ALL AMERICA RESPONDS " The indications last night were that Oregon would oversubscribe -her apportionment to the liberty bonds. Portland had passed the amount expected of her at 3 o'clock with $57,000 to spare. The state's apportionment is $8,500,000 and at 3 o'clock yesterday the total sub scribed in the state was $8,071,200. This leaves but $429, 000 to be raised between last night and Friday noon. As a vigorous campaign is in progress all over the state it J looks as thougn uregon woum again oe wen up 10 tne front if not in the lead in her response. New York how ever has oversubscribed her apportionment of $600,000, 000 by $62,000,000, and the indications are she will make the amount well up toward a billion by the time the day for closine arrives. The amount she has already sub scribed euqals about 1,100 tons of gold. How the kaiser's - - it i 1 . 1 . ..I "L eyes would snap at tne cnance oi levying triDuie on sucn p, city. The statement is made that he had the idea in his mind all the time that when he had conquored Europe, he would make the United States pay the entire ex penses of the war, and with Europe conquored it would make us fight for years to prevent him carrying out his benevolent intentions. A few billions loaned to Uncle Sam which will be paid back with interest is far prefer able to ten times as much turned over at the point of a bayonet, and which would be gone forever, and our liber ties with it. Every purchaser of a liberty bond drives a nail in the coffin of the kaiser's hopes and neips awaKen him from a, to him, pleasing dream. If you have not al ready invested, buy a bond and stick a pin in the kaiser. It is possible for the Columbia to break the record for high water this year if conditions are rieht..

C, dispatch of Saturday, said: "Nearly complete returns from all railroads for the four months ending with April made public today by the in terstate commerce commission show continuing improve ment in net earnings in every section, notwithstanding greatly increased operating expenses. Western roads showed increased receipts of $56,000,000 and increased expense $6,000,000 during the period. For April the in crease in revenues was $18,000,000; in expenses $14,500, 000." And still the railroads have the nerve to ask foi higher freight rates! . Are not Mutes. Salem, Ore., June 8, 1917. Dear journal Readers: J notice i some of the items rf the country print cd in the Capital Journal, that some people think of the deaf people us mini's. jM.w that is not as they snouli class jheui, for the deaf peujle iiri fur ironi unite, if any one earos to in quire they will find that to )o mu:e is a condition when they make no sound ana tneis are very, very icir- ot the deaf but what can laugh as natural us any one- (So hereafter it would s'no.v more respect to the deaf to speak of them as ueal, rot mute. Even the Electric Railway official's have rceogmzed that and changed the namo jf the station from Mute to Deaf school. A Reader. SLANDER AND GOSSIP The move started by a young German in this country to make Germany a republic is all right. The only trouoie witn it is to get the movement working in Ger many. We fancy the kaiser might do something' to dis courage those undertaking it. Once Germany is made a government ot, lor, and by its people there would be no difficulty about arranging terms of peace. It is not the German people the world is fighting, but Prussian militarism. That menace to the world removed, the other differences between the warring nations would soon be settled. . - :s - ' - r " Operating officials of the three roads running trains between Portland and Seattle met yesterday to arrange for discontinuing six of the eighteen trains now running between those cities. The business never justified the number of trains, and only keen opposition was responsi ble for their operation. This will release some cars and time reduce ooeratiner expenses. Instead of asking higher rates, it is probable all the roads could add materially to their net income by reducing the number of trains to the actual needs of the territory served. A great saving could be made in this direction in cutting the number of transcontinental trains, especially passenger. With another year of war it is estimated the interest on England's war debt will be about one billion dollars a year.. However this is not a time to ngure costs euner for England or any other nation, but the way England has poured out her money not only on her own account but to aid her allies is an example that should stir the balance of the world, and make it all the more determined to win the war and put an end forever to the danger from Prussian militarism. We have put our hand to the plow nnd there must be no turnine back until we reach the end of the furrow. Another evidence of German kutur is shown in the case of the liner Prinz Waldemar. Her crew lined her water tanks with poison when she was confiscated by the "United States at Honolulu, and only a timely discovery prevented the poisoning of her new crew. Trial by court martial and speedy execution of those guilty should fol low, as the guilty ones are still in the charge of the military. Anvwav New York's millionaires are coming through loyally to boost the sale of liberty bonds. Yesterday the a 1 i 1 t , 1 1 1 1 city boosted its subscriptions cy lorty-six minion uoiiars, bringing the total to $662,000,000, or $62,000,000 above its fluota, Ifi is aiming at a billion which is one half the Vnoie sum required. The adoption of the measure requiring all elections to be held on the same day is going to cause considerable annoyance, to put it mildly. For instance, when the pres idential election comes and everybody is anxious to get the returns, there will be a blanket sheet in the cities that will require twice as long as usual to count. Besides it has already mixed things up as to official terms. School directors and city officials are affected by it and some of them apparently will have their terms extended a year or more.
