Sonvolnrv Raker's address of Jan uary 28 received wider newspaper miHiiottv than snv other Rlnele de- Uverance of recent months, says the ' Boston Herald. The New York Timus carried it In full, a total of 37,500 words. Every other newspaper in the country treatea nun as bbuoi n foMlltlpn would nermit. Ev - erybody who wanted to read Baker had a chance to do so. fni- mii-noses of Dermanent rec hnvcvnr the neniite committee is printing thousands of documents containing levery word Mr. tsaKer uttered. The newspaper publicity and this committee report would seemingly meet all reasonable nee-.is Rut alone- comes Georee Creel's nifloiai Rniintln. which had devoted a four-line paragraph""1 to Senator Chamberlain's speech, ana gives over twenty-three pages to Mr. Bakev's full statement. The Official Bulletin has a daily circulation of 90,000 , copies. Here Is a combination thu ,iina tntrt whlto nnnfir Next we have the Congressional Record, in which oilie James, ot Ken . tucky, one of the president's handy men in the senate, has succeeded in getting the Baker statement printed in full once more, consuming twenty pages ot a journal wnicn is printed in quantities of more than 40,0uu - - " The natural assumption is that as all three of these documents, com ing from the presses or tne govern ment printing office, would use the sameiype. Such an assumption dis regards the guiding principle of gov ernment operation to make . as much work as possible.

THE INCOME TAX PAxERS. Growling about taxes has been considered a basic American privi lege. Some people of wealth have always enjoyed bewailing their suf ferings from the tax gatherer. Hav ing contributed heavily to public expense, it was perhaps natural that they took no pains to conceal that , fact. Perhaps they enjoyed giving the idea that they like other people. suffer from exactions and have to economize. This year these people look on with a sardonic grin at the new In come tax payers, gathered In by a lowered exemption, to see how they take It. Previously some folks had eloquently advocated an income tax as the only remedy for the inequali ties of wealth. When the exemption was lowered to take them in, they began to have their conscientious doubts. Formerly the married man with $5000 income had to pay an income tax of $20. By burning a bit less gasoline, or omitting a few nights out, it seemed to his neighbors as if he might possibly get by. This year he is tagged for $70. It is still a trifle compared with the burden placed on the family that sends a boy to the trenches. If the income tax payer sends a boy himself, he is probably glad to help care for him in this way. So let us sharpen, up our pencil stubs with a cheerful smile, and an swer up truthfully to Uncle Sam. If it is up to us to take on this little burden, let us be glad we have, attained that degree of success In i life. The people who don't hir-- ' pay would be glad enough If then did. There Is a satisfaction in !?;::.: able to make this little contribution. Meat is almost beyond the poor man's purse now, but he is gracious ly permitted to go into the butcher shops and smell. It is denied that the red tapers weren't prepared1 for winter at the army camps, as they had plenty of coffins ready. , , It is denied that everything is higher than formerly, Anyway the quality is 'very often lower. Also the tramps' have patriotically fallen Into line by offering to have a number of work loss months. It Is positively announced that the meatless days will not interfere with boarding house hash. The Germans fight nobly to keep from getting self government. Cold weather at the army camps but no cold feet! OF The Douglas County.

The people who are kicking about the slow progress of our 10,000 air plane fleet, are sometimes the same ones who a few years ago were hor rified when it was proposed to have congress buy 100 planes. NEAR HOME PLACE Hyman Huntley, of Dillard, was In Roseburg yesterday and today, and in conversation with a News repre sentative stated that his brother. Michael Huntley, who was badly in jured two weeks ago while working for the Crane lumber concern on the Coquille river, died from effects of the injuries after the doctors had de- sided that amputation of his broken leg was necessary to save the patient. The unfortunate man was injured in ternally, and a snag from the falling tree, blown down by the wind, pene trated his body. The remains were brought back lo this alunty and buried near the home place. . De ceased was a native of Douglas coun ty, and unmarried. Michael Hunt- ly is survived by four brothers, Hy of Dillard; Fred, of Roseburg; He. -ivy, of Myrtle Point, and James, i.r Kuckles; also by-two sisters, Mrs. Marihla Smith, of Dillard and Mrs. Mary Bollenbaugh, of Canyonville. The young man had only been at work in the lumber camp for a few weeks when the accident occurred, and his tragic death has cast a gloom over his home community, where he has lived so many years. THEDA BARA IX CLEOPATRA AT T11E ANTLERS. FEBRUARY 23. &&J&JjTBlM CLEOPATRA ITOJSWM When Hhe public sees William Fox's film production, "Cleopatra," at the 'Antlers theatre, February 22 and 33, with dally matinees, they will be astounded by the magnificent settings and 1 the startling cos tumes. Rome in all its ancient glory, pomp and ceremony is shown In detail, especially magnificent be ing the great scene of the triumphal entry of Caesar to the Forum, and later the oration over his body by Mark Anthony. These are but two of the many hundred scenes em bodied in this stupendous film spec tacle. Thousands of persons appear in the greatest scenes of Roman his tory. Another scene shows one of the greatest battles of ancient times ever staged, several thousand men being employed, in a great gathering of soldiers for the army of Cleopatra who are encamlped on the desert Bands. This tented city and the mar velous replica of the .Sphinx and pyramids, that loom lftgh above the massed soldiers, is tremendously Impressive. FROM GIF! OF SOCKS Mrs. W. J. Jackson, of Looking Glass, recently knitted a pair of wool en socks and shipped them to Camp Lewis, to "some soldier who was in need of them." In the toe of the sock Mrs. Jackson placed her name on a slip of paper and yesterday the following letter of appreciation for the gift was received by the esteem ed lady from Private S. C. Irvin: "Dear Unknown Friend: Will drop you a line with my deepest apprecia tion of the socks. I am leaving right away . for the east and they will come in handy there. I suppose, or it is taken ,for granted by the boys that the east means France, so they will come in handy over there too. I re ceived another pair at the same time, but the sender neglected to add her address, therefore, I cannot, or do not know whom to thank. "They gave ' us all Red Cross sweaters tonight, too, but did not get one, for I was given one by my mother when I first came here. I want to tell you not to believe the things you hear concerning the Red Cross sweaters and socks. You know the German spies have started all sorts of stories about them. The ono about the woman finding a sweater she had knitted for sale In a dry goods store is an example of them. It just goes to show that the Germans would like to cause the Red Cross to let up on their good work. I can assure you that the boys ap preciate anything the Red Cross sends them. I will close, thanking you again for the socks. , "Your soldier friend, "PRIVATE S. C. IRVIN." flictlng stories regarding the accl dent.
