Sam Jones' sonln-law. Walt Holcomb, of Nashville, Tenn., pulled off a horsera.ee at Gladstone Chautauqua this afternoon before 3000 people. It was' his own original "horserace," not exactly a contest In the flesh, but It was .every bit as thrilling, and the applause given the speaker as his "white" horse came thundering down the field and crossed the tape a few feet ahead of the "bay" was just as boisterous and vociferous as that accorded the win ning driver at the county fair. Holcomb's style Is almost as original as that of his inimitable father-in-law. In his peculiar Southern drawl lies the secret of his humor. His lecture, 'too, is original in theme and, in the ver-" nacular of the horseman, he pictures a thrilling contest between the "gray" horse of socialism, the "bay" horse of capitalism, the "black" horse of anar chy and the "white" horse of altruism. Being a horseman himself and the proprietor of a large stock ranch in Tennessee, Holcomb naturally makes his description of the steeds and their race most effective and occasionally he "hands over" a few pet slang phrases that would make the usual lingo of the Jockey seem exceedingly tame. But he gives his message and does it most . effectively. Let-lure Like Moving; Picture. His lecture is a sort of moving-picture "kinetophone," in which he is the talking machine. The good old steed called "altruism" wing by a nose, and it Is well, he . says, for the sake of Tlphteousness and Justice, that he does. The "bay" horse of capitalism, with the most promising start, fags out toward the last, while the old "gray" steed of socialism, overworked and underfed, runs a good enough race, but doesn't put any noticeable effort in the con test, no personal endeavor to capture the honors. The "black" horse of aiv archy, according to Mr. Holcomb, takes two forms In this country, anarachy of the streets, "as you are having right down here in Portland, and anarchy of the home, the best breeder of the street anarchy." Mr. Holcomb believes the di vorce evil one of the great causes of the defiance of the Government, which he says is approaching an alarming stage in this country. "I don't know what these fellows are after down in Portland. I see by the papers they're kickin' up quite a rum pus. Those I. W. W.'s are a bad bunch the 'I Won't Works' they are , and they've got to be handled firmly." Socialism, according to the speaker, is a cross between religion and poli tics. It's a big movement, he says, but the trouble is they don't kick in the right way. They are largly made up of malcontents who deride the Gov ernment and want to change the or der of affairs, because they haven't enough "get-up-and-hustle" about them to make a place for themselves in the world. "It's because every man don't try to do tho little Job. he has on hand Just a little better and Inst . uttia khIau.. than his neighbor that we have the old gray' horse plodding along at the same Id gait, in the same old harness and on the same old routine." McMlnnville Day Enjoyed. The addreess of President Leonard vv. xti-ey. or AicMinnville, on "Atmo sphere in Education or Choosing a Col lege," was the feature of the morning forum hour, celebrated as McMlnnville College morning. One of the largest ' morning sessions of the present assem bly was. held and enjoyed by the Bap tists and their friends. The concluding lecture of Dr. Gil bert's course on economic problems was given this morning. The subject was "Scientific Tax Reform in Oregon." He pointed out that the chief weaknesses of the present sysem were low and un equal assessments in different counties and a tendency toward evasion of the tax on Intangible personality. The remedy, for the first lies in adopting some plan for separating and assign ing distinct sources for state and lorai governments. For the second evil he recommended a .complete exemption of mortgages, notes, corporation secur ities, etc. Such exemption should be accompanied, he says, by a fuller de velopment of corporation taxes along scientific lines and in accordance with - the riper experience of other states. Saturday will be a big day at Chau tauqua. Mrs. Florence Kelley, of the National Consumers' League, talks at 11 A. M. Walt Holcomb speaks at 2 P. M. on "The Evolution of Wit and Humor," Professor Baumgardt git us great illustrated lecture at 8 P. M. on "the Fjields and -Fjords of Norway."

BAT CITY, Or., July 18. (Special.) Gust Nelson, Commissioner of the Port of Bay City, was severely injured yes terday by being thrown from a cart when a horse driven by County Com missioner Edner, of Garibaldi, with whom he was riding to Bay City, be came frightened at a passing freight train, and Jumped over an enbankment into the bay. Mr. Nelson fell on a pile of crushed rock and was rendered unconscious. His head was badly bruised and his side wrenched. He was removed to Tillamook Bay Hospital at Bay City. Mr. Edner escaped with slight injury and the horse was unhurt. mended by Senators Lane and Cham berlain about three months ago. He will be confirmed, probably, the early part of next week. The delay in making this appointment is . said to have been due to congestion of busi ness in the Department of Justice. As long ago as last March it was known that John Montag was Senator Lane's choice for United States mar shal' in Oregon to succeed Leslie M. Scott. The explanation given by the Department of Justice for the long de lay in sending his name to the Senate, that the Department had been so occu pied with other affairs that attention could . not be given to his case, has never particularly appealed to Oregon Democrats. Rival Candidates) Active. In fact, it has been pretty generally a matter of gossip among Democrats in position to know that the real reason for the delay was the activity of rival Democratic aspirants for the marshal ship. Among those mentioned as havine put forth well formulated candidacies, with friends at Washington laboring in their behalf, are D. M. Watson and David Houston, both Democrats of long oianaing. The confirmation of Montag as mar shal will complete the list of 1 mport ant Federal appointments in Oretron. John Montag has been a resident of Portland 30 years. He came to Port land a poor young man. havine- walked the ties and ridden freight trains to get here from Montana, whence he had gone from Quincy, 111. Only a few years prior to that he had come to America from Germany. He . Is now president and owner of the Portland Stove Works, at 626 Hood street, but he made all that he now has by hard work ana application. He is 65 years old, a bachelor, and lives at 775 Hood street.

TEACHERS PETITION HOUSE Oregon Women Have Wide Influence Says Speaker at O. A. C. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallls, July 18. (Special.) Appeal ing to the school teachers in attend ance at the O. -A. C. Summer session to do all in their power, as intelligent consumers of manufactured articles, to regulate the conditions under which women's .and children's garments are made Mrs. Florence Kelly, of New York City, secretary of the National Consumer's league, secured favorable action in the matter of presenting a formal request to the Oregon delega tion In the house to support the Peter's bill establishing an eight-hour labor law in the District of .Columbia. "That the women of Oregon have far reaching influence in matters pertain ing to the welfare of employed women came to our attention" said Mrs. Kel ley "when the head of a. manufactur ing concern in Baltimore reported that his goods were not selling in Portland because his bouse was not using the Winged Circle label of our league." Mrs. Kelley explained that the use of the Winged Circle label is a guarantee that the article bearing it was manufac tured under sanitary conditions by a manufacturer who employed no young children and observed reasonable fac tory hours. "What the Portland branch of the National Consumers' League has done for the improvement of conditions in certain Maryland factories the school teachers of Oregon may help to do for other workers where the battle has not been won, concluded the speaker.
