Newspaper Page TextETHEL BARRYMORE ON SOCIETY Ethel Barry mo re Uc of the opln too that the "society element" of New York would never be missed It a plague ibould wipe it out, taya the Oregon iau. She finds the womne of thU exalted circle to be piggishly ogrosued la fleshly delights. How the men occupy tahemselves Miss Barry more doe not say, but we know all about them from other sources perhaps quite as reliable as she Is. Miss Wharton's house of Mirth gives one enticing glimpses of the dally occupations of our male aristocracy. When they are nut engaged In highway robbery, accord ing to her, they divert themselves by drinking, gambling and racing horses. To break the monotony of these pastimes they occasionally trade wives with one another. Two or three other authors have given us pictures lately of the upper section of American society, and their agree ment with each other Is so close that It Is hard to disbelieve them. Of course It Is possible that Phillips, Sin clair, Patterson and the rest have all copied the same misleading report, but it Is not likely. These satirists allege, just as Miss Barrymore does, that the men and women of what Is called high society are Interested lu nothing but more or less vicious self indulgence. Miss Barrym ore's statement that brains are an Incumbrance rather than a help to a person who wishes to shine In society Is probably true. Conversation at gatherings of the rich Is Inane and foolltth. Nothing Is discussed which could possibly In terest a sensible person. No topic Is permitted which could stimulate the faintest ray of Intelligence. Million aire society shuns mental as well as physical exertion. The use of either brain or muscles stamps one as be longing to the vulgar herd. To be thoroughly eligible In this elite sphere one must cultivate a haughty contempt for everything that Is use ful and a disgust for everything that does not gratify some of the senses. There are species of parasitic animals which by disuse have lost all their organs except the mouth and stom ach. Our wealthy social parasites are undergoing a similar process of abortion. With some of them the de generative change has already gone so far that they can no longer repro duce their kind. ' Thus one might continue for hours setting forth the folly, vice and use lessness of our millionaire society, but what good would It do? One might recite the fact that society in England, France, Germany and other countries welcomes authors and art ists, placing genius at least on a level with birth and riches, while ours In Its stupidity admits none but money bags with his wife and children. One might quote from that significant story In the Atlantic Monthly entitled "The Flavor of Afflenceu," where the heroine. Just back from Europe and Its social ways, unwarily addressed a sensible remark to her hostess. The woman, accustomed to nothing but semi-idiocies from her guests, was shocked and annoyed. Miss Barry more Is entirely right In saying that American society Is gross, vicious and stupid, but we repeat, what Is the use of her remark? This extraor dinary group of men and women will never mend their ways, no matter tow severely they are reprimanded and exhorted, but there Is much rea son to believe that the spectacle they present, though extremely disagree able, Is only transient. Evolution Is Intolerant of useless organs In the body and useless groups in society. Our reverence for vested property rights sometimes enables such groups to exist long after the process of natural selection would have eliminated them, but even this gives them nothing more than a re prieve. Their ultimate fate Is certain. We may therefore feel assured that our so-called high society Is on Its way to absolute extinction, unless It ran assume Borne effective part In the work of the world. When the feudal nobility of England lost their function of military leaders and pro tectors of the people, they became hereditary governors. Thus they prolonged their usefulness and ob tained a new lease of life. One muy remark also that the merely wealthy My Hair Ran Away Don't have falling out with your hair. It might leave you! Then w hat? That would mean thin, scraggly, uneven, rough hair. Keen vour hair at home! Fasten it tightly to your scalp 1 1 You can easily do It with Aycr's Hair Vigor.

