(Leslie's) The testimony of Secretary of War Baker, appearing the second time be fore the Senate Committee on Mili tary Affairs, was more full and frank than on the former occasion. When asked by Senator Chamberlain why the facts he disclosed had not been revealed before, the Secretary refer red to the general reluctance of mili tary men to publish details of war ' plans. But In the public support of Senator Chamberlain in his .charge that the War Department had "falleti down" there was no demand to pub lish military secrets. Public opinion recognizes the danger of saying too little as well as the danger of saying too much. The public knew all had not been going well in our military preparations and felt entitled to know the facts. We have them, but they were forced out. The feature of Senator Chamber lain's rpeech which most aroused the couutry was that dealing with hospit als and the care of the sick. On the testimony of Surgeon-General Gorgas cantonments were in general pretty well completed before the hospitals were commenced, although it wai General Gorgas's advice that this or der should have been reversed. The makeshift hospital without heat or proper equipment increased the death rate, which was further increased by the lack of trained nurses. Particu larly alarming has been the death rate from pneumonia, a decrease in which intelligent nursing enters lar gely into recovery. Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a captain in the Medical Re serve Corps, writine with the high authority of the Surgeon-General of the United States in the New York Medical Journal, said: "May criminal negligence of this character, never again darken the bright pages of the history of America's entrance into the world war, and may we learn a lesson through this sad experience." The Chamberlain charges show that the Government should take the public into confidence in war prepar ations. In a republic the people will respond with every necessary sacri fice when this is done. A second gain should be found In cutting out partisanship and the red tape of offi cialdom, and putting the best busi ness minds of the country in charge of the great business of war. -- In eveiythlng the men who oft'erol their l-lood will have the preference over those who simply gave money. ?-.eat t gab. l-.vf.n the e I tor who failed to go to war will have very little chence to make himself fe'.t. It is well that this is so. It will be a poor day for America when the soldiers and sailors are not honored before all others. Oregon Voter. From present Indications, the Iron hone will soon be supplanting the horse ot flesh In Morrow county, What farmer Is there today who hit ches up the old nags when he cornea O town? The majority of them go out and crank up the tin Lizzy or step into their big touring car. The old driving team is left to their own pleasures in the pasture. When plowing season rolls around, a great many of the farmers use tractors to pull their plows and harrows. Ma chinery at harvest time, either steam or gas, grinds out the grain r.r.d again the horse is counted out. The past season saw a large quantity of wheat hauled to the market with auto trucks. When good roads become the prevailing style in highways, the horse will be counted out more than ever. But suppose these Oregon hens now protected by the food adminis trator refuse to lay eggs; should they be allowed to eat $2 per bushel wheat while they loaf, asks the Pendleton East Oregonlan. Spokane's new directory shows there are 138,000 people in that city and the name of Smith leads them all, there being 584 families of that name. Camp Lewis, with a record of only 52 deaths In five months among a to tal of 50,000 men. Is not getting much national advertising via the in vestigation route, but is just as well satisfied, says the Spokesman-Review STAXFIELD, THE MAX OP THE HOUR. One fo the state's really big men has visited Coos County this week. In this we refer to Hon. Robert N. Stanfield, of Stanfteld, Oregon, speak er of the House of Representatives. He is a man equally well known with leaders of the state, and few Indeed have a more charming personality. Incidnetally we mention he is a can didate for higher honors, that of re presenting the state in the United States Senate. His excellent record as a citizen of Oregon, a trail blazer, having practically built the city which he hails from and in which the people have chosen the name in his honor. He has shown his ability as Speaker of the House and those who have watched his career are cer tain that his services will be most appreciated in the greater opportun ity, that of doing something as Sen ator from Oregon. Few men, indeed, there are who possess the qualifica tions necessary to make a success or even a mere mark in the world while serving as United States Senator, and when it Is known that a man so rich ly endowed really wants the place. Is willing to sacrifice golden opportuni ties in a business way to serve the state, we should appreciate the op portunity of securing his services and give him the toga with a vote of suffi cient majority to prove there is no mistaken confidences expressed. Mr. Stanfield is a man big enough to conceive of and work for the lar eest interests of the state. He is likewise big enough to give the mer est detail his closest attention. Why not decide right now to send him to Washington and see if Oregon can not be lifted out of this rut? J-l The day of the old rooster has at last come. Mr. Hoover has decided that the biddies must not be slf.-igh-Urfd. So K'ng Chanticleer is at last about to be crowned.

Tax 14 (Continued on Page 8) In Keeping With the Big Thought of the Day The dally press reflects a sentiment throughout the nation which clearly Indicates a new condition. Men are wanted everywhere. The work of this war Is being car ried on largely by those who never before have been in public office or in public work. Men who have been too busy, too engrossed with their own tasks, are leaving their work to others and giving their time and ability to the cause which Is ours, yours, everybody's. It is a time when politics in the ordinary sense must not be con sidered. It calls for all the ability that can be mustered. Oregon to be a successful part in this unit plan for the defense of Democracy, must likewise place the thought of the times, before everything. In another part of this paper appears the announcement of L. J. Simpson as a candidate for the nomination for Governor on the Re publican ticket. Mr. Simpson was urged to become a candidate by his many friends in every part of the state, because of his business record, his understanding and knowledge of Oregon's resources, In dustries and needs; because of his public-splrltedness, which of re cent years has led him to tasks which have been more important to him than his own affairs. L. J. Simpson is clearly the man who can give Ore gon the administration necessary to this plan of Na tional Efficiency. His campaign will be directed straight to you as voters, as indiv iduals who can do your own thinking. We are firmly convinced that you will not allow pilitics to influ ence your decision, and that you will vote fir tre man who is best fit to help the people of Oregon, develop the state's vast resources, and to prepare for, and participate in, the great reconstruction that is to follow. We believe you will weigh issues more closely than ever before, and that L. J. Simpson will be your choice. 1 Viu k"A ffS ... f What You Can Do First Talk over his candidacy with your friends. Second If you believe that L. J. Simpson is worthy of your support write a letter to this committee. Suggest how his cause may be ad vanced. We, in turn, will tell you how you can help.
