SHIP BUILDING NEEDS LABOR.

The secretary of the State Editor
ial Association of Portland, Oregon,
informs US that Oregon's effort to do
her part in the building of steel and
wooden ships for the wal is seriously
crippled through lack of labor.
Latest authentic information gath
cred points to the necessity Of en-
ploying at once nearly 12,000 men in
the shipbuilding business at Portland
and between two and three thousand
in the yards outside.
With contracts already let and GER
tain to be placed in the near future,
it is stated by the shipbuilders that
from 10000 TO 25.000 men should be
employed by the close Of this yea,
or early next year The work is on
hand to give this employment and
the demand for ships is growing
greater every day.
The development of an industry Of
this magnitude so suddenly has re-
suited in drawing practically all of
the available men within immediate
reach, and already the shipbuilders
of the state are urging laborcrs from
all parts of the west 10 take posi-
tions in their plants.
Appeals are coming from national
officials and all the leading business
men of the east for all seaboard
states TO concentrate their supreme
energies upon the program OF build
ing ships. This is declared to be the
greatest duty confronting the nation
today and on every hand it is adj
mite frankly. despite the optimistic
statements made of the position Of
the allied forces. that unless shiDs
are built by America at a pace abb
solutely beyond the present program
the effectiveness of the United States
in the European war Will be largely
reduced. Germany is counting i'm
plicitly upol destroying more ships
than are built to prevent America
from participating extensively in the
war. The submarine program is max
ing more rapid progress than the
shipbuilding program. For these rea-
sons the federal government is put
ting the building of ships as the pri-
mary patriotic duty of the people OF
the country, and urging every per
son who can aid in the work to take
it I'D with as murh reverence and
as much sense Of duty as If they
We're enlisting in the army.
Americas food. munitions, arms
and men cannot reach Europe without
an adequate supply of ships. Best
authorities declare these should be
built of steel and wood as rapidly as
the forces of the country can be mar
shalled for the work.
In the emergency every mar VINO
has any mechanical or artisan skill

Manager Frank Gretchen. OF the
Gretchen Lumber Company was In
the other day and called our at
tention to fact that number OF
people doubtless overlook. In
sepaking OF the bilding proposition
Mr.. Gretchen said, Many people
argue that they can not afford to
build now on account of the high
price Of lumber. This is especially
true with the farmers said Mr..
Gretchen. They overlook q few
facts that l might mention, for in
stance, in 1914 q ton OF broom corn
would buy but 1000 feet of good
boards while in 1917 ton OF broom
corn will buy about 5000 feet. In
1916 ton OF broom corn would buy
about 1000 feet of 2x4's while in 1917
the same load OF corn will buy from
five to six thousand feet OF 2x4s
Facts of the matter are that there is
no class OF people so able to build
as the farmers and there is no time
like the present"

POLAR PORK.

In exploiting Alaska we Americans have brought the polar porker into existence. Farmers in Alaska, even as far north as St. Michael, are now rais. ing pigs. And they are making as much of a success of their venture as some farmers are in warmer climes. The fact is, in some parts of Alaska the native-grown hogs are as fine as any raised in this country. Alaskans are always intent upon raising as much and as varied line of livestock as possible, due to the isolation of the territory in which they live, and the consequent freight charges. Alaska will never be really as great as it's preceptOrs wish it to be until it can make itself independent of the outside resources for all or most articles of food, and every new success in pro- ducing the things there which we are accustomed to here at home is herald ed as a triumph. When polar pork becomes so common that Alaska can do her own packing the ice bill for refrigeration should not be much of an item of expense. Livestock in Alas ka is an established industry. - Will Transport (Pa.) Grit.

PRESERVING DEMOCRACY.

The bars are up against the use of the United States mails by disloyal publications and it Is high time they were up. Too long have so- called newspapers spread seditious propaganda through the United States, using the very government which with more or less concealment in for eign languages and double meaning phrasing they have been attacking.
 "I have every intention of denying the use of the mails to any newspaper or other publication that is disloyal," Postmaster Burleson is quoted as saying.
 And now he has the authority to back up that statement. The trading with the enemy bill is chock full of teeth in so far as the use of the mails is concerned
 The legislation not only permits the pOstoffice department to exercise lar ger powers in denying the use of the mails to seditious publications, but re- quires foreign language newspapers to submit to their local postmasters English translations of all matter they print relating to the conduct of the war or foreign policies of the govern ment in respect of the war.
 These translations are required to be forwarded by the local postmasters to the postmaster general in Washing ton, who will promptly shut down the mails on any paper printing improper matter. Several penalties are provid-

ed in cases where false or incomplete translations are found to have been submitted.
 The editors and publishers of such papers as Bull and the Masses, which already have been excluded from the mails under the old law, will no long. CT find it possible to send copies of their papers out by express, as the new law provides severe penalties for express companies undertaking to transport publications excluded from the mails.
 The new law further provides for the first time authority to exercise a censorship of the mails. For the present, however, the intention of the postoffice department is to censor only such mails as go over the border into Mexico.
 No attempt will be made at this time to censor domestic mails, nor those that go across the Atlantic to Europe, reliance being placed in the elaborate British censorship to pre- vent any mails of an improper charac- ter getting to Germany in that way. Should the British system fail to work in this regard, however, it is probable that the American government will apply a strict censorship of it's own to all outgoing mails.
 The howl of the free speech advo. cates will avail nothing. The priyi. lege has been so badly abused as to necessitate drastic action. The will of the majority is the basic principle of our government. The majority is over. whelmingly for the preservation of de, mocracy. The recalcitrant minority must and will be suppressed and pre- vented from indulging acts and words calculated to destroy democracy by aiding autocracy.

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA.

Generations of novelists in the flu ture will be kept busy describing to coming American boys the spirit of IT
 How this spirit swelled through the land and laid the foundation for the newer and greater America that will be born of the war is a topic of mex haustible possibilities.
 An instance of the courage that Am erican boys are showing is a story told of a young Cornell graduate who had taken a degree in engineering,
 When the war broke out he deter mined to enlist but his employers argued that he coUld be of more ser vice in his profession than in the army. He listened to their plea.
 Then he was drafted, and he re- joiced in the call of his country. Again his employers interposed, urging that they could obtain exemption for him on any one of a half dozen grounds. He refused, declaring that he had re- solved to enter the aviation corps.
 His father then took a hand, implor- ing him to change his mind, arguing that he would be of more service in the engineering branch of the army than in the air. He offered to use his influence in obtaining a commission for the boy in the engineers corps. But the son replied:
 If I meet my country's require. ments it may be possible, even if l last only one day at the front, to do enough damage to our enemy to offset -entirely-my loss. That is my place."
 After weighing this the father re, tented.
 T have the answer to that" he said, you are right. Co.,"
