Died, on last Saturday, at the home

The Loans Good Start

The third Liberty Loan began with a rush. Ac- cording to the dispatches of last night it is over in some places; in others it was over before it was formally begun. The quotas had already been sub scrbed and oversubscribed. That is good sign but that these things have been accomplished promptly in the few places which have reported, does not mean that sSO00 100000 has been already subscribed There will be many tagging points where great deal of earnest work will have to be done before the sub scrption has been filled.
 It certain though that the loan will be taken much more quickly and enthusiastically than either Of it's predecessors. Within two weeks the people have been aroused before, to the fact that there is a and that are in the war. The daily news from the sector near Foul, and the announce ment that 100000 Americans going to oppose the German offensive far appealing to the purse strings of Americans than all the eloquence that had been brought to the support of the war loans
 There is now no need to urge cajole and threat en. The people know.

OUR WEALTHY PAUPERS

 Three-cent fare cities asking for four Seven- tickets for -a-q quarter companies demanding A. cent rate. In Columbus, o. city about the size of Portland, with eight tickets for quarter, the com- pany wants an increase Five-cent fare cities are asked for six.
 Everywhere the companies are before the public ened bankruptcy, inadequate returns the invest statistics and arthmetical showngs of all the com panes could be gathered together, perusal of them would make the credulous reader believe that the street systems all groveling in poverty and their the portals of the pauper asylums and almshouses you are if guible person. almost ready to believe that soup houses and the bread line the lot of the owly street magnate, plucked by the people and driven into narrowing penury by tyran- nical and heartless public.
 How absurd that huge necessary rapid transit industry, owned by men of wonderful financial fore sight, directed by the keenest and best paid brains with all systems banded together for protection and support of each other--how absurd that an industry entrenched and explained is in precarious fi- nancal condition the companies contend they are in every city in America?
 Who ever heard of saw a street car owner fall from his high estate to become shipyard worker or any other kind of oiler along the average level of life? Nobody. They not built that way.
 They are extremely practical gentlemen who know exactly what they want and how to get it. They know exactly how take care of themselves and always take measures to do it.-From the Oregon Journal.

cent of all the men in our armies are directly or indirectly connected with some church. Can the minister or the church press do less than back them up and stand by them? The most crit ical place in the thinking of a soldier is when he considers the attitude of the people back home. If he feels that they have failed him. he is lost. God pity the minister who for any reason fails to back up the men fighting for the church and for Christian civiliza- ton.
 Again. if we are fighting for democ- racy or to make the world safe for de-
 mocracy. or to make democracy safe
 for the world. then the church. shoulo
 be in the very forefront of the battle because the only sane and possible democracy is that which is Christian ized and because Christianity has al ways been a democracy. and because the German pulpit and the German re- 1 llgious press is doing all in its power, to destroy the Christian democracy. 1 No matter what we read or hear to the contrary there is no hope for democ- racy in Germany, until Germany as we | now see it, is destroyed. It is me
 diaeval autocracy and all Germany is submissive to it, as one magazine puts 1t. "The thing that is the matter with l socialism is at an end. If there is to l be any future Germany, it will be | forged out of different material than
 that which now exists in Germany.
 Again, the minister and the church
 press, must stand strong and true. Tor the prosecution of the war or else be 1 classed with Russelites, the contempt ible traitors now being found out an@
 arrested, and with the many other
 minor religious sects preaching and disseminating a poisonous propaganda of treason and -Germanism.
 Again, the minister must meet the hypocritical whine, When will it end.'
 "They are taking the best of our boys.
 "Whv did we go into it anyway" Tt is a rich mans war; "The administra
 tion officials are grAfting,' and similar
 expressions.
 Again, the minister must sympathet-
 ically help the father and the mother : who has a son "Over there, somewhere
 in France" to grit their teeth, steel their hearts and be brave. He must fire every boy and girl in his Sunday school with a contagious patriotism.
 He must Aenounce all attempts to com , mercialize this war, the rich who would make large profits, the laboring man who would go on strike in the ship : building plants for s10 a day. the farm CT who attempts to get s for his wheat.
 Finally he should keep the Home Fires Burning" read the names of the men who have gone from his church,
 once a month. Sing the fifth verse of America at all the services, urge the church in a systematic manner to , write letters to the men. pray for them
 and get the church ready to take up , the great task of Christianity whep f this fearful was shall end. We are going to win this war , England will not quit,
 , France will not quit,
 America will not quit
 But the task is a big one. Germany is still giant, ] It. will require all of ous to Win.

