BREAKING ALL RECORDS
When the second liberty loan was completed there were
4Wa wV.n aaifl. "the third loan will have hard sledding
because people are getting tired lending and their money
is giving cut." How badly they sued up the American
people and the situation is shown by the first returns
coming in from the third loan that started at midnight,
April 5, or with the coming of the anniversary of Amer
ica's entrance into the war. At ore minute after mid
night at least two Oregon towns, Hosier and Forest
Grove wired headquarters that their quotas had been
subscribed. From that moment on until Saturday night
the wonderful story kept growing more and more won
derful. At half past five o'clock compilations showed that
at least seven counties had subscribed their full quotas
and most of them had far exceeded this. In this, generous
rivalry it is noted that the counties at opposite sides of
the state made the largest over-subscriptions for the day.
These were Tillamook with a quota of $105,000 and sub
ccriptions of $225,000 and Lake with a quota of $95,000
and subscriptions of $207,500. Tillamook subscribed two
and one-seventh times the amount asked of her and Lake
about two and a half times. So far as heard from every
section of the state is stirred to its depths and will over
subscribe its quota. At Portland ;&t-8:30 a checking
"Sowed a total for the day of $3,054,000. With Sunday
cutting into the work reports from many districts are
not in in full, but from all comes the same wonderful
story that Oregon has gone over the top m a way to
astonish the Huns and to set the pace for all the other
states. At the same time meager reports received up to
Saturday night from other states show that Oregon is
not alone but that all sections have dug deep and un
hesitatingly after the big dollars that will take care of
our boys "over there."
The Morning Statesman, in common with all the g. o. p.
papers of the state, claims the right to yillify and abuse
the national administration at any and all times. This, ot
course, is legitimate "criticism" and a patriotic duty to
the country; but when the Capital Journal exposes an
occasional political play of the governor, who injects
politics into his every official act, the Statesman at once
becomes righteously indignant over the publication of
"seditious" reports. The antics of the governor and his
personal newspaper organ would be very amusing if any
one else but the governor of the state was doing the
comedy stunt.
Attorney General Brown, Saturday, officially an
nounce himself as a candidate for re-election. Among
other things he says: "I am a republican and believe in
clean-cut, straight out 100 per cent Americanism, now,
henceforth and forever." That is a big enough and good
enough platform for anyone to stand on, though we might
eersonally prefer the substitution of the word "demo
crat " but just now there is little politics in any office and
should be none in those of the state. The attorney gen
eral also says: "I will during my term of office, pursue
my past policy by giving to the state the best service of
which I am capable." The fulfillment of that promise is a
guarantee that the office will be conducted on a basis of
300 per cent efficiency.
The indications are that all records will be broken in
the line of money raising achievements in the subscribing
of the third liberty loan. It will be something to make
Kaiser Bill realize that Americans are not mashed on
their dollars as he has so often intimated, but that when
it comes to defending the liberty of the world, and of sup
pressing the most dangerous demagogue that ever threat
ened it its dollars are not placed in the balance hoardingly
but are given with a will. There are seme things that
cannot be measured by money values and the things the
American people are pouring out their money for are
of these.

French fronts gives cause for let us sayuneasiness.
A great battle is now being fought and its outcome will

there was cause for it. Leaders of all the allies are

realize the tremendous price she has paid for practically
nothing, certainly nothing more than she voluntarily
abandoned a year ago, as of little or no value. If the Ger
man people are forced to realize that that is all they are
to get for their sacrifice of half a nr'llion of the flower of
her youth, it will be more than a victory for the allies. If
however it can be pointed out that they .have made sub
stantial and important gains by the sacrifice it will go far
to lighten the effects of the losses. Apparently that is
what Hindenburg is trying for now, for if he fails to ac
complish his aims in this drive ha will be greatly dis
credited, and his reputation as the super-man will vanish.
THE PRESIDENT'S SPLENDID DEFI
President Wilson in his address before a great liberty
loan gathering at Baltimore yesterday placed the Hun in
his true light before the world. Discussing the offers of
peace made by Germany and Austria he called attention
to the fact that while the civil representatives of these
countries plausibly talked peace that America's statement
of the terms on which she was willing to discuss peace
were answered not by these same civil leaders and repre
sentatives of their governments but by the military lead
ers of the German armies in Russia, Ukraine, Rumania
and Finland. These had said that force alone should
decide. Answering this the president said: "I accept the
challenge. I know that you accept it. All the world shall
know that you accept it. It shall appear in the utter
sacrifice and self-forgetfulness with which we shall give
all that we love and all that we have to redeem the world
and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in. This
now is the meaning of all that we do." The president has
stated in unmistakable language the position taken by
this country and that held by the junkers of Prussia. It
is an unanswerable statement and backed as it will be by
the whirlwind rush of Americans to put their money be
hind the government in its battle for world freedom, it
will not fail to impress even the most radical of the
militarists and convince them that the new world is put
ting its youth and strength into the battle for the rights
of man as against those of autocrats, for the rights of
the masses as against militarism, for right itself against
might.

CHAPTER XLVI. .
I was in bed when George came home.
It was the day before my dinner party,
and Mrs. Sexton had suggested that I
retire early so that I might look fresh
the next night. I had not expected my
husband until morning, so hud agreed
to do as she suggested.

for long ,and, while lie was unuressing,
I asked
"Fairly."
"I was so afraid you wouldn't get
back in time for my dinner."
"I never break an engagement, un
less it is unavoidable. I told you I should
remain with you the night ot your din

Another Rebuff.
I felt as if a second bucket of cold
water had been thrown over me. And the
ever ready tears rushed to my eyes. ur
teptitiously, I wiped them away with a
eornor of the sheet. I dared not get up
to get a handkerchief for tear ueorge

I'm tired. It was an uncomfortable
trip. There was a slight acciucut tnai

before ho scarcely had finished speak
ing, he was gone and the door between
closed tightly.
For some time 1 lay trying, once more
to adjust myself. I seemed to be making
no slightest progress in winning his af
fection. It was terribly discouraging.
Ho might have cared enough to want to
kiss me a second time when he had
been away so long.
Then came the thought: ne saiu
there had ben au accident. How light
ly he had spoken of it. Perhaps he had
been in danger. I turned first hot, then
cold, at the awful thought. But, after
awhile, my mind reverted to my dinner
party. I was wido awake, and I remem
bered every word that George had said.
He was so "particular about breaking an
engagement, that it had seemed as if it
were that which made him stay home
to my dinner, more than because he
wanted to please me. "But lie's goin
to be there," was my last thought as.
once more, I foil asleep.
In the mornine he slept late, ana
grumbled audibly when I at last awak
ened him.
Tf I had cared to be awakenea, l
should have said so," was his reply,
when I timidly reminded him of the
time.

DISSTON SHOOK'S SYSTEM.
Diston Snook was a methodical young
man. He had a system for everything.
So, when he made up his mind to woo
the fair Sasphia Blunt, he reasoned
thuswise:
"I must be absolutely sure of suc
cess before I propose. The girls nowa
days are so independent that they won t
take a man unless he is iudispensiblo

indispensible." .

asking him to attend to broken window
cords, spiggot washers, etc.
"I'm becoming indispensable," Diss
to Snook thought to himself, after
three months had gone by. Thea one
evening whe he called, Sasphia's moth
er hung up his hat fT him and said
confidently, "Mr. Snook, you're a real
treasure around a house, so handy and
all. and as I so often say to Sasphia.
I don 't knew what we 'd ever do without

why we should. Mr. Snook Disston,

It is often difficult to draw an ac
