PORTLAND TO GET BENEFIT
KLICKITAT COUNTY WAXTS
CLOSER TKADE RELATIONS.
Development Spirit Is Awakening
and Bis Meeting: Is to Re Held
at GoUIenUale.
Goldendale and the Klickitat Valley
want closer commercial relations with
Portland. The people of that section feel
that in this way they can gain wider
publicity for their resources and realize
a greater development. The spirit of co
operation and growth ia now being
fostered by the people of that section of
"Washington and a rousing meeting will
be held at Goldendale, October 31, to
promote a get-together spirit and rouse
the dormant local commercial organiza
tion to greater activity.
Jn this work the people of Klickitat
County are taking a leaffrom Tom Rich
ardson's book. They propose to adopt
the same methods that he has used in
awakening community pride throughout
this state. Mr. Richardson has been In
duced to go to Goidendale and address
tne meeting to be held there October 31.
This gathering will be in the afternoon
of Saturday and the occasion is being
widely advertised throughout the county.
The Spokane. Portland & Seattle Rail
way has made a special rate of one and
one-third fares for "the round trip to
Goldendale from any point in Klickitat
County.
In addition to the address of Torn
Richardson along the lines of community
publicity, H. M. Adams, general freight
and passenger agent for the North Bank
road, which serves Klickitat County, will
epeak. There will also be remarks by
local speakers.
I. Leadbetter, member of the execu
tive committee of the Klickitat County
Development League, which was or
ganized about a year ago, visited Port
land yesterday to secure the co-operation
of Portland in the promotion of Golden
dale and the entire county. He made
final arrangements for the meeting with
Messrs. Richardson and Adams and will
return home today.
"We look to Portland as our market
and source of supply. said Mr. Lead
better. "Seattle and Tacoma are as far
away from us as Chicago. We must
look to this city and we do not want
the fact that Portland is in another state
to make any difference in the commercial
relations we hope to establish here. Port
land will get the benefit of the develop
ment of the Klickitat country.
"Out development league has been or
ganized about a year but funds have
been limited to carry on the work and
the results have been in proportion. Now
that the new North Bank road brings
us into direct touch with Portland, we
feel that we will be able to bring the
resources of Klickitat County to the
attention of the East and induce settle
ment there.
"We want to organize our development
work along exactly the same lines that
Tom Richardson has followed in the
cities of this state. We are going to get
the co-oporation of the business houses
of Goldendale for the awakening of ai
greater public spirit and they have
agreed to close their doors during the
meeting. It is expected to get the sup
port of the farmers and other residents
to provide funds to be used in giving
publicity to the resources of Klickitat
County."

