MARION, Oct. 1 Lack ot en
forcement of the prohibition laws
was condemned "without qualifica

porch speech to gathering of wo
men. He proposed the establishment
of a "department of public welfare"
adding that In his opinion law en
forcement was one ol the Important
requisites of serial progress. "The
enforcement of the law must be un
dertaken by an executive without a
regard of his personal disapproval
of the law," he said. He declared for
the protection of motherhood, a liv

George Elmore., 20-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. 1). W. Elmore, who re
side near Oakland, was fatuity in
jured Wednesday afternoon when ft
horse which he was riding fell in
some manner, driving the pommel of
the saddle through the boy's breast.
Death came lale yesterday afiernoon.
The lad was not an experienced
horseman, and the animal in ques
tion was recently purchased In Rose
burg. It had been ridden by them
before and showed Itself to be rather
wild, although no trouble was an
ticipated. There were no witnesses
to the accident, but it Is supposed
that the horse reared back sudden
ly, unseating the hoy, and then fall
ing on him in such a way ns to force
the saddle pommel through his
breast. He was found within a few-
minutes but in a very serious condi
tion.
The Elmores are well known in
this city, having resided here for
about a year before their removal to
Oakland. A few weeks ago they pur
chased the Dr. Little ranch four
miles from Oakland and intended to
make their permanent home there.
They originally resided in Colorado.
While living in Roseburg Ihey had
an apartment In the Warnork build
ing, and the hoy was employed by
the Pago Lumber company to driv
their delivery wagon. They speak
very highly of his Industry and
faithfulness, and stated that they
would have been more than glad to
have kept htm in their employ. Mr.
Elmore was employed at the Py-
singer mill. Both Mr. and Mrs. El
more are elderly and their sole sup
port was the son who was kill-d
They feel very keenly the loss of
their son and have the sympathy of
all who knew them in their bereave
ment.
George Elmore was in the army
during the recent war and fought
overseas with a company of engi
neers. He wan In several large, bat
tles but was not Injured In any way.
The funeral arrangementss have
not been completed as yet but will
probably be held at Oakland on Sun
day. The body Is being taken care
of by the Oakland undertaker.

The harm done this state by In

his return to Portlnnd this week
from an eastern trip. Mr. Freeman la

Yes. there you are. The above Is
not an Isolated case. It la the ordi
nary thing we run Into when we try
to sell Oregon securities outside of

Is, of course, a new angle, that's all,"
snld Mr. Freeman. "What are people
thinking of? Do they think the banks

their time deposits when the bankers
