TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. OCTOBER 19. 1916. What the Editors Say. ------ o—■ . t “The public recalls the fiasco at Vera Cruz and the unpardonable act in lifting the embargo on arms that our soldiers should meet death from guns furnished to assassins by per mission of our own government ” says Congressman Crago. “In this so- called ‘peace’ more lives have been lost and more money spent than was sacrificed in the war with Spain. If we are at ‘peace’ should more than a hundred thousand of our boys be pay ing the price of war, taken from home and families, to play the game of peace? If we have been kept from war by any magic of the president, then how does it happen that Spaing Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Hol land and Denmark, countries much | nearer the Europena conflict than we ; are, have been able to maintain peace? Sheridan Sun. It would seem that there must be some foundation for the _ ___ _ presistent peace talk that is going on? Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. That Germany is ready for peace—on her own terms, of course_ is very evident, but it remains to be seen whether th Allis are ready to stop or whether they will persist in their declared intention to finish once for all the military question i„ in Eu- rope by disarming Germany. Nearly all neutral nations have had enough of the war, but as they are not much interested in the vital sense, it is doubtful whether the fighting nations will pay much attention to their wishes. Europe is in a death grip, and when men reach the stage that the men of Europe are in today, there is little hope of swerving them from their course until some definite and decided advantage is won by one or the other party to the war.—Forest Grove, News-Times. among the school children and having the ministers preach about saving money. I The time is a good time. This is a year of peculiar prosperity. Ameri cans have made money hand over fist tor two years. It should be available for savings. This is the time of all times to prepare for the possible lean years which may come after the flood of buying by Europe has ebbed. After the war will come cruel competition .. comn*ercial and indus- trial countires. — Americans, Americans, if they now learn to save, will 1 enjoy ‘ an ad- vantage in the struggle over Euro- peans.—Spokesman Review. Free Publicity. ----- o- One of the problems with - which the newspaper is constantly comront- ifront- eu is what to do with the great vol ume of press agent matter which come to it. The uninformed outsider will not believe, unless he saw it with his own eyes, how much stuff is sent to the papers of the country for free publication. Every variety of organi- zation, from business houses to mo- tion picture syndicates, is forever ap pealing to the newspapers to print something about its particular pet and personal objects, and asks for the ire publicity as if it had a perfect right to do it. ^n,jbe best of times the newspapers would be compelled to turn down the requests of those who seek good ad vertising space for nothing, but now when print paper is at premium and all papers are fighting for their ex istence, it is more imperative than ever to withhold space for ligitimate news. It should be plain to everyone, and most of all to the clever press agents trying to obtain something for noth- in<r, that the present crisis in the pa per trade, if nothing else, would de bar them from columns of the papers. But the free publicity literature comes to the editor’s desk in greater density than ever—and the waste basket in consequence is just a trifle fuller each day. In these ' perlious times of scarcity of print paper, what a terrible waste it is.—St. Paul Dis patch. have met the treasury deficits and | have avoided war taxes. The foreign- ’ er selling in our markets got the en tire benefit of the 891,656,161, Because during the first ten months of the Wilson-Underwood law there were more unemployed being fed by charity than during any ten months in our history, excepting under the Wilson-Gorman act. Because of the inconsistency on the immigration bill. In his “History of the American People,” vol 5, p 213, he wrote: “The Chinese were more to be desired as workmen, if not as citi zens, than most of the coarse crew that came crowding in every year at the Eastern ports." Because he has not reduced, as he promised, the high cost of living, but has actually made it higher. • Because he was pledged to a single term by the Baltimore convention, but before the type was cold he was building up his fences for another. Because, although posing as an ad vocate of civil service, every act of his as president in connection with civil service has been adverse to the principles, obstructive and destructive of its bonafide practice. way into the oys o'.

Gompers and Wilson. o------ Samuel Gompers is now for Wilson. He approves he president's course in the brotherhood's strike and de nounces any attempt at legislation to compel compulsory arbitration, He opposes Mr. Hughes chiefly on the ground that, as a member of the su- preme court, he participated in the decisions in the Danbury hatters’ and Arizona anti-alien-law cases, which he feels to have been unfavorable to labor. Samuel’s position is interesting, but for whom is it making most votes? Organized labor has suddenly, come to figure as a powerful threat. Would Samuel Gompers have us all under stand that a vote for Wilson is a vote to give organized labor anything it wants, and to discipline the su preme court for decisions that offend it? “One million acres in the United States sown to flax and 20 »lore fac tories like ours couldn’t commence to meet the demand there is for the kind of flax products that we turn out,” Mr. Asquith Indorses International said J.