It seeks pleaaure of course, but there baa been no time when it felt absolv ed from every duty to the public like most American millionaire!. Since our wealthy group aervea no purpose whatever In the social organism It la safe to predict that It will presently be aborted or extinguished. How this will be accomplished no body can say. Evolution depends uin Innumerable factors and their Interaction la ao complex that the de tails can seldom be completely traced after It ia completed, much leas can they be foretold. The socialists will perhaps endeavor to extinguish the useless rich by confiscating their be longings, but it la not likely that so ciety as a whole will admit this meaa use. One can speculate with more confidence that many millionaire famlllea will vanish from the world through their own sterility. Statlstlra show that their offspring la falling oft both In numbera and in vlger while mentally It vergea toward In competence. Frequently men of great wealth recognise that their children lack the mental power to take care of their property and therefore secure It for them in trusts, but this Is a device which American law will not long tolerate any more than British law permitted perpetual trusta In land. Appropriate legisla tion will ultimately force these enor mous fortunes from their lurking places and the feeble-minded des cendants of millionaire fathers will rapidly squander them. Ueprivxed of their wealth and unable to earn a living they will then alnk Into the slums and presently perish. Thus the problem of the useless rich, tbougb annoying, is not really difficult. STRIKES HIM Ill.l.NI). PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 6. Strick en blind by a dose of 21 grains of quinine and a pint of whisky that he had taken to cure a cold, L. C. Black, 38 years old, haa applied to the coun ty hospital for treatment. Black's sight Is practically destroyed, though Assistant County Physician McCor nack says there Is a chance that he may be cured. Black waa a saw miler and a dep uty game warden near Forest Grove. About a month ago he contracted a severe cold and on the recommenda tion ot a friend took a dose of 21 grains of quinine and a pint of whisky. The supposition is that the dose affected the optic nerves and so paralysed them that Black la almost totally blind. IjKKT iivxamitk cap. PHR1LADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 8.

TOTAL VALUE IS E Sour-re of Oregon's U'ealtb. Annual shipments Leading products $ 75.000.000 Manufactures 20,000,000 Miscellaneous products. 5,000,000 Total $100,000,000 Annual consumption Products $ 50,000,000 Manufactures 30,000,000 Total $ 80.000,000 Grand total $180,000,000 Seventy-five million dollars Is a conservative valuation to put on the Oregon products that will be market ed outside of the state during the current shipping season, says the Or egon Ian. In other words, this am ount of capital, and more, will be brought Into Oregon by the sale of raw material produced by Us farms, ranges, forests, rivers and mines. This, too, In a year when the buying capacity of markets In other states and other countries Is adversely af fected by unusual business condi tions. When normal conditions are fully restored elsewhere, the output of Oregon will also have Increased. fn the list given below are enu merated only the leading products that will be shipped out of the state. Aside from lumber, cereal mill prod ucts and a few other articles that might also be classed as manufac tures, the list Is made up entirely of raw materials. Figuring quantities on a carload basis, though s large proportion of the shipments are made by the wa ter route, the output amounts to no less than 101,475 cars. These cars. If in one solid freight train, would extend from Portland to Sacramen to, or. In the other direction, from Portland to a point beyond Shoshone. The leading products of Oregon that are this season bringing wealth Into the state from other sections. the quantities that are being moved and their values are also given. In addition to the leading articles listed, which represent a worth to the state of over $75,000,000, minor products aggregating fully $5,000,- 000 In value will find markets In other communities. The total value of Oregon's manu factures this season Is estimated at $85,000,000, of which about $35,- 000,000 comes under the head of lumber, cereal and creamery output. Of the remainder, $20,000,000 worth will be shipped to outside points to swell the wealth of the state, bring ing the total lucome In this busy shipping season to a round $100,- 000.000. Added to this sum that will be poured Into Oregon the producer will also have the benefit of the home demand for his wares. The home consumption of the natural products can be conservatively placed at $50, 000,000, and of the manufactures at $30,000,000, or a grand total of $180,000,000 for this one state in one year. And this takes no account of the gain by merchandising In the cities and towns, by financial opera tions, by transportation, or of the still more valuable asset of labor. Hl'GHES GIVES REASON'S. ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 6. "Mr. Bryan did the country a great service by being twice defeated, had he been elected twelve years ago he would not be a candidate now, but would have gone down In the disaster of his own fallacies.' In a speech here tonight Governor Hughes, of New York, thus summed up why he was working for the defeat of Bryan. He said he was supporting Taft be cause he was a "cool-headed, warm hearted man of achlevments. MMK. sriUXH'F A BAIjIjOOXIST. PARIS, Oct. 3. Mme Surcour, wife of a well-known engineer, Is an enthusiastic balloonist, and has just accomplished her 18th aerial voyage. When sailing through the air she acts as her own pilot. Lately she left the Tutlleries In stormy weather and brought her balloon down safely at Chateau-Thierry, A woman friend was to accompany her, but at the last moment, In view of the bad weather, she remained behind, and Mme Surcouf was accompanied only by M. Baudry, an experienced aero naut. They had only 130 kilos of ballast. and the covering of the balloon was so drenched with rain that It was with difficulty they arose from the ground. But the sun happened to shine shortty afterwards, and as the envelope became dry the balloon rose until It reached a height of 6000 feet. The air at that altitude was much calmer, and they drifted along for two hours with a magnificent view of the landscape below. On reaching Chateau-Thierry, Mme. Surcouf came down, and land ed In a stubble field with the help of peasants, who caught the guide rope. She returned to Paris by train the same evening. Mme Surcouf says that she much prefers a spherical balloon to a steerable one. Iast year she made a trip In the Villa de Paris, but found It far less agreeable. When sailing In an ordinary balloon, she says, one feels absolute rest; It Is noiseless, and one does not notice the wind. Ia a steerable balloon, on the con trary, all this comfort Is absent ab-f sent. The whole frame vibrates with the motor, which makes a disagree able noise, and when going against the wind the discomfort Increases. The greatest enthusiasm has been aroused In Prance by the formation of the new Aerial League, and sub scriptions are pouring Into bead quarters In the Rue des Mathurins. The efforts which this organisation proposes to make to encourage the science and art of aviation will be materially assisted by the regula tions Issued by M. Leplne, Prefect of Police, with regard to the parade ground at Issy-less-Muullneaux. For the present the ground Is to be open to experimenters and closed to the public. HHOT lKAI IN' yl AltltKL. HAGERSTOWN, Md., Oct. 5. William Reynolds, aged 23, was shot and Instantly killed this evening In the public road near Pondsvllle by his brother-ln-luw, Charles Kline, a young unmarried man about 22 years old. Reynolds, who had been drinking, had driven home from Smlthsburg. When near home his buggy broke down, and while repairing It Kline came along. He had been hunting and carried a gun. He and Reynolds at whose house Kline had been liv ing, had not been on good terras for sometime, and he Is alleged to have upbraided Reynolds for drinking. A quarrel started, and Reynold's wife rushed to the scene. Ktlne Is alleged to have taken de liberate aim and fired, the charge entering Reynold's forehead. He fell on the road and expired. Rey nold's wife was so close that some of the shot eentered her face. When Reynolds fell Kline fled, running through the woods In the foothills of South Mountain. Justice Ferguson, of Smlthburg, went to Pondsvllle and summoned a jury of Inquest, After the Jury ex amined the corpse they adjourned to meet tomorrow In Smlthsburg. Ragan Alslp. son of John Alsfp, was the only witness except Mrs. Rey nolds. He was walking along the road when he heard the report of; the gun and saw Reynolds fall. 1 Sheriff George W. Karnshaw and several deputies are tonight scour-, ing the mountains for Kline. Reynolds was the son of Oscar Reynolds, of Crystal Falls.

Ben jamin F, Bunn, Kelso, Wash., died Instantly as the result of his gun being discharged while he was going through a fence while out hunting near Carlton yesterday. Bunn was accompanied by his 1 2-year-old brother, who makes his home with the Perkins family at Carlton. Bunn had laid his gun on the fence preparatory to going over it, when the weapon fell, discharging ItBelf. The charge passed through the Jug ular vein and carotid artery. Death was almost Instantaneous. Bunn was 18 years old. He leaves a half brother at Tillamook and a sis ter near Sheridan. HKIt FATHER'S i'HAl'FFEl'R ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 5. Miss Sil vey Speer, 18 years old, prettiest and richest heiress In Atlanta, eloped with Russell Thomas, her father's Chauffeur, and was married by the Rev. Dr. Atkinson, in the latter's study, only a few blocks from the Speer home. The marriage took place about 11:30 this morning, and half an hour later the couple were on the Southern limited, bound for Washington. The first the girl's parents knew of the marriage was when a note came from her stating, "I am Russell's wife, and happy." Miss Speer owns several thousand dollars. She Is the only grandchild of the late John Sllvey, who acquired a fortune here and willed It to her. Her paternal grandfather Is an ex treasurer of Georgia. Russell Thomas is 21 years old, and came here a year ago from a country town In Georgia. Some months ago he was employed as chauffeur by the Speers. From the first the girl seemed fond of him, and she told some of her friends that the man who could handle an automobile as Russell Thomas could would make a good husband. THE At'TOMORILK RACE. BRIGHTON BEACH RACE TRACK, Oct. 3. Amid the wildest scenes George Robertson, driving a Simplex car. No. fi, flashed across the finish at 10:30 tonight, the winner of the 24-hour automobile race of the Motor Racing association.

