THE NATION IS AT WAR
JllfMulKhed itiid Oislumor In Mexk'o
Could Have lleyl Avoided Had
Administration Used a
Policy of Kii'imieaH.
Hon. E. J. Adams, of Eugene, last
night spoke to a large and appre
ciative audience at the old (Arm
ory. Mr. Adams is sent out
by the state committee and is one
of the foremost Hughes workers in
the state. His address was one of
the best ever heard in this ctiy nnd
was met by a great deal of enthu
sism on the part of those present.
His speech was prefaced by a few
patriotic remarks on the nation and
on the flag. Mr. Adams said that
he was proud to be an American, was
proud of the American flag and the
' principles for which it stood.
Through the years of the history of
the nation, it had come unstained
and unsullied. The American na
tion by its high ideals bad won the
respect of the world, the flag was
honored land loved, it had flown
unspotted until within the' past few
months the first stain has appeared
upon it, a stain which will only be
erased by a firm policy which will
again win back the respect of the
nations.
He first took up the matter 01
the pledges made by the democratic
party during tho campaign of 1112,
showing how they hud promised a re
duction in the high cost of living, a
settlement in tho .Mexico situation,
the exemption of American vessels
going through the Panama canal and
many other promises which they
failed in every respect in carrying
out.
Jn 1915, he said, that we exported
one halt' of one per cent as much as
in 1913, notwithstanding the fact
that 13,000,000 men in Europe have
given up peaceful pursuits and have
entered into war. This shows that
the women of those countries have
taken up the burden of production
and are carrying on the labor which
was formerly devolvent upon the
men. When the remnants of the
armies return following tho conflict
the work of the women will go on
aud combined with that of the men I
will double the former production.
The monstrous war taxes which
have been put upon them by the
governments under which they live
will force them to produce as much
as possible and consume as little
as possible, while their product is be-
ing placed on the market to recoup .
the finances of the nation. The
American market offers the great-
est opportunity for these products
and the country will be flooded as
tho result of the labors of the Euro
IK'iinK. Sotnethlnc; must he done to
meet these conditions. An article
iniimir.utmed for 55 cents In Eu
rope can he shipped to this country
and sold ahead of an American ar
ticle costing Sl.tjft-tn manufacture (
Hnd the American product will be
left lying on the shelves while the
meney will co from this country
across the Atlantic. As a result our
factories w'lll he forced to stop op
erations, our mills will cease mn
niiiE and our men will be Idle, unable
to compete with the low wages anil
living costs of Kuropo.
It was shown that waf consists
merely in destroying of lives and
property, and nlthoiieh no formal
declaration has ever been Issued we
nre now and hive been at a state of
war with Mexico. Tie lives of , Alseo Arrendondo. the present Mexl

PRISONER HAD FILE
Sheriff Quine Makes Discov
ery in Time to Save
Jailbreak.
MEYERS WANTED IN SALEM
Man Arrested for Stealing Auto at
Olcmlalo In W mi led in .Marion
County On a Charge
Of linpe.
Had It not been for the timely
discovery of a file hidden in the
shoe of his prisoner, Sheriff Quine
would undoubtedly have lost the In-
mates now In the county Jail. Hay
Meyers, alias Howard, who was yes
torday brought to this city charged
with having stolen an automobile
from Glendale and from Portland
also wanted at Salem on a charge of
rape, had hidden the tool In his
shoe before his capture and al-
though searched . by the sheriff at
Hornbrook, Calif., and by Deputy
Sheriff Allen Brown, of Glendale, it
was not until he was searched by
Sheriff Quine that it was found.
Shortly after the prisoner had
been placed In Jail, Sheriff Quine re-
celved a picture of the man and a
' statement from the sheriff at Salem
that he was wanted there on a
charge of rape. Ho formerly resided
at Mill City, it was said his name
being Hoy Meyers instead of How
ard as was first staled. His father
resides at Rlackwall, Okla., and tt
is Ulought that he was starting on
his way there in the stolen cars
when arrested.
The prisoner will probably be sent
to Sale 111 to answer to the charge
there, which, if he is convicted, will
mean a sentence of several years in
the penitentiary. Two other charges
for stealing automobiles, one in
Multnomah county and the other in
this county may be lodged against
him In case a convict inn In not
reaclu-d by the Marlon county court.

Oregon Agricultural College
and Nebraska Uni
versity Clash.
AGGIES ARE STRONG
Conch IMpul of O. A. C Demonstrated
Now Lino of Football Against
Washington State College ami
Won lly Decisive Score.
Tu of the best foot hall teams In
tho United States clashed this after
noon at Portland when tho Oregon
Agricultural College team met the
aggregation from Nohraska Univer
sity. The game Is one of the first of
the Interscctional matches nnd Is a
recognition on the part of tho east
that the western colleges can play
foot bull, a fact which was brought
forcibly to them last year when the
Oregon Aggies trimmed the Michi
gan college by a large score.
Up to that time thero had been no
games Htated between the team of
the east and west, but Immediately
following that scrimmage several
contests wore scheduled, tho team
from Syracuse, N. Y., coming to
Portland lu the fall of last year and
defeating tho aggies only because
the latter wore playing a badly crip
pled and demoralized team ugalnst
them fts a result of four of their
best men having been laid out with
broken bones 'n a game with the
state univonriiy only a short time
before.
Tho game also Kohls n special in
terest because of the fact that the
Nebraskans coach is Dr. R. J, Stew
art, formerly coach of tho Agricul
tural collego squad. Dr. Stewart for
four years couched the Agricultural
college team to victory and resign
ed 3 portion against the protests
of the students last fall. Ho then
went to Nebraska, where ho took
chargo of the corn-fed huskies.
Until last week It had been con
ceded that tho Nebraska team would
have an easy victory over the Ore
gon team because of the fact that
the greater part of the team Is com
posed of new players, only four of
last year's men remaining, Tho de
cided vletof?. however, over the
Washington state college lust week,
a defeat of what has alwnys been the
strongest team of the northwest and
has never before BUffored defeat un
der their present coach, has proven
that Coach Plpal, tho coach for O. A.
C. has developed a team which fights
along new lines, and is superior to
tho old style. The Oregon boys
showed great superiority over their
heavier opponents and by a system
of end runs and forward passes
easily won over Washington. This
fact has caused a groat deal of ap
prehension In the ranks of the Ne
braska n supporters.
Tho llrst quarter ended with Ne
braska 7 points in the lead, having
hoc tired a touchdown, u goal kick.
In the second quarter tho Aggies,
by a K.VHtem of open playing, forced a
touchdown over the Nebraska line
and succeeded In winning the goal
. kick, tying tho score.

and tho many other beauty spots of
tho northwest, In'o a publication sot
