THE, FORUM
Mr. Marker Answered.
La Grande, Aug. 26. (To the Edi
tor) My attention was called to an
article in the Evening Observer, Aug.
17, written by Mr. Andrew R. Marker
setting forth some reasons why the
orphans of the Progressive party
should vote for Mr. Wilson. I am
trying to view the situation unDiasea
and in the attitude of one sitting on
the fence caring little which side I
get off on, if either. I feel that on
some questions Mr. Hughes has failed
to make himself distinctly clear, and
have felt to criticise the evasion if
such it be; however it is too early in
the game to judge correctly the atti
tudo of the man. I feel that 'he
possesses a great deal more diplo
macy and comprehends the needs of
a strict and impartial policy with a
moro intelligent conception than Mr.
Wilson judging by the record which
we have (before us. I am loath to crit
icise Mr. Hughes at this time upon
the things he has said; it is evident
to my mind that when there is ample
time for the Democrats to marshal
their forces and get down to business
they will draw from him an expres
sion upon many vital subjects which
he has not yet felt constrained to
mention.
I can see no reason for Mr. Hughes
making 'himself a target for the
more intelligent class of American cit
izens by resorting to the very un
American attitude of assailing some
of her foreign-born population who
views things differently. He has no
rebuke coming and I think Mr. Mark
er might look for other expressions
than that of antagonizing "hyphen
ates." When I say more intelligent
class of American citizens I call to
mind the men and women who realize
the good citizens the majority of the
foreign emigrants have made.
I call your attention to this state
ment, that "the policy of Mr. Wilson
has been the most constructive and
progressive program enacted since the
Civil War." We will not examine a
few of the things that lhave transpired
since the present incumbent took his
office in the White House. As a Pro
gressive I will use the record of the
present administration to justify my
self and others in refraining from the
mistaken habit of being a party to or
of approving in any way of certain in
jurious policies which have been en
acted. The past four years record
has left us a safe criteron by which
to judge the future should the coun
try bo so unfortunate as to elect him
flp-nin. Man., t.hinirs nf amnll imnnrt.
I have been accomplished which I ad
mire, but the least said about inefflc-
ency will be better for all concerned.
There are a few hard facts that
must be explained before I don the
uniform of a Democrat. How are we
to raise money to pay the expense of
the government with our present sys
tem? The present administration has
failed to raise means to pay ex
penses by $205,000,000. Democrats
assert $130,000,000 must be added
making a total $335,000,000. The
finance committee estimates a short
age for the fiscal year of $364,324,
000. Our appropriations for the com
ing year will reach $1,700,000,000,
suppose our watchful waiting policy
continues on the border. We will
have to sell some bonds and increase
our appropriations. Something is
wrong some one is a poor financier;
and I for one can't have the hardihood
to ask any progressive to vote to as
sist the progress of our already bur
densome expenses.
If the European war had not come
to the rescue it is evident there would
have been one of the worst panics this
country ever passed through; the fol
lowing statistics will bear me out in
my conception of this theory: The
Underwood tariff bill is ruinous to
American enterprizes, for instance;
the first six months of the present ad
ministration there were laid off by the
railroads alone 250,000 employes;
steel industries decreased their out
put 25 to 50 per cent. Bank clearings
fell off 10 per cent. In May, 1914,
Great Britamn shipped to the U. S.
548,000 yards of woolen goods against
109,000 in May, 1913, an increase un
der the new tariff law of 439,000.
These 439,000 yards were manufac
tured in Great Britain in British mills
with British labor. American mills
and labor wero idle to that extent
while American gold was sent out of
the country to pay for same. For the
same period shipment of worsted
piece goods amounted to 1,933,000
compared with only 675,000 yards in
1913. Imports of worsted goods in
May 1914 were 283,000 compared with
only 5,200 lbs., in 1913; 4,162,000
yards of cotton goods were purchased
from British mills in May 1914
against only 2,146,000 in May 1913.
There can be no hasty desire on the
part of a progressive to make a blun
der which might make the conditions
after the war more intolerable than
they were just before. Jf our man
ufacturers are unable to sell their
goods, naturally our laborers are
idle. This tariff of the present is
beneficial to others than Americans.
It narrows the home market without
widening the foreign, therefore a loss
to American enterprise and labor.
It is to me impossible for Ameri
cans to prosper and safeguard their
own interest with a tariff for revenue
only. Regarding the Mexican policy
of the present administration I gee a
weak and undefined attitude which
has to my mind been detrimental to
us in our relations with the sister re
public also throwing us in a position
wherein we are viewed with suspicion
by others farther South. If, as should
have been the case, a definite stand
had been taken rather than one of
threats and unfilled promises, condi
tions no doubt would have been better
surely no one can think for a mo
ment that our attitude has been pro
gressive in this case. It doesn't savor
ui uiucn progress w nave our soldiers 1
die for an empty threat they didn't
get the flag saluted. The cost in
money has been large. Is it a Btep in ,
the Bealo of progress to spend without
results? Is it a progressive wide
awake stroke of efficiency to permit
our munition makers to sell and sup
ply our enemies with bullets to de
stroy our soldiers?
lis it a progressive administration
that will call out our state militia
without amply providing for their
families, leaving a situation such that
a resort to donational tactics of alms
and charity to protect them from
want?
