THE HIGH PARTY LEVEL MAIN TAINED Sound principles and manly fidelity to them are the best things connect ed with a political party. It would be better to go to temporary defeat than to surrender right purposes and ideals. Such a defeat would be cer tain to be temporary only. In open ing his speech of acceptance Presi dent Taft congratulated the party on having wisely and courageously met a crisis in its life. He referred to its whole attitude in the Chicago conven tion, not specially to his own nomin ation. He makes no claim to be in dispensable. The critical strain was on the party itself, and President Taft describes it in these words: "A faction sought to force the party to violate a valuable and time-honored national tradition by entrusting the power of the presidency for more than two terms to one man, and that man one whose recently avowed political views would have committed the par ty to radical proposals involving dan gerous changes in our present consti . tutional form of representative gov ernment and our independent judici ary." The party was true to itself in meeting the crisis, which the presi dent holds to he the main considera tion. In any case the party is pre- Trusts' Growth Has Added to Wealth of Country By TALCOTT WILLIAMS, Dean of School of Journalism Columbia University S economic initiative decreasing in the United States through the 1 creation of great combinations and great corporations ? One test must be the number of separate firms doing business in , " the United States. The general organization of trusts and railroad combinations on a modern scale began in the eighties. Since then the number of firms in the country has grown from a million to a million and a half. Plainly, taking the growth of the number of firms, the OPPOR TUNITIES OF INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE HAVE IN CREASED and not diminished. K K ECONOMIC QUALITY REQUIRES FAIR, EQUAL AND INCREAS ING OPPORTUNITY FOR ECONOMIC INVESTMENT. THE WEALTH OF THE COUNTRY HAS DOUBLED SINCE THE .1EIGN OF THE GREAT CORPORATIONS BEGAN. served for future usefulness. A ne'.v party has been formed to exploit the third term candidate. Twice the Republican party in na tional convention lias rejected the idea. In the first attempt a great man failed to get the party approval. He was not a clamorous candidate, nor a personal participant in the movement. No radical program was put forward by him or in his name. He manfully accepted the conven tion's decision and helped elect the nominee. But after going into the convention and losing, the third term candidate of today, who is not a great man in the opinion of a majority of the American people, has bolted the party of which he recently asked the highest honor. The thTrcl term pre tensions will now be tried at the bal: lot box, but not backed by the Re publican party, which will proceed unimpaired on its high mission in its own way. A great party victory has therefore been won already. The Re publican party - proved again at Chi cago that it is true to the best inter pretation of political duty, responsi bility and sound progress. Novem ber can be trusted for an intelligent judgment of these fundamental facts. TEMPORARY STREETS The Enterprise hoped that the in itiative taken by the property own ers of North Main street in demand ing hard surface pavement would be the signal for the property owners of Seventh street to emulate the exam ple of the down-town citizens. But apparently this hope was a vain one. Many leading property owners of Seventh street have petitioned the city council to macamadmize this thoroughfare and at the expense of the entire city, and these owners of property have remonstrated against a lasting pavement that would have a decent wearing surface and would not put the city to the useless ex panse of annual repairs. . Unless the Enterprise is mistaken the result will he that Seventh street will get a new macadam street, but at the expense of the property owners for we do not believe the street com mittee or the council will agree to saddle the entire city with the cost of the improvement, in view of the fact that City Attorney Story holds that the property owners are liable for not more than 50 per cent of the value of the property, treating each lot as a unit in assessing the cost. It is painfully evident that the re monstrating property owners are not looking at this situation far-sightedly. Twenty-one years ago Seventh street was improved with macadam, and since that improvement was made Oregon City has expended thousands of dollars to keep the street in re pair. In recent years the street has had the appearance of a country road and not the best of country roads either. The owners of property on this street have had to pay their share of the repair cost, and if the street is macadamized again, in com pliance with the wishes of the prop erty owners, they will continue to stand for a percentage of the repair bills. Taking the figures of the remon strators themselves, who say the cost of hard surface to each lot will be $227, for argumentivfe purposes, we see nothing exorbitant about the sum. The Bancroft-bonding act permits property owners to pay for municipal " MORNING. ENTERPRISE" FRIDAY, AUGUST Lesson No. (vvUEN X PITCH TH& II bau-Voo Bunt AMD BEAT NT TO Fi?5T FORClNCrME.

