HARDEN, A MAN OF VISION.

The New York World calls attention to the fact
that at time when free speech, free publication
and free communication are limited or suppressed
as to all others, Macmillan Harden boldly tells
Germany the truth. Sweeping away the whole
fabric of falsehood which a reptile press has
reared against the United States he proclaims the
necessity for entrance into the war, eulOgizes
the ideals by which inspired and calls upon
his countrymen ''to make their house habtable
and not an eyesore to the world. :"
In his assault upon the military autocracy, even
the emperor is left in doubt to the meaning
of Mr. Harden words. He pleads for democracy
as the one hope Of peace now and hereafter, for
liberty to speak and to write and, most significant
of all, perhaps, he demands new men in govern
ment headed toward the goal indicated by Presi-
dent Wilson" Finally he condemns Germany's
peace proposals as insincere and only an excuse
for relentless submarine warfare and, with his
mind evidently upon the War Lord, he declares
that peace must come on the responsibility of the
nation and not upon that of "any prince or
family
Noble and courageous as these sentiments are,
American must wonder why man only is
allowed to express them and what effect they may
have upon the German people Heralds of democ-
racy like Macmillan Harden not common in
any land but how does it happen that he has no
known disciples when it would seem that even ten
such men might be able to redeem a nation en-
shaved by drillmasters and war-makers' "Where
there is vision the people PERISH said Solo
mon. While Macmillan Harden lives, Germany
will not be wholly without vision.

THE CANNING CAMPAIGN.

OF equal Importance in the general food cam
paign in this country with the necessity for
creased production and for more direct and more
reasonable distribution is the conservation of our
food after we produce it, and this we can accom-
plish to surprising degree if we universally do
that which many families have done regularly in
the past, and all of us an increased scale-can
many fruits and vegetables at home, Surprise
will come in the quantity of foodstuffs, most Of
which would be otherwise wasted, that we can
make available as supplementary and sustain
ing supply during the fall and winter months, and
likewise will there be great benefit in the general
table economy it will permit
These are no vague theories-every housewife
knows of her own experience how grateful she
has been for supply of canned foods to
whenever she needed them even though the guam
tity was small Suppose we all adopted the prac-
tice and put up much larger quantity this year
lis it difficult to imagine the generally beneficial
effect throughout the country at large on the food
situation particularly if our market supplies are
to be drawn in great measure for European bellig-
erents and neutrals9
Heretofore, the plentitude and comparative
cheapness Of foodstuffs and of factory canned
goods the year round have combined to discourage
home canning, but the situation is going to be
vastly different next fall, is vastly different now,
in fact, and has been for several months: New
and more economical methods of home banning
have also been worked out, nation, state and
county are joining in urging our housewives to
join the conservation campaign and leader has
been appointed to cooperate with the women of
this county in it. We will be putting money into
our own pockets if we act upon their advice

Very properly and at the same timWfttingly did
the business men Of Olympia pay homage to the
leaders of its shipbuilding industry, at the ban
quet Wednesday evening. Likewise did they
demonstrate to these men how greatly interested
they and all the other residents of the city in
the welfare of the cty's new industrial establish
ments, and must have impressed upon them the
fact that the city as whole eagerly desires to
aid and cooperate with them in every way.
This the city does want to do, in the fullest
measure it can, and it sought through this ban
quet to give some testimonial of the fact. For
Olympians appreciate more than these builders
perhaps realized before, that those plants will be
of tremendous significance in their influence upon
the local business situation, constituting as they
do the largest Industrial acquisition in the city
history They are converting Olympia from po-
litical dollhouse into an industrial center of no
little prominence, and the business men of the
city, concerned with its present and the future
business welfare, know this and gave expression
to it the other evening.

oLYMPIA's PROSPECTS.

