ABOUT THE BIG DRAWING THE POWER OF THE PRESS - RECOGNIZED BY DOCTORS (Corvallis Ga'-ette-Times) This column had a comment or so the other day on professional ethics as ap plied to advertising. The next week the THE DAILY CAPITAL .lOl.h'N'AL Is the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is Audit Bureau of Circulationi. guaranteed by the WANT THE NEWS STRAIGHT Secretary of War Baker seems to have become imbued with the idea that the Americans need to have their news censored, that in addition they need to have it flavored so as to tickle their palates. This was shown in the highly colored story given out by George Creel, a magazine writer, as chairman of the committee on public informa tion, a committee that really has no existence other than that given it by the secretary. Mr. Creel evidently imagined he was writing a magazine story for the edifi cation of his readers, instead of dealing with a news story, wheh any news reporter could have told him was valuable only as it adhered to the truth. As a magazine writer Creel wrote to please, while a cub reporter even, would have known that that kind of stuff had no business in the news columns, that number. As it is purposed to draw the entire lot it will require about 2,000 drawings. After these are made the boards of exemption will commence with the number first drawn and go down the entire list until the number required are selected. Exemptions will be passed upon as the names are considered. After the required number is obtained, the exemption boards will not act further un less in case of appeal there should be .a shortage, when they will commence with the7 number drawn f ollowing the last selection, and make a second drawing sufficient to make good the loss by exemptions on appeal. It is ex pected the drawing will take place next week, as most of the states have reported as being ready. The latest plans as to the draft as stated in the dis patches yesterday provide for drawing the men in such a way that every number taken from the box draws 4,559.

" Prov ing of course the power of the press! This recommendation is a decided step towards the revising of the profession's rode of ethics that for years has been a weight around the neck of the most reputable physicians. . Never before hag a state association committee decided to recommend so wide a departure from the beaten path. The committee, headed by Dr. L. Hyl- vester ioodiuan, of (.omnibus, an nounced the opinion that "proper ad vertising" in the newspapers is legiti mate and would benefit both the profes sion and public. "The general opinion of the laymen consulted," the report says, "is that the medical profession too long has hidden behind the mystic wall of medical ethics." The report emphasizes the point that physicians m-jst pay for their adver tising.

The American citizen is man's size, and is not stampeded by disaster or frightened by defeat. He is only stirred to more heroic efforts. He wants to know the truth and all the truth about such things as can be told without danger to the boys at the front, or to some act to be per formed hv the authorities. He does not demand to know all that is going on, but he does demand, and will insist on his demand being complied with, that sucn news as is . .11. 1 A i. 1 11 U .l.uinUt TJrt id given out by me departments Biiau ue suaiguu part of the government, the individuals like Secretary Baker who think he should be kept in leading strings, deriving their power- and pJace from or through him. " Creel made a very readable story out of a submarine attack on the fleet carrying the Perching forces to France, and the only trouble with it was that it mostly happened in Mr. Creel's perfervid imagination. Mr. Baker nor any other in authority need not fear for Americans when some disaster such as sinking a trans port, happens as is very likely, for he will learn the only effect will be to stir the country to a whirlwind of energy, and to crowd the recruiting offices to capacity while taking the strings off every pocketbook in the land. , With all the editors of the state at Pendleton there should be a few really good issues of all the papers. The devils will have a chance to get rid of many bright ideas . that have been disturbing their brain tanks, and the in tellitrent compositors can play their little pianos undis turbed. The fact that the editors are in the care of Pen dleton folks removes any fear they may go hungry or suffer from aridity of their individual and collective thoraxes. Pendleton always makes the fellows who put their feet under her mahogany feel like they owned the world and had just taken possession. The National Educators will end their convention in Portland tonight. They have met, told each other and some other folks what they know about some things, and will return to whence they came leaving a profound still ness, and a great void behind them. They were entirely too deep for the average citizen to sound their proceed ings intelligently, but if they had a good time and en joyed their visit, all of us will be delighted, and really mean it when we say come again when you can stay longer. General Chang Hsun has refused the advice of the foreign diplomats in Peking to disarm his troops and quit, and will fight it out with the "republican armies in the streets of Peking unless he changes his mind. Un less he does change it, the chances are he will soon be left with no mind to change. . -The head that wears a crown is said to be uneasy, and this even if it wears it by brevet.

The time was, within the memory of the present generation, when the medi cal fraternity advertised right and left. Then what were proprly regarded in tho profession as quacks carried the thing to such interminable lengths that the more sedate practitioners got their heads together and formulated the pres ent code of ethics, which precludes all manner of advertising.

