GOVERNORSHIP CONTEST
Ofcvieusly the governorship cam
pain U simmering down to a contest
between Wlthycombe and OlcotL 8lm
noa la making a gallant fight but his
support, says the Oregon Voter. Is
limited to those who know him and in
addition are indifferent to whether Ol
cott of Wlthycombe la nominated. He
has k host of admiring friends, who
have every confidence in his ability
and believe him to be of real big cal
iber, but who regard It aa of import
ance to defeat Olcott and who hence
cannot nee their way clear to aup
lort Simpson. They are giving their
support to Wlthycombe.
Moser 'a candidacy looked formid
able for a while, who the grange-labor
Won Fart Uan league group ot rad
icals were applauding his denuncia
tion of 8imon Benson and the slate
highway commission, but apparently
no part of this group has any real
confidence in Moser and his support
has dwindled .to almost nothing. He
and Dr. Anderson, the prohibiiton can
didate, are now cutting very little
figure. The grange-labor-Non-Partlsan
league element in the republican party
lining up for Olcott with the be
lief that he will give attentive and
sympathetic hearing to their sugges
tions. The way some of the leading Simp
eon sapporters feel is indicated by the
following sufficient editorial in the
Marshfleld Record:
"Here on Coos Bay the vote for gov
th tor la certain to go to L. J. Simp
won, home loyalty makes that a fore
gone conclusion. However, if there
wnould be anyone who hesitates about
voting tor Mr. Simpson, let him re
member Governor Wlthycombe has
made one of the best war governors
in the United States and vote for
him. All the way through Governor
Wlthycombe has been American. He
never faltered when put to a test. He
has made good but, aa said before,
Coos Bay loyalty is strong for L. J.
Simpson and most people will, natur
ally nough, vote for him. However,
font throw your vote away on Olcott
If you don't vote for Simpson, don't
vote against the governor who has
made good.'
attempt to overcome their Ignorance
or give them any training for cltlien
ship. If the native born needs to know
how to read his ballot before voting,
why not the alien who came in here
after he had passed school age?
Why doea not the theory of com
pulsory education equally require
compulsory education to sorue extent
for the non-English speaking alien,
whether he haa passed beyond the
present school age or not?
HELP DAYLIGHT SAVING
STYLES IN THE SPY BUSINESS
Soaae of our complacent . people
hav come to fsel rather satisfied
about the situation on the German
epy menace. Not many munition
plants have been blown up lately
There has not been such an epidemic
of incendiary fires. It looked as if
the plotters had been rounded up by
ojstr vigilant secret service, and as il
the arrogant German hopes of hold
ing up our war activity are once more
beaten.
We were too sure. It is simply that
a new style of spying has been evolv
eS, and one far more dangerous. Ap
parently the potato warehouse burn
era and bomb plotters have been
called in. There is a bigger game for
tbem to play.
The up to the minute style of spy
ing la to work your wsy into a war
work factory, and create defects in
the product So now we hear that the
airplanes were delayed two months
by spies who cat out sections of
steel and substituted lead, so that the
frames of the planes would collapse
under strain. Also gas masks are
said to have been defective for sim
ilar causes.
All those forms of "Kultare" will
bnt make the American people one
degree madder, and more determined
tQ pat ther foot onthe Kaiser's n-Jck.
It was noted about simultaneously
wKJi these reports that a number of
pro-Germans had been tarred and
feathered and ducked in canals, etc.
That U refreshing, but merely incidental.
It Is time to get these spies. And
also to do something more than treat
tbem as honored guests in intern
ment camps.
Furthermore the war work plants
should ba raked with a fine tooth
comb to get disloyal people out. We
can't trust them a moment. We must
1)9 awre of all our war workers. We
have been to slow. We, the Ameri
cans who pride ourselves on our
alertness, have been strangely be
fooled by the supposedly phlegmatic
(irmaa. It is time to get busy and
Ctme down on this thing as if we
lueaat business.
In some places it Is reported that
the people are not merely setting
their clocks ahead to comply with ths
Daylight saving idea, but are moving
their customary hours ahead also.
Boarding houses that used to serve
breakfast at seven o'clock, are now
giving it at eight In so far as people
do that it will defeat the whole plan.
The purpose of the idea Is of course
to get people up in the morning an
hour earlier, so that they can quit
work an hour earlier, and have an
extra hour in the evening. We must
continue to work and aleep by the
clock, even though it is set ah. 'ad.
The benefits ot the plan should be
apparent The change should be par
tlcularly popular among -all who en
joy sport Now in the long days they
can have a nlna inning ball game
after supper. All kinds of athletics
ought to flourish as never before. The
young men who used to hang around
the streets of Oregon City after dark,
can now have a decent length ot time
to get out and practice all kinds of
games and exercises. After this type
ot fellows have seen what it means.
they will never be willing to go back
to the old hours of early darkness
again.
It should also be a great boost to
the garden work. Men who formerly
had no spare time outside work hours,
are now given a long evening that will
be amply sufficient to take care of a
small plot. And we will all see the
difference when we get our bills for
elsctrifcity, gas, or kerosene.
The whole thing depends upon un
animous co-operation. Stores, fac
tories, churches, and entertainments,
must stick by the clock on Its new
time. In a very short tima people
will forget about it and wonder they
didn't do it many years ago.
During the debate on the prepoaed
amendments to the espionage act
providing for the punishment ot par
sons guilty ot seditious talking or
writing, an unusual phase of the qnea
tton of freedom of speech and ot the
prM waa presented. Aa everyone
knows, the constitution provided that
for anything said by a member of
Congress In speech or debate In
either house, he shall not be called
In Qustlon In any other place. Thla
elves a member Immunity from prose
cution either criminally or civilly tor
any thing said on the floor. In ana
wr to questions asked by other Sena
tors. Senator Johnson, of California,
declared that In hia opinion members
ot that body wilt not stand upon the
senatorial -prlvllegea but will speak
Just as freely on the hustings as on
the floor. Said he, "Not only ought
we to preserve liberty ot speech to
members of the Congress ot the Unit
ed States, but liberty ot speech is
just aa dear and Just aa sacred to
those less fortunate beings who do
not constitute a part ot the Congress."
T3 California Senator thlnka free
dom of speech Just as Important out
side the Senate as in It but would
hold every person accountable for
the truthfulness and loyalty ot his
utterances.

