Severn) eulogistic speeches were niado incidental to tho ireseulali and many nice things were said about Major Kelly, who. leaves the idly next Tuesday to onlernelivo war servicu in tho signal corps of the army. -' 'Tho major, who is no novice when forced to tho wall in spreading soft soap, came, right back and said lots of nice things about tho Elks.

Everything wo soil Is guar anteed to glvo satisfuctlou, l&C SENATOR LA FOLLETTE in a speech at St. Paul be fore the Producers '-and Consumers' congress, justi fied the sinking of the Lusitanin, declared that Germany had a right to sink American ships and destroy American lives, that American grievances were insignificant and that the nation had no business going to war. - Since the war began, La Follette has been doing the kaiser's dirty work in the senate. He has done everything he could do to impede- the resorted to every parliamentary trick possible to retard and hold up necessary legislation. He . lias introduced numerous bills and amendments to make the war unpopu lar. He has made it his business to give aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war, when the existence of the nation is at stake. . , ' La Follette 's assertions "Put him out!" "yellow!" store order so that he could should not have been. allowed to. lie should have been arrested for treason. . There is no reason why such treason, even it the author is a United btates senator. La Follette, should be imprisoned or sent to Germany, where he belongs.. The time the declaration ot war. Lvery citizen is either tor tlit United States or for Germany, and La Follette docs not hesitate to declare for Germany. As Bryan repeats, in the last edition ot the Commoner: , "Acquiescence in the will thru their authorized representatives, is the hrst law oi republics." There 'is no alternative but anarchy. Before the government acts discussion is .proper; , after .action, obedience is a duty." .. GERMAN E XPOSURES by the department of state of German duplicity surprise no was pretending friendship for the United States, its am bassador and agents were, plotting and conspiring against 1lie government, as they plotted and conspired against all oilier friendly governments It is part of German "kulttir" that knows no law and re spects no treaty. It is evident that the amount of evidence collected the American secret service, which, having mastered the German code, has been able to accumulate damaging tacts and expose German duplicity The purpose of publishing by the president, but it is evidently for the purpose of off setting the German pence propaganda by proving to the world the utter unreliability German government and the with it for peace a government without honor and whose word is valueless. SHOULD PAY UP HP HE supreme court decision on the Hanson bonding plan clarities the situation by establishing the valid ity of improvement obligations incurred for paving, water mains, sewerage, etc. There is no longer any excuse for delaying payment of interest and assessments overdue on the ground of their supposed illegality. There never was any" excuse, except an opportunity to dodge payments of honest oblitraUons. I nstead of parleying and ing t hese payments, collection ot assessments and interest on the same should begin at once. Those who cannot pay their assessments and there are some can at least pay the interest. The policy of dilly-dallying has badly crippled the city financially and should cease; The vast' majority of prop erty ownei's can pay up, and should not seekito further embarrass the city by schemes of. frenzied finance to' escape honest debts. Had the council followed this policy from the start there never would have been any serious financial crisis. The really creditable displays at the county fair de serve a better patronage than is being accorded and every one should co-operate by attending and thus helping make the fair a success. Attendance from Ashland has been pilitfully small, despite the loyal support by Med ford of Ashland's celebrat ions and entertainments. A little co operation would be appreciated and help the unity of the vallev. GERMANS SUFFER fJIt A NO lll'.AlHJUAIiTKliS 1 1'ltANt'E OP Till'. lll.'ITISll AliMY, Sept. 'J I.

II MUMU 1.1111 LU I LU TO GO TO FRONT Two companies of the signal coriw reserve of the army, which have been in intensive training ut Monterey, Cal., will leave in a few days for the east and will presumably sail at once for Frunce. The entire membershi of tile two companies is made up of employes of the Pacific Telegraph & Telephone company, from the engin eering nnd plant departments, nnd each is a specialist in his own line. Many Oregon men are members of the companies, but no Medford men are among them. The employes of the Home felephone company of this city nnd vicinity nre enlisted in the signal corps reserve and are subject to call to duty any time. So ns not to cripple tho service of the Pacific Telegraph & Telephone company, only a lew men from the various points over its system are called oat from any one office at a time. None were chosen from 'Medford in the first call.- The Pacific Telephone & Telegrnpr compnny has granted all its employes who have been called out into the signal corps reserve a leave of ah sence during the duration of the war, 'ird has patriotically voted to pay each man any difference that may exist in his war service pay from his regular pay with the company. The same policy will apply to all em ploycs cnlled out during the war. G4IES AUTO COMPANY El C. E.
