NO GOOD WOULD RESULT Wets" ijr AUornry lllnthaw Seeks Notoriety hjr Content With Able Aotl - Prohibition 'aker. Widened Ilreac-h Avoided. H. C. McAllister, general manager of the Greater Oregon Home Rule As sociation, decline to accept the chal lenge of J. P. Newell, chairman of the executive committee of the Prohibition party, to debate one of the association's paakrr agalnet Virgil O. Htnshaw, representing the Prohibitionist. There hsa not been a meeting of the ProbtbltlonUta In the city since the rinpalcn to make Oregon "dry" began that challenges have not been hurled at the anti-Prohlbltlonlita to dehate. Raxly la the campaign an official challenge was lnufd from the "dry" headquarters to debste -oa the merits of ths Greater Oregon Home Rule As sociation's local option bill, but th chal lenge aa rot accepted. The only men who have debated on state prohibition during the present campaign are Ir. Clarence. True Wilson and E. Hofer. The latest challenge to debate was Lined by Chairman Jewell September JO. In declining the preferred word contest. Mr. McAllister last night said: "In my opinion the only one who would benefit by a debate with Mr. ICInshaw. who styles himself an attor ney, would be Mr. Illnshaw. To place our learned and noted speakers In a word contest with Mr. Ilinshaw would be equivalent to recognition of equal ity that does not exist. Almost any struggling attorney who wants to build up a practice or any man who desires to be In the public eye for monetary gain or notoriety would only be too glad to Jump at the chance to appear in pub lic against such men as .Mr. Rose. Mr. Darrow. Mr. Wesson or Mr. Story for the free advertisement he would set out of It. "These men are brought to Oregon at great expense to the Greater Ore gon Home Rule Association. They are men of brains, education and ability, and have National reputations as pub lic speakers who really have something to say. I believe the average cltlsen of Oregon would much prefer to hear them speak without interruption, if the Prohibitionists will permit them, than listen to a controversy between two men on noted for bis brilliancy and thought, and the other an unknown quantity to say nothing about quality. "These debates accomplish nothing, anyway, even when men of equal strength are pitted "against each other. Roth sides go to the debate with their minds made up. prejudice aroused and determined that they shall not be con vinced. Both sides drum up all of their staunchest supporters in an at. tempt to pack the meeting. The result is that the breach is widened, the con test becomes more bitter and friends differing: in opinion become avowed enemies. No good Is done for either side by the debate, but It usually re sults In harm. "Perhaps It would be better for me to decUne the challenge to debate by referring my Prohibition friends to Proverbs nv.l, which reads: "'Debate thy cause with thy neigh bor himself.'

Plan Under Way to Induce Fanners to Go More Extensively Into Raising of Porkers. Prompted by the fact that live hogs In enormous numbers are annually Im ported Into .the Northwest, as well as hundreds of carloads of cured meats, a conference of heads of Government ex periment stations, agricultural and In dustrial experts and railway officials will be held In Spokane, commencing today, to consider ways and means of Inducing the farmers of Oregon. Wash ington. Idaho and Montana to go more extensively Into the raising of hogs. C. C. Chapman, manager of the Port land Commercial Club's promotion de partment, and D. O. JMvely. general agent of the Portland Union Stockyards Company, left last slight for Spokane to attend the meetings. It Is contended that hogs of equal quality to the corn-fed product of the East can be produced In the North western states, and It Is proposed to tart a campaign of education to per suade farmers that this Is a fact. Dr. W'lthycombe. director of the Oregon experiment station. Is authority for the statement that hogs can be grown and fattened on alfalfa, field peas and clo ver, and finished on mill feed with prof It. producing pork of quality equal to that of Eastern corn-fed hogs. The real object of the conference Is to keep within the Northwestern states the vast sums of money which annual ly go to the Eastern states In payment for hogs and cured meats. Expert say that farmers are miss ing an opportunity to reap a golden harvest In not going more extensively Into the producing of pork. Lest year as high as 111.25 a hundred was paid In the Portland markets for first-class live hogs, and the supply at these prices was not nearly sufficient to keep the packing plant of the state In operation, necessitating the bring ing of many tralnloads of live hogs from the Eastern states.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. Payment of prisoners according to their Industry, to insure protection for their families and their own rehabilitation on release, was recommended to the International Prison Congress today by the section on "pre ventative means." The resolution provoked heated discus- sion in the Congress, not because the principle of caring for the families of prisoners was opposed, but because it was not worded as to apply to several countries. Including the United States, where prisoners ars unable, under the existing law, to earn anything. A resolution favoring productive work for prisoners including those in houses of correction and county Jails was adopted. Secretary Meyer Coming West. ST. PAUL. Oct. 3.
