WILBUR ON WAR PROFITS. In speaking of mun who get rich from war profits, Ruy Ionian Wilbur says: ' 1 '. ''The world stnndB breuthless to day watching tho greatest race in nil human history, the race between tho United States . and Germany, Ger many trying to close up the war be fore America can get into it, am America trying to get in before it is too lute. : Those dreadful words 'too kite,' we have heard altogether too often in'this war, but they must nev er apply to the food supply of oui allies. p "Before each American stands tin personal responsibility of doing hi. part three times a day to see that . moot the imperative food needs of tho armies and peoples abroad. Food in the weapon with which America can maintain a position in the vfrr long enough finally to win it. Foot li not saved to save money, but tc save tho lives that will win tho war. JOHN COCHRAN. Excellent judgment was shown by the Republican. Stnta Central Commit tee when that body elected John Coch ran for its secretary. The import .nnce of 'the secretaryship is known to evtry person who bus ever attempted, t ) conduct a campaign and iu reality the man who holds that office is the mun upon whom rests the burden of al' undertakings of tho organization In John Cochran tho Rcpublicnr pnrty of Oregon will find a diligent worker, a mun who stands for nothing but fairness to all, a willing helper and an Individual who has more po litical acumen than most men who. seek office or attempt to lead in party affairs. His knowledge of the stntt and his acquaintance with people in every county places him in touch im mediately with nil nffuirs. And tlieie is a large number of Republicans over Oregon who, when the name of John Cochran Is mentioned as secretary of tho committee, will nt once feel a per sonal Interest in all work undertaken by the committee. Tho selection is the very best that could have been made. We are not spending money today to get that Liberty, Freedom and Jus Hicc we demand. AVo are spending tho precious blood of men and boys iho best that we have by the hun cds and by the thousands. js'God may forgive the man who B kc money out of this war, but the A nerienn people and the soldier wh' it tirns from France never will."

Yoon has given his time for several years, and spent much of his own money, that Multnomah county might have good highways. Now he is being sued by some taxpayer, the clwges being apparently intended to blacken his character and destroy bis reputation. .Such is life. 'Denton liurdltk, of Deschutes coun ty, seeks the speakership of the next Houses of Representatives. And Den ton Burdick Is one of the cleanest young men in the state, thoroughly cnpublc. It would be no mistake to select him for this position. . WISE AND OTHERWISE The brotherhood of mail and tho nls terhood of woman Is tho highest level mun can reach on cnrlli.

The flolden Rule makes lis nil broth ers, while the rule of gold innkes us all enemies tho dllferonee between gold en Ideas In our head and gold dollars In our slocking. Helping to win political Justice for others, Is the best way to win eternal Justice for mirselves. The church peo ple out of politics are out of tho king's iilghway to heaven.
