FRANK ROSEBRAUGH
WRITES FROM FRANCE
Tells Some Things In Candid
Way About Y. M. c. A.
and Its Activities

Frank Rosebraugh in writing a let
ter to his mother, Mrs. w. w. Rose
braugh of 1864 Chemeketa street, ex-
presses a few candid opinions about
the Y. NJ. @. A. work in France and
also takes note Of other conditions.
His letter is dated May 80 and at that
time, soldiers were not permitted to
give information as to where they were
stationed. 1t is probable that he is in
central France. The letter in part is
fas follows:
eyes, we most always have a 'Y'
near us and you should know as |
write most Of my letters there. If il
were not for the 'Y',, the mothers
would receive fewer letters.
''There has been a whole lot of
grabbing over here about the 'Y' and
have seen some that l think did not
give the soldiers fair deal. But as a
whole it is doing great work and
makes a big difference in the soldiers
life, although human nature is not in
clined to give such things full credit.

Against Southern Pacific

Capital Journal special Serviee)
Dallas, July l3.-In decision hand
ed down by the supreme court this
week the case of N. c. Swenson against
the Southern Pacific railway company
was settled in favor of the plaintiff
The case originally started in the jus
4ice court and finally after a number
of appeals came before the supreme
court which sustained Judge Belts rul-
ing. The case came out of the killing
of a horse and calf by a train on the
above company tracks near the Sven
son place east of Dallas, and the COM
pany has been held liable in as much
as the right of way ait that place was
not properly fenced Oscar Hayter Of

Roof Paint for Tree
/. Wounds Is Economical Way
for Sealing Abrasions

Many orchardists and tree surgeons
have found that the best and most
economical way OF treating tree
wounds of ah kinds is to cover them
with roof paint. 1t is easy to apply
and farmers throughout the country
have used it with benefit in the treat
ment of abrasions, cuts and grating
1t is heavy enough in body to form a
thick coating over the wound, thus pre-

Enemy Aliens Should Work

Since the theory of CONSUMPTION has
been made to include economic as we'll
as military man power, so that none of
draft age shall remain idle or continue
In occupations which contribute nothing
to war, it is more pertinent than ever to
insist that rational economic policy be
applied to enemy aliens. Great numbers
OF them are either out of work or imper-
fectly employed. Although they are al
lowed to be at large, their general avail
ability is diminishing, for obvious rea-
sons. One reason is that they are looked
upon with increasing distrust, not be-
cause their behavior has changed any
for the worse, but because, as the war
develops, human feelings run deeper.
We suppose they help take care of
each other, and that many of them are
living more or less on their savings and
capital, but that does not alter the case
IN the economic sense. One who lives bv
his income alone or on his savings is one
who has stopped producing and merely
consumes, Under normal conditions this
is permissible. In war time it is not.
Every one should be productive. One
not engaged in useful work consumes the
surplus goods produced by others, and
that he may be able to pay money for
what he eats and wears is an irrelevant
consideration. The surplus of goods for
export to our army and our allies is re-
duced by just SO much as he consumes.
no matter how much he pays in money.
This is clearly recognized in the new
draft order touching men in unuseful
occupations; and also in the compulsory
work laws recently passed in New York
and other states. Yet the economic nrob-
lem presented in the case of enemv
aliens, idle or unproftably employed bv
thousands, is wholly neglected. Steps
should be taken to provide suitable work
for them, preferably under government
supervision, in order that they NAV be
safe, comfortable and economically self
sustaining. AS it is, many of them are
indirectly charge upon the country.

that candidates have already been can
vassed. Theoretically the Superintend-
ent of Schools is the executive head of
the school system. But there are two
sides to the work of the systematic edu-
cational and the business. The Superin-
tendent has about all one man can handle

this great educational concern, which
spends more than sac, 600, 900 of the tax

more. He should be man familiar with

hanger-on of the various educational fac
tons with which the city has been af-

countries in Europe could endure the
emotional burdens of the struggle. When
one reflects upon what it must mean to

would be past endurance.
Yet it is not. So far from that. there
IS a grim determination to fight It
through to the bitter end.
But let us look to our own exneri-
ence. The tremendous campaign for the
Liberty Loan, resulting in seventeen mill
ION individual subscriptions, aggreeatine
over four billion dollars, is succeeded bv
another intensive drive for the Red Cross.
And in between this, and going on every

