KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY SENATOR M'NARY KEEPSHIS WORD Fulfills Every Pledge ot Cam paign and Should Be Re-elected. IS WILSON LIKE LINCOLN? On March 18, 1863, President Ab raham Lincoln wrote the following letter to Henry Winter Davis: My Dear Sir: There will be in the hm, of reDresentatives. as there were in the old, some members openly opposing the war, some sup porting it with ."buts" ana iu " "n,i Thev will divide on the or ganization of the house on the elec tion of a BpeaKer. Ac vmi ak mv opinion, I give It that the supporters of the war should eend to congress no man wno not pledge himself to go into caucus with the unconditional supporters of the war. and to abide the action oi j such caucus and vote for the person therein nominated for speaker. Let the friends of the government first save the government and then administer to their own liking. Two years ago President Wilson was being likened to Abraham Lin coln. Today the war in which the country Is engaged is, as was the war in 1863, supported in congress by some unconditionally, and by some with "buts" and "ifs" and "ands." In this classification they are not today distinguished by party miioiinna Thev were so distin guished more or less in 1863. Yet, in Mr. Lincoln's letter there is not one word of party politics The only test he names 13 unrondi tional support of the war by the can didate. Oregonian. In this respect there is no com parison between Lincoln and Wilson. Lincoln only wanted congressmen to he LOYAL. TO THE WAR. Wilson acknowledges that the re publicans .have been strongly pro war, but doesn't care a rap about that. He wants them to be pro-Wil-mH lpavn all matters to his Judgment, no advice or counsel be ing needed. YeB, pro-administration Is all he asks but unlike Germany, this is not a country that worships ONE MAX, Manifestly the German nation was convinced that all It had to do, In order to obtain peace, was to suggest it to Germany's foes. Nobody else really had anything to do with It. Great Germany, which began the war would stop It with a word. All the allies had to do was to sign on the dotted line. It waa a curious exhibition of Ger man arrogance and insolence, none the less offensive for being uncon scious. It was proof enough that the German state of mind which was at the bottom of all this war bus iness Is not yet eradicated. The Ger mans still eeem to feel that their country Is all-powerful. Defeats, of which they really know little, have not sufficiently shaken that confi dence. They cannot see straight yet. Their attitude Is still the old, inso lent attitude of German superiority to the rest of the universe, their way of political thinking is still the way of autocracy and absolutism. There Is disappointment and rage in Get many now. at the discovery that it is not so easy to stop the war as it was to start it. But ev-;n so. they do not rage at their &u!lW mas ters so much zs at the enemv nations that sternly refuse to make peace at Germany's bidding. It is still a nation "swollen with Insolence and pride," which must be humbled before we can get any where with our peace purposes. In fact, the humbling of-the spirit of the German people is more Import ant than the crushing of the German armies, for otherwise those armies will rise again. YOUNGSTER HAD RIGHT SPIRIT Newsboy's Appreciation of Work of "Our Boys" a Valuable Object Lesion In Patriotism. Here Is a story told by un Indlanupo- III wnmnn !

"Much Interested, I moved over to the little fellow. Under cover of buy ing n paper and getting change, I put a casual question: 'How do you ex pect to get your money from that sol dier down there?' My little friend looked dlsLMistiMl. 'I rave It to 111 III !' he Instantly retorted. Then he turned to gaze again on the fascinating scene below, and added very softly: 'He's doln' more'n a cent's worth for us.'" Indianapolis News.

'I shall cooperate Irnnedlntely with any movement which has for Its pur pose (ho suppression of camming and speculation In the necessities of life to the end that too consuming public shall pay a fair profit to the producer only." On the same day, Oswald West said: If the iiledKes he (Senator McNary) has made to the people are kept, aud I am sure they will be, ha will un questionably bo returned to the Sen ate at the next gonoral clorUon. Senator McNary has kept his every pledge. He voted for submission of the National prohibition amendment to the Legislatures ot the several states. He also voted for National Equal Suffrage and has Introduced a bill fixing the prices of many essential commodities, Hostile, he has a 100 per cent record for supporting the President a war program.

Suddenly the alrnlane dived and looped the loop, then traveled upside down. "Hold fast." "Wh-whnt!" "We ure going to land." Gently the nirplane glided to earth.

The Democratic candidate for Gov ernor of this stale has flaunted In the face of the public an advertisement ami bid for votes that should and no doubt will be Indignantly resented by patriotic cltlicns everywhere. It read thus: "Not till every grain of wheat had been harvested fur the soldiers did Walter M. l'lerce start to ask you for your votes as Democratic candidate, for Governor," etc. To anybody who knows the thrifty, lucre gathering Wulter Pierce, the hol low mockery or that expremdun ap peals with the most (llsgimtlng effect. They know thai every grain of wheat In Walter's broad acres was harvested to bring that a bushel to Walter's bank account, and they cannot resist an angry feeling upon seeing this attempt to use the name of the noble boys ut the front for tho ignoble purpose of securing himself some votes. Using their names In this way Is nothing bUor't of sacrilege. Salmu Statesman. Full Line of Auto Supplies TIRES-A11 Sizes C. L. HOBART CO. VOTERS HAVE A PATRIOTIC DUTY I !

The pop ulace cheered as it had not cheered for years. Everybody shook every body else's hand and expressed Joy that the war was over. It was almost the same in the Ger man army.

World news is all right, but OUR BOYS want NEWS OF THIS TOWN. They want tho home newspaper. Publishers are prevented from Bending their papers free to anyone, even boys in the service. Consequently a national movement has been started by Col. William Boyce Thompson of New York, who is acting as President of the Home Paper Service of America to give the boys what they are calling for. Every community is joining the movement Let ut see that our boys are not forgotten. Send to the publisher of this newspaper whatever amount of money you can 6 cents or $50.00. We will publish a list each week of those contributing, and the amounts contributed. Every cent received will be used to send this paper to our boy at the front. If at the end of the war, there i any surplus, it will be turned over to the local Red Cross Committee. There is no profit in this to the publisher even in normal times, subscriptions are not sold at a profit. With war prices prevailing, and the high rate of postage on papers sent to France, our cost will scarcely be covered by our full subscription price.
