REGARDS REGISTRATION DAY
OF TREMENDOUS IMPORT
Governor Of Oregon Gives Expression
to Serious Thoughts on This
Occasion

SALEM, Ore.-Oregon will have
three legal holidays in a row. June {
is Sunday; June 4, election day, is a
holiday, and June 5, registration day
is also a legal holiday. Of the three,
the governor believes the registration
Gay the most important.
Il have given this matter consider
able thought, realizing that if June 5
is declared a legal holiday, it will
mean three such holidays in success
sion," said the executive in discussing
the proposal that he issue a proclama-
ton designating June 5 as a holiday.
But June 5 is to be one of the most
momentous-if not the most moment
in the history of the ma
ton. While, in a way, it might be con-
sidered the occasion for a celebration.
it will be the occasion of a great and
solemn event as we'll, and will be
treated as such"

ALL LOAFERS LOOK ALIKE
DOWN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
SO Hours a Week or Pay Penalty
as a Vag.

CHARLESTON, w. Va.-All loafers
look alike to the la win West Vir-
ginia. A statute just passed by the
legislature provides that every able
male between the ages of 16 and so
must work at least SO hours weekly
at some lawful and recognized bust
ness, profession or employment" This
hits 'em all, both great and small.
The law is effective, no matter how
big an income any individual may en-
Joy. Students are exempt during the
school sessions: Violators may be
fined $500 or put to work by the state,
in which cast their dependents get
the small wage allowed. The pur-
pose of this law is to make every able
bodied male do something useful dur
ing the war.

UNDERTAKING.

SPOKANE-In an effort to co-ordi
nate all possible forces behind the
liberty loan bond issue, Spokane bank
ers, business men and city officials
are issuing a special appeal to the In
land Empire. Wherever possible,
cities and towns are requested to com
bine registration day features with
the securing. of subscriptions to the
Liberty Loan.
On June 8, Spokane ministers are to
preach sermons on the need of sub
scribing as a patriotic duty and on
registration day 300 business men
hope to finish a house to house and
office to office canvass as the final
drive of the soliciting campaign to be
begun two days previously.
There will be nothing in the nature
of a celebration in Spokane but an
earnest forceful vigorous movement
to awaken every possible interest in
the loan. Letters explanatory of the
proposed bond issue Inc speakers who
are able to give details concisely are
being arranged for. All of eastern
Washington, northern Idaho and west
ern Montana will be as thoroughly COW
cred as possible.
Bankers, merchants, professional
men and the general public are taking
hold of the liberty loan subscription
campaign with vigor," said Herbert
Witherspoon, who has been made the
chairman of the work in the Inland
Empire. ut is not merely banks
that are boosting this, but insurance
corporations, the Western Union Tele-
graph company, lawyers, doctors
preachers, laboring men, merchants.
women and the Boy Scouts. 1t looks
as though it will be carried along to
a fine finish, but we want e~verybody's
help and the bonds as widely distrib-
uted as possible"

Wounded nine times during his mill

come a human Verdun. He is pretty
badly Clipped but the citadel still
holds.
The generals latest wound was {
shrapnel blow which took a chunk out
of one ear. Medical treatment in the
field staunched the flow of blood, his

a He was hit twice during that
campaign.
1t was in Samoliland that he receiv-
ed his next wound. This time he lost
an eye, but continued to serve as cap
tain in the army.
Commanding a force in Flanders in
the early days of the Great War, the
general had his left arm shot off.
That laid him up for a while but he
came back and was wounded next as
commander of a Worcestershire corps
at La Boiselle.
Then there followed three mort

on the western front.
General de Wharf is a Belgian, and
a brother of the Belgian foreign min
lister. But he was educated at an
English college and has been in the
British army for many years. His
friends say he is a calm, quiet man,
of cheerful disposition but not apt to
laugh over a n~ear-joke. For his con-

was made a member of the distinguish

Here is what the official account
said when he was awarded the V. c.:
ut was owing in a great measure
to his dauntless courage and inspiring
example that a serious reverse was
averted. After three other battalion
commanders had become casualties,
he controlled their commands and en-
sured that the ground won was main

GOV. VETOES FREE PASS BILL

MadisOn-Gov. Philip has vetoed

unconstitutional and against good

transportation over it's lines between

not more than $500 miles annually,
to any daily or weekly newspaper
published in the state in exchange for
advertising, providing the editor did
not hold public office of trust or
profit.
The transportation was for the edi-

the long contest waged in Wisconsin
over railroad freight and passenger
rates, and for the passage of a law
prohibiting railroads from giving
away passes or discriminating in
freight rates. The governor said that
the enactment of the Burnett bill
would permit railroads to discriminate
in their passenger rates, which would
be intolerable to the general public,
which would have to pay for its trans
portation in cash, while the editor of
a weekly or daily newspaper, and the
members of his family dependent on
him, could ride on transportation Sc

PLAN BUYING FIRST CAPITOL
Legislative Finance Committee in
Favor of Restoring Old Build
ings Located at Leslie.

Madison-The Wisconsin legislature
favors the preservation of the first
territorial capitol of Wisconsin, loca
ted at Belmont (now Leslie). The
joint finance committee of the legisla-
ture has recommended an apprOpria
ton of $4,000 for the purchase of the
buildings, their removal to the site on
which they were located in 1886, and
the rebuilding of them as nearly as
possible into the form in which they
existed when the first territorial leg
islature met there in the fall of 1886.
For years past the old capitol has
been used as a barn for cows and
horses and hay. According to Jona
than Henry Evans, Platteville bank
er, in his "reminiscences filed with the
Wisconsin Historical society, the low
er floor was used as a senate cham
Der, and the second story was used as
the assembly chamber. Recently up
wards of thirty members of the pres
ent legislature visited the scene, and
the opinion seems to be nearly unani-
nous in favor of the preservation.
