OUR SENATOR

Geo. R. Wilbur, who represented
Hood River and Wasco counties as joint
senator in the recent session of the
legislature, made record of which his
constituents are proud. Senator Will
bur has never been man character
ized by any affectations or playing to
the gallery. He has always pursued
the even tenor of his ways. When Sen.
ator Wilbur introduced the bill prohib-
iting the ownership of land by aliens,
he was accused by some of making a
play for political notoriety. But we
believe that Senator Wilbur was mis-
judged by those making such criti-
cism. He was expressing a sincere
conviction. Yet Hood Rivers state
senator, when it appeared that the
alien land bill might hamper the ma
tional administration in its foreign
diplomatic relations, displayed wisdom
and withdrew this bill. Senator Wilbur
is not possessed of foolish obstinacy
that so often hampers public men in
their actions.
Some few, when Senator Wilbur was
candidate, opposed him because of
his political affiliations. But all join
today in expressing the opinion that
Hood River and Wasco counties and
the state of Oregon could not have
been better represented than by Sena.

Gibson on Salaries
Hood River, Ore. March 7. 1917.

Hood River, Ore, March 7, 1917.
To the people of Hood River county:
The genial editor has asked the writ
er his opinion on the present county
salary tangle and he has donated bit
of space for an answer. Talk of in
creased salaries has given the COM
munity slight shock. A little confer
shock may aid in recovering poise.
The county superintendent of schools
should be on full time. The county
superintendent is not pleased with his
work because he is doing in a small
way what might be large work. OF
course he could quit; but he is not 60
ing to do that just yet. He is going to
try to prove to the people Of Hood
River county that the possibilities in
the Office are SO big and vital that some
good strong educational leader-man
or woman, should work at it all the
time.
There is little word - DEMOC-
RACY-with which some of US toy at
our leisure. 1t means that the people
at large shall determine public officials,
public salaries and public policies.
The people of this county have fixed
the salary which this office shall carry !;
and while the present incumbent is in
office that shall be the salary until
there is some evidence that the people
wish to haven't changed. The present
spirit Of retrenchment in this county
is born of stern necessity. The citi.
zens of this valley are publicly gener-
Gus. The spirit in which school funds
are voted in all districts-large and
small-marks all localities as broad
and generous in support of public
institutions. The people elected the
county superintendent, the people pro-
vide the tax money, and it is the right
of the people to say what he shall re-
ceive. Sincerely
L. B. Gibson.

The RIGHT WAY

On Friday of next week the Bend
Press will appear as weekly, the
field it has chosen as the proper one in
which to render the best service to the
city and to Central Oregon as news
paper.
Any paper to have an excuse for ex-
istence must render service.
The field for rendering this service
s not to be found in the daily field,
where six wild-eyed reporters rush
Historically about, covering the con-
gested district of the city, about six
blocks, in search of the latest bit Of
news, which will travel faster by
word of mouth than through the even
ing paper, and farther, too. 1t is not
to be rendered in giving dinky ac-
count of some momentous event of
worldwide Importance few hours be-
fore the arrival of the metropolitan
dailies,
1t does consist in faithful account
of the news of the community merely
as permanent record of the event.
1t does consist in telling the hopes and
aspirations of the people of the city,
in order that others may be inspired to
greater action. 1t does consist in per-
sonal service, meeting with, and hav-
ing time to understand, and to assist
in solving the problems facing the citi-
zens and the community.
This service the Bend Press will
have time to render.
With this issue the Bend Daily Press
passes into history.
Living with it has been an active
exercise.
The above is the editorial explana.
tion. in the Press itself, of the cessa-
ton of publication of the Bend Daily
Press. 1t conforms to our own beliefs.
Because of its value as a direct confes-
sion, We reprint it in full.

LET SENATOR LANE RESIGN

IF the people of Oregon do not want
me to work for them, viii quit. "
Such is quotation from Senator Harry
Lane in Washington news dispatch.
1t seems that it should be evident to
the tilibuster that he is no longer
wanted.
The protests against Senator Lane
are marked by their general spontan-
city and unanimity. He is called a
traitor and devoid of patriotism. His
constituency expresses disgust and an
ger, and their United States senator is
repudiated. If Senator Lane is sincere
in his above mentioned expression, he
will certainly lose no time in rendering
his resignation.

SENATOR LANE

which has adopted strong resolutions
in denunciation of Senator Lane, "if ]
thought the recall would be effective.
This is the sentiment expressed by
scores of men,"
District Attorney Derby declares that
Senator Lane, under the circumstances
should resign and that the governor
and legislature, in special session,
should provide for special election to
name his successor.
while | believe that every member
of congress, in the face of the grave
crisis. should have stood behind the
President says Mr.. Derby, Senator
Lane is entitled to his opinions and the
right to express his conviction. If he
had permitted the armed neutrality bill
to come to a vote and had then voted
against it, he would not thus have won
my disrespect and contempt"
But because Senator Lane lent his
aid in defeating the ends for which
congress is provided and, as Judge
Derby asserts, thus bringing the gov
ernment closer than ever to war, the
district attorney voices reputation
of the senator's action.
Assembled at patriotic meeting
Monday night in celebration of the sec
ond Inauguration of President Wilson,
the members and friends of Asbury
Methodist church to the number of 400
expressed unanimously their approval
of the actions of President Wilson in
denouncing the fiilbuster that prevent
ed final congressional action on the
armed neutrality bill. And the church
people just as unanimously expressed a
reputation of the act of Senator Lane
in lending his aid to the filibuster
movement.
Addresses were delivered by State
Senator Wilbur, Judge R. c. Glanville,
formerly a member of the Nebraska
supreme court, and Attorney John Ba-
ker.

OFFICIALS EXPRESS
OPINIONS ON BONDS

While both say that they desire to
make a more thorough study Of the
road bonding act recently adopted by
the legislature and referred to the
people at. the special election Of
June 4, before they decide finally to
support o, oppose the act, County
Judge L. N. Blowers and Commissioner
Edward Hawkes. at present express
themselves as favorably impressed
with the bonding bill. From the stand
point Of residents of Hood River county
both men declare that no more could
be asked than is provided for in the
bill.
"At first thought, says Judge
Blowers, 'the bonding act seems to
me a good thing. While ! have not
given its provisions thorough consid-
Grafton, it does not seem to me that
the sum of Sc, 900, 600 is any too much
for the state Of Oregon to use in the
construction of highways, and we have
a need for better roads.
'At the time Hood River county
voted bonds in opening the Columbia
River Highway from the Multnomah
comfy line to this city we were given
to understand by state officials and
others that we would be called on to
pay out no more money in the con-
struction of the scenic route. The
bonding bill is so made that this prom
ise is made good, and this is a thing
that gratifies us here in Hood River"

Sc, 900, 600 will not build the roads pro-
posed.

after the bond issue gives out. How
far will the Sc, 900, 900 go toward con-
