II FOR CANNING
PRESERVING

being received regarding sugar supplies

products, and appreciating, til e
necessity of b OF h production an d
preservation of food supplies, all manu-
facturers of essential food products are
advised that they will be able to obtain
their full necessary requirements Of
sugar for manufacturing purposes dur
ing the coming season. This applies
particularly to packers of fruits, con-
densed milk and such vegetables for
the preservation Of which sugar may be
necessary-as we'll as the housewives
for usage in preserving purposes. AS
soon as the car shortage is relieved,
Supplies of sugar will be available for

A JUST AND LASTING PEACE

The essential principles that must
underlie peace, as stated by President
Wilson, should be constantly kept in
mind. They show the greatness and I'M
selfshness and justice of Americas war
aims. Briefly they are:
G) The final settlement of this war
must be based upon essential justice
and each particular case so adjusted
as will most likely bring a permanent
peace.
CD Peoples and Provinces are not
to be battered about as if they were
mere chattels and pawns in a game.
(3) Every territorial settlement
must be made in the interest OF and for
the benefit of the populations con
cerned and not by way OF compromis-
ing claims of rival States.
az National aspirations must be ac-
corded all the satisfaction possible, with
out introducing new or perpetuating
old elements of discord.

INDUSTRIAL SLACKERS

The Stacker in industry has some
reason to feel worried over the
tendency of legislation to compel him
to go to work and continue at it.
Maryland and New Jersey already
have laws to this effect and the out
look in New York is favorable to a
similar outcome. Such laws, Of
course, interfere with the personal
liberties of the idler and loafer. But
there is clearly sound merit in these
times of much needed labor in legi-
station directed against the drones
and Migrants having the object of
making them productive.

SAYS HE is NOT GUILTY

Peter Gallant, a logging contract
or up the Chumstick valley, was
before the council of defense last
week on the charge of making re-
marks about United States soldiers.
He Indignantly denied making the
remarks charged and showed that
he had bought liberty bonds and
contributed to the Red Cross funds.
The matter is being further inves-
tigated. IF he clears himself to the
satisfaction of the council of de-
tense, we will take pleasure in
printing the fact.

Food CONSTELLATION.

The Food Administrator has direct
ed his Federal Food Commissioners in
the states to begin, on October IA,
1917, a second campaign for the en-.
rolment of women for food consarVa.
tion through the pIedge.card system.
This new campaign will continue in
tencively' for a week. Its purpose will
be to supplement the earlier campaign
for the enrolment Of women, which
was undertaken by the state councils
of defense. working primarily through
state divisions of the Woman's Commit
tee OF the Council OF National Defense
and which was terminated on Septem
her s. The first Campaign was as sue
cessful as the circumstances allowed,
but a large number of women we're
not touched thereby. II is important
that these women shall be pledged;
therefore, the cleanup" campaign
will be undertaken by the Federal
Food Commissioners on October IL.

COMPLAINT SENT
TO SEC. n 'ADO0
Claim Hallway Employees Arc Lack.
Ing In Courtesy and Consideration
10 this Public

A public meeting for railway en-
ployes was held At the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms last night for the
purpose OF discussing Director Cen
eral McAdoo's late orders relative
to courtesy and consideration ex-
tended by railroad employees to the
public since government control Of
the lines.
A complaint had been received by
the administration to the effect that
employees were not treating the pub
lie with as much consideration and
courtesy under government control
as under private management. Mr..
McAdoo. In circular letter to all
the railway employees In the United
States. says In part:
Complaints have reached me
from time 10 time that employees are
not treating tho public with as much
courtesy under government control
OF the railroads as under private con-
troll.
For many years II was popularity
believed that the public be damned
policy was not the policy OF the rail-
roads under private control. Such a
policy Is indefensibie either under
private control or government con-
troll.
My attention has also been called
to the fact that employees have some
times offered m an excuse for their
own SHORTCOMINGS. or as justifica-
tIon for delayed trains or other dif-
ficulties the statement that "Uncle
Sam is running the railroads now" or
These are McAdoo's orders etc.
Nothing could be more reprehensibIe
than statements Of this character.
and nothing could be more hurtful
to the success OF the railroad admin
istration or to the welfare OF railroad
employees themselves.
Recently the wages Of railroad
employees were largely increased. in
volving an addition TO railroad oper-
ating expenses OF more than S475.-
000. 1000 per annum. In order to
meet this increase. the public has
been called upon to pay largely In
creased passenger and freight rates.
The people have accepted this new
burden cheerfuliy and patriotically.
The least that every employe can do
In return Is to serve the public cour-
teously. faithfully and efficiently"
Addresses we're made by P. II.
lyman and c. VI. Andrews, OF Port
land. both OF whom are In the en-
ploy OF the railroads. They set forth
the necessity OF fully complying with
McAdoo..s orders. The hearty APP
plause with which they were greeted
was proof that the employees are an
xious to cooperate in every way pos
sIble with the government In the sue
cessful operation OF the lines.
The keynote OF the meeting was.
"The overthrow OF the kaiser and all
that he represents"