Was it a stroke of progressive leg
islation to violate platform pledges;
of Panama canal tolls, of the protec
tion of American rights and citizens
wherever they might be? To prom
ise a decrease in the cost of living and
have us realize at present that it cost
more to live in America under pres
ent conditions than it has in 37 years.
Is it wisdom to vote for a policy
which through want of ability to see
the future would cut off our revenue
to such extent that we are paying a
war tax of $105,000,000? Why offer
to pay Columbia $25,000,000 for
something that already belongs to us?
Is it for the best good of the coun
try to permit Great Britain to wilfully
hold up our neutral commerce upon
the high seas, and further permit her
to sell it to the same neutral port at
a 100 per cent profit? Are we just
to Americans and their interest when
we permit their mail to be robbed,
their trade secrets stolen ana numbers
of them blacklisted ? Oh, that we had
a Washington, a Jefferson or an An
drew Jackson that we might ascertain
whether we are a free people an in
dependent nation : Why take from
our foreign offices men of experience
and fill them with deserving Demo
crats? Why be "too proud to fight"
especially when our honor is at
stake? Why mix in the Mexican af
fair at all? Why supply or permit
a supply of ammunition to go to peo
ple who at any moment is liable to use
it against us? These questions must
be answered before a progressive can
really decide. I don't say that they
can't be answered but I feel that the
Democrats owe it to us to make them
selves and their policies plain.
Also the Republicans owe us an ex
planation upon some vital and im
portant issues. I appreciate the fact
that Mr. Marker wrote his letter and
that I have the opportunity of ex
pressing my views through the col
umns of the home paper.
I wish to say in conclusion that I
am not antagonistic to the name Dem
ocrat and intend to vote for some of
our county candidates in the coming
election who to my mind are more
competent than their opponents.

MAINE CAMPAIGN IS ON
Speechmaking for September Election
Opens This Week
Portland, Me., Aug. 13. This week
will see the opening of the speech
making campaign among Maine voters
for the State election on Sept. 11.
Charles E. 'Hughes and possibly
President Wilson are expected to
speak. Democrats and Republicans
of prominence from all over the coun
try will take part. Former President
Roosevelt will deliver at least one ad
dress for Mr. Hughes.
The Progressive Party will have no
candidates, and leaders on both sides
profess confidence that they will ob
tain the bulk of that vote.
All forecasts agree that the vote
this year will be the largest ever cast,
as, in addition to the State officers
and Congressmen, two United States
Senators are to be chosen by direct
vote. .
TEACH GIRLS TO BE MOTHERS
Mrs. Palmer Leaves Big Fortune To
Found School
Detroit Aug. 10. Establishment of
a school for teaching girls the duties
of motherhood is provided for in the
will of Mrs. Lizzie Merrill ' Palmer,
which was filed for probate today.
Mrs. Palmer was the widow of former
United States Senator Thomas W. Pal
mer.
The exact amount is not designated,
(but Probate Court officials say the es
tate amounts to more than $1,000,000.
The residue is left for that purpose
after paying ten specific legacies
amounting to $135,000. The will pro
vides that girls at the school shall be
educated free of charge.
"I hold profoundly' says the will,
'the conviction that welfare of any
comunity is divinely and hence insep
arably dependent , upon the qualities
of its motherhood and the spirit and
character of its homes."
The school is to be established here
or in the Township of Greenfield, a
suburb. Girls of ten years and upward
will be admitted.
Thinks Democrats Will Hold Senate
Chicago, Aug. 21. In a statement
issued from the Western headquarters
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, Senator Willard Saulsbury says
the Democrats will not only re
tain their present majority in the Sen
nte but may gain at least four sents.
His statement says:
"Thirty-four United States Senators
are to be elected. Eighteen vactincics
occur in Democratic seats and sixteen
in Republican seats. No intellig?nt
observer would claim that a Repub
lican landslide would cnuse the Demo
crats to lose more than ten of the
Senatorial elections in the states now
represented by Democrats.
"Should they lose ten, there are just
about ten Republicans seats out of the
sixteen which the Democrats hr.vc
reasonable hope of winning. My be
lief is that the Democrats in the next
House will number from sixty to six
ty four, that is, our mnioritv will be
increased from four to eight."
Senator Saulsbury Bays the Demo
crats have an excellent chance of
electing their candidates to the Sen
ate in New Mexico. Wyoming, North
Dakota, Utah, Washington and California.
