THE OREGON-DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, MONDAYS JANUARY ;:12, 1S20L "J PALMER HEMS SPLENDID WORK OF GOVERNMENT Attorney General. Writer Portland , Jackson Club; Utter Comes ' too. lite for Party Banquet - A graphic review of the biff things done by the United States is given In a 'letter received Saturday from Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer by Elton Watklns, president' of the Jackson club. "Toe- letter ' was In tended to be read before the ban- quet held .by the Jackson club Thurs day In honor of Jackson day. but was delayed in thejnalls, Contending that the accomplishments of the Democratic party during the past seven years have been "the most mo- mentoue In the life of the American peo ple an in the history of Christian civil isation, Attorney General Palmer re views them as follows: ftOC7I REFORMS I5STITCTED "During this period we have strength ened our, government by sound internal .reforms. They were the reforms of a -peace-loving people, wishing; only the happiness and well-being of the world ; too confident that the same aspirations moved other peoples. Believing war a remote possibility, we dig not gird oar loins for war. We prepared for the advance of Christian civilization along the paths of peace. In the narrow mill tary sense, when war broke out we were not ready. But the war was fought not by armies, but by nations. Our line of defense stretched from the front line trench on the western front to the banks and warehouses in our cities, to the fac tories and mills In our country towns, and to the quiet farms in the valleys beyond the western horlion. "When the time came for the nation to ' arm, the young men went - to the camps and across the seas, while behind them, on every side, there were mobil ised the great supporting forces from capital and finance and Industry, from labor In mill and' factory, from the soil - on the farm and garden path. These were ready and they made an amy of a hundred million strong. They were ready because their country had pre pared, during the past six years, by the new system of taxation, the new system of finance, the new consideration for labor and the new eiupsort to the farm er. Tnese were the measures which marked the real preparedness of the na tion for the great war. Without them, the magnificent courage of two million men on the western front would have been but reckless stage play; disaster would have come to American arms and ruin to Christian civilisation. With them, the most powerful army that ever moved against foe -was quickly mobilised, the greatest blow ever delivered against a nation's enemy was struck with telling force, and the greatest victory in the world's history was achieved. WAi THE PEOPLE'S WAR "I do not put that victory in the proud list of Democratic achievements. Though fought under the leadership of the great est Democrat since Jefferson, and al though "Wltnout the support of his party in every crisis it- could .not have been brought to its successful and triumph ant conclusion, it waa the people's war in a peculiar sense. We . may give to Individual Americans the ' full measure of praise which a grateful republic will always shower upon the men who sprang to Its defense with unprecedented valor and unhesitating devotion to its Chris tian cause, but the Impartial historian must and will write It down as an in controvertible fact that the party In pow er rose with unstinted enthusiasm to tlie needs of the hour while its leadership translated the will and spirit of the American people into decisive and cour ageous action, without which Ignomlnous f allure would have been our portion in the Armageddon of the nations. Let his tory begin to tell the truth now and it will say that the common courage of our men and women,, the combined effort of capital and labor ,the Joint support of city and farm, all were welded Into an Irresistible force by a leadership never, surpassed In the history of parlia mentary government. "But past achievements do mot assure future victory. The question is not What of yesterday T- but Wbat of to morrow? Our troubles are not those Ills , which have been cured, but those frorii which we may suffer under new conditions. Therefore we must always be progressive. We may use the old cloth, but we must fashion It according to the new circumstances. J J AT BE HOLXOW TICTORT "The hard won victory of American arms will prove a hollow and unavail ing triumph if we do not make certain that out of it shall come a greater liberty, a better America and a surer peace. To these ends, the Democratic party pro poses to consecrate Itself, with the same devotion to the people's Interest, the sams regard for" the nation's place In the world and In history which have moved It to the great service which is to day our pride and our reward."

