One of the latest suggestions as to
dculing with pro-Germans in this
country is that offered by Dr. Pnvis,
'the American dentist who for some
lyi-nrs had the monopoly of attending
hvening Telegraph Report of United to the Kaiser's teeth. "My advice,"
siys he, " would bo to take the ring.
leaders, put them on a ship, and send
tiem to Hamburg. When they come
tinier the iron hand of that power,
they will become the most loyal Am
oricans'tho world has ever seen."
Strange to say, that is the sort of
penalty . most of the unrcgenernte
-Germans and their apologists in these
Ui-lted Slates, would lie very unw'lll-
ing to accept, remarks the Boston
Post, They prate loudly of the sup
cnor culture and efficiency to .be
fi i-nd in Germany but they do not go
back to that country, and did not

before the war. ,

DI5CEIVING THEMSELVES.
The Berlin reports attempt to show
time the British navy did no damage
of consequence in plugging up the Os
lend submarine vhanncl. t)n the
in her hand pictures taken by aviators
show that the- sinking of the Vindic
tive, loaded with cement, has done a
complete job, and little activity of
German submarines from that point
K.ny be feared for some time to come.
It Is more probable than otherwise
thnt further daring exploits of this'
1( r.cl will be carried out by the Brit
ish tinvy and if, is still' more likely
that the United States sea forces will
nve .something to. do in tfiet way of.
assistance. ' ' ;..)
But it is necessary for the 'German
perple to bo fed on false representa
tions, ' which is the only way the civi-
li:ni morale can be maintained.
One of the latest Inventions of this
. kind is the published reports In Gor
mnr.y as to alleged disaffection if the
United States. A wireless message
of this kind, intended ' for German
consumption, was sent out May 0th,
and It said: '
"According , to Information from
Christiana, Norwegians recently ar
rived from America say grave cases
of insubordination occur daily in Am
ciicnn training camps. At first
breaches of discipline were punished
i by death, hut this was stopped owing
to the number of cases. In n particu
larly flagrnnt instance, all the sol;
diera In u camp actod collectively and
oLtnined not only immunity for the
-mutineers, but punishment for all of
f iters. Furthermore much damago to
woik and material is being done." .
The latter pnrt saying, "Much diim
age to work and material is being
dene" is to bolster up the belief in
Geimnny that the Berlin hatched
schemes for retarding America's part
iif the war are being carried out.
The day is speeding right along

Simpson is smiling nnd telling those
whom he meets thnt he has got It

sheet before the. interested listener. It
is to tho effect that he will poll al
most un unanimous vote in Southern
Oregon nnd Coos Bny. will get the best
of the Eastern Oregon vote, jind .wilt
carry Multnomah county by 1 7,000
plurality.1 He is right probably In
some of his belief and wrong in parts
of it. Many say that had Louie the
time to met all the voters, school
would be out and the election would
be n sweop. But he hns not had that
time and therefore it is contended
that the name Simpson means little to
the voters who hnve never seen or
heard him, nnd these voters are al
ready familiar with the name of Ol
cott, Withycombo nnd Moscr. In
Portlund, Simpson hns a working
force, but at thnt it is believed he
will have a hard time - wrenching
Multnomah from Gus Moscr.
One of the things that look like
Simpson is arriving ut a point when
the wiseacres in politics feel ha might
be dangerous is the desire on the part
of friends of Withycombe and Olcott
to make it positive that the race is
between these : two. 'Ralph Watson,
who is. a friend to Olcott, has begun
to write in the Journal the story of the
Hwo candidate race,'' naming Withy

Dr. Anderson, will get more votes
than anyone is figuring on. That Is
.1 settled fact. A lot of people feel so
keenly the prohibition platform upon
which the Doctor is running that they
are going to vote for him, feeling

hibition than if they should cast it for
any other candidate, although nil

Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you nre hurled with work
and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now.
You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for n first-clnss
1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for
years. Sacks for the samo amount of grain will cost you
$125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.
A granary of this size can be moved anywhere and can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
labor handling and sewing sacks.
