Children In the flret grade should be

be made.

Chicago, Oct. 17. Campaign activities should not
cease because of Colonel Roosevelt's attempted as
sassination so far as lie is concerned.
Th? following statement was issued by Colonel
Roosevelt today at Mercy hospital in answer to what
Mr. Urvan said vesterdav in his speech at Franklin,
Ind.:
"I wish to express my cordial agreement with the
manly and proper statement of Mr. Bryan at Frank
lin, Ind., when in arguing for a continuance of the
discussion of the issues at stake in the ocntest he said
" "The issues of this campaign should not be de
termined by the act of an assassin. Neither Colonel
Roosevelt nor his friends could ask that the discus
sion be turned away from the principles that are in
volved. If he is elected president it should be be
cause of what he has done in the past and what he
proposes to do hereafter."
Roosevelt Demands Discussion.
"I wish to point out, however, that neither I nor
my friends have asked that the discussion be turned
away from the principles that are involved. On the
contrary, we emphatically demand' that the discus
sion be carried on precisely aa if I had not been shot
"I shall be sorry if Mr. "Wilson does not keep on
the,stump and, I feel that he owes it to himself and
the American people to continue on the stump."
This advertising is perpared and paid for by the
Progressive Central committee of Union County,
Oregon.
Where the
home already has fallen apart through
dLssentton in the family, they say that
no home, but only the mockery of a
home, is dissolved when the court
signs the divorce decree.
To these opinions those holding the
stricter views retort that the welfare
of the children must be considered. A
united family, they aver, la neopsscuiy
to their proper upbringing. The lib
erals answer this by asserting that It
Is immeasurably better for a child to
be under the solo guidance of either, of
the parents, provided he or she is tnnr
al, than to Bpend 1U life in an atmos
phere that alternates between coldness
and strife.
th-cre are several others. It Is not ne
cessary to recapitulate them. The on

and probably In the end a more feas

: which is conceded to be so desirable.
That Is for as many of the states as
favor It to adopt the uniform divorce
law which has been drafted for just
thhj purpose and which is already In
fovcjo 'n several commonwealths.

North Carolina, Virginia. Maryland,
Pennsylvania. .Rhode Island and
Maine.
Kentucky already has felt the en
tering wedge and before the presi
dential election in 1916 It la very lik
ly that half a dozen or more state,
will have adopted women suffrage, in
addition to the six now on the roll. In
I the election two weeks from today the
I voters of Oregon, Kansas, Michigan,
I Wisconsin, and Arizona will vote on
the adoption of constitutional amend
ments granting the full rights of suf
rage to women. The equal suffrage
leaders are confident that oue of these
five states some are bound to slip
through In spite of all the opponents
can do, and a good many thousand
voters of the weaker sex will be add
ed to the present million and a quart
er after November 5.
So far the enial stiffnga cause hus
scored its greatest victories in the far
West. No state In the east or south
has yet granted to women the full suf
frage rights. In Ohio, where a vote
on the matter was taken this summer,
the cause was defeated. It Is be
lieved, and not without reason, that
the result In the Buckeye state will in

Why Salves Can't Cure Eczema
Since the old-fashioned theory of cur
ing eczema throiiKh the blood haa btcn
luven up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for akin diseases.
But it has been found that these Halves
only clou the pores and cannot penetrate
to the Inner skin below the epidermis
where the eczema Kerms are lodged.
This the quality of penetrating
