THE NEW LIBERTY LOAN

Secretary McAdoo has definitely an
nounced that the Fourth liberty Loan
bonds will bear 4 Ia per cent interest,
rhe Secretary has been insistent
tina; the Government interest rate
should DO stabilized at IA per cent
He points out that raise in the rate
Of interest OF only one-fourth Of ]
PER cent on $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO Of Govern
ment bonds would mean an annual in
crease of $25,OOO,O00 in interest
charges, and that this money would
have to be raised by increased taxa
ton and paid by the people of the
country. It would not be paid by one
class only, because there are con-
sumption as well as other kinds of
taxes, and the consumption taxes
reach every class of people,
AS an intelligent people" said Sec
rotary McAdoo during the Third Lib
erty Loan campaign, I'VE should now
make a stand for the financing of our
Government during the period of this
war at a stabilized rate of interest, say
at 4 IA per cent per annum, so that
all business and all investments may
be adjusted to that basis, and SO that
we ourselves may protect ourselves
against successfully increased rates Of
interest on Government loans"
Neither our patriotism nor our sup
port of the Liberty Loans are meas
nred in fractions Of per cent.

V|NSON HAS BEGUN
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST 7. WATSON
CONGRESSMAN FROM TENTH
DISTRICT SAYS WATSON is
TRYN GTO SHAME STRING" AID.
MINISTRATION.

AUGUSTA, August 22.-Congress-
man Carl vinson, without questioning
the party law as set down by the state
committee. has entered vigorously
into the Congressional campaign
against Thomas E. Watson In a pub
lie statement to the democrats ofVthe
district tonight he, among other
things, declared that Watson is trying
to "hame-string' the administration
by going to Congress and that Wat
son has a grievance against President
Wilson, for silencing his "seditious"
publications and wants to wreck ven
geance.
Congress Vinson declares that the
loyalty issue is more SHARPLY drawn in
the Tenth District than in any other.
He charges that Watson has never
bought a Liberty Bond nor War
Savings Stamp and has never given
a dollar to the Red Cross or Y. M. c,
A. He alludes to the eleventh hour
entry" of the political trouble-mak-
er" of tn cold Tenth "in person and
not by proxy this time" and says that
as the state committee will admit the
entry and as Watson begins his cam
paign Friday at Crawfordville he
feels that he must announce his pro-
gram and outline what are and can
only be the issues, involved in this
contest.
loyalty issue is more sharply drawn
of all, a man whom this Government
of ours just entering upon war witt
brutal foreign foe found it expe-
dent and necessary to silence for his
well nigh seditiOus utterances and
un-American writings by excluding
his disloyal, incendiary publication
from the mails.
81 shall be able to show that nc
matter what his (Watsons) fair
words and spacious promises may be
he has no more intention of loyal
supporting the administration in the
prosecution of this war than l have
in supporting the Kaiser or the devil
himself. For if one man ever hated
another with a holy hatred Thomas
E Watson so hates woodrow Wilson
whom he today holds personally re-
SQOuSlUIo lOT TIC SlIC4ACIhS VI ulo oOuA-
tious publications.
''My every vote has been in COM
plete accord with President Wilson's
administration, and the truly Ameri
can idea of supporting our Govern
ment in war as directly opposed tt
Mr.. Watson's teachings and rawlings
in print and on the platform unit
such time of course as he was silenc-
ed by law.

HISTORY REPEATS.

