(J., there remained no doubt of the manner la which the slate had won the day and the first flag. For there Is no place among us for lackers." be exclaimed. "There is no olace for pacifists or conscientious ob jectors. No cltlsen of the United States has any right to set his conscience against the conscience of the Nation." As Robert E. Smith, state campaign manager, raised the state's honor flag, the cheering was1 tremendous, and as it floated free the band struck up the National anthem, with Professor Boyer directing the congregational alnging of the chorus.

Labor Leader Speaks. In his Introduction of Thomas Bar ker, speaker of the day. Mr. Cooking ham said that It was particularly fit ting that a representative of labor should speak from the balcony ef the Liberty Temple, that "stood as testi mony to the unselfish loyalty of the workmen of Portland, who built it as an offering to the third liberty loan." As special representative or the de partment of Labor, commissioned to speak before the shlpworkers of the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Barker has been holding a series of meetings In Port land and Seattle. Be is an official of the carpenters' union of Los Angeles. Is English by birth. American to the core, and has been Identified with labor organisations ever since bis ar rival In this country- A pacifist be was. ha told the gath ering before the temple, and when the war began be was still a pacifist. War waa abhorrent to him and ha looked with eagerness toward a day when it should cease for all time. Be saw from the distance of America the tur moil that claimed Europe, saw bis Eng lish brothers and kin Join the colors, some of them to fall In Prance. And there came to him a new conception of the larger duty that must be achieved before pacifism of the sterling brand comes Into Its own. "The only difference between me. I suppose, and those our chairman re ferred to. la that I have my fighting spirit up:" he exclaimed. Fa rare Depeada aa V. 9. A trust la laid upon America and the allies, one of sock significance that, aa he said, "future generations will either rise up and call us blessed, or they will heap upon us curses and only speak our names in whispers!

In the United States of America the system of gov ernment provides that I can do my own thinking; that I can order my life to suit myself, the law acting- as an umpire. And- under that system the Nstlon has grown great." With this he contrasted the blight of German autocracy, the pernicious "kultur" that It seeks to force upon the world, depriving those in Its power of Independent thought or action, and fastening upon them the shackles of shameful servitude. It is for the es tablishment of this false doctrine thst Germany fights, ho reminded his bear ers. Liberty or Death Demanded. "And I say to you." cried Thomas Barker, "that If I am to bo denied the right of thinking for myself, if I am to be denied the right of organizing for my own welfare. If I am to be denied my liberty.
