The mail service to and from the soldiers in France comes in at times for criticism and complaint, but it is well to remember that the task is a gigantic one and that the deliveries both of transport across and of de­ livery in France are clearly great. Eventually the mall service will be I improved, through the amount of mail going across will be greater, be­ cause American genius can cope with the problem if sufficient brains and energy are applied. The importance of overseas mall is manifest and there must be swift and certain com­ munication between trench and 1 r~ home if the morale of the people at home and that of the soldiers over there is to be maintained at par.— News-Reporter. Oswald West says that if Senator Pierce is elected Governor, he will run the state on the present Income. Governor Withycombe says he cannot do It. Perhaps if we elected a gover­ nor on that platform and with this object in view he could get moral support enough to make good. We ought to have a governor who could maintain a sufficient guard about the penitentiary to prevent eight es­ capes in one week, with two others attempting and not succeeding, but coming mighty near it. But perhaps it is just as well. The convicts all come back, and it does not matter much to them whether they are out or in. The absence of any fear of cap­ ital punishment and the certainty that their sentences will bq rebated makes life comparatively easy in the antiquated bastile. Telephone later.

The authorities in Washington con alder it important in dealing with wr international relations that means should every poesible ^e used to show our sympathy with Italy in order to counteract the Insistent German propaganda in that country. Which represent America as nordid and indifferent. The facts, of course, are far otherwise. We are not unappreciative of the splendid valor of the Italian armies, we know their brilliant achievements, we know the sacrifices which Italy has made for the common cause in this war, as we know her heorlc and successful struggle for freedom in the past. We know, too and respect the solid worth of the thousands of Italians who have found home and citizen­ chip in America. In view of these factB. we cannot be too liberal in recognition of Italy's part In the war and in expressing our sentiments gendrouely at all times, Italian nat- tonal celebrations and the Italian flag should have their place In our heart* always beside our own.

