siveism" spells reaction to Bourbon
ism. Referring to recent Republican
victory in the state he writes: "Since
that time the state government has
been in control of the Republican
party, and. no one can successfully
claim that it has not been clean, ef
ficient and progressive in the conduct
of state affairs. On the other hand
the Democratic party in this state,
with the exception of the faction
which "supported Mr. Folk, now al
most a negligible quantity, has stood
and now stands, for nothing except
machine politics, reactionary polices
and alliance with special 'interests."
"These voters," he writes, referring
to Progressives who shrink from Bour
bon restoration, "realize what
a step backward it would be in the
Democratic party, with its present
candidates for state officers, should be
successful. What attitude they will
assume if they feel that the action
of the Progressive State Convention
has insured Democratic success you
can judge as well as I." The Govern
or then pleads with the third-term
candidate for the presidency to exert
an influence with the Bull Moose con
vention for the abandonment of the
Bull Moose State Ticket and the un
ion of all Republicans in support of
the candidates nominated in the state
convention.
LOGIC IS LOGIC
There is a touch of pathos in Gov.
Hadley's spurred and even unan
swered advice to the Colonel, in which
he pointed out the reactionary results
to follow a large "progressive" de
flection from the Republican party in
Missouri. The Governor, for the first
time, seems to have caught a glimpse
of the truth that Roosevelt "Progres-
FORUM OFTliE PEOPLE
DR. FORD ASKED QUESTIONS.
OREGON CITY, Sept. 17. (Editor
of the Enterprise). I see some things
in print nowadays that cause me to
smile. One of the most smilie of
smiles was caused by D. Ford's open
letter 4o Judge McGinn. Dr. Ford
was the man that said at the Bull
Moose meeting at Willamette Hall,
"This is no time to be on the fence,
if you are a Moose. I am a 'Prohi'. if
I was not I would be a Moose." Now
Dr. Ford attended the Clackamas
County "Prohi" Convention Saturday.
I suppose that when he read Judge
McGinn's Scriptural passage both to
gether was too much for him, hence
the Shout. But Doctor, if you were
as well acquainted as some people
with lawyers you would know they
quote Scripture when they have
a bad case but the quotation is good
whether it is applicable to T. R. or
not. Now what has Teddy done? Why,
bless your life, the. only thing that

Real Competition

Trust Control

Attorney General of the

Y opinion is that the MOST SUCCESSFUL TRUST
DISSOLUTION ha3 been realized in the TOBACCO
CASE.
fit ulrhtKENTIATION OF INTERESTS THERE IS
GOING ON MORE RAPIDLY, AND THERE ARE A DOZEN FULL
SIZED COMPANIES ENGAGED IN COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHER.
WHICH IS ALREADY VERY MARKED.
There was a group of about seven STRONG MEN in that con
cern, and each one of those has cast his lot with a PARTICULAR
COMPANY, and each one is making EVERY EFFORT POSSI
BLE to have his company the MOST SUCCESSFUL,
The OBVIOUS COMPETITION which has arisen at once has
been the BUYING of RAW MATERIAL, and I am told that
they had more REAL COMPETITION in the PURCHASE of
TOBACCO LEAF in Kentucky this last season than they had known
there in YEARS. The competition in RETAIL PRICES is be
ginning to have its EFFECT. -
EACH COMPANY IS ENDEAVORING TO PUSH AHEAD OF THE
OTHERS. EACH CONCERN HAS ITS COMPLETE ORGANIZATION BY
ITSELF AND WANTS TO PUSH ITSELF AHEAD AND MAKE THE
BIGGEST SUCCESS. INSTEAD OF ALL BEING IN ONE POT NOW
THERE ARE THESE DIFFERENT CONCERNS.
he has ever done to my knowledge
of any good is the attempted annihila
tion of the Republican party for sel
fish motives. Why, if he had been a
true Progressive, he would have work
ed for La Follette, one of the greatest
Progressives of the age. Another,
he busted the trusts to the tune of
149 when he went into office and
there were 1020 when hewent out. The
first year he went into office there
was excess of revenue over expenses
of $90,000,000 and at the end of seven
years he left a deficit of $38,000,000
and an increase of . government ex
penses of $190,000,000 per year over
his predecessors.

