oregon writing to the truth teller says it is settled that another flu epidemic will soon be in our midst tor for the shining lights ol of the mei medical lical trust have said so the therefore it must be ba true that five million I 1 dollar appropriation that the A al A is trying to push through congress is the big incentive tor for another epidemic indeed it Is too big to be overlooked already the various state medical ma machines t chines are agitating it and trying hard to work up the new scare last winter our state board of health asked the legislature tor for supreme power to do as it iti I 1 pleased in future epidemics of 0 cor communicable muni cable diseases and it if its requests had been granted the people would be virtually slaves and at the thea mercy of 0 the medical shysters shy but the board asked tor for and gave it authority to use quarantine and other i reasonable measures only and rei quiren the board to file its rules with the secretary of 0 state there will be no more closing up schools churches theatres theartres the atres stores or wearing of 0 masks in oregon tor for the legislature expressly refused to grant this authority to the board what they will try to do remains to be seen for they have filed no rules as yet and should they attempt any such dirty w work ork as they did last year we are prepared to stop stol them every senator and member of 0 congress should be written to and asked to stop this i big graft tor for as the trust has now repudiated the germ theory it will only be tat fat pickings for the M D s to grab that five million

arrives GOING ABROAD toils THIS HAS been a great year my countrymen tor for deserving patriots desiring to go to europe says a washington correspondent to the wyoming state tribune all one I 1 had bad to do was waa to bove loyalty to wil fontan democracy and express a desire and instanter he was commissioned an expert on something or and ordered to paris hundreds something over 2000 to date as a matter ot of tact fact took advantage 0 f this opportunity to tour europe at the expense of 0 the taxpayers ot of this nation ot of course not all ot of this number ought to be put in the above class but it is safe to say that hundreds ot of those who have bavo toured europe at government expense performed no service ot of value to any one but themselves and might just juse as well have stayed at home this governmental tourist exodus the size or of which made the cook agency crowd look like a lonesome mourner in ili a deserted graveyard was only made possible because the president was given an appropriation of one hundred and fifty million dollars to be spent as he saw fit and not to be accounted for to any one mr wilson not oni spent this staggering sum but has since come to congress asking for an additional to pay debts incurred by himself and the aforesaid aggregation of experts near experts and just curlus curious tourists who flocked to paris and other european resorts on funds placed at the presidents disposal having distributed this munificent bounty aggregating more than two hundred million dollars the dent returned from abroad bringing a car load of rich gifts bestowed upon him by European royalty forty larse large lar se packing cases to be exact on which no duty was paid gifts accepted in spite of the specific prohibition of the constitution and statute and var bously estimated esi mated at from one halt half to a million dollars and urges frugality and rigid economy on his subjects as panacea tor for the H C L I 1 HOW L I SHARES SHAKES IN CAPITAL THOSE WHO are inclined to sympathize with the steel strikers should reflect that never has a great strike been so reasonless the men are striking for the closed shop at a time when the well being of t the he entire country demands the maximum ot of production to select such a cause tor for striking is an injustice to choose such time is criminal careful reading of 0 the dally daily dispatches cannot have failed ailed to unmask the pretensions of 0 the labor leaders the english speaking workmen for the most part are opposed to athe the strike the foreign born organized by the agitators are forcing what might be termed a technical question tor for the purpose ultimately of socializing the steel industry and establishing a el closed OS ed shop dictatorship T there here may have been some dissatisfaction t is but the existence of 0 slight or even grave causes of dissatisfaction did not justify such a strike no strike is justified except as a last resort in a most serious crisis how I 1 lar jar then from justification is a strike which turns hundreds of thousands of men out of oc mills and factories at a time m when hen the whole world is crying out tor for the necessities ot of life and getting only a part of what is deeded A fine phrase industrial democracy has been invented by labor and even exploited by president wilson to dazzle our vision none of us I 1 is certain just what it connotes at all events it is being used as a shibboleth by the most radical to stir unrest and hatred in the hearts of the workers they are misled into the belief that they ae to obtain a dominant control over industry and to run the mills and factories to suit themselves and tor for their sole benefit it has been tried in russia and has led to mi miseries serie which we can hardly sense in this country so fore foreign agn are they to our standards of life in a very true sense the workmen already control and even own industry take ir for example the mill a and d factory towns involved in the steel strike some of 0 these towns are inhabited almost solely by steel workers and the business folk dependent on these workers the state and the community take from the mills and f factories a vast sums in the way of I 1 taxes tor for schools high highways parks hospitals asylums and public works of many kinds out of the taxes the aged sick blind insane and crippled are cared for in ili that sense the men own the industries and take the profits tor for the benefit of 0 themselves and families the agitator never thinks of 0 that but no doubt the workmen who have lived in the mill towns for many years and have enjoyed the benefits from the taxation of the mighty plants have felt that they were sharers in the control of industry when agitators clamor for revolutions and strikes it is well to remember an old saying that men of intemperate minds cannot be tree free their pas passions sious forge their fetters for them the citizen I 1 V W PROGRAM IN THE WEST INSIDE information goes to show that fifteen hundred delegates or 1 I W W organizers are arc to be concentrated cent Cont rated in california and next spring sent north the following is a copy of an excerpt from a letter written by J A Bil billings linis one of the I 1 W W leaders to otto elsner an IW W prisoner confined in leavenworth who was sent up from rom sacramento last year this will give an insight in as to what the I 1 W W a r contemplate atom plate doing 1 I am of the opinion that the only way to win california is to bunch our hits that is to place 1300 or 1500 delegates into that state let them have a chance to organize themselves into a system and work together understandingly thus Thu covering the whole state bously and thoroughly organized at the start so they can work it under a thorough and sweeping system after harvest is over in the long straw belt all the A vl 0 and most the delegates ot of other unions could be moved to capitonia Cal Cali itonia fonia work there until spring then move the whole bunch to the lumber woods of 0 the northwest until june then back into the long straw belt and thus bunch our working force instead ot of working with a scattered force that forte force so centralized would work in unison and with more harmoney lioney because their number would woul d be be encouraging them to go ahead freely do up the work as quickly as possible and then got get out of that state before they the dicks can have time to realize what is being done in other words cords mass action pure and simple the manufacturer FOR SALE A tour four room house i pantry an and d
