EXTRACTS FROM A PRIVATE
LETTER

We are in receipt of a private let
ter from Mrs. Jas. A. Harris from
which we make the following ex.
tracts:
Il note the death of Capt John L.
Inglis and Capt D. H. Baker. Both
men we're among the best citizens Of
the state and their passing away is
i great loss, but we can not keep the
old men always with US. Let US hope
that others as good will grow uD %
take their places.
4 notice some writer in the
Banner advocates bringing the prison
ers of war over to this country for
laoorers. I think the best thing
would be to let in a limited number
or Chinese and japanese especially
the Chinese for they are the best la
oorers we can get. And they are
peaceful and law abiding and do not
think they must run the government.
We have got to have farm Iaborers to
develop the vast resources of this
country and the Chinese are the best
we can get
I fear We are in for a long var
but better now while we can have
help than later when we would have
to tackle Germany single handed-for
a war with Germany was bound to
come sooner or later"

THE SECRETARY OF WAR TALKS
TO NEWSPAPER EDITORS

Hon. Newton D. Baker, secretary Of
war, recently made timely and
heart-to-heart talk to the newspaper
editors Of the United States.
The secretary TOOK them into his
confidence, the same as President
Wilson did several months ago. and
told them of the great responsibility
resting upon them and how they
could best perform their "oit" in the
great impending conflict.
Among other things he said
Now, if your journals, catching
the spirit Of the community OF enter
prise, will preach to those who read
your papers and who are influenced
by them, and whose modes OF thought
are controlled by them-if you will
preach to them the constant doctrine
Of the necessity of the sacrifice of
habit, in order that there may be
community Of enterprise in this new
undertaking, if you will Just take the
trouble to analyze the crealIng which
the machine develops in the process
Of readjustment and point out in
large view how necessary it is that
these things should be, if you will
calm the approximations and spur the
courage and determination Of yoar
clientele, you will have it in your
power to make a contribution to this
aggregation OF our industrial and 9th
er resources in a common cause
which will be second to no contribu-
ton made by any group in the coun-
try.
And am not asking you to for
bear criticism. A declaration of war
is always a declaration of an open
season for critics. and that is rather
fortunate. There are no perfect Deo-
pie. and all OF us who are imperfect
are anxious to have our imperfections
called to our attention, so that we can
be more on guard against them. and
people who are exceedingly busy
about great tasks are quite likely to
allow their natural imperfections to
run away with them, while thew are
absorbed about other things. so that
criticism is helpful. But make if
constructive"
He tells us why the var started:
'You and I know many Germans
