CoNsCRIPTING THE NEWSPAPERS

The newspapers of the country have been conscrlpted.
The government is selling liberty bonds--for what
purpose?. Presumably to pay the expenses OF carrying on
the war, because everybody who works for the govern
ment or sells the government anything is paid well for 1t
Except the newspaper publisher.
The government pays literally for feeding and clothing
the soldiers and for their transportation from place to
place. But it asks the newspapers to advertise free the
bonds, from which the war expense money is to be secured
depends on the publisher to raise the money to pay
everybody but himself. And the newspaper publisher has
hut two legitimate sources of income, his subscription re-
ceipts and the revenue that comes from the sale OF adver-
Using, the latter being taken by the government without
the slightest recompense.
The government knows that its liberty bond and Red
Cross campaigns, and it's food conservation movement
would be miserable failures without the power of the
newspapers back of them. Still a bill in congress provid-
ING money to pay the newspapers for their space is scarce
Iy considered at all, probably because the loyalty OF the
newspaper publishers is so unquestloned that they are
depended upon to give whatsoever they are asked for
without financial consideration---and they are doing 1t.
It seems unfair, however, to ask one industry to work
for nothing and pay all others war prices for what they
furnish the government. 1t is costing more to print news
papers than ever before; everything that enters into their
production is hitting the high record, and their incomes
is more uncertain than at any other time because of the
war conditions which have unsettled business and cur
tailed advertising.
to say that many newspapers will quit business because
they will have to. None will make money but many Will
be strong enough financially to weather the storm. The
government needs the newspapers and their influence as
1t never did before, and it would seem good business
poncy, as well as justice, to pay them for the service they
render.
If everybody else was put on the same basis as the
newspaper publisher there would be no use to sell liberty
bonds. The government would simply take what 1t
wanted without paying for 1t.

"Lieutenant links, you are CONVEX

"Oui, oui-er-yes, sir" replied the
dashing young American officer.
"Well, lead this French squad for

"Marchel" ordered Lieutenant
Jinks, complacently. II wonder what's
French for column right Oh, well,
maybe I'll just keep 'em walking

At that moment, fifty yards ahead,
he saw a ~yawning abyss, far below
which he could hear the rushing of the

men are so well trained they'll walk

dom get the order to halt, and III be
court martialed for murder aggravated
by ignorance" And he cried out sharp
ly, "Mouchoirl"
Without a culver the squad stepped
briskly on.
''Demi tasse!''\ roared Lieutenant
Jinks, but his only answer was the
steady tread of the French soldiers
marching on to certain destruction.
"Menu! A la carte! vdmouflage!'
shrieked Lieutenant Jinks.
Tramp! tramp! tramp! Jinks felt
something hissing-was his hair turn

The White Sox have two of the four games necessary
to carry off the pennant. What the fans are watching for
today is to see if it is to be three straight or if the Giants
are going to win enough games to make the series a con-
test instead of a walkover. Apparently the Giants are
outclassed, but you never can tell about a ball game until
after the first half of the ninth at the best. Enthusiasm
had about died out as to baseball but the worlds series
has stirred the oldtime fans to something like real base
ball fervor. Last year the finish was an exciting one In
which everybody took a keen interest, yet it drew no larg-
err crowds than the games at Chicago have assembled.

BUY AL BOND AND JAR THE KAISER

Oregons quota of the second liberty loan is $16,500,-
600, and of this Portland is expected to put up $10,O00,000
This leaves the balance of the state to subscribe $500, 000
Here is a direct call on the citizens to show their patriot
ism, and furnish the means for carrying on the war. There
must be no Sinking, no tempOrizing; but every citizen
should subscribe all he can spare from his business. The
promptness with which the money is subscribed, and the
fact that it is subscribed as fast as asked for by the gov
eminent is a feature OF such vast Importance that the
failure of the liberty loan would be worse than the loss of
a great battle, since it would give encouragement to the
enemy and lead to the belief that Americas great war
preparation was simply a great bluff. Subscribing the.
full amount of the loan, and more, is the hardest blow we
can hit Prussianism. 1t will do more to dishearten the.
enemy than any one thing we can do. 1t must be borne
in mind too that this is the peoples war, the war of every
man, woman and child in America, and it is up to each to
do his or her part. The bonds are in amounts of from $50
up, arranged so they are within the reach of all. Do not
think your $50, is too small to be considered The total
three billion is after all but so many cents, and every dol
lar counts as much as any other dollar, whether it is put in
with 40 others or along with millions. 1t is an aggrega-
ton of dollars, and it will require that every citizen who
can, contributes to make the success of the issue certain.
Of the SIG, 100000 to be raised in Oregon about 81, 100000
is subscribed leaving SIS, {, 900 yet to be raised. One
man in Albany showed the proper spirit. He wanted toll
subscribe S., 200 and not having the ready money he Dor
rowed it at the bank paying six per cent for it while the
bonds draw only four per cent. In this connection it
should be added that after the war it is likely these bonds
will be above par, and far enough most likely, to make the
interest above six per cent which makes them a splendid
