The spirit of optimism that has swept
away the last cloud of doubt, and that
finds Its source In the attitude of busi
ness men and citizens generally, as
well as In magnificent reports from
outer-state counties, is reflected in the
following llth-hour expressions of
opinion by victory loan leaders:
AU Orrgsa la Organised.
Edward Cookmgham. stale chairman
In no other campaign has such
splendid spirit been manifested by
cither the people or the workers. 1
am confident Oregon will again lead
tho nati-Mi over the top. and well In ad
vance of any other state.

the greatest of all our Oregon vic
tories. Emery Olmstead, city chairman
niir workers are splendidly organized.
There is no pre-campalgn fag. We are

J L. Etherldge. state director This
will be the swiftest campaign ever held
n Oregon. I predict a heavy oversub
scription In victory bonds. So far as
outer-state counties are concerned, it
will be almost over this morning.

retary At victory htariqiiarters our
"-.raff is completley organized the most
fflclent unit we have ever had, rcady
to give prompt service. Thu trend
toward cheerful faith In success Is
is marked.
Continued optimism prevails through
out the state over the prospects of an
early finish for the victory loan. Not a
single note of gloom Is sounded In the
telegraphic symphony that reaches state
fccariiuarters from outer-state points.
Baaka Subscribe Liberally.
"Call off your rounds." Implored the
message from K. C. Kirkpairick. chair
man for Polk county, addressed to State
Director Etherhlge. "Every bank in
Polk county has underwritten Its
Quota."
Another message from the State Bank
of Drain advises that Drain already has
fully subscribed its quota of 112.150.
The Canby banking district, through
W. 11. Hair, chairman, files Its report
that the territory of Canby was through
with Its quota early Saturday night.
"We had a rousing meeting last
night." asserted a ir.. ssage from Tilla
mook, filed by T. D. Henderson, assist
ant state director. "The organization
here Is one of the most complete any.
where In the state. Every one of 17
cheese factories in this county has

commendable spirit of Individual pa
triotism makes it unnecessary for the

are no slackers not even a piker."

North Bend has also reported the
voluntary subscription of Its full quota.
Not oulj u yesterday celebrated
as Easter throughout the churches of
the city, but It was additionally ob
served as Victory Sunday. Scores of
pulpit appeals were launched for the
loan, brilliant with true patriotic fervor
unanswerable arguments for the
prompt and unswerving support of
every citizen who rates his patriotism
as acid test.
But Portland knew that the loan was
nigh some hours before It reached the
churches for Easter morning services.
From every window down the lanes of
streets, in the business districts on
either side of the river, two vivid pos-
ters shouted at the pedestrians. They
were repeated on street cars and era
phastzed In foot-high letters on sand
wich boards that claimed each street
corner. One was the question direct.
The other was Its only answer.
City Billed Overnight.
"Are you a real American?"
"Real Americans will buy bonds.
The titanic work of billing the city
overnight, of trudging many, many
miles with pastepot and posters, long
after the most confirmed prowlers had
retired, was delegated to the Oregon
national guard, whose members as
sembled In the armory at midnight,
received their Instructions and set
forth upon a genuine whale of a task.
It a a good Job. one of the best
we've ever had," was the concert of
opinion among liberty loan officials
when they summed up the volunteer I
publicity work of the guardsmen.
Eight hundred national guardsmen.
under the direction of Colonel North
snd Major J. Francis Drake, turned
the trick. They posted 20,000 of th
smaller appeals, 6000 of the large Vic
tory "V" posters, and stationed 100
the street stands. The stands were
made voluntarily and without cost by
the students of the Benson Polytechnic
school.
States Strive for Honors.
Above the approaches to each bridge
are huge electric "v s," installed by th
electrical workers' union. The street
cars have been thoroughly placarded
by the employes of the company. Many
business firms contributed material
for the various street publicity adver
tising, and the general job was directed
by Larl Wellington of the special fea
tures bureau.
Traffic semaphores will also carry
the liberty loan query and answer, with
Installations being made by the mem
bers of the police traffic squad.
Between Iowa and Oregon the race
for another liberty loan record is on.
The west coast state has challenged
and refuted Iowa's claim to having the
first county with a full quota, and has
received In reply a taunt to the effect
that Iowa has 99 counties to Oregon s
36. and that if conditions In this re
spect were equal the pride of the corn
belt would flash past the winning post
in four minutes flat.
I'P-Mtate rouarles Active.
Kobert K. Smith, state campaign
manager for Oregon, In response to
this, mailed Iowa headquarters a map
of Oregon. Inviting attention to the
fact that the entire state of Iowa could
be picked up and dropped down Inside
of half a dozen local counties. But the
messages of both state managers are
genial, and the sharpened jests are al
ways accompanied by expressions of
good will and best wishes.
Still another contest is to the fore.
It Is the customary strife between
Portland and the outer-state districts
to first attain success. Chairman Olm-
sfesd, of the city forces, has received
a direct challenge from J. L. Etheridge,
state director of organization. Each
has sarcastically promised to aid the
other when the task is completed.
This morning, with the will to carry
it through, and with the public senti
ment fa'oring them, Oregon's volun
teer victory loan paladins take the
field to finish the last financial cru
sade of the great war.
Here's a victory loan thought:
"Our dead gave all forever we are
asked to work and lend for a while."

Support of organized labor of Portland
for the victory loan Is to be extended
without qualification as the result of
action taken by the loan committee on
industrial plants, demanding an ac
counting from all concerns which han
dled bonds not fully paid for and on
which equities have not been claimed
by the employe who subscribed. Action

sponse to a resolution presented to and

In Bubstar.ce It was the allegation of
the labor committee which took up the
matter that certain industrial plants,
embracing a number of shipyards,
seemed to have profited througn for-j
fcltures of employes who undertook 'to
pay for bonds. Just after the fourth
loan drive was completed large num
bers of shipyard workers were thrown
out of employment and were unable to
complete payments on their subscrip
tion contracts.

It was alleged that some of the em

settlement on their equities and that
others were unable to obtain a settle

stipulated that after March 31, 1919,
the subscriber who had failed to com
plete his payments or clean up the
matter lost all right 'to any equity.
This injected another complicating
feature.

The day in the Bible always began at

the last book in the Bible was finished.
This was conclusive evidence to me
that Sunday was not instituted as the
Christian Sabbath by Christ or the
