HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.
Next to tho Imperative duty ot
American, clll tens to support the Lib
erty loan Is their duty to hold their
Liberty bonds. It Is not full service
to tho country to purchaso Liberty
bonds and then throw them upon tho
market, thus putting upon others tho
real burden ot financing the war.
Unless tho necessity for disposing ot
them is very great, every owner of a
Liberty bond should hold fast to it.
Holding onto ono's bonds means
that one has not only lent so much
money to his government but also
that ho Is not spending that money
for goods, labor and transportation
needed by tho nation in the prosecu
tion ot tho war, and Is thus leaving
the resources ot tho country more
freely nt the disposal of the govern
ment na well as giving it financial
backing. This Is a double service.
Secretnry Baker says that tho wide
distribution ot the Liberty bonds
nmong tho mnss ot tho American
people makes our Liberty loans the
soundest national financing In his
tory. It la a good thing thing for
over Liberty bond holder to be a
creditor of his or her government,
and it Is a good thing for tho nation
for Its obligations to 'bo widely scat
tered among Its citizens and not con
gested Into tho hands of the rich. It
is a most hopeful thing for the
United States that tho best invest
ment in tho world, the Liberty
bonds, are very widely distributed
among millions of its citizens.
Judging the future by tho past,
our (government bonds issued dur
ing this war are going to riso greatly
in faluo With peace. In 1SS8, 4 per
cent. United States bonds sold in tho
open market as high as $130, and
In 1901 brought over $139 that id,
$139 and somo cents for a $100
bond. That the Liberty bonds are
going to rlso well above par in value
Is something that the most conserva
tive will admit Is 'well within tho
bounds of possibility.
The shrewd and unscrupulous, the
birds of prey In finance, realize tho
worth ot Liberty 'bonds, and are go
ing to use every effort to securo them
from tho hands ot those owners of
them who are uninformed or who
aro -Ignorant ot stock and Invest
ment values. The favorite method
'will probably be offering stock of
wildcat companies or other specu
lative ventures. Speculative is really
too conservative a word to apply to
somo ot these Blocks, since to say
that they have a speculative value is
flattering In tho extreme; they have
so value at all, except In the bands
of unscrupulous people, who trade
them for money or Liberty bonds to
Ignorant investors.
Somo of the get-rlch-qulck schem
ers propose not to trade their gold
brick stock for Liberty bonds but to
lend their clients money to buy their
stock, taking Liberty bonds as secur
ity This Is camouflage only a
thinly disguised method of securing
Liberty bonds for worthless or near
worthless stock.
Every holder of a Liberty bond
before he disposes of it, and especi
ally beforo ho trades it for stocks or
other bonds, should consult a bank.
Much money will bo thereby saved
to tho owners ot Liberty bonds and
tho finances of the American people
bo hotter conserved.
cotvo compensation as If in service
and his family or dependents will
receive their allotment.
A wounded soldier or sailor, al
though his disability docs not pre
vent him from returning to employ
ment without training, can tako a
course of vocational training treo ot
cost nnd tho compensation provided
by tho war risk Insurance act will
bo paid to him and tho training will
bo treo, but no allotment will b'o paid
to his family.
Every Liberty bond holder who
holds his bond Is keeping up n part
of this great work ot restoring to
health, strength and usefulness tho
men who have suffered for their
country.

THANKSGIVING.
"It has long been our custom to

God for his many blessings nnd
mercies to us as a nation. This year
we have special and moving causes
to be grateful and to rejoice. God

cessation ot arms, a mero relief from
tho strain and tragedy of war. It
has come as a great triumph of right.
"Complcto victory has brought us,
not peace alone, but tho confident
promise of a new day as well, In
which Justico shall replace forco and
Jealous Intrigue among the nations.
Our gallant armies have partici
pated In a triumph which is not
marred or stained by any purpose ot
selfish aggression. In righteous
causo they havo won Immortal glory,
and havo nobly served their nation
in serving mankind.
"God has indeed been gracious.
Wo have cause for such rejoicing as
revives and strengthens In us all tho
best traditions of our national his

In which our hearts tako new cour

"While we render thanks for theso

we shall strengthen the tics ot friend

nnd tho buck wns passed on to thu
coming session through thu commit
ton which has sizzled ami fizzled
through two stern years and will
probnbly reap Its reward In January
by nu early demise of tn put child.
One or two in em hers of the commis
sion claim that their recommenda
tions will go through and bo adopted.
Perhaps they will. But we shall see
what we shall see.
Tho committee on law reform, also
named by tho last session, will rec
ommend that tho chief Justice of tho
supremo court be given authority to
place three circuit Judges on the
supremo bench temporarily at any
time he sees fit to relievo the con
gestion there. This might he film
If It woro not used occasionally ns
a political expedient lo boost thu
fortunes and thu publicity of some
aspiring candidate tor tho high
bench. This Is not very likely with
the present chief Justice, or with any
of the other Justices who are sitting
there by virtue of the will of thu
people. But developments of tho
past year Indicate that thu bench Is
not altogether treo from tho tnlul ot
politics, especially when It comes to
tho question ot making appoint
ments, Another power that the committee
on law reform will ask for the chief
Justlcu Is thu power to send circuit
Judges from onu county lo another
when conditions warrant It. Thu
object of this will bo to relievo con
gestion In Multnomah county when
ever It Is deemed necessary and as
Judges frequently go theru on re
quest now for that very purpose, It
Is likely tho legislature will look
kindly upon such n law. In fact,
probably both of theso recommenda
tions of thu committee will be grant
ed. It they are not It will probably
mean u request for more Justices on
thu bench, ns the dockot Is full to
oversowing.
Possibilities nro developing that
there may be a change or two at (he
stato penitentiary before the first of
the year. Whethor It will hit as high
up as tho warden Is not known, hut
this Is considered a likely possibil
ity. It Is known that tho governor
for some time has been under the
Impression that tho general cost of
conducting tho state penitentiary has
been too high. Considering tho fact
that thoro has been an enormous In
crease In current expense costs, the
exocutlvo has been rather loathe to
condemn tho mounting costs 'thorn
until a complete and thorough but
quiet Investigation could bu mudu to
determine whethor thu administra
tion of affairs has been to blame for
this increase. While ho has mndn
no deflnlto stntemout, It is pretty
closely understood Hint the (governor
considers now that costs havo boun
moro than warranted and that tho
overhond could bu cut down mater
ially under a different sort of man-
ugement.
This lining tho case, It Is not
known whether thu govornor will
make a complete change In tho ad
mlnlstrntlvo head, or whether ho will
glvo Warden .Murphy a strong talk
ing to nnd another chance ut operat
ing tho business end of nfTalrs out ut

Ono thing In reasonably curtain,
If a change Is to bo made It will not
develop until after the prison probe

Lis not going to flru the warden whou
tho prison Is under flro Itself. Ho
doesn't do business Hint way. If ho