McArthur Confirms Estimated

SPEAKERS HARD AT WORK
Ilepublican Secretary Reviews Cam
paign Throughout State and An
nounces Rallies Yet to Re
Held Refore Election.
From advices he has received from
throughout the siate. Secretary McArthur,
of the Republican State Central Commit
tee, confirms the estimate of The Orego
nian that Taft will have a plurality of
at least 19.220 in this state. Secretary
McArthur places at 20.0"0 Taft's mintmum
plurality in the state and says he is confi
dent the Republican nominee will carry
Multnomah County by at least 7ofl0. In
discussing the political situation in the
state yesterday. Secretary McArthur said:
"From reports which -have been coming
in from outside counties during the past
week. I feel warranted in making the pre
diction that Oregon will give Taft and
Sherman a plurality of not less than 20.
000 votes. Most favorable reports are
coming in from all parts of the state, di
rect from the precinct committeemen and
from Republicans for whose Judgment I
have the most profound respect.
Predicts 1500 in Marion. t
'Men who know conditions in Marion
County tell me that that county will give
a majority of 1500 for our ticket, and re
ports from Lane County indicate a ma
jority of TOO or 800. I have also received
good reports from Jackson, Coos. Clatsop,
Polk. I'matilla. Crook. Wasco. Sherman,
Gilliam, Wheeler, and In fact almost all
the coun'ies of the state. Whatever fac
tional differences have existed In the past
are lest sight of during the present cam
paign, and all who profess to be an call
themselves Republicans are working for
Taft and Sherman.
"I am highly pleased at the success
which Is attending the meetings of our
campaign speakers. Senator Fulton is
now busy in Eastern Oregon, having al
ready addressed large and enthusiastic
gatherings at Madras, Bend, Prineville,
Condon and Heppncrr At the last named
places crowds were so large that they
could not be accommodated, and many
were turned away. There will be a big
rally in Pendleton tonight where Senator
Fulton will be the principal speaker, and
another one at Echo tomorrow night. On
his return to Western Oregon, Senator
Fulton will stop at Hood River to address
the voters of that place under the aus
pices of the Hood River Republican Club.
Rutler in Southern Oregon.
"Robert R. Butler, of Condon, has been
campaigning In Southern Oregon, and has
addressed large and appreciative audi
ences, particularly at Grants Pass and
Cottage Grove. He will spend another
week in the Willamette Valley where he
will ba assisted by H. M. McKinney. rep
resentative from Baker County, who is
also an orator of more than average abil
ity. Mr. Butler is a young man. but he
Is an exceptionally good campaigner.
"Judge Stephen A. Lowell begins his
campaign tonight at Toledo and will de
liver 12 addresses in Western Oregon.
Judge Ellis is scheduled for five speeches
in Coos County, commencing tonight at
Marshfleld. J. D. Lee, who has already
covered Umatilla County, is now touring
Wheeler County In the interests of the
ticket. JuJge M. C. George speaks tonight
at Hillsboro. and will have other assign
ments a little later on; and George R.
Rodgers. Mayor of Salem, will deliver
three addresses in Tillamook- County com
mencing tomorrow evening. Judge Henry
H. McGinn has been booked for three ad
dresses in Eastern Oregon Baker City,
iTJnion and Pendleton during the last
week of the campaign. A number of other
sneakers will also be out during the last
week, but their Itineraries have not yet
been arranged.
Humphrey at Final Rally.
"We are fortunate in securing the serv
ices of Congressman Will E. Humphrey,
of Seattle, wlto will speak at Salem next
Monday night and in Portland next Tues
day night Congressman Humphrey Is
one of the best orators on the Coast, and
has made an especial study of the rela
tions of the Republican party to the labor
ing man. and also has Investigated thor
oughly the record of Judge Taft in the
matter of labor decisions. He is a most
convincing speaker, and owing to the fact
that he Is so well and favorably known
It has been necessary to secure the Ar
mory for his address. This will be the
last big rally of the campaign, with- the
exception of the smoker of the Union Re
publican Club on the evening of October
31. when Judge Stephen A. Lowell and
Judge L. R. AVebster will be the principal
speakers.
"The work of sending out literature,
buttons, lithographs, etc., for the different
counties Is about over, and an examina
tion of the records of this office shows
that nearly four tons of these materials
has been scattered throughout the state;
No county, and in fact no precinct, has
been overlooked; the state has been liter
ally flooded with campaign documents,
lithographs and buttons, and from reports
that are coming in, all of these have had
a beneficial effect. This talk about the
Democrats carrying Multnomah County
Is too ridiculous to admit of serious con
sideration. Taft and Sherman will carry
this county by not less than 7500 votes,
and it would not surprise me to see the
majority very much larger. There Is ab
solutely no doubt about the outcome of
the state; It is simply a question of the
size of the Republican majority."

COLORED VOTERS PRAISE TAFT
Also Declare Roosevelt Did Right in
Brownsville Trouble.
Rousing addresses advocating the sup
port of Taft and Sherman by every col
ored voter were made last night at a
meeting of the Colored Taft Republican
Club at Its new quarters. Ninth and Gll
san streets. President Roosevelt was en
tirelv exonerated for his action in con
nection with the Brownsville incident,
and thetspeakers insisted that it was un
just that Taft. although he v-s s.i .port
ing Roosevelt's policies, should be cen
sured for anything Roosevelt hatt i...ie.
particularly In view of the fact that the
President had proceeded properly in
treating wih the riot of the colored sol
diers at Brownsville.
Owing to a misunderstanding as to the
'it hns been a struggle to Bet before
the people the dangerous facts, the hid
den underground facts, relating to the
plans for control of the liberties and af
fairs of the common citizens by the
adroit managers of the huge "Labor

