WILSON ADMINISTRATION MAS
TERS WAR PROBLEMS
Even, partisan critics admit that
the Democratic party is constructive
and capable of mastering the great
economic problems of a world war.
Why? Because they cannot escape
these unprecedented achievements of
a Democratic president and a demo
cratic congress:
The Federal Reserve Law, conceiv
ed and executed before "Germany set
the universe on fire, enabled America
not only to face the greatest conflict
in all history without a tremor, but
has placed the country upon a sound
and stable basis; has emancipated
industrial and commercial interests
from domination by special interests;
freed the nation from the danger of
financial panics and made possible
the wonderful existing prosperity.
The Farm Loan Act, passed as an
economic measure before the United
States was a belligerent, has given tere oi tne worKmgman and wo
fnrmpra at roaannnhln rntpa nf in- 1 man. In this same connection may
terest the means for raising neces- i
sary crops, needed to feed our army "'sure wat emancipated cnnaren
and navy and civilian population and from industrial oppression and as
the peoples of our Allies. The opera- ' surea them education instead of fac
tion of the system has. had the effect to.'B,a.v"y-
of realizing a reduction of at least The Jobless man and the manless
one per cent in the average rate of Jb have been brought together
interest on farm loans. through an intelligence system in the
Government Control of Railroads, Department of Labor. While the
has eliminated obstructive competi- war has reduced the labor supply
tion which previously hampered pri- and lven every man not in the
vately operated carriers and has
speeded up production of war essen-
tials by expediting transportation.
The public, the railroad employes and ,
the stockholders all have derived ben-
efits from this progressive step. The
public gained through the eradication j
of cut-throat methods; the employes
gained through increased wages and
fair working hours, and the stock
holder gained by a guaranteed return
on his investment.
The War Finance Corporation pro
vides essential credits for industries
and enterprises necessary or contrib
utory to the prosecution of the war.
It extends needed aid to war indus
tries to enable them to meet the de
mands of the country, and insures a
continuous and adequate flow of sup
plies to our soldiers and Allies.
The Alien Property Custodian is
placing millions of German-owned
and German-controlled dollars in the
United States at the disposal of the
government to be used against Ger
many during the war.
The War Trade Board, under presi
dential proclamation, is carrying orn
an economic warfare that prevents
trade with the enemy. Controlling
an exports from and imports to the
umieu snaies, me war iraae Hoard
has rendered exceptional service to
the country and our Allies.
War Risk Insurance not only forti-
lies the soldier and the sailor and
their dependents in the event of
death or injury but likewise insures
American merchant ship owners,
masters and crews against the loss
of vessels, dfeath or injury while car-
lying supplies overseas to our troops
and our Allies in Europe. Because
of the navy's effective wok in the
submarine zone the Marine Insurance
rate on hulls and cargoes had been
reluced from 6 to 2 per cent since
the beginning of the war.
Dependents of our fighting men, in
addition to being assured indemnities
and compensation if their loved ones
make the supreme sacrifice, also are
aided by the government through a
system of allotments and allowances
during the war period.
The tariff has been removed from
politics by the creation of the Tariff
Commission, a nonpartisan body,
which is quietly but effectively pro
viding means of protection to Amer
ican manufacturers against any
emergency which may follow the
close of the war.
War revenue problems have been
solved by the administration through
the enactment of equitable tax laws
which place the burden of financing
the war upon those best able to pay.
The program includes income tax in
creases, an inheritance tax and a
special tax levy upon munitions of
war.
The Federal Trade Commission has
supplied the demand for a tribunal
to arbitrate commercial disputes, to
prevent "unfair competition" and to
pi fijirfsj si
JjfHIS is of course necessary
in order to finance both
war and commerce during this
emergency.

The Ship Purchase Act and the
Merchant Marine law, in the face of
determined opposition by Republican
reactionaries, who stubbornly oppos
ed the government entering the ship
building business more than a year
before America entered the war, has
enabled the establishment of great
ship yards where records are daily
being made in the building and
launching of vessels for overseas
commerce.
Agricultural extension through the
medium of the Smith-Lever Act, has
become a reality and with the aid of
the government the productiveness
of American farms is steadily in
creasing.
Labor's Magna Charta is the' right
ful term that has been applied to the
series of humane laws that have been
enacted and put into operation by
the Wilson administration in the in-
be mentioned the great social justice

