Tillamook Headlight, November 5, 1 ADVERTISING RATES. Germany and Canada. ASKING QUESTIONS. Legal Advertisements. There is so much of futile discus sion of topics unrelated to actualities or possibilities, that the flutter of talk anent the German ambassador’s say ing that Germany now holds itself free to make a conquest of Canada need not, perhaps, be too severely criticized. We are reminded by it, however, of that juvenile story end ing by the boy with the apple saying: “Dere ain’t a goin’ to be no core. The conquest of Canada by Germany is neither going to be made nor at tempted, now or at any time. 1 he German militarists have demonstrat ed that their system is one of the highest intelligence. We need nothing more to assure us that they would not, even were there an open ocean track, and their navy in position to convdy a fleet of transport ships, with Canada an independent nation ality, without any claim to British naval protection, undertake such a hopeless task. The silly question, “Is the kaiser mad?” which is not worth discussing now, would then have to be answered. At the utmost, no transport fleet carrying men and supplies could land more than 200,000 men on Canadian shores. Once landed there, they would be 3000 miles from their base. Can ada has now a population of at least 8,000,000. A large majority of these are males and the males of military age are of a peculiarly strong, virile, warlike type. Canada could put 2,- 000,000 fighting men against the 200,- 000, every one of whom, it is not too much to say, has been trained in the use of firearms from early youth. There would be such deadly “snip ing” from 10,000 points that the snip ing” in Belgium by men and women hardly knowing how to pull a trigger would be forgotten. It would be such deadly sniping as was once done be tween Boston and Lexington, Mass, on two sides of an old bridge ‘ where once the embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard ’round the world.” When a second army of 200,000 men could be got across sea they would be unable to find any trace of the first one. Once a Roman emperor, when Rome was in the full flower of her warlike glory, sent a mighty army of highly trained legionaries against raw and untrained but undaunted Germans, waiting for them in the forest around Teutobergcr. The re sult of that adventure is told in all histories of Rome, but nowhere else so well as by the Tacitus, saying that when the Roman emperor learned of the almost total destruction of his mighty force, he cried to his general: "Varus, Varus, give me back my le gions." It would be strange if a German emperor could repeat such a mistake, as one certainly would do who would attempt the conquest of such a country as Canada, 3000 miles away, and two-thirds of the distance by water. Such a thing would be so strange that it will never happen. Nevertheless, there is much ponder ous talking "about it and about,” as ! Omar says.

The ‘‘drys’’ had a big advantage on election day. Who wouldn’t vote dry when the rain presisted in pouring down and wouldn’t let up? Wouldn’t that jar you. Only two of the measures passed. That shows that the people are about tired of that knd of leigislation. ----- o----- The people of Oregon seem to pre- fer a good politician to a good busi ness man to represent them at Wash ington. But they made a bad mistake. There is one good thing in future elections, the saloon vote will not ’’knife’’ Republican candidates. It is a good thing for the Republican party that the state went dry. When a dentist can work our dual system of legislation for an adver tising stunt it is not surprising that so few measures succeeded in getting through. Russell Hawkins addressed a num ber of questions to two of the cand.- dates for county commissioner. There is nothing wrong about that if the questions are not to boost one candi date and "knock" rhe others. But why select just two of the candidates for county commissioner and not pro pound the same things to other aspirants for commissioner? We’will not take time at present to answer, but probably will refer to it later. We think it is proper at this time to ask Mr. Hawkins some Questions. We are informed by representatives of the timber owners that they are not opposed to improvements in the county, provided the money is econo mically and carefully expended. We will accept this as gospel truth and believe they are sincere in this. Well i our citizens argue and talk. We are not in favor of bonding the county, but we want to say this that now it is conclusively proven that the timber interests have taken such an active part in the politics of this county, we Tillamook pco- - think we understand ‘ """ *'• — ple fairly we' 11 that will resent this at ■............ some future time - and carry a big ____ issue :. ...........
