The credit of the United States was so high and unquestionable that In 1900, two years after the Spanish war, 2 per cent bonds were offered at par and oversubscribed. ' This 1b a financial performance no othor nation has ever equaled. United States four per cent bonds In 1888 sold as nign as iau aim 1901 brought 139 7-8 on the stock market. , The United States has never de faulted on any of Its bonds. Not one of its bondholders has ever lost a cent of principal or interest except those who voluntarily have taken losses by selling their bonds In a period of temporary price depression. One hundred cents on the dollar, principal and Interest, has the United States always paid. Back of the $250,000,000,000 to $300,000,000,000 of our national resources stands the rugged honesty of America. Liberty loan bonds are the safest security in the world. The Oregon division of public In formation about the war has found another series of lies about the war. Stories are being circulated that un named privates have been sentenced to long terms In prison for minor of fenses; that a number have been shot for Insubordination; that certain of ficers have confiscated the supplies Bent over for somebody's boy. Now listen. These are German propa ganda stuff, and should have no at tention from any loyal citizen. ; Smart Coats for Easter , We want you to see our jnany smart offerings in Spring Coats garments particularly appropriate for Easter Morn. You'll enjoy viewing our line of coats, and we will enjoy showing them to you. The Oregon division on public In formation about the war has issued a statement In which it asks the peo ple to be careful about whom they talk to at any time. Germany has a lot of sbles In Oregon who are eager ly picking up any sort of Informa tion. Therefore, If you know any thing keep It to yourself, or tell It directly to a 'representative of the government. There are grave robberB and there are those who soek to capitalize the war and rob the government on army contracts. The grave robbers should feel disgraced to be classified with these others. Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Den mark and Holland have been watch ing the war so long at close range that they appear to be getting dizzy and may fall In. Starvation over much of the old world ought to give Impetus to the war gardening In the now, as other wise there may be some stnrvntlon hero. Just when muckraking was under stood to be tabooed, along comes a lecture on the "History and Work of CongreBs." Pictures of French girls walking arm-in-arm with the Sammies ought to boost the heglra of young Ameri can nurses to the front. Beer is no longer to be made In Germany, no, not evon for the army. Now the stiiko Hltuatlon may really go on the hop. In this balmy weather we can turn our minds without a shiver from the coal shortage to tho Ice shortage. Today was the first day of balmy Bpring. Take that suit of woolen underwear off nud give It to tho Belgians. The revolution In Costa Itlca is doubtless duo either to German ma chinations or to Bolshcviki ploir,. Classic Coats Stylishly Distinctive There's a world of difference in "coats" and as a discriminating buyer, you know that your Easter coat must possess style as well as the best of materials. You wouldn't be happy in the most durable of coats unless it was designed with taste to suit your particular demands. This feature is predominant in Classic Coats.

"The announcement is humiliat ing to the republican party, and must biej lhumtllatinK to the secretary," said a prominent republican in com menting upon it. "That the editor of the Cottage Grove Sentinel should question the republicanism of the secretary of state was not surprising, for, besides managing the gubna torlal campaign of ex-Governor West and receiving as a reward appoint ment as secretary, of state, demo cratic political war horses have been promoting his candidacy. I was amazed, however, to learn that the secretary would assume that the rank and file of his party questioned bis republicanism to the extent that he considered necessary a ' public promise that If successful at the pollB he would' not appoint a democrat to the highest office within the gift of the people." "The republican party In Oregon is Indeed in a sorry plight when a candidate tor governor on its ticket must assure the voters that he will not appoint a democrat to the senate If elected," said another. "Inciden tally the republicanism of the candi date must also have been reduced to a sorry state, and he himself regards It as such. Instead of convincing me that he is really a republican, the statement of the secretary has caiiB ed me to believe more firmly than ever that he Is a democrat masquer ading in the republican fold." Repeatedly a story has been pub lished that Senator Chamberlain con templates resigning near the close of his term and accepting a position on the appellate court at San Francisco, and that the secretary of state was being groomed by democrats for gov ernor that he might appoint ex-Governor West as a successor to Senator Chamberlain. Apprehensions that this story and his democratic alli ances were militating too heavily against him is believed to have prompted the secretary to issue the statement. GET BEHIND AND BOOST.
