child in the county would put us over the top. This is not a drive. It is an opportunity. It is an opportunity for our people to show proper appreciation of one of our greatest Americans. It is an opportunity to give to a fund which will build a lasting memorial to a worthy citizen. Theodore Roose velt needs no eulogy, and far be it from us to attempt a eulogy. Neither is it necessary to build monuments to keep alive the spirit of Americcan ism which he so ably aroused. It is but a splendid tribute to the greatness of the man; an apprecia tion shown in this manner by every one worthy of being called an Amer ican. Surely Morrow county will not fall down. Whether we raise our quota or whether we fail, the object of the fund will be accomplished just the same. Will we be able to say that we had one opportunity to pay a lasting trib ute to the memory of a great man. and took it? Did You Know That the British government is selling its war souvenirs, including helmets, guns, bombs, tanks and huts. That Percy A. Copper, state engi neer of Oregon, was born in Hepp ner and lived for a number of years in Grant county. That of the $30,000,000 left by the late Andrew Carnegie, $7,000,000 will go to the government as inheri tance tax. That last year the Um'ted States Steel Corporation paid its employees an average of $1700 each, compared with $1280 in 1917, $905 in 1914 and $717 in 1902. That James S. Coward, shoe man- j ufacturer, says that the conditions produced by foreigners bidding against one another for our leather is principally responsible for the present high cost of shoes. J Out With Them. j Leslie's. We have dealt too gently with the unpatriotic alien nuisance. It is dis-, turbing the industrial situation. It is j blockading prosperity. It is sowing the seeds of revolution. It is in spired by the Bolshevik and the I. ' W. W. It must be abated. There has been teo much "pussy footing". There has been too much palavering with the element of un rest. There has been too much ca tering to the army of aliens that has poured in upon the United States with no other purpose than to seek 1 the benefits of our free land and to give nothing in return. A distinguished Democratic mem-i ber of Congress recently wrote to a ' friend that "never before have I , heard witnesses so insolent as those ; that have appeared in the name of labor. They are hurting the cause they profess to serve. I only hope the real workers will soon discover it." Strikes in our great industries are not inspired by patriotic American workmen nor do the latter counten-; ance violence. This is usually the work of aliens. The names of strik-1 ers arrested for inciting riots, dis- j turbing the peace and intimidation , around Pittsburg are significant and include the following: Kameski, Kaurich, Troski, Gordos, Sloviki, Jerkovich, Yelovich. At the West , Penn Steel Company's plant, the news dispatches report that seven hundred American-born employees were at work with only six foreign- j trs out of 450. This tells the story. ! It is high time that these undigest-) ed ar.d indigestible aliens should be r-s-fjred for .".at they are worth. They sb.o no loyalty to the country :hat has given them a home, a living and ages beyond the wildest .-(reams of their avarice. They seek no permanent abiding place here. Fealty goes to foreign countries. It is time for the Liberty Bell to be jng again. We welcome the immi grants who come to make this their home, to give allegiance to the American Rag, and to stand fast for the principles of our Government. These have been an important fac tor in the upbuilding of this new land. We recognize their worth. For years they have been welcome. They 're among our best citizens. Our doors have been open wide for we needed them, and will welcome strangers to our shores as long as they blend with our population, ac cept American principles and follow the American flag. But those who will not seek nat uralization, who despise our Consri-' tution, who spit upon our flag, and are at the beck and call of soap-box orators and false leaders of labor of Bolshevik and I. W. W. stripe, should be driven from every factory, shop and office. They have been fed, clothed and enriched, only to turn to bite the hand that feeds them. Wejp have dealt with this unassimilated 5 element too gently. We have been j EE patient too long. If neither of the S3 reat parties rises to the emergency 1 jjpj ind seeks to put an end to the ma-jSs lign influence these have been exert-1 EJ ing in our industrial field, a new po- :Ss litical party will arise, made up of 3 true Americans, whose motto will be: ! "Our flag, our country and our free- dom." There are those who regard EH "twenty-three" as an unlucky num- EE ber. Whatever ground there may be EE for the superstition, it is to be noted hat on October 23 there were simul 'aneously disclosed three pretty big scandals connected with the Admin istration. One was, the hoarding by speculators of millions of pounds of sugar in New York, in order to get for it about twice the legitimate -rice, at a time when grocery stores throughout the city were unable to provide to their regular customers enough sugar for the most impera tive domestic needs. The second was a conspiracy by some of the Gov ernment's own agents to connive with liquor sellers at violation of the wartime prohibition law, for the con sideration of heavy bribes. The third was alleged wholesale fraud in war contracts at Chicago, running up in to many millions of dollars. There was, as we recall it, strenuous and vociferous opposition from many sources against a Congressional in vestigation into the conduct of the war. The motive of some of it is now apparent. Harvey's Weekly. The Administration is now trying to find out how it was that Edsel Ford's father didn't get elected to the Senate, as the President wanted him to be. The fact that he didn't get votes enough doesn't seem suffi cient to some folks. But as it was sufficient to satisfy the Senate, and as the Senate is the supreme author ity in the case, we don't know that it matters how long little pussy chases her own tail. Harvey's Weekly. DCXN-WARD. George Dun and Ola Vv'arl, well known young people of this city, were j married at the Federated Parsonage 'on Monday, the Rev. H. A. Noyen, .pastor of the church, officiating.
