Paid Advertisement. For Joint Representative. I hereby announce my candidacy Ion the Republican ticket for Joint Representative of the District of Mor row and Umatilla Counties in the May primaries. I have lived in Uma tilla county 24 years and own prop erty in both counties. I was a mem ber of the 1919, or War Sesson, and the specal session of 1920 of the Ore gon Legislature and otherwise have devoted much time to public matters. I have no platform, except to offer the best judgment I have and to pur sue a conservative and economic course. I believe in applying strict business methods to public matters. When we can pay for public develop ment we should have betterments, but when taxes grow burdensome we must be content with the old ways un til we can do better. Just now taxes must be trimmed wherever possible and no new appropriations made; and the pressing need of the farmer and stockman must be the main issue in law making and in the sphere of public influence. .

Points Out Value to Country of Healthy Manhood and Gives Some Suggestions. By Charles E. Sawyer. Editor's Note. General Charles E. Sawyer is not only a great physi cian and surgeon. He is in addition a great student of manhood and his work as one of the ranking officers in the army medical corps has placed him in a position to know the true condition of the nation's physical manhood. That he is unafraid to de clare the condition verging on the tiagic is a fortunate thing for those Americans who are not blinded by a false pride in birth and national ego tism and who hail with pleasure any step taken to right the condition. America's physical manhood is ma terially deficient. Its mental capacity is of a medio cre type. Harsh and cruel as these state ments may sound they are only the grim findings of the records made when the World War forced examin ation of America's manhood. The knife of a surgeon may seem cruel in its relentless cutting but the results obtained more than justify the method. If we are brought to a realization of our needs through a frank if smarting application of truth then we have taken the first step to- Im. arA n national hpnlth nnrl hiohpr grade of mentality. Such a realization is growing ana the nation today is moving toward some system that will change us from a body of men shot through with phy sical weakness to a physical perfec tion that will make us not only strong as individuals but will make us strong as a nation, a need greatly to be de sired in the troubled times that have Fallen upon the world. Survival as expressed in God Al mighty's plan of human perpetuity depends upon fitness. This is quite as true of Nations as of individuals.' A nation to be most fit must have men and women of physical strength and mental capacity. To have physi cal strength and mental capacity as a nation it is quite important that there should exist a general national rlnn of rhvsical development.

Our Health Record. The records of the World War re veal the fact that America's physical manhood is materially deficient and its mental capacity of a very medio cre type. The findings of the draft beards as applied to men training for soldiers shows only 672 per cent of the flower of the country's manhood in physical condition to stand war's vicissitudes. These same war records shew another distressing and surpris ing situation as regards the mentality of our people. Of all the men who went into service only 4 per cent showed very superior intelligence, 9 per cent superior intelligence, 16'2 per cent high average intelligence, 25 per cent average intelligence, 20 per cent low intelligence. 15 per cent in ferior intelligence, 10 per cent very inferior intelligence. In other words 70 per cent of our young American manhood registers below the average of normal mentality, representing re ally only the mental ability of the age of 14 years and less. These are re ally startling figures and certainly indicate great need of much special attention to the individual citizen if America is to keep step with the march of progress as a nation. Had we put the physical tests by which ve measure soldiers to all the people of the United States, we should have found ourselves less than hfty per cent competent. Welfare Sacrificed. In the hurry of development, in the necessities of production and out of the consequences of competitive ex istence, the rule in America has been to sacrifice not only natural endow ments but also physical welfare. America in the strength of its youth has been improvident and without due consideration for the consequences of extravagant drain upon our greatest resources, i. e., health. It is true that we have em ployed some simple forms of calis tnentic exercises in our schools. We have had a limited amount of physi cal development under voluntary mil itary instruction; we play some golt ! fnA a viinr limit..,! nnnihr n!:iv hn;p. r-.- - r-ail and basketball, out on tne wnoie America has paid little heed and giv en little attention to the proper de velopment of the individual as' a class.

She has pride in prorcs in the development of all of the af- fairs in which any nation should be interested, such as its manufactures, its mines and mining, its quarries ;and quarrying, its waterways and transportation facilities; in fact, she has been expert and capable in as- sembling all the things and materials 'from which we have grown to our present position as a splendid nation j of ingenius people. J We can reasonably claim right to the title of leader in many of the na tional and international affairs and from the progressive disposition of jthe past we might reasonably contem i plate perpetuity as a people but with !out some extra precaution, some spe jcal effort, instead of continuing a strong and accomplished race, we will become so weakened in our phy sical forces as to bring to ourselves the liability of early degeneration and decay. Need of Resistence. To perpetuate the American nation we must have special resistence against the inroads' of disease and the liabilities of increasing limita tions in our living accomodations. Our combat with influenza showed how incapable we are of positive re sistence. Were this not true we would not have sacrificed nearly 300, 000 of our citizens through the mor tality list of influenza. Ninety years ago the Hawaiian Is lands had a population of 132,000 na tives. The race seemed capable of meeting all of the exigencies of cli mate and such afflictions as they had to bear m all of the affairs of their life, with a fair prospect of reason able longevity as a race. Today they represent a people numbered by 21,- COO pure Hawaiians and 19,000 mix ed. This is due to the fact that they became the subjects of tuberculosis, venereal disease, drug habits, imper fect and unfavorable sanitation, and a total lack of physical upkeep. Be lieving that the missionary was ca pable of caring for them they became indifferent to the natural actions and practices of their people. They were spoiled by the extension to them of rights and privileges which they had never had before, and because they took no precaution in the mainten ance of their physical manhood, they have succumbed to the inroads of dis ease and today are almost an exter minated race. America today is big and strong and may well assume to itself the leadership and protectorate of the affairs of the world. But unless we are able to maintain a continued re sistance, unless we develop some na tional system of physical mainten ance by which we can improve our longevity and decrease our mortal ity, we will not be able to continue the commandership to which we are justly entitled. In fact we may sub ject ourselves to the same disastrous consequences that came to Hawaii's population. Cause of T. B. Men and women resist disease by the strength of their own physical capacity. Without physical strength they yield much more readily to dis ease afflictions. That is why today we are showing such a large percentage of cases of tuberculosis. With all of our experience and the observations we have taken, with all the rules and regulations of protection so far as in stituted, the percentage of tubercular subjects in the United States of America continues about the same. This would be very different were we more powerful physically. For these reasons and many others which might be enumerated, I wish to em phasize that fact that if America is to remain in the vanguard of nations, then it is very important that we es tablish a broadcast, universal plan of physical improvement. Comparatvely America holds fifth place among the nations of the earth m physical vigor, and since 55 per cent of our children do not go be yond the fifth grade in our public schools, it is self-evident that if we are to be in the vanguard of nations, we must adopt some general, sys tematized plan of physical develop ment, and at the same time bring about a system of education that will interest and attract our young people until we have elevated the standard of mental and productive competence far beyond its present status. To Build Leadership. The Department of Welfare now being arranged for by the present ad ministration has in mind the creation of a system that will provide the way and means to overcome our present deficiencies, for it contemplates in its divisions of education, health and so cial service a combination of influ ences which will bring the American citizen to a different understanding also to more effective action in behalf of such advanced measures as will guarantee to Americans the contin ued leadership of the world.
