"I would have a man who speaks of the American flag only to revile It cast out of this land, of whore liberty and protection be has shown blmself unworthy." he aald. "I have read of the parades In neigh boring cities," ho said at a later point In his address, whera the American flag waa borne In processions along witn the red flag of Socialism and was hissed and reviled. I believe that the American flag, which symbolises the principle thai all men are born equal, upon wblcli this Government was founded and baa been maintained, should never fiy over the heads of eut h people, who regard tt only with derision and contempt. Rather place over them the red flag. Just as we would place It before a pesthouse. "The present generation Is the cradle of a new race and the grave of tha old. Tl.e indent stock that founded this. Government la dying out and Is being arenrbed by representatives from a hunured different countries. But It Is. nevertheless, for this generation to carry forward the prlnclplea of pa triotism upon which tnls country was founded and which alone will rr.ake It possible for tbe Nation to continue to exist in freedom." a'ather Contay deplored the en croachment of personalities Into tha present Presidential campaign, de claring that the spectacle of the con test between 1'rrsident Taft and ex rresidrnt Kooeeveit. as It has been carried on. should fill us with shame. "This la a Government of law and not of men." he Said. "Men fall and para away, principles abide and reflect eternlis. It Is a sad thing when men ceaae to. look more profoundly upon tr.e great prlnclplea of right and lib erty upon which our fiovernment rests and are swayed toward bitter struggles for mere personal aggrandisement, to which some appear to be subordinating all the greater and tbe-real Issues of tne campaign." - Postmaetrr C.

RAILWAY WORK PROJECTED Southern Facirio Company Plans to Add Trackage. Double tracking; tho Southern Pacific main line between the new bridge across the Willamette and tha city limits probably will be started within the present year. It Is announced that plans for this Improvement have been completed nd expenditure of money necessary to carry them out vflll be authorized within the next few days. D. W. Campbell, 'general superin tendent of the Southern - raclftc. has been In San Francisco for the last few days conferring with E. E. Calvin, gen eral manager, and other officials on the contemplated Improvement. He will return to Portland before the end ot the week, after which. It Is expected, work will start. Rights of wsy have been secured. In most places the present grade. will per mit placing; the second track ' without much work. v. This work Is In conformance with a general plan for the Improvement of the East tMde main line between Port land and Salem. Some of this develop ment has been completed already. Heavier rails have been laia. grades and curves have been eliminated and much ballasting has been done. It is probable that the entire line between Palem and Portland will be double tracked. Eventually ths Southern Pacific will be a double-tracked line all the way between Portland and San Francisco, although plans for such an improve ment are yet in embryo. It Is necessary to double track be tween Portland an Oregon City to per mit the easier movement of the heavy timber shipments to the paper mills. CHINESE MAY GO FREE Ileltman's Charge Against Alleged Lotterymen Scored. Hints that tho office of the District Attorney will not lend Itself heartily to the prosecution of five- Chinese who are. charged by E. W. Heltman witn con ducting lotteries in which he lost $6000 were dropped in Municipal Court yes terday when the case cam up to be set for heeirlVig next Monday. Special prosecutors who appeared in the case expressed open dissatisfaction with the attitude of Deputy District At torney Hennessy, while tho prosecutor and Judge Taswell plainly intimated that lf the facts are as they purport to be. the trial will be given short shrift. "This is Just like a case of a roan playing poker and squealing when he loses, said Hennessy. inn complain ant has been playing the lotteries for years and now comes in and says he has losL" "If that proves to be thescase, said Judge Taxwell. "the court will not make much bones about the case. Rumors are going about that nego tiations are on for a settlement in which the accused Chinese are to pay $3000. They deny that he lost $6000 or anv ether considerable amount, and their attorney denounces the whole proceeding as a mistake, so iar as at least four of the Chinese are concerned. He says he knows nothing of any of fer of settlement. SEWER MAY Bg REMOVED Reruse Emptying Into Deschutes Said to Be Menace. A sewer on the Warm Springs In dian Reservation, in Eastern Oregon, empties into the Deschutes River, im periling the health of those that use the water of this river for drinking purposes, in violation of both the state and Federal laws, according to the state health officer, who has just re turned from a trip to Eastern Oregon. Dr. White will take the matter up with the Federal authorities immedi ately, with a view to having the nui sance abated. At the last session of the Oregon Legislature a special law was passed prohibiting the emptying of sewage or refuse matter of any kind Into the Deschutes River or Its tributaries, as It is the only Important stream that runs through a vast stretch of terri tory, more or less arid, and has to be used for domestic purposes. A Federal statute also prohibits the disposal of refuse into any stream that is not nav igable. The sewer at tbe agency has been in existence eight years. s 1 Road Work Is Cnder Way.

McAllister, one of the at torneys for Jack Roberts, who is ac cused of murdering Donald II. Stew art and George Hastings in - an at tempted . automobile holdup on the Whltehouee road on the night of March IS. Indicated clearly that the defense will be insanity, when yesterday morn ing he procured from Presiding Judge Kavanaugh an order for ths attend ance of several witnesses who are ac quainted with the history of the Rob erts family. The trial Is scheduled to commence next Monday. The Indictment charges the murder of Stewart. Among those to be summoned by the defense are Dr. R. Lee Steiner, super intendent of the Oregon insane aslyum. who will be called upon to produce records showing that Roberts' mater nal grandfather died in the institution and that his paternal grandmother and other of his relatives were incar cerated there; Dr. Francis H. Pool, superintendent of the Idaho state asy lum at Blackfoot, Idaho, who made an Investigation of the Roberts' family history when a younger brother of the defendant was committed to that in stitution a few months ago, and Dr. W. E. Brown, an alienist, of Tacoma, Wash., who was present when the de-. fendant was born and who will testify to various abnormalities. Others who will be aubpenaed are Robert and John Johnson, of Rainier, Or who will testify that both the mother and father of the defendant's mother died Insane; Charles Marshall, Theodore Marshall. Fred Marshall, William Klelnschmitt, C. Kelson Lar klns, Oiga Einer and Edna Klner. who reside near Clark's store, Claskamas County, who, Roberts states in his af fidavit, were in a position to observe his mental and physical condition dur ing January, February and March this year; the defendant's mother and step father, Mr. and Mrs, Pfelffer, who also reside near Clark's store. . Clackamas County: Mrs. Ernest Babcock. of Ore gon City, and Ed Grace, Isaac Cook and John Stout, all of whom reside in Clackamas County In the same general neighborhood as Roberts' parents. The attorneys for the defense hope by these and other witnesses to con vince the Jury that Roberts is not guilty by reason of insanity. Their hope Is to secure his commitment to the Insane asylum. Dr. Brown is re ported to have said that Roberts has been mentally Incompetent since birth and that his condition will grow steadily worse instead of better. At birth, according to Dr. Brown, who at that time was practicing at Hillsboro, Or., the defendant was minus a por tion of the top of bis skull. This is said to have grown in later, leaving the top of Roberta" head practically flat. i Sheep Start for Gracing Lands. HUSLTM. Wash., May 28. (Special.)
