THE PRODUCT OF OUR SCHOOLS There has been some discussion of the case of Floyd Ramp in the Portland papers. Probably these cases wmilrl host, bp allowed to pass without special notice, since men of his stamp thrive on publicity and criticism.. m b indignant miners. Then came the murder of W. D. Haywood has been released from jail by Federal Judge Landis who reduced his bail to a figure where his I. W. W. followers could raise it. It is reported in the press dispatches that his attorney, before this action was taken, threatened that "something would hap pen" if Haywood was not freed. This remark of itself should have been sufficient reason for keeping him be hind the bars, since if the I. W. W. can openly defy the authorities and get away with it the very foundations of our government are endangered. There will never be a better time to fight it out and test the power of this anarchistic organization. Probably Haywood would still be in jail if any other federal judge but the erratic, socialistic Landis had passed upon his case. Haywood's career has been one of disturbance and crime. Before he was nationally prominent as an agi tator he was known as a lawless, dsreputible character in the Rocky mountain region and was driven out of many M FULL SWING OUR BIG Thev crave notoriety and this notoriety is responsible tor their following. Without it they would probably soon ' tire of making nuisances of themselves and become to some extent useful citizens. One correspondent in a Portland paper calls attention to the fact that the Ramp family has lived long in this country and that the young man has had full advantage of the educational system of which we boast so freely. It made of him, the correspondent asserts, the intellectual freak he advertises himself to be, full of half-baked ideas . that he has not the intellect to assimulate. It may be true as stated that Rump hs gone to scnooi but he is not educated. Perhaps he fell under the tutelage of some of those freaks with which it is too much the fashion to load up the faculties of our higher educational institutions. They teach the boys and girls everything but the fundamental idea of their education which is to make real men and women. The religious and rnoral side of life is entirely lost sight of in most of our larger usiversities and colleges and not infrequently instructors sneer at the old fashioned idea of right living in the sight of God and man. To our mind the smaller denominational colleges of the country are doing most of the really sound educational work of the present time. We never did have much use for the mass of prohibitory and corrective laws that en cumber our statute books, with the idea of forcing men and women to live right through fear of legal punishment but we do have an abiding faith in human nature when it is trained in the proper course at the proper time of life. Young men and young women are being turned out of the schools knowing too much about the things they ought to shun and too little about their duty to society and to their Creator. They have not been surrounded bv the proper influences at a time their habits of thought J , i. i i 4-i:j ana living were uemg cnrysiaueu. Ramp may be an exaggerated product of our educa tinnnl svstem because of some peculiar twist of his intel lect or possibly on account of an abnormal craving for notoriety. RUSSIA'S AMAZING COURSE Former Governor Steuenburg, of Idaho, of which he was acquitted in spite of convincing evidence, and later his prominence as head of the I. W. W. Such a man would naturally be chosen to do the dis loyal acts that an .ordinary traitor would shrink from. With him it would be a purely monetary consideration with no regard for the principles involved, or thought for life and property distroyed. Haywood'may now be counted upon to get busy again with his plotting against the government, outraging 1 every sense of decency and good citizenship. Offhand, it would appear that such would be the case. But there are good sized, well equipped armies in Russia, tuch as the Don Cossacks which will not recognize Trot sky's proclamation and which are in favor of continuing the war. - z z - z Germany might start a new invasion of Russia. Not only would this meet with resistance from the Cossacks and other anti-Bolsheviki, however, but it probably would stir up the Bolsheviki themselves to renewed resistance. . Sometimes chickens come home to roost quite unex pectedly. That man Adams who had the chairmanship of the republican national committee cinched probably wishes now that he had not bid so strong for . German American support. , Mayor Wni. Hale Thompson seems to have come . back to life at the meeting of the republican national commit tee. We thought he had drifted'into everlasting oblivion with the late Bob La Follette and others of his stripe. Yesterday the news of Russia's complete withdrawal from the war was confirmed. It in some respects creates an amazing and complex situation without parallel in history. As iw United Press war expert puts it: Without observing any of the usual formalities, one of the biggest nations on ' earth represented by L,eon Trotsky's Bolshevik government has just backed off the field and loft the Teutonic armies nothing to shoot at. There has been no formal peace agreement and Trot sky says there won't be any. The central powers are left in the ridiculous position of being at war with Russia with nobody to fight. Because of its utter lack of precedent, the situation cannot be intelligently discussed until future develop ments show what it all means. On the surface, however, it would appear that Trotsky has out-maneuvered the best strategists the central powers boast. The kaiser publicly at least is disposed to regard Russia's withdrawal as a great German victory. He so stated in a message to Field Marshal Hindenburg. But the German press, as typified by the Frankfurter Zeitung, holds the opinion "that the central powers must force Trotsky to a definite peace treaty." The phase most directly affecting" the United States and her associates in the war is, of course, embodied in the question "Will Russia's withdrawal release further Austro-German forces for the western front?" And there is yet time to have a little real winter here in Oregon. tssssefessssa LADD & BUSH, Bankers On February 7th we received balance of Liberty Loan Bonds Now prepared to make deliveries to those buying them. Since it is and always has been the proper thing for diplomats to write memoirs wfe ought to be thankful that President Wilson generally chose literary men to represent us abroad. Office holding is more attractive than ever since it has become known that an official salary is exempt from war taxation. Those g. o. p. national committeemen at St. Louis seem to be having a hard tome keeping their loyalty on straight. Anyway, brave little Rumania appeal's to be standing pat. --- Opened Wednesday Feb. 13th Oothin -fcsaM irum ocs an .
