CAMPAIGN UTICItATUltE.
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. Their

ACTION. RIGHT QUICK
''Uieutemmt Garland in?"
asked a huskylooking citizen as
he stepped Into the tank corps
temporary recruiting office in
the Corbett building, says the
Portland Telegram.
"Absolutely," smiled the lieu-
tenant.
"My najne's fiogard. I was
talking' to yo uover the long
distance from Roseburg. Head
about the tank corps In the
Telegram. 1 want to enlist"
"Want to fight?" the lieu ton-
ant Jerked out at him sudden-
ly. Mr. Bogard a answer, in two
words, left no room for doubt.
- "Now, looka here," sakl Bo-
gard belligerently. "Doggoneit,
1 joined this because I want ao
tlon. I dowanna stick around
in some training camp for a
coppla years. Do I get action?"
"You do," Bald the lieutenant,
eyes twinkling. "You getull
the action there Is. 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."
THE TANKS,
I take off my hat to the husky
marines,
And the Yankee crews sailing the
brine,
And the boys of the sky with 'the dar-
, Ing to riy
Are tho igrittlest lads of their time.
And the tars who-are manning the
old submarines
Measure big with the rest of tho
Yanks,
All are heroes God knows, yet I get
to my toes
When they mention tho mon In the
tanks.
And Its listen to the guns
And the music In the din,
for the Dovil gets the Huns
W'hon the tanks go In. '
I've fait that tho .men on the Union
Ing post
Wore the bravest of all of the bravo,
And the boye who could sneeze at
the gas in itlie breeze
Had the oourage that goes to the
grave.
And tho follows that tunnel 'neath
no-man's-land
Aro the norvlest guys In the ranks.
But 1 can't keep still ami' I can't help
turn!
When they mention the men in the
tanks.
And the shraJpnol comes,
. And the Yanks Just grin,
For tho Devil gets the Huns
When tile tanks go in.

Prune growers should closely
watch tholr prunes if they have not
already put on a Uordoau applica

spray ought to be made. Weather