Steady substantial business progress oaseu Oh
an unusual industrial growth-unusual in respect
to its history during the past twenty-five years
growth which gives promise of gaining momen-
tum and producing new developments as the
weeks go by, is Olympia good fortune now
Certainly when one looks back upon the indus
trial acquisitions of the past two months and gives
heed to the plans of this character for the lmme-
date future, the foregoing is most conservative
statement of the situation.
The principal influence in this progress, OF
course, will be our shpyards and associated
plants those we have and the expansion OF them
and others that may be located here, but virtually
az important in Fastening the cty's forward
march will be the demonstration we have gwen
ourselves that we can get new industries II we go
after Them and the assurance and confidence porn
of that success In other words, we have dls-
placed the old, ''You can't do that with the new,
1--WE will" and the new determination will count
for much in the city s business advance.
We aren't watching Olympia grow any
more-we are making it grow and with the record
Of the recent months behind us and the conf
dence born of it, stimulated by the unusual de-
mand for the new products we are turning out,
Olympia is going to make record for itself dur
ing the next few months and years. The plants
already located here will turn out several million
dollars worth of ships every year. and that means
the expenditure of hugs sums Of money for labor
and materials and the addition of a considerable
population, and the beneficial effects can hardly
be estimated. Every trade and industry and
business will feel the stimulus, new ventures will
be undertaken, new industries established apd
local business generally be placed on firmer,
more substantial basis
Olympia g prospects look mighty good.

SENDING TROOPS TO FRANCE.

Secretary of the Interior Lane uttered pro-
found truth the other day when he told the gov
ernors' war council that eff we don't fight the
war on the other side we shall have to fight it on
this side of the Atlantic" His meaning is clear
the Allies need money, munitions and men and
if we do not supply Them if they should fail in
their task of overcoming Germany that nation,
victorious there, will meet us on our own shores
We supplying the Allies literally with
money and munitions and other supplies and will
of course continue to do so SO long as the war
shall last Approaching all this and grateful for
it, France also asks us to send small contingent
Of troops, twenty or twenty-five thousand, for the
moral effect that their presence and the presence
of the American flag the western battlefront
would have, not only in stimulating the Allied
soldiers but in depressing their enemies, and sig
nifying that the United States is into the war in
real earnest.

Newspaperman's Paper Soon To
Make Its Bow

University OF Oregon, Eugene, May
2S.-Publication of Oregon Exchan-
ges. a paper for the newspaper men
of this state, will be undertaken as
soon as material for the first issue
for which call has already gone
out is received. The paper will start
small and will grow as the newspaper
men make use of it, 1t is hoped to
make the paper a medium for ex-
change of ideas among journalists of
this state, for the publication of
news of especial interest to news
paper men, such as changes of owner
ship, personal moves of journalists,
big newspaper campaigns and any
thing else concerning editors, publish
ers and printers throughout the state.
The paper will carry no advertising
and will be distributed free to jour-
nalists and printers of Oregon. 1t
is hoped through this means to CO.
operate with the state and William
cite Valley editorial associations in
keeping the newspaper men of the
state in close touch with one another.
All the Oregon newspapers have been
invited to exchange with the new
paper and it is the aim of the pub
fishers to make every newspaper man
in the state contributor to the
columns of Oregon Exchanges, as
we'll as an interested reader.

FRED ESTEB SELLS HIS
EIGHT MILE RANCH

Fred Esteb sold his Eight Mile
ranch last week to Henry Peterson of
Heppner and Gooseberry. The sale
includes all equipment and stock
with the exception of four head of
horses. 1t is understood that Mr..
Peterson paid $50 an acre for the
land. The place consists of GAO
acres and is considered one of the
best in that section.
Mr.. Peterson is young man who
is just breaking into the farming
game. He graduated last week from
Heppner high school and if he makes
as good record farming as he did
as a student it is safe to predict the
highest success for him. His father,
Aaron Peterson, has been farming in
the Gooseberry section for a long
number of years. Two other sons,
Ture and Richard, are also farming
on big scale and Richard is also
quite extensively engaged in the
sheep business.

