Socialist Candidate
EPICRAMS AMUSE LISTENERS
Elimination ol Competitive System
Argued as Only Salvation
For Woiklngman
The Socialist "Red Special," carry
ing Eugene V. Debs, candidate for
P KSiutsJit, and . rumber ot pa.ty
spellbinders, was greeted by about
400 people when It pulled into the
Southern Pacific depot at 7 o'clock
this morning. The train, which con
sisted ot three cars, remained here
only 30 minutes, and one-half of that
time was occupied by Mr. Debs in
making a red hot campaign speech
from a baggage truck. He was pre
ceded by Prof. Harry McKee, a So
cialist lecturer of Sun Diego, and
former instructor in mathematics at
Albany (Oregon) College. During
the brief intermissions, a 15-piece
band carried on the Bpecial played
several pieces and criers sold cam
paign literature, such as "Men and
Mules" and "What Bryan and Tal't
Will do for the Laboring Man."
When the -speech-making was over
ccileitlon was ttien up, thr.ri wi
a round of handshaking and tne spe
cial then resumed Its journey north.
Growth of Socialism.
"Since leaving Chicago our Jour
ney has been one continuous ova
tion," said Prof. McKee, addressing
the crowd at the conclusion of the
first number by the baud. "We have
bteen holding remarkable meetings
everywhere. At San Diego, for in
stance, we were greeted by an audi
ence of 12,000 and in San Francisco
we filled the biggest hall In the city.
"The Soclntlst party, once despised
nd rejected, Is now accepted and
must be reckoned with as one of the
dominant parties of the - country.
Sartlng from an insignificant group
of men In 1896, It polled 80,000 votes
in 1900, and 450,000 votes in 1904.
and is now growing more rapidly
than ever. I haven't explained to
you the principles of Socialism, but
if you will Investigate it 1 will have
no fear of the result."
Debs Tickles Crowd.
When Debs mounted the baggage
truck he was given a round of hearty
applause from the some 200 Sociul
in'i: comprising one half of his a.cr:i
ence. HiB blunt manner ol. stating
things and the sharts of sarcasm
which he hurled at the capitalistic
and competitive systems of the pres
ent day brought forth frequent bursts
of handclapping and laughter. He
declared that both the republican and
democratic platforms were Inimical
to the Interests of the laboring man,
whose only hope of getting hlB just
share of the proceeds of production.
ha argued, lies in the elimination of
the contiMHitive system, as advocat
ed by the Socialist party.
"Every few years there is a period
of business depression In this coun
try and you workingmen always get
the worst of It; and still you listen
to the politicians and go right on
voting for the republican and demo
cm;; parties," wis l.ow Mr. Dfl'js J
mlnistered a rebuke. "The politician

Intelligence, which he knowB you do
not possess, and declares that he
values the drops of sweat on your
brows far above the Jewels in a
queen's coronet. Muybe he does, but
he never wears that kind of Jewelry
himself. Before the election he calls
you a horny' handed son. of toil, but

are horny headed. And you with the
small capital entortaning the idea
that you are competing with the big
ger capitalists; yon are succliiiii
about as well as I would in trying
to operate a wheelbarrow as against
the Oregon Short Line railway. But
never mind; when the Rockefellers,
Goulds, Morgans. and Vandnrbllts get
through with you then you'll be
ready to come to us. When Mr. Taft
was asked what would a laboring
man do if he and his family were
starving and could not get work he
replied, 'God only knows.' In 1900
the motto of the republican party
was 'let well enough alone.' In 1904
Is was 'stand pat' and tills year It is
'God only know.' Well, we Social
ists know, and wo are willing to let
Wall Street gather hi all the wealth
It can, because the time Is coming
when we Socialists will own the
earth, and use it for the benefit of
all the people."
Mr. Debs closed his speech with a
rosy, word-picture of the glorious
future under Socialism. As he step
ped down off the truck he was beseig
ed by a crowd of oral followers anx
ious to grasp his hand, the literature
venders did a better business, the
coins clinked merrily as they dropped
Into the huge contribution box and
the band struck up "The Mantel
lalse." Finally the whistle of the
locomotive was sounded, and Mr.
Debs, standing on the rear platform
ot the last car, waving his hat and
smiling expansively, went speeding
out ot town.
Militia Is Roasted."
The "lied Special" stops over to
tilliht in Portland, where Mr. DjIis
will deliver au address. Portland
Socialists who are arranging for the
meeting had planned to hold It in the
Armory, but wore refused the use
ot that building and then engnged
the Exposition skating rink. Resent
ing the action of the Armory manage
ment, the Socialists had several hun
dred dodgers printed for advertising
the meeting. On these bills is print
ed the following paragraph:
"Owing to the fact that the officers
of that scab-herding aggregation of
legalized murderers misnamed mil
itia but better known as N. Q's.
refused to rent us the Armory the
building in which they practice how
to shoot down unlou men on strike
we are forced to take the Exposition
building, which is a little further out,
but which will accommodate an audi
ence of 10,000."
At Grants Pass last night Debs
wrb greeted by an audience ot 2000
people.