Fair Union Men.
To the credit of the P.fl
union let it'be said the majority of its
members are too intelligent to refuse to
set type on either side in discussion of
a principle, realizing that the columns
of a newspaper musfbe unhampered
However in some offices less wisdom

His only good excuse would be no
contract with Post." But when he got
angry and began to offer various and
sundry other reasons, it became plain
to the enquirer that it was left out
through pitiable fear. '
The discovery by readers that a
favorite newspaper feared to print mat
ter written for and in the interest of the
thirty-nine citizens out of every forty,
(only one union man in every forty citi
zens) produced a disgust and diust
hard to overcome. When the rights of
the common people cannot be defended
in the newspapers because of fear of
some organization, either of capital or
labor, the enslavement of citizens has
reached a dangerous point and the pa
pers which refuse to stand for the rights
and freedom of the great reading and
thinking public, should be known and
rebuked by the public they ought to serve.
Tho3e readers who would like to have
printed the names of a few papers and
public servants who have been lax in
support of the rights of the people when
assailed by class organizations are In
vited to make known their wishes by
mail addressed to the undersigned.
Have You Noticed,
Reader, how adroitly the Leaders of
the Labor Trust work to gain more
and more control over the hberties of
the people?
Do you realize they are aiming at
absolute domination of the daily af
fairs of cicizens?
Do von think it would be safe to al
low youtself to be gradually tied hand
and foot until your inherited freedom
and liberty was taken from you? Have
a look at their methods and draw your
own conclusions.
Threats are made to City, County,
State and National officers and public
men, either of defeat or violence for
judges and jurors, and the number of
citizens assaulted or murdered and prop
erty destroyed in an active Labor Trust
year exceeds by far the amount of vio
lence which ever occurred in any one
vear during pro-slavery days. The black
man was not his own master. The pres
ent day union man is not. He must
quit when the Labor Trust leader
"orders." Involuntary Idleness is no less
deplorable tnan Involuntary servitude.
The disobedient, black man was at
times driven with a whip back to his
work. The disobedient "union" man
has, in thousands of cases, been driven
away from his work with clubs, mis
siles, revolvers and knives; assaulted,
slugged unconscious, maimed for life or
murdered. Or perhaps his steps dogged
for weeks, he and his family subjected
to insults innumerable, homes destroyed
and property blown up. The most damna
ble cruelty and brutality that hate
could devise and ruffian outlaws exe

There wore above 5000 citizens as
saulted in one city (Chicago) during one
strike (the teamsters) and many men
crippled for life. Some 12 or 14 were

there have been but few convictions

Uncle Sam's Way.
If only ten Americans had been slugged
and maimed and one killed in a foreign
port, ample apology would have been
made and ample funds exacted for the
support of the injured families, at the
muzzles of Uncle Sam's 12-inch guns, or
.one people and some things would have

