STIMULATE BUSINESS

PORTLAND. May 6.-Substantial
over-subscription OF the Victory Lib
erty Loan is very desirable. In the
sale OF bonds offered by bond houses
1t is customary to "over allot" or
confirm the sale OF more bonds than
there are In existence. This surprls-
ing procedure has been found neces-
sary in any large distribution of Sc
curities for the reason that there are
always certain number of cancel
lations. People ask for more bonds
than they really expect to get, or
they change their minds. BY the
method Of over-subscription cancel
lations are taken care of in advance
and the after effect is beneficial in
causing the bonds to sell above par
in the market.
There are two very strong reasons
why the people of the United States
should over-subscribe the Victory
Liberty Loan issue: First, the peace
treaty has not yet been signed and
there is indisputable evidence that
German statesmen believe their op-
ponents are war-weary and that
show OF defiance may result in their
avoiding proper reparation for their
aggression. A large over-subscrlp-
tion will have an immense moral in
fluence in the capitals OF Europe.
Second The effect on business of
over-subscription will be to stimulate
business and strengthen the markets
for all American securities. Conf
dence is the foundation stone OF
prosperity and the beneficial effect
Of over-subscription on business is
bound to be very great

SOCIETY PRODUCES BoLsHEvIsM

Pages and pages and whole sec
tions with illustrations in the oiG
metropolitan papers produce some
of the tendency toward bolshevism in
our country.
In a Democratic country It is in,
jecting subtle poison Of discomfort
to parade too much the doings of the
so-called society set before the work
ing masses.
A San Francisco daily shows a So
ciety woman going for week end at
beaches in seven thousand dol
lar limousine holding a three thou
sand dollar dog on her lap
Then there is long euloglstic &C
count Of her appearance and her dia-
monds and even descriptions Of her
laces and lingerie, and there are
pages Of such stuff.
In the days before the French Rev.
olution the kings paraded their
wealth and dazzling social functions
while the multitudes toiled to earn
the royal revenues.
Is the effect on the human mind
any different today, and is humanity
any less prone to exaggerate the
evils of wasteful social aristocracy
in our own day?
Industrial peace and contented
millions of working people in our
large cities would be ensured with
greater certainty IL the society
pages were eliminated.

poorly blanched so far this season,
and just now there is a very small
amount of good celery for sale.
Onions are apparently on the verge

Wayne B. Wheeler Not Afraid of
'sWet" Challenge.

THE opponents of prohibition have
chosen the referendum as their last
stand. We accept the challenge" said
Wayne B. Wheeler. general counselor of
the Anti-Saloon League of America, to-
day.
Before the opponents Of prohibition
can secure q referendum on the pro-
hibition amendment. the Federal Con-
stitution must be abandoned in legal

only way the opponents of prohibition
can secure such an amendment is to
cooperate in the enforcement of the
anne ndment, and after a fair trial
prove that it is failure

ANARCHIST BILLS
Miss Bryant Defends BoIshe-
vism in Russia, But Says
Not Fit Here.

Without awaiting the outcome OF
the inquiry into radical propaganda
now under way. the Senate judiciary
committee has unanimously recon-
mended legislation to punish anarchis-
tic activities or propaganda and the
display of flags or other emblems of
violence. Efforts will be made to have
Congress enact this legislation without
delay.
The bill drawn by the committee
combines the red flag" measure in
troduced by Senator New of Indiana
and other bills designed to check un-
lawful agitation against the govern
ment. and is expected to meet the de-
mands Of authors Of these other meas
ures, which were aimed principally at
the activities of the l. w. w. Persons
convicted of violations of the new law
would be subject to fine of not more
than $4,000 or imprisoned for not more
than five years, or both.
Quizzes Miss Bryant
After the committee had approved
this legislation, the subcommittee un-
der Senator Overman, continued it's in
vestigation of lawless agitation. with
the examination OF Louise Bryant a
writer and one of the speakers at a re-
cent meeting in Polls Theater. which
brought about the Senate inquiry.
Soon after Miss Bryant began testi-
lying the spectators who crowded the
committee room showed their ap-
proval or disapproval of her remarks
by applause and Kisses. and Senator
OverTnan ordered the room cleared
Many OF those elected remained in the
corridor and later they were admitted
to the hearing after being warned by
Senator Overman not to make any
demonstra ton.
Not Fit for America.
Miss Bryant, wife of John Reed, also
writer, defended the bolsheyist re-
gime in Russia, but admitted that
bolshevism would mot At America"
She declared she was opposed to the
overthrow of any government by
violence and asserted that primarily
the meeting at Polls at which she
spoke was held to protest against
American intervention in Russia
Denying the truth of stories of
atrocities in Russia, told by previous
witnesses before the committee, Miss
Bryant said she did not have a mis-
sion to spread bolsheyist propaganda,
but was engaged simply in trying to
get bolshevism understood.
The witness told the committee that
S. Nuorteva of the Finnish informa-
tion bureau in New York was the only
person she knew in this country who
actually was in touch with the boil
shevisfs, and she said that Acting Sec
retary of State Polk recently had per-
mitted Mr.. Nuorteva to cable to Petro-
grad In regard to a conference with
the Russian soviet.

largely due to his indefatigability that
the lodge rose from some fifty men,

seventy five. The local lodge is now

him out of the city, and retired for

Fort Worth, Texas, July 2, 1919.
DIR. George Fox, Editor Jewish Moni-
tor, Fort Worth, Texas.
My Dear DR.. Fox:
May | ask you politely to state the
reason why your Monitor did not or
has not published the very important
report of the meeting which took place
Sunday, June 22nd at the Synagogue
to protest against the massacres and
pogroms in general in Poland and Tx
rainia? From the report which is we'll
known to you, nearly eighty-four
thousand Jewish people persisted in
the last four months directly and in
directly in these pogroms. The pro-
test meeting in our Jewish community
was one of the hundreds of such pro-
test meetings which have taken place
in the United States in the last few
weeks in every Jewish community. It
is also a well known fact that all of
these demonstrations and mass meet
ings had some weight in impressing
the Polish government, at least to try
to stop those massacres against mil
lions of our brethren. am, therefore,
very much surprised that such an i'm
portant item of our local news which
every one should be interested in, was
omitted. AS the Jewish Monitor is al
ways for democracy, l hope that you
will give space for these few lines.
Sincerely yours,
ISRAEL N. MEHL.
(Note-We did not publish the ac-
count of the meeting because neither
Mr.. Mehl nor any one else brought in
the report we were waiting for. We
haven't it yet. The newspaper account
was very inadequate, and we expect
ed report worthy of the occasion.-
Editor.)
