MONDAY, JANUARY 81, 1018. FROM DEMOCRATIC STANDPOINT Senator Chamberlain, at a lunch eon given In his honor Saturday at New York, said that the military es tablishment of America had! vrallen down" because of INEFFICIENCY IN THE GOVERNMENT. "I SPEAK NOT AS A DEMO CRAT." the senator cried, "BUT AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.' Some of the senator's close friends ' in Oregon are In a quandry as to -what his exact utterances would have been had he spoken from a democratic standpoint. The brilliant ( ? ) editor or the Bedford Mail Tri bune and a few obscure tall pieces" who are prone to copy the Idlocrasy utterances from the foregoing paper concerning the policy of the head of the government and others connected closely therewith, could probably "get aroundl" the senator s remarks in their usual "patriotic" way of handl ing "the goods". If there ever were any attempts to stifle the press of the United States the democratic newspapers are cer tainly doing, their utmost at this war-time period to muzzle ' every newspaper in the 'land that dares to ' criticize the president or his-democratic lieutenants. The very minute that any publication, not in harmony -with the political head of the nation, offers any criticism these pettyfog gers run and duck their heads under the 'camouflage of "patriotism" and like a German sniper appear with great bravery "in the open" only when they know they are not within hearing distance of the enemy. Probably the nation is doing its best to wage war on the enemy, but Mr. Chamberlain, the democratic senator doesn't think so, neither do hundreds and thousands of other loyal and patriotic American citi zens, and the longer we are in this great war the more conspicuous this fact stands out. There seems to be a decided laxity for doing things a system of red-tape preparedness that is getting U3 nowhere and, while we have been at war for almost a year it is really astonishing that the democratic press, not playing poll tics, of course, has already, or rather is trying to put the nation over the top and far Into the enemy's first line trenches through a system of misrepresentation. War or no war, what the people demand is facts, and the individual who presents, them is a far better citizen and patriot than the dema gogue who wastes his time and ener gy dodging the real Issue. Commenting further regarding our activity in the world wide war Sena tor Chamberlain, Oregon's democratic representative in congress, said: "America for ten months has been groping in the dark. We have had able heads, but no responsible head, and it is our purpose to supply a responsible head." There you have it right from the front ranks from a democratic standpoint. Still there are a num ber of mollycoddle democratic papers that have the audacity to slap their own party In the face and clothe their arguments in the robe of "patriot ism" when utterances are arrayed against the laxity and force employed in carrying out the nation's war pro gram. They simply want to throttle you body and soul regardless nfl CUTTING THE RED TAPE. - Secretary Redfleld recently- ad dressed this exhortation to all the bureau heads In his department: - "Forget how things were done he fore the war. Eliminate redi tape. We must learn with the Germans that 'the war won't-wait.' , Delay is the kaiser s ally.' The president is said to have been so well impressed. with this sensible advice that he has ordered it made the rule of action in every branch of the government s war business. . ' . Judging from recent revelations, it's high time that somebody jerked out an Alexandrian swordJ and cut the Gordian knots of red tape in va rious government departments. The bureaucratic system that nas Stown up in Washington in the course of a century may be tolerable in normal times, hut it becomes an intolerable handicap when the government is trying to get all the nation's energy into play for the winning of a great war. .There should - be less formality, less duplication of effort, less de llberateness andi. delay In every ad ministrative department. When army supplies are imperatively needed, they should be bought promptly, in the nearest market, regardless of es tablished procedure. When materials are needed for ships or munition fac tories they should be rushed, instead of awaiting the routine leisure of some clerk or chief. Government business should be run, now If ever, on the same principles of push, enter prise and effectiveness that charac ize private business. The balmy spring weather finally gave way to Old Man Winter. : r The female of the spy species is also deadlier than the male. Though difficult, winning the war is eminently worth while. The- long and short war theorists may have to fight it out. LET THE KAISER LIVE. As long as flowers their perfume give, So long I'd let the kaiser live Live and live for a million years, With nothing to drink but Belgian tears, With nothing to quench hla awful thirst But the salted brine of a Scotchman's curse. ... I would let him live on a dinner each day . Served from silver on a golden tray Served with things both dainty and sweet Served with everything but things to eat. And make him a bed of silken sheen, With costly linens to lie between, With-covers of down and fillets of lace, And downy pillows piled in place; Yet when to its comfort he would yield, It would stink with the rot of the bat tie field And blood and bones and; brains of men Should cover him, smother him and then His pillows should cling with the rotten cloy Cloy from the grave of a soldier boy. And while God's stars their vigils keep, And while the wave the white sands sweep, Ho should never, never, never sleep. And through all the days, through all the years, There should be an anthem in his ears Ringing and singing and never done From the euigo of light to the set of sun, Moaning and moaning and moaning wild A ravaged French girl's bastard child! And I would build him a castleby the sea. As lovely a castle as ever could be Then I'd show him a ship from over the sea As fine a ship as ever could be I lmTnS5i a asft&a tm WW 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 nullum rnn VJW.,.:S.-t 1 I til I I I At the Antlers Tonight, and Tuesday.

