We're at war with a great power, and every man, loyal ac tion and ounce of grub is need ed to make us strong against a happen. With our boys at the front wo don't propose to take any wounds in the back, says the Vancouver Sun. 1 It has now become evident to nearly every one that officialdom wns barking up the wrong tree when it sought to muzzle the newspapers of the United States. Since the beginning of our war with Germany, the newspapers of the country have loyally sup pressed items that might have been of value to the enemy, but in spite of thin voluntary self censorship of the press, news of military and naval importance continues to reach Germany from this country. - Idaho Statesman. Business interests throughout the state are just now turning much of their attention toward seeing that labor troubles are held to minimum whilo the coun try is passing through the pros tint war. Millions of dollars for investment arc pouring into the stale, dozens of new industries are being started and more are sure to follow. There will bo work, and is today, for every man who wants to work and the wagus arcitlie highest ever paid in the history of the slate, it is said. f Kant St. Louis is paid to de sire now the return or the ne gro workers, driven out as a re milt of recent awful riots. The industrial life of the city is said to have been crippled be cause of the disappearance of the blacks. In view of what has occurred there, Hast St. Louis will be compelled to se cure another kind of labor than the negro. The riots there were not only a disgrace for the city, but a blot on the nation itself.- Ex. Having been voted down twice, the State Orango of Ore gon again takes up the proposi tion of abolishing the Stale Sen ale. Why just the Senate? Why not the House? Why not both houses of tho Legislature? Why not all county and state ollicus, and lot crowds of people moot at tho court house or tho statu canitol and do business right? .lust why tho Crango loaders have any ill fooling to ward the State Senate is di Ill cult to understand. It would show more earnestness, and lesfc political sploon to abolish the untiro Legislature since tho nuoplo can initiate and referend laws. If we are to have radi calism, let's have it good and strong, says the McAlinnville News. It will b gratifying to many of our people to note that the St. .lohns Chautauqua is as sured for no.xt year, The hiuh t monthly on easy terms. Come in and talk it over with us. Mortgage Loans, and Insurance t Peninsula Security Co, J First National Bank Building It seems like Uncle Sam is michty ungrateful old fellow. During the past few months he has made call after call upon the newspapers for free adver tising space. The newspapers have responded with millions of dollars worth or such space, and through the giving of that space, the food preparedness campaigns were made a sue cess; through this free space the liberty loan was oversubscribed CO per cent; through this free space the war census was suc cessfully conducted, and through this free space the $100,000,000 asked for the Iced Cross was oversubscribed. Yet, after all this, congress proposes to put a tax on advertising. Talk about ingratitude! Cottage Grove Sentinel. The proposed tax on advertis ing is, perhaps not the worst knock that the newspapers of the land receive from the gov ernment. Most newspaper offi ces conduct job printing plants in connection. Undo Sam, for some reason or other, has been engaged in tho job printing business for years to somo ex tent. Ho furnishes, stamps prints the name, business am address, and pays the express ago to ditstination on envelopes for business concerns. And li does all this at a nricc muc less than the printer can buy the envelopes blank. Who makes up the deficit in the cost of the envelopes and pays for the stampinir, printing and ex nressaue? The printer: is de prived of this business by tho government, tho business con corns reap tho bonelit, and tho taxpayer probably foots the loss. As a matter of fact, the government has no more right to engage in commercial printing than it does to engage in com morcial nluinhimr or barbcritur It is little wonder that tho pos tal service shows a deficiency almost every year. 1 t A Bit of Reasoning "When you hand a newsboy a nickclvfor a morning news paper," said K. J. Clancy, As sistant to General Manager of the Southern Pacific, "you have spent almost twice as much as the railroad receives for transporting a delicious cantaloupe and a sun-kissed orange from the field and groves of California to the breakfast tables of New York. It costs more to send a letter through the mails from New York to San Francisco than to ship a 55 