"pe cli Every seat In the Hoqulam The atre m occupied tonight by those rko destred to hear the debate be ten Fred Holmes, an officer of the Industrial Workers of the World, and Albert Johnson, editor of the Dally Washington lan. Holmes undertook to prerve that the I. W. W. ts the only or Itaaisatlon to represent labor in the Industrial Held, and that the L W. W. Is not an anarchistic organisation. Mr. Johnson denied these statements, and launched at once Into an effort to prove that socialism, anarchy, the 1. W. end atheism were one and the same. He read the Socialist marriage re men y. the Socialist Sunday School srlmer. and quoted Socialist hymns. '"Inasmuch." said Mr. Johnson. " in of our Hoqulam Socialist cltlsens. C.

In other words, no place for triarchy, free love, organised atheism it the I. W. TV. materialism. fteeialuna Fill Libraries. "I find that eur public libraries are full of Socialistic dream books, start nf nowhere and ending nowhere. I raa't find in a library In the Northwest ' ny anti-Socialist books, such as tjues '.lofie on Socialism and Their Answers,' y Kress: The Hoperstttlon Called Bo--iallsm," by C W. de Tunxelman. and -Fundamental Fallacies of Hoclallam. by Skelton. I call upon rood dtlaene lo set these books Into the public li braries at once to offset the' perfumed literature of Sparge and Hlllquit. and the Socialist Bible. Their writings are saturated with the spirit of the rharxian philosophy, m'blch Is a menace to reliKion and or tanised government everywhere. When Berger was elected to Congress t. like thousands of other ritlsens. thought that his election would be a good thing for the Government; that we would have a good look at a Socialist In one of the high places In the gift of the American people. But little did 1 know that Victor Berger. In the Socialist Herald on July II. Itvf. think of It. less than four years ago. had pub lished ever his own signature the fol lowing vlla sedition: Bercer Talks Hevelattoa. 'It la easy to predict that the safety and hope of this country will anally lie in one direction that of a violent and bloody revolution. Therefore. I ay. each of the tOO.OOil Socialist volera, and of the I.ooo.eoe workingmen who Instinctively Incline our way. should, beside doing much reading and still more thinking, also have a good rifle and the necessary rounds of 'ammuni tion la bla home and be prepared to back tip his ballot with his bullets if necessary.' "What do you think of that while you are quarreling among yourselves politically, and letting here and there an anarchist slip into el Ore in order that bo may organise the machinery ff thia great free government against vobT 1 eharge that Berger. backed by , (he Socialist party, la maintaining a vile, revolutionary headquarters In his rooms In Congress, t charge that the Socialist party la paying for hla clerks and engaged In sending perfumed an archy, thinly disguised aa revolution, 'nto every hamlet of thla great country.

It makes no difference to them whether a revolutionist recants and preteada to pray, or whether he runa around with a saucepan full of dyna mite ia hla hand. Here In Hoqulam we ran prove thia. I am not permitted to go Into personalities, but since tha veracity of my newspaper has been questioned I have a right to call to your attention the fact that every minor agitator hera haa denied that he haa aald anything against the glorious stars and stripes.

February 19. thla year: " If I had been Samuel Oompers when he was approached by the capitalists for placing hla foot on the American fiar. I would have answered: "Yes, I trampled on It. and more than that. I spit upon your flag, not mlnai I loathe the stars and stripes, once the symbol of liberty for all. but now' the stripes represent the bloody stripes left by " your lash on the back of the worker, and the stare the bullet and bayonet wounda In bla breast.

For three daya the local leaders themselves have been sitting over In Flnalsh Hall wanting to go back to the mills, but afraid of the ' black list. Why shouldn't they be black listed, every man of them? They black list my newspaper, and write me let tera threatening assassination, and yet. according to their printed book of tac tics, whsn defeated in a strike, they . are told to He. to cringe and to wblm ' per and to get back Into the mills, where, at the most favorable oppor tunity, they can pull the whistle and start a new atrike."

No Need Being Old or Wrinkled Before 75 Lillian Rumeil says any woman who has wrinkles before she's 75 Is herself responsible for them. Sunshine and fresh air she considers more valuable as complexion preservers than nos trums and cosmetics. Tho chief objection to cosmetics Is that at best ther only temporarily cov er up defects. There are certain true aids to Nature Which may be applied with directly opposite effort. Ordinary mercollaed wax. for Instance, -actually remove a bad or oldish complexion, by gradually, almest Imperceptibly, peel ing, off the worn-out ecarf skin. Just one ounce, procurable at any drug store, will soon unveil an entirely new ( and natural complexion, with an ex -qulsite girlish color. Of course cu tsneous blemlshoa like pimples, freck les, fine lines. moth patches, liver pota. disappear with the discarded skin. To prevent or remove wrinkles, a face bath which also produced natural results. Is made by dissolving an ounce of aaxollte in a half pint witch hazel. It's wonderfully effective. Ailv. but the court held that the question at issue waa not of depriving the de fendant of that right, but was simply the enforcement of an ordinance that had been passed by the city aa a matter of public safety to prevent the block ading of thoroughfares. Neff was fined f 20 and he gave notice that he will appeal to the higher court. KIDNAPERS ARE CAUGHT ACTO IXlLOffS TRIO TO CHOOK COCXTV HANOI.