A Massachusetts woman calls khaki a "yellow peril" to our young girls. A German mind couldn't have conceived a worse Insult to the American soldier. A couple of gossipless d'ays a week might help, also. A Woman's Shop for Woman's s Wear We Cater to your wants and specialize to meet demands of our army of customers Bellows Salem Oregon Statesman: The state of Oregon enjoys an enviable standing among the states of the union on account of its splendid rec ord in every movement of patriotic duty that has been inaugurated for the support of our government in the successful "prosecution of its most wortny war aims, for the en couragement, protection andi comfort of those who have placed their lives upon the altar of sacrifice for their country's defense, for the conserva tion of resources and for such un selfish denials as the ruling forces of the nation have deemed necessary to the ends and purpos.es of the na tion's participation in the interna tional conflict. Every citizen of this state must feel proud of what Ore gon has done in answer to' every call to the Red Cross, to the voluntary enlistment of its fighting forces, to the liberty bond subscriptions, to the i . M. C. A., and to every form of ap peal that calls for generous response and sacrifice, and in that pride let us not forget to place a large share of the credit where it belongs for the condition of the public mind and con science which made such achieve ments possible. It is but justice to say that the fine precept and exam ple of our patriotic governor, James Withycombe, exhibited and expressed earnestly and vigorously on all oc casions, have been most powerful agencies in spurring and encouraging our people to do the very best that is in them, and it is also safe to any that no person in the state is prouder of the record made' than he is.

THE CO-RESPONDENT AT E Members of Unit No 2 of the Red Cross are preparing one of the most clever, and . altogether successful vaudeville entertainments - that the theatre goers of Roseburg-will ever again have the pleasure of viewing, this event to occur next Saturday ev ening at the Liberty theatre on Jack son street. Included in the person nel of the cast are the city's most ex cellent amateur performers whose fame in the past is known through out this section. Scheduled for the pleasure of the patrons are six vaude ville numbers and one clever play- No more absorbing picture . of life as lived in New York and New Eng land has ever been projected on any screen than that which comes to the Majestic theatre starting on tomor row when will occur the premiere of the INew York success, "The Co Respondent," the Ralph W. Ince pro duction which Jewel Productions, Inc., has the honor of presenting with magnetic Elaine Hammerstein In the title role. It is a story where in a young and very beautiful girl is lured' to" a. small town hotel and under the guise of a mock ceremony is almost linked) to a perfidous New York multi-millionaire whose wife afterwards sues hi mf or divorce on the evidence obtained when the cou ple is trapped in the small town ho tel from which the girl escapes. A reporter on a : metropolitan daily wnere sue nas won ulstlnctlon, the girl a year later faces a hard choice when the managing editor, the man she has grown to love, sends her out to nna out the name of the co respondent in the famous Van Kreel divorce case and she learns that the name is none other than her own. How she tells the man to save his paper from a libel suit and his own career from an abrupt end and how she In the end triumphs forms one of the most absorbingly interesting stories ever screened.