It is high time that Oregon City took its place along with the other towns of the Willamette Valley and de manded hard surface in every section. It is an almost invariable sequence i that hard surface pavement carries with it increasing property values that equalize the cost of the improve ment. The whole matter has been re ferred to the street committee to re port to the council at a special meet ing this week. It may be that the committee will not take the bull by the horns and recommend durable pavement, in the face of the petition of the property owners.. However, the day will come in Oregon City when public pride and a growing sent iment will influence the city council to put a veto on macadam streets where the importance of the street to be improved is sufficient reason for a refusal to agree to an improve ment that is at best, a temporary make-shift. Dr. Withycombe has got out a very interesting as well as instructive booklet explaining the various depart ments and workings of the Oregon Agricultural1 College. This publica tion is in a class of its own as is the college itself, and any reasonable minded person would, after thor oughly understanding the great work this college is doing, do everything within his power to the end that noth ing be put in the way of advance ment. FORUM OfTHE PEOPLE MAYOR IS COMMENDED Morning Enterprise, To the Editor: I wish to commend the mayor upon his effort to enforce the Curfew Ordinance, and hope that all parents will assist the officers by keeeping their children at home aft er curfew hours. It is a difficult task for our police officers to do their own work, and to manage the role that should be played by the parents as well. Last Saturday I saw both boys and girls on Main street at midnight. One saloon closed at twelve. Its pat rons crossed the street and lined up at the bar of another that was open, to my knowledge, at ten minutes past twelve how much later I do not know. Passing down the street to day my attention was called to a pool room in which the windows were most effectually screened by tobacco boxes and signs. Some of our saloons are so obscured by containing cigar and boot-blacking stands that the law is rendered a dead letter. These are things which any citizen, who takes the trouble to notice, can see, things of which, our police should take cognizance, and which our city fathers ought to bear in mind when the men running those establish ments apply again for license. If a law is just, enforce it. If it is wrong, repeal it. But do not ignore it, for in so doing you encourage lawless ness, one of the curses of the period I should like also to suggest that the curfew age be made eighteen and not sixteen. The girls doing the most to lead young men into trouble in Oregon City are between fifteen and eighteen. An immoral girl between fifteen and eighteen is far more lia ble to land the foolish and fast young man within the clutches of the law than one younger. Then the girls need protection against their own fol ly it is usually nothing more than folly at first, and both for their sakes and for those of the boys, all youtn under eighteen should be off the streets at nine o'clock. A curew ordinance that cuts out a few small kids - u permits the host of adoles cents at the most critical period of tnelr lives to run at large fails utter ly in its purpose. Again I wish to laud our mayor and city officers for their work, and I nope tney will have the support of all good citizens. Sincerely yours, W. T. MILLIKEN. "DAM TARIFF" IS SEAGIRT, N. J., Aug. 8. Governor Wilson was plainly ill at ease at the Deginning ot his speech accepting the Democratic nomination yesterday. "This might be more interesting," he said, "if I did not have to read it." As it was, the Governor interlopat ed an epigram here and there which drew laughter and applause. "The tariff was once a bulwark; now it is a dam," the Governor said, but catching the puzzled look of his audidtors, he added with a laugh: "You can spell it either way." Governor Wilson left for New York today to have. his portrait drawn. From the picture will be produced campaign photographs. 15. Being the Art fTHATvS THE SYSTEM M'CREDIE LETS STAR PLAYERS GET AWAY ' Twice in the1 last few months has Manager McCredie's opinions of ball players counted for little by well known and expert scouts from the east. Eddie Mensor, discarded by Mc Credie as not having enough class to belong to the Beavers aggregation was turned over to the Colts. Eddie kicked up so much dust in his star playing with the Northwest ern aggregation that he attracted the attention of eastern scouts. His pur chase occurred a few weeks ago the price being somewhere in the vicinity of $3000. Sold to the Pittsburg Nationals, Mensor made good at once and today is attracting as much attention in the biggest league as any other palyer. Hardly a game is played but what Ed die doesn't pull off some brilliant play. He is hitting hard and running the bases like a fiend. McCredie's second miss came in Joe Mathes, outfielder, who was dis carded by McCredie, turned over to Nick Williams and then let go by the blonde leader. Mathes went to Butte.Montana, where he played crack ball and has just been purchased by Dick Kinsella, official scout for the St. Louis Cardinals. Kinsella arrived in Portland Wednesday with news of the purchase. The former Three I League team owner will remain in Portland for a few days, looking for more McCredie discards and then will leave for the east. Kinsella is in search of a good right hitting outfielder. 