COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER THE ELECTION Republicans have cause to be thankful to President Wilson, for without a doubt be ig responsible for the Republican gains throughout the United States. His appeal to send or return Democrats to congress had wholesome effect upon Republicans it woke them up. Thejr resented the president's political plan and showed that resentment at the polls, rnd Wilson's program was not car ried out. The old G. O. P. elephant la rather cumbersome and moves slowly, but when he is fairly started, he 1 hard to stop. He has too much weight to stop or lie down quickly. But the president nor his support ers neea not De alarmed. Ameri tans are carrying on tnis war pro gram ana it will De carried on liiat the same even though a few new Re publican faces appear In the halls of congress to back up the president and win the war. The new ones will do it just the same as the old ones have. America will win the war and all Americans will share In the new glory of Old Glory. 8TATC8 OF COLONEL HOl'BE A Paris dispatch reports that Presi dent Polncar "received Colonel K. M. House, who presented his creden tials as special reprecentatlve of the United States government to the European governments." This infor mation seems to have been framed by one not fully cognizant of the princi ples of the government of the United States. Colonel House Is not a rep resentative of this government. . He Is the personal friend and unofficial adviser of the president. The constitution prescribes a clear course of official " representation abroad. Defining the powers of the president It says: "He shell have power, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the senators present concur; and he shall nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the senate shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the supreme court and 'all other officers of the United States whose appointments are not herein other wise provided for." Colonel House Is a private citizen, on precisely the same legal footing as any other private citizen. The pres ident has not nominated him to the senate and the' senate, of course, has not confirmed him to any public position. Spokesman-Review. COUNCIL AXD WATER COMMIS SION Elsewhere in the Mist is a com munication from "An Interested Taxpayer" relative to combining the council and water commission. The Mist agrees with this "interested taxpayer." There is no necessity for having a water commission, and imposing burdens on busy men who can ill afford to spr.re the time from their duties. Combine the commis sion and the council. Have six councilmen instead of four and have a committee of the council appointed as the water committee. At the next city election, or sooner should there be a special election, this matter should be brought to the attention of the voters and the charter amended so as to combine the offices of the councilmen and water commissioners. The Mist would like to hear further expression from interested residents and taxpayers relative to the sub ject. . The affairs of the county can be safely entrusted to William J. Ful- lerton, county judge elect. That he will give a safe, sane and progressive administration the Mist is sure.. Election Is now over. Let uc forget about partisan affairs, and set in and help the newly elected officers when It is apparent to us they are endeavoring to perform the duties of the office faithfully and impartially and for the good of the county. If it is not your boy, the Red Cross, T. M. C. A., K. of C, or other war work societies Is helping, per haps it is your 'neighbor's boy. You wouldn't deny him a little pleasure while he is fighting for you, would you? Remember him when the com mittee for the War Work Campaign calls on you. Give and give cheer fully, and thank the good Ir.l that the boy you are helping is taking a part In making the world better for people to live In. GOOD ENOUGH FOR US The voters of Oregon have plaed their stamp of approval on their faithful and competent senator, Charles McNary, and by a large ma jority have endorsed the grand old "war governor" and elected him to serve as Oregon's executive for an other four years. The Mist, while regretting that Columbia county did not give both McNary and Wlthy combe larger majorities. Is proud that these faithful and tried officials received the majority vote and that Columbia county still remains In the Republican ranks, a place where she rightfully belongs. Better bear in mind that the sec ond payment on your Liberty Loan bond becomes due November 21st. Put a little aside so you will be In position to meet this payment. The third payment should be made on December 19th. PEACE PROPOSAIA General Foch will have a great deal to say as to the peace terms to Germany and rightly so, for Foch through the last four years of terri ble warfare has become intimately acquainted with the Hun. He knows his treachery, his savagery and his contempt for anything that savors of fair play. If the matter is left to Foch he will see that if peace Is establish ed, it will be a permanent peace, a peace that will forever bind Ger many. If peace Is not made on this basis, we are likely to see a renewal of horrible war, instead of a progress In human affairs. The Mist does not question Pierce's patriotism. Few would have thought of it, if he hadn't been so loud about it. Some people think of patriotism as did Webster when he gave his de finition of the word as "the love of one's country." Evidently, a majori ty of Oregon's voters thought Web ster's definition applied to Withy combe. He must have proved it to their entire satisfaction if the ma jority he obtained can be taUen as an Indication. The Mist believes it can. Press reports state the kaiser has sent many of his trunks to Switzer land. Nothing definite has been said as to what disposition the "Clown Prince" will make of his uniforms and medals. He has recently been In quite a hurried journey and it (3 pos sible he hasn't taken the time to do very much packing. Even if the armistice Ib signed and peace comes, there will still be nec csrary work to be done for months to come, so don't let up' In your war work endeavors. War Savings Stamps are really a better investment now than ever be fore. Are you keeping your W. 8. 3. pledge. A little extra 'precaution might save an attack of the "flu.'' Study the Draught Ko, we have not misspelled the word. "Draught" is the word we intended to use. In fact, it's the only word that would answer. Because it's the most important feature of those superb Heating Stoves and Ranges What's the use of the best stove in the world if it won't draw? You wouldn't have it as a gift. There's the strong point in our famous UNIVER SAL STOVES and RANGES. We guarantee them to draw if there is any kind of an old hole at the top for the smoke to get out at. While the war is raging across the waters insure peace in your home by installing a reliable Stove or Range. 1. & llffO ADMINISTRATOR') NOTICE IN THE COUNTY .COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF COLUMBIA.

Cash in on Cash WHEN normal conditions return after the smoke of war clears away living costs should go DOWN. Therefore, compare the present buying power of the Dollar about 50 cents with its almost certain buying power in the future the old 100 cents. With but "half-an-eye" anyone can see that the fellow who puts his money in the Columbia County Bank and forgets to draw it out for a little while is going to make about 100 per cent profit on the "exchange" value of his Dollars.