It was on this same stream the battle of Hohenlinden Was fought, made immortal by the poet Moore, and now made doubly so by the bravery of the sturdy English soldiers. It might be a good plan to send a delegation of I. W. W.s to Washington and turn them loose in the senate. There would be at least one satisfaction in this and that is that the balance of the country would care but little as columns. I which proved the more worthless. Still the wise Sport in The English leaders started into the war with thisi h ld be t t place hig simoie0ns on the senators. There is a great similarity between the two aggregations for neither will work, while each i3 a great stickler for "my rights." The English papers are having a hard time trying to explain the meaning of the expression in the new song which is said to be growing popular since the Amer icans have "arrived," of "canning the kaiser." One English paper gravely tells its readers it alludes to the fact the Americans would like "to put the kaiser in a can and fasten the lid ' on tight so he could not get out." Wouldn't that jar the popcorn off a Christmas tree? It seems that Adjutant General White and the depart ment at Washington did not use the same methods in arriving at the number of troops the state would have to furnish, and instead of 9:3 as General White estimated it, the state will have to furnish 717. However with. this increased number Oregon is still at the head of the list as having furnished a larger part of her quota than any other state. , .,,, KYI 11 if .WALT tM MORNING EXERCISE I like to rise at early morning, and walk nine miles, the sluggard scorning. For when the day is young and tender, the world is a place of splendor; this, planet, as the morn ings, show it, would make of anyone a poet. I walk long miles through dell and dingle, and meadows where the wildflowers min gle, and in the woods where birds are call ing, and vales where shining streams are brawling; and when I'm tired, beneath a cedar, I sit and warhk', gentle reader. 'Tis J'W then I find my inspiration and punch my TiSCXj J x l ,tu nation. AnH from this early walk returning, to ray abode of song and learning, I find the missus has been stewing a lot of grub, and coffee brewing. And every morning I'm re peating my stunt of plain and fancy eating; for walking in the dale and dingle, and meadows where the wildflow ers mingle, admiring nature in her splendor, and hearing birds of every gender that celebrate the woodland's beauty in tones melodious and tooty the morning ram ble, all informal, gives one an appetite abnormal. And if I am a soulful poet, at breakfast time I do not show it. It seems to be the open season for I. W. Ws. all over -the coast. Reports from Arizona show the hunting is bet ter there than at any place so far heard from,; Before the season closes Uncle Sam's soldier boys may take a hand in the hunting. REAL PLEASURE IN OREGON (Eugene Register) An automobile tourist, one of a party passing through Eugene, made a remark the other day that rftimmarizes tinusnv ally well the attractions of tho Pacific ' northwest as a summer playground. I "In California, "'lie said, "we traveled I two days without finding a single tree I under which we could make our camp, i iuiis me pleasure or onr nights out is coming to be legion, Is looking for pleasant and comfortable surroundings. tie does not want to be broiled in the day timo and compelled to camp beside a not ana ausry road at mgnr, tie need fear none of theso bugaboos in western Oregon, and when this fact comes to be generally known we may expect the number of automobile tourists here to grow amazingly. California is the na tion's winter playground, but in the summer the traveler must come north if he would enjoy his trip. TRENCH TALES "I've, seen a Bocae who really un derstands the war, "' declared auj Eng lish officer, recovering from 'a bit o' shrap' iu a field hospital. "X was wounded when we captured him and he carried me for half a mile. 'This war is the greatest crime the world has ever Henry and George Gould and Hetty Green's son, three wealthy bachelors have had their trenches stormed by the Amazonians of these modern days and each of them sur rendered. In the cases of the Goulds it was, or is, rather easily accounted for, but what kind of barrage fire was used by the Chicago lady to break down the defenses of Henry Green which had stood for nearly thirty years, is a mystery. - The drafted Oregon soldier will be a curiosity, and a real rarity. The whole lot would not make a single full regiment. Now is the time for a few hundred young Ore gonians to make a record for themselves and the state by enlisting and stopping the draft. As arranged at present every number will be drawn so as to have the matter done with should a second call be made, but it would prevent any Oregonian being called into service at this time.

In Oregon, though, we have had no such complaint. Beautiful camping places, located for the most part beside wonderful streams, are everywhere." The automobile tourist is looking above all else for beautiful scenery, and at no time does he want pleasant surroundings more than at camping time atj'ight. Everyone who has trav eled the open road in the summer knows this. The discomforts of a day 's travel can be completely wiped from the mind at night by a delightful camping place, located beside a swift, clear stream and with plenty of timber near. If cool, tim- oereu mountains, wrapped in the shim mering haze that is one of Oregon's perpetual charms, are near, no unplcas- ed, ' ' that is what the Boche said. ' Tho crimes of the beasts who are running Germany today are unspeakable. They were thieves and brigands when they started the war but now they're the bloodiest murderers by wholesale, the world ever produced. They know per fectly well they've lost the war but they are frightened of their own miser able skins to admit it and call a halt; and because they are frightened of what the people might do when they learn the truth, they keep the thing going and sacrifice many thousands of (ieimans every single day, just to shield the reputations of a handful of princes and politicians. Here on this front our people are being killed like flies. Your aitillerv kills them in bunches. Our bullets in their backs. They are driven like dogs to the fighting.