EA1AANhh ANaNAM" -
tory repeating itself" but could there
be a more perfect repetition OF his
tory than is shown by the following
extracts concerning Caesar taken
from Phutach's Lives?
Ellis (Caesars) second war was in
defense Ct the Gauls against the Ger
mans .hough some time before he
rad made Al lovIs'us, their (the Ger
mans, Kine. recognized at Rome as
ar ally. But they (the Germans)
were very iupuiferable neighbors to
those under his government, and it
was probable when occasion offered
they would reroance the present ar
ranetments and march to occupy
auul
Did not the Germans in 1914 re-
nounce their present arrangements
(the neutrality Of Belgium, for in
stance) "and march on to occupy
Gaul"-namely Belgium and France?
"Ariovistus' courage to some extent
was cooled upon this very approach;
for never expecting the Romans would
attack the Germans, whom he had
thought It more likely they would
not venture to withstand even in de-
fense of their own subjects"
Nor did the Kaiser in 1914 expect
that the .Belgians would attack the
Germans whom he had thought it
more likely they would not venture
f.. Withstand even in defense of their
own subjects"
"They were still more discouraged
by the prophecies of their holy wo-
men, who foretell the future by OBJ
serving the eddies of rivers, and TAX
ing signs from the windness and noist
of streams, and who now warned then
not to engage before the next new
moon appeared"
Have not the Germans within the
last few weeks seen the hunger
stone" rearing its terrible pate from
beneath the waves, which, they say
is an whaling harbinger of hunger
and distress?
Caesar made his ap
proaches to the strongholds and hills
on which they lay encamped, and SO
CALLED and fretted them that at last
they came down with great fr~ to
engage"
Oh. you polip, Tommy Atkins, An
FAC and Yank, why didn't you read
your history to better advantage
Didn't you know that if you CALLED and
fretted them they would attack? Per-
haps you did, for listen:
but he (Caesar) gained a signal
victory and pursued them for 400 fur
longs, as far as the Rhine, all which
space was covered with spells ant
bodies of the slain, Ariovistus made
shift to pass the Rhine with the small
remains of an army, for it is sale
the number of the slain amounted t.
10000"
It will be observed that the Ger
rams attacked and that Caesar coun
ter attacked, and that the latter die
moi thereafter lose the initiative, Does
any one seriously doubt that yer!
soon there vii be helter-skelter re-
treat across the Rhine Not will |
ne necessary at that point for Fool
60 stop pursuit "in order to attend tt
affairs at Rome"

SALEM BOY IS
| SEVERELY WOUNDED
Earl Sumner ,cf Company N
In Hospital With Shat
tered Leg

Earl Sumner, relative of the ". C.
George family and a member of Com.
rany NJ, has been severely wounded in
The trenches in France. He had spent
two periods in the trenches and when
doing his third was struck, evidently
by piece of shell as the bones of one
leg are smashed from the hip to the
knee. He is in the hospital and the
surgeons are evidently making a strong
effort to save his leg for him. The
first intimation of his being wounded
came in letter from his nurse. Since
4htn another letter has been received
t. which Earl added line or two. As
Company NJ has so far as is known. not
been in the fighting, it is supposed that
Summer was not sent to his company,
as he did not cross with it. When Com.
rany M sailed he was in the hospital
and it was two or three weeks later
that he was sent across. Earl is a
bright young fellow and will be remem-
bered by many Salem folks, especially
those patronizing the White Houss
Restaurant, where he worked occasion
ally. While reports as to his condition
are meager, it is presumed he win pull
through, and come home all together,
as amputation has not been resorted to-.
The nature Of his wound however will
require a long eOnvalesceing period,
and he will no doubt be sent home as
soon as he is able to stand the trip.

First Methodist Church
Condemns Sunday Work

At the meeting of the Sunday school
board of the First Methodist church
held last evening, resolutions were
passed eondemning Sunday work, but
favoring cooperation in every way
with those willing to assist in saving
the berry crops working week days
The board composed of so teachers
and superintendents especially urged
its members and those in the Sunday
schools to help in saving the crops.
At the services next Sunday morn
ing DR.. r. N. Avison, pastor of the
First Methodist church will speak es-
pecially on this subject, urging cooper
alton, but taking the stand that it is
not necessary for people to go into the
fields on Sunday.
The resolutions adopted BY. the Sun
day school board last evening are as
follows.
"In view of the urgent necessity for
more workers to save the fruit and
berry crop of the Willamette valley,
we, the Sunday school board of the
First Methodist church urge as many
of our people as possible to give the
fullest cooperation in helping harvest
the crops.
"We do not believe, however, that
the time has come when it is necessary
to work on Sunday and wish to record
ourselves as opposed to making this
use of the Sabbath day.

willamette WOOlgrOwers
Receiving High Prices

Wool growers Of the Willamette val
ley are about the most fortunate men
in the United States in that line of bust
ness, according to Clifford Brown, who
keeps well posted on wool conditions
in the country. On account Of the com
petition between the mills in and ad-
jaeent to the Willamette valley there
has been considerable competition and
the prices paid have been ranging from
So to 65 cents pound according to
the government regulations.
The first ruling of the government
was that a mill could only buy within
a radius of so miles but now they are
permitted to buy anywhere in the val
ley. If the government buys the wool,
there is first the ~ cents profits to
the local dealer, then 4 per cent OF the
distributing center dealer and then the
governments charge of three per cent
covering expenses. When the mills buy
direct, they avoid this expense. The
nearest fleece market to this section is
Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota,
and Nebraska and as there are no mills
to any extent in those sections, all fleece
woods are shipped OF the government $
distributing eenters.
