Headers of The Sentinel will remeni bor that less thau two years ago we had some few things to say about the eon duet of affairs at the comity court house and that we made some personal references to the inauuer in which some of the county officers conducted their business. As a result of these remarks of ours some economics were put into practice aud it is worthy of notice thut by tue first of next January only one of the old officers will be on the job aud his term of office has not expired since the time of the fight on the court house ring. It is also worthy of mention to note that the sheriff's office has adopted several of the suggestions made by The Beutinel at that time. One of these sug gestions was that the sheriff should feed the prisoners at cost and thut he should accept no emoluments outside his salary. We dislike to say anything that may be construed as a kind word concerning a democrat, but it is a fact that Sheriff Elkins, immediately upou assuming office, adopted this sugges­ tion. Another suggestion that we made was that the deputies should come from dif ferent parts of the county, and not all from Eugene. Sheriff Elkins has again adopted our suggestion, as is witnessed by the appointment of Alta King, of this city, as head deputy in that office. Now. if Stacy Kussell would be as kind as Sheriff Elkins, we might have things running to suit us. and we antici pate that some startling economies will be effected in his office after the first of next January. Some folks said we were foolish to go after the county officers the way we did, but we told them we would get re­ sults— and our prediction is being rapid­ ly fulfilled. white clothcs. < asoli ol ly as well as co m fo rtiih h attired F o r white is thè vi r j eiiibodimcnt of su m m e r's b righiness and elicei il is appi opt mie fot every happy occhm ioii am i ito color mote hccomiiig lo every w ornati tinnì w Itile.

He is a person with whom we do not desire to associate. He is an undesir­ able citizen. A slacker is one who is shirking bis patriotic duty in these times when all our energies shoull lie directed towards winning the war. /There is no dispute on that point. But there is some dispute as to just how much each citizen or any certain citizen should do, or just bow much he can be expected to do, as gauged by the time he must take in earning a liv­ ing. We do not hesitate to say that the man who shirks a military duty is a slacker. We do not hesitate to say that the person who can give to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A., and does not do so, is one of the most contemptible of slack­ ers. We do not hesitate to say that the citizen who does not back the boys in the trenches with his dollars is another of the contemptible brand of slackers. We do not hesitate to say that the person who does not try to save food and to use as much as possible of the substitutes is a slacker. Thus far there is no difficulty in pick ing the slacker at whom to point the finger of scorn. But there are other duties to be per­ formed besides contributing to the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. There are other duties besides subscribing to lib­ erty loans and conserving the food sup uly. Much voluntary work must be done in putting on these various drives. Thou sands of dollars' worth of time must be given in every community in promoting war activity. Women must give liberally of their time in doing Red Cross work. Girls must give liberally of their time in doing Honor Guard work. Home guard companies are now con­ sidered a military necessity, and mem­ bers, especially officers, must give lib­ erally of their time. These activities must be carried on. It is requiring much of the time of cit­ izens to do these things. Many must be greatly inconvenienced to the end that all these activities may lie brought to a successful conclusion, for if the work at home is not, done the boys In the trenches will be helpless. Where is the line of demarkation be­ tween slacker and patriotic citizen in carrying on these various activities?
