HARRY LAUDER’S MESSAGE
“You don’t know yet that there’s a war on, and that i'
is your war. You will soon—soon enough. When you
big ships come into port, back from the front, with mei
who will never see again, men who will never hear again
men who will never walk again, you will realize it. ou
have the atmosphere of war, but the bloody heart of it is
too far away for you to know it—yet."
That is the beginning of a message from Harry Laud
er to the American people as published in a recent numbei
of Everybody’s magazine. It might serve both as the be
ginning and the end. It would serve as such if we were
seriusly to ponder every sentence and every sentiment.
It comes from the heart and soul of a man who has been
touched in the very tenderest fiber of his being by the sac
rifice which this war demands—a sacrifice similar to that
which so many of tis must pay. It is uttered by one who
has the right to utter the most solemn injunctions to stim
ulate patriotism from a sober sense of duty.
“Do not think that 1 am bitter that my son was called
by God to make the supreme sacrifice." said this genial
and bonny Scot—the best known and possibly the best lov
ed Scotchman in all the world—in the course of another
article in the American magazine. “Killed in any other
way, in times of peace 1 think my life would have been
soured, and I would have become embittered against the
world, but dying as John Lauder did, I can only say that,
even with the knowledge of what pain his death has cost
me. 1 would send him to France again to risk his life anew
were it possible today to resurrect him from the ground.
Because since his death I have l>een to France and I have
seen the bleeding lily, and have to come to realize more
than ever that John Lauder’s life was not given in vain, or
uselessly.”
When we get the view point of this man who has su>
fered, who has seen and who knows, we will strip from us
the selfish bickerings, the disposition to consult our ease
and gratify our greed which interferes with the full dis
charge of our war duties and in many ways tends to em
barrass and impede the conduct of the war.
DEATH OF CHARLES \V. FULTON
Bv the death of ex-Senator Charles W. Fulton, the
state of Oregon sustains the loss of one of the ablest pub
lic men who have graced its records. Many eminent Ore
gonians have been more distinguished for length of ser
vice than Mr. Fulton, but none excelled him in the bril
liancy and value of the service rendered.
When Charles W. Fulton went to Washington to rep
resent his state in the United States senate, Oregon was
not prominently before the country through any manifest
ation of statesmanship on the part of its congressional
delegation. When Senator Fulton was fairly in the har
ness and got the tugs straightened, so to speak, Oregon
was carried into the forefront of all statesmanlike debate
and activity.
By his industry and his superior intellectual attain
ments Senator Fulton soon made a place of leadership for
himself, not so much in political organization and policy
as in the thought and debate which determined questions
of great economic and financial import to the country.
Jn the council of debate, and in the value of his committee
work. Senator Fulton commanded the highest respect of
the senate. To a mind richly stored he brought marvel
ous industry, and no senator of his time thought more
clearly, or succeeded in making his thought of great prac
tical effect than he.
A BATTLE ON THE HOME FRONT
On Oregon’s historical record the name of Charles W.
Fulton is inscribed as that of one of the ablest public ser
vants of the state in the nation’s councils; and it will so
remain.
With a new movie theatre in Seward nearly ready for
the opening and another theatre building to be construct
1 ed here in the spring, amusements for this city are look
, ing up. The Arctic Brotherhood also intends to make a
real stage for drama in the big hall. All of these are most
interesting things for local citizens.
Herring at $23 a barrel was a recent quotation at
1 Seattle. The waters near Seward recently teemed with
i herring and the Seattle market is now handling the Alas
ka product. Several parties in Seward are contemplating
herring plants and it all means that this locality will keep
right to the front as usual.
Everything is war talk and doings these days. The
transportation men are eyen handling war stamps, doing
i heir bit to help Uncle Sam.

TWO CANADIAN
CHILDREN ARE
GIVEN MEDALS
LONDON, Feb. 11.—In recognition

by the cougar. They were almost up
on the animal before they saw it
crouching in a path at a corner.
The cougar first sprang upon the lit
tle girl and she was knocked down
with her face to the ground, the ani
mal being on her back, lne ooy at
once attacked the cougar with his fists
and riding bridle driving the animal
off the girl. It then attacked him and
his companion getting to her feet,
came to his rescue, fighting with her
clenched hands and bridle, even put
ting her arm into the cougar’s mouth
to try to prevent it from biting hnn.
She succeeded in getting it off the
boy. It then stood on its hindquar
ters and fought with her but evident
ly was disturbed by some sound as it
presently slunk away and ran unocv a
h>g. when it was afterward killed.
The cougar measured over 7 feet j
from nO'*e to tip of tail.
