MORROW I'OISTY OFFICIAL PAPER
One hundred and twenty-five dol
lars to date is the sum total which
Morrow county people have given to
the Roosevelt Memorial Fund. 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.

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. They
will make their home here where Mr.
Dunn follows the carpenter's trade.

Quality In
Printing
A GREAT MANY Busi
ness men are becoming
just as particular about
the kind and quality of printing
they use as they are of the goods
they sell or the clothes they wear.
In fact they are demanding
"Printing of Quality" and nothing
pleases us more than to be called
upon by particular customers
for "Quality Printing."
Does your printing have the
"Quality" trade mark?

too small for our efficient com
