IMPOSING ON UNIATILLA.
CFrom the Oregon Voter J

Umatilla county has established
such a record throughout the United
States as the leading county of its
size in all patriotic subscriptions that
there is a disposition to work Umatilla
and let the rest of the state take care
of itself.
We note that in the Armenian
Relief drive, Umatilla is the only
county reported as having contributed
anything About $1,000 is reported
to have been subscribed from this one
county for this necessary purpose.
The Fosdick Commission has
headquarters in San Francisco. 1t
has been endeavoring to deal with in
dividual counties in Oregon, to get
them to take hold of drives for sol
dier's recreation centers outside the
The object is thoroughly wor-
thy. but why should Umatilla be
singled out while other counties are
Would it not be wise for Umatilla
and other counties to refrain from
upon all drives until each
drive is SO organized with an Oregon
headquarters under such auspices
that there is a certainty that every
in the state will be called up
on to do it's share, and called upon

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
(IN ADVANCED
CAUTION is NEEDED

! "a TTENTION is called to an
~ editorial from the Oregon
Voter reproduced on this
page. Mr.. Chapman's sugges-
tions are timely. Umatilla
county has been "going strong"
on war fund contributions and
there is a growing opinion that
in some instances at least we
may have allowed our zeal to
carry us too far. This view is
beig augmented as we learn
more and more as to what the
income tax and excess profit
laws are going to do to the
county. From present esti-
mates total of one million dol
lars will be taken by the feder-
al government from this county
in taxes unless new rulings
lessons the burden. This is
something we did not fully
count upon when the various
and numerous subscriptions
were being raised.
In the future it may be well
indeed for this county to pro-
coed more cautiously with con-
tributions. We should take up
with no moves in which the en-
tire state is not organized and
no money should be raised eX-
cept for purposes that will con-
tribute to the winning of the
war. Liberty bonds and funds
that go to make our soldiers
safer and happier come under
this head. Relief funds for
stricken people, worthy as the
causes may be, are not in the
direction of war waging. The
quickest way to relieve peoples
oppressed by the kaiser is to
whip the kaiser, thus getting at
the cause of their suffering.

I. w. Gillette who recently enlisted

has written the following interesting
letter:
Waco. Texas, Jan. II, 1918.
Dear Mother, Sister and ALI
1 am feeling better today than I

Iyour letters, two from mother, one
from Levy, Ada and Hazel written the

yours about the same time you get

1 went to the base hospital for the

along fine. for he is a jolly scout and
I have . good nerve. ! don't jump and
holler when he hits a tender spot. lie
! took a. nerve out the other day and
L winked at him just as he jerked it
out, but 1 did not know that was
what he was going to do. lie almost
laughed his head off and said, You
are the damdest fellow 1 ever saw.
Haven't you got any feeling" 1 said
yes, but l am in the army now He
said. That's right my boy" and pat
ted Inc on the back. Every time l

asked all about me and | showed them
some pictures of my new outfit and

he said was. Yes. tell her she can

They think they are the only thing

We Como Rack.

Having suspended publication for n
couple of weeks due to the absence of
the entire staff the Bulldogger re-
sumes its offensive this week and ex-
poets to grow moro offensive than
ever, especially in the eyes of Kernel
Wood of Weston. We had hoped
that, upon our return, We would DO
able to spare our readers further re-
ference to Westons pet nuisance but,
taking advantage of our absence, he
has grown as noisy as II dunghill
rooster and as ruthless as n German
baby killer. Therefore, like Senator
Chamberlain, VIC feel obliged to reply.
We have no war with the good people
of Weston but as long as kernelism is
rampant there, VIC can subscribe to no
peace. Lay on, old leather lungs.

ONE people favor taking
% the war out of the hands
of the war department
and putting it into the hands of
so called supermen, in other
words men who have won re-
nown in the public eye. The
plan is precarious. The war
has taught us among other
things that administrative tai
ent is not all confined to men
who have been frequently
mentioned in the public prints.
Often the supermen have fall
len down when put to the test.
Kitchener was the English hero
of the hour when the war
broke. He was a celebrity and
deserving of his fame. But
previously unknown men who
have followed him have been
more successful than he at war
waging. Lansing, compared
to Bryan, was an unknown, yet
there are many who regard him
as a more capable secretary of
state than Bryan. Goethals was
Americas great hero on con-
struction work. Yet he and
Denman, another superman,
made endless trouble with the
shipping board until asked to
resign by the president. The OBJ
scure men who replaced them
have secured better results
than they did. Elihu Root was
one of our greatest diplomats
and he was sent as head of the
American commission to Rus
sia. He came home, saying
Russia was alright. Russia has
been in turmoil ever since. A
less distinguished and less
biased man than Root might
have grasped the situation bet
ter than he did and saved the
allied cause untold grief. The
civil war was won by a general,
Grant, who was a little man at
the beginning of the war. AS a
celebrity he did not have look
in when the war started.
A vast amount of the objec-
ton to Secretary Baker as head
of the war department arises
from the fact he was picked
from obscurity. He was not a
"big bug" in national circles.
But in view of the way our su-
permen have fallen down is not
the fact an asset rather than 4
liability?
Because Baker was not a big
man with big reputation and
following many people and |
newspapers, wanting to criti-
else someone and not daring to
attack Wilson, have abused the
secretary of war and demand |!
his removal. They have gen
orally acted without any ade-
1uate knowledge of the facts.
The President, who is in pos
session of all the facts and has
lealt with men both great and |
small says Baker is a wonder as
an administrative official. Are
we to take his judgment or the
liews of politicians and news

Doing His Bit To Help Lick The
Kaiser.

Guy Huston, Eight Mile farmer,
tells story on his young son, about
seven years Of age, which illustrates
how earnestly the youngsters of Am
erica are entering into the war spirit.
Mr.. Huston had taken his team out
into the field where he was seeding,
but before hitching up was called OF
to another point by a neighbor. He
left the team standing in charge OF
his little son. who was with him at
the time. Mr.. Huston said he was
not gone very long. but when he re-
turned the boy, the team and the drill
had all disappeared. He became
somewhat anxious and started out
hurriedly to find what had happened.
Soon he came upon the whole outfit.
The boy had hitched up the team and
was proudly going on with, his faith
er's work. The youngster is imbued
with the idea of food production.
He took the initiative. This is the
spirit you will find in the younger
generations and its the spirit that is
going to help nightly in winning the
war.