100 BEING KILLED BOCHUM, Germany, Aug. 8. A mining disaster which imperiled the lives of 650 pit men occurred in the Lorraine pit near Gerthe today. Many of the men "were rescued, but it is feared more than 100 have been kill ed. Twenty-five bodies have been re covered, but the rescue parties were unable to enter the gallery in which the fire damp explosion occurred, where it is believed from 50 to 100 men still were entombed. Many of those rescued are suffering from se vere injuries and it is expected that many of them cannot recover. The rescue detachment which did such good work at the time of the French mine disaster at Courrieres, near Lens, March 10, 1906, when 1230 miners were killed, arrived here, but were unable to penetrate the galler ies owing to the flames and poison ous gases. The wivesXand families of the doom ed miners were gathered around the pit head all day, but were unable to learn any details, as the officials of the mines refused information. At 6 o'clock, 15 more bodies had been recovered, making the. total known deaths 40. The day shift had just descended and was being distributed along the various levels when a serious fire damp explosion occurred. The detonation was heard at the surface and the officials on duty im mediately followed rescue parties, who rushed back to the pit mouth with the villagers. FORMER SULTAN HAY GET OLDJOB BACK LONDON, Aug. 8. Near-Eastern affairs are reaching a crisis, accord ing to reports from Constantinople, which say that the committees of Un ions and Progressive parties have resolved to summon the dissolved ChamBeT of Deputies to reassemble at Adrianople, to which the leaders have already gone. The government has proclaimed martial law at Salon ika, Adrianople and Smyrna. The Daily Chronicle's correspond ent, who recently was in Constantin ople, considers civil war is inevitable and that it is not unlikely that the committee's rival parliament will form a cabinet, and recall and pro claim the deposed Abdul Hamid as Sultan. Added to the universal trou bles are difficulties with Montenegro and Bulgaria. A Vienna dispatch says that after the Ketsehana massacre the Turkish troops proceeded to Sermenena, mas sacreeing the people of two Bulgar ian villages on the way. The fighting at Sermenena lasted five hours, and the Bulgarians were defeated. They fled and the Turks then butchered the aged men, women and children who Vere left behind and set fire to the town, many perish ing in the flames. This report has not been confirmed.

CORRESPONDENCE STAFFORD. The weather continues favorable for harvesting, and all are busy. Mr. Weddle and Ed Rabie cut and set up the wheat they had on the Gage place, and are ready to finish on their own. News from Mrs. Aden and Minnie Boekman at Ocean Park, says they are enjoying the sea baths, but will be home this week. There is a new man under the roof of Mr. Kellar, but we hear, with pity, that the old grandmother has become totally blind. Mrs. Gillette, of Elyville, and Mrs. Prindle, an old resident of Stafford, visited with Mrs. Gage Wednesday. It was reported that chicken thieves had again visited Wm. Shaltz, also Mark Baker. Ethis Athy was coming home Wed nesday night from Oregon City, when two young fellows with white hand kerchiefs over their faces suddenly appeared and ordered him to throw up his hands, which he did to ac commodate them. They took what money he had, which amounted to two dollars, so you see, Stafford. with its hold ups, chicken thieves, black hands, etc., is getting to be quite metropolitan. Mrs. Sam Moser drove to Oregon City Wednesday. No news of Mrs. Nilem, who is still at the Sellwood hospital, has been re ceived this week. Arden Gage motored out to Staf ford from Sheridan Monday, arriving at his father's place at noon and went to Portland Tuesday as a witness in a case to defraud workmen. Gus Gerhardt and son, Harry, are still at work on Charlie Thompson's new house. Workmen have suspended work on Mr. Widdle's house until the hurry of harvesting is over. The Ladies' Circle meets next week, Thursday afternoon, the 15th with Mrs. Gage, and she hopes to have a full house. This society was formed to get the neighbors acquaint ed, as since the advent of the tele phone they rarely meet except at church or a funeral. MACKSBURG. The slight rains of the past week have set the hops, potatoes and corn forward at a pace most encouraging to the farmers of Macksburg and vi cinity. Fishing on the Molalla seems to be good, judging from the experience of Jess Heppler, who brought home 45 trout from two hours' fishing Sun day. Frank Hilton and his party came home Saturday with a fine supply of trout, after feasting in their mountain camp till they were tired. . The threshing machine owned by John Heppler and George Walsh be gan work with a full crew .on the farm of Charles Kraxberger Monday morning. From there they go to Mr. Heppler, Senior. Work on the Canby and Molalla railroad goes steadily forward. George Koch is showing signs of recovering from a long and severe illness. Mrs. Dreir is recovering from a ser ious illness. Mrs. Bert Wallace of Mulino drove over with her little son on Friday to spend the day with her mother, Mrs. Seward. Wilbur Seward is at home spending his vacation with his mother and sis ter.
