THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. Editorial Snap Shots. ----- o The Board of Equalization had lit­ tle or nothing to do. It must be that everybody is satisfied with the assess­ ment. • One of the timber men last week wanted to know why the Dougai man was so anxious to have a road built from Netarts to Bayocean? Why? Why? Why?. That is a bad record for Tillamook County. Since the 1st of July there were twelve divorce cases filed and fourteen marriage licenses issued. If that speed is kept up we will have tc admit that marriage is a failure. The Democratic slogan, “The Presi­ dent kept Us out of war,” is about busted, for it was the president who nearly plunged the United States in­ to war with Germany and it was the Kaiser who kept us out of war. The Democrats must think that the peo­ ple are blind when they make their foolish claim. Notwithstanding that Champ Clark, speaker of the house, said that the Maine election gave the Democratic paity hell, Bro. Trombley is so po­ litically blind that he looks upon the election as a great victory for Wilson. Gee. If Bro. Trombley wants to make a political fool of 'himself, lie is per­ fectly within his rights to do so. ----- o------ We are now told that the proposal to build a road from Netarts to Bay­ ocean is impracticable. That is what most of us have known for many years, but it seems as though some­ body wanted to knock or hold up the Bayocean road. It is not impractictl to build a road from Netarts to Bay­ ocean, but it would be folly to waste so much money when there is only three miles of the present road to build. It has been suggested that a system of fire patrol roads be started in Till­ amook county, to be used in case of foest fjrcs. This is a matter that should receive the serious attention of the county court and plans made to bring this about. We feel sure the people of the county will readily see the importance of fire patrol roads into the timber districts. This county has been fortunate the past few years in not having forest fires, but we be­ lieve in preparedness, and fire patrol roads would be along this line. Most of us can recall the serious forest fire which raged in this county some few years ago, and the calls for help that came to this city. It took considera­ ble time with teams, buggies and wa­ gons to get crowds of men to the fires, and often they had to walk several miles. With fire patrol roads and automobiles, forest fires could he reached much quicker with the possi­ bility of preventing the destruction of timber. The snap shot man is in hear­ ty accord with the suggestion of fire patrol roads in this county and plans should be agreed upon as soon as possible so as to have work started next year. We would suggest that the timber men and the business men of this city and farmers get together, for this object. The snap shot man can recall the willingness of a large number of men who dropped every­ thing when calls for help to fight fire reached this city a few years ago, and whenever a like call is made we know there would lie a similar re­ spouse, but it would he a great ad- vantage to them if there were fire patrol roads. --------- O-' We hear a great deal these days about . people being PH patriotic to their own city and section of country. We want to ask the Democratic brethern of Tillamook county if they show patriotism to the county in voting for a party that placed every industry in the county practically on the free list? We would like to discuss this matter with Bro. Trombley, for it is of great importance to the dairy, lumber and fishing industry who is elected presi­ dent. We can't see how any person employed or having interests in cither of these three industries can vote for the Democratic free trade party, and it looks exceedingly unpa­ triotic to place the industries of this county in competition with cheap lapancse, Chinese and Hindu labor. That is what the Democratic party did anil what Bro. Trombley the Democratic brethern want the people of this county to vote for in voting for Wilson. One of the largest indus­ tries in the county, the \\ heeler saw mill, was closed down as a result of free trade and hundreds of men were thrown out of employment with hun­ dreds of thousands of dollars invest­ ed in the saw mill tied up. It is safe to say that the saw mill at Wheeler will remain closed down if Wilson is elected, hut if the G. O. P. is returned to power it will start running again, giving employment to hundreds of men, and will circulate considerable money in the north part of the coun­ ty. This is an object lesson every per­ son in Tillamook county should care­ fully consider when casting their vote in November and ask themselves whether they arc patriotic to their own section of country. The snap shot man does not take any in , publishing __ , pleasure . _ the past record, of anyone, hut there are times when it i* the duty of editors to do so, for the general public have a right to know the record of anyone who is seeking public office, especial­ ly the office of district attorney. This is one of the unpleasant things in running a newspaper, and we contend that an editor who is in possession of information that the public should know fails in his duty in withholding it. That was the position the snap shot man took in exposing the past record of Wm. Marx last week, not that we have any personal feeling in the matter, and as we stated above, it is an unpleasant duty the snap shot man had to perforin. We will leave it to our readers to decide whether we did right or wrong. We wish to state that Attorney Cal­ lahan is not responsible for what ap­ peared in the last week’s Headlight in this connection. It is true that Mr. Callahan obtained some of the facts, and in doing so performed a public service to the people of the county, and for that reason he should be com­ mended and not criticised. It was common gossip in the city a week be­ fore the snap shot man felt it was his duty to make the matter public. Just for argument, supposed we hushed the matter up and Marx was elected prosecuting attorney, and the people found after that we were in possess­ ion of the facts that Marx had a prison record, what would they think of the snap shot man? Why, they would think he was a jelly fish editor, and they would think right. But we have done our duty to the people of this county, and likewise Mr. Calla­ han, and no one have just grounds to criticise either. It is a good thing for the community to turn the search light on strangers who coine here be­ fore falling all over themselves to place them in responsible public posi­ tions. That is simply what we have done in this instance. Notice °f Completed Contract Notice of Completed Contract TILLAMOOK J , Acceptance 1. Reference to the Lusitania. 2.

Mr. Wilson’s notes have been truculent enough to make for war over and over again, but Germany has averted conflict at each psychological moment out of gon- sideration of her own welfare, not as a consequence of any of the many things the President has written. And, she has done it in her own sweet way at her own chosen time. Personally I, do not believe that we have been in danger of war at any stage. Nobody could afford to drag us in and nobody has done so. That is all there is of it. If we had convinced all war­ ring powers at the outset the we real-, ly meant to maintain our rights as a neutral, we would have obtained them beyond the shadow of a doubt. But our chillyshallying with Mexico had indicated all too plainly that they could play fast and loose with us with impunity. And they have done it— both sides.”—Colonel George Harvey in the North American Review. Wilson’s Speech. DR. ELMER ALLEN, DR. GEORGE J. PETERSON. Dentists. National Building. Call For Bid*.
