There does not eoni to lie any outward po litienl activity except, ninon n IVw enndidates, who urn advertising their eluiuiH mill their promises extensively in tlio ncwspiiperH of the stale. The people of Oregon do not look with favor upon this lavish use of money which has now been going on for n nuinlirr of months. They think it could he belter spent in buying Lib erly bonds anil nidins; the Hcd Cross nnd other war nctivitics. There is n good ileal of ipiicl think ing unil talking, however, (filing; on limine; the people, which will show it self at the primaries. Our people arc thinking about the war nnd the best means to win this terrilile struggle and make the world safe for democracy. The people are looking for efficiency in public uffairs. The people of this great state are going to retain in of fice those representatives who have vigorously supported the government in the prosecution of Hie war. The republican parly dcintinds al this time thai trained ami efficient men, who have supported Hie gov ernment, in the prosecution of the war should not be supplanted bv other republicans, who arc untruinci! nnd inexperienced in national 'ilTnirs just, Ik use thev arc ambitious ami make good promises. The American people rightly demand this of every party. Service to America is first nnd foremost. Jn the prosecution of Ihis war, time is all important.

A TIN STAR confers no jtrivilcgc upon an officer of - tun law to vjoiatc the constitutional rights ot the in dividual. J)epu1 v sheriffs on the Siskiyou have been labor ing under the delusion that they tire autocrats ot the uni verse and that interstate touring implicates the commis sion of a crime. No other explanation can lie offered for the insults and injuries heaped upon travelers whose only crime is a trip over the boundary Jine. The prohibition law lias made hypocrites and law violators out of !)0 per cent of the populace. Prohibition laws always have that pleasing effect just as all sumptu ary legislation that attempts to revolutionize human na ture by the passage of a kaiser-like edict. Human nature is changed by evolution, never bv revolution but hysteri cal fanatics refuse to look the facts in the face. it is now against the law to manufacture or sell Honor. yet thousands of families have turned law breakers and are making their own beer and wines. The more strictly the prohibition law is enforced, the more private breweries there are. And when the distilleries are allVlosed and stocks of whiskey are exhausted, we will have thousands of private stills turning it ous. as thev do in the south Jo search the person of an individual or his private properly, a search warrant is necessary, to secure which the officer must swear to his belief in the commission of a crime. JJut this lormaJitv is ignored bv the Siskivon of ficers, whose duty is to stop the boot-legging traffic and not harrass the innocent, individual. It is time, these of- cers of the law, learn something of the law. WAR HYSTERIA. STAMPEDED by war legislation, the city council has ordered 1 ho fencino' of the fit-v veiiniiviii. ...wl in.

The contention is as absurd as the remedy is futile. The reservoir park is the only point about Medford where the tourist and visitor can be conveniently taken and given a birdseye view of the beaut ifu1 panorama of the Medford valley, with its checkerboard of orchards, grain and alfalfa fields, its smiling yeruirc clad hills and forested moun tains, lis jagged, picturesque skyline a view that remains stamped indelibly upon the minds of visitors. Its closing means the loss of one asset to the co mnitv. iH'iicing the reservoir will not prevent, noisonino- the water supply, if any one has such evil intentions. It would not he done in daylight, in any case. It could still be done it night at the reservoir or by day or night at the intake anywhere along the 2 miles of wooden pine, or in the many miles of creek and hike above the intake. It is misspent, energy and a waste of public nionev (hat cannot accomplish the ends souirht. U. S. SOLDIERS LONDON, May 13. Tho American Invasion of London" Is tho feature of tho morning newspapers toiluy u It was on Sunday. Tho most critical military experts aro loud in Ihclr prnl bo of tho flno lienrliiK ot tho American troops who paraded thru tho Ilrlltsh capital Snturduy. One writer sums up tho general opinion In this way: "Tlioy have tho cut of an Infernally ailnquato lot ot fighters. I would rather lend them than taeklo them." Newspaper nrttcles nrc, illustrated with photographs of different stnKes of tlio inarch, an Important plnco be lli t; given to tho si'Ono outside lluck IiikIkuii pnlaco with Klni; lieorKe stundlni; bcsldo Colonel Whitman and tmlutltiK tho American fins'.