sued to recover on a $S50 note issued

knees to impress the jury with sympathy.
So much for the brutal murderer, but
who brings Into court the destitute,
fatherless children of the poor workman
murdered in cold blood because he obeyed
the instincts of an almighty Father, who
impelled him to seek work to feed his
little ones? What play is ever made by
them to sway a Jury? The murderer is
supported by the funds of the Labor
Trust. The orphans of the victim have
no money to help them obtain justice.
Impudent Pretense.
The Labor Trust leaders .proclaim
peaceful Intent and publicly decry vio
lence. Such bare-faced assertions as
that of the President of the American
Federation of Labor that "Organized
Labor Is one of the most potent factors
for the preservation of peace," is only
Interesting as in Illustration of the ex
treme impudence of these leaders with a
most terrible record of criminal proced
ure behind them. It lately became public
that this Trust expended upwards of
J15O,0jO.0O to defend its members in the
Haywood-Moyer trial, securing acquittal
by a frightened jury, notwithstanding
the fact that the judge who presided at
the trial announced afterward that the
testimony implicating the members of
the Labor Trust in the deeds of violence
was in his opinion true.
The Labor Trust shouts for the public
ear, -and winks in another direction
while it finds it necessary to rush to
the support of its criminal members,
in order to "keep up the work."
Without certainty of protection the
slugger would quickly become discour
aged. The victims of the Labor Trust
dare not publicly protest even if he lives
through the entertainment by the "en
tertainment committee," and the wives,
widows and children have no way to
bring their wrongs to the public ear.
The poorhouse may take care of some
and the streets of some, but the suf
fering, terror and agony put upon the
children, wives and widows of inde
pendent workingmen is known only to
themselves and their God and no one
seems to have the humanity or brav
ery to speak in their defense.
Thousands of individual members of
organized labor have hearts as tender
as can be found in all human nature,
but they seem powerless in the iron
grasp of impudent and desperate tyrants
who hold them bound and who extort
from them not only money but "obedi
ence" and bring reproach on the very
name of Labor.
Honest Union Men Helpless
Let an honest union man raise his
voice in protest at a union meeting and
the "men of violent tendencies" cry him
down with shouts to "throw dat guy out
de window" and if he don't shut up he
may expect to be violently and effec
tively shut up. Some day let us hope that
organized labor will get rid of the pres
ent leaders and conduct the sale of its
product (labor) in the peaceful legal
manner of business men who sell the or
dinary products of humanity, and when
they cannot sell their labor at a satis
factory pries to one man, do as the
farmer does . who offers his wheat to
another buyer and either sells it at the
highest price the market will warrant
or keeps it for a higher market but
does not picket the mill, assault other
farmers who prefer to sell their wheat
or blow up the mill whose owner can
not at that time buy at the price asked.
The man who has saved money with
which to purchase wheat or labor should
not be maimed, murdered or his prop
erty destroyed because he does not feel
like parting with that money to buy
wheat or labor when he either does not
want it, or knows the price to be too high
to warrant its purchase. Any attempt at
coercion should be promptly and effectu
ally punished by the courts and the
bullies put where they cannot again
tyrannize over independent Americans.
This rapid growth of anarchy and evi
dent purpose of the Labor Trust to dic
tate just what persons shall be employed,
how long and at -what price and how
much pay to the managers has taught
every man who has saved a dollar and
wants to build a house or establish a
factory, that he had better keep his
money in some safe investment, instead
of going into something where he
would be actually forced to buy labor
when not needed and to employ men he
don't want.
In other words, the man who has a little
money to Invest don't propose to have
any trust, even the Labor Trust, tell
him how or where to pay it out. This
widespread attack of the Labor Trust on
citizens who would have money to in
vest in labor if allowed to invest peace
ably, has been one of the strongest ele
ments which brought on the panic.
' Men who have money to build, don't
like to be harassed to death by contin
ued impndent interference and expens
ive delays by labor union tangles, there
fore hundreds of them don't build. So
with proposed new factories and other
enterprises.
Between the loud mouther political
demagogues and the Labor Trust lead
ers, the steady attacks on industries
dried them up and the panic came bring
ing idleness and misery to thousands.
The demand by the Labor Trust leaders
for an anti-injunction law, is quite in
keeping with the purposes of the tyran- ,
nous leaders. A carerui investigation oi
the records of all Federal courts for the
past 5 years discloses the fact that only
20 injunctions have issued in labor dis
putes and in not one of these cases has
the superior court reversed or failed to
approve. No other subject handled by our

The latter indorsed it to Phil F. Rogo-
way, and he-Indorsed It to the bank. The
United States bank then sent it to the
Indenendence National Bank, on which
it was drawn, and payment was refused.
It was the claim of Gross that the check
was to be a loan to Phil Rogoway, but
that the latter put it Into circulation
without giving security to M. E. Rogo

