Writing to a friend in Portland
Ella Wheeler Wilcox states she
¡"would like to sleep the war out.”
' Poor, old Ella is over in France "as-
i sisting" in the war and before she
gets through inflicting her sob junk
on the nation many others will be
wishing she had been able to have
had her will fulfilled.—Examiner.
The Eastern mail order houses
have not been very patriotic in ex­
pressing their catalogues to Oregon
to be mailed here in order to get ad­
vantage of the first zone rate. The
government, now controlling the ex­

express rates on these catalogues
are raised.—Woodburn Independent.

Russia is still in ignorance regard­
ing the trend of events on the west­
ern front. The brother of a Minneap­
olis educator, who is in Baku, writes
, that he is unable to come to America
at this time because “Germany has
won the war."—Telephone Register.
DRUGGISTS.
The fire at the coal bunkers, fol­
lowing upon other fires in sawmills
and forests, proves the necessity of
close guard and careful selection of
employes with a view to exclusion of
the disloyal. Many men who were
openly pro-German before the United
States declared war have suddenly
assumed a pretense of loyalty; they
need watching to see that their acts
square with their words.—Oregonian
------ o------
At some points, so we are told, the
Yankees passed forward so eagerly
in the pursuit of the Germans that
commanders had to send runners—
in one instance an airplane—order­
ing the victorious doughboys to “hold
back and keep the lines straight."
And these are the soldiers the Ger­
man leaders said could not fight.”—
Observer.
Motorcycle road policemen in Yam­
hill county may bring to time those
motorists from the big city who
think they are beyond the reach of
the law when a few miles away from
Portland paved roads. Road police
would lessen the deterioration of the
surface of the roads because the fast
moving car pulverizes everything
over which it passes and then sucks
the gravel out of the road. Road po­
lice would make the highways and
main traveled roads safer to travel
for the average man.—News Report­
er.

The other evening two men stood
in front of the Itemizer office and
conversed for several minutes in
German. Both of these men can
speak English fluently and could
have understood each other perfectly
in the language of this country.
There was no excuse for them using
the language of our enemy country.
If the German-speaking people of
this country will come to a realiza­
tion that German spoken in public
places is an offence to the ears of all
patriotic Americans, they will be
more readily win and retain the re­
spect of their neighbors and remove
the suspicion that fills the minds of
some as to their loyalty.—Itemizer.

The editor of the Kent (Wash.)
Journal has this bit of Solomon-like
advice for his subscribers, It isn’t
bad. Here it goes: "A dollar bill may
carry to its receiver the vilest infec­
tion, It is a sponge that takes up
filth and disease germs from every
hand through which it passes and
from everybody with whom it comes
in contact. We hope our delinquent
subscribers are not holding back
their dollar bill for fear they may
carry some contagious disease to us.
If they are we assure thew we are
safe, having had the mumps, woop-
ing cough, measles, scarlet fever,
small pox, and a variety of other
diseases. So bring along your dollar
bills, and we will give you a nice
clean receipt for them.”

Nothing can be gained now by dis-
cushlng peace terms. Germany is still
arrogant and insolent. Her rulers
have not grasped the spirit of the
war on autocracy. They won’t see It.
They will have to feel it. It will have
i to be shot into them by Allied guns.
All the world knows what we are
I fighting for. The war must go on un­
til we have won all that we sre
fighting for, which, in essence, is the
right of all the people everywhere
on earth to the right of life, liberty
¡and the pursuit of happiness, unmo-
i lested by any two-legged men who
I claim to rule their fellows by divine
1 right. Until the German, kaiser un-
I derstands that—until it is pounded
| into him and all his family and all
I his associates and all other autocrats
¡everywhere, nothing can be gained
I by discussing terms of peace.—Tele-
' phone Register.
Uncle Sam took over the supplying
of common labor on August 1 and
the program will be extended to
skilled labor as soon as possible, The
idea is to protect employer and em-
ploye and also to cut down unneces­
sary and expensive labor devoted to
the manufacture of non-essentials.
The necessity for control and equal
distribution is shown by the fact that
in the east it is common to see ad­
vertisements in the newspapers, say
of Detriot, for labor to go to Pitts­
burg, while In the Pittsburg papers
there may be advertisements for la­
bor to go to Detriot. Under control
there will be an end to migration of
1 labor from one point to another and
it will be distributed according to
the needs of the various sections.

more workers.—Independent.

