Entered at the Postotflce in Salem, ANOTHER HOWL FOR A Democratic journalistic baiter of Governor Withyeomhe in dulges in another howl about the flax industry at the State Peni tentiary, and wants the State .Grange to investigate it. That would be all right. . They would find it a going concern; malting a profit, and putting this foundation industry on its feet, as was intended. This howler predicts great things for the flax industry, ( only there can be shown a sure ample supply of the raw material. Well and good. A true prophet. The flax manufacturing industry is bound to be the biggest in all Oregon. The natural conditions are here. : And Governor Withycombe started the foundation industry that is showing the possibilities; even as the baiter and howler professes to wish. ' So, what is all the howling about? Just for the sheer love of howling? - , . Mr. Spence, master of the State Grange, sent a committee to The Statesman yesterday,, to find out by what authority was pub lished in the news columns of this paper yesterday some alleged statements of brother Grangers who were opposing him for re-elec. tion; or at least such a committee came. The authority was brother Grangers. Now, The Statesman manager has no personal acquain, tance with Mr. Spence. Therefore, there could be no prejudice. Neither has the writer any particular interest in the differences, between Mr. Spence and some of his brother Grangers, excepting as any citizen of this state should have. The office of master of the State Grange is a public offiee, ex officio, and there is naturally and rightfully some news interest in the internal politics of the State Grange. - That was the view of the reporter covering that assign, ment. That is all. One of the members of the committee that came to The Statesman office said some. of the statements concerning Mr. Spence not giving an account of his expenses, etc., etc., were un. truthful. The Statesman reporter did not vouch for their truthful nesa. He merely said that the statements were being made by those who were opposing the re-election of Mr. Spence. Coleridge, the poet, once wrote that there is "nimiety in all Germans.'! What' is "nimiety?' It -is excess redundancy ; too muchness. 'Coleridge exercised his poetic license m attributing this quality to jail Germans. But it does apply to the military autocracy of that country, and it has gone to their heads. Hope' sick. deferred- raaketh 'the Hun "Hold the line. Foch, Uncle Sam Is comlng.4--Exchange. He came and helped hold the Una. Some one remarks that it Is now permitted for Uncle Sam to puff out his war chest." The sultan of Turkey Is crying for peace, but nobody is paying any at tentlon to him. Doth the kaiser and. himself have started something they cannot either finish. or stop. ' If we can hold, ourselves . awhile we shall soon know all about how the war Is coming out and when it will endv The graduating essay will soon be In the land. Exchange. The -long chat" which Mr. Taft and CoU Roosevelt had in Chicago Is symptomatic of the times in which J old differences are forgotten and all, .hands are being struck for the work which war time lays upon the coun ' try. . . , It has always been, a source of surprise that the newspapers pub lish no more lies than they do, see ing that they come into dafly con tact with so many prevaricators.

LOVE OF HOWLING Indorsed by a convention of Zionists at Philadelphia, It is Interesting tc note that the single tax Is the mod ern version of a phase oi isms old Hebrew Jubilee, the Jewish custom of a redlvlsion of their lands every half century, to provide for the new landless generations. With the de velopment of modern urban life, the land question becomes more acute. Land values In dense centers of pop ulation mount into fabulous sums; the land values of New York city alone are estimated at from five to seven billions of dollars, irrespective of improvements, somewhat about one-fifteenth the total for the entire nation. The contention of single tax advocates Is that these site values are the product 'of . population not due to any service rendered by indi viduals In their capacity as land ajaro era in other words, that aite value are community values and should be taken by the community In lieu of taxes upon industry, leaving to the Individual the values created by the individual. Take away the popula tion of the rest of America, they say. and New York, land lvalues would shrink to little Or nothing. The Zion lets are evidently not to be caught some time with a New York situation in Palestine. i ALL TO THE ALLIES. Of the 14.600.600 barrels of wheat flour exported during the nine months ended March 31, 118. 2.