The great prlng of- Tensive of 1917 did not interrupt the spell of dry weather which accom- panied it, and there is nothing to show that more rain has fallen in proximity to the battlefield than at considerable distance from it. Where the amount ot gunfire increases or decreases with the amount of rain, casual observers have confused eause and effect. The coincidence is due to lack of facilities for observation, or the reverse, and not to the effect of cannonading upon the atmosphere.— Oregonian. ----- o----- Democratic newspapers are making capital out of the statement of Os­ wald West that if Governor Withy- combe cannot meet slate financial requirements under the 6 per cent limitation law the Democratic can­ didate can. Naturally, and of course. Sounds just like Os, but like other Osisms it sounds good, but ain’t, Governor Withycombe has been chief executive for nearly four years and possibly knows something about Btate finances. He has been on the job since staples increased 100 per cent in cost and since war demands have hade heavy inroads on the treasury. Just what experience as being gov­ ernor has his Democratic opponent had, and has he been able to keep his personal and business expenses from increasing more than 6 per cent since the war began? If he has, he is wasting time in seeking to become governor, for he can stick to business on a 6 per cent increase in cost and save enough on personal expenses to aspire to greater things than a mere governorship. If he hasn't kept with­ in the 6 per cent limit in his own af­ fairs how does he expect to do so in the big job of running the state of Oregon—a job, by the way, which he will have to learn in the unlikely event that he gets it. Promises are the cheapest things in the world, and the oldest political trick is the can­ didate’s promise to keep public ex­ Delivering the penditures down, goods is another matter, especially in Oregon where expenditures are based on a system of gradual increase as requirements developed. The man on the job is the only one who knows the requirements and the outsider can do little more than guess. He might plan to close the penitentiary, turn the patients at the state hospit­ al loose, move the capital to Port­ land and turn It into a tenement to help out the lack of housing facili­ ties, but if this isn’t Os plan he will have to keep them open, and it can’t be done right for the old cost.—Hills­ boro Independent. Which Is The Profiteer? ------ O— Three hundred choice hogs raised in Eastern Oregon bring their owner $19.15 a hundred in Portland mar­ ket. We are glad to see the farmer get a good price for his hogs but wonder how much larger a percentage of profit he made at this price than the much discussed packing companies made on their business. Its easy to say a man profiteers simply because he does a big busi- ness and such accusations seem to be a popular pass time among a certain class of politicians but who ever heard of one of these agitators being honest enough to state the price paid the producer for his hogs and com­ pare the profit with that of the pack­ er. Cheap meat and record prices to the farmer don’t travel together.— Telephone Register. Compiling Caiualty List Big Job. Complaint is heard that our casu­ alties iu fighting are not reported fully and promptly. But are not the complainants impatient and unreas­ onable? It Is a task of great and peculiar difficulty to ascertain the numbers and names of the killed, missing and wounded after au engagement has been fought. The military authori­ ties are more desirous than anybody else can be to know as soon as possi­ ble and as accurately as circumstanc­ es permit how the score stands. But there is bound to be at least a degree of confusion after the battle, the commands are scattered to some ex­ tent, the territory in which they are distributed Is quite a bit of ground to cover, and it takes time to call the rolls and tubulate the results. Iu case of the American units there also Is the additional difficulties that some of them ure brigaded with the British, others with the French, and that it must take more time to sift the American from the French and the British casualties. General Pershing sends the lints of casualties as speedily as they can be forwarded and also be correct. His well known efficiency creates 0 presumption that he is as prompt in reporting them as are Haig of Eng­ land and Petain of France and that the American public receives the re­ ports as soon, making allowance for the distance of the United States from Europe, as the French people or the English people. Allowance must also be made for the difficulties of communication. The reports have to be transmitted from the field to some telegraphic center in France, then cabled under the Atlantic and finally telegraphed throughout the United States. This would be a complicated process in time of peace, and is more so under the stress of war. When it is re­ called that the officials In charge of the lists of casualties must above all be accurate, it will be seen how futile it is to expect complete records of losses on the night or the morning alter a battle. Spokesman Review. PERILOUS TRAVEL. German Train» Creep in Darkness, Fearing Air Raids. ------- o------- Special precaution against air raids are now being taken on the German railways In those districts especially liable to aerial bombardment by the allies, says the Railroad Age. The Palatinate railways, in particular, are adopting precautionary measures and a writer of the Lokal Anzelger, who recently traveled on this system describes the darkening methods ad­ opted at night. For hours, he writes, the train traveled "as though in a dark cave, without lights, without conductors, without any station names being called out when the train stops. When every lamp is extinguished throughout the countryside and the towns and villages, as though con­ strained by agony, have closed their shops, the journey oppresses one’s mind and is nowise reassuring. One goes on in uncertainty, facing dang­ er. "Everywhere playcards indicating how to behave during air raids, show that one is in the aviator’s territory. Slowly, very slowly, the train pro­ ceeds on its journey; in a river alongside the line one still sees the locomotive which, together with its train, plunged into the water on the occasion of a recent accident. A train, with broken windows—not a pane has remained entaqt—passes near us another train passes .all blackened and half consumed by fire. And on arriving at the end of this dismal journey, the first question heard by the traveler is “Will they come to- night?” ------- o------- Without Its Solace Men Could Not Stand Strain. - ----- o-------. I This war, a London paper points out, is the first great conflict in history which has been fought on to- bacco. In all previous wars the nations engaged have supplied their fighters more or less generously with food, equipment and munitions, but rarely with luxuries. In the present war public and private agencies have been working from the outset in all the belligerent countries to provide the soldiers with little “extras,” and the chief of these has been tobacco. To British soldiers almost uncount­ able millions of cigarettes and hun- died tons of pipe tobacco have been sent duty free. But despite these enormous shipments, the consump- tion of tobacco in the British Isles has steadily increased, The cost of tobacco has climbed from 12 cents to 4 8 cents a pound for the low grade dark America product, and a light China tobacco used for blending pur­ poses has jumped from 12 cents to 96 cents a pound. Anxiety and nervous strain insep­ arable from a great war are held responsible for the increase in smok­ ing at home. Testimony from the front is that without generous sup­ plies of tobacco, the men could not withstand the strain of continuous conflict. , England's chief source of supply is the United States, and the fear is en­ tertained heye that owing to the war’s possible interference with pro­ duction here and an increased home demand, the amount available for this country may be materially less- ened. Bonded stocks here are even now dangerously depleted owing to decreased imports. France and Italy, with less exten­ sive sources of supply, have spared no efforts to meet the tobacco need of their soldiers, and the same is true I of Germany. The London press Is speculating whether it may yet become neces­ sary to institute some system of to­ bacco rationing for those smokers not engaged in productive war work. More than 300,000 women are at present engaged on land in Great Brittan, compared with 91,000 last year, according to Roland E. Froth­ ers, president of the board of agri­ culture. "We have increased the arable area of the country by 2,142.000 acres,* the minister said. "The wheat urea increased 752,000 acres, barley, 158,000 acres, and oats 735,000 acres We have not neglected crops for live stock These crops have increased by 280,000 acres. Potatoes have increas­ ed by 217,000 acres, an increase of 50 per cent, or 27 per cent above the highest on record.” The position of the allies with re­ gard to food, subject to the harvest being an average one, said the min­ ister. was decidedly better than in 1916 and 1917.

Father LeMiller will make his first stop in Chicago. He has taken a three months’ vacation from his local par­ ish and will spend the time at the battlefront in Europe, doing the good he so well knows how tq do and if occasions arises will continue his vacation indefinitely. -—Beaverton Times.
