GOV. RICE HAS Been MISQuoTED
Denies EmphaticaIIy That He Has
Attacked the Work Of Red Cross,

Gov. A. E. Rice authorizes the Will
mar Tribune to say that he does not
wish to be understood as discouraging
the work of the Red Cross in q talk
he made at the Baptist church recent
ly. The Red Cross is doing and will
do great and noble work for the
boys in the trenches which should re-
ceive the cordial support and assist
ance of ALL The remarks that have
been misconstrued was his advice 10
relatives to send supplies of knit goods
to their boys direct at the training
camps in this country where they are
needed and will be much appreciated.
He takes the ground that mothers and
sisters of the recruits should see to it
that their own boys are supplied with
warm wOolens, in the first instance,
and then, do what they can for other
boys who have no folks to supply
them. Gov. Rice very emphatically
denied that he had attacked the work
of the Red Cross. and regrets that
such construction should be placed
upon his words. Gov. Rice is a we'll
known Civil war veteran and a liberal
contributor to the Red Cross War
Fund.

An organization Of the Fourth Dis

and pledge made by representatives
present to raise the quota assigned

twelve counties in the district, the
amount being about $4,000. Mr.. Rus
sell Spicer was made chairman of the
organization and was empowered 10
appoint all necessary committees. Mr..

meeting. The other speakers were
Sergeant H. B. Yewdal of Winnipeg,
who has seen thirteen months service
in the trenches in France; DR.. T w.
Graham Of Minneapolis, army chap
lain and Chas. T. Winton, the lumber
man Of Minneapolis. The great need
for the service that the Y. NJ. G. A.

forth most eloquently and with an en-
phasis that was compelling. The meet
ing was preceded by banquet to
about fifty guests. Many representa-
tives from other counties were pre-
vented from coming by reason of bad
auto roads.
The drive to raise war funds for the
Y. M. c. A., will begin shortly.

KERR'S CAMOUFLAGE

$140O a year-and the city newspapers
with paens of praise, announced that
Oregon was saved-that DR.. Kerr, out
of the goodness Of his heart, from pure
patriotism, had agreed to stay in Ore
gon at a personal sacrifice, instead of
migrating to the Sunflower state, for
the infintismal remuneration of 500 a
month and the handling Of just how
much federal and state coin no one
knows-the legislature has never been
able to find out.
The day following the publication of
the Kansas offer the story was of
ficially denied at Topeka and branded
as hoax by Former Governor Hoeh
and other members of the Kansas
board of control-but neither the
Oregonian nor the Journal printed the
denial-though they must have received
it through their news service. Instead,
they continually repeated the hoax,

1t is not the size Of the salary nor
the increase that is Objectionable. 1t

if the board of regents honestly be-

should be above suspicion.
