BULL MOOSE HORNS AND HOOFS
The name of the late Cornelius N.
Bliss is, it appears, as serviceable to
one side of the PenroSe-Archbold-Roosevelt
imbroglio as to the other.
A few days ago it seemed that the
onus of relying upon a dead man for
corroboration was falling a little too
much on the side of the colonel's op
ponents. The colonel was quick to
see the force of a sentimental appeal
to the public sense of justice which
demands that 'the memory of the dead
shall not be assailed. Neither Pen
rose nor Archbold had done violence
to the memory of Bliss. They had
only placed him, in their narratives
of events in 1904, where, as treas
urer of the committee at that time, it
was indispensable that he should, be
placed in telling of the handling of

funds donated by the Standard Oil
Corporation. The colonel, however,
could not resist the temptation to fire
the tender heart of a generous peo
ple with wrath against all who call
the dead to witness the truth of what
they declare.
If thi3 be sin, then its mark is also
upon the colonel's door. William Loeb
whom the colonel appointed as his
private secretary after he had put
George B, Cortelyou out of that of
fice into the chair of the National
Committee, was at Sagamore Hill,
conferring with Cortelyou and the col
onel. Then he issued a statement in
which he declares that he remembers
writing and sending, at the colonel's
dictation, the letters and telegrams
which the colonel lately produced as
having passed from him to Cortelyou
between the 26th and 29th of October.
Loeb says; the first intimation the
colonel had of the Standard Oil con
tribution . was from the newspapers.
Cortelyou, according to Loeb was
strangely remiss in answering either
letters or telegrams. Finally, at Mr.
Roosevelt's order, Loeb called up Cor
telyou by phone message and told
him the colonel wanted to know what
had been done about it. "Cortelyou's
reply," says Loeb, "was that he had
just finished consulting with Cornel
ius N. Bliss, and that Bliss had assur
ed him that no Standard Oil money
had beer, contributed."
This citation of the dead is no
worse and no better than that made
by Penrose and. Archbold. But Mr.
Loeb goes distinctly farther than
either Archbold or Penrose in the
advantage he takes of dead men.
Speaking of the Harriman contribu
tion of that same year, and justifying
the colonel's position at every point,
Loeb, who continually insists that he
has a most distinct recollection of all
of the events in dispute, says: "I was
present at the time Harriman made
his visit to the White House. I made
it a point always to be present when
Mr. Harriman was received by the
president." The meaning of this is
clear and unmistakable. A dead man
is being charged with the falsehood
about a man in a defenseless posi
tion with whom he is in conference,
making it necessary to have a third
party present as a witness. . No mat
ter what may be the final outcome of
this struggle between gentlemen, it
can be said with confidence that, in
the use and abuse of dead men as
weapons, the colonel's party is now
far ahead.-

H. L. Hughes, editor of the Labor
World, of Spokane, Wash., and an au
thority on socialism, spoke to about
fifty persons at Willamette Hall Tues
day evening. W. W. Myers, Socialist
candidate for county commissioner,
introduced the speaker. Mr .Hughes
declared that Socialism is gradually
being adopted, and that although its
growth was not rapid it was certain:
He called attention to the public
schools, the postal service, direct pri
parmy, initiative and referendum in
proof of his assertion that more pow
er was gradually being placed in the
hands of the people, which he said
was the essence of socialism. The
speaker made a pleasing appearance,
and won the confidence of his audi
ence, many members of which were
not socialists, by his courteous refer
ence to members of other political
parties.

"most marvelous fight."
Democrats feel somewhat elated,
too, for they show an increased vote,
though not enough to elect their can
didate. The result will not "be definitely
known until well into the morning, for
returns are being received very slowly-
The day was rainy and anything but
conductive to a full vote. However,
the rock-ribbed party voters went to
the polls in all manner . Of conveyan
ces. ;
The Prohibition and Socialist vote
did not vary materially from former
years.
Many "Republican leaders asserted
that the threatening weather contrib
uted to the falling off in the party
vote. These men stated that the re
corded vote of Vermont was close to
120,000, and that had weather condi
tions been fair the party would have
rolled up more than 40,000 for Fletch
er. The members of Congress elected
were: First District, Frank L. Greene,
of St. Albans (Rep.) ; Second District,
Frank Plumley, of Northfield (Rep.)
Belated Justice.
In due time the women came into
authority and power in the courts,
and the first culprit haled before them
for punishment was a man who had
spent his life advocating dress reform
for the fair sex. .
"Wretch that you are." decreed the
stern lady who presided on the beni-h.
"the decision of the court is that for
the term of your natural life you shall
be permitted to wear none but blouses
that button up the back and that you
be compelled to button tbem yourself."