LADD & BUSH. Bankers Established 186S CAPITAL $300,000.00 TRANACT A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS SAVINGS DEPARTMENT All tliat Germany is able to say concerning her crops is that "they are as good as in 1915," which is an admis sion that they are very poor, for that was one of the 'worst crop years in Germany's recent history. At the ; same time England reports her crop is slightly below the ayerage. William Maxwell, general manager of the Edison com pany stated yesterday that "Edison may soon become the most important figure in the nation.''

Almost every day I went down to the hospital for an hour: usu ally taking some delicacy. Everett was doing as well as could be expected so the doctor said, but his appetite was poor and he seemed to enjov what 1 brought beter than the hospital food. Little Tom was getting to be such a big boy. la some ways be was less care, more in others. I was awfully proud of him, and so was Tom. He was very mischievous, and it took a great deal of Surah's time to look after him, so leav ing more of the housework to me. 1 ex pected another addition to our family in tho spring, and was already wonder ing if it wouldn't be better to move again and get a larger apartment, om probably would have "another raise by that time, 1 figured, and we might move further down town. I had met some people who lived near Central 1 ark, and I had ever since been plan ning to live near them. The park would ne such a safe place lor Norah to take Tom Jr. to plav. 1 had argued again with Tom about the money he sent his mother and yielding to my wishes he had written her asking her once more to live with us; but she had refused so decidedly, that 1 knew Tom would never ask her again. I did not realize at the time what it might mean to have another constantly in mv home; or how wise Mother Randnll was to refuse to Jive with us. February First T had been very miserable for a week or two. so much so that I had gone here save to the hospital oecasion- I had ordered evervthtng over tli phone, so that my bills were larger than they were when Peggy was with us. loin nad given me the titty dollars to pay for my rose colored dress with the remark: "There! Sow you don't owe any thing for clothes. And please Sue," he added, ''don't run in debt for things to wear again. Wait until I can give you the money. This working for a dead horse never appealed to me." Now was my time. Had I been of stronger fiber I should have told him of my debts. But 1 hated to quarrel, and also 1 feared he would in seme way stop any credit I might have. So I took the fifty and said nothing. Bimble's bill came in after he left for the office. I had added considerable to it in January, so that I owed them nearly sixty dollars. A few of the things 1 could have told Tom if they had been on a separate bill. But he was a bit curious at times; and once or twice had asked to see house bills, so 1 didn 't dare say anything about them. I would tell him I must have certain things, and save the money he gave nie toward the bill. I never stopped to think that I was treating Tom unfairly, that I had no right to do as I did." Also that it was making me deceitful and dishonest. One little lie seemed to lead to so many. I had not been an untruthful child, or young girl, but that I was becoming a deceitful, nntmthful woman, there could be no doubt. I did not realize t however until later. Insinuating Kindness Carol Blacklock had been more than kind to me. Another thing about which I deceived Tom; rather another thing which I did not toll him. Flowers, fruit. and bon bons were frequently sent mc. Altho no card was enclosed 1 knew who sent them. Then too. ho would occa sionally call me us and sav he had an err?na, in 0,,r vicinity, and might he call. Always I gave him permission, but noi. always did I tell Tom. He migh russ, and as long as I knew I lad ao thought of wrong, what was the use saying anything about it. Tom was out a good deal now. Since taking the position of manager he seem ed to have wry little time of his owa. lie occasionally spent part of an even ing at the hospital talking over some business matter with Air. Crandell; but oftener he remained down town with some out of town iisines man so he said. I was not satisfied when he told me this: I remembered that night when the stenographer had been one of the party, as a companion for Tom, and I resented his remaining out. Perhaps that had something to do with my will ingness to receive auentiou from Carol Blaeklock. I don't know! I am not try ing to excuse myself however. I liked a good time; I liked nice things. He was very willing to give me the good times and whenever I spoke of any-thing-i wanted, but couldn t afford, he urged me to get it. Your husband will surely allow yon to have thus and so, whatever it hap pened to be, and I, foolish and wicked ly extravagant, would immediately plan some way to get the desired article of clothing. That Carol Blackloek was deliberate ly urging nie on to do this I never even dreamed. I had lived in Sew York three years, but beeanse of mv limited acquaintance, and Tom's ideas, I was still little wiser in many wars than when I came there a bride. (Tomorrow A reason for uahappiness)