The occasional evidence of cold
febt regarding the coming Liberty
Loan is to be regretted. A sure way
to fall down on an undertaking is to
figure out iu advance that it can't
be done, and that is what a few
Washington county people are doing
about the county’s quota in the loan.
Some of the cold-footed ones are say­
ing they have given all they can af­
ford. Perhaps they have and If so
the excuse is good, but It canuot be
offered as an excuse as long as they
have one idle dollar knocking against
another. They should remember that
there are several hundred thousand
Americans in France and in the
army at home who are not in the ser­
vice because they could afford it.
There was a job to be done and the^
started in to do it rgardless of the
sacrifice and inconvenience, and
those who remained behind are in a
poor position t<5 arrange matters ac­
cording to how it may affect their
former routine.—Independent.
Agriculture has contributed its due
share of man power to the army—
perhaps no more, certainly no less.
Other industries that have contribut­
ed man power to the army have re­
cruited man power from the farms.
Despite this disturbance, the farm­
ers this year increased their produc­
tion over last year, which was an in­
crease over the year before; they
have worked more days and more
hours and have put their families at
work; women have labored lu the
fields while their babies slept in the
shade ot nearby trees; many coun­
try children have labored while
many city children have played. The
farmers cannot continue to increase
production in the volume needed and
at tlie same time send more man
power to the army and the city in­
dustries. It would not be fair to re­
quire it, if it were possible to ac­
complish it. The only source of labor
is the useless service of the cities—
able-bodied men employed for luxury
or mere convenience and at tasks
which women can perform. The crops
are not all gathered; next year’s crop
are to be considered; food produc­
tion must not fail. What are we go­
ing to do about it?—Umpqua Valley
News.
Confidence in John D Ryan's state­
ment that 50,000 Liberty motors are
in sight is confirmed from his re­
fraining from naming a date when
thy would be completed and by his
record of doing whatever he sets out
to do. He is not a man who talks
grandiloquently of what he Is going
to do; he does it and then lets the
achievment do the talking. In this
respect he is a contrast to his over-
optimistic predecssors. Nor does he
name any paricular number of air­
planes as his mark, as did the en­
thusiasts who
predicted
20,000
American planes in the air by July 1,
1918. As a plane may have two,
three or even four Liberty motors,
his promise of 50,000 of them may be
taken to imply somewhere near 20,-
000 planes, perhaps within a year.
That he will apply all his energies
and his great organizing ability to
that end may be inferred from his re­
mark that “I have begun to feel
from the bottom of my heart that we
are going to win the war in the air."
To build enough planes and to train
enough men to win the war in the
air is a gigantic undertaking, for
Edwin Bidwell Wilson says in the
Yale Review that "it seems to be the
experience of the French that be­
tween forty and fifty men on the
ground are needed for every fighter
in the air." At that ratio 20,000 ma­
chines would require a force of 800-
000 to 1,000,000 men. Tremendous,
sustained effort will be needed to
bring our air force to that strength
a year hence.—Oregonian.
County Press Roast Editor Jackson
of The Portland Journal.
Many columns have been published
by the Portland Journal in its attack
upon the country press for its illegal
padding of the delinquent tax list
and other legal publications, but it
outdoes anything any country paper
has yet accomplished in its devilish
inconsistency and greed when its
own profits are involved. As an or­
dinary example of this take the au­
ditor’s report of Multnomah County
as published in its issue of July 20th,
which was spread out over 141 col­
umn inches of space with a 5-inch
triple column black head with cor­
responding sub heads and a multi­
plicity of leaders lost in a sea of
while space designed to fill the page
which, according to its past reason­
ing, could have been condensed to
less than 50 inches. And this is only
a sample of its great interest fn the
welfare of the dear people and its in­
tense desire to protect their financial
Interests from the alleged encroach­
ment of the damnable buccaneers of
the “up state” press. To be consis­
tent with its past utterances and in­
dicate a real desire to practice hon­
esty it should have set the example
and practiced as well as preached.
Had it done this and set its state­
ment In as a condensed form as was
done by the papers which bear the
brunt of Its unreasoning anger it
might have retained at least a glim­
mer of respect from the royal pirates
of the country press. But the Journal
Isn't built for that purpose, it is
Iconoclastic in Its methods and desire
to destroy what o'hers have created,
and is In no way particular how it
accomplishes it. If it can detract at­
tention from its own unclean gar­
ments by alleging xraud and theft in
others
u„uuly mission has reach­
ed its beginning. With this purpose
in view it is determined to extermi­
nate its country rivals; to dictate
what they will charge for their work
and to set the price so low that they
cannot survive, and, fulling in line
with the cubical-headed Hun, pur­
poses to make might right, and with
the wealth of its publisher is using
its money power to inflame the pub­
lic mind so it can dictate to the peo­
ple and belittle the usefulness of the
couuty publisher. Through its pub­
lisher it seeks to establish power lu
the temple of Jagannath, and de­
pends upon the credulity of its wor­
shippers to adopt its false doctrine
and to smite those with the rod of
malicious lying wuo dare go contrary
to its dishonest teachings. Both of C.
S. Jackson's initiative measures that
will appear upon the ballot this tall
were conceived in hatred of the
country press and brought forth in
the venom ot his abomination. His
sole desire is to pose as a dictator of
the people—to emulate the glorified
record ot the twin across the sea—in
which soughl-for exalted position he
should meet the same-fate at the bal­
lot box as the American boys will be­
stow upon the Hunnish twin.—Sher­
idan Suu.
Flour and Meal Prices.
----- °-----
Complaint about the cost of meal
substitutes for wheat flour woulcj ap­
pear to be justified, judging from the
price reports made by the U. S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The in­
crease in the price of flour has been
far less in proportion to the increase
of the price paid for wheat, while
the price of corn meal has advanced
far out of proportion to the price
paid for corn grain.
The prices set forth below are for
July, 1914, and March, 1918. July,
1914, was the last month preceding
the great war, while at the end of
March, 1918, our country had been
in this war a year. The prices are for
bushels of grain and barrels of flour
and hundredweights of meal. The
prices are from the government re­
port, the percentage computations
being our own:
Persent
1914
1918 Increase
Wheat .... $0.90 .. $2.17 .... 142
Flour ....
4.59 . . 10.09 .... 120
Corn....................... 71 . . 1.73 .... 144
Corn Meal .
1.61 .. 5.50 .... 241
There has been some feeling that
flour millers were profiteering. The
flour figures indicate the reverse.
Apparently,
however, the prices
charged for substitutes represents u
heavy increase in margins during the
war period.-—Oregon Voter.

