COMES TO
DEFENSE OF RUGBY

as
SHOWS MANY ADVANTAGES
Xsraln Said to Be More Necessary
Than Brawn in English Ball,
"Whereas Mass Play Re
quire Weight Chiefly.
The advance sheets of the Pacific
Monthly for March contain a lengthy
article from President David Starr Jor
dan, of the Leland Stanford, Jr., Uni
versity. In which he defends the game
of Rugby football as played by the
two leading California educational in
stitutions. Stanford and Berkeley are the only
colleges of any prominence west of
the Rocky Mountains, which have
adopted the Rugby game in preference
to the American college game, and, as
a matter of fact, are among the very
few American institutions which have
taken to the English style of football.
In President Jordan's article he
champions the merits of the Rugby
(tame in the most able manner.
Whether his efforts to popularize the
English game will prove successful or
not will develop in the next few years.
However, at the present time, the two
California universities seem without
the fold in this one branch of sport,
and it is in the interest of the Rugby
style of play that the Stanford educator
has engaged in the writing "of mag
azine articles dealing with the me:its
of the game.
Argues Against Old Game.
In opening his subject President
Jordan cites the stand taken by Presi
dent Butler, of Columbia University,
and quotes President Eliot, of Har
vard, who contributed an article to the
Women's Home Companion in 1905 in
which the American game was con
demned. Other instances where the
American game was censured are also
cited by the advocate of Rugby foot
ball and in arguing in favor of the
English game. President Jordan says:
H may be rememhered that the present
American itame of football Is a modifica
tion of the British game of Rugby football,
introduced Into our colleges by Walter
nmp and others in 187R. The chief differ
ences in the two frames ariflo fjoni the
localizing in America of off-side play."
called by us "interference. " which Is for
bidden hy the rules of Rugby. In the latter
game no player may run ahead of the
player on his ide who carrier tho ball. In
legalizing interference any number of men
on the attacking side may run ahead of
the ball, consequently as many of the de
fense as ran be spared must stand in oppo
sition. Hence arises mass tlay. the un
graceful ani unsportsmanlike element, now
called "straight football."
The use of Rugby as an intercollegiate
game will doubtless yield evils of its own.
as well as repeat some of the evils of its
American derivative. The worst possibility
Is that It will fall Into the hands of coaches
who will stifle Its freedom of nlnv nnH Hh-
vlnp tho mechanical battle-like Ramn in
which, as now, players would abandon their
Individuality unclr the riirrtinn of conrhps.
Foul play in Rughy is plolnlv viMMe to
eprtfttorn. moreover It Is lnoffectlvA and
would lose the game oftener than win it.
Xo Mass Play in Ruby.
Thre is no mass play in Kughy, and a
savage tarkle in 1-ad play, for to throw the
runner and to fall onesself with him does
not Ktoo th ball, which has been thrown
to some other player. The puntttiK is ubuut
th same in the two carries, but every
man in Rugby must be able to kick quickly
and accural ely. rtinlitif is not a persona!
-petialty. of two or three of the blta as
In th American pame.
Experience shows that the accidents in
RuRby football are much less frequent,
Ips severe, and mainly confined to the
limbs. Injuries to the legs are almost as
frequent as in the American game. The
fact that the game is played in cotton
drawers instead of iadded coats of mail,
indicates af once a Croat difference. The
Kueby footlmil ij a far swifter came. In
volving adroitness and co-oyeration rather
than srreat strencth.
The ciant has the advantage even in
RuRby, but he mum be a Riant whose head
and whoe feet move quickiy. As there are
thirty players in a gam! of Ru.t;hy instead
of twenty-two. and as it is a .sioit which
men will play even though there 1r no
possible hope of making any team, its Intro
duction tends to revive the life of athletics
within the colleges, which the American
bat tie pa me has done so much to destroy.
Men can play Rugby football and carry
full work in the classroom as well. It la
a rare man who can do this and olay the
American game even as a scrub.
Develops Individual Work.
The came of Rugby cannot be planned
ry a coach. The most he can do is to Kve
form to individual players. In New Zealand,
th especial home of clean, nwift, strenuous
sport, every player is his own coach, and
professionalism of coaches as well as of
players, though not unknown, is condemned
by universal popular opinion.
To be sure the Kujby same never gives
the thrill that follows the shock when
masses of men throw themselves aval lift
each other. But this sort of thrill is not
a thinp to encouraRe. it 1s psychologically
and doubtless ethically bad. At any rate,
our laws look critically on the value of
prizefighting, which shares this feature in
common with American football. The ob
session and hysteria of the student bodies
are much less In the Rugby game. It is
a sport, not a battle, and the fine slay of
both sides appeals to the higher insuncts
of the youth.
Fr these reasons, the various attendant
evils, the building up of a team by prose
lyting, the immoderate desire to win. and
t he machinery' of intercollegiate war are
Jess likely to arise with Rugbv.

