POLITICS OR HUN? UESTIONS of far deeper mo ment than the -ambitions of any candidate for office are commanding the attention and thought of the great mass of the people." In these splendid words, former Governor West accurately interprets the meaning of the light vote in the late primaries. In a public statement that in noble phrasing and. sentiment is a political landmark, he suggests that the campaign for the senator- ship be without headquarters, with out political managers, without use of money and without the usual speech-maktng and advertising. By such a plan, he says, Senator McN'ary "would be free to devote his entire time to his senatorial duties," and Mr. West "be free to engage In some war activity." "We both would," he says, thus be rendering the best pos sible service to our country." This plan will appeal powerfully in this war time, to nine tenths of the people. Mothers and fathers whose sons are precious liberty loans made to the army and navy for the period of the war, are in no mood for political meetings and partisan cam paigns. Those who are giving every ounce of their strength and unstint edly of their time can feel little patience with persons spending time money and energy so badly needed in war work, on a political campaign. Casualty lists are merely .in their beginnings. We are not yet in the real period of our mourning. The campaigns that politicians demand have nothing in common with the casualty lists over which loved ones at home are filled with hourly ap prehension. Governor West is free to begin a campaign now. so far as public dufjs are concerned. Senator McNary Is not. Governor West voluntarily offers to forego this advantage and let the people decide the issue un molested and undisturbed. The people are not thinking of politics. They are thinking of the war,, of how to, win the war, of how to shorten the war; thinking of those who are offering the last full meas ure of their devotion to end the war right, and they will overwhelm ingly approve the course proposed by the former governor. The West statement is reprinted from The Sunday Journal on this page. to .vote, as many times as possible, with bank notes, asarge as possible. Shall' we. say "fleet" of seaplanes? Or shall it be "school or shoal" or "flock," or what? Be their col lective name what It may, a bunch of them is soon to cross the broad Atlantic with their own wings and paddles. The submarines can not get them because they can -rise Into the air and soar away. The sooner the government builds a moving bridge of seaplanes between the United States and France the better the peo ple wiU be pleased. Who cares for the expense? We are In this war to win, if it lakes our last dollar. In the Ukraine the old Russian spirit seems to be waking. A century ago ttje Russians burned Moscow rather than submit to Napoleon. Now the Ukrainians are burning their villages and stores of food rather than see tii e Prussian tyrant get them. As the heel of tbe oppressor grinds their faces the revolutionists will wish more and more. that the,y had not . been quite so fast to dismiss their army. They are learning In the bitter school of experience the difference between the war lords and those western "imperialists" of whom they were 60 terribly afraid and when Trotsky was In full bloom. OLD YAMHILL Y is AMHILL county in the war traditionally Yamhill. Yamhill against the world is the old slogan. The whole county Is Red Crossing now, and Red Cross ing right up to the Yamhill model. W. B. Dennis of Carlton is the Red Cross county chairman. There are directing chairmen in every commu nity with captains and team workers with districts properly divided up. Speakers are working all over the county, and the drive is life sized There was a rally Sunday afternoon at Newberg, and another at WUIa mina Sunday evening. The county chairman, community chairmen, cap tains and teams were all present. At the Newberg meeting there were people from Dundee and from all the country around. The automobile is the making of community meetings It has obliterated distance and wiped out time. Almost every other farmer has one out in Yamhill, where the soil of Mother Earth is faithful always to t its owner. - Newberg, the home of Pacifio col lege and one of the most orderly communities in Oregon, has, with its outlying districts, sent 138 young men into the army and navy.

The instructor gave him time enough to get to the dentist's office and back and sent him on his wsy. When Jackson reached tbe dentist's office he found the dentist was busy.

Jackson decided to take matters Into his own hand a A pair of forceps was within reach and be fore he could be stopped, the aching tooth was pulled and the boy had started back to school. Might Dig Potatoes The conversation In the lobby of a Washington hotel turned to the disincli nation of the tramp to work, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, when Congress man William H. Carter of Massachusetts recalled an anecdote along that line. , Ijist -summer a New England farmer was urgently in need of help. and. see ing a tramp coming down the road, he went out and stopped him. "I want a man for a day or two." said the farmer to the hobo. "Howj would you like to have a Job?" "I don't know." was the hesitating re joinder of the tramp. "What kind ef a Job is ur "Not a very hard one." replied the farmer encouragingly. "I want some body to help me dig potatoes."

Ernesto Palandri, Italian born but American by adoption, has a letter on this page. The struggles of Italy, the obstacles she has overcome, the loyalty and devotion of Italians in America are high example of sacri fice by the Italian race in this war.

It says: It Is self evident that after what Is now happening we can no longer con clude peace on the terms which we were ready to accept a week ago. The enemy must be brought to a submissive spirit and forced to grant everything , mat we neea in the world of the t future, and not lesst lh the domain of colonies and the supply of raw mate rials. This war was begun to make other peoples "submissive" and to force other peoples to aive uo to the ifohenzollern dynasty "everything we need in the world of the future, and not least .in the domain of colonies and the supply of raw materials." . A German statesman, writing before - the' present war, declared : We must see to ft that the outcome .. of t our next successful war is the acquisition of colonies. The first attack Germany made in tins war was on France. A great Prussian army" was mobilized on the Luxemburg frontier two months be fore the .first shot In the war was fired. The kaiser declared that the troops were being sent there during the Pentecoastal holiday for a "breath of fresh air." i - That was a lie.l They were mobil lzed there these two . months ..

Late ln the afternoon, by the time the visitors had become accustomed to see ing men of only the one type of bearing, the lieutenant happened to remark that one of the most Impressive sights he had seen at camp was a meeting on the road of a regiment of trained men coming one way and a group pf "casuals" going In the opposite direction. The men who had been in service some months were marching back to camp. Just as the group of newoomers was being taken out for its first practice march. For the merriment of the company the lieuten ant imitated the slouches and slumps of the new fellows. Then the ladles marveled at their own sudden change In viewpoint ; for It was but five hours before that the "uasual" was the man to whom they were accus tomed ; he was the usual, and beside him a man of different type would have looked strange. They had, set them selves a new standard. Lack of standard Is evidently largely Trimmed down to brawn and bone. For name don't roant In tbe khaki rank! And nobody rrade "Who Who."

MRS. SARAH L. MIZEN. For a Post-War Rose Festival Portland. May 11. To the Editor of The Journal 1 was surprised when I read the letter from "Reader," wanting the Rose FesUval to be held this year. Just wait till our boys come marching triumphantly home, as we all know they will; then we shall all have great cause for rejoicing. Would that not be a much better, more fitting, time to hold our annual festival than now? We must not forget our country is at war. and we must ons and all do everything in our power to win ; for win we must. Senator Kenyon told us when ha was here that we would have to sacrifice. Some of vs do not know the meaning of tha word yet. Tnesa are senous times. Let us ail nave patience an wait, for Uncle Sam is bound to win. 1 R08E A. HAWKES. Dog, Mole and Garden Hood River. Or..
