Kril JUST AMERICANS '.,.,. Occasionally a man rises and makes a remark that echoes down tho ages. "I apeak not as a Democrat hut as an American." This is one of those remarks that will keep the memory of Senator Chamlierlain alive in American history. Senator (Jhamlicrlain, when he said it, was addressing (he National Security league upon an important national suhjoct, universal military training, which he advocates and urges. It is a matter of pleasure and pride that our senior Oregon senator has stepped into a position of national prominence, that he occupies important, positions on Senate committeesmd that he has the courage and the daring to lie a senator and not a mere puppet in these lively times. No one doubts Senator Chamberlain's patriotism or his wisdom. His bill for a minister of munitions should be uassed. 1 1 is bill for a war council should be adopted immediately. Senator Chamberlain wants the war conducted with vigor and efficiency. That is what the country wants, o. His bills will help the President in his enormous ask. The Observer speaks as an American, too. These are I lie days when there are no Democrats, no Republicans, j:o Progressives, no Socialists just 'red-blooded Amer- ans. . m . A AVAR MEASURE Industrial America was surprised and shocked at Fuel i Vlmimstrator (larhcld s order closing certain industries. iit soon recovered and received it craccfullv when it was discovered that it was an important war measure.

If he had clearly explained the reasons .or ins action at tlie start, had taken the business world into lus confidence, no confusion would have resulted IT.... 1 i. . ..i. i , . . upon such important matters tne American people are entitled to know the reasons. It will not do to keep them in tne tiarK. . STRAAYS All is not peaceful and quiet in the interior of (iermanv r:ud Austria-Hungary. Rumblings are coming to the sur- lace. in course, tliinus may not be as serious as we think I lie wish is father to the thought, and we naturallv read with interest about everv riot, everv revolt, of soldiers very desertion from the army, lint these are stars which How wludi way the wind is blowintr. Slowlv but surelv the power oi the Central Powers will crumble, ahd then the collapse will come. AVIicn.no one knows. There will ie battles and big battles; of the final victorv of the United rtates and tne Allies' tnere can lie, no doubt. ,. ( . o . Everyone will have a chance to dance toniirht for tin- Red Cross. EDITORIAL COMMENT Call for Books The libraries are, still calling for good books for the ildiers. II eVCI'Volle WOll d colll ri Ulte the kkiIts he du ns. lilt does not read and never will read, the call would be not lor hooks hut lor a lot ol lug buildings 111 which to house them. Orcgonian. Do Not Neglect the Gardens It would be a serious mistake to'neglect the war garden in 1918, and the state campaign proposed by the Oregon Agricultural College deserves encouragement. Not. onh well-doing, but persistence in well-doing, will be needed in every department to win the war.
