LETTER TELLS OF DEATH OF DR..
- * C. D. CRAM.

THE NEWS made announcement
some weeks ago of the death in a
California hospital of DR.. Charles d.
Cram, at one time a resident and
popular physician of this city. DR..
Cram had a host of friends here.
Knowing this DR.. M. H. DALEY wrote
to DR.. George H. Voss, of Lakeport,
Cali, where DR.. Cram died, asking
for particulars. The reply was, in
part, as follows:
'Lakeport, California, Sept. Is.
Dear DR.. Daley:
I'm answer to yours of the 4th
inst, / assure you that the death OF
Dr. Chas. d. Cram is quite a loss to
his many friends and myself, and to
this community, where he was sue
ceSsful in his practice and quite
highly thought of. The DR.. had seri-
GUS liver trouble last January, at
which time he was operated on for
gall stones, and with apparent re-
lief. He was able to return to Lake
port, but had again to return to the
Hospital. After three weeks in the
Hospital at Ukiah he passed away
without much suffering, except for
extreme exhaustion.
'He was quite happy and content
ed with his work here. and his own
statement was that he had found the
place at last where he expected to
spend the remainder of his life. He
had many warm friends and enjoyed
a very good practice. He was a lib
eral and kind-hearted man, and l
presume for this reason he did not
accumulate very much in the last few
years, although he had everything
he wished for, and his practice pro-
duced enough to make life enjoyable
tor him. :. L am sending you copies
Of the local papers, and l shall be
glad to advance any further informa-
ton if desired. a.
g. Yours Very Truly,
GEO. H. VOSS."

TAKE OURS FOR PATTERN

The Winchester Democrat some
time ago expressed unqualified ap-
prevail of our Community Chorus, and
suggested that Winchester should
have similar organization. Now
the Democrat wants drum and
bugle corps. They should inspect
our Liberty Drum and Bugle Corps
on parade some day, with chief pro-
motor and grand marshal Roxie Da-
Wis in the lead. The Democrat says:
Public spirited citizens are at
work trying to organize drum corps
for Winchester. A band will finally
be organized if the drum corps proves
successful. There is no reason why
Winchester cannot finance band.
One is badly needed here, and there is
much talent if it could be developed.
Let us all boost the movement"

THE GOOD SHIP LIBERTY LOAN

German submarines have taken
shipping during the last two years.
Merchantmen, armored cruiser or
fishing smack, they have all looked
alike to the Huns. Red Cross ships
have been sent to the bottom; women
and children have been shelled in
lifeboats. With them nothing has
been respected. All that came their
way has been fair game; it has been
open season ever on the high seas for
every variety of craft.
But no German U-boat will be able
to stay the progress of the good ship
Liberty Loan" lifeboat of the worlds
civilization.
Very shortly the Liberty Loan"
is to put forth once more. 1t will
be short voyage but tremendously
important one to the liberties of the
world. 1t must be triumphant one
1t must end with the bands playing
and the colors flying proudly from
the masthead. No Spanish galleon
of the olden days ever carried such a
wealth of treasure as the good ship
Liberty Loan" must bring safely
into port
And all of us, for our honor, our
country and our self-respect through
the years to come, must take part in
this greatest excursion the world has
ever witnessed.
eGt your badge of loyalty early.
Get ready, folks, get aboard.
You cannot afford to be left.

bureaus to such extent as he NAV find
necessary and place this buying under
the control of some agency. Likewise
he could invest in some central agency
the power to reach decisions and to
determine the great questions which
affect more than one department.
In similar manner the President will
have power to centralize and remove
duplication of effort where conflicting
activities have developed in connec.
ton with the war. For example he
could form a central secret service for
the United States during the war by
transferring to one central agency the
secret service activities which are now
scattered between many departments
such as justice, treasury, war, navy.
etc.
Until some legislation such as this
is passed the various bureaus and di-
visions of the government will be COM
PEELED by the existing statutes to con
tinue their Independent activities.
There will exist nowhere the authority
necessary to bring about central con
troll and responsibility. Since the
Overman bill carries out the spirit and
the purpose of the resolution adopted
at the war convention of American
business held at Atlantic City by the
United States chamber of commerce
last September, the chamber gives it

ALASKA'S INSANE RECOVER

Seventeen per cent more of the
Alaskan patients at the Morningside
sanitarium recover than the average
for asylums throughout the United
States, is the report sent to the gov

According to this report, the average
recovering from asylums in the United
States is "a per cent, but those from
Alaska recover to the number of All
per cent. 1t is also stated that more
half of those sent to the asylum are
of the merely Respondent or mentally
depressed type.
The total number of patients ad-
mitted between the dates of 1904 and
1918 is 688, and the present number Of
patients is 213. Out of the total num-
Der sent to the asylum during these IA
years, 315 have been discharged, and
100 have died at the asylum.

FULL POWERS tn
PRESIDENT ARE
RECOMMENDED

WASHINGTON, March I2.-En-
dorsement of the Overman bin giving
the President full powers to centralize
control in any way he sees fit, was rec
commended today by the board of direc-
tors of the United States chamber of
commerce to the more than 1000
chambers of commerce and other in
dustrial organizations comprising its
membership. This is in line with the
| chambers action since last September
when it called for central control and
responsibility for procuring war ma
terial and supplies.
THE development of an organiza-
tion to bring about central control and
! responsibility for procuring war mater
Iial and supplies has now reached
point where further progress can not
be had without action Of congress, )"
said Waddil Catchings, chairman of
the war committee of the chamber of
commerce of the United States. GLOW
ever excellent the numerous plans OF
reorganization in the several depart
ments are, they can be put into eff
feet only when congress grants the
power.
NO matter whether one might have
been disposed to urge the passage of
the bill for a ministry of munitions
and a war cabinet, this hardly seems
, the direction for effective effort at
this time" he continued. Those in
charge of the administrative machin-
cry of the government are strongly OBJ
posing the passage of these measures.
The administrations proposal that the
existing machinery should be changed
to bring about central control and
responsibility offers an opportunity for
progress which all should support"
The falseness of the impression that
the Overman bill grants additional
powers is emphasized in the recon-
mendation sent by the chamber to Is
members. The bill simply gives the
President power to redistribute the
functions of the executive agency to
another and to employ such additional
agencies as he may deem necessary.
Erroneous, too, is the inference that
The bill gives the executive power to
divert public moneys from the pur-
pose for which they were appropriated
and to use these moneys for other pur-
poses The act specifically provides
that any moneys appropriated shall he
available for the purpose for which it
was appropriated under the direction
of such agency as the President may
direct. 1t must be borne in mind that
the obvious intent of the bill is solely
to give the President the power to
create an administrative machinery
designed to meet the problems of the
war
