THE ALL-IMPORTANT PROBLEM
Till' PORTLAND TELEGRAM rails attention to the
fact that a proper system of drainage Will convert
the Willamette valley into the richest aprieiiltural area of
similar size under the sun. "Within the boundaries of the
valley lie 3,(XM),(X)0 acres of agricultural land," two-thirds
of which could 'he -doubled in productive power by drain
age. That, in effect, would be adding 2,000,000 acres at
the present standard of production to the ' agricultural
lands of western Oregon. The Telegram laments the fart
that nothing has been done by the people of the Willam
ette valley to take advantage of then' opportunity, and
laments the lethargy and lack of progress shown, " i "
The Willamette Valley, tho much larger, is not Us fer
tile, not as prolific proportionately as the Rogue River
valley, which has superior soil and climatic resources.' In
the Rogue River valley the one thing needed to make it the
richest and most productive valley for its size on the coast
is water yet but little progress has been made in solving
the problem. ' ':''"'
The necessity of irrigation here is self-evident.' One
has only to compare the yields of irrigated and non-irrigated
tracts. One has only to walk thru the orchards and
alfalfa fields of the watered and unwatered tracts to real
ize that the water is worth as much as the land, much of
which, without the water, is valueless. ' " ' '
We expect sloth and inertia in the Willamette valley,
where ultra-coiitservatism has always successfully fought
progress. We do not expect it in the Rogue River valley,
where the people have led the state in progressiveness.' '
The Telegram says: "There is really no excuse for in
action or for the lack of public interest in this great con
structive work to be done in the Willamette vnllcy.' ; Tlte
reward to be gained by the people of the valley, by the
people of the state, is ample." Likewise there is no ex
cuse for continued inaction upon irrigation in the Rogue
River valley. ' ' ' '" " ' "
,;' We have all experienced the bitter fruits of lack' of
water meagre yields, crop' failures, depreciated. values
and hard times. The remedy lies in our own hands; If we
have not sense enough to apply it, we deserve the results,
for in tho Rogue River valley, as ye water, so shall ye
harvest. '' ' ' r ; " " "
ROOT AND
17 LI11U ROOT has alwavs
polities: Robert M. La Follettc has represented pro
gressiveness. Hence the Mail Tribune opposed the forincr
and supported the latter. . . '
" Now, however, the country is at war and' patriots have
forgotten partisanship. Greater issues are at stake :thah
local politics the existence of democracy, the life of the
nation. He who places petty partisanship above patriot
ism is a mighty poor American.
Root has honorably represented his country iii Russia
and shown that he passesses a high type of patriotism as
well as the sympathy for the oppressed that distinguishes
a true democrat. Real Americans are proud pf him. La
Follettc has proven th,at his sympathies are with the en
emies of his country, with the autocracy whose creed is
the oppression of humanity and hence is a fake democrat.
Real Americans are ashamed of him.
As Mr. Root, the conservative statesman, saj's: "As
sure as the sun rises tomorrow, if this war ends with the
triumph of Germany, our people will be a subject nation
of the German ruling nation." Yet we find Mr. La Fol
lettc using his position and influence to oppose needed war
measures, to create division and discontent at home, to
keep the nation from prosecuting a vigorous and success
ful war and doing what he can to aid and comfort the
enemy, lie could not do more if in the employ of the
kaiser. No wonder he is heroined by German sympa
thizers. La Ft die tie's course has chagrined and astounded his
supporters, alienated his following and blasted his future.
All the excellent work he has done will be forgotten and
only his sedition remembered, for
Tho evil that men do lives after them,
' Tho good Is oft interred with their bones, j .

SALE OF HONORS
LONDON, Aug. S. A lively discus
sion arose In the house ot lords last
night on alleged scandals connected
with the distribution of honors. The
Henri of Selborne, calling attention to
tho bestowal of honors In return for
contributions to party funds, moved
that hereafter tho reasons for rewards
should be published and the premier,
in recommending recipients should
satisfy tho sovereign that no payment
or expectation of payment was asso
ciated with tho recommendation. The
house came to no vote on the subject
Supporters of the motion, Including
Huron llerosford and Karon I'harn-
wood urged the adoption ot the Amer
lean system ot auditing nnd publish
lug party funds,
Baron Berestord sold that a large
portion ot the money went not Into
party funds but Into the pockets of
those who offered the honors for sale.
lie added that this war would be fa
tnous for the large numbers of honors
anil awards betsowed upon people
who had foiled disastrously.
Karl Carson, government leader In
tho house of lords, admitted the grav
ity nnd Importance of the subject, but
thought tucru was exaggeration.

, , Th full social, power of (ho. 70,
000,00(1. jwoplo organized ''in the
churches and their auxiliary . soci
eties, is one of the lutant resources
the nation has lonif neglected.
: Ju these organizations there is n
capacity for teamwork, a moriil pur
pose closer to tho life of the people
than any political institution.
From the church to the home ore
channels of communication' tho gov
ernment docs not possess.
To harness these forces to food
conservation is the first step in the
program of co-operation between the
government and the churches: This
work has been intrusted to Georgo A.
Cullen, railroad man of New York,
who has eome down to' Washington
to put it over. ; , : ; . . . .
He has met the representatives of
nearly every .religions denomination
and mapped put a plna by wliich the
churches nro to keen up the enthusi
asm for food saving, and keep tub
on the actual results in every home.
: 1 lends of the young people's or
ganizations, the denominational ex
ecutives und accountants, the relig
ions publishers and others hnvo come
to Washington to link up tho gov
ernment nnd the religions forces. .... ,
While church co-operation in food
conservation is the first practical
step, it is only the beginning of the
churches' work, i ,
The first cqnorete tiling is n sys
tem of weekly reports from house
wives, .to bo handed in to the
churches when the plate is passed on
Sunday. Tho . accompanying report
blank will be supplied i by ' every
church to nil its homes.
These weekly repoi'U .will be for
wnrded to denominational headquar
ters, tabulated and forwarded to the
secretary oi u national loou rcpon
committee, appointed for 'each de
nominntion. The results will lie sent
to the food administrator nt Wash
ington nnd published.
Every pnstor, priest or rnbbi will
put his full personal appeal behind
the movement, and the rivalry of the
different bodies is expected . to in
