BILLY SUNDAY TALKS
AS HE RESTS IN BED
General "Ma" Orders Quie
Before Evening's Work.
"Billy" but ah looked at the news
paperman, "you must rest."
And cha said It with the sort of an
air: "Here's your hat. bat don't harry."
And when "Ma" Sunday acts like
that It ia time to so.

But that's only four loans you say

Thai's exactly the question pro

aHcnson hotel. v-a
And the answer? '

So. under direct orders from hi com

Just as hard as he haa Indulged In di

roll majesties, the kaiser and the devil.
William-A. Sunday has been campaign
lti-f for the victory loan. lie has
dashed throuah the south and across
the east. Everywhere he went he left
a trail of enthusiasm and optimism
and encouraged bond salesmen. When
"Billy" gets Into action, even a cigar
tore dummy blinks and geta inter
ested.
It s no snap to interview him. There
tie Ilea in bed. trying ta rest. lie Is
(.rfectly conscious of the fact that the
reporter, with on eye on "Ma" knit
ting and rocking, to sea how far he
will dare go. Is baiting him and trying
to rouse his Ire.

And of courts "Pa pa'' Sunday be
rnm4 very, very conscious of his flsn-
nel "nichtle." and the interview has to
n.l temporarily.
Mr. Sunday is tired. He was husky
alth cold. T.in down- None knew that
better than "ma." and there Is only one
pcrxin in the world that could have
liragi-ed "Billy" away from the sun and
rent of Hood I'.iver.
You've guessed it of course. Uncle
e-am.
"The man that won't buy bonds If he
res the money Is Just ye. he is a
)elUw cur." quoth Mr. Sunday.
".o" that's doing an Injustice to the
cur. He's far worse than the cur.
"The man who has money and won't
tiuy bonds Is the same feller as the
man who was willtn' for his father to
sive him everything he had. so that
when the father had given his all. he
could kick him out of the house.
"The man ho won't buy bonds will
uncover when the flag goes by. Sure,
he will. He is afraid someone will kick
him If he doesn't. And he thinks no
one will kick him If he doesn't buy
bonds.
"Surh a man has no personal respect
He will allow his selfish interests to be
paramount to the needs of the govern
ment." A Few Wards an Sersrlty.
"What reason can a man have for
not buying bonds?" was the question
that was In common fairness asked.
"Billy" held his Bible in mid air.
"I can't figure what In the name of
heaven It can be. when he knows the
government is secure."
"But Is the government secure?" the
Impertinent Interviewer persisted, de
termined to rouse "Hilly."
There was no question of success
Mr. Sunday gave the reckless reporter
a look that should have blistered him.
The air Just sisxled.
"If a victory bond Is not secure, what
In the name of everything is? The
I'nited States Is the bakeshop of the
entire world and will be feeding the
entire world for the next five years
-why: t ! :! ?-:
No. not expletives, but simply -"Billy"
expressing his opinion of the newspaper
man who would dare venture such a
query.
"If a victory bond Is not safe, your
torn, is not safe, the shoes on your
fet are not safe. Everything will fall,
become chaotic, topple everything."
C'aaarteattawa Oajecf.r Scred.
'Mabe there are conscientious ob
jectors about buying bonds?"
tf course, it was cruel, but
"Conscientious objectors slackers
lot i.f hot air no sympathy with 'em.
No sympathy with a conscientious ob
jector either about buyina bonds or
fighting. Conscientious objector'"
Here please register a loud and em
phatically voiced sneer.
"Wonderful how religious some of
these fellows become when their skins
ur their pockclbooks are in danger.
I'm I for vthe sake of my life dig
around in tiny mind and find where
business or property would be if It
were not for the government.
"And look here" explosively "If the
banks have to take these bonds, money
will be ttchi and business and employ
ment will suiter. Uel that. The banks
will take them If others won't. Then

"We incurred honest debts, didn't w-e?
We could not hate won the war with

RECOXSTRCCTIOX PROGRAMME
OF CITV TO BE CUT.
Measures Most Likely fo Win Will
Bo Retained Others Will
Be Lopped Off.
The reconstruction programme to be
presented to the voters by the city of
Portland will probably amount to ap
proximately 11.000.000 instead of
13.000.000. as had been contemplated.
At a meeting of the city council yes
terday the special election waa au
thorixed for June t and :;n sppropri
atlon of 113.000 was parsed to bear
the expenses of the voting.
The cut which Is expected in tne
programme comes through the deter
mination of the members of the coun
cil to present a programme of im
provements which are necessities and
not crowd projects upon the ballot
which are not essential, when it is
probable that these measures will not
only meet with defeat, but will also
carry the necessary measures to oe
feat aa well.
City Commissioner Barbur is seri
ously considering delaying the preacn-
atlon of a charter amendment author-
sing the Issuance of bonds to the ex
tent of t2.000.000 for the purpose of
paying for the construction of main
runk sewers and main highways from
the general fund of the city.
City Commissioner Mann will not
present any items In the proposed pro
gramme, as there is sufficient money
available In the water department to
handle the improvements which he
plans without the necessity of asking
or authority to Issue bonds. The
withdrawal of these items prunes an
other liOu.000 from the list.
Mayor Baker also Joined the hands of
he "pruners" in virtually deciding to
rop the proposed sub-police station on
the east side from his list. Several
members of the council stated that
they did not believe such a station
necessary and Mayor Baker intimated
that he would leave the station off the
ballot In the Interest of the measures
which do go on, although his final de
sion In this connection, as well as
Commissioner Barbur's. will be made
nown tomorrow.
As the matter now atands approxi-
malely 1850.000 Is sure to find its way
on the city reconstruction programme.
This Includes JiOO.000 which Mayor
Baker will seek in bonds to finance the
uildlng of comfort stations, community
houses in various psrts of the city, and
other needed improvements in some of
the city parks.
The voters will also be asked to au
thorise a bond Issue for approximately
W0. 000 to be used In remodeling the
tty hall and JiOO.OOO to be used in the
construction of eight new firehouses.
wo new docks for the fireboats and
ew houses for the members of the fire-

Wednesday has I -en set as the final
day for the submission of measures by
the commissioners and a complete pro
gramme will be decided upon at that
time.
