ROOSEVELT'S CHARGE
More direct, penonal and uncom
promising became the attack of Col
Rooecrelt on the admlnlatration and
public utterances of President Taft
when be faced a big audience that
crwoded the big Carnegie Hall In New
York City. The Roosevelt text waa
The Right of the People to Rule."
He began: "The great fundamental
issue now before ua can be stat
ed briefly. It la. Are the American
people fit to govern themselves, to
control themselves! I bellev they
are. My opponenta do not" He went
on to say he had acant patience with
thla talk about the tyranny of the ma
jority, referring to a recent Taft
speech. Roosovelt thought we are
suffering from the tyranny of the mi
norities, such aa are grabbing our coal
deposit, water powers and harbor
fronts, fattening on adulterated foods
and other monopolies, and which to
day la using the convention sytem
to defeat the will of the people In the
choice of delegates to the Chicago
convention. At length Roosevelt ex
plained the various direct legialatlon
reforms, Including the recall of court
decisions by popular vote, but only In
certain constitutional state matters
and after due time for consideration
Quoting the criticism of President
Taft that this recall Idea waa with
out merit and would sow the seeds of
confusion and tyranny, the colonel
said it was leas a criticism of his
proposal than of all popular govern
ment He argued that the people
must know better than the court what
their own morally and heir own opin
ion is.
The colonel said Taft had defined
the issue when he said our govern
ment Is and should be a government
of all the people by a representative
part of the people, which. Roosevelt
thought a fair description of an oli
garchy. Defender of that view re
garded the constitution as a sort of
strait jacket with which to control an
unruly patient But Roosevelt thought
It an Instrument to secure Justice. He
said Tatt's position was that we have
here a special class of persons wiser
than the people and out of their
reach, but who govern the people and
protect various classes from the whole
people. The", effect of this doctrine
was to make the courts the shield of
privilege. This he said had been ap
plied in recent years and with such
bad result that the only remedy now
is to restore the power to govern to
the people. As for the proposed re
call he would have sufficient time al
lowed for the people to decide if they
wanted that remedy and if it should
not be the one he asked the critics to
offer a better and not rail at majority
government. He thought it absurd to
say that a recall scheme providing
two years for the consideration of the
people Is "the fitful impulse of a tem
porary majority."
Finaly Colonel Roosevelt said that
he would prefer to work with the mo
derate, rational conservatives, but
when they halted and turned back he
bad to part company with them, and
he said: "We, the people, can not turn
back." He said the task of the Amer
ican people was to "strive for social
and Industrial justice, achieved
through the genuine rule of the peo
ple." In order to succeed, they must
have leaders "of Inspired idealism,"
to whom are granted great visions
"who can kindle the people with the
fire from their own burning souls."
But the leader ia only the Instrument
to be used until broken, and then to
be cast aside.

AN OLD SAILOR'S VIEW
Admiral Dewey, the moat of whose
Ufa hu been spent at sea, and tor
many year with th responsibilities
of command, saya in speaking of the
Titanic catastrophe, and of trans-At-Untic
service: "I think every pas
senger who crosses th North Atlantic
Ocean takes his life In his hands ev
rr time. For myself. I would rather
go round th world In a well-equipped
man-of-war than make a trip across
the North Atlantic In a tran-AUaaUc
vessel." The admiral describe some
of his cwn experiences as a ship's
captain among Iceberg, and declares
that every passenger vessel should
carry a full supply of Ufe-avtng ap
pliances But the admiral leave something
unsaid when he remarks that "the
greed tor money making ia so great
that human Uvea are never taken Into
consideration." The point he omits is
the public demand for the quickest
voyages in the biggest ships along the
shortest possible route regardless of
the haxards, A desire to make money
ia common to all forms of commercial
activity. The business of transporta
tion needs intelligent regulation by
law In Ita various branches. It la en
titled to reasonable profits, and la no
more subject to greed than other sorts
of nubile service. All kinds are right
ly held subject to careful legislative
supervision.
Passengers flock to the biggest and
fastest ships. The stanehest of
small size would have had no chance
to compete with the Titanic on her
maiden run. or on subsequent pas
sages if she had made a brilliant first
passage instead of meeting with an
awful end. It doe not follow that
ships 1000 feet long, or that are swift
est can not be safe. But where the
highest speed, the greatest size, and
marvels of luxury attract passengers
willing to spend large sums for pas
sage, and who will not consider a
smaller ship, no matter what her sea
going merits, it is unfair to say that
the whole blame for the risk of the
situation is to be laid upon steamship
companies. They have been giving
the nubiic what the public most d
manded. The lessons of the calam
ity are not for ship builders and own
ers alone.
President Madero's hands are filled
to the point of overflowing, but he
will probably find time to head the
request from the republc on the north
that some attention be paid to the
protection of American ciizens aha
American property .

