Evi r s::n-i a bureau of public iu fornii'.tii'ii was formed at Washington and a strict censorship passed on all matters of news, there has been ob jections presented on the part of this liberty loving; people. As the Pendle ton Tribune says, "the war depart ment seems to be utterly lost In Its policy or lack of policy in the matter of news censorship. It promises to keep the public informed of war con ditions, and fails to do so. It asserts that the casualty lists will be prompt ly published, and then switches and refuses to publish them. This is a re public, not an oligarchy. The men in control of the war machinery appear to imagine that they are so infallible that mere dicta from them as to what is wise or what is unwise, must be ac cepted as final. They possess the West Point notion, which notion is usually wrong. "Pray w hose boys are they who are wounded, and who perchance are kil led? Who is interested in the recap tion of prompt and accurate informa tion, if not the families.of the men. Do the arm chair warriors in Wash ington imagine the people are chil dren, and that they cannot endure as well as cheer?" One thing is certain. We are in this war until the very cause of wars is banished from this earth, let us hope, for ever. The American peo ple are as settled on that idea just as firmly as they were ever settled on anything and the Yankee mind, once determined, will not be' sidetracked by any false issues. Then as long as nothing can daunt our resolutions, not even the painful gloom of wounded and dying, then why should the facts, especially af ter they have transpired, not be given to the people. The subject of press censorship introduces the now time worn phrase "that the administra tion is above criticism, ", yet loyal and constructive criticism may yet prove to have been the salvation of democ racy and it may yet prove to have been the very thing that sped up the winning of the war so far as the Uni ted States is concerned. What mis take can the Government make by taking a free, intelligent thinking people into its confidence. tt WHY NOT KE-F.I.ECT THK C.OVKK XOH. To read the enthusiastic encourage ment given to Ben Olcott by some of our strong democratic contemporar ies lead us to wonder of the w hys aud wherefores. It is the most unusual thing for a democratic paper to sup port a republican and still more un usual for a so-called independent-non -partisan (eleven times out of ten democratic) to fall into such gener ous ravings over a man of professed republican principles. Olcott may make a good governor of Oregon. He hat: made a good secretary of state. We question whether he would excell the present governor and might not make half as good. 1 Anyway there is no question about Governor Withycombe. All Republi cans can vote for him with a clear! conscience and a knowledge that they are going to get four years more of a good, clean, and progressive admin istration at Salem.- A vote for Moser or a vote for An derson in substance w ould mean . a vote for Olcott, for present indica tions "are that they will not run strong but will pull more for Simp son or Withycombe. Simpson is showing more color everyday and may loom up amazingly strong at the finish. However, Governor Withy combe will have that substantial far ming element lined up solidly behind him and with the new friends he has made since entering upon his present administration will probably carry him through to victory. And remem ber, there are no political barbed wire entanglements around the governor's position. v 5-8 The man who had charge of the county road work down Cason Can yon is entitled to a lot of credit for putting that highway in excellent shape. The road bed is smooth and at the present time not dusty. The Ca son Canyon road passes through some very light, alkali soil and for that reason it is a hard matter to build aud maintain a good road bed the year round. But through the ef forts of the road boss in that section, the road is now one of the best in the county. There are a lot of patriotic people' in Morrow county. When we say pa triotic, we mean patriotic. We mean people who love their country and in loving their country, are ready and willing to make sacrifices. The buy ing of Liberty Bonds is not a sacri fice to the man of means. To him it is the safest investment in the world. But the man or woman who buys a bond, borrowing the money to buy that bond, and in reality paying the g eminent a premium for the prlv iledge of helping the couutry and the boys over there, is the one who is ma king a sacrifice. Then the men ol means are entitled to a world of cred it and are fully patriotic for sacrifi ces are made in other forms. They are in the fight to win the war and are not only buying bonds, paying heavy income taxes' and helping the Red Cross and other war activities in a financial way, but many of them are actually giving their time in a most liberal manner. It is safe to predict that Morrow county will nev er fall down on any proposition put :- to her, for her citizenship is such t! at failure is unknown. zMorrow County's Quota Of the Third Liberty Loan is One Hundred Forty-Two Thousand Dollars This means that every man, 'woman and child within the County must do their utmost. We exceeded our quota on the Second Issue; therefore, we cannot, will not, fail in the Third.

WAR RECIPIES. (By Edythe Boyd.) A number of requests have come to the domestic science department of our high school that we publish "war recipies" In the local papers, in or der that a greater number of the housekeepers of Morrow county may have the benefit of the work done in our laboratory. This work will be taken up by the members of the domestic science clas ses. No reclpie will appear in these articles that has not been tried and found to be a good "Hoover food." In all our work it is our purpose to follow the rules of the Food Conser vation Bureau and thus do our part in helping to win the war, by conser ving sugar, animal fats, wheat and meat. Recipies for war breads which will follow have been compiled by the Food Conservation Commission. Hire Yeast Bread. The rice yeast bread is very white in color, more moist than wheat bread and keeps moist longer. It is handled in much the same manner as wheat oread. The first dough how ever, is much stirrer and after once rising, the light dough is so soft that it cannot lie kneaded with the hands. It should be stirred with a strong spoon and placed in the pans, looking much like a stiff drop batter. After baking, the upper crust is less smooth than that of our familiar wheat flour loaf. The following amounts make two large loaves: One half cup of water. Four tablespoons corn syrup. Four tablespoona fat (vegetable oil.) One and half teaspoons salt. Seven cups boiled rice. Eight cups flour. One half cake compressed yeast soaked in luke warm water. (Other yeasts can be used but less wetting must then be used.) Scald liquid if milk Is used. Pour over fats, sugar and salt. Cool and add rice and flour and then kneed. After a second rising bake 4 5 minutes. CHRISTIAN' ( III R H. Sunday, April 14th. nible school at 10 a. m.

BESSIE LOVE IN "THK SAWIH'ST KING." Bessie Love will make her first ap pearance on the screen as a bareback rider in her latest Triangle play, "The Sawdust King," by L. V.

It is a delightful story of the cir cus, and Bessie Love is said to make the hit of her career as the little girl, threatened with the poorhouse, who runs away and becomes a mera br of the huge family that live under the "big top." The settings are realistic, for Bos sie and her company traveled with a circus touring through California in order to film the principal scenes.
