The boys who have enlisted to do the fiehtiner are still further showing their patriotism by subscribing liberally to the liberty loan. They not only offer their lives to their country but on top of it go down into their pockets to dig up the money to help carry on the war. This example should make all of us who remain at home go just that mucn deeper into our pockets and do our bit still more cheerfully. It should also be an example to bring the blush 'of shame to the cheek of every man whose acts are holding up the construction of ships and thus hampering the progress of the war. Commenting on the result in Iowa a gentleman who keeps in close touch with matters political remarked the result was due to the prohibitionists not being satisfied with their repeated victories over the wets, and their at tack begun on cigarettes and tobacco. He claimed that thousands of voters who would have voted dry under usual conditions voted wet as a rebuke' to the attack on tobacco. Whether this is correct or not, it is quite certain that it all the users 01 the weed voted wet that most of the f-r-.- to Si bin St t -T77T Since the war started Oregon has made an enviable I drv voters were not users of tobacco. reputation being in the lead in most things of importance. She was first in mobilization of her national guard, first in furnishing volunteers almost avoiding the first call by her excess in this line, and she exceeded her quota in sub-" scribing to the first liberty loan. It is a record to be proud of, and although but about one-third of her quota for the second loan has been subscribed, she can be de pended on to come through with the entire amount and most likely with her full share of the five billion max-j imum. one cannot, aiiora to uo any less man uu.

The city council has appropriated $200 to start a fund to cover the cost of this entertainment and also provide a nucleus for a mess fund to be presented the company. This is a worthy object and Salem a rich, prosperous capital cityought to raise at least $1000 in twenty-four hours for such a purpose. as was expected, only about one-third of the three billion minimum being suDscnoea. uowever, n is me race uuwn the homestretch that will count and that the full amount There are abundant grounds for drill, the water supply is of the best, and a day's march will put the boys on a government torest resprve where all kinds of target iisnea it should Joe Lane." be named "(Jamp Baker," or "Camp The French people have loaned their government about one-third of the value of all their property.

The money is in the country and if it is loaned the govern ment, will still be here, for here it will be spent. As a matter of business the expenditure of this money will make business so lively that it will find its way back to those who subscribed it, and its lending will not be felt, in the meanwhile a profitable investment will be made, one that will return a good income and at the same time be in such shape, that should the ready money be needed it can be used as security for a loan, at any bank. For ti is reason it is an ideal investment for those who might be forced to use the money, for it is a security that will be good anywhere, any time. It draws better intercut than the savings banks pay, for it is exempt from taxa tion, and money can be drawn on it without .losing the accrued interest should necessity compel its use tempor arily. So much for business, but as a patriotic duty it should apueal most strongly. It is said the most power ful sermon preached in the interest of charity was one by Deart Swift. He made the quotation: -tie tnat givetn unto the poor lendeth unto the Lord." He repeated this and then casting his eyes over the congregation quietly remarked: "If you are satisfied with the security, come down with the dust." The sentiment applies as to liberty bonds. U. S.

Chapman now admits that the success of the bond issue depends on the news papers and begs them to be patriotic enough to work for nothing to sell bonds in order that the government may pay everybody else. Newspapers have nothing'to sell but their advertising space and the government should no more take it without paying for it than it should take food, clothing and munitions without paying for them Great Britain and other warring countries pay the news papers just as they pay everybody else. The hardest blow prohibition has received recently was given it by Iowa Monday. According to the returns from eu of the u9 counties in the state announced late yester day the wets have carried the state by a majority of 2,288. Iowa has been dry for two years, and the return to the wet column is an unexpected jolt to prohibition advocates. It is also a bad omen for national prohibition should that amendment to the constitution be submitted. The federal inspectors have found that in Seattle and Portland moral conditions are very bad a condition that is probably not causing either Mayor Hiram C. Gill or Mayor George L. Baker any great loss of sleep. t BEGGARS ON WHEELS I see a million autos scoot before my dwel ling daily; the engines hum, the honk-horns toot, the wheels are spinning gayly.
