Portland, Or, 27 February, 1918,
Editor of the Capital Journal:
My attention has been called to, a
communication printed in the Journal
from Mr.. j. X. Sears wherein he states,
among other things, that the Oregon
Commission to the Panama-Paeific OK
position at San Francisco has failed
to file report l am not acquainted
with the griefs, public or private,
between Mr. j. X. Sears and SEN
ator Hawley, but l do know how
ever, that when statement is
made TO the effect that no report has
been made to the people of the State of
Oregon by the Oregon Commission such
an assertion is absolutely and circum-
any other citizen Of the State of Ore
gon Will repair to the office of the
secretary Of the state at Salem he will
find a report filed by the Oregon
Commission setting forth in minute de-
tails and under proper heads the
disposition of every dollar appropriated
under the original act of 1913 and the
appropriation of 1915.
After the Commission had filed its
the legislature Of the State of
Oregon during the session of 1917
passed n joint resolution which is set
forth on page 945 of the General Laws
of Oregon for 1917 In said resolution
the report of the Commission is sub
sequently referred to as follows:
"Whereas. the said Commission has
filed with the secretary of state a re-
port of all it's acts, including de-
tailed financial statement, and it
appears from said report
that said Commission has worthily and
faithfully performed all its duties. "

paper free lance, an Englishman, came
into the office this afternoon with a
story to sell. 1t was an extract from a
sermon that, he said, is to be delivered
tomorrow by the Rev. j. Fort Newton.
DR.. Newton, who came to the City
Temple recently from an Iowa church,
it seems is to inveigh powerfully
against the drink evil in London. Ac-
cording to the extract of the sermon Of
fered by the free lance he charges that
American soldiers are disgracing them
selves and their uniforms on the streets
of this city. Conditions are so bad in
this respect, he says, that it "makes
him hate London"
We told him we could not use the
story and he asked why. We told him be-
cause it ism It true. Regardless of that,
urged the free lance, it would be a good
story; it certainly would interest all
America.
We suggested that the inference Gre
ated by such story would not only in
terest, but would alarm all America
or, in any event, would alarm the sew
eral thousands of mothers who happen to
have boys in uniform on this side of

PLANT MORE WAR GARDENS

Government estimates last year placed the value of
vegetables grown in the gardens at above $300000
0O0 This year with the outlook for extraordinary high
prices for all eatabes the planted gardens should
be largely increased Last year there bumper crop
of potatoes the largest in the history Of the country and
time the surplus will have tendency to cause lighter
planting this year. This would be mistake If the
lasts through the year they will be needed and if it does
not they will be in still greater demand 1t must not be
overlooked that all Europe is underfed and will continue
in that condition until the ends or until there
ships enough to carry all surplus foodstus to market
There would be market for all big crop of potatoes
if there ships to carry them across the ocean, and
matter how great the crop this year, if the shipping
available it will all be used.
