The peace that follows pain; The touch of little children's hands. k And sweet affection's subtle bands; The blue sky up above; The tender thrill of woman's love; The sacrifices that are part And parcel of & mother's heart; The sood, the beautiful, the true, The melody that stirs anew Strangle yearning;- after nobler things; The simple sons; the robin sings. The dew upon the garden rose; The flower that by the wayside grows To claim a homeless urchin's smile All these are things worth while- Xell DeWitt Rowell. 'president cturing peace and dur ing wartime has justified the 'characterization then made. JHe has been efficient, never a swashbuckler, never a hair jtrigger executive, never afraid uj siriKe wnen ciear juugmeni told him the time was at hand. In war he has sought results, not self glory. Some of the strongest things he has done have never been published be cause he forbade and they would have been interesting reading and good advertising for the president. The nation is heavily in debted to Woodrow Wilson for the great progress made in war operations. He can be relied upon to handle duties and dif ficulties as they arise. An ef ficient executive, he does not neglect big things by wasting time on non essentials. With Wilson in the White House the country need not fear that in efficiency will prevail very long iri any branch of the work. It will come up to stand ard or there will be a change in personnel. We have had this already in ship building and' iri airplane production. Similar changes will come at other points when necessity calls for it. The president's record justifies this confidence. The United States is striking ly fortunate in 'having during this time of great events a man of real executive ability in the White House. THE REASON FOR SUGAR j ECONOMY 3 A PREDICTION OF 1912 FUL FILLED BN 1912 the East Oregonian supporting Woodrow Wil son for the presidency made with reference to .his ability a forecast that has been strikingly fulfilled. The coun try was then beset by economic problems which constituted the issues of the presidential cam paign. President Taft, a nomi nee f or relection, had been slow and seemingly incapable of de cisive action at critical times. Col. Roosevelt, the other can didate aside from Wilson was acting in characteristic fashion. The East Oregonian said the question before the people per- " tamed to which 01 the three men should be chosen to diag nose the country's ills and give the reformatory treatment Taft, who lacked in keen an alysis and decisive action: Roosevelt the limelight per-;tionf a considerable area of former, or Wilson,, the skillful ;sugar-producing lands in Eu urgeon who had the brains to 'rope. Jcnow what was wrong plus the j Prior to the war practically ability and the nerve to act all the belligerent countries, When action was necessary. ,with the exception of the Unit- The record of Wilson as a;ed Kingdom and Italy, export- F any man has failed to see the reason why he should cut his apportionment of two spoonfuls of sugar to the one of war time, he can find it in a recent publication of the United States Department of Agriculture explaining; the world-wide shortage especi ally the shortage among the allies in the supply of sweets, Not only has the supply of sugar in some parts of the Uni ted States been short, but there has been an actual shortage of more than 2,000,000 tons annu ally in the world since the war begai, and the shortage is like ly to continue, tne publication says, primarily because oi tne destruction of a large number of sugar mills and the devasta- sources were shut off by the war. The United Kingdom alone thus lost the source of more than half of her normal supply of sugar and has turned to new as well as other old sources for her supply. The changes thus brought about have been largely a diversion of the product of Mauritius to the United Kingdom instead of to India, and an expansion of the imports .of unrefined sugar from Cuba, the Philippines and Peru. For refined sugar she draws upon the United States and Java. However, the allies can not turn to such exporting countries as Java and Mauritius without being forced to go a much longer distance and over a more perilous route than across the Atlantic. If the al lies are compelled to go to these countries it will require an ex tra amount of shipping which is needed for transportation of American soldiers and sup plies to England and France. "It's a long way to Califor nia" will require a new version should that state go into the dry column as a war measure. Hindenburg started in to win the game during April and so far he has not even gotten a man to first base. A thousand vessels are load ed for France every six days from our Atlantic coast; it shows how we dread the U boats. Decoration day will take on new interest this year; put a wreath for Dell Blancett. Some day the lid will come off in Mitteleurope. 1 28 YEARS AGO &. (From the East Oregonian, May 8. 1890.) "Uncle" George Webb, renominated for state treasurer, tian been an hon est and faithful officer and he will carry an Immense strength in eastern Oregon. The Alert Hone Company met last evening and ratified nominations for departent officers maded by the Hook an4 Ladders. J. B. Eddy and E. J. Sommervllle left today for Pilot Rock. Chas. Rohrman, the Court .street baker. Is singularly unfortunate In the matter of runaways. His horse this morning near J. O. Arnold's residence got up a little seance for the edifica tion of spectators. He turned the cor ner suddenly, overturning the wagon and then lit out up the railroad track like a young cyclone. Fred T. Brooks has resigned his po sition as superintendent of the electric light company. Twelve men are employed in build ing the O- & W. T- freight depot which Is nearly completed. . Y1 x :, V A vMlffi.

Arrow shows direction of ex pected American drive. - There are men in 'the American war department who hope to see American troops some day drive eastward from Verdun Into that portion of Lorraine now held by. the enemy. They believe that at one stroke this would of itself almost end the war. The reason Is: IIVOX' ORE SUP PLY. When the Germans took part of old Lorraine from the French In 1870 they took some of the finest Iron ore beds In the world. They left to the French the ore in Longwuy and Brley, and neutral Luxemburg had the rest. A few days after the pres ent war was declared, Hun troops marched Into French Lorraine and Luxemburg, getting possession of all this Iron. A drive 35 miles eastward from Ver. dun would rob the Germans of three- fourths of their visible iron supply. That would ruin them. WHY PAY EXORBITANT PRICES FOR FT AND PINE CORDWOOD?