Constitutional Election of Senators.
PORTLAND. Feb. Hi. (To the Editor.)
It Is asserted that there a an effort afoot to
rob the people of their right to elect United
States Senators. Did the people ever have
uch a right? Never. It follows that they
cannot be robbed of it. Do they desire to
have such right 7 They may obtain it in the
constitutional manner. Is there a reason
why I'nltt-d States Senators shall be chosen
by a Legislature, and Representatives by the
people? The Federal constitution gives the
reason.
These and like questions are gravely aked
with purpoee of deceiving and misleading ig
norant or unthinking men. It is the appeal
of nVmagagues and should pass unheeded by
all to w hom it is l I rected.
Ixng lnce. the Slate of Oregon did all that
it may rightfully do. alone, in the matter of
direct election by the people of United Ktatea
Senators.

STATEMENT NO. 1
C. BVMoores Avers Democrat

Mugwumps Want It.
DEFENDS MARION METHOD
Central Committee of That County,
He Insists, in Returning to Con
vention Is Not Controlled by a
Coterie ' of Politicians.
SALEM. Or., Feb. 15. (To the Edi
tor.) As one who Is not a candidate
for any political offlce, who has never
received a political favor of any kind
from either Mr. Cake or Senator Fulton,
and who has no future political favors
to ask for himself, or for anybody else,
I desire to enter a protest against re
peated misrepresentations that have
been made, both of the action and the
purpose of the recent meeting of the
Republican Committeemen of this coun
ty in protesting against Statement No.
1. This meeting was not held, as has
been charged, at the Instance of any
coterie of Portland politicians, but was
an absolutely independent movement.
It was not held in the" interest of any
Senatorial candidate. The most active
opponents of Statement No. 1 are not
in harmony upon any candidate. It
was not a movement of the town
against the country. The members of
the committee were elected under the
direct primary law, and are almost
wholly from the country, and the sub
committee which unanimously reported
resolutions against Statement No. 1,
were all from the country. The resolu
tions were adopted by a practically
unanimous vote, only two opposing.
It Is significant, too. in view of the
fact that those who, knowing nothing
about the facts, have referred to the
resolutions as the work of machine
politicians, that the only committeeman
actively opposing the resolutions was
from Salem, and was one who has in
years past been more persistently and
viciously abused as a boss and a ma
chine politician than all the other mem
bers of the committee combined. There
was not a single suggestion of any In
tention to nullify the direct primary
law It was, however, the universal
expression that the Republican mem
bers of the Legislature from this coun
ty should support the Republican can
didate for Senator who received the
majority vote In the Republican pri
maries. Advises County Convention. .
The committee recommended the
holding of a county convention, just as
was done two years by the Demo
cratic, party all over the state. What
principle of the direct primary law was
violated In doing that? Such a conven
tion would be simply advisory. Its
work would have no binding effect. It
would afford two additional chances to
sift out the horde of candidates. A
primary election and a general election
must follow. The boss, who might at
tempt to take any advantage, would be
remembered ' both In the ensuing pri
mary and the ensuing election. How
could such a convention thwart the
wishes of the people? Would it In any
way limit freedom of action In the pri
mary? It would bring together Repub
licans from every section of the county
to consult over matters in which they
have a common interest.
As a general proposition this would be
in the interest of the country precincts,
and give them an opportunity to present
their claims in the most effective way.
The late Judge John B. Waldo, as radical
a reformer as Oregon ever knew, opposed
our primary law. It Is understood that
his leading objections were that it favored
the town as against the country, and that
It tended to build up an office-holding
aristocracy, giving the incumbents of
office, who have a wide personal ac
quaintance, a distinct advantage over
other candidates.
In the last Republican primary in
Marlon County there were 13 oountry
candidates for the Legislature, a majority
of all, but live out of the seven nominated
came from Salem, and another was from
Woodburn, the second largest town in
the county, while the Joint Senator came
from Albany. In Clackamas County the
Senator and all of the four Representa
tives came from Oregon City. Irt other
counties there were similar results.
Would not a convention tend to a more
equitable distribution? Is a man neces
sarily a boss or a machine politician
who thinks It would.
The "wild-and-woolly" opponent of State
ment No. 1 cannot discuss this question
without referring to the last Legislature,
elected under the primary law; as the
wonst we ever had. and abusing Senator
Bourne as a tyrannical political boss, and
denouncing what he calls the corrupt
Bourne-Uren machine, while on the other
hand almost every advocate of State
ment No. 1 deems it necessary to
denounce every man who does not agree
with him as a "corruptionist," a "bottle
holder for the machine." and the "hench
man of some political boss." That's one
way they all have of illustrating the
calm, intelligent. Judicial temperament of,
the people who are now supposed to bo
supreme.
Machine Is Democratic.
Even so conservative a man as Gov
ernor Chamberlain declares, in a pub
lished interview, that you cannot scratch
the bark of any. man who opposes State
ment No. 1 without finding a man who
is allied with "the machine."- The facts
are that the great majority of those op
posed to that statement have no Interest
in any machine, and the Republican
bosses are split upon the qtiestlon as they
are upon almost every other. There is
not, however, a single Democratic boss,
or a single Democratic machine politician