courts has been as free, from mistake.
Humanity is nrone to weakness and
error; and our courts are human, but
fortunately for mankind we find less
error and weakness In the handling of
restraining orders or injunctions" in
labor cases than in any other depart
ment of legal procedure, and the most
remarkable fact in all this anti-injunction
agitation is that thus far not one
single c.ise has been shown where an
innocent man has been harmed.
What Are Injunctions.
"Now what is an Injunction," someone
asks. When it becomes known that the
trust leaders plan to have their slujrgerB
waylay other workmen and assault them,
or picket and spit on and insult or attack
American citizens groins1 to or coming;
from work, or plan to destroy some ma
chinery, blow up a factory, mine or
workman's home or do any other act of
violence or crime, the courts established
by the people and for their protection can
issue a '"restraining order" or "injunc
tion" ordering these men not to do the
acts they intend, until the court can have
time to enquire into the rights in the case.
Kvery man with his mind set on re
venge or violence, and every single in
mate of every penitentiary in this coun
try hates a court injunction like a mad
dog hates water.
What does the man who fears an in
junction have In his mind?
Do you believe he is seeking peace?
No citizen who was at home or on the
street on a peaceful, lawful mission has
ever Deen troubled by a court order to
prevent men from attacking property,
or persons. It has been common for
Labor leaders (?) and a few politicians
to say that courts have "abused" tho
right to issue injunctions in labor cases.
After a careful search of the records Hon.
Charles E. Uttlefield made open request
of President Roosevelt to cite one single
injunction wherein peace intending citi
zens had been harmed and our estimable
President was put in the embarrassing
position of having stated that "abuses
had arisen" because some interested per
sons had so told him, but on demand for
the cases, they could not be produced.
$1000 Reward.
I now again offer $1000.00 in cash for
evidence of a single case in the past five
years in labor disputes where court in
junctions to protect persons and prop
erty have been opposed to the public
good. No person can produce one. Why,
therefore, should the Labor Trust lead
ers bo strenuously demand that the
courts be stripped of the right to issue
Injunctions to protect people and property?
These ieaders want to be free to order
the sluggers to proceed with their work
and their dynamiters to blow up home
or property before the courts can inter-A-ene
to protect. That's exactly what is
meant by the proposal to prevent any
court from Issuing a restraining order
without five to seven days' notice. That
would give time to the intending crim
inals to do their work and get into hid
ing before the court can protect those
whom the sluggers intend to harm. The
independent workingman's home could
thus be blown up and he taught the
danger of disobedience of "orders" of
the Labor Trust.
It's a pitiable condition, that of work
ingmen, both union and non-union,
when they dare disobey any Labor
Trust manager's order, however impu
dent or tyrannous.
Shall we nourish the further growth
of such power centered in the hands of
a few misnamed "Labor leaders' now
seeking to tell L'nlon men that they
must vote for the party pledged to
enact any law these trust leaders ask
looking to more power, if they will
"deliver tho labor vote?"
Trade on Labor Vote.
That trade was a humiliating insult
to every liberty-loving workman in
America and they are quite justified in
the general resentment against it.
The political managers of both great
parties wish "Post would keep still."
"He talks too plain." "He don't know
any more about politics than a rabbit."
But amidst all the word twisting, pre
tense, cowardice, side-stepping, and
boot-licking of politics before a Nation
al campaign it Is refreshing to take a
few long, deep breaths, wipe the cob
webs out of one's eyes and take a
good, keen, close fook at eyact facts.
Post, as President of the National
Citizens' Industrial Association, has a
duty to perform without fear or favor
of any political party or class organiza
tion, either of Capital or Labor, and
when these facts are placed before the
20 to 30 million readers of this article
and they realize the danger to their
properties and personal liberties by vot
ing for class legislation and privilege,
that duty will have been done. It may
Interest you to know that Post was
lately elected an Honorary member of
one of the highest grade Trade Unions
in America, the National Association of
Stationary Engineers, in recognition of
his services in trying to stamp out tho
criminal and tyrannous control of af
fairs by the present misnamed Labor
Leaders (?) ai.d ti. bring the labor
movement to a more peaceful and law
ful management and therefore hack to
the respect and esteem of the public and
wipe from the sacred name of "Labor"
the odium and disgrace these trust
leaders have smeared upon it. A better
time Is coming and every honest Ameri
can can do his part to bring It about.
There's a Reason.
