THURSDAY, MARCH 31. !"
A BIT OP FINANCIAL HISTORY.
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.

J
POSING AS REPUBLICAN
Pointing" out that never before In
the history of the republican party
has the republicanism of a candidate
seeking office under Its standard
been sufficiently adulterated to make
Imperative an assurance to the elec
torate that If elected he would not
appoint democrats to office, republi
can leaders today pronounced Secre
tray Olcott's recent announcement
that, i elected governor, he will
not appoint his democratic brother-in-law,
ex-tiovernor West, United
States senator, should a vacancy oc
cur, the most unique political docu
ment ever indltedi by a candidate,
says today's Portland Telegram.
"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.
