A There la no general criticism of the
t government's present policy, but there
is a great deslr for information. Cwti-
gross would be satlafled to get thla in
X formation privately, if publicity at thla
time would bo Inadvisable. Hearty ip-
pYoval probably will bo given to the
Httchoock amendment to the army bill
removing tho alien enemy taint from
Jugo-Slav subjects of Austria In thia
county by allowing thora to enlist In th
Z American army. This amendment, added
y with President Wilson's approval. Is held
a strong offensive move against A us

f Coagreia Beady for War
Tho Russian, Jugo-Slav and Turkish
Bulgarian questions are all engrossing
to congress. A careful canvass of both
houses today disclosed that If congress
ware acting right now on lta own Infor
mation and according to its own inclina
tion It would at once
Declare war on Turkey and Bulgaria.
Declare for giving Japan a free hand
tn Siberia for purposes of an offensive
against Germany.
Put all Jugo-Slavs. Csecho-SIovaks
and Poles In this country In tho friendly
alien class, to make them available aa
American soldiers and Increase Austria's
troubles.

"The purchase ef War Savings Stamps
is hot only an act of patriotism, but aa
excellent investment," said Mr. Benson,
"The purchase of War Savings Stamps is
a splendid way for young people to start
saving, and since the habit ef saving la
the f oundation of all success. It is seme-
thing that every 'child should be taught
early in life. Every person Bhould save
something from his Income, for success
never will attend the person who squan
ders his substance.
'Courage and faith In onesself are es
sentials for success. If one fails the
first time, he should not lose heart, but
should gather his forces together and
start again and even a .third or fourth
time, or as many tunes as. are neces
sary, for If he tries hard enough suc
cess ultimately will be his." .
A Striking Example
Mr. Benson's own career Is a strik
ing: example of thrift and industry. He
came to Oregon in 1878 at the age of 26
and began working in the lumber camps
ef Columbia county. Later he entered
the leering business on his own account
and the early reverses he met trained
him for the success that followed.
During the 10 years which have inter
vened since he disposed of his lumber
holdings, Mr. Benson "ha given freely
of his time and money for tho common
good. He has been a leader of the good
roads movement in Oregon; his Inter
est in his fellow citizens Induced him to
purchase and dedicate to the public sev
oral tracts of land adjoining the Colum
bta river highway and Included In what
is now known as Benson park ; this same
public spirit was manifested in the erec
tion of the 20 bronze drinking fountains
in the business district.
The same genuine support has been
accorded various wartime demands for
financial subscription by Mr. Benson,
and with National War Savings Pledge
day a week away, Mr. Benson's ex
ample of providing himself and the
members of his family with the limit
of these securities is worthy of emula
tion by all in proportion to their in
comes.
