Olive* Htimm THE RED CROSS CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL Our boys overseas closed their fighting operations in a blaze of glory. It remains for the people iii this country to close their humani tarian war work in like fashion. The opportunity is afforded by the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call which is set for the week of December 1C to 23 inclusive. During that period it Is hoped to enroll practically every man and woman in the United States as members of the Red Cross. Our fighting men have given an impres sive demonstration of the might of this nation; the rest of us should give an equally impressive proof of ] its humanity. While the actual fighting is over there still remains a tremendous work for tho Red Cross to do. lt must look after the comfort and wel fare of our soldiers and sailors until they have been mustered out of the service and returned to their homes. It must bind up the wounds and min ister to the needs of the suffering nations which havo been ravaged by war and are now facing cold and hun ger. It must care for hundreds of thousands of orphr.n children and homeless refugees, until some pro vision for their support can be worked out by their own govern ments. It must make the name, United States, a synonym for mercy and generosity to the people of Europe. It Is a privilege as well as * duty to Join In this great and noble work, and we can prove that we so regard it by enrolling as members of the Red Cross for another year. The annual fee of one. dollar will help to meet the heavy expenses, but a large membership means more than money because It will be the measure of the desire and determination of America * to play the part of the good Samari tan to the bleeding nations of the •world. As the uniform is the proof of love of country and of loyal service In Its defense, so the Red Cross button is the badge of love of humanity and ot sood will toward all mankind. "Home of tho Palouse Dollar" Member of Federal Reserve . As our eons cheerfully registered for military .service, so we should cheerfully enroll our names In the great humanitarian army which fol lowed the boys overseas, ministered to them while hostilities were in progress, will continue to surround them with lovi.ig care until they come home, and will supplement their glorious achievements by help ing to rehabilitate the devastated nations rescued from the savagry of the Huns and their allies. By answering at the roll call of the Red Cross next week you can pre pare yourself to enter more fully in to the Christmas spirit of "Good Will Toward Men." PURE CAMOUFLAGE The quarantine against influenza maintained in Spokane is pure camouflage, designed to alleviate Che fears of prospective visitors to that city, but not to seriously handicap the stores or places of amusement in their pursuit of dollars. It will avail little to maintain a strict quarantine in the counties tributary to Spokane unless an equally rigid quarantine is enforced in that city. If people from the surrounding country are al lowed to crowd into the Spokane stores and to occupy seats in every other row of the theatres, it is likely to take months to stamp out the dis ease. Spokane is the center from which the germs are being dissemi nated all over the Inland Empire. People from counties where a real quarantine is being enforced go to Spokane and take home with them the germs of the dread disease. The disastrous flaring up of the epidemic after it had been nearly stamped out can bo traced directly to the big Peace Celebration which brought throngs of people to Spo kane. The men who planned and permitted the holding of that cele bration are directly responsible for scores of deaths and thousands of cases of sickness. If they value profits so much higher than life, as to refuse to take proper measures to safeguard public health, the state authorities should step in and compel them to maintain a proper quarantine. The counties In which tho schools and churches are closed and all pub lic gatherings are prohibited should join in demanding that their efforts to stamp out tho disease be seconded by the enforcement of equally rigid regulations in the city of Spokane The argument of the Spokane health officer, that it is of no avail to maintain a strict quarantine there as long as people who have been ex posed to the influenza are constant ly coming to the city from surround ing points, is double edged and works both ways. The state health author ities should establish and maintain a rigid ban on crowds in every city, town and county of eastern Washing ton, Including Spokane, and then It may be possible to eradicate the epi- I demic promptly and completely. The people of the surrounding counties have a right to demand that Spokane be forced to maintain a real quarantine, not a camouflage. RIGHT HAS TRIUMPHED Right has triumphed. Autocracy has been slain. Mankind enters . a new era, an era in which justice, not force, will reign. We are witnessing the rebirth of freedom for all races. Tho overthrow of Imperial tyrants must not, however, be followed by efforts to enthrone another type of tyrants heretofore at the other end of the social scale. The world must be on guard against the spirit of Bolshevism. Even in the United States there havo been unpleasant Symptom*. Certain labor leaders have attempted to gain arbitrary powers and to exercise them with out due regard for the general weal. The balance must be held even. Democracy is about to be put on trial. Shall we measure up to our glorious opportunities and our grave responsibilities? On the United States of America rests a special responsibility. To us the whole new-world-ln-the-making looks for leadership, for example, for assistance, for fatherliness, even. We have become the Big Brother of democracy. We are rich and pow erful beyond any other nation on earth. We alone of great nations have the foodstuffs, the implements, the machinery, the merchandise, the money necessary for the rehabilita tion of the war-stricken lands and races. Shall we show unselfishness, mag nanimity, brotherllness as well as statesmanship? Shall our hearts and heads earn lastingly the esteem, the affection In which we are now held? Th*? task will not he easy. It will call for all our prudence, all our wisdom, all our self-restraint, not less than our generosity. We must not disappoint the order ly, law-abiding people and nations who compose the backbone of man kind and of civilization. —Forbes Magazine. When the boys come home, a Red Cross button will be to them an evi dence of appreciation of the sacri fices which they have made for us. They will have good reason to look askance at any man or woman who does not wear this badge of member ship in the Red Cross r.rmy. It is reported that ex-Kaiser Will iam tried to end his own life. He need not take the trouble to do it himself, there are plenty of people who would be" glad to do it for aim. WM. GOODYEAR.
