MARION, O., Sept. 14. In an ad
dress today to a delegation of Cali
fornians, Senator Harding said in
part as follows:
Americana, I greet you who come
from far places, with deep gratitude
for the honor you have done the
ranse I represent, which I believe 1b
lit cause of all the people of Arher-
"There Is no, sectionalism in the
United States.
"'America first.' That spirit is
behind our individual citizenship
which conceives government as be
ing the expression of a community
of Interests and not a paternal or
autocracy, or one-man source of
pretended benevolence.
"Let us not allow those who would
like to retain the autocratic power
which the war put Into their band?
to deceive free Americans with the
delusion that "democracy" . painted
is s sign over their works conceals
the fact that they have robbed us
of true democracy. -They have set
tip a one-man dictatorship which
they, of course, desire to perpetuate,
ltd which finds In their various
spokesmen the expression 'we are in
full accord.'
"Today you have come here from
the Pacific coast. I do not doubt
that Americans on the coast art
troubled about the Japanese ques
tion. That question ralBes every in
terpretation of our watchword,
'America First," for it Involves four
sets of obligations. It involves our
obligations to a great power. It in
volves the obligations of that power
(Hard us. It Involves the obliga
v. of all America toward one
group of American states and their
peoples. But it also involves the ob
ligation of that group of slates to the
nation.
"There are-those who incline to
raise alarm because of the dangers
which lurk in racial differences. I
do not say racial inequalities but
radical differences. I am ever ready
to recognize that the civilisation of
Japan Is older than ours; that her
people have a proud and honorable
tradition; that they have engaged in
a change from Oriental to modern
customs of business and govern
ment with amazing ability and that
thej have a stalwart, unflinching
honor, both in armed defense of
their rights and in the fulfillment of
their international promises.
"in spite of the honor of a people
and the great measures of contribu
tion they make to the world's ad
vancement, it is conceivable that
tley may be so different In racial
characteristics or in manner of life
practice from another people of
equal honor and achievements that
o matter whether It be on the soil
of one or upon the soil of the other,
these differences without raising any
question of inequality, may create,
as 1 believe they have created, upon
our coast, without blame to either
ide. a friction that must be reeog
14. The nation owes to the Pa
cific coast to recognize that fact. The
nation owes It to the Pacific coast
nates to stand behind them, in
necessary measures consistent with
w national honor, to relieve them
melr difficulties. To me It ap-
mat in this task the Japanese
J"W and the government of Japan
v an Interest equal to our own.

MIL TERM AND FINE.
.. - -
' By Associated Press
CHICAGO. Sept. 14. Jack
4 Johnson was sentenced to serve
one year and a day (n the
Leavenworth penitentiary and
was fined $1000 In the federal
court for violation of the Mann
white slave act.
-
and all Americans, shall regard her
and her people as wise enough to
continue- to assist in solving the
question of Japanese Immigration so
that not only shall new and more
stringent understandings be made
and not only all understandings shall
be observed officially, but so - that
evasions of these agreements by In
dividual Japanese shall be complete
ly stopped.
"Changes have been taking place
in our national life which require
recognition and study and none Is
mure important than that which has
made It necessary . for us. to assure
ourselves that American agriculture
shall be restored to vigor and pros
perity. . I believe that we must put
the land owning farmer bock on our
soil and provide for the loan of the
capital when necessary to buy and
operate farms;, that we must encour
age co-operation In the . buying by
the consumer and In the selling by
the farmer of our food products;
that we must increase our facilities
of roads, railroads and motor track
ing; that we must invite the farmer
Into our representative and execu
tive branches of government to get
his eounse.
'Because the safety and prosperity
of the farmers of. this country are
our own safety, and prosperity, no
man, woman or child can fail to have
an Interest in protecting our basic
industry wherever protection is
necessary by the proper use of tariff
regulation. . : .
We have adequate national and In
ternational reasons for keeping alive
our necessary agricultural industries
when they are threatened by compe
tition from lands of cheap labor or
new and exploited soil by a protec
tive duty on our Imports of food.
I think a case in point is your
own fruit industries of California.
America must ask herself If she will
allow these industries to be threat
ened In their very existence by the
Invasion of foreign grown fruits cul
tivated In some cases under a sub
sidy given by a foreign government,
by labor which knows nothing ot our
American standards of living.
'My answer Is that. If to save this
or any other worthy and developing
agricultural Industry of America,
tariff protection- Is necessary, t nen
protection must be given.
"But I point out to you this fact:
The republican protection of specific
American agricultural industries
must not be based upon any group or
class which thinks it will profit. We
are acting to safeguard and balance
the Interest of all. "
Anthracnose Is
Damaging Trees
Annie Tree Anthracnose has done
more iniurv to orchards, and caused
more loss to growers in Douglas
county during the past year than any
other tree disease, says county fruit
insoector Armstrong. It also bias
fair to do more Injury the coming
year than It has in the past unless
vigorous spraying (s done with the
proper material and at the right time
As there has been so mucn sam aim
written about anthracnose most all
interested must be Ifamlliar with It
hv thla time. ' '
Bordeaux spray Is the remedy, ah
apple orchards that have no crop
should be anraved now with the
RnrrieAllT nrnv of 6-6-50. That IS
full winter strength. Many growers
who have fruit growing on the trees
have used Bordeaux of a weaker
strength for the August Codlln Moth
spray. This will hold the antnracnose
In check until the fruit is narvesieu
immaHimi.lv nftpr the fruit is har
vested the trees must be sprayed
inln with rtnrrieaux 616150. If an)
one does not know how to make the
Bordeaux spray, full directions win
lie given by making application to
the fmlt insnector's office. In spray
ing for the anthracnose It Is well to
keep In mind the tract tnat any sp
on ihA tppe. no matter how small.
that Is not cotted with the spray Is
subject to Infection. Therefore It Is
essential that every part of the body,
limbs and twigs of every tree he well
coered with the spray. Some persons
may tire of so much suggestion
about thorough work, but observa
tions are that persons who fall to get
satisfactlry results from spraying are
usually the ones htat were not thor
ough In their work.

