GOOD ROADS AND THE WAR
Thinks He Has Given State a
Good Administration Four Yca,
Governor Wilhyeoinhe aniiouiic s
bis platform to succeed himself
as the chief executive of the
stale. As he is a Washington
County man the Argus huhls t'li.il
it is its duty ami the governor's
ilue thai his announcement ht
piihlishcd, ami here it is:
"If the people of Oregon are
of the opinion that I have servi d
them f.iilhf ully, I should he
pleasetl to receive a Vote of con
fidence at theii- hands.
The Governor of the state h is
the car of the people. It is there
fore in his power to assist in ci-' -nting
mid maintaining a healthy
public sentiment on the many
lHMIi'M'l ilin
subjects which make for cou
munity welfare. I have been
mindful of this fact, have min
gled with the people ami have
one all in my jmwer to pronnite
the development of the state, to
bring about the construction of
gootl roads, to emphasize the im
portance of education ami espec
ially t maintain at white heat
the devotion of the people to the
great cause of liberty and dem
ocracy for which the count rv is
ligting. If re-ch cted I shall con
tinue to do everything 1 can to
aecoinphslt tlie.se cmls.
Oregon has given twenty tho i-
aml ot tier sons to tne great
world war. liiese men are tne
llower of or.r young manhood,
anil we have no clearer duty th. n
that of lovallv siipporlin:,' ihei.i.
providing for their health and
omfort and safeguarilni; their
morals, i snail continue to ren-
r them every service in my
power.
I'tider our form of government
the conduct of a foreign war iie-
olvcs on the President of the
I niteil Mates, who is the com
mander-in-chief of the Army
and Navy. 1 shall do everything
in my power lo assist the Prei
lent in makiiijr the power ot tins
country eiiccuve in inc great
world conflict. I shall particu
arlv exercise every power am
authoritv which I possess to pro
mote a maximum ellieiencv in
local industries which are rtiat
to the war activities. Xo other
duty is so pressing or at this time
so important as thai of winning
Ihc war. Xo sacrifice is too great
if it looks to the triumph of the
forces battling for international
righteousness.
I shall stand 111 the future, as
in the past, for rigid law enforce
incut and for a cleaner and great
cr Oregon.
Oregon is firmly committed to
the principles of prohibition am
cnual sullra"C, anil, while they
arc no longer issues in this stnt
I sha continue to inve these
causes my full support.
Kvery legitimate phase of state
development should be support
etl. but at this time when our
country is engaged in the mo
terrible war in the world's his
tory, the most rigid economy i
state expenditure should be ol
served.
We have state problems of
irrcat matrnitude to be worked
out for the increase of ilesir.i
Me population; for the encour
agement of manufacturing en
terprises; for the enlargement of
(locks and herds of the best
breeds; for the eradication of
fruit pests ami other destructive
nireiicies in orchard anil farm;
for the general encouragement
of productiveness in all lines of
endeavor; for the careful, intel

CORP. BOLTON WRITES
Corporal W. ('. Bolton, with the
18th r.niiinccis 111 1 ranee, rcceii!-
wrote bis mother Mrs. . P..
Bolton:
"Last week 1 took quite a tri;.
visiting a town 70 or SO nuh s
from here, with 100.000 inhabi
tants. A part ot the city was
unit oil a circular 11111, ouu n.
.1. 1 1-11
bill, 500 feet
in elevation. The crest of fh
hill was the site of an aneien
fortified citv. It was protected
bv massive ramparts, 700 yards
in width. This rampart has bet 11
transformed to a boulevard, n ml
the view from it is delightfv
There arc six military hospitals
here, all Preneh. 1 went throtmh
one and distrthufed cigarett
and tobacco. An American w
quite a novelty in the place.
I found prices moderate, hav-
msr a nice room ana nrenRiast tor
$1.40 American this is the best
hotel in the citv, and a nice one
at that.
An American has charge of
large tannery for the Ireii'ii
government, and I had a card for
him. There is also a cathedral
which is noted for its chimes
and it was a pleasant thing to be
awakeneii by them Sunday morn
ing. I surelv did enjoy them
Had breakfast early and went
out to the markets the peoph
were out in force to obtain thei
daily small amounts of meat and
produce, the hours being from
to 12.
The next town 1 visited was
about 25.000 in population. I
took supper here nt a small pen
sion, and it was a hue me
Chicken dinner and excellent
wine. Here I met some French
officers who lived at the house
They were nice chaps, and quite
inquisitive about America and
Americans. I received several
urgent invitations to return here
as a guest, nnd it was by far tin
most pleasant day I have spent
in France. Photographic sup
plies are scarce as "hens teeth
here, and I wish you would send
me .
The weather is fine here now
guess Spring work will soon
start back home. Taps will soon
sound, so must close.
