To command men, a general must first command himself, and ho cannot do that unless ho has. full possession of his self respect -and dignity, in connection with which a fit, healthy body is a very Important consideration. One of tho reasons why Pershing has such n strong hold upon the ro- euect, lore and admiration of his troops, as wn as of tho wholo American people, Is found In his per sonal dignity and physical fitness. As a reporter from the war xono has ex pressed lt "h looks right." Ho Is 55 years old. Ills position of command In Franco tells Its own story of, his sound physical condition. Ho would 'not bu there if ho had any organic disturbances. When the army .medical examiners aro obliged to rojocl for physical disability near ly on t third of all the rogtstrants be tween tho ages of 21 and 31, Per ahlngVcxamplo of sterling health at 55 Shines out like a beacon of re assurancp. . Pershing exorclscj. Somo one has whispered It down tho lino that ho wears Very light underclothing In winter as' well as In summer, and that ha keeps his blood moving and hi muscles In fine fighting trim by running and setting-up exercises. How many business or professional men in Bend go through such exor- cfeh asa ddiiy, routine, self-respecting tlutyt How many women? Need brio ask why there aro so few hard, keen, physically sound Pershlngs in tho civilian ranks of 55? A writer who was telling about the extraordinary fighting spirit of the Canadians aga'nst great odds said that when they ara in the trenches they shave every day. "Let that sink In,". ho added. This Is demand ed of them, In spite of their fatigue and hardship, because their com mander knows what Pershing knows. and what every man should know, thatch o eean man is more courage ous than the dirty man; ho is more righteous in his respect for himself and what he is fighting for. He is also'-'moro 'courageous because bo feels healthier. Pershing takes a cold bath every clay, winter or summer. In describing his looks, a recent In terviewer in France said that his ap pearance Ib "crisp with Immaculate cleanliness." Hygiene is a baste element in morale. The man who Is clean, whoso heart is bounding with health ful exercise and whose muscles are tingling with good health, Is not tho man who is discouraged. Hygienic habits are the natural malfestatlon of a clean mind, a clear conscience and a righteous aim in life. Join tho gymnasium and keep fit. LABOR PLANS HOLIDAY Jp-V CELEBRATION. Labor day la to havo a special nig ntucnnco'thls year, for tho power of orgnnlted labor has mndo Itself mani fest In tho essential work of tho war, and Prctddout Samuol Gompors of tho Amorlc.in Federation of Lnlwr has sent out stntciuonts to unions in ovory part of tho country urging a special colobratlon of lnbor's holiday this yon1, having as Its koynoto "Win tho War for Freedom." Last year's Labor day colobrnllon was, In gonoral. solemn and serious. Tho war nolo wns much In ovldoneo. It will bo even moro so this year, but President Gompors calls upon union labor ovorywhoro to-engage In great public demonstrations attesting to labor's nbsoluto Idyalty in tho wnr. Thoro aro now, according to tho figures of tho American Federation of Labof, about 3,000,000 union men on tho rolls of that organization, about 3 per cent, of tho -population dt tho country. It Is expoctcd that great mass meetings nnd tho usual largo parades will bo decided upon by tho city central labor unions in order to comply with (Mr. Gompbrs suggestion. quired to subscribe to a cortatn antli nnd to deliver to tho authorities all Aroarnu in his or her possoWoti. Going out hunting with n gun or other weapon Is direct ovldunco that this oath Is bolng vlolntod. Hence It will suboct nuy such person to arrest, rind perhaps Internment for tho period of the war. Any person who Is registered ns nn enemy should ho very caroful to observe tho ro (lulrotuonts nnd- thus avoid trnubu, as the offlcors must enforce tho laws as given to tlioni, STATE EXPENSE IS OUT OF SIGHT (Contlnuod from Pago Ono.)

Secretary McAdoo has definitely announced that tho fourth Liberty loan bonds will bear 4 M per cent, interest. Tho secretary has been insistent that the government interest rate should bo stabilized at 4 V per cent. He points out that a raise in the rate of Interest of only one-fourth of 1 per cent, on 110,000,000,000 of gov ernment bunds would mean an an nual increase of 125,000,000 in Inter est charges, and that this money would have to bo raised by increased taxation and paid by the people ot the country. It would not be paid by ono class only, because there aro consumption as well as other kinds of taxes, and the consumption taxes reach every class of people. "As an Intelligent people," said Secretary McAdoo during the third Liberty loan campaign, "wo should now make a stand for the financing of our government during tho period of this war at a stabilized rata of in terest, say at 4 V per cent, per an num, so that all business and all in vestments may be adjusted to that basis, and so that wo ourselves may protect ourselves against successive ly increased rates of Interest on gov ernment ipans." Neither our patriotism nor our support of tho Liberty loans aro measured in fractions of per cent. ,, Tho leading family argument a no logger ''Dan vo afford 'ic tjufya.jcarT but, "Shall I claim exemption?" Re-. porta cbmo In ot la number' who will I k alee no claim. 1 Tho yelling varmint broke loose again jast Monday morning, making so much outcry that even tho Rev. R. A. Alter, who was staying at Mr. Wlest's, got, out to pursuo the beast. However, just as tho pursuit com menced the cry ceased and It was Impossible to locate the exact spot from which It proceeded. Not to be defrauded, the reverend gentleman went to look after a trap Mr. WIest had set for a coyote. Ho found It occupied. But Instead of a snapping, snarling coyote a poor, wandering badger held tho trap, which had caught him by three legs. The ani mal was slain and tho menaco to chickens reduced that much. A coyoto walked down Wall street Monday morning about 9 o'clock, but took troublo to get out of the way before a gun could bo found. The stage business appears to keep up well, both lines having all they can handlo without fear of a break down. It Is -nothing to see a 300 pound barrel ot sugar set In the mlddlo of tho stage to balance things. Tho slumbering forest has given way to scenes of active Industry on the P. B. D. Co, ditch. Tho now mill Is now sawing and the lumber, after being carefully graded, Is piled. About 700,000 feet ot lumber will ho required and most ot tho logs arc already cut. Tho building of two chimneys, ono for tho Pilot Butto Inn and tho other for tho Bend Mercantile company Is scheduled to commence within a fow days. ,t W. A.