Six Billion Loaned to Allies.
American loans to foreign coun­
tries now exceed $6,000,000,000. Our
people naturally feel interested in
the standing of these financial ad­
vances to Belgium, France and other
of our allies, and many persons would
like to know whether and when the
American government will receive
repayment.
There seems to be but slight likeli­
hood of the United States in the near
future receiving the "money’ again
that it has loaned and will yet loan
to those countries. But notice that
word "money" It is not "money” in
the strict sense of the term that con­
stitutes these loans. They ars credits
much more than cash. The "money”
loaned consists almost entirely of
American credits placed at the dis­
posal of the foreign governments to
enable them the more easily to buy
American goods, and for these they
pay at the present profitable prices.
The loans in effect are tran'actions
of bookkeeping. But the produce's
of this country get the benefit of he
foreign buying, and the governments
allied with us have the benefit of
the credit and endorsement of the
American government.
What America lends now will
eventually be recovered through thi
sale of goods in excess of the amount
we had formerly exported abroad.
We shall yearly have a surplus of
exports whose value at least equals
the interest on the "money” or cred­
its advanced to our debtors. It will
be a long time before their indus­
tries will have been restored to the
normal basis and thus enable them
to repay the principal or any consid­
erable portion.
It is not outside the bounds of pos­
sibility that some part of our foreign
lending will have to be written down
on the national ledger as a long-time
investment of American
capital
abroad. This would not necessarily
be an economic evil, for it would
tend to Improve our international re­
lations in commerce and finance and
increase our Influence.
The recovery of our advances to
the foreign governments will be
largely conditioned by the recupera­
tive power and prosperity of their
peoples. In order to regain any con­
siderable part of our advances to
them we shall have to help them re­
gain their lost ground and develop
commerce upon the new basis of mu­
tual community of commercial Inter­
ests.—Spokesman Review.
