A WORTHY CANDIDATE

w. e. McCrOskey of Palouse has
formally announced his candidacy
for the democratic nomination for
representative in congress from this
district. He is worthy candidate in
every sense of the word. During his
long residence in Whitman county he
has well earned the reputation of
being an able and Trustworthy law
yer, clean and right-living man, a
public spirited and useful citizen, a
loyal and patriotic American. There
is nothing in his record to cover up
and nothing to be ashamed of, as
his neighbOrs who have watched his
career from his boyhood days, will
take pleasure in testifying, because
they all trust, admire and like him.
He has never asserted any claim
to leadership in the business and DO
litical life of the community where
he has resided for so many years. but
the responsibilities of leadership
have steadily been thrust upon him,
and he has never shirked nor slight
ed them nor failed to measure up to
any trust reposed in him.
He will prove strong candidate
because of his cordial, friendly way
of meeting all classes of people, his
ability as a sound and logical reason
er, and as a lucid and forceful speak
err. His long and consistent record
as a loyal and unselfish party work
er will appeal to democrats and his
fearless, outspoken and broad
guaged Americanism will appeal to
all patriotic citizens.
A close personal friendship of
over 20 years may to some extent in
fluence one mans estimate of an
others qualifications for public Of
flee, but it also enables me to I'M
reservedly vouch for the genuine pa
triotism and trustworthiness of w.
e. McCroskey.

GEDDES ONCE WAS
US. RAIL MAN
Britisher Learned Much of the
Human Side of Life on
Pennsylvania

Sir Eric Geddes, civilian head of
the British Admiralty, was once a
railroader in the United States.
Sir Eric" he was asked, "it has
been variously reported at one time
or another that you were a brake
man, a flagman and a conductor
when you worked in the United
States. Would you mind saying just
which it was?"
"All three" replied the civilian
head of the greatest navy in the
world, with a broad grin softening
the lines of a face as strong and res
olute as many an artist might create
in duplication of the hard-fisted,
stand-up fighting man.
1t was as a young man that he
had his most interesting experiences
in this country. He came to the
United States very determined and
earnest young man, who had to
make his own way in the world and
who felt that America was a land of
broader opportunities than any
other.
In the lumber camps of West Nir-
ginia, on the Baltimore and Ohio,
and afterward for a time on the
Pennsylvania, he learned much that
has made him what he is to-day.
He learned much of the human side
of life as well as the practical. and
he gained railway experience
which, when he returned to England
soon took him to the post of direct
ing head of the Great Eastern Rail-
way, one of the big trunk lines in the
| United Kingdom.
In statement at Washington. Sir
Eric declared another great effort
by Germany's submarines is impend-
ing.
He disclosed that plans of the
enemy for what may be the final
intensified U-boat campaign of ruth.
lessness are known and that the
Allies are prepared to meet it.
No details were given by Sir Eric
nor was further information to be
obtained at the Navy Department
regarding what the American and
Allied naval chiefs have learned
There were suggestions that Ger.