term. The total enrollment i
. for the day Is 764, but this
i number will be Increased to
nearly a thousand before the
end ot the month. Study will
not begin until tomorrow. This
i morning's time was wholly
taken up with the enrollment
of pupils and their assignment
to the various grades, and they
were given this afternoon to
purchase the necessary books

Lane school held Buch a mcet-
ing last Saturday.

. school 86 of them for High
school studies and the remain
. 161 is divided among the five
lower grades housed there. The
highest enrollment In any of
i the grades is 72 in the sixth.
ThlB will probably necessitate
. the engagement of an additiun-
al teacher or two.
i The schools are under the dl-
rection of Supt. L. L. Maker
and a corps of 21 teachers.
. B'sldee the two main buUdlngB
2 ward schoolB were also op-
ened. une of the latter Is In
the old store building at Uie
. railroad crossing in Eden-
bower, and the other Is in the
new store building erected by
Mr. Hart, opposite the Free
Methodist church in West
i Roseburg. Each of theso are
for the use of pupils In the
first, second and third grades.
There are now over 100 chll-
dren of school age In West
Roseburg and about half as
many In Edenbower, who live
in this school district.
SALE OF CURRY FARM.
Numerous Iteports are Heard, hut No
Definite Announcements Mudc.
For several days ast there have
been In circulation In this city and
vicinity several somewhat Indefinite
reports of the sale of the fine 2!i00
acro farm belonging to the Curry
estate and located five miles north of
this city, at the confluence of the
North and South Umpqua rivers.
The purchasers are said to he
Chaa. F. Johnson, of Philadelphia,
and some other gentlemen whose
names are not given. Saturday's
Portland Telegrnm contained un an
nouncement In relation to the matter,
but had It so badly mixed that the
reKrt was of little value. Neither
Mr. Johnson nor Mr. Chaa. Curry
will make a statement for publica
tion at tills time regarding the mat
tor. We understand, however, that
a sale has been agreed uion, and an
initial payment made. The price Is
said to be upwards of $100, null, bill
as yet no papers have been filed
showing that such transfer has been
made. The Curry farm Is generally
known as one of the finest in south
ern Oregon, and It Is said to be the
purpose of the purchasers. In case
the deal Is concluded, to subdivide
It into orchard tracts of 10 and 20
acres for which purose it is ad
mirably adapted.

The skin is an Index to the qunlity of the blood. Knemn Acne, Tetter,
pimples, rushes, eruptions, etc., show that some unhealthy humor or acid
impurity is diseosini? and corrupting the circulation, o that instead ol
supplying nourishment and strength to the fine, delicate tissues of the skin,
it is continually pouring out its acrid nnd unhealthy accumulations.
Kxternal applications ol salves, wnshes, lotions, etc., may relieve Borne of
the itching nnd other discomfort caused by skin troubles, and for this reason
should lie used, but such treatment cannot reach the huuior-laden blood,
and therefore cannot cure. A thorough-cleansing of the blood is the only
cure for skin diseases. S. S. S., a purely vegetable preparation, is the best
and quickest remedy. It goes down into the circulation and neutralizes
and removes the acids, impurities and humors, thoroughly purifies the
circulation nnd permanently cures skin diseases of every kind. Wheu
S. S. S. lins driven the humors and Impurities from the blood, and cooled
and cleansed the acid-heated circulation, every symptom passes away, the
skin in again nourished with rich, healthful blood and the trouble cured, as
the cause has been removed. Hook on skin diseases and any medical advice
