HARD TASK
FOR CLARK
Speaker of House of Rep
resentatives Pleads for
Support of Members

Champ Clark Democratic speaker of
the house of representatives, knows
that he has task of large proper
lions cut out for him in presiding over
the session just opened. Responding
to the honor conferred on him in his
reelection on Monday, Speaker Clark
said:
81 fully appreciate the fact that it
will be exceedingly difficult to dis
charge the duties of the speakership in
this house. 1t will be almost impOs-
sible to do so without the hearty CO.
operation of the members without re-
gard to party affiliations. 1 will use
my utmost endeavOr to be absolutely
fair, and 1 invoke the aid of all the
members in doing so.
''It is absolutely unnecessary and SUI
perfluous to lecture the membership on
patriotism. We are all patriots, as
are the people who elected us. We
are all Americans, whether natives or
foreign born, as our constituents. On
many questions we are distinct as the
pillows, yet we are one as the sea-
when the honor and safety of the re-
public are involved. Politics finds no
place in this house when the general
welfare and the common defense of
the nation are at stake. Let all the
ends we aim to be our country's and
in the accomplishment of these ends
may the God of our fathers be with us
and guide us in the way which will
rebound to the honor and perpetuity
of the greatest republic that ever ex-
listed in all the flood of time

four of the sO-called independents

TRAINING
Volunteer Company at u.
of |. in for Earnest
Work

That the possibility of active SER
vice is being given serious considera-
ton by both university men and bust
ness men of Moscow is demonstrated
by the fact that SO names are OIL the
soil call of the volunteer company,
which is being drilled by Captain
Cummings and his uni yersity assist
ants. If congressional developments
during the next few days indicate 81
vigorous offensive policy on the part
OF the United States, it is expected
that this number will be considerably
increased.
Fine Opportunity Open.
The unusual opportunity of having
the services of an army officer and
the use of the university military
equipment gives the men of Moscow
distinct advantage over those of
used to the best advantage. Many OF
the volunteers have had previous mill
tary experience, ranging from service
as cadets in college TO service in ac-
uual wsr.
Work Goes Right Along.
The fact that the cadet battalion is
away at Fort Wright will not be al
lowed to hinder the progress of the
volunteer company. Drill will be held
in Lewis court at the university on
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fri
day of this week, and will be in charge
of Lieutenant Homer Youngs, assist
ed by detail of cadet N. G. O.s.
1t is important that attendance at
these drills be regular, as each even
ing advanced work will be taken up,
and irregular instruction will serious
ly hinder the progress of both the
and the individual.
Program of Drills.
The following is the program of drill
for the week ending April Z, 1917.

The melting pot is in active opera
ton these days. Clerk Adrian Nelson
of the district court sees few days in
which he is not called upon to start
natives of foreign countries on the way
to American citizenship. They come
from various sections, all anxious to
array themselves under the stars and
stripes of their adopted land.
The other day Jim Evanoff, a native
of the city of Monistir, Macedonia, from
the very heart of the Balkan wars
filed his declaration of intention to
become an American. He is a young
man now living at Deary. The same
day Mike Marinoff, native of Bull
garia, filed his declaration of inten-
ton. He is also a young man en-
ployed at Deary.
Today Edward Katzer, native of
Bohemia, now farmer living near
Potlatch, filed his declaration of in
tention This is the third time Katzer
has taken this initial step. Failure to
follow it up makes it necessary for
him to begin all over again.
Today there was also filed a petition
for naturalization by Emil Boiler a
native of Switzerland. He is now a
farmer near Potlatch and is deter
mined to become an American citizen

William Allen White, following his
return from France.
White pointed out the necessity OF
caring for the families of the French
soldiers during the coming winter and
declared the American and French
commanders were cooperating with the
Red Cross in every way.
"Every soldier saved this winter
means the saving of an American bo.

to keep up the morale of the French

smashing blow against German autoc-
racy."

THE HONOR SYSTEM

The honor system at the prison is proving to be
siderable of failure Monday night the escape of six
prisoners at once all of whom in the honor gang and
were at work cutting wood forgot their promises and
ditched their "honor." AS automobile was missing
from the city next morning it is supposed they also went
back to their old tricks forgot the difference between
mine and thine and skipped out in the Ford built for
five passengers but big enough to accommodate six
under the circumstances 1t may be the system is not to
blame and it may be mistake of judgment in placing
trust in mems honor who have none The faithfuness of
prisoners shows that many prisoners can be trusted
and the escapes show just positively that many
The prisoner trusted, who skps does injury to his
fellow prisoners for it brings the system into dsrepute
and reduces the chances of those who would most likely
refuse to run away and who would be true to their
pledges to have this quasifreedom This being true
it revers back to those in authority at the prison. for it
also puts them their honor to discretion in the
selection of prisoners for the honor gang They this
duty to the better class of prisoners. Warden
Murphy is kind hearted perhaps too much Without
knowing anything of the who escaped the crimes

GERMAN PEACE.
by Wall Mason

For peace that's made in Germany the allies
do not care; it would be cheap and verminy
not warranted to wear. The peace the
kaiser's pondering, and planning with a
gun, would surely fade in laundering, the
colors all would run. The war! The world
is hating it, but peace would be more punk,
with Germany debating it, and handing out
the bunk The allies are much wiser dumb,
and welding sword and creese, than argu-
ing with kaiserdom about the terms OF
peace. When peace again is given us, and
people know repose, and wars red dog,
that's driven us. back to its kennel .goes.

MAN BELIEVED DEAD
FOUND IN HOSPITAL
Nephew Was Long Suspected
of His Murder.

( SALEM, Aug. 17.--When Charles
| Hartman. of Astoria, arrived here to-
day to take Matt Anderson from the
, State Hospital TO his old home in
C,atsop county. a mystery of eight
years standing was cleared up. For
eight years people of Clatsop county
have believed Matt Anderson dead,
many holding the suspicion that he
had been murdered by his nephew,
! Charles Carlson.
Carlson himself disappeared four
years ago and has not been heard
from since. II is believed that he
fled from Clatsop county to avoid
longer being held under the suspicion
of his neighbors.
Eight years ago Anderson was sus-
pected of being implicated in a crime
against girl in Clatsop county and
he and his nephew decided to heave
for Portland.

As they waited at the station for a
train Carlson went across the road
from the depot to a saloon to obtain
n drink and when he returned to the
depot Anderson was gone
Anderson had more than 5000 in
money on his person. Carlson was
unable to give any clew as to Ander
sons wherea bouts and an investiga-
ton was started, with the upshot tina;
Carlson was suspected of doing away
with his uncle.
1t has developed now that Ander-
SON instead of taking a train, walked
to Portland where he went on
drunken debauch and was picked uD.

mitted to the state hospital

Thomas Nelson. manager of the

wavs taken an interest in the case
and refused to believe that Anderson
was dead.
1t was large'y through his efforts
that Anderson finally was located at
the state hospital and he sent Hart
man to Salem to return Anderson to
Astoria and clear up the mystery.
Anderson was a fisherman and still
has about ST51 of the money which
he was carrying when he left Ast"-
