PATRIOTISM OF THE PRESS
The service rendered to the gov
ernment of the United States in the
sale of the Liberty Loan bonds of 1917
by the press of the country is record
evidence of the generous patriotism
of the newspaper men of America. It
is recorded in the pages of thousands
of American newspapers, many of
them printed in foreign languages,
from the largest daily to the smallest
country weekly. The newspapers of
the country "came across" with lib
eral donations of space in news, edi
torial, and advertising columns.
Newspaper men have observed
with deep and peculiar pleasure the
whole-hearted activity of the men of
their fraternity in the country in pro
moting the sale of the Liberty Loan
bonds. The influence and assistance
of all publications in making the loan
a success are simply incalculable.
Their efforts greatly contributed to
making it a double success in that it
was not only largely oversubscribed
dui we Liiaerty Loan Bonds were
placed in every community in the
United States, in cities and in remote
country districts, in mining towns
ana manuiactunng centers, ammg
farmers and country merchants as
well as city bankers and large com
mercial and manufacturing houses.
It was a great educational cam
paign. Readers of their country pa
per in the country homes and new
American citizens from papers print
ed in their old language, and others
just learning our language, who in
the evening spelled out the news in
the great daily papers, were inform
ed of the purposes and objects of the
Liberty Loan and instructed in the
nature, value, and terms of govern
ment bonds, especially the Liberty
Loan bonds of 1917. The whole na
tion has made a long stride forward
in financial education through the
Liberty Loan campaign of 1917 as
conducted through the press of the
country.
The country press, which without
compensation gave liberally of its
limited space, is equally deserving of
praise with the larger papers. In
their respective spheres all classes of
publications in the country covered
their field thoroughly and well. The
press of America can look back on the
work it performed for the Liberty
Loan as a great public service, ably,
thoroughly and unselfishly performed,
The following letter to the press
from Secretary McAdoo expresses his
thoughts on the subject:
The Liberty Loan campaign
was essentially one of education,
and without the generous and
patriotic support of the press of
the Nation the hope of those in
charge that it would be a popu
lar loan would not have been
realized. The untiring efforts
of the newspapers throughout
the campaign were' a constant
inspiration to the various other
groups of workers. At a time
when news space was at a prem
ium the Liberty Loan was fea
tured at length.
Newspapers and magazines,
in their news, editorial, and ad
vertising columns, fought for
the success of the loan every
step of the way. The foreign
language press, in 36 languages,
gave daily proof of the undoubt
ed loyalty of peoples of foreign
birth.
WILLIAM G. McADOO,
Secretary of the Treasury.

said that he permitted autoists to
pass him and then in an effort to
catch the machine raced his motor
cycle far beyond the speed limit, thus
falsely making it appear that the ar
rested autoist was going faster than
was actually the case. The protest
appeared anonymously in the morning
newspaper and was so blatantly a de
fense of fast drivers that its purpose
was obvious and called for no com
cent.
However, the records will show
that the speeders arrested by the of-
ftcer with but one or two exception
promptly pleaded guilty and were
glad to get off with, the light sen
tences imposed by Justices of - the
Peace Sievers, of this city, and Kelso
of Milwaukie, who have tried most of
the cases,
Comes now one W. J. Burns, who
claimed to have as his passenger,
"Gen. White," and who frankly told
Motorcycle Officer Meades he was
"licking 'er up when stopped" and
that he would lick 'er up as soon as
he left the cop. Burns, according to
Meades, also said he told Governor
Withycombe when he left Salem for
Portland that he was going to "go
some.
Perhaps he thought that mention
ing the fact that, he was going to
break the law would make him im
mune from arrest. He was rudely
disappointed when Officer Meades
stopped him near Barlow Sunday,
After parleying with the officer
for several minutes, "Gen. White"
told Meades that he would "fix it with
Sheriff Wilson and it would not have
been necesary to take the chauffeur's
name." Meades was not satisfied and
told the driver to report to Judge
Sievers Tuesday of this week. This
Burns failed to do and Constable Jack
Frost was sent to Portand to fetch
the man to answer the charge,
Burns is said to have been arrested
two or three times in Portland for
racing at 40 to 60 miles an hour,
He is the demonstrator of a powerful
automobile and probably a small fine
does not set him back very much nor
develope his respect for the law.
These kind of speed fiends should
be given a sentence for a change.
And, we shall watch with interest the
the kind of defense that is put up for
them by their anonymous friend.

MRS. HERMAN POLITZ, soprano singer, prima donna in the Portland Elks'
production of "The Sultan of Sulu," which will be given June 28, 29 and 30
for the purpose of raising funds for dependents of sailors and soldiers.
Practically everything that has been done since the war began has been done
for the soldiers at the front. There has been very little thought given to the
families that are left behind. It is these that the Elks are trying to look
after. This is a one-hundied-per-cent charity. Every dollar taken in at
the box oflice will go into the fund.

'Oldest Largest and Strongest Bank
in Uackamas County."
Though an enemy army may never
land on our shores, there is a power
ful enemy already here who annually
inflicts upon us damages totaling
$200,000,000. That enemy is FIRE.
Niles Searls, general fire inspector
for the Southern Pacific, explains just
what that $200,000,000 annual fire loss
means. The money represents:
Total amount paid out in dividends
by all the railroads in the country.
One half of all the gold and silver
mined within the borders of the Unit
ed States.
If all the buildings destroyed dur
ing any one year were erected on the
two sides of a single street, thev
would stretch out along that street
lor a thousand miles.
To accomplish this annual destruc
tion, fire starting at one end of this
street wruld have to burn at the rate
of three miles a day for every day in
tne year.
Going through such a burned
street, at every 1000 feet one would
pass the rums of a ' building from
which an injured person was being
removed, and every three-quarters of
a mile would meet the ruin of a build
ing in which a life was lost.
During the year 1907 the fire loss
of the United States was one half the
cost of all the new buildings erected.
Now YOU be careful.
BE CANNY
As no response came Miss Mary
Cronin, of Portland, a Red Cross
nurse, was sent out to Estacada by re
quest of County Manager T. W. Sulli
van, window cards were sent from
headquarters here, to Postmaster
Heylman, of your city, and Attorney
Devore on his visit here early in the
campaign week was handed dupli
cates of all campaign matter by Mr.
Sullivan, who was unable to make a
personal visit to Estacada, and Mr.
Devore was requested to give the
matter his every attention.
Information came back here
through a missionary sent out to
your city that Estacada would not
work with Oregon City and intended
to report to Portland. Mr. Sullivan
immediately wrote to Portland head
quarters reporting this and asked that
reports of returns be sent to the
county manager here.
Someone has evidently not report
ed facts to your club and wo wish you
would investigate, for we know you
do not wish any wrong impressions to
get out, even though we do not both
see matters from the same angle at
all times.
Yours very truly,

ESTACADA CLUB IN ERROR
At the meeting of the Live Wires
of Oregon City at Estacada Tuesday
evening, as guests of the Farmers,
and Merchants Club of that city, a
member of the Estacada club made
the assertion that the management of
the Red Cross Drive for Clackamas
county had neglected that part
of the county. A committee from the
, Live Wires was immediately appoint
ed to investigate this charge, and the
following letter, which has been sent
to Mr. Standish, editor of the Esta
cada paper explains itself:
