BAKER, Publisher. Editorial Sap Shots. Hoovcrize, yes Hooverize. Well Hooverize on the waste attending so many holidays in the public schools. ------ o------ A large number of Christmas and New \ car s cards were sent out this year bearing the trade mark “Made in Germany. ’ 1 hese cards should be canned if you have any of them in your possession. W e didn't know w hether it was the proper thing to report that we had secured 2500 ’wits" for the Red Cross. Anyway, it was impossible to make the weather any wetter during the drive or find a “dry” Red Cross booster. Now don’t complain because rain has fallen in considerable quantity and with considerable force the past three weeks. It is a hundred per cent better weather than the howling bliz zards thVy have had in the cast and the middle west. Did you ever observe that Tilla- inook County never had any failures to amount to anything. A crop failure is unknown, and when Tillamook County was called upon to go over the top in the Liberty Bond drives, A . M. C. A. drive and the Red Cross drives, there was no failures. there is a good deal of gospel truth what I he Oregon V oter says about the Portland Journal: "The Journal tears down. It does not build up. It is stabbing Portland for the sake of glorifying itself among thoughtless people as alleged champion of the people’s Protestant chudches of his city would get together one or two pastor» would lie sufficient. This is a good oppor tunity tor the member» oi the L. B. church to go over to the M.E. Church, tor there never was any need or necessity to build that church and maintain a separate church organiza tion. It was a waste ami continues to he a waste, and a burden on those who have to support it. ------ o------ Business men who tail to adopt a cash basis of doing business are starting the new year wrong. Now is the time to cut out the credit business with its attending losses. \\ Iu n peo ple go ino the postoffice and want stamps they have to pay cash, or go to the express office with a parcel they expect to pay cash, or buy a ticket at the depot they are prepared to pay cash. Now if the businessmen who think they can’t run their busi nesses without giving credit will con sider that other businesses have no trouble in doing a cash business, they would have none themselves if they adopted a cash policy. No one ever heard of mail order houses giving credit, neither should any business man in this city in the future. Some people contend that the Unit ed States is not fighting the German people, but simply the kaiser. W e are not only fighting the kaiser, but the brutality of the German soldiers who have committed the most horrible crujies in history. If United States soldiers were ordered to commit the horrible crimes the German soldiers are permitted and ordered to carry into execution, they would refuse, and revolt, and they would show their humanity by doing so. But here is the contract between two countries. Ger man people consider nothing too cruel and horrible to inflict on their en emies and German soldiers take a de light in killing and torturing people, and we consider the German people are just as guilty as the Kaiser, so it is foolish for any of us to think for one moment that wc are not fighting the German people who permit and appear to take delight in committing horrible crimes. FAMILIAR WITH GREATNESS. th* It la Not in Evant, but a Mere Matter of Everyday Duty. A story told by Francis A. < olllns in i the Camera Mau show» that tlie direct , meth' <:» oi the Am ricaii news pie t"g- rapber are i. t a le ted by .» i-round- I iiigs that i..-t_lit cause otlieis to grow self ci.nsclou.i A newspapei assigned an American I to make a portrait of Generul von : Hissing In the palace in Brussels. The , photographer applied for permission to Hie authorities at Berlin, who received him cousteously and, after consider able formality, detailed an officer to accompany him to Brussels. Au ap pointment was made, and the two were admitted to tbe general's room. Pre viously, however, it had been explained to the American that under no circum stances was he to address the general. The utlii er begun his explanation, but became confused at (hiding biniseli face to face with so distinguished a personage. "Your excellency,” lie began, “we have come from Berlin—that is, if you will be so kind"— lu his confusion he came to a full stop. General von Blssing was seated at a desk and seemed to be very busy. The American photographer stepped for ward. "General, I am an American,” he be gan without embarrassment. “I see that," said tbe general, with a smile. "I have come to take your picture,” the photographer added without waste of time. The situation was unprecedented. Tbe officer stood aghast. “Very well,’’ replied General von Blssing. “Go ahead, What do you want me to do?" “If you will step to tbe window,” "Now the photographer explained, step this way, a little farther, please. No; this way.” And to the horror of the attending officer the photographer laid his hand on the general's arm and arranged the pose. The picture was taken In a few seconds. "Thank you, general.” sakl the un abashed American easily. "1 hope your picture turns out well,” replied General von Blssing, and the interview was over, Once they were outside the door, the officer expostu- luted: "How did you come to address his excellency ? It is most unprecedented. And you laid your hand on him. How could you do so?” “Mein Heber freund,” said the Amer ican, "I have photographed three Amer lean presidents, and a general more or less is nothing to me.” Our navy is crowded with men who will face uuy daugei Some years ago one of our lMlttleal>i|» was on tbe bat tle range, w ith Innis of powder »towed in her turret» to save lit»-- in loadiug and tiling the gnus. A spark got to tile bags of powder. There were an ex plosion and a tire. Directly under neath was tbe handling room. Burn ing pieces of cloth fell trom the tunet down into the handling room. The crew of that handling room could have Jumped into the passageway, made their way up a ladder and so ou to the free and safe air of the open deck. \\ but they did was to stand by to stamp out what fire they could. Leading from the handling room were the magazines. The doors of the mag azines were open. Men Jumjied into tlie magazines and buttoned the keys of the bulkhead doors so that there would be 110 crevice for sparks, tn doing that they locked themselves in. and once in they bail to stay iu. Above them, they knew, was a turret full of men and officers dead and dying. They knew that tire was raging around them, too, and that the next thing would be for the people outside to flood the mag azines. The magazines were flooded. When things were under control and the doors opened the water iu the mag azines was up to the men’s uecks. While that was going on below decks in the turret were other men and offi cers, including the chaplain, not know ing what was going on below and ex pecting every moment to be blown up into tlie sky. But there they were, eas ing the last moments of the men who were not already dead. Thirty all told were killed in the turret. All concern ed behaved well, but no better than they were expected to behave. A few years ago there was a destroy er off Hatteras. It was before day break of a winter's morning in heavy weather, A boiler explosion blew out her side from well below the water line clear up through to her main deck Men were killed by the explosion; oth ers were badly scalded A steam burn Is an agonizing thing, yet some of these scalded men went back into that bell of a boiler room and hauled out shipmates who, ro their notion, were more badly burned than themselves. One such rescuer died of his burns. The hole In the deck and top side of that destroyer was twelve feet across, yet her commander anil crew got li»r to Norfolk under her own steam.