Hardly an hour went by without an accident happen ing. In the last half of the 2id boor Zust car, driven by Gratteneje, dashed through the outer fence and turned turtle. Gratteneje's partner sustained a broken leg and possible Internal Injuries. Gratteneje caped with slight bruises. LIKE LINCOLN ROCK ISLAND, 111., Oct. 3. Jas. S. Sherman, Republican nominee for the vice-presidency, delivered an ad dress here yesterday. Mr. Sherman said In part: . "I shall not abuse my privilege by imposing upon your patience or; claiming your attention for morel than a brief period. I am advised ! that It Is permissible to speak as a partisan. I am told that this Is Re- i publican day, and my theme shall I be something of a comparison of the ' early leader of Republican thought and art inn with ttiA nroiAnt rtlMntnr i of so-called Democratic declarations and professed Intentions. "In so far as he has a party behind him, Mr. Bryan is the candidate of those who maligned and ridiculed ' the first and greatest president the Republican party has given to the nation. Mr. Bryan relies for support on the forces which at every step op posed Lincoln, which obstructed the measures of war and peace of that savior of the union, and pronounced the proclamation of emancipation a monstrous crime. "In his earlier campaigns he count ed most of the states which elected Lincoln 'the country's enemy. He has never accepted the principles and policies which glorified the ad ministration of that martyred pa triot. What ) roofs can he offer that he Is a disciple of the President who struck down slavery, who sig ned the Morrill tariff, who stood steadfastly for protection and made possible the present grandeur of the United Republic? "In 1900 the states which elected Lincoln cast all their Influence against the candidate who now reaches for the strength of that hal lowed name. "Why should any citizen who ad mires Lincoln, believes In his teach ings, wishes his principles and poll- -uetuated, tolerate for a mo ment the preposterous claims of this self-assertive candidate? Could two men be more different . than are, these? "Mr. Lincoln was the champion of unity. He declared the Union could not live half free and half slave. His great achievement was to fuse the warring states Into a nation, one In freedom. His great heart took In all men, all creeds, all races, rich and poor, high and low, In every part of the land. His generous soul had char ity for all, malice for none. Mr. Bryan on the contrary preaches the crusade of dissension; he alms to create divisions where there are none, his appeals are to prejudice and to hate, to envy and malice. Dis content and suspicion are his constant company. Despair seems In his train. The appeal for Bryan In the glamor of Lincoln Is as wicked as it is ab surd. "Mr. Lincoln would accept Presi dent Roosevelt's assurance that when In doubt over serious problems he always asked what Lincoln would do under the circumstances. To that rule the present administration owes much of Its success. That has been the spirit, too. In which Mr. Taft has trained himself to be a most efficient and most successful administrator; trained himself until today he ap proaches the presidency better fitted to meet and discharge Us varied and weighty duties and responsibilities than ever did a candidate before first approach that lofty position." GIRL KILLS HERSELF. DES MOINES, Ia., Oct. 3. Unable to stifle the love she had for Bert Wlllets, an employe on her father's farm, and unwilling to become the wife of a man she believed to be a drunkard, Miss Lucy Handley, living near this city, wrote a pathetic note to her parents and then drank car bolic acid. She was missed three days before her dead body, the empty bottle and a note by her side, were wound In an empty corn crib. It was believed at first she ... eloped as Wlllets dispppeared the day after she did. He was arrested in Des Moines to be held pending In vesication. He contends that he never made any protestations of love to the girl. The tragic death brought to a sud den close a romance the girl was writing, based upon her own life and emotions. Fifty pages of the manu script were found in her bureau drawer. The story was to be entitled "Meadow Brook Mystery." COMMKKMAL CONGRESS SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 5. Thronging corridors of the leading hotels and viewing the massive crea tions of steel and concrete that have replaced the desolate areas of two years ago and participating In the enthusiasm In the conferences pre liminary to the nineteenth trans Mississippi Commercial Congress, nearly one thousand delegates to the five-days session of that organisa tion tonight await the call to order. J. B. Case, Abilene, Kansas, will wield the gavel tomorrow at the opening session' and his introductory address Is expected to sound the key not of a conference where at the western half of the United States, through its commercial and pro motion organisations, will voice not only Its demands upon Congress, but the policy