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.

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.
