THREE ROUSING CHEERS
Now that President Wilson and
the Federal Trade Commission
have fixed the steel price at $58
per ton, Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels may smile and
say "I told yo so."
Daniels was the man who dis
covered $58 steeJL
Many months ago, when the
war was young and the demand
for steel plates for warships was
vigorous, the Honorable Josephs
"went to the mat" with the steel
crowd. They wanted to charge
him all kinds of prices, begin
ninf at $85 and ranging upward.
General Goethals thought $85
was a fair price for expedited
steel.
But the Honorable Josephus
took out his little pencil and
wrote on a little piece of paper,
$58.
"That," said he, "will be
about the price the government
will pay. That gives you a profit
of nearly $25 a ton, sufficient in
ducement to hustle."
The steel men saw Daniels
meant business, and signed up
for about 700.000 tons at that
figure. - They waited and la
mented, however, and cast ashes
on their head3. And now, by
jimminy cracks, along comes ihe
president and the Federal Trade
Commission and say Josephus
was right, and that the price of
steel is, and shall ever after re
main, $58 a ton.
Now, bullies, three rousing
cheers for Josepkus! Portland

TWO GERMANIES
"History knows two Germaies.
There is a Germany which is very
dear to the descendants of the
sons of the fatherland, and they
may be found in every country
on earth hosts of them in our
own. It is a Germany that in
the past has appealed" to the af
fection and admiration of peoples
of other tongues and lands. It
is a Germany of love and ro
mance, of poetry and song, of
music, of art and of literature,
the Germany of folk love, folk
lore and folk life. It is a Ger
many that exists today only in
the hearts of those who love
what it has been. It is a Ger
many that has been transformed
by a despotism that has filled
the world with terror a Ger
many of the clinking saber and
the iron heel." Spokane Spokesman-Review.
LEAP FOR LIFE

young men were driving a car on
Chemeketa along in front of the
Argo hotel, and when they saw
the fire engine approaching,
swung close to the curbing. But
not quite clcse enough as in mak
ing the turn, the fire engine
swung over to that side of the
street, striking the Independence
car, knocking off a rear wheel. -Salem

INDEPENDENCE NAVY
BOY WRITES
Mare Island, Oct. 6.-T0 the
Editor Thursday, Oct 4th, was
what the Y. M. C. A. called
"paper day" and we were all
requested to write to our home
paper and tell what'navy life
wp.s like. Sol will try and do so.
We are stationed at Mare
Island. A small strip of water
separates us from the mainland.
One could not wish for a better
home than it is, except it is bet
ter aboard ship. It is a compar
atively easy to what one would
have in civil life. The routine is
the worst thing at first, but as
soon as one gets used to it, it is
great. At 5:30 comes reville and
we must be up and dressed and
have cur hammocks lashed at
5:45. Then we clean the bar
racks. At seven we have break
fast and are then free until 8:45
when first call for quarters is
sounded and at 9:00 we muster
and are taken out to drill.
There are four drill periods
each day. From 9:15 until 10:15
is the first drill period. The next
period js from 10:30 until 11:30.
We are allowed 15 minutes for a
smoke and a breathing spell. At
11:30 is retreat from all work
and 12:00 we have dinner, and do
nothing then until 1:00 when we
go out and drill until 2:15. We
are again allowed 15 minutes for
a smoke and then we drill until
3:30 when we are turned loose
for good.
At five we have supper and at
7:30 hammocks is sounded and
we can go to bed if we wish
(which we seldom do). At 8:55
comes first call for silence and at
9:00 comes tatoo which means
that lights are out and we must
pipe down. At 9:05 taps is blown
and we are all supposed to be
asleep.
We have a thousand and one
ways in which to amuse our
selves in our leisure moments.
For instance, there is a real nice
library on the Island; also a pool
hall. We have baseball gear and
football gear, and a hammer and
shot. Every Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday nights the Pantages
circuit has a show on the Island,
movies and vaudeville, so we en
joy ourselves very much. Also
every Saturday and Sunday and
sometimes in the mid-week we
are allowed liberty in San Fran-,
cisco, so we do not notice not
being able to come and go as we
like.
Our drills are not very strenu
ous. We have Swedish, infantry,
skirmish boat drills, signal drills,
bayonet exercises, manual of
arms and physical drill. Under
arms one gets pretty tired at first
but after one does them a while
they are not hard.
The Y. M. C. A. is helping the
boys out in ways too numerous
to mention. They have started
several schools at the canton
ment, where one can study any
language one wiihes to, also
algebra, geometry, luechanics
nearly everything in fact. They
also have several Bible classes on
the Island which are real good
and help uso.er many stumbling
blocks.
There is only one trouble and
that is that we have to wear
white clothes all the time, which
gives us a great deal of scrub
bing to do. Every night we have
to scrub a suit of whites. It h
neither too warm nor too cold
here so white clothes is just the
uniform for us.

ALLEN EATON AFFIRMS
HIS LOYALTY
Allen Enton of Eugene, mem
ber of the Oregon legislature and
one of the faculty of the state
university, whose loyalty has
been questioned because he at
tended the recent meeting of the
"People's Council" in Chicago,
affirms his patriotism in the fol
lowing ringing words:
"This is my country, not as
perfect as it should be, not as
perfect as it must be, not as per
fect as I want to help make it;
but it is my country, and I love
it This is my government, not
a perfect government, far, far
from it, but the best that strug
gling man has yet devised, and
it is mine, mine to help make
better, and mine to defend and
support.
"This is my war, not of my
making, not of my choosing, but
it is mine. There was a time
when it was the privilege and
the duty of every citizen to keep
us out or to leud us in as he
saw the light. But that time
passed when war was declared.
We must not look back now, we
must look forward. We must
carry it through until our cause
is won.
"I am against the German
government as it now is, its form
its purpose and its method. I
have always been. I always will
be. And lam against those same
forms, those same purposes and
those same methods, under dif
ferent and softer names wher
ever they exist.
"I am opposed to peace at any
price. The only peace I want is
a righteous peace; no other can
be an enduring peace. I am not
willing that we should stop this
war until the doom of Prussian
militarism is sealed.-in every
land i.nd on every sea.
"But I am not willing to con
tinue this war one day longer
than is necessary, and if it is con
tinued one day longer, even in
the name of patriotism, of liber
ty or of God, it will be a crime in
which I will not knowingly take
part."

eaused gas and sourness. Also had
stomach catarrh. ONE SPOONFUL
buckthorn bark, glycerins, etc., as

even more important than tha

of Prussiiinism. It is the supreme
reason why this war has become eo

Cost of Food Products

Br J. OCDEN ARMOUR, Mtmbtr ol

MEAT price increases are not
due to big profits, so fur ait
the meat purveyors are con
cerned. It is actually a fact that
the fresh incut from the steer or hug
or sheep is sold by the packer to the
retailer ut a tigure which often fail,
to pay for the raw product that is,
the animal on the hoof. The profit
which enable the packer to handle,
meat ut less than cost are due to tha
utilization of those portions of tha
animals which until recent year
were wasted or destroyed.
THE WORLD DEMAND FOR FOOD
WAS NEVER 3REATER THAN iT
19 TODAY.
It is my opinion, however, that
before the price of meat and of
other food products as well can be
materially reduced there will have
to be a fiirreaching change in the
demands made by the public upon
the retail trade.
In the first nhice, there are too
many stores. It is obvious that if
there were only a third as many a
now exist each one would do about
THREE TIMES THE VoUJMB
OF BUSINESS IT IS NOW DO

adopt the cash and carry system of
purchasing instead of clinging to
the credit and delivery plan it would
