owyhss County Senator Serving His
Second Term in Upper House
Of the Legislature.

Owyhee county is represented in the
state senate by Democrat-and a
hysician-Senator George r. Proctor.
But the fact that by political creed
he is a follower of jefferson and by
profession a doctor is not a handicap.
Quite the contrary. Being a Demo-
crat the senator from Owyhee has the
advantage of the prestige of the ma.
jority and administration. Being a
physician qualities him to pass on
medical legislation and the senator is
actively on the job.
Senator Proctor is a native of the
state of Illinois in which he was born
May %, 1869, at Coleta, Whiteside
county. He is now resident of
Grandview, Owyhce county, where he
enjoys a large practice. Senator Proc :
tor was al one time treasurer of Gene
see township, Whiteside county, Illi-
nois. He was member of the board
OF United States pension examining
surgeons for the same county during
the Mckinley administration and also
under the Roosevelt administration.
He held the office until 1909 when he
moved to Idaho. Senator Proctor is
also a director in the Grandview ir-
rigation district and the Grandvicw
State bank.
FOR BROAD LEGISLATION.
The first term of Senator Proctor
was served in the senate during the
Thirteenth session. At that time he
laid down the policy of standing for
broad legislation favorable to the dc
velopment OF the state rather than
legislation that merely seeks to pro-
mote party and is political in it's char
acter. He was in the minority then.
Now that he is in the majority he has
not changed his attitude.
Legislation of statewide import in
which ! am especially Interested" said
Senator Proctor, lis such as will cause
the individual legislator and state Of
fetal to keep his ear close to the
ground for the rumblngs of public
opinion, either Of approval or dsap-
prevail OF his official acts and con :
templated official acts and cause him
to be guided thereby, rather than that
he should be led more or less blindly
by those politicians who represent the
influences of special and private in =
terests, and who, by reason OF this
leadership give nothing but incidental
thought and energy to the solution of
the real problems and needs of the
state, except when goaded to it by
crystallzed public opinion threatening
his political station. AS a means to
this desired end ] know Of nothing cal :
culated to help in it's attainment more
quickly than effective initiative and
referendum laws"

figures and Estimates-War De-
partment Says Man is Not a Liar
But a Patriot-Few Arrests Made.

Washington, June e.-There are pa
triotic liars in the United States. thou:
sands upon thousands Of them.
The government discovered this fact
today in connection with the military
registration.
More men registered than the wild
est estimates called for.
The government knew almost to a
man the number of men OF draft age
in the country. It had the census re-
port of 1910, and could make an ap-
proximate guess as to the increase in
population since that census was taken.
It was able to check the guess by
population returns made by state au'
thorities and by municipal police.
1o,o0o,oo0 Is Estimate.
Therefore, it was able to say def
initely that a little more than 100000
men would be subject to registration.
To the establishment of Major Cen
eraI Crowder. provost marshal gen.
eral, reports of governors show more
men registered than the census fig
ures estimated. Certainly men of draft
ages were not created overnight.
A slight lapse of memory is attrib-
uted to many. Some, not quite Il,
said they were p; others, over 80. SAID
they were 80 or under
The question arises: Is a man who
lies about his age in order to register
a liar?
No, He's Patriot.
The war department says not. 1t
declares he is patriot.
OF course. such persons will be de-
tected and thrown out. They will not
be subject to draft, nor will they be
punished.
Nobody dreamed when the draft law
was being framed that men would
falsify their ages in order to come
within its operation. So the patriots
who fibbed will be told that the gov
eminent thanks them, but will not re-
aure their services.
They will be told further that the
regular army and the national guard
are open if they care to enlist
But isn't it good to be such liar?

Heavy Subscribers.

Clinton. June 6--More than three
million dollars worth of liberty bonds
will be purchased by members of the
Greater Iowa Association, according
to reports now in the hands of the
secretary. Less than half of the mem

The same day that war was official
ly declared. the Greater Iowa Associa :
ton offered its entire facilities to both
the state and federal governments for
such services as might be most prac-
tical in assisting toward the solution
Of problems incident to the war.
Upon receipt OF this message Col.
G. Watson French. of Davenport, pres
ident of the association, subscribed for
$4,000 worth of bonds. Judge Nathan
iel French. brother of Colonel French.
also subscribed to $4,000 worth. This
was followed by other subscriptions
from charter members of the associa-
ton living in Davenport, aggregating
more than 100000.
The appeal was then sent to the
membership turnout the state to use
every proper influence TO see that these
bonds were so'' The first batch of re-
plies was rece we'd at the secretary's
office this morning with the indica-
tons as stated above.
