Strange as it may appear, we have men in official life as well as those in private life, who say and do things which are calculated to embarraa and defeat the efforts of the government in preparing for the mighty struggle which is ahead of our army and navy. We have them in congress. the mayor of the second city of the United State*. and far too many who call them- selves I. W W. Now all of these men are (<»r or against the government, Their sympathies are either for the nations which are struggling for a world democracy or they are for the aide which would make every govern ment on the earth autocratic. Living under a government which gives them the broadest liberty of free speech and free action, they are using that liberty to defeat the ef forts of their government to protect herself against the aggressions of autocracy and the freedom of her citixena to enjoy the liberties to which all of the principal govern ments of the earth have solemnly agreed. W’hv are not these men traitors? Why are not the congaesa- men. I who talk and vote against measures neevsnary to carry on the war to a successful conclusion, as great traitors as the men who at tempted tn destroy the government in the sixties? Why should their official positions protect them from prosecution for treasonable acts? And whv should we punish the in- slgniflcvtil I. W.

The canal is free of landslides and ships are much more abundant. It is thought by shipping men that, if the government ships now building and to be built, and with other ships which can be made available, our entire surplus of wheat and flour can he conveyed to market through the canal to th« European market as cheaply as from Chicago There fore the differential in freight rates should not exist. THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON i ■■»■»■S ■■■«»■ — .aa.»iaa The government is urging a great* er production of wheat next year than in anv other year in the history of the nation. Oregon is asked to increase her acreage by 250.000 j The commission assumed that the northwest farmer could only get his product to the world market by rail to the Atlantic seaboard, when the vast majority of our wheat will be transported to market by cargo lots via the Panama canal. Inst year, tiecause of lack of cargo ships. the bulk of our wheat crop was trans ported east bv rail. The result was the worst freight congestion in the history of American railways. The trackage and warehouses of the east were entirely inadequate to handle the enormous tonage they were call ed upon to handle. The orice fixing commission seems to have thought this same freight congestion must reoccur this year and penalized the northwestern farmer accordingly. Also, the canal was unable much of last year tiecause of land slides. SCIO t * Ask your local agent for ticket« and booklet« descriptive of th»» wonderful trip Southern Pacific
