While the government Is probing Into various alleged grafts In con nection with the carrying on of the present world conflict why would It not be a good Idea for every state in . the union Oregon not excepted to have a little Investigation "all their own" on some of tho big war problems each state is compelled to finance. Many people are beginning to wonder and pause, and occasion ally are doing some dbwn-rlght hard thinking, trying to figure out why Borne fellows are making big money out of a common cause, while others perform equally as arduooiB duties merely through a spirit of patriotism asking nothing and getting paid by the same method, while It perfectly right and proper that any person who devotes his entire time to the government war program should be properly reimbursed It does not look like safe and sane business judgment, neither Is It honest patrl otism to put a few people In tho state at the plo counter and keep them there while the great majority are being fed from the swill barrel. . We are all working in and for a great cause but to witness a few "patriots gathering In all the sheckles for a no greater work than is being per formed daily bmany a loyal and pat riotic common citizen, sort of gets a ' fellow's goat and causes us to won der how much longer we can toler ate these conditions. There must be a leveling. The public is fast begin ning to realize that far too many in dividuals are "milking" the govern ment through alleged -itatrlotic meth ods that redound to their own per sonal benefit. Why any person should be placed In a position to ex tract fabulous Bums from any war , cause while Our boys on the firing line for thirty dollars a month are giving up their very llveB, Is a ques tion that should not go unchallenged and tho perBon who would at this time take from his government, the people, more than Is rightfully duo him for labor performed for the na tion is a species of humanity that will sooner or lator be dealt with In a way that will brand nun as a traitor to, the civilized world. FOR WAR-TIME SCHOOLS. ' Presldont Wilson urges generous support for Bchools of all grades during war time; In a letter to Secretary Lane approving the bureau of education's plan for an educa tional campaign this Buninior . and fall he says: "I am pleased to know that de spite the unusual burdens Imposed upon our people by the war they have maintained their schools and other agencieB of education so nearly at their normal efficiency. That this should be continued' throughout tho war and that, In so far as the di-nlt law will permit, there should bo no falling off in attendance In olcmen tary schools, high Bchools or colleges is a matter of the very greatest im portance, affecting both our strength In war and our national welfare and efficiency when the war Is over. So long us the war continues there will bo constant need of very large num-boi-B of men and women of the high est and most thorough training for war service In many lines. After the war thore will be urgent noed not only for trained jicadershlp in nil lines of Industrial, commercial, so cial and plvlo life, but for a very high average of Intelligence and prepara tion on the imirt or all the unonlo. 1 would thoroforo urge that the peo ple continue to give generous sup port to their schools of all graduH and that the Bchools adjudt thum HelveB as wisely as possible to 'the now conditions to the end that no boy or girl shall have loss oppor tunity for education bocauso of the war and that the nation may be strengthened ns it can only bo through tho right of education of all Its people. I approve most heartily your plans for mnklng through the bureau of educutlon a comprehensive A WOMAN'S SHOP FOR WOMAN'S WEAR We CatertoYourWants and specialize to meet the de mands of our army of customers THE BELLOWS STORE I THE LADIES' EXCLUSIVE campaign for the support of the schools and for the maintenance of attendance upon them, and trust that you may have the co-operation lu this work of the American council of education," . ti, S. officers die leading men, says a headline. Thereby differing from tho German method of "L,eau on, brave army, your colonel follows behind!" It has been discovered that Flanders' Is an unhealthy place for Germans. The civilized world Is be ginning to resemble Flanders In that respect, Can't Bee why Germany Is surpris ed at the ffumber of Americans over there. Only thing Is the Kaiser didn't know America and Its people. Great Britain is really gottlng brutal. Not content with sealing of Zeebrugge, it has now determined to close the enomy banks. The German Initiative paralyzed. In spots It.more resembles St. Vitus dance. DRAFT RULES GIVEN .
