Eastern Europe does not know
whether the war’s again or yet.
These are dark days for Germany
because she herself put out the light
of truth.
Buy your thermometers now—in
dications are that they will be high
er next summer.
Washington, according to reports,
is in the dark about what is going on
in Berlin, and there is a good deal of
reason to suspect that Berlin itself
dues not know which end it is stand
ing on.
France is very much against ad
mitting the Bolsheviki to peace con-
ference. The reason, of course, is
that it’s supposed to be a peace con-
ference.
To be successful in Berlin demo-
cracy one must be a good bullet dod
ger.
It appears that the last faint hope
of the wets is the February thaw.
It is about time for Pancho Villa
to play a return engagement.
It is a burning shame the way the
U. 3. Government is treating our
wounded soldiers. Our boys who
went over there and freely offered
their lives for their country and the
preservation of civilization, and who
iust an arm or a leg are now walk
ing around In needy circumstances.
» ou should set down and write a let-
er to your congressman and both
f your senators demanding that a
bill be passed at once giving these
boys who have lost a limb a pension
of at least $75 per month. Write a
letter at once and mail it, and make
it peppery.
If somebody would
nominate
Henry Ford for president and all the
till Elizabethans would vote for him,
we could quit looking for Presiden-
tial timber right now.
When love feeds on beauty alone
it soon turns up its toes.
Wonder if the senators who ob-
jected to the president’s going to
Europe will object to his coming
back.

Mr. Editor: In the last issue of
the Hermiston Herald I noticed the
following resolution was passed by
the dairymen at their recent meet-
ing at Hermiston: "Be it resolved,
that it Is the sense of the dairymen
of the project that the local mer-
chants owe protection to the dairy
farmers to the extent that they de
cline to handle any of the butter
substitutes in a way to compete with
dairy products."
Being one of the dairy farmers of
the project, I feel my worthy broth
els make their assertion rather too
sweeping when they include us all.
And I wish to use the columns of
your worthy paper in hastening to
inform the public that I do not be-
long to the class of citizens who say
to the poor man. “if you cannot af-
| ford to buy my milk and butter for
your children's bread then they must
eat it bare."
1 would like further to inquire if
we have a class In whose "sense It
is" that the merchant, the producer,
and the manufacturer, owe any pro
tection to the poor man’s child?
What wonder that the birth rate
has declined What mother love and
Instinct would not recoil
the
world of today; what woman would
wish to help furnish these innocent
lives to be crushed between the
grinding mill stones of indolence and
greed? No doubt the Hermiston
merchants will soon receive an order
from the packing industry to "cut
out" dairy products, as it hurts their
business. If it is made possible to
get milk and butter for the children
of the poor, they will neglect to buy
their tough beef and strong bacon.
Therefore the butter trade must
cease. These children must be edu
cated up to do without the things
that hurt their trade

Brother editor, I am a dairy farm-
er. But just put me in the other
column. Proclaim my colors to the
public, that they may know where
to find me. Down with the oppres
sor. has become my slogan; my voice,
my arm, and my money are behind
it. If the banishment of Olio from
the tables of the poor, in the inter-
est of the dairy farmer, is a sample
of the freedom our boys have bled
for on a foreign battlefield, then it
has cost too much. Down with the
oppressor, whether he wears the red
cross or red button. Nose him out
with the blood hounds of justice and
speed him to the bone yard.
