STAND BY THE PRESIDENT, Thoro Is growjug dltcontont at tho ."conduct and misconduct o( war-tlmo .affairs nt Washington. , Tho array, tho navy and the men who am bearing the brunt ot tho ro- jfoponsjbllltlcs. ot action seem to bo Irarmilttliiir thomnolvn with rroillt. i tfTtiii at Wnnlilnirtnn. whrrn thn mnln Spring of our war efficiency lies, nnd whoro tho war, to a great degree, iwlll bo lost or won so far as we aro 'concerned, there Is haggling, delay find puerile wordiness. Tho shame ot It Is becoming In 'creaslngly apparent to tho country at large. Soon the people, who pay i the cost of this war for world free- i dom and who bear Its burdens nnd i Its sorrows, will let It bo known In J i;tccrtaln tones that they have had I ''enough of narrow-guago political j pulling and hauling at the capital. Thoy will rise up and drive tho lttlle s obstructionists, tho contemptible IKtilscr-pawns and the selt-conceltod partisans from their posts of nils : jjappl'ed authority. 'TT'And In their stead will be placed ' men ot real patriotism, bigness and ability. , If tho muddle at Washington serves no better purpose, It Will nt least show who In Congress, and who elsewhere In official position, Is truly worthy. There will be n grand thin ning out of the unfit, during tho war, and afterward. The ship building row, with Its In terminable quibbling and delay wax a.' world disgrace. The everlasting jealous debating and rovlsing of tho food bill Is as bad. God'knows we have need of action And tho experience ot our Allies dur ing tho three years of war shows con clusively the Tightness of centralized power, and the futility ot divided re sponsibility. "'With all our democracy, the peoplo realize the pressing necessity of au tocracy In such a crisis as this. It is the only way. Give us leaders and let them lead. .Give them authority and let them use It. It they fall, they can be replaced. But faljure. or at least costly mis takes, beyond number-r-costly to the youth of the land, our most precious possession surely will follow If the men nt Washington try to conduct this war on the lines of a debating society. Strangle a few score senator and congressmen who are quibbling ovor the food bill, nightly or wrongly, tho country at large wants Hoover to tako hold of that vital department That Is undoubted. Give him a chance. Don't, strangle him with committees and community rule. It's a one man Job, If he fails, there will be time to find a. better man. A one man Job. That's Just It Jn a great measure. In an unprec edented, deBrec, this whole war, from our. ('standpoint, must be a onj man affair. 'The country expects that the one, man Is to bo given tho power to actually lead. It expects that ho is not to be hampered and restricted. It cares little for party and las for picayune personalities. And that ono man is thi i'resldunt of tho United States, He Is our eloct ed leader. Ho Is responsible for the conduct ot the war. He mhst )u given every authority such leadership and responsibility requires. He must be vested with truly autocratic pow er. Ho must be supported, not ham pered, by Congress. Such is the wish of the country. Such Is the need ot the hour. Loyal Republicans would have it so, Just as much as Democrats. There is no other way. That pretty phrase, lipped so often at the time of declaration of war, w'Stand by tho President," must be a reality. And largely, It would seem, It Is no. such reality In Washington today. It tho powers which the President must have, and which he will receive, sooner or later, are abused, he, and his parly will be fittingly rebuked by tho sovereign people at the appropri ate time. If they are well exercised, tho country will rally round him as a Llncqlu. Hut If Senators and Congressmen and -officials, who keep muddying tho legislative and administrative waters, think they caii survive the ultimate wram oi me people, mey aro mis taken. Partisanship, personal self ishness, sectionalism and hair-split Ing will never bo forgiven, Tliena tlonal leaders, ot tomorrowara these. men who are oig enougn to lorgei everything but their determination to help win. tho war. They will sur vive. The others, the little men, will sink into deserved and unpleasant oblivion. it shows Ave havo a runl man on the Job, who menus to do more than draw his salary and play politics. . Says tho Portland Journal, rein tlvo to tho McNnry effort: '"Construction ot Irrigation pro jects In Eastern Oregon by thn fed oral tcovcrnment Is much to be de sired. For years tho reclamation sorvlco los been Investigating nnd procrastinating in this field. For a long tlmo tho reports ot tho field forces Jiavo been on f Ho nt Washing ton glvlitR-dctalls and construction cost of tho feasible projects through out the arid section ot tho stnto. For years tho reclamation chiefs havo been spending tho money contributed by the stato ot Oregon to tho con struction ot projects elsewhere. "Senator McNary- should ho com mended for lila efforts to secure an appropriation of $20,000,000 tor tho construction ot now projects. More than halt ot this sum has already boon put into tho reclamation fund in Oregon' money, while very little, rel atively, has boon exponded hero." The Journal then goos on to ex plain why It thinks It was proper tor Senntor Chamberlain to opposo tho McNnry hill, as ho did. It says that when McNary Introduces tho proposal again, as a separate' bill and not an amendment, ho, Chamberlain, will support it. Undoubtedly McNary will try n separata hill, as he has promised to stay with It until he gets results. And It Chamberlain does actively support it, Oregon should have n most excellent chance of getting that money nnd our long delayed share ot federal aid for Irrigation. In which caso we will bo profound ly grateful to Senntor McNary. WIU8KKY, .NOT HITTERS.