Mr. Hedges, supplementing the re
marks of Dr. Morris, declared that the
conditions in Oregon City were deplor
able. He said that many persons who
had small orchards and cared for
them suffered because neighbors did
not care for their trees. He cited
several instances where diseased
trees "in, a small orchard had bran
ches interlocking those of trees well
cared for in orchards on adjoining
lots.
The financial condition of Oregon
City was also discussed. J. E. Hedges
announced that the charter provided
the city could not have more than
$50,000 bonded indebtedness and the
limit had been reached. He said $20,

Stipp explained that the people be

BOURNE VICTIM

Kennedy, Portland.
Oregon Dairy and Food Commis

County.
Representative in Congress (First
District) John W. Campbell, Rose
burg. Representative in Congress (Third
District) To be selected by conven
tion to be held in Portland.
Railroad Commissioner (Second
Disrict) Robert Service, Baker.
The convention split wide open
shortly after perfecting permanent or
ganizaion over the question of putting
a state ticket in the field and the fight
waged hot around the question for
nearly an hour.
The committee on resolutions, State
Seuator Joseph, of Multnomah; J. W.
Campbell, of Roseburg; J. Frank
Burke, of Portland; Bruce Dennis, of
La Grande, and Will H. Evans, of Sa
lem, failed to be a unit on the state
ticket question.
A majority report came in early
concurred in by four members of the
committee, resolving that the conven
tion should ' name five Presidential
electors and nominate candidates for
United States Senator and Congress
men. Bruce Dennis, of La Grande, cham
pioned a minority report declaring
that the primary law be taken as a
guide and director and urging that
the convention not deem it wise to
put a state ticket in the field. This
minoriy report was overwhelmingly
defeated after some heated debate.
J. Frank Burke, of Portland, put in
an amendment to the majority re
port resolving for a full state ticket
This had the qualification that all of
the men nominated be known tobe
afl&liated with the Roosevelt Progres
sive party by their own declarations.
This added phrase "by their own dec
larations was swollowed by mem
bers of the convention without pro
test, although an effort was made to
modify it somewhat by stating that
such candidates could later express
their desire to afiiliate with the or
ganization if they desired,' but this
was hooted down by Ben Riesland
as placing a premium on cowardice.

First Thermometer.
The first thermometer was made In
1621 by a Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted of
a tube filled with air, closed at its up
per end and dipping at its other ex
tremity, which was open, in a bottle of
nitric acid diluted with water. As the
'temperature rose or fell the air in the
tube increased or grew less in volume
and consequently the liquid descended
or rose. This Instrument is now known
as an air thermometer; but as its
measurements were based on no fixed
principle it was of little use.'
The Justs.
Banaram of Persia bore the enviable
title of the Just. The righteousness of
his decisions were seldom called in
question. This title has been conferred
on several monarchs, among them be
ing Casimir II. of Poland. Ferdinand
I. and James II. of Aragon. Haroun-al-Raschid
of "Arabian Nights" fame,
Khosron of Persia. Louis XIII. of
France and Pedro I. of Portugal.
Lassa.
Lassa, which is the capital of Tibet,
for generations was known as the For
bidden City because of its political and
religious exclusiveness. In 1904 a Brit
ish armed expedition opened the mys
terious old city. Previous to that time
practically every European traveler
had been stopped in his efforts to reach
the place. The population of Lassa Is
about 35,000.
YOUR BURDENS.
No man ever sank under the bur
den of today. It is when tomor
row's burden is added to today's
that the weight is more than a man
can bear. George Macdonald.
A Curious Tombstone.
Upton, near Peterborough, one of
the smallest parishes in England, num-.
bering only fourteen houses, possesses
a tombstone of black marble, which
becomes damp in patches whenever
rain is about to fall. It is regarded in
the village as an infallible barometer.
This tombstone is. presumably, the
English equivalent to the weeping
cherub at Amiens cathedral.
Man and Art.
In ancieut times liieie stood in the
citadel of Athens three statues of Mi
nerva. The first was of olive wood iukI.
according to popular tradition. ha;l
fallen from heaven. The second was
of bronze, commemorating the victory
of Marathon, and the third of gold and
ivory a great miracle of "art iu (he
days of Pericles. And thus in the
citadel of time stands man, himself -in
childhood, shaped of soft and deli
cate wood, just fallen froiik heaven:
in manhood a statue of bronze, com
memorating struggle and victory, and.
lastly, in the maturity of age, perfectly
shaped in gold and ivory a miracle of
art!

Mosquito Eggs.
The eggs of the mosquito are fasten
ed together by a viscid secretion from
the insect's body. From 250 to 300
eggs are laid at a time, and the little
boat shaped mass Is so constructed
that it will not overset. It cannot be
sunk nor in any way injured by wind,
rain or water. It is abandoned by the
insect, and the eggs are hatched by the
heat of the sun or atmosphere. A tem
perature below freezing is said not to
destroy the vitality of the mosquito's
eggs.
CHEERFULNESS.
Let your aim be to keep cheer
ful always. You may fall short of
the "always," but you will achieve
more by taking this highest standard
than by trying to be cheerful merely
"most of the time." Leam to make
an atmosphere of joy for yourself
not only for your own sake, out
for the good of the people you
