sembled at Washington are
right. There is too much leni-
ency toward spies and to6much
freedom for those holding Sc
ditious views.
America is at war for great
cause. 1t is war that is call
ing for tremendous energy
and sacrifice. The nation is
putting up money by the billi-
ons. Our boys are responding
nobly to the call for service.
Those now in France daily risk
their lives on the altar of pa
triotism.
Under such circumstances
we cannot safely show toler-
ance for obstructionists and
traitors at home. Internal enc
mics may prove more deadly
than any other kind if left
alone. Russia fell because that
unhappy country allowed the
kaiser's propagandists to work
among the Russian people.
They debauched the country
and it now totters helpless and
all but destroyed.
Our government should take
hold of seditionists with a firm,
determined hand. 1t should
be backed up by earnest, or
ganized effort on the part of
the people in every county in
every state in the nation.
Through the Patriotic Service
League this county has made
a good start toward carrying
out such work. There should
be no turning back.
Give the knockers and dis
loyalists chance and they will
render Uncle Sam impotent as
a war wager.

the existing 4th Section of the Inter
state Commerce Law, the Commission
can and may grant.
A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress by Representative Hayden
amending the law so that the 4th
Section will be inflexible, and that it
will be unlawful for a cerrier to
charge more for a shorter than fer a
longer haul in the same direction, the
shorter being introduced in the lon
ger.
The intermediate Rate Association,
of which Honorable j. F. Shauehnessy
of the Nevade Railroad Commission
is President, has been established in
Washington for the purpose of using
the interests of the interior countr
in behalf of the bill. Enclosed copy
of letter to Mr.. Shaughnessy is
self-eXplanatory.
In the event the bill introduced by
Mr.. Hayden becomes a law. Eastern
Oregon will always receive lower
rate than the coast points from the
east, thus making larger Eastern Ore
gon towns distributive points This is
comething we of Eastern Oregon have
been striving for for years and this is
our one golden opportunity. All East
ern oregon should lend all the assis-
tance possible toward the enactment
of the Hayden Bill, and suggest that
local people write our representatives
in Congress, urging their support.

HAS NO CHANCE
Put a few drops on that old
touchy corn then lift it
out without pain


ouch :? ! ! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less her in town If
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of a drug called freezone when APP
piled to tender, aching corn stops
soreness at once. and soon the corn
dries up and lifts right out without
pain. A delightful surprise awaits
all who try this.
He says freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries Immediately and
never inflames or even irritates the
surrounding tissues or skin. A quar-
ter of an ounce of freezone which viii
cost very little at any drug store, is
said to be sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or callus from ones
feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration of the high heels.

THE ARMY AS A TEACHER

6N army officer recently
II visited the training camps
of our new national army.
The spirit of democracy that
he found there astonished him.
In the Red Cross Magazine he
writes enthusiastically: "Whe-
ther your boy" he says, "is a
private or an officer you can
rest assured that he will come
out of this war a manlier man.
He will have more self-reliance,
be more courteous, display a
greater quality of fair play
and justice and know better
how to obey as we'll as how to
lead. The army is a wonder
full leveler. The so-called
'high-brow,' the 'rough-neck,
the wise and the foolish are all
on the same plane. Every one
fights fer the same cause. The
coal heavens son and the bank
er's favored boy, the farmer
lad and the young millionaire
all march side by side, sharing
the same hardships, discom-
forts and dangers at times, and
enjoying the identical pleas
ures,, athletics and joys Incl
dent to a soldiers life. There
is no better school in the world
for teaching a young man the
lessons of life than the army
and we shall, before the war
is over, owe a debt never to be
forgotten"

FROM THE PEOPLE
April 5. 1918.

April 5, 1918.
Editor, East Oregonian:
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion decided in the Trans-continental
Rate case that the water competi-
tion, which lower rates were granted
for no longer existed and instructed
the railroads to reconstruct their
tariffs, making interior points take
as low and in some instances lower
than Portland. This has been done,
and effective March 18th, the new
tariffs went into effect.
1t is feared by representative busi-
ness interests in the intermountain
territory that when the war is over,
the water competition will be restor-
ed and that the railroads will petition
the 1. c. c. to restore the low rates
to the coast and allow them to charge
more to the interior, which, under

THE TIME WILL COME

n OLLOWING the first few
days of the great battle
that began some 10 days
ago news dispatches referred
at times to the allied "army of
manouver" reputed to be some
where behind the fighting lines
and ready to strike at a strate-
gic point. 1t was the supposi-
ton that this army would be
used in a counter attack upon
the Germans.
AS yet no such blow has been
given. Is this because the logi-
cal time has not arrived? The
question is one which many are
asking. Holding the enemy on
the Somme and blocking the
capture of Amiens is hopeful of
course. But it is going to take
more than defensive fighting
to whip the Huns. In time the
allies must be able to move for
ward, throwing the enemy
back upon the Rhine. That we
will do so in good time all, be-
lieve. However, the proper
time to strike is a problem for
the commanders rather than
for fireside strategists. Let us
hope though that when the

OVERTON OF YALE
KILLED IN ACTION
Famous Distance Runner Victim on the
Marine July 19-Was Lieutenant
in Marines.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 2l.-J. M.
Overton of this city received yesterday a
letter announcing that his son, Lieut..
John w. 0verton, famous as Yale ath-
lete, was killed in the battle of the Marine
on July 10. The news came in letter
from a friend who said he helped bury
Oyerton on the battlefield.
John W. Overton was one of the best
long distance runners ever developed at
Yale and was captain of the track team.
While student at the university Overton
won the intercollegiate cross country
championship twice, defeating big field
of competitors in 1915 and again the fol
lowing year
He ran second to Potter of Cornell in
the two-mile championship run of, 1915
and finished third in the mile year
later Overton Won a place on the All
| American track team at 1000 yards in
1916, when he was the record-holder foI
! that distance.
| Soon after the United States entered
the war he enlisted in the marine corps
and was later made lieutenant.
