PENRosE THE LIABILITY

~ rose becoming chairman
of the senate finance
committee is still being waged
by progressives of the Repub-
lican party. One of the latest
efforts against the Pennsylva-
MIA senator is in the form of an
open letter from Clifford Pin
chot. Mr.. Pinchot las sent the
East Oregonian a copy of his
appeal.
The following shows its
trend:
The name Of the Chairman of the
Committee on Finance will he insepa-
rabIy attached to the coming Repub-
lican tariff bill, which will probably
be more widely known and discussed
by our people, than any other bill be-
fore the next Congress. 1t will be ar
gued by the Democrats that you could
not be chairman of so important a
Committee and in charge of so cru
ciaI a bill unless the Old Guard were
in control of the Republican party.
This argument is likely to be effect
i've with great numbers of progressive
Gratis disguised with Wilson and anxi-
Gus to vote against him If they can.
If you write the next Tariff bill. the
people Will believe, and they are like
Iy to be right, that it is unduIy favor
able to special privilege and monO-
poly. The Payne AIdrich Tariff bill
was fatal TO the Republican party in
1912. What would a Penrose tariff
do TO it in 1920?
You are liability The undivided
support OF iall the forces you repre-
sent would fail far short of carrying
the ReDublican party to victory in
1920, even if the liquor interests had
not lost their strangIehoId on Amer
ican politics
On the other hand. the Republican
party cannot win against the Demo-
Gratis unless the farmers, the women,
the progressives, and some of the Or
ganized workers vote with us. Your
name as Chairman of the Committee
on Finance would go far to insure
their hostility to the Republican
party.
What will Penrose do?
~~~~~~O~-e-es~~
1t seems the state senate has
passed a bill for a state militia
which if formed will not be SUBJ
ject to call by the governor un-
less the militiamen wish to re-
spond. Such militia would
be much like the Russian army
after the radicals put their ia
nous order No. 1 into effect.
Order No. l relieved soldiers
from the necessity of obeying
officers and aside from destroy
ing the army did no harm.

Sunday, December /; 1913.
my dear Dad:
"This is very beautiful day and
i think II shall take advantage OF it
and take a long walk after dinner
Probably to some shell wrecked
town to the North. Plenty to see
and to occupy ones mind around
here. If l only had camera and
could take some pictures it would
be just great. 1t is understood that
we can tell our whereabout and what
we have done and what we expect to
do T took advantage of that and told
you some things i'm the last letter.
No doubt the time will come i'm the
very near future that the letters will
not be censured at all. / hope very
soon. Have not had a letter for
quite a while. Have no possible way
of getting it. But hope in day or
so to get back to Toul and get it.
Feeling just great as are the other
boys here with me. We are doing
our own cooking for few days,
Not 50 bad, but it could be lots bet
ter, of course. II hope you and
mama are in the best Of health and
not rushing work too hard. Surely
would like to be home by the 25th,
but if 1 get there by the Xmas of
1919 l shall be very we'll satisfied
No doubt by the time this letter
reaches you it will not be many
nights to Xmas. So 7 will wish you
and mama that the Xmas of 1918
will be the merriest of all your
Christmases, and the New Year will
be the happiest and most prosperous
Of your life. Will close wishing you
we'll, much love.

Dear Mother and All at Home:
will try and write you a few
lines in answer to your kind and most
welcome letter which ! received the
other day and was glad to hear from
you once again. Have been looking
for letter for some time, the last
| heard from home you told me that
Bill was down with the flu so have
been waiting patiently to find out
how he made out. Well I'm still
waiting but here's hoping he pulled
through all right. The flu sure has
been playing hell this year. It has
knocked off few Of the fellows who
came over with me including Captain
White. He used to be my captain,
guess you remember me speaking of
him before left the States. 7 don't
lived then he was. He sure was one
fine man and every inch soldier
Well, when the old man says fall in
there is no use kicking, we all have
to come to it some day sooner or
later. You wanted to know if I had
received the Advocate, no not yet
Have been receiving the Sun right
along for the past month. Guess the
Advocate Willbe coming after while
Mail has been scarce the last couple
of weeks. Well, the Huns sure found
out who was boss all right. She
ended with crash and the funny
part of it was the three elevens,
month, day and hour. Well, I pre-
dicted it would be over by Thanks
giving. Have another prediction
now and also a few BETS Will tell
you more how they turn out later
We are still living around the same
old place, yet have been slated to
move a couple times but each move
was cancelled. Don't know when we
will start West but hope to be home
in time for Easter at the worst.
Guess I must stop for this time.
This leaves me well and hope it will
find you all the same.
with love to all, + remain Id
ever,

heavy toll taken from us but no one
can say that any unit in the old 18th
failed to do their bit. Old Fritz
could not stop them. We always got
what we were after and were right
in it until the wind up. Well, Sher-
