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.

The Physical Manhood of
the United States Is Weak
Army General Holds Nation,
Must Create Higher Stan-
dard to Hold Place.
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. All
countries that have developed power

Will Hays, former Postmaster
General, is already planning his new
work as director of the National
Organization of Motion Picture
Producers. As one Eastern editor
so aptly remarked, "He has left the
biggest business in the world to
build up the business which is go
ing to be the biggest." The picture
shows Mr Hays signing his new
contract at $150,000 a year. Stand
ing behind Mr. Hays is Courtland
Smith To the right is A. L. Rob
ertson. The insert below is of Dr.
Hubert Work of Colorado, first as-,
sistant postmaster under Hays, who
is expected to receive the appoint
ment to fill Hays' place in Presi
dent Harding's cabinet
compiishment, have done so through
m?&l2
i ier comes from conduct and the prac
tice of systematized policies of devel
opment are necessary for both.
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

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.
