The members Of the board of advisers who are helping
in food control are making a mistake in undertaking to
deceive the people as to conditions. That they are doing
so is shown in a statement by one of them yesterday, who
in speaking of milling conditions and the fact that wheat
was not being delivered as rapidly as it should be, said
among other things: eve have an extraordinary large
the government reports and besides is not true. Conse-
quently the statement must be looked upon as a deliber-
ate attempt to deceive. The American people more than
any other demand to know the truth about conditions, and
once they know them they can be depended on to do
whatever is necessary under the circumstances, to either
bear or overcome.

Germany takes the position that American revelations
as to Count Luxburg make the affair one for Sweden
alone to deal with. In view of further revelations as to
Sweden's charge d affares in Mexico doing Germany's
spy work, and the indications that Sweden has secretly
been practically an ally of Germany, the iatter's desire
to have Sweden alone deal with the matter is easily I'M
derstood.

The state highway commission is rushing the work of
paving on the Siskiyou mountain section of the Pacific
highway. Night and day crews are laying the "hot stuff"
and it is hoped to finish the work before the heavy rains
set in. Just what the big idea is with the commission does
value of a paved road which cannot be reached in the
winter season from any direction. The Siskiyou pave
ment will loom white, silent and deserted all next winter
while daring tourists who attempt to travel the Pacific
highway are stuck in the mud all through western Ore
gon. If the commission were to have work rushed night
and day on those places where a little rain makes an i'm
passable mudhole the result by next winter might be less
spectacular than the paving of Siskiyou mountain but far
more satisfactory and useful to the public at large.

Elihu Root speaking on the subject of Russia said
Russia is still a factor in the war and will continue to be
so until the end. He points out that Russia however ap-
parently helpless she is, is compelling the kaiser to keep
a vast army on the Russian frontier, and so long as she
does this she is doing good work for the allies. Should
Russia make peace with Germany it would free an army
of two million according to Mr.. Roots statement that
could be hurled against the British and French on the
western front with results that might be disastrous. So
long as Russia stays in the war that nation is doing a
splendid work, even though it does not fight a battle.

A dispatch yesterday stated draft frauds have been
uncovered in Missouri which involve a dozen exemption
officials. A man has been found who confessed to pay
ing a draft official $3.50, to be Exempted on the ground
of physical disability. 1t seems no calling trade pursuit
or occupation is free from the dirty American CRATER.
In this particular case, the receiver of coin who accepted
it as a salve for violated oaths of office, should be i'm
prisoned for life.

Ripping Rhymes
BACK HOME
by Wall Mason

From mountain and from sea resort the
tourists are returning, and they have
freckles by the quart, and sunburn fiercely
burning. No doubt you ~gamboled with the
rest, where sylvan torrent gushes, where
little robins build their nest, and sparrows
chase the thrushes. No doubt you're full of
thrilling yarns, that you desire to tell us, of
ocean waves or mountain tarns--which
tales will make us jealous. But have you
brought back nothing more than rather idle
stories of basking by the briny's shore, or
mid the forests glories? Have you
brought back a lot of pep for your employ

Now it is charged that prohibition is responsible for
the restless condition of labor and the numerous strikes.
until he has become so opulent he is sassy" and don't
care whether he works or not whereas under the regime
of the saloon he was kept poor and so could not afford to
strike. His necessities compelled him to work. Is it pos