1 ASK DECREES;
2 AWARDED THEM
Alleging that her husband failed to
support her and spent $750 of her sav
ings, Cora A. Pieren filed suit Tues
day for a divorce against Frank W.
Pieren. They were married May 9,
1911. Ellen Waufle asks a divorce
from Ralph Waufle, alleging that he
deserted her while they were living
in Wisconsin May 30, 1909. She asks
that her! maiden name, Ellen Green
wood, . be restored. Circuit Judge
Campbell granted Carrie French a de
cree from Ray-C. French, and restor
ed the plaintiff's maiden name, Car-1
rie Stanton. Mayme Adkins was
awarded a decree" from Earl R. Ad
kins, here maiden name, Mayme Cur
ran being restored.
OFFICERS OUSTED;
SALEM, Or., Sept. 3. The officers
of the Second battalion of the Third
infantry of the Oregon National
Guard, who failed promptly to obey
orders at the annual maneuvers near
Gates, Wash., are permanently dis
missed from the service, but the men
of the battalion are to be reinstated.
This, is the order of Governor West,
as commander-in-chief, issued today.
In a statement the governor says:
"Believing that the officers, of the
Second battalion were the ones direct
ly responsible for its failure promptly
to obey certain orders of .the regimen
tal commander during the recent man
euvers near Gates, Wash., it is recom
mended that the order of the general
staff discharging from the service
certain officers and enlisted men he
modified so as to apply only to such
officers."
The dismissed officers are Major
Ryland Scott, First Lieutenant Rich
ard Deich, First Lieutenant Harry C.
Brumbaugh, Captain Walter L. Tooze
and Captain Harry Williams.
After turning the wheels of law en
forcement in the direction of - the
breweries, and; receiving assurance
from District Attorney Brown of
Douglas county that action would be
commenced immediately to revoke
the charter of the Roseburg Brewery
and Ice Company and sending a re
quest to County Judge Bushey to re
voke the license of a saloon being
run just across the river from New
berg, in Yamhill county, on the ground
that it is a public nuisance, Govern
or West left this morning on the 11:20
car for Portland, to resume his fight
against vie in the metropolis.
He made no announcement of what
his next move in Portland would be,
but he spent nearly all yesterday
looking over material he has secured
and studying various law points that
bear on his efforts to clean up Ore
gon. That this week's activities will
largely center around the breweries
that have been shipping beer into dry
i territories, seems certain. In this way
j the governor is endeavoring to get at
I the source of the "blind pig" evil.
PASTOR BRAVES DEATH
TO RESCUE FAMILY
PITTSBURG, Sept. 3. As commun
ication with the afflicted flood sec
tions becomes, established,, stories of
herqjc and thrilling rescues become
numerous. One particularly spectac
ular feat was the rescue of Henry
Endler, his wife and two children, of
Avella, ini Washington County, by
Revfl B. F. Heaney, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church there.
The Endler home was crashed
against a railroad culvert and the fam
ily washed down stream. Three chil
dren were hurled on the bank and es
caped, while Endler ,with his wife and
two other children, succeeded in
catching hold of . branches of a tree,
where they were marooned. Heaney
heard their cries and procured help.
Getting a rope he fastened it around
his waist, and, while some men held
one end of it he plunged into the tor
rent and made for the marooned fam
ily. ' Eight times he was washed past
the flood victims' refuges, and was
hauled out to try it over again.
Finally he reached the tree, the
rope was fastened about Mrs. Endler
and she was dragged through the tor
rent to safety. To return the rope to
the marooned pastor and the Endlers
it was fastened to a huge block of
wood, thrown in, so that it would be
carried into the tree.One by one the
family was taken to safety, Pastor
Heaney being the last to leave the
tree.

PRISON FIRED BY
(Continued from page 1)
On seeing the fire department enter
the prison yard, many mutineers fled
back into' the prison, while others hid
in the various factory buildings, hop
ing to step over the walls when an
opportunity presented itself.
It. is said that three convicts scaled
the walls and are now at large.
Members of the two National Guard
companies rushed to the prison in au
tomobiles. They were ordered to shoot the
first prisoner who attempted to scale
the walls. -
When the prisoners reached the
yard they began burning everything
within reach. The officials, fearing
they would set the factories on fire,
summoned the firemen, who aided in
the attempt io subdue the rioters.
Hundreds of shopmen and others
were on the streets surrounding the
prison, and the special police, hastily
summoned, had trouble in keeping the
crowds orderly.
