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

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.. The snow
is still in the mountains, and this at the head waters of,
both the Snake and the Columbia. A sudden warm spell
of a couple of weeks would do it. This however from
present indications will not happen. With a few davs cool
weather occasionally, the flood will pass out of the Snake ! 8

will be no unusual flood such as occurred in 1892. The
Willamette has been coming up steadily for the last few
days, but the cool wave will check it and so the floods will
run off without damage.
OPEN FORUM
A Washington, D. 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! .

Dear journal Readers: J notice i

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.