tain work, the fact remains that he
fore the war steps had been taken to
solve the unemployment problem.
Vocational education, long talked
of in legislative halls, is no longer a
dream but is rapidly becoming an
actuality under the laws passed by
a Democratic congress. The system
in operation insures tle training of
the youth of the land in useful oc
cupations. Facilities for aiding American con
quests of foreign markets have been
added and administered with conspic
uous success through the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
Department of Commerce.
NEW ORGAN APPEARS
"Makin Paper" is the expressive
title of the new company organ of
the Crown Willamette Paper mills,
which appeared on our exchange
desk this week. Thirty-two pages of
clever text, garnished with numerous
half-tones of mill scenes from the
several plants of the company, com
prise the booklet, which has for its
cover a rare old picture of the orie-
innl npwa-nrinf. mill nf tho fnnaf tho
Taylor mill on Paper creek, in Marin
county, California. Each branch mill
has a department in the publication,
which will be distributed among the
employes each month. The purpose
0f "Makin" Paper" is for a medium
of reliable information among the
employes of the mills, though they
may be separated by many miles,
James H. ra-v nt lh, wt
mill, is editor in chief of the journal,
and has as associates clever writers
from each of the several other plants.
Patriotic support of the government
is embodied in the many articles
which appear in the initial issue, and
a column of short and pithy humoi
is shown. The issue is nicely print
ed, and shows a good arrangement.
Accompanying the first number was
a series of large photographs of the
company plants in various parts of
the Northwest and California, which
are highly pleasing.
The Courier extends fraternal
greeting to the editors of the new
publication, and may we see more
of their splendid work.

SECOND TRAINING CAMP
WILL OPEN AT EUGENE
University -of Oregon, Eugene, July
15 Success attending the first sum
mer military training camp which is
to conclude its work at the end of
this month, has resulted in the de
cision to open a second camp to run
four weeks from August 5. A total
of 240 men will be admitted.
Training will be given by a full
set of military instructors headed by
Lieutenant Colonel John Leader, late
commander of the Royal Irish Rifles,
a regiment which was all but wiped
out at the Battle of the Somme.
Colonel Leader, wounded, was dis
charged from the army as unfit for
further service. For the last six
months he has been at the head of
the military science department in
the University. With him is associ
ated Colonel William H. C. Bowen,
U. S. army, retired, who is professor
of military science and tactics in
the University, under the authority
of the war department. These officers
are assisted by a staff of University
men who have- had special training
in their respective subjects. Mem
bers of the regular University facul
ty teach the mathematics and other
scientific subjects demanded in the
course.
The course in the camp includes
the following subjects: Military Drill
and Parade, Principles of Campaign-
ng, Tactics and Strategy, Feld En
gineering, bignaling, Topography,
Musketry, Mathematics, Camouflage,
First Aid, Officers School, Military
Organization, Gas School, Trench
Warfare, Artillery Drill, 'Military
Law, Bombing and Bayoneting, and
trench. Besides these, there is giv
en a thorough course in physical
training, under an expert, to put the
men in prime condition for the ardu
ous work of the camp.
Men in the first summer camp have
come from many walks of life. Bank
ers, lawyers, capitalists, clergymen,
clerks, engineers, insurance men,
students, teachers all have their rep
resentation among the 150 now here
for training.
Announcements of the second camp
give the following list of men for
whom the work is especially design
ed:
Men of draft age; business and
professional men above draft age,
who may wish to increase their phys
ical and military fitness, preparatory
to trying for officers' commissions or
for training home guard and militia
units; home guard officers and men:
high school teachers who will be en
abled to introduce or improve rhili
tary training in their schools; unl
versify and high school students; and
scout leaders.
The age limit will be 18 years or
over. Men with sufficient intelli
gence to grasp the work offered will
be accepted, but those with college
education or training are preferred
Applicants are asked to have a phys
ical examination before enrolling, to
ascertain whether they can probably
stand the physical strain of the
work.
Strict military discipline is observ
ed at the camp. Reveille is sound
ed at 6:30, and taps at 10:45. Gen
eral leave is granted from noon Sat
urday until taps Sunday night. The

WAR TIME SONG WRITTEN
FOR THE BOYS ON THE FARM
The following was written by N.
C. Maris, of the state bureau of edu
ction, and was dedicated to the win
ners of the 1917 Industrial Club con
tests, in which work he takes a lead
ing interest.
KEEP THE GARDENS GROWING
(Tune Keep the Home Fires
Burning)
They were summoned from the farm
stead, They were called from every school,
And their teachers found them ready
Kt the call their work to pool;
And they joined the commissary,
With a courage and a will,
Food to raise for allied nations,
Prussian tyranny to kill.
Chorus
Keep the gardens growing,
By eternal hoeing,
Though our boys are far away,
They must have food;
There are ships a-sailing,
O'er the ocean trailing,
Keep them loaded to the rail
Till the war is won.
From the Whitehouse came a plead
ing,
'Help a nation in distress,"
nd we joined the commissary:
'Honor made us do no less."