of Its numerous member ship upon the conservation of the natural resources. Irrigation and scientific care and cultivation of the soil; improvement of rivers and har bors; need of a merchant marine and a fleet to make possible its ad vent; trade relations with the Orient and the balance of the Western bem Isppere; and a score or more section al Issues considered of sufficient Im portance to affect the welfare of the West. The congress Is expected to In clude the representatives of eighteen states, four territories and depend ences and six foreign countries. While many districts will be repre sented by the officers of their fore most commercial bodies Utah, Wash ington, Colorado and California will send governors or official repre sentatives and Roosevelt's repre sentative will be William R. Wheeler assistant secretaryof commerce and labor. Tomorrow's session will be con fined to organization and a cruise about San Francisco Bay. ELEVEN KILLED. NEW YORK, Oct. 6. Eleven per sons were killed, more than a dozen Injured, and 30 more escaped death by the narrowest margin. In an In cendiary ftre which wrecked the ten ement house at 7 1 H Mulberry street, yesterday. That a deliberate attempt was made to destroy the house and its occupants as well, the police and fire men do not doubt. Three barrels stuffed with rubbish, soaked with oil, were blazing fiercely In the lower hall, cutting off the escape of the 50 or more persons who were sleep ing on the upper floors. Some of these died In their beds, overcome by smoke and then caught by the flames. Others who had been aroused too late, fell unconscious be fore they could reach a window and were burned to death, scarcely an arm's length from safety. Many were Injured jumping from upper windows to the street or by being crushed as they fought for positions for safety on the choked fire escapes. Several of the injured, who were taken to hospitals, are in a critical condition. That so many persons were killed or seriously Injured was due to the carelessness of the Inmates of the house themselves and their disregard of the rules that the fire escapes must be kept clear of obstructions at all times. When the frightened men and women rushed from their rooms ahead of the flames, they found the platform covered with debris which could not be quickly removed. Mothers and fathers with children In their arms, the smoke pouring out of the windows behind them and the crackling of the flames In their ears became panic-stricken and tossed their children to friends In the street. Fully a dozen children were tossed from the second and third floors and were caught by men standing In the street. The men and women were later carried down by firemen on ladders. HASKELL'S ALLIANCE. WASHINGTON. Oct. . No mat ter what may be said of other corpo rations, It has been demonstrated be yond all question or doubt that the Standard Oil company, the most flagrant violator of state and federal statutes, has supported and Is still supporting William J. Bryan In his fight for the presidency. It had not been the purpose, either of Mr. Bry an or the Standard OH officials, to make public this fact, but through the exposures of William R. Hearst, and the attacks of President Roose velt, the whole scheme has been laid bare. In three Important and doubtful states the Standard Oil company Is very powerful politically In Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia. In each of these states there Is Republican discord, growing out of local Issues, and therefore the Influence of the Standard Oil company becomes of double Importance. That this lnflu ence will be thrown against the Re publican ticket cannot be questioned, and that this Influence will affect thousands of votes Is not to be de nted. Whether the Standard Oil company will be able to swing any of these states remains to be seen, Even had Haskell not been chosen as treasurer of the Democratic na tional committee, the Standard Oil company would have given its sup port to Bryan, for the attitude of the Roosevelt administration and the loyalty of Taft to the Roosevelt pol icies made it Impossible for the Standard Oil company to support the Republican ticket, or even remain neutral. But with their good friend Haskell holding the sack and stand' Ing high with the Democratic lead er, the Standard Oil had every reason to enthuse over Bryan, for In the event of his election It could look to Haskell to call off the administration If Mr. Bryan should undertake to continue the prosecutions begun by President Roosevelt. But the Standard Oil's support of Bryan was not to be entirely finan cial. It was and still Is to use Its In fluence with Us employes In states where It Is strong. In the hope of getting Its vast army of men In line for Bryan. The Standard OH has thousands of employes In Ohio, In diana and West Virginia. The same Is true of Pennsylvania, but Penn sylvania Is so overwhelmingly Re publican that not even the Standard Oil can swing It for Bryan. Now As Good as Can Be Grown Spitserberger, Newton.
