This is a part o f the public statement o f Secretary' McAdoo, given to the newspapers. It is a move to head off any program o f Wall Street to tie up money and extort enormous interest rates, as has been done hundreds o f times in periods o f stress. It is a new kind o f administration o f the United States treas ury’- It is use o f that great institution to guard industry, com merce and the people against oppression by the power o f money in times o f crises like that now present, as a result o f the war clouds hanging portentous over Europe. It is not unlike the strategy o f Lincoln, when the pressing needs o f the war made it necessary fo r him to deal with Wall street. The great bankers made their terms too extortionate, and Lincoln told them he would issue tys own money. In 1907, when the panic o f that year was at its height, New York bankers had nearly all the surplus money o f the country in their vaults, and they absolutely refused to surrender to western banks the great sums due them. A t the same time, they were extorting an interest rate o f 60 per cent on call loans, and were pocketing enormous profits by the process. Under the McAdoo order, there can be no such extortions. The power o f the United States will be exerted to prevent it. The vaults o f the national treasury will be thrown open, and the humblest bank, with proper security to offer, will be protected, and the community in which it is located be safeguarded against the loss and stagnation that was not infrequently brought about in form er times through personal dominition by a few great finan ciers over the money and credit o f the country. More than ever before, the power o f the government o f the United States is to be exercised in the interest o f all the Am er ican people.— Portland Evening Journal. Just because a person signs a petition is no cri terion they will vote for the petition when it comes election time. Up at Centralia, Wn., a petition was circulated for the recall of the mayor and city commissioners. The petition was numerously signed, far more names being secured than would be necessary to remove the officials from office. But when election time came the vote went the other way, and the recall was a failure. So, you see, you can't tell from the way a petition is signed how the signers will vote. Prominent American statesmen assure the people o f the United States that there is no cause fo r uneasiness in regard to this country being drawn into the European war. Only in case American vessels were fired upon by any o f the powers at war would the United States become involved, and then only to de mand an explanation o f the act and ask indemnity for spme. The United States can feed the larger part o f Europe in case o f a general war there, but how to ship our products there is the question. America has no merchant marine, and nearly all o f the grain and produce carrying boats that load in this country NATIONAL P resid en t........ '...W oodrow Wilson Vice Prest........ Thomas R.