in the state who is not in favor of
Statement No. 1, for the very simple
reason that under it the minority party
has everything- to gain and nothing to
lose. Republicans of Oregon who have
nothing in common with "the machine"
cannot be driven into the support ct
Statement No. 1 by- any specious argu
ment that relates wholly to the form
and not to the substance of the direct
primary law.
Men are presumed to be Republicans be
cause they believe that the success of Re
publican principles will redound most to
the prosperity of the country, and be
cause they believe that the principles of
the Democratic party are destructive.
They know that ' organization Is necessary
to make the party effective and to make
the party principles secure. Actuated by
motives of this kind, the loyal party man
is the most loyal American and the best
citizen. If. as the Democratic minority
always preaches just before election,
there is no real difference in the two
parties, let the Democratic organization
disband and make it unanimous. Mem
bers of both parties almost universally
believe there is . a radical difference. If
you submit to t he people of Oregon the
abstract question as to whether they
desire a Republican or a Democrat to
represent them in the United States Sen-
ate they will respond by a majority of
at least 30.000 that they want a Republi
can. If you summarize the election re
turns on candidates for the Legislature,
and all the county offices In the state you
will get the same response.
If you canvass the. vote on every
candidate for a state office who has
not had to face any factional fight,
you will find the same overwhelming
Republican piajority. Every test that
eliminates faction, and that rele
gates the cut-throat politician and the
devotee of faction to the rear will
show the same result. The 4300 or
5000 Republicans of Marion County,
when they send a man to the Legisla
ture to vote upon the only purely
political proposition that he will have
to consider, expect him to vote for that
man for United States Senator who
received a majority in the primary
of that party which has an undisputed
majority of 30,000 in the state. How
is that playing into the hands of the
boss or the machine?
Statement No. 1 is the hope and the
dependence of the boss who is de
feated in the Republican primaries, and
it is the one thing tnat would throw
the balance of power into the hands
of those who place the interests of
faction above party and party princi
ples. The disgruntled party bosses,
turned down by the rank and file in
the party primaries, gets even by
negotiating with the Democratic bosses
for the transfer of their following to
the Democratic nominee. It is then a
battle between the Republican rank and
file and .the Democratic rank and file
marshaled by the Democratic bosses,
and backed by a defeated Republican
faction.
If such a combination overcomes the
normal Republican majority of the state
it is an actual perversion of the popular
will, and the subordination of what
should be a tight for a political principle
to a rough and tumble scrap between
two individuals. Loyalty to the direct
primary law does not require that every
vestige of our former system should be
eliminated. The system of checks and
balances that was adopted by the fore
fathers was esteemed one of the chief
merits of the form of government they
devised. They realized that, as It is
often necessary, to restrain the individ
ual, so it is necessary for the people as
a whole to place upon themselves limita
tions that will neutralize the effect of
hasty and inconsiderate action.
Primary Law Not Broken.
In this case, the spirit of the primary,
law is violated by the legislator who so
votes as to give effect to principles ap
proved by the great majority of the peo
ple, as against a hasty and purely per
sonal verdict born in the heat and pas
sion of a purely personal conflict. What
every the system under which we live
the boss and the machine exist only by
sufferance of the people. The primary
law should not be burdened with any
conditions which will not conduce to
make its main object more effective, and
more time and effort should be devoted
to stirring up the civic pride of the peo
ple and urging them to shake off their
chronic indifference, than to burdening
our statute books with ill-considered
legislation.
The protest against Statement No. 1
Is voiced by many who have no dispo
sition to question the motives of Mr.
XTRen, or to deny him credit for the
work he may have done In bettering the
political conditions of the State. It is
simply a demand on the purl of Repub
licans that any vote they may cast
upon a purely political question shall be
recorded and made effective. The Repuo
licans of Marlon County are not dis
turbed by any predictions that the oppo
nents of Statement No. 1 will be snowed
under by the people at the polls. In this
county that question has already been
tested, as it has in Multnomah and
Washington, and other counties of the
state. In our last primary lection there
was but one man nominated who was
an unqualified supporter of Statement
No. 1, and although he was a popular
and well-known man of high character,
he was nominated by a plurality of only
'two votes. One nominee accepted the
statement In a qualified form. The other
six nominees were open and aggressive
opponents of Statement No. 1 and were
elected by large majorities.
There seems to be a widespread idea
that Statement No. 1 is an essential and
vital part of the primary law. The law
expressly provides that It may he ac
cepted or rejected, and this of Itself is
a concession on the part of thaframers
of the law that many friends of the law
had no use for Statement No. i nH n
man who repudiates it can be charged
with disloyalty to the law. When its
acceptance becomes a necessity it will
be a work of supererogation for any
Republican to seek a nomination for the
Legislature on' a party ticket, or to look
for support on political grounds, for the
only political duty required or him can
just as well be discharged by a Demo
crat or a Socialist.