CREDIT TO COUNTY
The Oregon Voter, with no Interest
in the division fight in Clackamas
county, and looking upon a man for
what he Is, has the following relative
to the candidacy of Representative
Stephens, ot Estacada:
"Harold C. Stephens of Estacada,
formerly of Umatilla County, la one
ot the live wire citizens ot Clackamas
County. He is a farmer and banker,
a man ot the aoll and a man of af
fairs. He Is one ot the leading mem
bers ot the last Legislature, quiet but
forceful a genuine constructive In
fluence. He Is a candidate for re-election
as representative from Clacka
mas County. He was a credit to the
county and to the state and it is to be
hoped ha will be re-elected."
The Washington Post, hitherto a
staunch supporter ot the administra
tion, rebukes the attempt made
through Mr. Wilson s "acid test" let
ter, to set up a loyalty test which is
partisan by nature, in Congressional
elections. It is worth noting that the
Post's rebuke was later, by several
days, than that administered by the
voters of Wisconsin.
MR. STANDISH AND ETHICS
Robert M. Standlsh, publisher of
the Estacada News, tells ot his con
ception of newspaper political ethics
in last week's issue. "Bob" is frank
ness personified. He says:
"WTjile it seems to be customary
newspaper ethics and probably good
Business methods for county news
papers to accept and give paid public
ity to political candidates, no matter
whether the publication favors or Is
against the candidacy of the office
seeker, the News cannot square it
with its own conscience, and conse
quently last week refused paid adver
tising from a certain candidate, who
In the last legislature aided in the de
feat of the Cascade movement.
"The News or its publisher may be
foolish, and probably many will agree
with this statement but we can't
conscientiously fight for our com
munlty's rights and at the same time
accept money, and sell our space for
the election ot a man whose record
shows him to have been against the
interests of this section.
"It may be customary to take
middle of the road" policy regarding
all candidates before the primaries
thereby profiting by a few dollars ad
vertising, but the News refuses to fol
low such a procedure and herewith
wants it distinctly understood that it
p;rsonally favors and is doing every
thing in its power for the election of
R. N. Stanfield for U. S. Senator-
Hon. James Wlthycombe for Gover
norGeorge C. Brownell for State
Senator H. C. Stephens, G. J. Taylor
and Chris Schuebel for State Repre
sentatives. And we don't care who
knows it."
SCHOOLING FOR ALIENS
The disproportion existing between
our educational facilities for children
and those for aliens, tends more and
more to impress thoughtful people.
The principle of compulsory school
education for children is practically
universal in this country. The United
States spent last year in Its common
schools for the education of its child
ren, the vast sum of $555,077,146. In
addition, the colleges and technical
schools received $107,530,226.
Out of these sums but an insigni
ficant fraction was spent for the edu
catioa ot aliens over school age,
Most of that education Is conducted
tn aight schools. There are probably
no statistics showing just what wsb
spent for that purpose. By judging by
tee very limited extent to which such
ecnoois are conducted, not more
Uaan a very few millions could have
been expended for Instruction of al
iens. And a large part of these schools
and classes are provided by voluntary
effore, not by taxation.
Yet there is in our country a vast
mass of aliens who need education
fust as much as our children. We
give it to all the children, because we
believe that If they grow up ignorant,
they can not perform intelligently the
duties of citizens in a democracy,
fet great masses of aliens are per
mitted to take part In the duties of
i community, without the aligfcUft