- 550.000. or 17 per cent, went to the countries either neutral or not ac tively engaged in the war. Cuba got 508.000 barrels, Mefico 3(3.000 "other Europe' 503.000. "other West Indies" 283.000. It ought all to go to the allies as long as the American public Is called upon to forego its use in order to help the war along. Exchange. That is easy to say. And it is a natural feeling. But there are some circumstances in eonnetcion with the neutrals that we who are not in the listening posts of authority may not fully under stand. Take Switzerland, for instance a country that wants to remain neu tral, hut which finds It a hard task being neighbor to the great Interna tional bully. Germany. Take Holland. But enough. Let's discus these matters after the war is over, when we will have a better perspective. FOB MKMOKIAL DAY. (By Clinton Scollsrd or The Vigilantes). , Burn fires, i, Upon your hallowed altars! j And. winds, attune from all your pa triot psalters Words fitting for our choirs! Today there should be singing, . Not only for the dead. And their upyielded lives or sacrifice. But also for the living iu whom lies The self-same spirit as was theirs who bled In such unselfish wise "T Wherever qur brave battle-flag was flinging Its folds unto the skies' And. too, there should te flowers Flcwers for their feet and flowers for their brows. Those who have taken vows To gusrd the shrine or Freedom over seas. Theirs the dark hours. Theirs the stark agonies; Theirs, it may be. To shed their precious blood for Liberty. So while we hall those gone with high thanksgiving. Let us acclaim the living! TO HAV E MANY- OFFICERS OF HIGH RANK. Before the end or the present year the, -United States Army Register will contain. In all probability, the names or more officers or high rank than ever before In the history or the nation's military service. There Is likely to be a list or generala, lieutenant-generals, major-generals and brigadiers that will tax the powers of memory of any who attempt to keep tab on the namea and ranks of the high officers Who are leading our armies against the enemy or di recting military affairs on this aide. Already we have two officers of the full grade of a general, a tltla (hat has not been borne by any offic er of the United States army in thirty years, until revived soon after the commencement or the present war and bestowed upon John: J. Pershing. the commander or the. American forces In France, and Tasker H. Bliss, chief of the general ataff, and now American representative In the Versailles conference. To these two has now been added a third, general in the person of Peyton C.' March. who succeeds General-Bliss as chltf or the general stair. There are now no lieutenant-gen- srals in the active army or the United States, but as soon as General Per shing recommends the formation of American army corps abroad it will be necessary to promote certain ma jor-generals to the rank of lieuten ant-generals to take command or these corps. There has been no Keu-tenant-general on the active list sine? LleiTtenant-General John C. Bates re tired in 1906, though there are throe officers of that grade now on the retired list General Nelson A. Miles, General S. B. M. Young and General Bates. The revival of the grades of gen eral and lieutenant-general recalls the fact that, from the beginning of ita history, the United States has been chary of the bestowal of high ma li tary , 'honors. The nation has never before, in like circumstances, conferred such honors as those now held by General Pershing) General Bliss and General March. During the American . revolution the Continental congress made no attempt to grade the commanding officers. It simply accepted as their titles those oonferred by the differ ent states. George Washington was designated commander-in-chief of the Continental armies. Not until 1798, when our differences with France threatened to lead us into war, was the title or lieutenant-gen eral created and conferred upon him. The following year a law was enact ed which declared that "a command. er of the army or the United States shall be appointed and commissioned by the style of 'General of the Arm ies of the ' United States.' " This abolished the office and title or lieu tenant-general and gave Washington the higher rank. After Washington, there was a de cided reaction rroni militarism. The act of March 16, 1802. made pro vision only for a single general or fleer of the army, and that one a brigadier-general. During the second war with Great Britain numerous general officers were necessarily ap pointed, but none was made to rank above a major-general. An aet of congress In 1821 pro vided for one major-general and two brigadier-generals. There was little change from this until the Mexican war. when the president was author lied to add one major-general, Zach ary Taylor, to the single Incumbent of that rank. Major-General Win field Scott. In 1855 General Scott was raade lieutenant-general by brevet In recognition of his services in the war with Mexico. The Civil war naturally resulted in the making of many general of ricerf. Near the close or the war the grade of lieutenant-general, nev er before eongf erred upon any Amer lean officer save -Washington, wis voted to General Grant. Two years later, when the nation had settled down to peace. Grant' was gitfcn the full title of general. This rank he4 held until he became president, when the tile passed to General William T. Sherman. The title passed to Cea eral Sheridan on June 1, 188. and on August 5 of the same year it went out or existence. Lieutenant-generalships continued longer, and niajor geperaiehlps, with a shoTt Intermis sion have continued down to the present day. OSL.V A VOUSTEKR. It muni have ben great tv t drafted.
