I have been compelled to listen to the muttorlngs, vaporlngs and unbellevlngs of men down there In the street, underneath my window, men who don't believe In God. and who are unscientific In their ressonlng: men who denounce, tha country. I have folt sometimes like going down and telling them. 'If you don't Ilka this wonderful Vnited States of America you had bet ter get on a tramp ateamer and go to Africa and stay there." "I have a profound Intereet in the laboring man. and In all humanity. I am saying nothing, however, against the rank and file of men who stand around In astonishment at these mut terlngs of anarchy they hrar on the i street. "When. In a sense, the life of the Re public Is at stake: when we are facing the parting of tlio w: ys In this coun try: when. In some respects, we are facing an economic revolution, there Is need that men face squarely tha re quirements of their own character de velopment. There la need for men of absolute Integrity. "I get atck and tired of these men who go about patting themselves on the back and saying. 1 don't smoke swear or use Intoxicating liquor. I am a pretty good fellow.'

The New Here First lCiS The Best Always "DHYST-WILL 0ECI0E Question of Placing Ticket in Field to Be Considered. CONVENTION IS MARCH 13 State. Prohibition Advocates Will Meet In Portland and Deter ml ne Course Series of Debates Scheduled. Whether to nominate full state and county tickets with candidates of their own political faith or to Indorse can didates of other parties who advocate the same principles Is the important Issue awaiting; determination by the Prohibition state convention when it assembles In Portland at the Taylor street Methodist church Wednesday. March 13. The original date fixed for the con vention was February 29. but a post ponement was ordered to enable the cold water advocates to carry out some pre-conventlon plans of-an educational character. Debates to Ba Gives. In the meantime, anti-liquor voters of the state, more particularly In West ern Oreron, are to be enlightened on the issue respecting: the nomination or can didates in a series of debates between Eugene W. Chafln. of Chicago. Prohi bition candidate for President In 1908, and J. F. Burke, of Portland, superin tendent of the Anti-Saloon Leagrue. Members of the Anti-Saloon Leagrue advocate the non-partisan plan of bringing; out candidates for public of fice as the most direct means under present conditions of attaining; results In dealing with the liquor problem. They would have the temperance forces give their indorsement to those candi dates in either of the other parties who would give the assurance that they believed In and would support leg islation desired by the Prohibitionists for eliminating the liquor traffic. Opposed to this view, it is the con tention of the Prohibitionists that the license system Is entirely wrong in principle and should not be tolerated, They affirm that the only way to treat with the "demon rum is to elect tried and true Prohibitionists to office and then enact and enforce the legislation that is necessary to put the saloons out of business. Cbafla Favors Parry Work. This Is the view taken by Mr. Cbafin, who has been devoting a month to the cause of temperance in Oregon. Mr, Chafln contends that it is useless to Initiate so great a reform as that pro posed by the Prohibition party without giving the movement the Indorsement and substantial backing of a party or ganization. The Multnomah County Prohibition convention on February II discussed at considerable length a resolution in structing the state convention to nom inate full state and county tickets and concentrate its efforts towards rehabil itating the party organization in this state. The resolution was directly op posed to the practice of Prohibitionists throwing their support to the candi dates representing the other political parties. With slight amendments, the resolution was adopted. . Although not a delegate to the convention, Mr. Chaf ln, who attended, gave the resolution bis approval.
