COMMUNICATION
To the F.dilnr: The primaries will
lie held next Friday, May 3 71 It. 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. Senator Charles l
McNnry will soon complete two year
of service in tin' Coiled States sen
ate. IT Mr. Slaiifii'ld should he
elected, I lie term for which he would
be elected, would not commence unlit
March 4, J SI 1 und the congress to
which he would be elected would not
heirin its work until the first Mon
day in December in Will, miles- the
president should call an extra ses
nion. Doing hi- best, it would proha
lily take him another vcur or tun to
(.ft acipiaiutcd with public affairs al
Washington. In other words, it would
take ul least three cnrs before he
eould ho as ellieniit as Senator Me
Kary is now.
Shall we wait three vciirs to train

Ordinarily it micbt do, but not at ih

REAL LAW VIOLATORS.
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

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."

"On every jndRO of flchtlni! man

American troops nuulo tho fiinio lui

when tho standard of liuropenn mun
power stood at Its highest point."
The nirryliiK thru of tho Ameri

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

"The Unlscr ami bis uilvlrers," snys
the Times, "have broiiKlit (onether
the Kimllsh-speakliiK peoples more

In the history of tho world anil the

TEACHER ON TRIAL

WAl'KKSIIA, Wis., Slay X
A liuttlc of psychologists nnd alien

forecast by attorneys at tho opening
today of the trial of Aliss (iruee Lusk,
accused f slyin Mrs. Newman Kob

The moral code compiled from let
ters Miss l.tisk wrote to Mrs. Hub
erts and which were admitted by her
at the impie-st, will be submitted to
a jury composed mostly of farmers.
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."
The trial marks the last chapter in
a tragic trianule. After a lonir friend

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

From the day ho became Senator ho has loyally championed
the prosecution ot the war, and during his term ot office has ac
complished more tor Oregon than any other member in Congress In
a like period, v
Among his colleagues he is knowu as "tho man on the Job," .
and during tho present war crisis Oregon should consider Itself for
tunate In having an opportunity to return him and not be compelled
to send to Washington a new, untrained man.
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.

Stanford university; Is a lawyer and farmer nnd has been a life
long Krpiihlh-an. Ho was formerly a Justice on the Supremo Court
and later chairman of the Stnto Republican Central Committee.
Spaco forbids further enumeration of the vast amount of work
Senator MeNary hos done for Oregon, but anyone will realize from
the foroiuilni: Hie Senator hos displayed truly remarkable ability,
coupled with extraordinary diligence and energy. Ills native state
can best show Its appreciation ot his faithful and efficient services

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,