The Eugene Guard says that every one knows that one ot the stars In tho American flag represents Oregon, but few and very few at that know which one belongs to us.. Every stnto In tho Union has Its own Individual and particular star and Its placement on the square blue Is definitely regu lated by law and executive order. Oregon can easily be located on tho flag the fifth star down the loft hand side. In 1912, on the 26lh day of October tho last executive ordor concerning tho flag was made and It provided for tho specific arrange ment of tho stars. They woro to he arranged In horizontal rows of eight stars each. Starting In tho upper left hand corner and placing each row from loft to right, tho star cor responding to each stato Is named In the oVder of tho state's ratification of the constitution. Thus, star No. 1, In tho upper left hand corner. Is for Delaware. Star . .o. 48, In tho lower right hand cor ner, is for Arizona. The following list will show you at a glanco exactly the location ot each stale: First row No. 1, Delaware: 2.

Tho question of a tiro alarm raised by Editor Plerson, of Tho Labor !!endcr, has been discussed Inter mittently far years. Wo ngreo with him that an alarm Is desirable, and If wo nro to havo tho best protection. necessary. Tho only question Is, what shall tho alarm be, and how ob tained? Undoubtedly It must bo soino form ot noise, bells or whistle. Thoro are only two bolls In town, at tho high school and on the llaptlst church. Tho latter has probably given the alarm for more flros than any other thing In town. It Is centrally located, and served welt enough when nil our fires wcro In the business section. Thoro Is no one regularly on duty at tho church, howover, and no quick and to leave with n kindly feeling, In that year, through tho kindness of Tho llnmt Company, laud on tho river front was used hy tourists, while tiro wood and other conven iences were furnished by thn club.

ACTION, Senator McNary made his maiden Hpeeu lu ttio Jpenate tuo fjptbor day THE ABANDONED FIGHT. Headers of Colliers Weekly, who have been familiar with Its editorial section for the past few years, havo recently missed the familiar para graph In the upper right hand corner ot the second page hitherto devoted to knocking "booze." For years tho campaign has been carrlqd on. Tho paragraph was always there. What ever else thero was In the magazine, whatever else was discussed editor ially, the reader was always suro to find something' In this paragraph amounting directly or indirectly to an argument against the uso of liquor and In favor of prohibition. The sudden abandonment of a fea ture that was gaining moro power every week seems strange. The vic tory was not yet won. Why should the campaign be given up? The victory was not won, but It seemed almost won. Wo wonder If that was the reason why the work was stopped. It surely looks as If 'this wero so. And wo reason It out thus:. Tho United States, at war with Germany, needs a rovonuo far beyond ap former needs with which to carry os the war. Colliers has taken tho position that tho big part ot tho rev enue should be derived from In creased borrowing rather than for more and higher taxes. Internal rev enue from the liquor business fur nished a big share of the country's Incomo and If this were out off by national prohibition tho chancos aro that whatevor borrowing wero re sorted to thero would atlll be lovled extra (axes to help make up for the loss of the liquor revesuo.

I have noticed tho wall or the local druggists In tho Ilend Bulletin of July 28 and 30, to the offoct that It Is "whiskey, not hitters" that should bo blamed for what drunkunness thero Is In Hend, and claiming thai they "have thn legal privilege of sell ing malt extracts which aro virtually flvo per cont beers." Anyone reading thoso publications can easily sco why tho druggists are so ardently defending their uw ot such bitters. Since tho bono dry law wont Into effect, tho salo of bitters has Increased about COO per rent. and such a largo salo of bitters must necessarily errata large profits for tho druggists who handle thorn, as thoy aro sold at $1.25 per bottle, Thoso bittors aro bottled under dif ferent names, tho chief among thorn being Hostutters Hitters, Hostellers Hitters aro sold In 18 nunco bottles labeled "2G per cont alcohol," If tho druggists claim (hey havo a right to sell malt extracts containing "flvo per cont beors," why do thoy Insist on selling Hostellers nittors contain ing 25 por cent aloohol? Tho answer Is perfecting obvious, Another statement of tho drug gists In Thn Hiillotln or tho 28th reads as follows: "Tho druggists of nend havo endeavored from tho out set to live up to tho spirit of tho pro hibition law " What Is tho "spirit" of the prohibition law? Lot us anal yze It nnd see, Tho prohibition law says It shall bo unlawful to sell nny Intoxicating beverage uontnliiliig moro than ono-half of ono por cent alcohol, yet Hostotters Hitters con tains 2ft per rent alcohol, or I'li'TN t linos ns much alcohol as tho proli lilllnu law allows. Then tho drur. gists try to excuse themselves by lug that Hostotters llllturit Is n "pro prlulury. medicine."

The qutHtthui nattir till)' arts', If such bitters are so vl liable a remedy now since the mate has koiIk dry, why wore they not be fore? Mnyho some of the drugget ran give us a little enlightenment on this. Time and 'again I have stood on the sidewalks of Ilend and watched drinking mon go Into the drug store tn buy bitters, aud look thn bitter away from them as soon ns they rame out of the stores. Thofo'taere ten arrests on and Im mediately after thn past Fourth or July, on the grounds of driiukeune nod disorderly conduct, and even ono of these men swore under oath that thoy hud gotten drunk on Ho tetters Hitters, and thorn wero one or moro bottles ot Hostellers Hitter taken off the person nt each one of them Tlmo and again innu hav been arrested for being drunk, and Hosiot'tors'llltters wcro round In their possession, and any one skilled tn such things ran easily tell when a man Is drunk on such bitters or whether he Is drntik on whlskny.
