An Interesting Publication
Through the courtesy of Cha-
D Staley the editor of the Ex­
press has had the pleasure of pe­
rusing a copy of ‘ ‘The Spiker,” a
14-pace magazine published by
the men of the Eighteenth Engi­
neers, Railway, "Somewht re in
France ” The Spiker is brim full
of inteiest ng -tories of camp life,
sporting events, cartoons and
poetry, but ( because of the censor)
no real war news. Here is a verse
which gives one an inkling of the
feelings of a' least one “ Yank:”
M E M O R IE S
Just for a day of our yesterdays!
Days that can come no more;
Days that we squandered carelessly
Out of our seeming store.
Now I would give all the years to come,
Though the years to come are few,
Just for a day of our yesterdays,
Just for a day with you.
- R . W . K.
Here is an item from the Spikei
for the boys who expect to go
over later: ‘ R 'ad Mark Tw ain’s
famous statistics on the mortality
rate in bed. Clemens proves that
more people die in bed than any
other place even in the trenches
of Flanders ” *
“ Camouflage” is a French word
and means to disguise or cover
up. We don’t need the word in
our business, as our furniture,
kitchen cabinets and rugs are so
perfect they will stand the light
of day and the closest inspection.

It
In Keeping With the Ili#
Thought o f the Day
The daily press reflects a sentiment throughout the nation
which clearly indicates a new condition.
Men are wanted everywhere. The work o f this war is being
carried on largely by those who never before have been in pub­
lic office or in public work. Men who have been t<*o busy, too
engrossed with their own tasks, are leaving their work to
others and givin g their time and ability to the cause which is
ours, yours, everybody’s.
It is a time when politics in the ordinary sense must not be
considered. It calls for all the ability that can be mustered.
Oregon to be a successful part in this unit plan for tin* de­
fense o f Democracy, must likewise place the thought o f tin*
times before everything.
In abotber part o f this paper appears the announcement o f
L. J. Simpson as a candidate for the nomination for Governor
on the Republican ticket. Mr. Simpson was urged to become
a candidate by his many friends in every part o f the state, be­
cause o f his business record, bis understanding and knowledge
o f Oregon’ s resources, industries and needs; because o f his
public-spiritedness, which o f recent years bus led him to tasks
which have been more important to him than his own alTaira.
L. J. Simpson is clearly the man who can give
Oregon the administration necessary to this
plan of National Klliciency.
His campaign will be directed straight to you as voters, as
individuals who do your own thinking.
We are firmly convinced that you will not allow politics to
influence your decision, and that you will vote for the man
who is best fit to help the people o f Oregon, develop the state’s
vast resources, and to prepare for, and participate in. the great
reconstruction that is to follow.
We believe you will weigh issues more closely than ever be­
fore, and that L. J. Simpson will be your choice.
What You Can Do
First Talk over his candidacy
with your friends.
Second I f you believe that L.
J. Simpson is worthy o f your sup­
port, write a letter to this commit­
tee.
Suggest how his cause may In*
advanced. We, in turn, will tell
you how you can help.