CHURCH'S CONCERN IN STRUGGLE

At d late meeting Of the Ministerial ssociation the subject of What shouk be the attitude of the ministry and the church press on the present war?" had been assigned by the program com- mittee to Rev. E. D. Raley. In his ad- dress MT. Raley said:
 l would not have selected this sub- ject because there is only one side to it in my estimation.
 We are in the world war. The big war. The War. We are in. This may be the last war or it may not It may be foolish war. All wars are stupid and illogical. The question of right and wrong war is not the question. We are not discussing the question as to whether we should have gone in at all or not. We are in.

Up to one year ago, every American had the right to exercise the great American privelege: free speech. Ii was our pastime to criticise the gov. ernment. the administration and oul | neiShbors.

overnan, Definer of sedition

made that they would suppress free speech and honest criticism
 It has been the contention of MT. overman in charge of the bill that it will not invade the consttu tonal rights of citizens the press that it will only enable the government to curb sedition.
 There appears the difficulty. Who is to define sedition? Senator Overman in his heat has declared effect that the Stars criticisms have come under that head. Senator Reed of Missouri whom the Star has frequently casgated though he himself has been severe critic of the government agrees with Senator Overman that the Star not just what it ought to be-
 We may easily believe that if the law should be passed in its present form and that if MT. Overman had the administration of it, he would penalize the Star.
 We think that the many thousands of readers of the Star scattered through much broader area than the constituency of any other newspaper in the United States do not regard it disoyal No fair men can so regard it. It is strongly American and it's Ameri- canism is by partisanship. It has always been friendly to MT. Wilson. It has generally sub scribed to his policies Though of republican ten dencies it has stood with the administration against those who would have obstructed it.
 But it has not hesitated to crtcise not it's war policies methods of executing them Its criti cism no doubt has been honest and that the methods of the administration have been changed from time time the defects of which the Star has complained proves that its criticism was constructive intended be helpful. It would be both disastrous and ridiculous if such man as George Creel should b3 put into position to model the po cies of such newspaper as the Kansas City Star.
 We would suggest to the bootleggers the wisdom of providing themselves with armored cars; better still war tanks such the British and Germans have found effective in offensive operations There are no operations more offensive those of the boot leggers and tanks would be sngulary appropriate for the bootleggers are catering to human tanks.

No Wheat Seizure Order Issued.

So far no general order requisi-
tioning wheat has been sent out by the
food administra ton. But food admin
istrators in the various wheat states
have been instructed-in order to en-
able the continuous shipment of wheat
to our allies-to urge farmers in the
southern and middle states to market
their residue Of wheat after seed re-
quirements by May 1 and in the ex-
IRENE northern states by May Is.
The attention of food administrators
has been called to the many reports
from loyal farmers of German farmers
refusing to market any of their wheat,
consequently these administrators
have been asked to investigate such
cases and to direct such persons to at
once market their wheat. No publici-
ty will be given to individual cases I'M
less this order is ignored and it should
become necessary to requisition such
wheat on behalf of the government.

Spoiled Children.

On a crowded interurban car the
day after Christmas there was a jost-
ling, pushing, complaining bunch in the
aisle. There was just one woman in
the bunch who was not complaining,
and she was good to look at, being
cheerful, pretty and perfectly clothed,
from her russell shoes to the brown hat
that topped her gold-brown hair. Her
lovely brown suit was coming in con-
tact with all sorts Of shabby clothing,
but she chuckled, and remarked to the
strange woman next. to her: "What
spoiled children we are! Here we are
in a warm, comfortable car, fairly fly
ing over the road, and grumbling all
the way. I can remember when a trip
to Indianapolis meant, for me, chair
in farm wagon, maybe way back over
the hind wheels, and vet, even in zero
weather, jolting and jouncing over if
teen miles Of frozen road. I never
whimpered. I was just glad all through
for the chance to take the wonderful
trip to the CITY,"

that others could dig up similar memo

Adjudication of Cider.

The United States commissioner of
internal revenue has given notice that
the practice resorted to by manufac-
turers and dealers to increase the al
coholic content of cider or apple Juice
by adding to it sugar and fermenting
the same is a violation of the law if
practiced by other than registered dis
tillers, and that if such product be
found in any place other than regis
tered distilleries it will be seized for
forfeiture. The order adds:
The manufacture and sale of pure
apple cider by any person in any place
is permissible, whether the same be
fermented or not, provided nothing is
or has been added to it to increase the
alcoholic content.