promised to be the largest In the
state's history. His democratic op
ponent, Bertrand O. Mclntire, re
ceived approximately half as many

Republicans carried all four con
gressional districts by large majori
ties, re-electing Representatives Wal
lace H. White Jr., John A. Peters
and Ira G. Hersey, and electing Car
roll L. needy, of Portland. In the
first district, - where Representative

manding lead In the state legisla
ture.
Women availed themselves of
their first opportunity to vote in a
state election and the figures showed
that a large majority voted the re
publican ticket. The vote for Park

ROPES ARE ADVISED

That Immediate action should be
taken to remove fire hazards in the
city ot Roaeburg. as a result df the
disastrous and fatal fires that have
recently occured In the state, was
the opinion expressed . by the city
council at a meeting held last night.
Numerous fire hazards, equal. It not
worse than those existing in Klamath
Falls, where many lives wore lost
recently, are to be (found In Kqseburg
according to members ot the council,
who are anxious to see such dangers
removed.
'It is time we were taking some
action to eliminate danger from Are
as much as possible," Mayor Hamil
ton told the council. "Serious tires
have been occurlng all over the state
and a great many Uvea are being lost
and In nearly every case negligence
I has been the cause. In the Klamath
Falls case It has been held that the
council was responsible for the haz
ard that existed at that hotel. We
do not want It said that lives were
lost through our neglect, and there
are some structures In this city that.
I In case they should get afire, many
lives will certainly he lost."

one except the very old and very
young people could escape down a

In all of the recent fires It has

In the Klton Court fire, the hallwnvs
were so filled with smoke that tho
people were unable to locate the
fire escnpeB. In many instances the
fire escnpes have proven fnllures, ai
when they lead ortf a private room
the occitpnnt of the room often locks
the room door upon retiring, and In
event of fire, makes his escape, and
without unlocking the door, and
the other persons are unable to reach
the escape.
'At Klamath Falls they were In

to act upon his report. We have the
report of the fire marshal! pointing
out some of our dangers. If we fail
to act, we will be responsible for tho
lives. If any are lost. I think It Is
time for us to act.
The various fire haxnrds about the
city were pointed out nnd have been
variously discussed Ifor some time
and various plans offered to force a
general "clean up" of rubbish and
accumulations which might lead to a
nerinun conflragation. Particular at

CLAIMS OF OVKERS
Benefit to Property by Open-""'
ing Street More Than
Offsets Damages.
REPORT IS ADOPTED
Council Inatnacia Record to Draw
Warrant for Amouta Desig
nated by Viewers at Proper .
Bum For Property Loss.
Reporting 'on . the damage sus
tained by the property owners In the "
extension of South Stephens street,
the road viewers appointed by the
city claimed thst the benefit would '.' '
be greater than the damage except
in tbe cane ot Lisa J. Livingston, who
was allowed 1203.50. The Cobb Real
Estate Co., which holds -the greater .
part of the property had previously'
put In a claim for a large sum of
money, but the viewers held that
there will be no damage and that the .
benqflt to the property will more than
rlftsot the land used for street pur
poses. The report ot the viewers was
adopted and the recorder was order
ed to draw a warrant for the sum
allowed In the Livingston ease. The
owners have the right to appeal, but
tt is not expected that any court ac
tion will he taken.
The extension of the street lsnec-
essary to connect up with the high
way built up to the city limits soutn
of Roseburg. Over the objection of
he council, the Highway commission
abandoned both the Mill. and Main'.
Htreet entrances and constructed a
main road Into the city through the
Parrott property to connect with the
city limits opposite tbe end of south .
Stephens street. There then remained .
a strip several hundred feet in leng
th between the highway and the city
limits. The city council at first refused
to purchase the right ot way to mage
the.ennnectlon. It held that the cost
ot 'constructing the highway would
have made two good approaches by
the old roates. However, the roan
was built and the council at last .
found that thsaractlon of the highway
commission must be accepted. .
A committee apnolntaar to ft seer- -
tain the cost, report that iha Cobb
Real Estate Company, aemanneo:
$250 for 40 foot lots, the same price)
being asked by the Livingstons, and '
making the total costs about $.1900. .
Because of this cost the committee;
advised that the city proceed toeon
demn the needed land and this ac
tion was taken. Viewers were -ap
pointed and an investigation made
with tho result that they found that
the Increase ' In-value to the Cobb
property by tho eonstructlon of the
street would more than offset the loss
of the amount of land involved. The-
Livingston property Is already on an
opened street, and consequently was',
damaged to some extent, tne amount
being fixed at $202.60.
Aftor tbe time for appeal nas pass
ed the city will be able to proceed '
with the opening of the street. The
City probably will not pave the
stretch between the end of the pres
ent paving nnd the new highway, as
it will be Impossible to obtain tne
consent of the property owners. The
city can at any time initiate paving
proceedings. If. however, two tntrns
rt' the property owners remonstrate
the matter must he iropped for nix
months. As the CobffMteal Estate Co.
owns the necessary two-thirds, tho
ttempt of tho city to pave the rond .
can be blocked. However, the high
way commission can pave the street
at any time but cannot asnens the
costs agnlnst tbe property. As soon
as the title to the property Is clear.
Stephens street will he opened thru
and will be made the Pacific High
way. o