uunlap, Knox or Stetson hat the same di&tance by freight. At some factory in the East that pair of shoes you are wearing, and which has doubled in price, was loaded into a car and hauled 3000 miles to the Pacific Coast for one-third of what your barbnr would chaVge you for a shave. That suit of clothes you have on was hauled in freight trains one third of the distance around the world at a total cost of about 19 cents. If living in San Francisco, Oakland or other Bay points you would have to eat four Petaluma eggs every day for two months before the cost of transportation thereof would omial the price of a two cent postage stamp. A pound of live beef from Nevada is hauled more than 300 miles to San Francisco over a mountain range a mile and a half high, and lowered a mile and a half to sea level, for about one third of a cent. In view of these facts do you wonder that, burdened by increased wages, increased taxes, increased cost of capital, and increase of from 100 to 500 per cent in the cost of fuel oil, material and supplies, the rail roads sought relief through the medium of a 15 per cent in crease in rates. And did you ever stop to compute or consid er how much such increase would amount to? Well, on a W suit of clothes, $5 hat, $8 pair of shoes. 30 dozen of eggs. and 7 pounds of live beef, ship ped respectively from New York. Petaluma and Wabuska to San Francisco, tho total 15 per cent increase would amount to less than the cost of one trin in a jitney or street enr from tho Civic Center to tho Ferry Build ing or in other words, less than cents." class entertainment provided this year was enjoyed by thoso in attendance. While some of tho entertainments did not greatly interest all at the same timo, yet there was in tho seven day program much of interest to every patron. All of it was clean, wholesome, enlightening and untertainiiig. Tho feature about tho Chautauoua that is moHt appealing is the bring ing of tho best talent obtainable to our very doors, making it unnecessary to go elsewhere to secure like entertainments. Tho only objection heard was that ChautaiHiuas takot money out of tho town. This is true, but it is money well spent. Educa tion always takes money out of town. St. Johns spends thous ands and thousands of dollars that goes out of town every your on education. Fow of tho school instructors reside hero and their salaries are spent olsowhero. Chautauquas are of an educational nature. They (iilliiiie much valuable informa tion bosides providing enter tainment and diversion that is so ossontial to tho well being of a community. It has been said that entertainments as pleasing to somo may bo seen occasionally in Portland for 25 cents. Whilo this may be truo in rogard to ono or two of tho attractions that bit enter ho or she generally manages to loave ono or two dollars or oven more in Portland before return ing. Many in fact, in attend ing one low priced show in Portland, take more money out of tl(o town than tho prico of n season ticket to tho seven day entertainment hero. So the objection on tho score of tak ing money out of town has put little force.

All over the nation farmers are bogging for men to harvest tho crops. Hight around Boise many crops will be wasted un less help can be obtained soon In every city thero aro idlo men who are idle because they choose to be. If not actual tramps tlioy would no regarded as near tramps. Why not draft these men for the farms as our boys are to bo dratted for the army - Boise News. It has been suggested that a committeo of our citizens take up tho matter of the repair of Jersoy street and the low pros sure of water with the city au thoritics. l no idea is a good one. Jersey street is getting in a deplorable condition, and in certain hours of tho day practi cally no water can no securet from tho faucets in somo up stairs rooms, l no price ot wa ter is all right, but tho quantity is woefully deficient. Let the action be taken. r More tenant houses in St. Johns is the crying need of tho hour. It is practically impossi bio to rent a house hero that is in the least modern. Many aro forced to go to 1'ortland proper to reside when they would much rather live here. But there is little relief in sight. Capitnl is slow to tako advantage of tho opportunity, and the increase in retarded table habita tion. An apartment house would prove a profitable investment, as thero is an incessant demand for housekeeping rooms and the supply lias long since be come exhausted. Let capital get busy and relievo the situa tion. . 1 Ambition is man conspire, pire. what makes a porspire und ex- The one industry responsible for n largo share of tho nros- nerity of tho west is shipbuild ing.
