KEEP HIM IN Friends of Eugene V. Debs are . busy. They are mailing millions of postcards to people in the United States asking their support in secur ing the freedom of Debs from prison for violation of the espionage act The card, In part, reads: "The most autocratic European nations have released their political prisoners. Only here in the United States does a 'democratic' adminis tration still throw men and women Into Jail for having spoken their hon est convictions." The cards further ask that those who receive them "demand .the im mediate release of Debs." The fact that the cards are signed (by 'C.C.C. and do not reveal the sender's real name is ample proof that he Is a coward is living In mortal fear of the law. And well he should live in (ear. The scheme is merely another process started by the red element to cause the United States more trouble. Debs has lived in the United States for many years, and . has always (fought the government. From his youth he has been a rank agitator, always to foe found with the dis gruntled faction and it might be said the lawless faction. If there had been enough men of Debs' call' tire in America our brave soldiers would have been crushed by the kaiser's haughty cracker-Jacks and America -would now be paying Indem nities to the red-handed Huns. It is Just such fellows as Debs that would tear the United States asunder.

Business, according to the usual view, has Ibeen bad for three or four months, and is still bad. There has been nothing approximating a panic, but there has been a general dulness or depression. Almost any business man win tell you that. Now, in the past one of the most accurate Indexes to the volume of current business has been the volume of bank clearings. The principle of the thing is simple enough the more business transacted, the more money is handled by the banks In the form of checks and drafts. 'Conver sely, the more paper handled by the banks, the more business is being done. Remembering, then, how very "good" business was in the early months of last year, most people will be surprised to learn that in the cor responding months of this year the bank clearances reported for the whole country are considerably high er. Thus, taking two typical date we find that the clearings reported on February 15, 1918, were $5,180, 000,000 and on the same date of 1919 they were $5,937,000,000; on March 1 of last year they were $6, 571,000,000 and on (March 1 of this year, 7,477,000,000. The gains for the four separate weeks ending March 1 range from 11 to 27 per cent. A comparison' of clearances from newspapers of recent date will mostly show the same situation. Financial experts mention certain facts as contributing, to the volume of bank clearances without actually serving as a record of Increased bus iness. There must be such factors, of course, because no well informed maij can believe that business Is I actually better now than it was s year ago. But these increased clear ings cannot be entirely explained away. There is an enormous and un precedented amount of money df we reckon checks and drafts as money circulating around the country In payment of old obligations and new bills, and it probably represents a larger amount of actual, current bus iness and "better times" than most persons have any idea of. EVERY-DAY PATRIOTISM Subscribing to the Victory loan will be the test of true patriotism. The former loans were subscribed under the impulse of enthusiasm, an outpouring of the human desire to lend a hand when catastrophe falls upon a neighbor, together with the righteous wratch which doubles the fist In self-defense at unprovoked as sault. This loan will offer no such Jncen live. It is true. Subscriptions to it will mean the same steady, faithful love of country which is (but an en largement of the faithful love of home the kind of love which sends a man to his business day after day, and keeps a woman steadfastly at her household tasks. If either falls to do his part the home disinte grates and is finally destroyed.' Just so with the nation. Its strength depends upon the faithful ness of the Individual citizens In the unexciting routine of dally life. The people who run In with well turned phrases of sympathy, with food and flowers in tlml of trouble are all very well; but the folks who make the world go round are the ones who perform tedious tasks of every day and pay the monthly bills without waiting for the stimulus of a thrilling crisis, but Just because It is the thing to do. ; A REAL I1KKO The following item recently ap peared In The Statesman, at Salem: "Sergeant Albert C. Presley, of this city, -who iron the distinguished service cross after ho had captured a machine gune and SO tierman pris oners single handed, arrived In Tv'ow York today aboard the transport Kentuckian, according to press dis patches (his afternoon." The Salem CapItaKlournal, in commenting editorially on the brav ery of Presley, remarks:' "The Grants Pass boy who cap tured single-handed a machine gun and 20 Germans bos reached Now Tork on. his -way to Oregon. Seems like there should be a reception com ing to a fellow like that, when he gets off the train at his old borne town. Since this hero's father Is a resident of Salem now, the Capital City ought to watch for his coming also, and make a day so big they will print It in red letters on the calan dars hereafter."
