wardes. the English genius of musical
plays, who gave us all the famous
list of Gaycty~ and Days Theatre
shows, had a personal hand. At the
beginning of the war Mr.. Edwardes
was caught at Homburg. where he
was taking the baths, and interned by
the Germans. During his captivity he,
endured such hardships that his fall
ing health was completely broken. and
he lived only n short while after his
return to London. Nevertheless that
time was long enough for Mr.. Ed
wardes to confide to his veteran stage
or-affectionately known to all
the London theatrical. fraternity as
Pat Malone, the complete details of
the production he had planned for the
piece For Mr.. Edwardes had beguiled
the time OF his captivity by planning
out every detail CT the most pictur-
esoue romantic musical play he had,
ever done at Days Theatre. and al
though the suspicious Boches would
not permit him to take any manu-
script or notes with him when he re-
turned to London, Mr.. Edwardes had,
It all planned out in his mind. and
Mr. Malone absorbed all the details
during his talks with the invalid.
Accordingly after the death of tho
famous manager the George Edwardesi
estate produced 1.-THE Maid of the,
Mountains" exactly as he had planne'
it. 1t scored lasting success, but wher!

FARM LABOR EXEMPTIONS

A careful survey of the farm labor
situation carried out in twenty five
counties of the state shows the fol-
lowing interesting facts and has
helped to bring to the attention of
the draft boards and federal author
tiles the seriousness of the labor
situation from the farmers stand
point. The same situation is also
found in the war industries.
The 1918 crop was seeded and
harvested with little or no loss on
account of labor shortage but many
men who helped during the season
have already been called and practi-
cally every county is facing a re-
duction in crop for the coming year
unless great care is used in making
exemptions. The sheep men are
suffering in every important sheep
county on account of the experienced
herders being taken. Cattle men
and the wheat farmers in the larger
nHcdI DCllS diC llttlC DCbtCi oh
In other words the farmers have
been able to get by under conditions
in the past but face more serious
situation the coming year.
Five Eastern Oregon counties re-
port a visible shortage at this time
of 1872 farm laborers and 131 stock
men. In these same counties $500
acres of land are reported idle for
lack of help to get the crop planted.
To Offset this shortage Jay Dobbins
of Enterprise, Oregon, has been ap-
pointed advisor for the Eastern
Oregon section. Those who have
skilled help subject to call should
take up with him the matter Of
claiming exemption for many who
do not wish to make that claim for
themselves. While the county agent
has received no instructions from
Mr.. Dobbins we have been instructed
from Washington D. c. to assist in
every way possible the establish
ment Of just exemption claims.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
SUPPRESS PUBLICITY.

The essence Of c. S. Jackson's tax
publication bill is that it does away
with notice to the public of the names
of property-owners whose taxes are
long pasg due. The property-owner
may postpone tax payment indefinite
ly so far as any fear of publicity is
concerned. MIR. Jacksons measure
puts an end to printing the delin-
quent tax list.
In one important way the measure
is deceptive. 1t sails under the
camouflage of substituting a mailed
notice for the published notice. In
effect, the bill proposes no such
substitution, for already each prop
erty-owner whose postoffice address
is on file with the tax collector is
notified when his taxes are due.
The only substitution there will be
in effect under the Jackson bill will
be to send another notice by mail to
follow the ineffective first notice, in
stead of publishing the list in the
county paper where the public may
read it and ascertain who the delin-
quents are. The Jackson bill in effect
substitutes suppression for publicity.
1t is notorious that the bill origi-
mates in Mr.. Jacksons desire to
punish the country press of the state
by depriving it of the little revenue
that has come to it by annual publ
cation of the delinquent tax list. If
the measure is understood by the
taxpayers and the public, it will be
defeated on its merits. Were the
motive behind it generally under
stood, it would be buried by an over
whelming negative majority as a
rebuke to the bullying tactics en-
ployed by wealthy newspaper pub
Usher to bend the small country
papers to his will or break them as
punishment for their independence
of his dictation.-Oregon Voter.

A WIN THE WAR CONGRESS-

The Main election supports the ad-
ministration's policy of force to the
bitter end. Let US elect no pacifists
this Fall. The four Congressman
elected from Maine, all Republicans,
stood BY the President when many of
his own party failed to do so. They
voted for every war appropriation, for
the conscription acts, and for confer
ring all the extraordinary powers the
President and his advisers sought.
This is goOd time for the voters to
turn down every pacifist no matter to
what party he belongs and to make
it their particular business to elect
to Congress none but those who can
be depended upon to sustain the policy
of force until Germany has been driv-
en- to her knees and a peace with vic
tory chieved-Leslie's Weekly.
The same may be said of the four
Republican Congressman from Oregon
Senator McNary and Representa-
tives Hawley, Sinnott and Macarthur.
They have unhesitatingly given the
President the support he has sought
in carrying out his effective war pro-
gram. Governor Withycombe also has
cooperated in every war activity.
Their records stand 100 per cent
There is no excuse for replacing these
trustworthy and dependable public Of
ficials in these critical times by un-
trained and inexperienced men. The
voters of this state will fall short of
their patriotic duty if they neglect to
reelect Senator McNary and Represen-
tatives Hawley, Sinnott and Macarthur,
and Governor Withycombe.