ANOTHER BULK GRAIN

The farmers of the Rattlesnake
district should be very much pleased
to learn that on Tuesday of this week,
Mr.. Pry let contract to the Tum-
Alum Lumber Co. for the construc-
tiOn at once of an up-to-date grain
elevator to be constructed at Whit
stran on the new branch of the N. P.
| The elevator is to be equipped with
the latest machinery for cleaning and
handling grain, also dump scales and
automatic weighing-out scales. There
! will be eleven bins for storing of
grain, the capacity to be $4,000 bu-
shells. The elevator is to be ready to
receive grain by July goth, and Man
ager O.Shauglmessy of the Tuna

company win put 1S or 20 men to
work at once.
Farmers OF this locality have been
talking elevator for some years and
while this will be the first elevator
this side Of the Columbia, Mr.. Pry
feels that he wants to keep up his
reputation which is on the rocks and
posts between here and Grandview
as a live wire. This should be great
saving to the farmers as the sack bill
from year to year is always a pay-out
with no return. 1t is argued that the
wheat can be threshed cheaper and
hauled cheaper If handled in bulk

AMERICAS HIGH DUTY
By John Sharp Williams, United

By John Sharp Williams, United
States Senator from Mississippi.
The United States has entered up
on the great world conflict, which is
to decide whether Democracy shall
have safe place in the sun on the
earth, or not. There is hardly any
duty higher than that which ought
to actuate each citizen to help furnish
a part of the money which will be
necessary for that purpose.
1t is true that a man may be able
to lend his money out at 6,or7 ,orS,
and in some places even 10 per cent,
but he might we'll forego for the
space of two or three years the high
er rate of interest while he invested
In " per cent bonds of the United
States. His principal would be safe.
The bonds are exempt from taxation,
except the inheritance tax, and ex-
changeable for later bonds of high
er rate of interest if the United States
later during this war issues such,
and are especially freed from any
war tax that may be levied.
Our men cannot get to France or
Belgium in any considerable numbers
for year. The Governments money
| received from the subscriptions to
bonds may get there by wire, the
credit based upon it may, which is
the same thing, and, after getting
there takes the form of clothing and
food, munitions, rifles and cannon.
and may help our allies to win.
Next to the immediate duty Of chas-
ing submarines and sinking them
wherever they can be found, thereby
|reopening the avenues overseas for
the worlds commerce. there is moth
ing that can do SO much good as
lending the Government your mon
ey. And even in that respect the man
who subscribes to a bond, putting
what ready money he can into it,
has the satisfaction of knowing that
his money has helped build destroy
er, or buy an armed yacht, which in
its turn has destroyed a submarine.
The American people are not a
money-loving people IN the sense
that miser is. Their money getting
+, takes more than a form of game,
which is enjoyed because Of its skill
and the clash of wits, and their love
of the possession of money is based
more upon the uses to which the
: money can be put in elevating them
selves and their children and their
: neighbors and the community. in
which they live than upon the money
itself, or the reputation of having it.
We are the wealthiest people in
the world; this wealth ought now to
serve the country. 1t will be a
shameful thing that those who are
not fit for military service should al
low those who are fit to go to the
front and be MANNED and mangled,
and perhaps killed, while they stay
at home and refuse to do even so
much as to loosen their purse strings.

liams of Mississippi was the first
Member of either House of Congress

investing several thousand dollars

millions. Officials here believe that
losses will bit more than wiped out
by the greatly higher prices distillers
will obtain for their product, already

officials, whiskey will be selling al

the loss of capital invested in plants.
At the same time the plants will con.

growth in the use of commercial alco

LIEUT.. JEROME PICKETT
MAKES REMARKABLE RISE

Sumter county friends and relatives
of Jerome Pickett, son of Mr. and Mrs.
M P Pickett, of Hattiesburg, Miss, will
be interested to learn of his success in
the army.
Enlisting four years ago in the regu-
lar army as private, he is now a first
lieutenant, and has been sent to
France.
All of Lieut.. Pickett's grandparents
were prominent in this county. His
maternal grandfather was the late
Capt Samuel McGarrah and his pater
nal grandfather was the late Major NJ.
B. Pickett.
Lieut. Pickett is relative of Miss
Anniel Pickett, of Americas, and has
other relatives in this section. His un-
usual rise in the army, going from the
ranks to an officers place and making
a distinctive record all along the line
is very gratifying to them.
