John F. Logan Back From Tour

Ins- the trusts and other lllrfcal com
blnattons In restraint of trade through

helping his chances of re-election de
clared John y. Loen. who with lira.
Logan returned yesterday via Califor
nia from a five weeks" tour of the Kast.
Including New York. Boston. Chicago,
Baltimore. Washington and St. Louis.
"Three years ago the. attitude of
President Taft against the trusts would
have been received with applause
throughout the Touutry." said ilr.
IjOgan. "Today It Is opposed by the
business elementa of the Hast because
of the claim that It hurts business on
one hand and by politicians becaruse It
Injurea the prospects of party success
on the other.
This Is demonstrated by Roosevelt's
recent article In The Outlook, show
ing him to be a discriminating poli
tician along lines of patriotism In 107
when he Indorsed the absorption of the
Tennessee Coal Company by the steel
trust and granted Morton Immunity for
railroad rebating. The opposition to
President Taft Is also shown on the
Democratic side by the quarrel between
Martin Littleton, representing moneyed
New York, and the muckraking ele
ment of the IVmocrattc party now In
the sd He by means of House Inves
tigating committees.
Taft Is o fartlaL
"The only difference between Presi
dent Tft and his predecessors Is that
he treats all crimes alike. He treats
the commercial trusts of the Kast with
the same non-respect of persons as
Koosevelt did the land-fraud trusts of
the West. To President Taft a crimi
nal breach of the law Is a crime, but
It la nothing more, no matter In what
section of the country It takes place
or who perpetrates It.
"Roosevelt was a discriminating poli
tician. Taft Is an un!lscrlmlnatlng
judge. He Is, too, a scholar, too emt-
nent a Jurist and too broad-minded
executive to be a successful politician.
Ills work appeals to the thoughtful
citizen, but not to the party manager
or strict party adherent. Like Clevef
land's Administration, the Administra
tion of President Taft will grow In
perspective.
"President Taft Is opposed by the
big Intcreets In both th Republican
and Democratic parties. The- same ele
merit l.'iat is opposing him In tlie Re
puHlran party as Republicans Is op
rosinir the law-enforcement e-lement of
tne Komocratic party as Le.mocrats
and fur like reasons. Their prophet Is
Martin Littleton.
Aatl-Tniat Record Made.
"It was all right for President Taft
to prosecute the Northern Securities
Company In a civil suit, but th min
ute he assailed other combinations that
are peculiar to the East, and when the
outcome of these prosecutions will re
sult in fines and Imprisonment, then
a cry goes up. Therein i resident Taft
is deficient as a politician In the pres
ent, but will gro as a statesman In
the future. Mora civil suits, actions
and criminal proceedings have been
Bled against trusts under President
Taft than In the other 1) years the
Sherman anti-trust law has beep on
the statute books.
"The same Interests that are op
posing the re-election of President Taft
really want Governor Harmon elected
to tha Presidency. Harmon was tried
as a member of Cleveland's cabinet
and as Attorney-General was found
safe and dependable as those terms
are defined In the hell-broth of Wall
street.
"There Is nothing In the report that
Roosevelt will be a candidate before
tha Republican National convention
for President- Roosevelt received an
awful Jolt In New York last year and
his enemies are coming back Into pow
er In that state. In the meantime, he
la making peace with his enemies and
making every preparation to become
the party's standard bearer In 11.
Nobody haa seen anything In Roose
velt's recent statements that he la not
a candidate for President which give
the allghtest Intimation that he will
not be a candidate four years hence.
La Kelletle Oat ef It.
"The contest for President next year
will be between President Taft and
Harmon, who Is almost certain to be
the r democratic nominee. La Follette
Is not seriously considered as a candi
date for the Republican nomination in
the Kast. The opposition to him from
the financial and business Interests
that are fighting Taft Is even greater
than against Taft At the same time
Taft la especially strong with the peo
ple In the Kast. Whatever strength
La Follette haa Is In the Middle West."
Mr. Logan reports that business con
ditions generally throughout tha East
are good. Indicating a decided Improve
ment over the conditions that prevailed
a few weeks ago. lie says there la
every prospect for a complete resump
tion of business In all sections of tha
country with the beginning of 1S11.
"There Is a great Inquiry about Ore
gon over all the Kast." reports Mr.
Logan, "ami there Is no denying -the
fsct that this state Is truly coming
Into Its on. The state Is well adver
tised and the Intending homeseeker Is
looking Oregon-ward. Enter a fruit

Instead of shipping them East to be

"Eastern manufacturers are aware
of this, as I learned In visiting the

The sale of a pile of broken brass
watercocks and pieces of lead" plpa
by Cornelius Murphy, head of the
meter division of the city Water De
partment, may result In Murphy being
discharged and a general Investiga
tion of the workings of the-Water De
partment may be ordered by Mayor
Rushlight.
Detectives who have been keeping
tab on Murphy and others of the de
partment for some time, made their
report to the Mayor several days ago
when Murphy sold a load of Junk to J
Leve. a Junk dealer or 18 Columma
street. Murphy waa called to the
Mayor's office and asked about the
transaction. He admitted that he sold
the Junk, but declsred that he only
acted for men under htm who have
gathered the pieces of brass and lead
during the last few months with the
express Intention of getting a little
extra money for Christmas. He de
clared that he did not get a cent out
of the transaction.
33 Refund Proposed.
On - being Informed by the Mayor
that the transaction waa not proper.
Murphy offered to turn In the money
amounting to about 232. He raid the
Junk did not belong to the city, but
was taken from service connections
which were paid for and maintained by
the' property owners. He said the
gathering of the Junk by the men pre
vented lta collection by boys.
Mayor Rushlight said yesterday the
transaction looked much like graft
to hiin. although he Intended making
an Investigation before taking any
action.
"The fact Is that the Junk was taken
and sold by Murphy." said the Mayor.
"He admits It and If he didn't admit
It. we would have meana of proving.
Superintendent Dodge of the Water
Department says he considers Murphy
thoroughly honest and does not be
lieve he Intended Kny fraud In selling
the Junk.
"I do not believe he has been guilty
of dishonesty." said Mr. Dodge. "It
was purely foolishness on his part to
sell the Junk without looking at the
question of right or wrong, but as far
as graft Is concerned, 1 do not be
lieve It Is graft."
Besides denying the accusations 01

