Enjoyable Event ABLE ADDRESSES GIVEN C. I Clieniiweth Elected President for Ensuing Year Sirs. K. U. Waite lrcontn 2.10 Volumes to Academy Library. "Best annual event In Douglas county." Thus Is epitomized the pre vailing sentiment at the big reunion of the Umpqua Academy association at Wilbur last Saturday. And Judg ing from the general enjoyment of these annual gatherings, the declara tion rings true. While these reunions afford an un usual degree of pleasure to all the participants, the undying fame of Hie Wilbur educational institution is founded upon the basis of real ser vice. Hence It is that so many prominent men aud women of the Pacific Northwest have gone out from the old academy which was founded here In 1 863. The names of a number of these who have become leaders In the affairs of the county, state and nation were cited in I he addresses given there last Saturday. Ana tne garnering itself was honored by the presence of a number of men of prominence In this and other states who were former students of the old Uufpqua Academy and who delight to return as often as posaible to these annual reunions to again pay tribute to their alma mater. In his response to the address of welcome, Judge J. C. Fullerton vivid ly contrasted the educational condi tions of today with those of the pio neer days in Oregon. He was a stu dent at Wilbur In I860. Then It wns the essentinls that were taught which bullded for sturdy and force ful manhood and womanhood nf the highest character. Today, he be lieves, a far too great preponderance Is being givn to non-essentials. He also advocates a stronger public sup port for the local Institution, ns compared with the additional fund of about $1,250,000 annually voted laBt month by the people of the stnte for the state university, agricultural college and normal school. Ho had not a word derogatory to anv of these Institutions, but believes schools like the Umpqua Academy give better practical results for the amounts of money expended. Judge Fullerton was among the early advocates of womnn suffrage, and he expressed the belief that the time is near when women will ably administer a number of the public offices of the county and state. He regards the fine new school building at Wilbur as an auspicious beginning for the rejuvenation of the Umpqua Academy. Address by Austin Sllres. The annual address was given by Hon. Austin Mires, of Ellenshurg. Wash., who was a former student here. Judge Mires Is now a promi nent official of our neighboring state, but traveled pome 700 miles to attend this annual homecoming. In his address Mr. Mires cited the stress of the present day commercial life. In fact In the rush of modern times life seems to Include many deserts and few oases. Perhaps this mav be due to emphasizing commer cialism Instead of character. There was sturdy character building here in the old school days of 40 or 50 years ago. While the students then may at times have considered their environment, requirement and re strictions severe, nil who are living today have only the warmest affec tion for the old Umpqua Academy. No better men or women ever lived, declared the speaker, than those who opened Oregon to civiliza tion. They were the builders of homes and communities and states. Now the high desire of young men seeniM to be the acquirement of wealth. Yet It Is a false Idea that getting wealth is the chief aim of life. The splendid purpose of those honored pioneers was the building of homes nnd the rearing of families of honorable sons nnd daughters. They were most neighborly, helpful and hospitable. They read aloud good books and papers, and age was rev erenced. They were a most practi cal people. The mothers not only i gave excellent care nnd training to i their children, but they also made i their clothing and were famous I cooks. They knew and practiced ! more of real domestic science than Is even approached by our schools of i today. Instead of being theoretical, I Ihelrs was the practical work. Thus jlhey laid the foundation nf a future : state. ! Special tribute was paid to the I nloneers and Father Wilbur who founded Wilbur Academv. There they aimed to train the children lo think nnd act for themselves. They were taught thrift and character. The present day need Is for men an I women of Initiative. Hence the need for more Institutions such as the old Umpqua Academy. The sturdy men of those days would not for a mo ment tolemte the doctrines of so cialism, bulshevlam, or other present day isms. Likewise they were op posed1 to autucracy and stood for equal opportunities for all. Under present conditions each In dividual la a part of his own govern ment. Hence It is the duty of every one to vole. If these duties are neglected, the Individual has rea'ly no right to complain because things are uot as they should be. The right lo Individual ownership of property is manliest. 11 is exercised to a de gree even by tho animuis and the birds. It is the strongest Incentive to Individual ambition and pa triotism. Hence no effort should be spared to stamp out Bolshevism. The speaker declared that schools and colleges should not be "white collar" institutions. Education should fit young men and women for practical pursuits. Provision should be made for both work and play. He also declared that no man or combi nation of men has the right to pre vent anyone having the right to work. Likewise the profiteers were roundly condemned yet the country at present Is cursed by them. The dignity of honest labor was upheld, nnd the duty of mothers In so train ing their children rn pointed out. lest tho coming men und women be insipid and thriftless. Splendid Dinner, During tile noon hour there was served another of those splendid din ners that have had no small part In making these assemblages famous. In the culinary art the women of the present day seem to have fully main tained the skill of their mothers and grandmothers and to have added thereto by their own knack, equip ment and experience. At least each succeeding dinner on these annual ocensions seems better than the last. The Impromptu after dinner speech-making was under direction (Continued on Page 4.)

