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

Should change his heaven into hell
And though he'd watch on the wave

A good many budding, blooming
politicians seem to have taken yie tip
from the government and are seeking
to get their political announcements
and platforms published as "a patri
otic duty" on the part of the coun
try newspapers.

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.
