Under date of July 2, 1918, Scott Ferris, Oklahoma congressman, chair man of the democratic national con gressional comimttee, has put out a letter on the letterhead of the house icommlttee on public lands, boasting of the record of the administration "(during fourteen months of war," and enclosing a copy of President Wilson's last add reus to congress, which he begins with the atatemont: "If we are to wage the war at all, we should wage It vigorously." In other words, the chairman of the democratic national - congressional committee himself raises a question; of doubt as to whether we should be ! waging war. "If we are to wage war at all" certainly Involves a ques tion as to whether we should be wag- ting war. The question of whether or not we ane to wage war is of the past Vro are at war. It is no time lor the chairman of the democratic con gressional committee to be Issuing an implied apology for a state of war, We are at war. There are no "Ifs" about it, and no "ifs" should be talk ed about by the man who 1s in charge of the democratic campaign for con trol of the next congress. If Chairman Ferris had said, "If we are to have a congress at all, wo should have a Klnmocratic congresB, the statement would involve that there Is some qucBtlon aboiuit whuthor we should have a congress. If he had said, "If we are to have politics at all this year, it should be demo cratic politics," It Would Imply that thore should be no politics. When he says, "If we are to wage war at all, wo should wage it vigorously," It 1h an apology to every voter who Is op posed to the war. Otherwise Chair man Ferris would have mid, "We should wage the war vigorously," and lot it go at that. We are at war. The next congresH , should not be under the control of j men who are disposed to apologize for that Btate of affairs, after thoy have as congressmen votexl. for war! end ask for re-olectton on bho ground that we are In war. This Is no time for apologies, or for concessions to pacifist or disloyal sentiment. Wo are at war. And tho democratic na tional congressional committee Is headed by a man who starts a cam palgn letter with tho phrnBo: "If we are to wage war at all. The next drlvo or local iniportnce will be for the Salvation Army und it ought to be. a lilunimer.

You get more action than Die front line trenches. You get right out where things are buzzing. How does that strike you?" "Fine. I am giving up two farms In southern Oregon to get Into the scrap."
