AND TEAMWORK COUNTS (Vfffp HE enactment of the man- iL power bill is one more instance of the value of team work between the White House and congress As should be congress adopts the measure in the form the administration desires. The same story pre vailed with reference to the original draft law, ajid most other great war legislative measures. Having a congress of his own political faith Presi dent Wilson has been able to enforce his ' leadership. The administration forces are in control of the democra tic cau cus, they have a firm hold on most of the important commit tees. As a result the nation had the benefit of cohesion and harmony. This despite minor revolts and criticisms. One reason why the United States has been able to make such speedy and tremenduous progress in war waging lies in the fact that the President and congress being of the same po litical faith have worked with the maximum of harmony. An opposition house or senate would have been regrettable , and might have worked disa ter, this regardless of how loy al and earnest individual mem hora miirht have been, con age? Having this thought in view the writer propounded the question yesterday to a man who may be fairly classed by the above description. He is a single man, or ordinary educa tion who had been working on a farm. This was his reply : "They think it is right. I want to enlist if I can and if I can't then after I have regis tered I want to go with the first lot called if I can. I want to go to France." I he selective service law is a fair deal and French service is attractive. That is the story in a nut shell. The draft law is now more fair than it was because it applies to all men of military age. not merely to those between 21 and 31. The law, generally speaking is be- mg.apphed with justice and in as far as is possible with con sideration for the personal in terests of those affected. The draft law is a whale of a success and its success is a tribute to the intelligence of the American people an intel ligence that causes citizens of a democracy to follow wise leadership and in so doing to place nation above self. In all history democracy was never vindicated so well before. COURTESY ON THE RAIL perennial grouches can find no ground for criticism. We know that the vast majority of them will. Boston Post. The German army is on the slide and can't find a good place to stop without sliding some more.

IRECTOR GENERAL Mc- ADOO'S order requiring courtesy in service to the public by all railroad em ployees is welcome whether it was necessary or not. It will probably tend to check any development towards discour tesy which might have arisen among a few employees who feel that because the railroads are under government control their jobs are secure, irrespec tive of the kind of service they render. As a matter of fact, casual observation of employees' atti tude to the riding public since the roads were taken over by the government has not indi cated any material change from what it was under private management. As a whole, the railroad employees seem to have gone ahead tending to their business in a very effici ent manner. Where ground for complaint has been found it was probably due as much to the individual independence of the employees, resulting from the knowledge that he could easily get equally re munerative employment m other lines of industry, as it was to belief in the security of his job under government con trol. A good many people always feel that they have the right to abuse public service employees, waiters in restaurants, porters, and others in similar occupati- a 31 28 YEARS AGO (From the East Oregonian; August 29. 1890.)

LONDON. Aug. 28. The new Duke of Northumberland is the war office's spokesman to American newspaper re porters. He succeeded Gen. Maurice. He meets with the reporters twice a week Tuesday and Fridays and tells all about the latest movements of the allied armies throughout the world. The duke Is a ' most democratic chap. There isn't any question he won't answer. A blackboard, a cane, maps of all battle fronts, and a shorthand re porter are the duke's equipment for these newspaper conferences. By all the rules of the game over here, the duke Is entitled to be ad dressed as "Your Grace." An American correspondent shock e an official the other day when he inquired If the duke had arrived to see the newspapermen. "Oh. I say, you musn't call liim just duke." remonstrated the official. "'It's His Grace you must say." The American appeared crestfallen at such a blunder, hut was restored to normal a second later whn a slap on the shoulder brought him about face to the duke who had heard the conversation and was laughing. "Come In,' he said to the American, leading the way to the reporters' room. Now the duke is one of the "gang." mediately opened fire. Two shots from the submersible struck the Brit ish ship, one of them passing through the boiler room and the other through a tank. Neither of the shells ex ploded and did no daniuge, the cup tain reported. Twenty-seven shots were fired by the tank ship, one or more of which, her master declared, scored clean hits, as flames were seen bursting from the port side of the submarine, which, he Bald, sank a few minutes later.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY ' iCafilaraia) IL C, Jack, Special Agent, Standard Oil Co., Pendleton, Ore. After making a careful surrey of the world angar 'situation the U. 8. Food Administration has asked the Ameri can public to CSB NO MORE THAN TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER SON A MONTH until January 1, 1919. Increased sugar demands from the Allied nations where the present sug ar ration Is already reduced to the lowest possible level and the need of keeping our army and nary supplied are two of the leading causes of the curtailment of America's sugar ration. Americans are requested to make two pounds of sugar per person (half a pound a week) serve for all sugar uses In the household Including cook ing and all sugar served at the table. Public eating places, as well as housewives, will be required to limit their use of sugar to tmo pounds for every ninety meals served. In the V. 8. Food Administration's cafeteria at Washington, where employees of the Food Administration take their noon meal, one pouDd of sugar Is used for every 120 meals served. The V. S. Food Administration Is confident that the American public will heartily agree to reduce household use of sugar here to a level more nearly equal to the present restrictions among the Allied nations. The situation which the United States faces In Its efforts to maintain a fair distribution of sugar to the Al lied world Is as follows: The sugar supplies throughout the country, In hemes, stores, factories and bakeries, are at low ebb; the produc tion from the American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap pointing; the yield In Porto Rico has likewise beert smaller than anticipat ed, and the Inability of the United States and the Allies to secure sugar from Java and other distant sources on account of the imperative call for ships for the movement of troops and their supplies has materially reduced the supply from such quarters. Added to this already difficult situation, the quantity needed by the Army and Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti mates; we must send a large amount to France and ItalyHo take the place of the great volume lost through the German and Austrian Invasions, dur ing which much beet land was over run and many factories destroyed; we have to supply certain quantities to neutral nations under agreements; and finally over fifty million pounds were lost recently through submarine sink-, inga off our Atlantic coast. The Food Administration Is confi dent that the American people, with the record of wheat savings behind It, having by voluntary savings sent 140,- Ouu.mJO bushels of wheat fo the Allies after practically every bushel bad been exhausted from our normal surplus, will with the same spirit save the sugar situation of the world. no public eating place may serve food on tablecloths. Apparel for babies is very scarce, so. table linen has been confiscated for the infants. Berlin is offering a half pound of imported honey as an extra Inducement to men to surrender suits of cast-off clothing for munition workers. The state has called for 1,000,000 suits.
