PREPAREDNESS AND PUSH.
(Leslie's)

The testimony of Secretary of War
Baker, appearing the second time be-
fore the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, was more full and frank
than on the former occasion. When
asked BY Senator Chamberlain why
the facts he disclosed had not been
revealed before, the Secretary refer
red to the general reluctance of mill
tary men to publish details OF war
plans. But in the public support of
Senator Chamberlain in his charge
that the War Department had fallen
down there was no demand to pub
lish military secrets. Public opinion
recognizes the danger of saying too
little as we'll as the danger of saying
too much. The public knew all had
not been going we'll in our military
preparations and felt entitled to know
the facts. We have them, but they
were forced out.
The feature of Senator Chamber
lain's speech which most aroused the
country was that dealing with hospit-
ais and the care of the sick. On the
testimony of Surgeon-General Gorgas
cantonments were in general pretty
we'll completed before the hospitals
were commenced, although it was
General Gorgass advice that this or
der should have been reversed. The
makeshift hospital without heat or
proper equipment increased the death
rate, which was further increased by
tie lack of trained nurses. Particu-
larly alarming has been the death
rate from pneumonia, a decrease in
which intelligent nursing enters lar
gely into recovery. DR.. S. Adolphus
Knopf, a captain in the Medical Re
serve Corps, writing with the high
authority of the urgeon-General OF
the United States in the New York
Medical Journal, said: May criminal
negligence of this character never
again darken the bright pages of the
history of Americas S entrance into the
world war, and may we learn lesson
through this sad experience
The Chamberlain charges show
that the Government should take the
public into confidence in war prepar-
ations. In a republic the people will
respond with every necessary sacri-
flee when this is done. A second
gain should be found in cutting out
partisanship and the red tape of Off
cialdom, and putting the best busi-
ness minds of the country in charge
of the great business of war.

From present indications, the iron
horse will soon be supplanting the
horse of flesh In Morrow county.
What farmer is there today who hit
cEes up the old nags when he comes
70 town? The majority Of them so
out and crank up the tin Lizzy Or
step into their big touring car. The
old driving team is left to their own
pleasures In the pasture, When
plowing season rolls around, a great
many of the farmers use tractors to
pull their plows and harrows. Ma
chinery at harvest time, either steam
or gas, grinds out the grain erd again
the horse is counted out. The past
season saw large quantity of wheat
hauled to the market with auto
trucks. When good roads become the
prevailing style in highways, the
horse will be counted out more than
ever.

STANFIELD. THE MAN OF THE
HOUR,

One TO the states really big men
has visited Coos County this week.
In this we refer to Hon. Robert N.
Stanfeld, of Stanfield, Oregon, speak
er of the House of Representatives.
He is man equally we'll known with
leaders of the state, and few indeed
have a more charming personality.
Incidnetally we mention he is can
didate for higher honors, that of re-
presenting the state in the United
States Senate. His excellent record
as citizen of Oregon, a trail blazer,
having practically built the city
which he halls from and in which
the people have chosen the name in
his honor. He has shown his ability
as Speaker of the House and those
who have watched his career are GER
tain that his services will be most
appreciated in the greater opportun-
ity, that of doing something as SEN
ator from Oregon. Few men, indeed,
there are who possess the qualiflca.
tions necessary to make a success or
even a mere mark in the world while
serving as United States Senator, and
when 1t Is known that man so rich
ly endowed really wants the place, is
willing to sacrifice golden opportuni-
ties In q business way to serve the
state, we should appreciate the op-
portunity OF securing his services and
give him the toga with vote of suffi-
cient majority to prove there is no
mistaken condolences expressed.
Mr.. Stanfield is man big enough
to conceive of and work for the lar
gest interests of the state. He Is
likewise big enough to give the mer-
est detail his closest attention. Why
not decide right now to send him to
Washington and see If Oregon can
not be lifted out of this rut?

SOLDIERS IN POLITICS.

When the boys come back they
will run politics and don't you forget
1t.
They will make the speeches. Our
spreadeagle spellbinders who stayed
at home and made patriotic speeches
will hardly get a look-in after the
soldiers and sailors come back.
In everything the men who offered
their tlocd will have the preference
over those who simply gave money.

failed to go to war will have very
little chcnce to make himself felt.
1t is we'll that this is so. 1t will
be poor day for America when the
soldiers and sailors are not honored
before all others.-Oregon Voter.

TRANSPORTING AND
STORING WHISk y

For some time members of the, po-
lice force have had their attention di-
rected to a colored woman named Mel
lie Dudley, residing in an alley on
Queen street, between Royal and Pitt
street, it being generally believed that
liquor was being dispensed by the
woman. The house has been searched
at times, but no evidence could be Sc
cured. This afternoon, however,
Sergeant Scott and Officer Reed saw a
young colored woman named Martha
Whitsett, bearing a satchel, proceed
to the place, and entering few min
utes later the officers found that the
Dudley woman had taken possession
of the receptacle. The officers Sc
cured the satchel and upon opening it
found it contained about two gallons
of bottled whisky. They placed both
women under arrest, charging one
with transporting and the other with
storing liquor, in violation of the
Mapp law. They were arraigned a
few minutes later. The woman who
had transported the liquor pretended
ignorance of the contents of the
satchel. Both were held for the ac-
ton of the grand jury.

THE PREVAILING HOT WAVE.

the weather since last Sunday has
not only been the hottest of the pres
ent summer, but it exceeds that of
any since 1881. The mercury yester-
day went as high as ia degrees, and
outdoor occupations were rendered
dangerous. 40 the close of yesterday
the mercury stood at 101.
Conditions last night were most try
ing. Sleep with many was impossible.
Perspiration stood in beads upon those
who managed to doze for few mo-
mcnts, while cross children tossed and
fretted until daybreak There were
no bree3es 20 refresh man or beast,
the leaves upon trees being as notion
less as those in pictures.
There were no cases Of prostration
hereabouts, so far as can be learned.
In other sections, however, there was
much distress.
The highest temperature ever re-
corded for August in many cities, ag-
gravated by great humidity, caused
intense suffering throughout the coun-
try.
No cessation of the heat is promised
by the weather bureau for the next
two days.
Prostrations and deaths from the
heat were many. There was much
distress among the poor and espe-
cially among infants in the larger
cities. as milk and other foods spoiled
rapidly.

SPAIN IS INDIGNANT.
Acts of German Submarines Cause
Resentment Among Castilians.

Paris, Aug. THE Indignation in
Spain over muzzling Of the press to
prevent outbreaks of criticism on the
sinking of Sanish ships by German
submarines has reached point where
it may cause a Government crisis.
La Publicidad, of Barcelona, pop
ular party journal and always of mod
crate tone, bitterly laments that the
right of expressing Indignation
against acts committed by Germany
at sea has been denied to Spanlards.
In the interior, where spying, saho-
tage and undetermined propaganda
flourish, the liberal press severely
criticizes the espionage law on the
ground that in the absence of the
strong light which the papers threw
On Germany's murderous acts against
neutral shipping they will continue
those acts in greater boldness than
before.
The French newspapers regret that
the able Premier of Spain should per
nit legislation of such nature to
ALLEVIATE the support CT so large
section of the press.