SALEM, 0r April 22. Governor
Wlthycombe said today that he would
not make a personal campaign for the
renomination, but would spend virtu
ally all of his time between now and
tha election at his office.
"Under present conditions," said the
governor, "I would not make a per
sonal campaign even It I had time. I
shall put in the time on state mat
ers pertaining to war and on other
state duties. My campaign will be a
very Inexpensive one. This is no time
'or large sums of money to be ex
pended in campaigning, for all the
money any person possibly can spare
should be used to help the government
win the war."
CITY ARGUES FOR
RIGHT TO SPEND ITS
The writ of review brought by the
city of Oregon City against the Clack
amas County court ln the suit for the
municipality's IHOOO ot road funds,
was argued Tuesday before Circuit
Jud?e Campbell by City Attorney Geo.
L. Story and Grant B. Dimlck. The
county was represented by District
Attorney Hedges, tup mutter was
taken under advisement by the court,
and the decision In the matter Is to
be given next Monday.
The city claims its rinht to spend
its road money as It sees fit, in con
fllct with the county's stand that the
1917 legislature distinctly provided
that the funds are to be appropriated
by the court for road purposes only
It was argued by the city's represen
tatlves, that the legislature would not
effect a legislative charter, such as
Oregon City has, which provides that
the money shall be paid over to the
city treasurer. The $14,000 amounts
to 70 per cent, of the entire tax, which
the law states is the sum to be ap
portioned the district
City work has stopped pending
decision in the ca . The case was
brought as a friendly suit between
city and county to see whether the
1917 statute should be applicable.

AT LOSS OF $68,080
SALEM, Or., April 22. The Willam
ette Valley Southern Railroad com
pany operated at a loss of $68,080.55
last year, according to the annual re
port which has been filed with the
state public service commission. The
ratio of the operating expense to the
operating revenue Is given as 103.995
per cent.
Entirely aside from the purely le
gal question whether papers publish
ed in the German language shall pub
lish a translation of their comments
In the same Issue, it is apparent that
as a matter of . wise policy, the Ger
man-language press should adopt the
English language as rapidly as pos
sible. While there are no statistics
on the subject, it is altogether prob
able that a very large proportion of
the subscribers to German papers can
read English, also. They read Ger
man more easily, no doubt, and many
of them would find It burdensome at
first to be compelled -to read their
news in English. But any man or wo
man who can read German and who
can speak English, can learn to read
English. ,
Whether compelled to print a trans
lation in Englinh or not, a German
paper should do bo to as large an ex
tent as possible, In order to aid Its
readers in acquiring a knowledge of
the language of this country. Every
loyal American paper published in
the German language should en
courage Its readers to study English.
Such a paper could render its readers
no more valuable service in return
for the subscriptions than to give
them each week a few columns of In
teresting reading matter printed in
tho language in most common use
umong their neighbors. ThUB, gradu
ally, the German language papers
could transform themselves Into Eng
lish language papers, and without los
ing their constituency. They would
render valuable service to their read
ers, to themselves, and to the country.
And In the meantime, they would
demonstrate their true loyalty.

