had been unable to uggc-t n hotter

"To assert that river and hnthor

Southern Oregon's Protest
(From the Salem Capital Journal.)
Just as a hunch to the politicians
it Is Euggestcd that they put in a lit
tle time studying tho election re
turns from southern Oregon, and they
mny learn something that will be of
use to them In 19 1C. It will bo rc
mombored while conning this llttlo
lesson that southern Oregon has been
practically without recognition either
in fUato or federal offices so long
that t hai heroine sort of understood
among politicians that she neither
wants nor deborves nn thing. An ex
amlnntlou of thu otea for cougresH
will disabuse tho mlnd-polltlcal of
this Idea. Tho republicans of t.outlu
ern QroEon wanted tho nominee for
congress at tho last election, but they
did not get him. Tho democrats put
up a Coos Hay muu, who v,iib llttlo

WASHINGTON, Doc. 0. For the
first time in munv enrs tho house
naval committee today conducted in
public its iipjirinx on the naval bill,
which already has nMiincd the nn-
luro of a general inouiry into effii
iencv nnd seneral conditions of the

Hear Admiral Fletcher, comman
der of the Atlantic fleet, in a general
statement, defended the dreadnought
as the greatest weajwn of nnxnl war
fare. "The Ktiropcan wnr has not dem
onstrated," snid Admiral Fletcher,
"that the battleship is any less valu
able in naval warfare than hereto
fore, or Hint it is not still the main
fai'tor in finally determining a con
flict. "The submarine undoubtedly is a
valuable ndjuiict to a navy. The de
fense against the submarine has not
yet been fully developed. One de
fense against the submarine nlrendy
developing is the nirhip."
The admiral gae it as hi opinion
Hint great naval battles would con
tinue to be decided, in tho main, by
battleships .

"Even though the war should last for
