Germany and Canada.
ASKING QUESTIONS.

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

Wouldn’t that jar you. Only two of

the people are about tired of that

The people of Oregon seem to pre-
fer a good politician to a good busi­

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

because neither heat nor cold afreets them. The Majestic

it stays there always. A’’r tight joints and pure asbestos