DEVIL WORSHIPING IN HAITI
Kere the Savage Instincts of the
Blacks Have Been Fed and Fos
tered for Centuries.
Aside from warlike considerations,
people have become so accustomed tp
being safe that It Is something of a
shock to learn that ouly a few hun
dred miles from the centers of Amer
ican culture there Is an almost savage
country. The Islands of the West In
dies are, as a rule, the abodes of en
lightenment where any one, man or
woman, may travel without fear of
molestation. "But such is not the
case In Haiti," says A. Hyatt Verrlll In
"The Book of the West Indies." "Here
the shortcomings, the failures, the sav
age Instincts of the blacks have been
fed and fostered for centuries. From
untamed jungles they were brought In
reeking, pest-ridden slave ships to
serve beneath the lash. Debased, un
taught, they rose, and In a resistless
wave of black swept the dominating
whites .foni the land. Then were
loosened all the pent-up hatred, the
uudying lust for revenge, the sup
pressed savagery of the African races,
and slaughter, rapine, Incendiarism,
torture and debauchery stalked naked
through the stricken land."
Haiti has Improved considerably
since then, but there Is yet much room
for Improvement. "The only wonder
Is that any vestige of civilization re
mains, that there Is the semblance of
rule, of Industry, of order In the re
public." Among the barbarisms now
prevalent In Haiti 'are voodoolsm and
obeah, the former a kind of devil
worship, and the latter a form of
witchcraft. "In Its most fanatical
form voodoolsm requires human sacri
fices, which are accompanied by cnlT
nlballstic feasts and unspeakable or
gies Obeah. on the other
hand, Is merely witchcraft with lo re
ligious significance whatever, and In
Its most malignant form consists of
poisoning with devilish Ingenuity, and
In Its commonest and least virulent
form amounts' merely to a lot of non
sense, hocus-pocus and mummery."
Indians Best Walkers.
When It comes to feet civilized man
has a thing or two to learn from the
dog eating Igorrote or the pigeon toed
American Indian, says Prof. L. J. Rich
ardson in a bulletin entitled "The Sol
dier on Foot," and issued by the Uni
versity of California.
Becoming a patron of the long
abused pigeon toed man Professor Rich
ardson says that the normal gait of
man Is exemplified by the American
Indian, who walks with his feet set par
allel or even with the toes turned
slightly inward. In this way all the
toes function and the lifting and pro
pelling power of the foot Is at Its maxi
mum, he says.
While deploring the army regula
tions requiring a soldier to stand with
his toes turned out at an angle of
about 45 degrees, because of the ten
dency to cause eversion of the foot
and weakness of the posterior arch,
Professor Richardson is sufficiently op
timistic for civilized man to conclude
that in spite of the Inherited and ac
quired bad habits he can reform and
"learn to walk" with fair results.
Walking In tight shoes generation
after generation is the cause of nearly
all the foot troubles of civilized man,
the professor says. This condition, he
says, has left but a single strong toe
on either foot, the others being In some
measure atrophied.
Frequent washing, trimming the toe
nails and an avoidance of change from
high to low heeled shoes are suggested
as a means of obviating much foot
trouble.
When Exempt From Duty.
Section 50 of the army law now In
force reads: "The vice president of
the United States, the officers, judicial
and executive, of the government of
the United States and of the several
states and territories; persons in the
military or naval service of the United
States ; customs house clerks ; persons
employed by the United States in the
transmission of the mall; artificers
and workmen employed in the
armories, arsenals and navy yards of
the United States ; pilots ; marines ac
tually employed in the sea service of
any citizen or merchant within the
United States shall be exempt from
militia duty without regard to age;
and all persons who, because of relig
ious belief, shall claim exemption from
military service, if the conscientious
holding of such belief by such person
shall be established under such regu
latlons as the president shall prescribe,
shall be exempted from militia serv
ice In a combatant capacity; but no
person so exempted shall be exempt
from militia service In any capacity
that the president shall declare to be
noncombntunt."
Canned Turtle.
The advantage of New Orleans as a
port was emphasized in the opening of
a canning factory for the distribution
of real green sea turtles. With the ex
ception of a small factory at Key West.
It will be the only establishment of Its
kind In America. The factory has been
situated at Miami, Fla., but the exces
sive freight rates and a lack of steam
er service to Central American ports
led to Its removal to Bay St. Louis. It
handles nothing but green sea turtles
caught In Central American waters,
and these are put up in four different
forms clear green turtle soup, thick
green turtle soup, turtle beef In Creole
style, aud "calllpe," which Is the meat
of the turtle taken from Its breast,
back and flippers. The factory turns
out about 15,000 enns a day, or a total
of 7'Xi,000 pounds a year, Including all
products. There is also a by-product
called turtle oil, used medicinally
