MISTAKES OF STATESMEN

+ The greatest crimes Of history have
been committed by statesmen. who
probably, in most cases, thought, or
made themselves think. that they were
planr1e for the welfare Of their own
states, and OF humanity. II we take

the Balkan states, as fixed by the
treaty If San Stefano, after the Russo

and that nothing must be permitted
to Interfere with the conduct Of the

been equally firm and resolute, His
leadership has been OF the kind that
commands confidence.
This Is time when the usual nol-

for displacing one ofiicial and put

that under Governor withycombe's

oRnGoN,s WAR GOVERNOR

Since the United States declared
war on Germany little over n year
ago, Oregon has made a patriotic re-
cord that causes every citizen TO
swell with pride. II was the hrst
state to complete mobilization. IT'S
percentage OF volunteer enlistments
Is the highest In the United States,
II has done It's full part In every
patriotic drive that has been carried
on, II was It's hrst state In the
Union to complete its quota OF the
third liberty loan,
A. the time when practically the
entire West was struggling with the
I. W W. problem. Oregon was al
most wholly free from the troubles
fomented elsewhere by this vicious
organization and Ms essential war
industries were not deranged and

nous with patriotism. and at The

history Oregon has become model
for the rest OF the states.
