clergymen niul physieinns.
.InliiiH 0. Lay, tlio American consul
general in Berlin, hns returned here
from a viit of inspection to tlio oui
ocn prison camp nt Torpuij Saxonv.
Ho says that the officers, with sol
dier us their servants, run their own
mess, of which the Frenchmen, with
traditional Gallic culinary bkill, have
taken charge. The officers, piny ten
nis and football, but are not permit
ted to have liberty in thb town. The
general commanding explained thai
this was because the nuti-Kuglnnd
feeling was so high he feared that the
llritish officers would be mobbed if
they left the limits of the fortress.
The German feeling toward the
French is found far different than
lownrd tho HritWi. The consul wit
nessed mi example in n French sur

the escort of u soldier, an accom

"Remember! he is not yjmr pris

Sou him safely to the Swix frontier

The price of meat, as of oWier staples, will continue to

enable the marketing of surplus foodstuffs. It is to the
production of these humble but profitable crops that the
orchardist must turn his attention.
To fruit raising should be added poultry and hogs.
There, aiv some 110,000 pounds of live poultry shipped
weekly the year through from the middle west to the coast
states. There are many carloads of eggs. The war will
supply a bettor market in Europe than the coast for these
products, leaving the coast to coast producers.
As with poultry, so with hogs. There are not enough
hogs raised in the west to supply coast demand. Con
stantly ascending prices insure large profits with markets
handv.
The local orchardist should

DR. WITHYCOMBE'S CITIZENSHIP
INVOCATION regarding Dr. .lames Withyoombos
birth and citizenship being carefully eliminated from
tho official pamphlet issued by the secretary of. state, the
Portland Oregonian -undertakes to supply the deficiency
as i'olfews:
Young Janics Wlthycombe cast his first vote, nfter becoming of age.
In 1S7G, for Rutherford 11. Hayes for president. It was discovered In
18SS that thero was an Irregularity In tho naturalization papers of Mr.
Wlthycombc'a father, and to niako assurance doubly sure, as to himself,
ho mado a courtVccortl of his own naturalization,
Mr. Wlthycombe baa lived forty-three years In Oregon, lie has voted
Oilrty-olglit years, or more. Its Oicro a better or moro consistent Amer
ican citizen in tho state?
But where was James "Withycombe born? "Why all this
mystery? Why hide the fact that he was born in England?
Why did James Withycombe vote in 187G before be
coming' naturalized, rind vote at every election following
until 1888, without being naturalized?
Why did Jaitics Withycombo wait until ho sought pub
lic office before becoming an American citizen?
The federal court records show that James Nithy
combc renounced allegiance to Queen Victoria in 1SS8 and
was admitted to American citizenship before Judge
Beady.
is it the part ot "good citizenship .to vote lor twelve
vcars without beiiig a citizen?
PROGRESS VS
TMIAT the republican party litis become the party of
- reaction was apparent at the last national election.
That it is still more reactionary today is without question.
' As Theodore Eoosevelt says, the republican party of
today has nothing in common with the republican party
of Lincoln's time. As a matter of fact, the two parties
have changed positions. The democratic party was then
the party of vested interests and privilege, "and the repub
lican part)' the party of reform, progress and humanity.
Under Woodrow Wilson, the democratic party is be
coming to the nation what tho republican party was in
Lincoln's time the instrument of national regeneration
and reform. It is to strengthen Wilson's hands and enable
him to carrv out his constructive policies that he is appeal
ing to the people of Oregon for the return of George E.
Chamberlain to assist him in the senate.
In no state in tho Union is the republican' organization
more completely in the hands of tho reactionaries than in
Oregon. Booth, MeArlhur, Ilawley, Withycombe, till are
stand-patters and believers in special privilege, and gov
ernment by political machine. All tire distrustful of the
people and hold the Oregqn systchi in'contempt
This election, like so many others held recently, is not
a struggle between parties, but for principles. It is the
age-old battle of progress versus privilege and in Oregon,"
as iu the nation, the republican organization of today rep
resonts privilege.
