PRESIDENT WOULD
NOT STOP CRITICISM
Says Espionage Bill Should
Not Prevent Criticism of
Any Official

Washington, April 26.- President
Wilson, speaking of the so-called
espionage bill now pending in congress
today, declared that while he approved
the legislation he was utterly opposed
to any censorship which would deny
the people "their indisputable rights to
eriticise their own public officials" "
The president Is comment was con-
tained in letter to Arthur Brisbane,
New York editor. The presidents let
ter follows:
81 sincerely appreciate the frank
ness of your interesting letter of April
20, with reference to the so-called
espionage bill now awaiting action of
the congress.
al approve of this legislation, but /
need not assure You and those inter-
ested in it that whatever action the
congress may decide upon, as far as l
/ am personally concerned, / shall not
expect or permit any part of this law
to apply to me or any of my official
acts, or in any way to be used as a
shield against criticism.
81 can imagine no greater disservice
to the country than to establish sys-
tenn of censorship that would deny to
the people of free republic like our
own, their indisputable right to crit.
else their own public officials. While
exercising the great powers of the of
flee 7 hold, I would regret in a crisis
like the one through which we are
now passing to lose the benefits OF
patriotic and intelligent criticism.
"In these trying times one can fee
certain only of his motives which he
can strive to purge of selfishness Of
every kind and await with patience fol
the Judgment of calmer day to vim
dicate the wisdom of the course he ha'
tried conscientiously to follow"

MONEY ASSURED TO
PAY FOR FLAX CROP
Commercial Club Will Con-
tract for 600 Acres with
Local Farmers

For the past 20 years there has been
more or less talk about raising flax in
the Willamette valley, but this year a
thorough test will be made as it is pret-
ty well assured that about 1900 acres
will be planted in the vicinity of
Salem.
To assure the farmers of a cash
market, the Commercial club will con-
tract with growers at price of from
SIG to $lS ton. 1t will not only con-
tract at this price, but will pay the
| farmer in cash for his flax.
| To assure the amount of money
necessary to handle the proposition
twenty-five of the prominent business
men have guaranteed the funds neces.
sary. The Commercial club has beer
negotiating with three flax mills, but
in order to have the assurance of al
least one mill, there must also be the
assurance that at least 600 acres will
be planted in flax, to be delivered tc
the Commercial club. And to assure
the farmers of cash, the twenty five
business men have jointly agreed to
raise the amount of money necessary
Farmers are requested to call at the
Commercial club and make their con
tracts for acreage. Seed will be fur
nished, to be paid for when the flax is
delivered.
With the Commercial club working
for 900 acres, the state putting in 500
and the Roth plant at Turner assured
of 200 acres, the question of whether
flax is a profitable crop will be de
termined to a great extent this year.
A market is assured as no flax from
across the ocean will be shipped tC
this country next summer.
These Back to Promise.
Those who have mutually agreed Il
guarantee the amount necessary to pay
the farmers cash for the product are

MANY OFFER BLOOD TO
MADAME BERNHARDT
Room Where She Fights For
Life Is Banked With
Flowers

New York, April 26.-'I love Amer
lea, but not enough to die here. I must
live to see France victorious and once
more visit my beloved Paris when the
war cloud has disappeared -
Sarah Bernhardt, in substance, spoke
these words to her physicians when
they had almost despaired of her life
at Mt. Sinai hospital. The Official
bulletin today reported her condition
favorable. She has been making
steady progress. The indomitable will
i of the Divine Sarah, expressed in her
| determination to return to a victorious
France, sustained her and was RESPONSE
BILE for her astounding display Of re-
| sistance.
In a flower-banked room at the hos
pital, where Nine. Bernhardt lies, the
distant roar of battle in Europe is
heard in spirit, for Mime. Bernhardt IS
thoughts are marching on with the
armies of the tri-color, driving the
| Prussians from her beloved France.
Her mental condition has not been
affected in the least, according to her
attendants, but she is being given only
the barest news of the war. A few
words a day suffice-iust enough to let
her know her c6untrymen are still adj
vancing against the enemy.
Nine. Bernhardt Graves stories of
her home land-French novels-so her
secretary reads aloud and she lives
again in the atmosphere of her war
wracked home.
The room where the famous actress
lies is banked in flowers. If all letters
and kilograms received were taken to
her she would be overwhelmed They
arrive by the mailsack full.
( 1t was learned today that more than
forty persons--most of them New
/ Yorkcrs-haye offered their blood if
necessary, for TRANSMISSION operation.
/ They are not publicity seekers and all
! ask that their names be withheld They
telephone, write and telegraph and
/ others call, every one claiming the
privilege of being the sirst to send
blood into the actress veins if she
needs the sacrifice.
Nine. Bernhardt sees no visitors, but
the sentiments of her closest friends
are conveyed to her by her secretary.
She talks only to her secretary and her
doctors.
The happiest moment of her day is
when she hears the few words that
bring to her the distant shout of VIC
tory from the western front.

ENGLAND WTHDRAWS
BLACKLIST ORDER
All American Firms On List
Now Free to Trade In
England

London, April 26.-The foreign of
flee announced this afternoon that the
blacklist" against American firms
had been withdrawn.
Raising of the blacklist will remove
the only real issue that ever threaten
ed i'll feeling between England and the
United States. The original blacklist
covered S5 business firms. Several have
since been added.
Great Britain announced her black
list in July 1916. 1t was a formal list
ing of certain firms all over the world
with whom British citizens were fo,-
hidden to trade Nearly hundred Am
erican firms were included in this pre-
| scribed catalogue.
On July 90, Acting Secretary OF
State Polk registered America s EN-
phatic protest at this discrimination in
note addressed to Sir Edward Grey
The blacklist, this note said, had
been received with most painful sur
I lprise'' by the United States and the
government was constrained to. re
| gard 4 it as inconsistent
with true justice and sincere amity and
impartial fairness which should char
acterize the dealings of friendly govern
ments with one another"
In the diplomatic interchange which
| followed England refused to relax the
blacklist on the American firms men
toned and the matter remained still
an issue.
| In raising the embargo today, Eng
land thus gives fresh proof OF complete
unity with her new ally, leaving il
completely to the United States gov
ernment F'to make certain enemy firms
| do not trade.''