CITY PAYS EXPENSE OF DESPITE CONTRARY LAW Some Citizens Wrap Garbage in Neat I Packages and Throw Then Out for Sweepers. Almost any morning the earl stroller may f bid strange looking parcels, neatly tied, lying In the gutters,! on the park ings and even atop the mail boxes ad jacent to the apartment house districts of the west side. Particularly may one find them in the region centering about Eleventh and Clay streets, east to Broad way and 'north to Yamhill, with occa sional packages even as far north as Washington. I One might, think these had been dropped from a, laundry wagon or lost from other bundles carried by some pedestrian. i . But, no they contain the family gar bage from many a home. 1 Officials of the street cleaning depart ment find these packages jt constantly growing feature ot metropolitan, life. Some small families fail to see the economic advantage of paying a gar bage hauler so much a month for taking away the small accumulation of kitchen waste, when it. can so easily -be dis posed of by pater families on his way to work. Although' the city maintains no free garbage service. It is called upon eventually to do the same work in a moainea scaie. If one should trouble to kick epen one of these bundles, he would find potato peelings, tin cans, celery tops, pickle bottles, meat scraps, bones and all man ner of other refuse. "We must draw the line somewhere on needless expenditure," remarked one small householder, who was seen drop ping a bundle of garbage Into a'manhole recently. "I can get away with the garbage this way and we have no gar bage can. We can use the 6 bits or 11 a month just as well as the garbage man. So why notr - Pne suggestion has been, made that the city install baskets or boxes at con venient corners wherein these bundles may be dropped... Inasmuch as no way appears feasible to stop the practice any way, the suggestion came as a means of recognizing the popular tendency. Corvallis Woman Dead Corvallis, Jan. 12. Mrs. B. E.

There is really no reason why men or women with thin, watery blood and consequent poor health should remain in that unfortunate condition. Thin, nervous, run-down, tired people never get much happiness out of life. Men and women with the bloom of health in their cheeks, a cheerful, sunny disposition and an attractive personal ity are the folks who get most of life's enjoyment, pleasure and success. Uude's Pepto-Mangan furnishes thin water blood with the necessary nour Ishment to enrich it. enabling it to sup ply energy, vitality and strength to every part of the body. Physicians recommend Gude'a Pepto Mangan to patients suffering from anemia because its beneficial, and last ing qualities are well known to the medica profession. Gude's Pepto-Mangan is obtainable in either liquid or tablet form. Both forms contain exactly the same strength and medicinal properties. When you buy Pepto-Mangan of your druggist, be sure the name "Gude's" is on the package. Without "Gude's It Is not Pepto-Mangan. Adv.

Claiming that - "Piute forestry," or. the light burning of timberlahds at frequent Intervals, has reduced approximately 2,800,000 acres of "re serve timber and large stands of private timber in Oregon and Cali fornia to brush patches, government and state forestry official have an nounced their unalterable opposition to such methods. A recent wave of propaganda in favor of the "Piute forest," started by the land department of the Southern Pacific com pany and many large timber companies, has been the cause of an open declara tion of war against annual light burning. Colonel Harry 8. Graves, head of the forest service. - has taken the lead In fighting the Piute advocates. He says that it is impossible to fire the pine woods on any considerable scale with out destroying "small growth and eating out the butts of old trees.

' - - "Advocates - of light burning,";-' says Colonel Graves, "claim that by, burning the woods every few fears forests will be kept - clear of Inflamable material without injuring Uie merchantable Um ber." . , - a.-.- Local forest officials say that some people in Southern Oregon, west of the Cascades, are In favor of - the ; Flute method because it exposes minerals to view. They say that light fires eat out the butt of strong tree, causing them to fall and allowing -the light to penetrate through Co nourish new undergrowth. "Bach fire kills all the young seed lings,' says T.T. Monger of the Oregon forest service department, "and the suc ceeding fires weaken the older trees until ultimately nothing is left but a brush patch. "In the Siskiyou National forest alone there are 417,000 acres of brush land that would be producing good timber but for repeated light fires. "We have found in Oregon various Individuals and classes who favor light burning as a means of saving forests from disastrous conflagrations. Settlers In the cattle business believe that light burning improves the feed, but the con trary has been proved to be true. "Stuart Edward White, noted writer of the outdoors, favors Piute burning, claiming that it is a destroyer of in sects through the burning of dead and fallen timber. "In Oregon we have on national for est reserve land 67S.885 acres "xrf timber that has been destroyed by no other method than the Piute system of fire prevention. Including private lands In the same condition the state has well over 1.000.000 acres of brush lands, made so by light burning." Graves 'says that the California for est reserve timberland that has been reduced to brush land amounts to nearly 2,000,000 acres, and that this condition is entirely due to a system of timber "mining" that has no regard for any thing but the standing merchantable timber of today.