BLAMES THE GOVERNOR
Says That State Executive Vetoed
Bill Protecting Oregon Elk.
COQUILM5. Or.. Feb. 14 (To the Editor.)
In The Oregonian of tbe r.th instant I
read a letter written by the president of the
Audubon Society, William I,. Finley critic
ising the members of the last Legislative
Assembly for not passing an act protecting
the few elk to be found in the mountains
or tliis state. Permit me to answer to this
criticism. I have kept quiet on this sub
ject, under some strain, and The Oregonian's
and Mr. Finley's crk-tlclsnis are none too
severe, if the members of that body were to
blame, but they are not.
i I introduced a bill, through the commit
tee on game. House Bill No. 4'4, to pro
hibit the killing of elk In this state for a
period of ten years.- and looked after that
measure very carefully until it had passed
both the House and Senate, towards the
close of the session. I did Nnot go to the
Governor to tell him -why it should become
a law. as it seemed everybody in the state
wanted the elk protected. I thought of
course that the Governor would approve it
and let it become a law, but on reaching
home after the close of the sesMon. I read
1 In the newspapers that my elk bill had
met wun nis uisapprovai. i ne reason as
signed ly him was that a law had been
enacted at the lltoj session pertaining to
elk. and that the farmers of our state
would have to seek the advice of an at
torney to know what the law is relative to
the killing of elk In this state.. The law
or tt05, to which Governor Chamberlain
makes reference. Is found on page. 218 of
the laws of that session. It prohibits the
sale or transportation of game animals and
game birds, naming them, elk among the
Vthers. but there is not one word in that
Statute which can be construed to include
"killing eut. Ana lfmere ifi another man
n Oregon who cannot tell what that law
means. I should like to see him.
During the open season of one month last
Fall, many of these noble elk fell at the
crack of the long-range rifles held by
hunters of this county 1 was told by a
lady teacher who was teaching at Alleghany
during that time, that she saw every few
days, hunters coming from the mountains,
carrying one or two pair of elk-horns, and
that sometimes she would see as high as
three and four patr of horns brought out in
one day. Think of It! It Is estimated that
no lees than .iO elk were killed In this
county alone during that month. May I ask
what for? Was it for the flesh of those
animals? No, It was not fit to eat at that
time of year. They were killed simply
for their horns, two tushes, and the sport.
I saw an extra large pair of horns, together
with the hide and hoofs, brought fresh
from the mountains, but the whole carcass
was left In the woods. The law permitted
the killing, as Mr. Finley says, but it was
a shame.
Words fail to express my resentment of
the act-of the Governor In vetoing the bill
I have mentioned. The number of elk in
this county was on the Increase and in a
few years more there would have been a
good many elk In Oregon, but now. before
the legislature can pass a law protecting
elk, there will be none to protect In this
state W. C CHASE.

