No Peace Talk With Criminals and
Blood Stained Liars.
Four years ago, a little more to be j
accurate the world was at peace, de- j
sired t-o remain at peace and worked
feverishly day and night ito preserve
peace. There was no neea oi war, i
no reason for war, no excuse for war. ;
Germany did not will peace, would j
(have no peace, 'would discuss no peace, j
and. she and her lying, murdering
ally demanded war and forced war. j
Now th'j t they .have failed to bring J
the whole world to their feet, failed i
to crush all oproosition and wreck and i
ruin all of France, England and de
mand large indemnity from America,
now that the tide has turned aeainst
them the cowardly .beasts, -tthe liars,
. i . . ,
the raping murderers are whining for j
peace. Beastly, cowardly, deceptive j
Berlin is using Vienna as a cat's paw ;
'and would now bring: about peace.
Give them, no ipeace, gi;ve them no
consideration. Make no reply to it'heir
pieace cry, ignore it, igive tlbem instead j
lead and shot nd idynaimite from land j
and sea and air. Rain shells until
they are whipped, their land invaded,
heir cities destroyed, their munition
plants destroyed, their sh-itps seized,
their jpeople impoverished and their
leaders dead and buried.
God forbid H'.mt any one of tthe al
lies should dignify the peace feeler
with ia notice, not so muiA as a recep
tion of-it officially. Any overtures
that the vile Huns make d'nould be
tthrown iback into their lying faces
mi the bittle intensified a thousand
' 'times agarast them.

Washington, Sept. 12. What are

The bill which will doubtless pass
this week applies only to the Disjtricv

Oregon law has been held constitu

a remarkable way. While constitu

the world's social experience regard-
ing the necessity for providirfg prot)er

brief, in fact, was chiefly the work'pf

of Mr. Brandeis. It was a small

relation of woman's health and com

protection, should conserve the health!

Member 31, one thing is evident, Ihe
amount of $20 per capita is qb ex
cessive or an impossibility. It will
only show that the counties which did
not buy their quotas failed to avail
themselves of a most beneficial prop
osition at a most opgorjtane time. I
regret to say that it a few counties
that are holding the State back.'1 .
"I aim ndt discourage!,'' said Col
onel Fries, but I am convinced that a
ngw hustle js required if the coun-
ties ralObhie apportionments hat have
been afloted themn, and the State
raises &t full quota of $48,600,000.
To do this tlte counties must wake up
and complete their tasks before De
cember 31st. I feel ithat it is not yet
$06 late to do this There is every
indication that there- is more money
in the country today-tfcan at any time
since the war began, and $20 per ca(p
ilia invested in War Savings Stamps
is not too much to expect of every
county in the State."
