TOO MU H CENSORSHIP.
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.

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

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.

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.

in brief: A little girl escapes the j
squalor of poverty to make her own j
living. One of her early associates
follows her and brings suspicion of ;
crime upon her. She is sentenced to '.
a reformatory, but escapes from her
keepers by jumping from a moving,
train into the waters that swirl be
neath the bridge. She is rescued by'
a young man with lots of money, who
takes her to his home and induces!
his mother to take the girl into the (
family. Again the crook who had ,
been her early accuser turns up at a
social function and the girl, througTT
this connivery, is suspected of a dia
mond robbery. Tne young man wfio
has befriended her proves she is in
nocent and after all the girl's trials
and tribulations comes the "happy
ending" to climax a thoroughly good
entertainment.
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. Jeffer
son, at the Star theater Sunday.
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.
Every detail, from the wardrobe tent
to the main tent with the three rings,
is shown. Among those in the large
cast supporting the star are Harold
Unndwin, Jack Richardson, Josephine
Headley, Daisy Dean and Alfred Hol-iingsworth.