Stone was the subject of the sermon de
livered by Dr. J. Whitcomb B rougher at
the White Temple last night to a large
audience. He said that the social sin is
condemned by Christ just as quickly in a
man as in a woman, and that Christ for
gives the sins of women just as quickly
as those of men. He took for his text,
John viil., 10, U, "When Jesus tiad lifted
up Himself, and saw none but th woman,
lie said unto her, 'Woman, where are
those, thine accusers? Hath no man con
demned thee?' She said, 'No man, Lord.
And Jesus sa!d unto her, 'Neither do I
condemn thee; go and sin no more.' Dr.
Brougher said in part:
Our city has been somewhat aroused by
the murder of a young woman under dis
tressing circumstances. There has been an
effort to save her name from disgrace. For
the sake of loved ones I wish It might have
been protected. Society in its cruel and
harsh condemnation of sinning woman has
made it almost impossible for a woman who
has fallen from the path of rectitude to
ever get-back again. It is this fact that
has driven many an erring girl to prefer
death rather than to face disgrace. The
case Jn question is specially startling only
in the fact that it has been made public.
The investigation surrounding it thus far
reveals a condition of affairs that Is simply
horrible and calls for public action.
It requires the exposure of some of these
things by the sacrifice of a life or two be
fore even good people are ready to act. It
Is strange how willing the moral people of
a city are to endure the vices that flaunt
themselves in their faces rather than take
up the unpleasant task of suppressing and
exterminating them. To fight the vicious
element of society one must be prepared for
a most disagreeable undertaking. This gen
eration of vipers in our midst will not be
driven out without biting back. When we
begin to turn the light on they will begin
to squirm and we must be prepared for all
kinds of dirty, contemptible things that may
happen.
These people will impugn your motives,
slander your character, vllllfy your good
name and lie about you In every possible
way. It is not a pleasant or an easy task
to suppress the villains, but those who be
lieve In the ultimate supremacy of good and
the final triumph of the right cannot afford
to hesitate one moment in the fight that we
now have on to protect our sons and daugh
ters, and the young men and women of our
city from the tempter.
Representatives of the preachers. the
physicians, the lawyers, the newspaper men.
the Municipal Association and others have
been appointed as a committee for the pur
pose of driving out these depraved creatures
in our midst who live on the misfortunes
of others and thrive by the downfall of
young men and women. The work of this
committee for the present is outlined in a
threefold object. '
First. It will seek the suppression legally
of all so-called medical institutions where
criminal practices are permitted.
Second. Tt will expose and prosecute all
illegal medical practitioners and such other
individuals as engage in similar practices.
Third. It will seek the co-operation of
the newspapers In suppress ing all fraudu

In the pursuit of this purpose we propose

we are planning to act.
In the next "place we propose to agitate
this question until the public conscience is
aroused on this matter. We want the con
science of every physician quickened in re
gard to some of these things. We want the
conscience of individuals in the home quick
ened. We want the conscience of young
men and women quickened to understand
the awful enormity of this crime, and we
want public sentiment aroused until hosa
who seek to live on of the misfortunes of
others, or by msklng vice easy, will not
dare to show their heads, either by ad
vertising or otherwise. In our city.
As one of the preachers of this city I pro
pose to aid in this crusade. The time lias
come when we need to studv these ques
tions in the light of the teaching of Jesus
Christ. Sin Is sin and the same results fol
low it today as In past ages. Jesus Christ
came to deliver men and women from sin
and In Him we will find the ultimate solu
tion of this prohlem.

A Severe Cold Quickly Cured by Cham

"Last winter I caught a very severe cold
which lingered for weeks," says J. Ur
quhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. " My cough,
was very dry and harsh. The local dealer
recommended Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and guaranteed it, so I gave it a trial.
One small bottle of it cured me. I believe
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be the
best I have ever used."

A Sham Love of Country.
Chrlatian Register.
"Our country" is an entity of which
most American citizen, are proud. They
iove their country. They will Berve It,'
they will di for It: they resent any in
sult to our flap, and would make) war
with all the world rather than submit to
dishonor. And yet thousands of our coun
trymen who thus cherish a national ideal
are grafters, bribers, or bribed, advocates
of corruption, and agents of It In all that
pertains to the, business of the nation.
They do not love the nation, but
they love their country. The latter Is an
Ideal, like religion. But the nation they
regrard as an everyday affair, and their
dealings with It like the business they do
with sharp traders. In which each man
considers lawful plunder whatever he
can make hy exerelse of his wits.