plaint to be a "political frameup."
"Mavor Rushlight Is an Intimate

Murphy." and Gray. I believe. Influ

Superintendent Doagm says ne ooes
not Intend to bring charges against
Murphry because he does not believe

says If there are any charges to be
filed, the Mayor Is the proper official to
file them. The Mayor It Is understood,

It was not necessary for Dave Fuller,
night Jailer, to let the prisoners out of
their cells Into the corridor of the sec
tion of the new jail constructed by the
Stewart Iron Works, of Cincinnati, at
the Courthouse yesterday morning.
They were already out and explained to
Fuller that they had managed to
"shoot" the bolts by throwing their
weight against the doors.
Perry Hunter, day Jailer, came on
duty a short time later and investigat
ed. The men offered also to go through
the' Inner door, which still stood be
tween them and freedom. Hunter told
them to go ahead, as he wanted to
know If the Jail was as Imperfect as
they declared. Three or four of the
prisoners pulled the door sideways and
a few of the others threw their weight
against its center. It opened. Examining
It, Hunter found a bolt about an Inch
long very little of which caught In the
socket of the steel Jcmb. Without watt
ing to ask them to try their skill on
the only remaining door. Hunter at
once reported to Sheriff Stevens.
County Judge Cleeton said yesterday
that Architect Whldden, In charge of
the construction of the Courthouse, had
tested the Jail last week and had sub
mined a report in which it was ap
proved. All that remains to be done
Is to place the bar-locking apparatus
In place. The bar-lock Is Intended only
to add double security.
Mr. Whldden visited the County Com
missioners yesterday afternoon and
said that the Jail would be satisfactory
with a few changes. Judge Cleeton
said that the work will be accepted
when such changes as may be designat
ed have been made.
"I certainly am thankful that all our

CITY CAN'T PREFER UNIONS
Attorney Grant. Holds Contractors
Mar Hire a They See Fit.
The city cannot require a contractor
to employ union labor in the perform
ance of city work, nor can the city
grant printing contracts exclusively to
union snops, unless they axe the lowest
bidders, declared City Attorney Grant
In a written opinion yesterday. Mr.
Grant says the practice has been held
Illegal In many states where ordinances
requiring union labor have been passed.
He says he believes It would be held Il
legal by the courts of Oregon, In that
It Is class legislation.

Clyde requiring all city-printing to bear

Ycmr Hair Looks Soft, Fluffy,
Lustrous and Abundant After
a Danderine Hair Cleanse.
Immediate? Tea. Certain? that's
the Joy of It. Tour hair becomes light,
wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as
soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young
girl's after a Danderine hair cleanse.
Just try this moisten a cloth with a
little Danderine and carefully draw It
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This will cleanse the
hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and
In Just a few moments you have dou
bled the beauty of your hair.
I
A delightful surprise awaits, par
ticularly those who have been careless,
whose hair has been neglected or Is
scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or 'thin.
Besides beautifying the hair, Dander
ine dissolves every particle of dandruff;
cleanses, purifies and Invigorates the
scalp, forever stopping Itching and fall
ing hair.
Try as you will, you cannot find any
dandruff or a loose or falling hair and
your scalp will never Itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks' use of Danderine, when you
will actually see new hair fine and
downy at first yes but really new
hair sprouting all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair, and lots
of It: surely get a 25-cent bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store or toilet counter and Just try it.
Pianola Pianos SS a Month
All Shall Be Sold or Rented Before the Holidays, No Matter What the Sacrifice
yV vTT Viral ''N
THE PIANOLA PIANO was considered the very best Player Piano up to some tune ago. But the many
improvements developed in the Antopiano have relegated the other instrument far to the rear. There are
now more than twice as many Autopianos sold than all other makes of Player Pianos combined.
WE HAD TO CHOOSE between the Autopiano and the instrument made by the combine. We should have
been guilty of faithlessness to the interests of the thousands of people who buy of us annually, the people
who repose confidence in us, if we had not decided in favor of the Autopiano.
WE ARE NOW DETERMINED to get rid of all Pianola Pianos, no matter what the sacrifice. By
advertising these instruments and offering them for sale as "second-hand" we are not compelled to
adhere to the high prices that the combine asks, but we have the right to sell them at any reduction
in price that we see fit. Thus it is that all Pianola Pianos, including the latest improved types, are
ticketed as "second-nana ' in our salesrooms.
Our Special Offer
Pianola Pianos, as heretofore advertised, on payments of $8 a month.
Remember there are no extras. Get Pianola Piano at $8 a month,
and if, at any time within a year, you determine you do not want it,
send it back, or apply payments made toward your choice of any
Player Piano. " . i
Nothing could be fairer nothing more liberal. On this basis we
ought to dispose of every Pianola Piano in our establishment before
the Holidays.

the City Attorney, as is also the hope
of the labor unions of Portland that the
Pennsylvania Steel Company could be
required to employ union labor In the
construction of Broadway bridge.
Mr. Grant holds that the city charter
requires the work to be let to the low
st responsible bidder. This applies to
printing aa well as all other classes of
work, he declares, and makes It op
tional with the contractor to employ
labor as he sees fit, as long as the
workmanship and the material meet
specifications.
