OF BOARD
MEMBERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.
That the United States navy
have a fleet second in size to no
other nation in the world was
urged today by Admiral Badger
of the general board of the navy
before the. house committee on
the question Of ways and
means.
The suggestion was received
with enthusiasm by al mem
bers present and some little
time was given over to the SUBJ
ject of charging both our fleet
of battleships and submarines.
1t has been recommended
that the. addition he started at
once and finished by no later
than the fall of 1926. Wooden
vessels are to be. discarded as
well as number of small steel
boats, the carrying capacity of
which is not great enough to
warrant their being used. This
was found out in the late war.

IR. E. SUMMERS is
SUMMONED

Time passes relentlessly on and
just as inexorable is the passing
of the pioneers-those men who
came here before Gillian was q
county and with an indomitable
and fearless purpose in hardships
and privasions carved out of the
wilderness one Of the best coun-
ties of a great state. Emmett
Summers was one of these and
he has been called to his reward.
He was one Of the first on Matney
Flat and he settled there and
made a home. He was one of
the best citizens of Gillian county
and his passing leaves a vacancy
that is hard to fill.
Robert Emmett Summers was
born January II, 1865. in Lexing-
ton, Missouri, ard moved in
March. 1881, to Arizona with his
father who had taken railroad
construction contracts there. Soon
after going there his father died
and, though but a boy. he carried
out those contracts in COMPANY
with w. j. Russell. He came to
this section Of Oregon in 1888
and settled on Matney Flat
November IL of that. year. He
took up pre-emption and timber
culture claims there and bought
land from time to time until his
holdings were large but he never
used his homestead right. He
was united in marriage January
10, 1897. to Marie A. Schilling.
Ia addition to his wife he leaves
two sons, Robert Edward and
Herbert Emmett, and three sis
ters. Mrs. j. C. Cooney. Mrs.
W. J. Russell and Mrs. W. ].
Smith, all living in this vicinity.
Two years ago. his health failing,
he moved to Portland and there
he died October rs. 1918. The
body was shipped to Condor and
funeral services. conducted by
Fathers O'Rourke and Wand,
were held in the Catholic church.
A large crowd gathered there
and probably more were at the
grave to honor the memory of a
highly respected friend and
neighbor.

MORALE WINNING
THE WAR
BY Bruce Barton


Back from the line they came,
their minds full Of pictures that
refused to fade.
They did not smile; they did not
joke; they did not speak. Like
men grown old In q single night
they dropped heavily upon the
ground. their eyes staring cold
before them.
In q moment the hut door
opened and a Secretary came out.
His eye took in the situation at q
glance. II was no time for talk;
he turned back into the hut
again.
And suddenly baseball rolled
out and bounded on the ground; /;
then came q bat; and gloves. and
q catcher's mask.
A man who sat beside the hut
picked UP the ball and turned it
idly In his hand as IL il had been
some foreign thing. Another
man picked up the bat; a third
played absently with q glove.
Then, like fame out of smolder.
Ing embers. a baseball game was
born full.fledged behind that
little hut. The air was filled
with laughter. and the loud
shouts of men whose minds are
cleansed Of every worry. and
whose hearts are free.
SO peace came to those men
who had been so burdened with
their memories. And in the
morning they were fresh, as men
who had never fought.
They call it morale-the miracle
that restores mems spirits and
sends them back every morning
fresh and confident.
You have today your chance to
contribute to morale. II Is q
chance you must not miss.
For morale is winning the war.

WHY Be CROOKED
in POLITICS?

As~s b'"J SfNetO bothO AH pOh-
tics? Why not lay the cards on
the table and tell the voters the
whole truth. instead of camou-
fiaging the points the voters
should know, in considering the
proposed delinquent tax bill
amendment.
Recently the Journal has de-
voted considerable editorial space
in discussing the proposed law.
The sum and substance of the
Journals wall was a hint that
the Oregon press will not discuss
the bill on its merits.
Nothing could be further from
the truth. The press of Oregon
has been discussing the bill on its
merits for several weeks, and all
the while Editor Jackson, the
millionaire proprietor of the
Journal, who fathers the proposed
amendment, has cleverly covered
up the most important feature OF
the present bill. Has the reader
ever seen it mentioned in The
journal columns that the present
delinquent tax publication law
provides for printing the delin-
quent list only after personal no
tice has been sent out to the tax
payer? This is the fact. and yet
the ordinary, sane. and in fact
the only inference that can be
drawn from the Journals editor
ials is that the great Sam Jack
son has devised a law to do away
with publication of delinquent
lists and substitute instead a
wonderfully efficient plan of per-
sonal notification by mail. He
would have the voters believe
that there is no mail notice pro.
vided at present.
Let the present delinquent bill
alone. 1t is the fairest piece of
legislation of its kind of any state
in the union. Why? Because it
provides for a mailed notice to
be sent out. and as a precaution-
ary measure, it provides that
where mail notice is ineffective,
then and then only, may publica-
tion be made.
The tax collectors books are
filed with mistaken addresses,
people are continually moving
and changing about. The publ
cation in the home paper will
always reach them, either di.
rectly, or through friend, rela
tive or neighbor.
The bill was passed by our
legislature to protect the unfor-
tunate delinquent property owner
from the title grabber and others
Of his stripe. Cut out the publ
cation proviso and you let down
the bars for the title grabber and
shyster to ''pick up" some easy
money-and you foot the bill.
The publication is not a public
charge or public expense. The
Journals economy" dirge is
patheticaliy funny. all things
considered. The county does
not pay out one red cent for de-
linquents' publication. The man
who permits his taxes to go by
default alone must pay the bill.
The county has nothing to do
with the matter.
These are the things you never
see in the Journal editorial col.
umns. WHO is discussing the
tax bill OH it's merits Millionaire
Jackson or the country editor?
Who is p laying the square game.
Show your contempt for such
systern of poisoned propaganda
BY voti,ng mo" on every bill
that bears the jackson trade
mark.