In making the fair such a success.
Professor J. K. Ressler, who Is at
the head of th educational depart
ment of th Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, apok briefly following Mr. Al
derman's address, explaining th
course of the agricultural college for
the girls. He told how th girls at
that Institution had prepared meals
In honor of Ex-Oovernor Folk of Mis
souri, and Oovernor West of Oregon,
and other dignltariea. at the small
cost of 17 centa per plate. In pre
paring this meal It proved that the
Agricultural College not only teaches
economy, but labor aavln g aa well,
and th majority of the young women
after leaving college would become ex
cellent housewives. He also spok
briefly on poultry raising, ai.J explain
ed that th Oregon Agricultural Col
lege waa always ready to receive In
qulriea In regard to poultry raising,
stock raising and agriculture.
In regard to poultry raising. Mr. Al
derman aald that if each child In
Clackaniaa County would rats ten
chlckena, the proflta from this alone,
would support the entlr school sys
tem of Clackamas County. A deuioa
stratlon waa held In New York last
year, where a thirteen year old girl
who was not strong, took charge of
1000 chickens, went to school, kept
up her studies, and became strong,
and healthy. This proves that poult
ry raising can be carried on by chil
dren aa well as elders.
County Superintendent Cary In an
address complimented the children of
Sandy district for their excellent
showing, and also the parents, who
gave their hearty support of this
movement and said that if Sandy

babies were entered in the baby show
and judged by Dr. Cuy Mount The

SINGLE TAX HAN

F. E. COULTER IS PUT TO ROUT

PLAN
SHIELDS MAKES GOOD ARGUMENT
'Graduated Single Tax Is But Blnyla
Tax," Declares 8paWr
Authorities Given To
Prow 8tatmnt
grants PASS. Or.. Aug. !8, (Spe
cial.) Following the trip of Chas. It.
Shields, Secretary of the uregon n.uui
Taxation League, to Southern Oregon,
and the manner In which he routed
F. E. Coultor, Single Tax apeaker on
more than one occasion, Mr. Coulter
haa no absolutely declined to debat
nruu the Single Tax Issue with K. B.
lllanchard. candidate for th Stat
legislature.
Before he will consent to speak on
th same platform with Mr. lllanchard
Mr. Coulter demands that Mr. lllan
chard confine himself entirely to Grad
uated Single Tax aloue.
He further requires that Mr. Blan
chard. Mi. Coulter challenged them
Tax In the bill. Previous to th trip
of Mr. Shields and the joint speeches
made by Mr. Shields and Mr. Plan
chard. Mr. Coulter challeueged them
both to debate. On one occasion he
described Mr. Shields as a reprobate,
entirely; losing his temper and also
the sympathy of the audience.
In discussing this subject Mr. Blan
chard said In a recent Interview:
"In the Portland Journal, th lead
ing Single Tax paper of Oregon, there
appeared a recent telegraphic dispatch
from tandnn to th effect that Joseph
Pels had expended $150,000 In three
minor elections In England to favor
Single Tax candidate Mr. Fela him
aelf declared he is backing a Single
Tax campaign In Oregon. Mr. W .8.
U'Ken In a letter to the Oregonian
declared that the Graduated Tax meas
ure Is an 'honest flat-footed Single Tax
measure.'
"So. when Mr. Coulter wants m to
admit that Graduated Single Tax Is
not Single Tax. I am also inclined to
have considerable doubt regarding his
sanity.
"Graduated Single Tax Is but Sin
gle Tax In a form that will appeal to
the emotions. It Is Single Tax pur
and simple, and I give my authority
above. It will cause land confiscation
becauao the values given In tbe moa
ure are dependent upon present taxa
tion, and If the large landowners are
forced to sell Instantly, as the Grad
uated Single Taxer claim, there will
be only but a number of small hold
ing to place the small taxation on and
as this will be Impossible to provld
thei state and th county with the
amount of taxation required, the taxes
must accordlnttly quickly mount until
they become almost prohibitive on the
small tract
"Under Graduated Single Tax w
should exempt all other forms of per
sonal property, so we have nothing
left bnt the land. Consequently It Is
not difficult for any one to see that
Mr. Coulter Is simply suffering from
a case of 'cold feet' when he declines
to debate unless I admit that Graduat
ed Single Tax Is not Single Tax. He
want me to concede that there Is no
Single Tax in the bill. Then why on
earth was it called Graduated Single
Tax?"
BY EUGENE DEBS
TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Aug. 26.
Eugene V. Debs was notified here to
day of his nomination for the presi
dency by the Socialist party .
In his speech of acceptance, Debs
said:
"The Socialist party was quickened
into life in the bitter struggle of the
world's enslaved workers. It expresses
their collective determination to break
their fetters and emancipate themsel
ves and the race. Ia it strange that
the workers are loyal to such a party;
that they proudly stand beneath Its
blazing banners and fearlessly pro
claim its conquering principles?
"We do not plead for votes; the
workers give them freely the hour
they understand. But we need to de
stroy the prejudice that still exists
and dispel tbe darkness that still pre
vails in the working class world, we
need the clear light of sound educa
tion and the conquering power of eco
nomic and political organization.
"liefore the unified hosts of labor
all the despotic governments on earth
are powerless and all resistance vain.
Before their onward march all ruling
classes disappear and all slavery van
ishes forever.
"Capitalism is rushing blindly to Its
Impending doom. All the signs par-
tend the inevitable breakdown ol tn
existing order. Deep-seated discon
tent has seized upon tbe masses. They
must Indeed be deaf who do not hear
the mutterings of the approaching
storm.
"Poverty, high prices, nnempWy
ment child slavery, widespread mis
ery and haggard want In a land burst
ing with its abundance; prostitution
snd Insanity, suicide and crime
these In solemn numbers tell the trag
ic story of capitalism's saturnalia of
blood and tears and shame as Its end
draws rear."

man In the country wno does not
know that the trusts financed nis cam
