FAIR TREATMENT FOR SOLDIERS The public is not much interested la any personal controversy In the ray or the war department, but very much interested in removing whatever injustice exists in the pres ent penal system of the United States Army. The public, therefore. Is in clined to agree wiu samuei i. -ell, formerly acting Judge advocate general, when he says: .' "Changes must be made In the ad ministration of military justice if the American army is to. remain an efficient organization." An army cannot be efficient if the soldiers are treated unfairly. It is a matter of common know ledge that service men generally are rather bitter about the administra tion ot justice during the '.war. In the year before the "signing ot the armistice there were 360,000 cases of Inferior nature tried by courts martial and 28,000 cases tried be fore general courts. This is a good many, even in an army of millions. There is a strong impression, cor roborated by inquiry into many typ ical cases, that large numbers of sol diers were haled before such courts unnecessarily or .punished with un deserved severity. Further corrobo ration is found In the fact that the . reviewing board has remitted or mo dified the sentences in thousands of cases. As for the general method of procedure, Mr. Ansel, himself a law yer, declares that "two-thirds of those 188,000 cases were Illegally trie, if you judge by the ordinary legal tests." It appears that yie American mil itary code, which the general' staff of the United States army seems in favor of retaining, is more severe than any now used in 'Europe outside of Russia, Prussia and Spain. It is substantially the same as that used in England in 1774, but long since reformed and humanized. It is said, indeed, to differ little from the code governing the armies of Richard II of England in the year 1300. In other words, it represents the me dieval attitude -of military authori ties toward their soldiers. Such a code may do well enough for a military nation like Prussia. It will not do for a nation whose armies are not professional soldiers ut citizen-soldiers. Such soldiers carry into military life the attitude and ideal! of civil life, and deserve to have them respected so far as is consistent with discipline. NO PRISKIAXISM NOW . "Public sympathy can still be com manded for a strike to satisfy griev ances which are obviously real," 1 says the New York World. "But bey this point the public patience yond fceen exhausted. The people at la irge are 'fed un' on utrllnu Tl, are thoroughly tired of the innum n era 1)1 le hair-trigger performances alon till! lines. They are wearied to de iith with threatened outbreaks w ivhl eh have no other explanation than mental condition of unrest.

There la more truth than gentle ness In this statement. There is also a good deal of fitness In the world's application ot it to the strike ot steel workers, following as it does so closely upon the proposed walk-out of the railroad shop-workers. ' The public is undeniably tired of strikes and strike talk, and will not tolerate any more ot it unless there Is an obvious, clean-cut griev ance which dsuionstratedly cannot be remedied in any milder way. The majority of Americans ap prove and support the principle ot organized labor. There is manifest ly a general -feeling that the steel workers, like any other group of in dustrial workers, have a perfect right to organize unions and deal with their employers collectively rather than Individually, and that the United States Steel Corporation is wrong in principle and practice when it refuses to recognize this right. This public attitude, . however, does not recognize any right on the part of the steel workers to precipi tate a strike on short notice, at this particular time, with all the harm to the nation that such a srike would bring. The appeal made on behalf of the. federal government by President Wilson, asking the men to postpone action until after the labor confer ence which meets In Washington early in October, is a reasonable one, and has strong public support. The steel men themselves have more to gain by following that sug gestion than by launching a great labor war now. . In all probability, they can obtain "recognition" with out war, if they act reasonably about it - ' The American industrial situation today is comparable to the European political situation in July, 1914. Let neither side play the Prussian. Says Harvey's Weekly: "The Pres ident said the other day at St. 'Paul speaking to G. A. R. veterans, too that be was glad the Union had been saved in 1861-65, because 'It was the greatest thing that men had conceived UP TO THAT TIME.' Since then, of course, men or a man whom shrinking modesty for bade the speaker to name had con ceived something greated. But UP TO THAT TIME Washington and Jefferson -and Adams and Franklin and Hamilton had really done quite well. "UP TO THAT TIME!" The Germans' have agreed to a definite plan for restoring the de vastated parts of France, and Cer man workmen will soon start on the Job. They will consist largely of the soldiers who caused that devas tation. It will toe a sight worth see ing. France ought to run excursion trains there. One of the senators predicts that the treaty will pass'by November l.'i.'i It's a prettp safe guess, anyway, that it will be disposed of before election ' day. Neither party 'wants the onus j of holding It up that long. ; "Austria has expelled every out-! sider," says a dispatch. That must have been easy.' What outsider wants to stay In Austria?

SEALS TO Once more are the Red Cross Christmas seals to adorn our holi day packages and letters. The sale of the seals which was omitted last year in deference to the 'Red Cross and Its membership drive, will he re sumed December 1 on a more com prehensive scale than ever before. Oregon's quota is $44,260. A survey of the state .shows that there are at all times 6.'no open vases of tuberculosis in Oregon. Two hundred and twenty-four Oregon sol diers were discharged after being in the service less than three months, on account of tuberculosis and 300 were rejected by the local board. The 'association .Is now employing two special nurses who are devoting their entire time to the care of these discharged men. The names of the men visited were furnished to the Oregon association by the surgeon general. A tremendous fight against inber culosls Is to be waged during the coming years by the state and na tional tuberculosis associations. The work of these organizations Is fin anced chiefly by the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. Of the pro ceeds from the OTegon sale 90 per cent will remain in Oregon. FARMER KILLS CAT NEAR Fred Chartraw, while hunting with some companions' on his ranch up the river north of Medford, was attracted to a tree by 'seeing a cou gar spring to the lower Hnws. In vestigation showed that the lion had Just killed a large deer and was pre paring to make his meal when dis turbed. Taking aim when 'about a hundred yards off he broke the ani mal's neck. The big cat scarcely moved after being hit. (Having to drive to Medford on an errand he stopped at Jacksonville and collect ed hlg bounty of $25 and returned to his home at the Sleepy Hollow Farm late Friday afternoon. This Is the first big cat that has been brought In this year. It is no great trick to bring In large der, coyotes, foob cats and like animals, bait the crowning glory of every hun ter's Jlfe Is 'to bring flown one o' these, big fellows. Gold II 111 News.

"All growers must cull or lose money on their focks. Kvcn the best bred young flocks. ot tha country have about 25 per cent or the money-losers that must be taken out or lose as much as the good layers make. The experiment stations have devel oped a method of picking out the non-layers because, the need of cull ing Is universal." Time of moult? yellow color' and condition of comb and abdomen, are the signs by which the skilled grow er can separate the good from the poor layers, the poultrymen were told. College records show that the hens that were the good layers In September and October are the good layers the rest of the- year. The re cords ot the good, poor and medium layers were charted, and the lines of egg production by the groups never crossed. Hence if the owner aeierts the hens that lay well in these two autumn months he has picked the heavy layers. The good fall layers moult late atid soon complete the moult. Tarty monitors and long-time moulters are poor layers. Non-layers of the yellow skinned breeds have bright yellow beaks, shanks, ear lobes. Inner eye rings, and vent. Good layers keep the yel low laid out in the yelks of the eggs laid. Good layers have a' lurge comb Tor the breed, soft, bright red, waxy and warm. Non layers the reverse. Good layers have flexible abdo men, rather wide and deep, with thin, well-spread .pelvic bones. Ths distance between the pelvic bones and back ot keel bone Is wide. At least two fingers should liebetween the pelvic bones and three fingers between the pelvic and keel hones. "By observing these points yon will be able to go home and pick out a good fat hen for your Sunday din-J ner without getting one that ha eggs In her," says Professor TXryden.