Later Maud Teel brought her child to Miss Ward, who has cared for him ever since, and who later applied to Judge Bradahaw for letters of adoption.

Ida Ward, during the life of the let ter's grandmother, Mrs. H. 8. Ward, who la still In good health and a resi dent of The Dalles. Mrs. Lowell says she never signed any papers concerning such an agree ment and If any such was made It was done by her attorney without her con sent.

HILL IKES VOTES Taft Lauded as Friend of the Common People. . POMP IN ACTS MISSING President Held to Be. Greatest Pro gressive of Ace Personal Ex perience Told Please Roe- . burf Citizen. ROSEBURQ. Or.. Aprtf 17. (Special.) Laildtng; President Taft as tha greatest progressive of the age and a leader In whom the voters could' repose their tit most confidence -and trust. Dr. John Wesley Hill, of New York, tonight ad dressed a larne and appreciative audi ence In this city. "President Taft Is not a politician, said Dr. Hill, "but a man whose ability and forethought can be measured by the achievements of his Administration. The contemporaries of Abraham I.ln cola did not see him while engaged In the difficult pursuits of his office. To night we see him. but are unable to appreciate the greatness of the man while he Is engaged in his work. With Taft we cannot even appreciate the scaffolding of that great character. In him we see meekness without stu pidity, patience without Idleness, mod esty without , affectation, prodigality and statesmanship without .advertising. "We are democratic, we believe In the plain people for the simple reason that we believe In ourselves. Taft la a common man. lifted Into great propor tions, which are possible In the deveV opment of American politics. He Is ready to hear the desires and griev ances and hopes of the American peo ple. His spirit permeates the entire executive department. The record of William Howard Taft Is made up of such 'neidents as those in the simple life of Lincoln. "Taft Is great In his progresslveness, he Is a real progressive, not a fictitious one. His policy Is not one of pomp. Self-acclamation Is" easy to some who waste their time talking about prog ress but we look for It and It Is not there. We do not perceive tha progres slveness of President Taft by talk, but by actual advancement. "The progressive stands In striking contrast with the reactionary on the one hand and the revolutionist on the other. William Howard Taft Is a pro gressive, but you will find that he has not turned his back upon the Declara tion of Independence nor the Independ ence of the Judiciary. ' "Our Oovernment must ret ' upon something, not upon sinking sand, but upon liberty and progrcbs. truth and Justice." Lr. Hill's address was no- merely a review of the Administration of the President, but the Intimacy of the speaker with Mr. Taft enabled him to take his hearers Inside the pale of the President's personal lifs In a way that is not often the privilege of the ordi nary citizen. v K number of intensely lnterextlng In cidents fromMhe Ufa of the President aa a man among his fellows were told in a strikingly effective manner. Dr. Hill offered no apology as a mlnieter of the' gospel for being in politics. In answer to any criticism that might be made regarding what business a preacher has in politics he said he could haedly see what right a preacher had out of politics. "It is as much a minister's duty to do his civic duty as to do his spiritual duty." he said. In summing up the political situation. Dr. Hill said there were many reasons why Taft should be nominated. "One reason Is because one good turn deserves another, and a sense of common Justice and of fair play is so Ingrained In the character and nature of the American eitlzen that there is no question that President Taft will be nominated on the first ballot, and his present Administration vindi cated by his return to the White House." Dr. Hill displayed marked eloquence, and that his address was appreciated was attested in the liberal applause. He leaves for Southern Oregon tomor row morning, closing his Oregon cam paign with a meeting at Medford in the evening ' FAREWELL CONCERT GIVEN Klfrida Meller Welnsteln Heard in Final Recital at Multnomah. Beautiful indeed waa the singing of Elfrida Heller Welnsteln in her fare well recital at the Multnomah Hotel Tuesday evening. Mrs. Welnsteln. onaof Pcrtland's most popular singers, will leave soon for Beyrouth to enter the. career of an opera singer. The recital was attended by a lar'ge number of musical people of the city, all of whom Joined In praise of the artist's carefuK work, and, In wishing her success In her new efforts. The programme opened and closed with Wagnerian numbers, which gave excellent scope to Mrs. Wetnstein's powers. The group of Oerman songs was best liked and the singer was en thusiastically recalled. She sang "Where Blossoms Grow." At the close of the programme, she added Mrs. Beach's "The Year's at the Spring." . Mrs. Welnsteln was assisted by Mr. Rose Bloch Bauer and Jay Hutch ison in the accompaniments, by Mrs. Frankie Richet Walker, who accom panied her own song, and by Mrs. Beatrice Dierke, who added one piano number.
