FRIDAY. Al'RIL 19. 1918.
NEWSPAPERS AND POLI
TICIANS Here is how tho Reedsport
Courier hands it to the numerous
candidates who have flooded its
office with long-winded platforms
and fulsome auto-biographies:
"They never think of enclos
ing acheck to the editor and hav
ing their announcements publish
ed as a paid advertisement. That
would take all of the camouflage
out of the matter, although it
would be the only honest way of
getting their names before' the
public, and if they can not be
nonest, squore and equitable be
rates, would 'amount to several
times that amount each week.
It is exactly the same proposition
as though these gentlemen would
go to a hrst-class hotel and buy a
medium-priced supper and pay
cash for it and then blandly ask
the proprietor for free meals for
a month with a de luxe room-with-a
bath thrown in as good
measure. A candidate for office
who would make such a proposi
tion to any business man outside
of a country newspaper office
would probably be held for ex
amination as to his sanity, and
yat that is the very kind of stuff
they are putting over on country
editors every day.
It is not altogether the fault of
the politicians altho it might be
argued that their pride and sense
of fairness would keep them from
making a play so raw the news
paper men are primarily to blame.
If they, as a class, had the wis
dom of blind monkeys they would
not stand for such treatment for
a minute. There is not a man
running for a state office in Ore
gon today but the country news
papers could put out of the run
ning within two weeks if they
wanted to. They have a Dower
fore thev are elected, what own hp
expected of them after election? which many of themselves do not
w jLdnL5rnu,SheorcSf; rerstand nor realize-and yet
newspapers at the present time tney are content to plug along
fr ,.,U 4 1, .1 lilr CI fvnie. 1
ai, icani, wmtii Liit'v are uoing "-. wan. ui ucavnjr lauen asses
everything they possibly can to- packing the loads of the political
ward helping the Government office-seekers who in return there
win the war, by giving unlimited f ..,:..,, ., ,
space in their columns f,,r thP lor graciously allow them to
purpose ot advertising every
thing worthy to that end, abso
lutely tree, are not worthy ot con
sideration by the public, no mat- and thorns by the wayside
ter what party they are affiliated
vvitn.
While all the Courier says about
the politician may be true it is
hardly fair to lay all the blame
for existing conditions as between
politicians and newspapers at Ihe
office-seeker's door. Office-seekers
are generally out to win some
well-salaried office or some office
that will serve as a stepping
stone to some well-salaried office
as a strictly selfish business pro
position, and it is natural that
they figure on putting the deal
over at as small an expenditure
of money as is possible and at
the same time keep themselves
in good standing in the commu
nity. Of course, when an ollice
seeker starts out to make a cam
paign ot the state in search of
votes lie finds that certain items
of his expenses must be paid for.
Among these items may be men
tioned railway fare, hotel bills,
auto hire, gasoline, cigars, whis
key, laundry, etc. 1 low far does
anyone suppose a politician would
got if he started out to make a
htatowide campaign with the do
libel ate intuition of getting from
15 per cent to lni) per cent of all
these expense items donated to
him by an admiring public? lie
Would get ditched mighty quick
anil his name from henceforth
ami forever would be 1 tennis with
u big D The railway ticket
agents and conductors, the hotel
keepers, garage people, cigar
men. hoot-legos, laundr) men.
etc , are generally business men
and they f;,il to a!l lor the glad
band st nil' and t lie endearing per
sonal letters such as are habitu
ally peddled to country newspa
permen by politicians w ho must
huvo publicity and who know
from past experience that the av
erage count ry newspaperman is
n big enoui'h dam tool to give his
Htock in trade for'nothmg
Specific cases ceul 1 easily ho
given in the presmt campaign
of men who are seeking the nom
ination for the highest positions
within the gilt of the people of
Oregon and who are t -ending
money like water to advance
their interests, who are sending
out thousands of do!, an worth of
purely ohtieal advertising mat
ter and askii.g that it be pub
lished w ithoul inoi't y and with
out price.
Mo.;', of them, it h true, early
in the eatTipaigM, bought adver
tising r-'p-nv from most of the
country ne a p. to theamoiint
of from tl to f". ( a. h and then
follow e. th it u;i w it h free "dope"
which, charged lor al regular
browse their living from the
scant and oftimes bitter herbage
which starves among the rocks
The editors and publishers
then, should step under and as
sume at least one-half the blame
for the conditions complained of.
The Food -Situation !
The food situation is becoming 1
more serious. The lack of ship
ping will prevent the Argentine
crop from being available to tne
Allies. The bread ration in France
has been cut to one third the pre
war period. The French people
are fighting our fight, hence we
must feed tnem. The larger use
of sbirjs for transnort Ht.inn of
men and munitions makes it
more urgent that the concentra
ted food stuffs, such as flour be
sent. This means that America
must eat less wheat. What are
we going to do about it? Idaho
is planning to go upon a non
wheat basis. Indiana has noti
fied the Government that it may
take the wheat, they will rustle.
Many complain about the cost of
substitutes. It is not a question
of cost. It is a question of sav
ing wheat to win the war, or tak
ing a chance on letting the Kai
ser tell you what to eat.
The Fooa Administrator urges
the people of Oregon to eat more
potatoes. We have a surplus on
hand. He also urges the people
to plant potatoes in large quanti
ties. Tbe prices may not be so
attractive now, but a large crop
may save the food situation next
year.
After the present stocks are
sold, retail dealers are expected
to require purchasers to take an
equal amount of substitutes with
all wheat preparations, such as
wheat flakes, etc.
Morrow county has made good
in all other lines and I am send
ing word to Mr. Ayer that Mor.
row county will make good on
saving wheat.
