Deneen Supports Taft
"As Taft is the nominee of the Re
publican party," says Gov. Deneen, "I
will support him." This disposes of
the hope that the third party would
have the great body of the Republic
an leaders in Illinois on its side. "A
full state ticket favorable to Roose
velt must be nominated in Illinois,"
says Senator Dixon, after getting De
neen's decision. This is the ultimat
um of the colonel's national compaign
manager. Most of the Republican
state officers take Deneen's side, and
will cling to the party. This news
will help to brace up Republicans all
over the country.
"I thought so," was all the com
ment which Col. Roosevelt would
make when word reached him that
the governor of Illinois had decided
, to remain in the Republican party.
Deneen's action will have much influ
ence, not only locally, hut nationally,
As a man who has served eight years
as governor, he necessarily has some
prestige. He will undoubtedly sway
many Republicans who were waver-

They cleared the forests in a quick, wasteful way for

They simply LET THE COWS LAY OUT THE PATHS and
hastily made them afterward into streets.
Because- Americans are unwilling to wait for a properly finished
product we have many things manufactured with little reference to
quality. So many are asking HOW CHEAP RATHEK THAN
HOW GOOD, that there is always a market for the inferior goods
sold at bargain prices.

j
ing in their allegiance to the party.
The third party state ticket, no. mat
ter who heads it, can not get many
votes. Every Republican knows that
the contest will be between the Re
publican and the Democratic candi
dates, and that every vote cast for a
third jparty ticket will necessarily
weaken the Republicans. This con
sideration will hold the great bulk of
them in line. Illinois nas usually
been carried by the Republicans in
state elections. In presidential can
vasses it has been Republican for ov
er fifty years, except in 1892. While
Buchanan carried it in 1856, it was
won by Lincoln in 18560, and by every
Republican presidential candidate
since then except T?y Harrison in his
second campaign. It is not likely to
abandon the party in 1912.
Of all the governors who, four or
five months ago, urged Col. Roosevelt
to seek the presidential candidacy,
only two cling to him. These are
Stubbs of Kansas and Johnson of Cal
ifornia. Every day the outlook for
the colonel in the campaign gets dark
er. He can no longer hope to make
a demonstration in the campaig
which will be impressive. When his
convention opens in Chicago on Aug
ust 5 he will hold a far less conspicu
ous position than that which he oc
cupied when the Republican gathering
met there on June 18. At that time
a large number of the Republicans of
the country appeared to be behind
him. As he has withdrawn from the
party he, necessarily, has lost the
greater part of his old support. In
order to make his vote count, the vo
ter must cast it for the Republican
or the Democratic nominee. Voting
in "the air" is foolish business, and
its folly will become more and more
apparent as election day draws near.
The man who will be chosen on No
vember 5 is either Taft or Wilson, and
probably the former.
COUNTY COURT'S GOOD WORK
Another feather in the cap of our
County Court is showing up in the
action it has forced on the part of the
Southern Pacific Company at the rail
road crossing between Oregon City
and Gladstone at or near the hop dry
er. Alive to the needs of the county,
i
j Judge Beatie and the other members
! are continually doing their part of the
I great work laid out for the county's
business managers' attention and it
j should only be a short time before all
j the pressing matter including the oil
j ing of the roads between the same
points have been satisfactorily dis
posed of. While the poor condition of
the crossing was pointed out to the
Court by the Clackamas County Aut
omobile Club, judge Beatie and his
associates like all reasonable business
men are open to suggestion and when
shown were a mountain of strength
in bringing about the desired results.

