Entered at the Postoffice in Salem, THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS ARE NOT COMPLAINING Speaking generally, the soldiers anil sailors arc sticking to their gum, going about their work, ami saying nothing. Some of the camps are without an adequate supply of overcoats. ! Newspapers ore spread over thousands of hunks nightly an a sub stitute for blankets. Jlecruits are being drilled with woolen rifles. AH that and much else i-trne. j Jlut what of it? ' Jt is .deplorable, but it is the best that can be expected of a nstuin ihat h vtcricII v refuseil to rrerare for war and so was push ed headlong intoitfy L V Congress is yowling over the lack of overcoats, the lack of blankets,' the lack of rifles, the lack of this and that. Congress for years and years has trimmed the bills for military appropriations to fatten thcpork barrel. ; ? . Speaking generally, again, the soldiers and sailors are not com plaining! .They may be suffering fromcold, but they are fighting fighting bravely though it be only on parade grounds 10,000 miles front a German trench. What they are bearing and. the way they are Waring it all now is an earnest of what they will do when they face the enemy. ' ' ' . I ' J . . It is too much to expect, no matter how .mueh it may be wished for, that entire harmony will prevail in anj government in a crisis. AH the Presidents of the United Stateg in their hours of trial have been pestered and attacked ; all the departments have been criticised and impugned . Witness 'Washington. Witness Lincoln. Witness McKinler. ! ;) I ' ' It is un-American to deny criticism. - - j , This is the land of free speech. H V ? v ' j Hut it is annoying to listen to pork-barrel Congressmen eriti ctsing'othere for a lack of expediency andeffectiveness.! V' The young men who have gone into the service have sacrificed business friends, careers and JthrbwnJ their lives into the balance. Theirs is a' grim sacrifice; and they are not complaining. Hut cer tain Congressmen, who have sacrificed nothing, cavort on the floor, of the House and of the Senate, their voices ringing iu sobbing echoes to' the Capitol dome in recital of; incompetency in the government. Too many Congressmen are gallery players. They criticise because they enjoy it and because it attracts attention to themselves.. "Our government has made mistakes and will probably make more before the work is finished. I ' , The parents and friends of the soldier boys are likely enough, and properly, flushed with anger when they read how their boys in the camps have been furnished with hummer underwear, and how sentries change overcoats when they change guard because there are not enough to go around. j . But the yiwping of some of the Congressmen and Senators whose OWIl .records in the wai nrnnriif irma 'am riiiMtiniiiMi r;...i response in the hearts of America. r- The country is at war. The soldierly bearing ought to be ob served even in the Senate and House The infernal obstruction in passing needful legislation, to which these ranting criticisms is the preludev is more to be feared than any lack of administrative ability on the executive side. , 1 ' A neighbor proposes to keep pork leas day by eating sausage.

The belief is founded on the apocryphal account which tells of the biding of the ark by (the children of Israel with tha instruction by Jeremiah to leave it there until the Jews should come again to Jerusalem. There, is no more interesting; his tory in the world than that of the early Jews, and It would be indeed a revelation and th fulfillment of prophecy if the ark were di .covered jus't nt Ibis tluie when a movement if oil foot to-ewiablb-h'the Jews on-e more in I heir old home In Palestine.

Mr. McKinley had occupied the presidential halr less than a year vlu-n the war cloud loomed on the horizon. The treatment of the Cu ban patriots then rtiFKl'nK for free dom bad aroused the sympathies of the people of the lrnitl States. Th? merlean minister at Madrid male a demand for more humane treat ment, tint the demand was disre garded. The dtruction -of the Maine in Havana Harbor, Feb.. 1", rtsultlnK in the dtath of 264 offi cers and men of the United States navy brought affairs to a crisis. From that time until the conclusion of peace many months later, event moved rapidly, and through the whole course of that hlstory-mak-inx epoch Mr. McKinley acted 'with a dlr.play of decision, firmness and sound judgment that gave additional lttMre to his name. On Mar-h 23, lS'JS. the president sent his ultimatum to Spain respect ing the treatment of the Cubans, and five days later he officially reported to Consrefts tbe destruction of th3 battleship Maine. In his next offi cial communication he openly advo cated intervention lq Cuba. On April 13 Congress gave the President full authority tc act In the natter, of the difficulties with Spain, and three days later passed a resolution acknowledging- Cuban in dependence. ,AVithiu a week after. tb congres sional resolution acknowledging Cu ban independence and before any formal declaration of war. had been made. President McKinley issued a call for 125,000 volunteers. On April 25 the President recommended a fornial declaration of war and issu ed a call for 7S.000 mere volunteers. SWALLOW IT, 8KXATOI6 v - .

Fulton which occurred' early Sunday after noon in Portlaad, Oregon loses onr of her lea ling public men. and one of her most useful citizens. He wa prominent for forty years in the Re nblicaa politics of Oregon, and po litical campaigns -will seem strange without the dominating and virile figure of "Charley" Fulton. In tb Oregon legislature, in the United States senate, wherever Mr. Fulton was found, he was always an out standing representative of his people He was a good friend, a good neigh bor, a good husband and father, a loyal and true citizen. Mr. Fulton was only 65 years of age. and, in the natural course of events, ought o have had still a good many years of usefulness and of retirement from his always . strenuous labors. The passing of, this stalwart man will te a' distinct shock to friends all over Oregon, and he will be sorely missed and blncerely mourned.