The Slate Grange delegates re turned from Bend yesterday and re port the largest attendance and most interesting session of the State Grange held for a number of years. Approximately four hundred dele gates and visitors were In attendance during tho week. The delegates speak highly of the treatment by the citizens of Bend, who threw tholi houses open to furnish accommoda tions for ttie visitors. On Tuesday evening the coinmer clal club of Bend furnished a trout lunch, having spent the Iwo days nrc vlous In the mountains fishing. Over five hundred trout were used In pre paring the banquet, which consisted of fried trout, baked Netted Gem no tatoes nnd coffee a la cow camp. The hannttet was served on the banks of the Deschutes river, end tho band furnished music for tho entertain ment of the visitors until midnight. The Master of the National Grange was In nttendnnce for three days of the session This Is the first visit Mr. Lowell has made in the west anrt he expressed himself as enthusiastic over the reception given him. Mr. Lowell addressed the convention a an open meeting on Thursday even ine. One of the striking stateinentr "at he made during his address was "that there was only three things thnt could cause a famine In America nnd those were shorter hours, higher pnv and cheaper food. Shorter hour? onrl higher pay attracting laborers nnd farmers from the ferm nnd the demand for cheaper food decreasing product bin." The Orange voted to hold th" session In Eugene next year, at the earnest solicitation of the Chambe' of Commerce nnd the Granges of Lane county, and It Is expected that at least a thousand members will b" In ".teinlMnee. The secretary's report showed tha' the Orange has Increased In member ship during the past year and that more Interest is being shown In the cn-operntlve enterprises.

OVEROMENT ASSAILED Executive Council ot American Fed eration of Ijibor Condemns Ac tion of Congress in Failing to Control Living Costs. (By Associated Press.) MONTREAL, Quebec, June 7. Denunciation of Bolshevism, profi teering, the action of the United States government In invoking the ood control law against the late nlners' strike, and the failure of the American congress to take action to control the cost ot living are among he outstanding features of the an nual report of the executive council of tho American Federation ot La- oor presented today to the annual convention here. With the council's review of or ganized labor's position and activities for the last year, was also presented a specific program for remedy. The Cupimlngs railroad law was lenounced. as was the Kansas law jstabllshlng the court of Industrial relations. The high cost of living was laid largely at the doors of "big nrotlteers," while the report declared he United States government, prin cipally through Its department of lustlce, "has conducted a campaign ot uupldlty. Congress was assailed for cutting impropriations designed to carry on 'he work of collateral branches of he department of labor and tor varl us proposals, such as the sedition 'Jill, which the report says the labor movement was instrumental In de feating. In Us references to the foreign leld, the report denounced what it haracterlzed as propaganda for American Intervention In Mexico and leclared that the executive council ees "no justification for Interfer ence," which it argues would be In he Interest, "of the exploitation of Its workers, and ItB boundless wealth f oil and mineralas." The United Slates Steel Corpora Ion was assailed for Its refusal to leal with labor organizations In the ecent unsuccessful strike, and the luthorltles of Boston also were de munced for their attitude in the ;elebrated strike of policemen in that ity. The workmen of Canada were con Tiatulalcd for defeating the "one big inlon" idea and their stand was haracterlzed as a "magnificent rlumph for trade unionism, and a indication of the purposes, policies md achievements of tha American t deration of Labor." Tho Industrial conferences called y President Wilson were character zed as unsuccessful because "the mplnyers stubbornly resisted every it tempt at conciliation and would -ot accept any resolution on collec ive bargaining" unless It was so worded as to be anti-trade union In pliit and to provide encouragement Mid support for company unions." The machinery proposed by the sec md conference, the report attacks, is In nniny respects "actually per nicious" and it declares that "the Machinery designed by the presl lent's commission is entirely out of onlact with the life for which It was lesigned nnd entirely unfitted for the needs of that life." Existing machinery, the report do lares, "is superior in every re ipect." As a program of "specific remedy or existing conditions, tho council's eport proposes the following: "Wo demnnd that the government 'in authorized to buy standard com .odltles direct from producers and hat these commodities he dlstrlb 'ed through regular retail channels as a retail price to bo fixed by the overn ment. "We demand that this power be ade use of as a corrective for prnfl rerlng and we call attention to the 'act that the government has estab Ushcd a precedent for such action In s sales of surplus war supplies. "We demand Ihut the federal fcnv 'inmenl through the Internal rev Mine department ascertain the mount of excessive war profits ex nrted from the American peop'e dur ing the vi-ars 1ft IB. 1917. 1918. 1919 md 1920. and that these excessive vnr profits be tnk"n through Its tax tig power hy the federal government nd applied to the extinguishment of 'he floating debt of the government md to partial retirement of liberty onds at par In order that the exlst lg Inflated structure of jnrreney -nd credit mav be reduced and that be government mny carry out Its -nrred obligation to the people to laintaln its liberty and victory bonds t ear.