Governor Marshall and His
Wife Are Constant Companions
Photo by American Press Association.
GOVERNOR MARSHALL of Indiana and his wife are inseparable, and
they don't care who knows it When President Taft invited the gov
ernor, with other state executives, to join him on a trip down the
Mississippi the Hoosier statesman declined to be of the party because,
as he frankly said. In the fourteen years of their married life he and Mrs.
Marshall had never been separated and he did not wish to break the rule of
his household. Mrs. Marshall, who was Miss Lois 1. Kimsey, travels with the
governor on campaigning trips, talking with the voters she meets, but not on
political subjects. She is a college bred woman and may be classed as "strong
minded," but she is at the same time of domestic tastes, and she and her hus
band live quietly, not caring much for "society" and entertaining seldom and
simply. Mrs. Marshall is said to believe that the place in which a woman can
exert the greatest influence is the home circle; which includes her church re
lations (she and the governor are Presbyterians), and that public life should
be reserved for the man. She has never taken part In public functions unless
they were of a religious or sernireligious character.
BIBLE CLASS Qli
The object of the International
Press Bible Question Club is to pro
mote, through the press, thought and
investigation on the teaching of
Scripture in connection with the In
ternational Sunday School Lessons.
To this end some very valuable
prizes are offered on very - simple
terms. These are to be given to the
Morning Enterprise readers in con
nection with the other papers that

Five solid gold medals, five sterling
stiver medals, five teacher's Bibles,
worth $5.50 each, thirty-five copies
of "The Heart of Christianity," price

the best thing written in this century,
on its vital subject. The gold and sil
ver medals are beautifully engraved
with an emblematic design, and the
name of the winner will be engraved
on the reverse side. It will be no
small honor to be a gold or silver
medalist in this great international
organization. Any person who takes

Lesson for Sunday, Aug. 11, 1912.
A Troubled Sea and a Troubled Soul.
Mark iv:35 v:20.
$75,000,000 LAND
SUIT GOES TO TRIAL
SAN FRANCISCO, July 31. The
Government's suit to recover 2,300,000
acres of valuable agricultural and tim
ber lands in Oregon, valued at $75,
000,000, from the Oregon & California
Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the
Southern Pacific Company, was .re
sumed here before Miss M. A. Flem
ing, United States Special Examiner.
William Singer Jr., representing the
company, asked B. D. Townsend, spe
cial assistant to Attorney-General
Wickersham, if it was desirable to ad
mit newspapermen, who, he said, if
they were admitted, "would write
whatever they wanted."
"I think by all means," answered
Mr. Townsend, "that this should be
a public hearing."
B. A. McAllister, land commissioner
of the Oregon & California, the Cen
tral Pacific and the Southern Pacific
and formely for the Union Pacific, tes
tified that he kept full records of land
grants and that there had been no
sales of importance since the present
suit was Drought.
Attorney W. D. Fenton, for the com
pany testified that it was the policy
of the company to induce settlement
by every means possible and that such
would be the policy now if the Gov
ernment had not brought the present
suit.
The Government's suit, which is the
largest land suit ever filed in the
United States courts, was filed in
September, 1908. The complaint
charges that prior to the filing, the
railroad had sold 820,000 acres of land
of which 526,000 acres were sold in
violation of the "terms of the original
grant.
Under the grant, the railroad was
allowed to sell land only to actual
settlers, in lots not exceeding 160 ac
res, each. The Government seeks to
show that 400,000 acres were sold in
parcels exceeding 1000 acres each.
Among the larger alleged sales are
77,000 acres to the Booth-Kelly Lum
ber Company, and 60,000 acres to A.
B. Hammond, of San Francisco, and
his lumber companies, at prices rang
ing from $5 to $40 an acre.
Associated with the railroad attor
neys in the defense is John M. Gearin,
of Portland, formerly United States
Senator, representing the Union
Trust Company.
Jovial on the Scaffold.
Sir Thomas More, who was beheaded
In 1535, was famous for his wit. "He
died," says the chronicler, "with an un
concern that in others would have ap
peared to be levity, but in him was
nature." He jested on the scaffold,
and he had been just as humorous dur
ing his Imprisonment With a pathetic
touch which Is never absent from the
true humorist he closed all his win
dows when they took his books from
aim. "It is time to shut hp shop," he
said, "when the wares are all gone."