Unfair to the President

In Colonel Roosevelt's full reply to
Postmaster General Burleson, which we
print this morning on another page, and
which will be simultaneously published
in hundreds of other newspapers, there
is the following statement:
Mr.. Bureson is, of course.
only secondarily responsible in the mat
ter Mr. Hearsts papers are so impor-
tant and Mr.. Hearst's position among the
Administrations political friends, sup
porters and advisers is so prominent and
the action in connection with rcinstating
him in his cable privileges was so purely
dependent upon the President himself,
that no subordinate of the President can
accept or be credited with the chief re-
sponsibility for any action or inaction of
the Administration in relation to Mr..
Hearst. The Administration is respon-
sible for the federation of Mr. Hearst's
antl-Ally, anti-war, and, therefore, anti
American, activities, and for the reward
nevertheless given him, and the service
rendered on the other side by Mr.. Hearst
was service to the Administration, and
not to the country"
We extremely regret that Colonel
Roosevelt has seen fit to imply that
l SoAuCIlC w IlSOi Is ulIuSClI RESPONSIBLE
for the manner in which the govern
ment has tolerated Mr. Hearst's disloyal
activities, and that this tolerance is
price paid for Hearst's political services
to Democratic Administration. We
are obliged to say that, in our opinion,
Colonel Roosevelt is unfair to the Pres
ident. He offers no evidence; his con-
clusion is deductive. From the known
state of facts we should deduce very
different conclusion, namely, that the
President, not himself reader of the
Hearst newspapers, trusted certain
members of his Administration to tell
him the kind of man Hearst was, and
that for reasons of their own they rep
resented him in saving light.
To accuse the President of tolerating
or condoning disloyalty passes the
bounds of fair and proper criticism.

thoughts of the poverty in this world and
everlasting riches in the next to stand
upon the street corners and gather the
pennies to help the wounded in France.
Literally hundreds of thousands of
men and women have turned aside from
their usual activities and occupations to
take up some kind of war work. A mill
ion and a half more have been taken into
the army and navy. Other millions are
driving rivets on ships or making NUM-
tions or doing something for the business
of war. Yet the main currents OF life
for ninety odd millions of people go on as
before. There is no lessening of expen-
diture. On the contrary, it is more eX-
travagant than ever.
All of which suggests either that there
is very considerable slack in normal
humdrum existence that war takes up, or
that war itself is tremendous stimulant
and breeds a superactive population.
This tension and drive leaves little time
for grief. But it does more. 1t opens up
an enormous number Of new channels for
achievement 1t brings opportunities for
recognition, for authority, for command,
to millions who never had it before. We
wonder if this may not explain much
of why civilized people so remarkably
bear the strain of war.

Our |!7nuasion' of France
With What Amusement and Doubt the Sensi-
tue Ally Watched Our Gigantic Preparations
Special Tribune Correspondence

~ ARTS, May 1O.-America won great
victory when she determined to
H. brigade her untried regiments with
French and British veterans and gave her
hearty Endorsement to the appointment of
Foch to the supreme command. Another
and greater victory will come later, when
Germany begins to feel the increased weight
of Allied man power brought about by this
decision.
But the immediate result did not so much
affect the forces of the Kaiser as the people
of France. BY this generous and sef-sacri-
Gcing action, the new and rather dubious
opinion of American arms that had been
growing, mushroom-like, among the civilian
population of France was withered and
blighted. France-the people of France
who had greeted the first units of the Amer
lean expeditonary force with unbounded
enthusiasm, who had lost that first tremen-
dous approval in rather humorous maze of
doubt and bewilderment, once more hailed
the men in olive drab as the rescuers and
deliverers Of their land.