In physique nnd morale thuy nro equal to Die flnost troops raised by nny country at tlio time when tho standard of liuropenn mun power stood at Its highest point." The nirryliiK thru of tho Ameri can effort, tlio MornliiK I'ost thinks, menus the turuiiiK of the scale amilnst the enemy. (Jermany, It says, never made a more profound or ratal mistake than w hen she held the pow er of America to bo cheap. "The Unlscr ami bis uilvlrers," snys the Times, "have broiiKlit (onether the Kimllsh-speakliiK peoples more closely and more rapidly than the fondest dreamers after more Inttma'.e relations between them hud dared to hope. That Is an Immenso event In the history of tho world anil the new. II Is the creates! that has linn-I pencil eecpi the war itself, since the I'rench revolution. "The lesson for 1'iiKlniid nnd ; America is plain and there Is abund ant proof that both understand II. We lime to stick 11 out and the Amer icans have to hurry up and they arc tuirrylii!: up splendidly." TEACHER ON TRIAL FOR SLAYING WIFE OF HER BELOVED WAl'KKSIIA, Wis., Slay X A liuttlc of psychologists nnd alien ists ccnU'riiii; about ti moral eodo de vised by ii country school teacher was forecast by attorneys at tho opening today of the trial of Aliss (iruee Lusk, accused f slyin Mrs. Newman Kob ers, wile (if Ir.

In these letters Miss Lusk, who was at the time of the tragedy, was a schoolteacher, wrote : ''The passing of a husband's affec tion lor his wife is a sufficient an nulment of any tnarriaire vow. ''The so-called respectable women ignore the loss of a husband's love to live a life of case. "TIiosh who truly love must be brave enoiiuh to sland together before a eolil world which is hitter against nnytliinir it cannot understand. ilidinsr a real love is the only sin that is why I feel I have sinned."

Pn- Don't Let Catarrh Drag You into Consumption Avoid Its Dangerous Stage. There is a more serious stage of Catarrh than the annoyance caused by the stopped-up air passages, and the hawking nnd spitting and other distasteful features. The real danger comes from the tendency of the disease to continue its course downward until the lungs become affected, and then dreaded consumption is on your path. Your own experience has taught you that the disease cannot be cured by sprays, inhalers, atomizers, jellies and other local applications. S. S. S. has proven a most satisfac tory remedy for Catarrh because it goes direct to its source, and re moves tho germs of the disease from the blood. Get a bottle from your druggist today, and begin the only logical treatment that gives real re sults. You can obtain special medical advice without charge by writing to Medical Director, 27 Swift Labora tory, Atlanta, Ga. Mr. Charles Dclin Is at I'rlucvlile.

Believing that the supremo obligation he owes his country is to help win the war. Senator McXary, Instead of returning to his State to conduct a political campaign, Is at his post In Washington working for Oregon and aiding In the prosecution ot the war. Always since entering the Somite he has been a friend ot our soldiers and sailors and has introduced legislation giving them preferential homestead rights nnd repeatedly championed their causo when their welfare was In Jeopardy. Chumplonlng the cause of the Oregon farmers, Senator Mc- Nary procured tor them a primary wheat market, saving thereby several million dollars to the whealgrowcrs ot the North west. ltealizlng tho present Food Control Law falls to tlx prices for many commodities. Senator McXary has introduced, and Is laboring for the passage of a bill, striking nt profiteering and fixing prices on the necessaries of life.