Dear Mother and Father! '
Wall thla la a nice day and
thought It a flue tint to drop you a
tow lines to 1st you know that all
of the boys am well aa myself, war
flue and dandy, all lotting tat aim
have lota of pep.
Everything la going fine. We are
sura accomplishing a lot of work,
thla job la a very large one, much
larger than you might Imagine. Hut
we have the finest weather all the
time and are making great headway.
Tha climate Is I dual to work In, for
o get very tittle ruin. We have had
weather like you have lu May since
the New Year.
We have bud very little sickness
since we have been here, and Is get
ting lens as we got climated. Our M.
Da. are very careful with the sani
tary conditions.
We eat good and havo good hats
to live in, pleuty ot nothes andbluuk-
ets, ao you see we are very comfort-
able.
We have gotten acquainted with
most of tho people In this neighbor
hood. We are trying to learn lo talk,
but It comes slow for we learn a few
ords, then do not have a chance
to use them for a while and forget
thorn again.
These people live very queer, they
build houses, then build a barn and
hltkeu bouse on to It Their houses
are built In groups. Tludr houses are
made ot stone and most of them are
ullt for two or three families.
They cook lu fire places, not mauy
of thorn have stoves. Their fuel
mostly is In the trimmings from
grapes, which they cut and tie In
bundles and stack up to dry.
Mostly all they raise is grains for
Ine, whkh Is the most of their diet
All yo.i see Is grapes for miles around
ARE RECEIVED HERE
To save wheat and other grains for
the allies, Clackamas county farmers
will fatten their live stock this year
on pumpkins, potatoes, squash and
other vegetables. This was the plan
outlined Tuesday at an enthusiastic
meeting of the county Council of
Defense, attended by representatives
from each section of the county.
President Harvey Starkweather pre
sided and County Agriculturalist R.
W. Arens and others outlined plans
for constructive work to be under
taken In all sections of the county.
In addition to the livestock feed prob
lem,' the matter of drainage of thous
ands of acres of unused lowlands In
the county, was touched upon, and the
delegates were asked to urge all own
ers of such land to drain and tile 11
In an effort to make the unused acre
age productive.
DIMICK TALK3 AT MERIDIAN
Grant B. Dimlck addressed a large
assembly at Meridian Saturday, his
subject being Red Cross and War
Saving Stamps. The school building
was filled to capacity. Patriotic in
strumental music was rendered.
The Federal government realizes
that labor will be tho limiting factor
In the production of food this year
and that food will go a great ways
toward winning tho war. 8everal em
ergency acts have been passed, The
Federal Labor Bureau Is filling appll
cations for farm labor every day. Up
to date they have been able to fill
about 75 per cent of the applications
made for farm labor. So send a list
of your wants to your county agent
and he will probably be able to help
you out. Another emergency bill has
passed which will assure the harvest
ing of the crops. If it la very Import
ant and no other help can bo obtained
soldiers can be furloughed and will
help. The county agent has the nee
essary blanks to tell your troubles to
him.
Interchange of labor wilt go a long
way toward helping tbo labor prol:

planting different crops, etc.

This famous hoodoo number will

score card made In Oregon City today
is correct. Ralnh Williams, too, well
known renublican war horse, who
would be republican national com

fatal "13" which will appear, opposite
his name all over the State of Ore
gon. '
J. W. Morrow, democrat,' will also
be Identified with this numeral, but
no democrat will land the "23" for
the simple reason there are not
enough democratic aspirants to reach
that far down the list.
The Socialists of Clackamas county
have decided to hold a nominating
convention In this city June 15, at
which time nominations will be made
for the various county and district of