It's not a pretty picture; but It nevertheless Is a true plctilro nnd one that should Impress the hearts nnd minds ot tho people, no matter how crudely it has boon penciled hero. All Pooplo Will Ktnmll'or. Tho commission Is asking of the pcoplo till that It believes tho. people will stand for. A majority ot tho commission, at loast, bollovea that tho stato should havo porhaps 12, 000,000 ovor and abovo tho amount allowed by tho llmltntton amendment. Conditions will bo bad enough If tho pooplo grant tho $940,000 aakod. If they rojoct It tho stato will bo In dlro straits. This Is not nn exagger ation, It Is founded upon a sincere study ot tho facts. Iiiianc AhjIiiius Full. Both of tho Insane asylums arc full now. During tho next blennlum they will be found with heavy wait ing lists. Tho Increaso now nsked will take caro of but vory fow moro patients In either of thoso Institu tions and no one knows how much more it will cost to maintain them. It tho maintenance shoots up the next two years, as It has during the past two years, tho situation will bo exceedingly bad, Indeed. The stato school for tho feeble minded has tho largest waiting list of any Institution In the state. Ap parently many feeble-minded chil dren aro born each year and their number grows rapidly. Governor Wlthycombo Btatcs that he knows of one school In Portland whore a class of 50 feu'blo-mlndod children Is nmin talncd by'-llsclfnftca'Cise tho atlfto cannot accommodato them. This means that theso children must llvo at their homes and go hack and forth from the school each day. And to bo crude and raw theso trips ot feeble-minded children fre quently end disastrously and result in even moro feeblo-mlndcd children being tho product of tho llttlo bodies still in their 'teens. It is just this JBt tl nljtjo1 ALIENS CANNOT USE GUNS WHILE HUNTING (From Wednesday's Dally.) Whllo everyone elso Is enjoying tho 'open season for hunting deor, thoso who aro registered as allon pncmlqs must remain at home, for Jf tboy hayo firearms In their posses sion they are violating tho Presi dent's proclamation. , lEvjMon enemy in this country who is registered as such was ro-J situation whlcli makes tho coniHtJonu as to tho Imhecllo and Idiotic particu larly pathetic, and a darkening men nco tor society. All ot theso facts aro known to tho officials, hut not so gonorally known to the taxpayer, who runs ins cnin ami yens, "iiy gum, thorn fellers aro robbers," when nn additional tux Is suggested. HchooW Too Full. It Is a known fact, however," that crowded conditions at this school make It necessary frequently to re loaso seemingly the moro Intelligent of theso children to let In thoso whoso Intellectual darkness Is moro complete and that such roloascs often lead to tho saddest of sad con sequences. Many, many times young girls who havo been ho released havo returned to tho school a few months later tho pathotlc victim or perhaps somo feeble-minded malo. Theso aro plain statements, but true state ments, and things which should be known to tho' taxpayer 'who Is con sidering rojoctlng ho plea of tho stato for moro money and moro room with which to feed, clotho nnd house theso hapless, helpless wards, A first hand knowlcdgo of theso conditions would open tho oyca of many a tightwad to what should bo his manifest duty. Theso conditions mean that a tightening of tho purso strings now Is poor economy In tho long run; that an ample provision for this class of wards will throw the sheltering arm of tho stato protectlngly about tho shoulders ot Hicbo unfortunates whoso brains havo boon blighted from birth and at tho samo tltno to protect society from tho exponslvo danger of having to provldo for an evor-lncreaslng numbor of Imbecile and degenerate offspring. $010,000 Will Help.

Governor Wlthycombo has taken a fall out of somo of the patriotic or ganizations ot tho stato by everlast ingly burning them for turning pa triotism Into profiteering and hiring n bunch ot supernumeraries at largo salaries for doing work which pa triotism nnd loyalty should Inspire them to do for nothing, or at nominal salaries at least. Tho governor has been generally complimented tor his stand. It has boon a habit to call a man a pro-Hun It he objected to somo soft1 handed patriots spreading tho taxpayers' money all ovor tho placo and calling this ruthless wnsto "patriotism."