' IT'S UP TO YOU j.. 1 " j ' j.i. u.miiu-i'w V 4 4 XV Mm J " as 1 R.N.ST ANFIELD , REPUBLICAN ' For United States Senator Robert Cx. Stanfleld'S pbmlnatlOU showing that Oregon has been die- for United States Senator In the E ininate1 iBSt- but Mr savs he takes no stock in the state publican primaries, May 17. will mean ment ,hat 0reso haa been dlscrlml. two things nated against." ' . 1 The belief of the people ot Ore gon that this state has not received the recognition at Washington to which it Is entitled and that there is a demand for a square deal. 2 The Republicans do not want the Democratic boss to dictate in the Ropubllcan primaries and that Re publicans prefer Stnnfleld, a 100 per cent Republican, rather than a 50-50 Demo-Rep., nominated by tho Demo cratic boss. Do you want a wide-awake,' ener getic man with Initiative and red blood to be Senator, or do you want a "man asleep on the job" who In troduces bills and permits them to sleep in committees? A man who knows Oregon and Its needs and who has force and confi dence to demand results will quickly make his mark In Washington and thru him Oregon will receive tho rec- iognition so long denied this state. Such a man Is Robert X. Stanfield. S. B. Huston, in withdrawing from tho Senatorial contest, made the, fol lowing statement: . "I have a very strong conviction that Oregon has been discriminated against by the National Government In many ways. Mr. Stanfield shares this feeling and promises, it elected, to correct it as far as lies in his pow er to do so. Senator McXary denies that any such discrimination exists. He was quoted In a dispatch from Washington to the Oregon Journal as saying that he 'took no stock in tho statement that there has been dld criminatlon against Oregon.' Qf course, if he believes there has been no such discrimination he will make no effort to remove it. What haa Oregon received except such business as Had to come here because material could not be fur nished elsewhere? Oregon furnishes Bpruce, but the airplanes are not manufactured here. I Oregon haa received a few con tracts for wooden ships, because the .timber Is here, but look at the wood en ships contracts that went to the South and tho Atlantic coast! And for many of these Southern ships Oregon had to be drawn on for large timbers. Mora than 20,000 Oregon boys aro In tho service, but (hey all were fent to cantonments in other states (or training. Oregon responded quickly to ap peals for food conservation, but the wheat growers of Oregon were penal ized 20 cents a bushel for living in this state Many other Instances could be cited Do you want these conditons to continue, or do you want them reme died? If yon want results, then send Stanfield to Washington. Five lawyers represent Oregon at Washington. Why not elect a farm er, stockraiser and business man for a change? Do lawyers have a mo nopoly of all the loyalty, patriotism, wisdom and knowledge In Oregon? Why does the Chamber of Com merce pay a special agent a Sena torial salary of $7500 a year to re main at Washington to look utter practical matters for Oregon If some one Isn't "asleep on the job" or. ft Oregon Is not discriminated against? KM) l'or Cent or SO-50 Per Cent? Republican voters should settlo their own party affairs In the pri maries without the interference ot Democratic kaisers. ; A clean-cut party Issue Is present ed to the Republicans of Oregon. It is in the hands of the Republicans, themselves, whether they want a Re publican Senator or a Demo-Rep. Sen ator. ,. , Stnnfleld Is 100 per cent Repub lican and has been elected as such three times to the legislature. McXary, bis opponent, has a pen chant for holding office, but has nev er yet been elected to on by the people in fact, he was defeated the only time the people ever got chance to vote on him and he baa been as willing to seek appointment to political jobs from Democrats as from Republicans. The Democratic boss appointed McXary to the supreme bench and ' is now trying to make the Republi cans nominate his friend and col league for I'nited States Senator. If McXary, the protege ot Oswald West, Is nominated, then the Republicans can say "good night" to the Republi can party In Oregon for years to come, for West will be In power aed have his triend at Washington. Here is the question for you, Mr. and Mrs. Republican Voter, to settle. It Is a strictly party matter In the primaries. Do you want a genuine. ,100 per cent Republican or a 60-60 Remo-Republlcan, with the latter In dorsed and advocated by the self-appointed Democratic dictator? IF YOU WISH TO MAINTAIN TUB RKPUI1LICAN PARTY, YOU, MUST VOTE FOR STANFIELD, (Stanfield Senatorial League, SOS Northwestern Bank Bids;., Port ' land. Ore.) (Paid Adv.) . fc.j'ji-
