Local Development.

Looking back over the last few years
makes the first Years OF telephone de-
velopment seem rather tame and slow.
in 1900 there were only 3c6 teleph nes in
the Augusta exchange, y years after its
invention. In l9oi-o6 a new era began.
At the end Of 1915 we had 1888 stations
and at the close Of 1917 there. were $50.
Tine III not permit giving more than
brief word picture Of the operation Of
modern exchange Briefly. exchanges
are OF tvs kinds. the magnetic exchange
and the common battery or central ener-
gy system such as we have in Augusta.

MORE CAMoUFLAGE.

An organization which frankly declares
that its purpose is TO secure control of the
political institutions of the State of Oregon
for its own members has been formally
launched in Portland and in face Of its
avowed purpose has the temerity to desig.
nate itself as "the Non-partisan League of
Oregon"
If it be non-partisan act to secure con
troll of governmental machinery by the
members of a secret society composed OF
dues paying members, upright and honor
able tho they be in all their dealings both III
public and private life; righteous and honor
able tho their occupation may be, and high
tho be their motive in getting that control
of the government; in spite of all this we
ask, if that be -partisanism then what is
partisanismf
The mere truth of the matter is that the
leaders of the movement which seeks TO sub
vert the objects of government for the bene,
fit of their society, have taken the old
method of using catch phrase to snare the

HIT THE TYPHOID.

Those citizens who realize that they can
be of assistance in solving community prob.
lens can do no better than to get out and
vote at the bond election It is a wonderful
chance to aid in solving what has been the
most vexing of Ontario difficulties
In view of the discussions which the ep
idemics of typhoid have caused during the
past two years it is hard to see why there
were not more than 191 persons out to vote
on the preliminary election two weeks ago
1t is true that there is no opposition to
the proposed new system, that everyone is
for it, but those who are interested and who
fail to vote are almost as dangerous as real
objectors, for by not voting they are making
it appear to purchasers of the proposed bond
issue that the people are not greatly inter
ested in the matter A good big strong vote
would show possible buyers that the people
want water system and want it sufficiently
to get out en- masse and vote for it.
Do not, therefore, let the fact that there
is no open opposition to the proposed i'm
provement lull you into feeling that some
one else can do your voting If you do not
want typhoid in Ontario, get out and do your
own voting The very fact that there were
fifteen votes against the proposed charter
amendment indicates that there are few
here who want to continue the alliance be-
tween disease and the city, or who at least
are opposed to taking steps to drive the
scourge from the city.

HOW WE GET BOOKS TO
OUR BOYS "OvER THERE

There are several styles Of books
called for In the cantonments. Tho
most common are "Huck leberry
Finn, books on the war, books on
France, and those telling OF the
methods the Germans use In fighting.
The U s. were confronted by the
large problem OF getting books to our
boys "over there" They solved Il in
this way: Every boy who went to
France was handed book as he
went aboard the transport. to keep
until he got to port and then he was
to give II to the port officials. Be-
sides this the transport carries lit
tie over book apiece.
Nearly 5000 books we're lost when
the Tuscania was sunk.

GETTING ACTION.

While Senator Chamberlain may not
have the satisfaction of seeing his plan for
a war cabinet favorably acted upon, it is
|measurably certain that if the OveIman bill
does pass he can take to himself credit for
|centralizing responsibility for more eff
cheney i'll the conduct of the war. The Over
man bill is aimed to get, from another angle,
what the Chamberlain war cabinet measure
was intended to secure. 1t remains to be
seen whether it will be successful.
In sponsoring this bill President Wilson
has, as in previous times of stress, taken the
burden of responsibility all to himself He
shows no fear and is evidently confident of
his ability to secure men capable of leader
|ship in the various branches of service, as
well as in the greater task of originating and
carrying forward an adequate cooperative
plan of action.
No pride of opinion should prevent Sen
ator Chamberlain or any other critic of the
President from wishing and praying for his
success in this gigantic task. The very life
blood of untold thousands depends upon his
success. The United States has the men
capable of performing the work the Presi-
dent has asked be assigned TO him direct
If the President will but call upon the hun
dreds who are willing, if given authority,
and not bound by time worn government
red tape, to serve the nation at this time,
without regard 10 l,aIty affiliations, past or
present, the growing list of critics will be
silenced. and Senator Chamberlain can be
credited with having forwarded worthy
object.

WHAT GERMANY TELLS HER
PEOPLE.

When the Allies drive the Ger
mans back. the Germans tell their
people that they merely moved back
to stronger position. They call II
a strategic retreat. They keep their
troops in high spirits by telling them
that their troops on another front
had pushed the enemy back with
heavy losses. For instance, they told
their troops in Flanders that their
airships and zeppelins had destroyed
London and all the forts. They also
told their troops that their spy sys-
tenn has stopped the manufacturing
in the United States. and that we will
have a revolutionary war started by
the I. w. w. | suppose they tell
their people now that we are freezing
to death by thousands on account Of
the lack OF coal.

dent Wilson, Lloyd-George and lately those
of Chancellor Hertling and Count Czeinin
are the preliminary pour parlors of peace.
Of course the representatives of the Pots
dam pirates would hardly recognize that
fact since they do not do business in that
manner, over in Germany, and in all prob
ability only distorted versions of the Presi-
dent S addresses and those of Lloyd George
have been printed in the Central Empires.
If only they were printed in full and all Of
