THE SOl.MKUS' WEEKLY NEWS
LETTER.
Pome of the newspapers of the
t a.o have been lambasting those pa
triotic men who are responsible for
the Soldier's Weekly News Letter.
As we view it. the comlemnatiou of
the publication on the part of the
critics, is untimely. Three issues of
the paper have been sent across the
water to our boys in France and as
yet, we have barely had time to hear
the verdict of the boys over there.
If the Soldiers' Weekly News Let
ter brings one iota of cheer to our
gallant men, then it should be en
couraged to the fullest extent. Much
' has been written and more has been
said about how glad the boys are to
receive a word from home. In the
Soldiers' Weekly News Letter are it
ems gathered from over the state, ev

venture the assertion that the boys a

many people may not know, we will
say that the "Oregon Voter" is pub

As the name would indicate, the
Voter deals out a whole lot of infor

.Chapman is a regular "bear" for sta
tistics and page after page of the Vo

grams, figures and illustrations to
show in a clear and concise manner
just what he is driving at.
At the present time Mr. Chapman
is devoting space to character sketch
es of the men who would serve Ore
gon. The sketches are interesting
and sometimes quite funny.
But the Voter has its serious side
as wol) as the light, and we can re
commend it as being one of the most
interesting periodicals coming to our
desk each week. This is not paid

demand for the publication at home
has become so great, a subscription
price of two dollars per year has been
set for civilians. Here some of the

But we would not impugn the mo
