Silrerton, pioneer among the cities of
Oregon to co-operate with the Asso
ciated Charities of Portland in the fresh
Hir movement, welcomed yesterday Its
Jrst party of fresh air children, and
announced that it wanted another party
to be organized and sent early in
August.
One might have taken it for a "home
coming week- celebration from the
demonstration at the depot when the
fresh air train arrived, according to
R. E. Arne, of the Associated Charities,
who accompanied the party to Silver
ton and who telephoned news of their
arrival to Secretary V. R. Manning last
night. Many of the 42 children were
guests in Silverton in the fresh air sea
son last year, and their delight at wel
coming their Silverton friends again
was unbounded.
Advance Gnard la Surprise.
The great surprise of the trip was
the discovery that a fresh air party of
six children had gone on ahead of the
regular party, quite unknown to the
Associated Charities. They were chil
dren who had been in the excursion
last year and who feared that they
might not be sent back to their friends
In Silverton this season. So some way.
by hook or crrook. they raised the
money, and surprised the people of Sil
verton by arriving unexpected and un
prepared for on Monday night
Their enterprise was rewarded, how
ever, for places were quickly found by
friends who had entertained them the
j car before.
One woman at the depot had not In
tended to take anyone from the fresh
air party, but when she saw one of the
mothers of the party carrying a tiny
babv, she instantly announced her in
tention of taking her and the baby.
Just as the train pulled into the
station, one little fellow jumped off
the steps and sped down the street,
disregarding all commands from those
in charge. The woman to whose care
he had been assigned, and who had
entertained him on the preceding year,
was at the station to meet him. A
search disclosed him sitting on her
front doorstep. waiting for her to
come home.
Mrs. John Wolford, chairman of the
committee, had been ill, but in spite
of that she came to the depot to assist
in placing the children after their ar
rival. Mrs. C. W. Keene gave her auto
mobile and the services of her chaf
feur to carry the children to the houses
to which they had been assigned. Other
members of the committee were there
to assist.
Departure Is Exciting.
The scenes of the departure from
Portland in the morning were almost
as exciting as those of the arrival in
Silverton.
When Mr. Manning reached the head
quarters of the Associated Charities,
an hour hefore the time for the train
to leave, he found that the greater
part of the crowd of children had been
there for hours waiting for him. Crowd
after crowd of children was whisked
away to the depot In the car and the
taxicab donated for the day by A. R.
Roberts, of the Oregon Taxicab Com
pany. One little fellow's mother had
not appeared. Finally, the last load
had gone, and the newsboy was giv
ing way to despairing tears, when his
mother aopeared. hastening along, with
the baby bundled up under her arm
like a papoose, and the three dashed
away to catch the train..
Mrs. M. H. Whltehouse, chairman of
the clothing committee, was at head
quarters to assist, and Miss Hazel Dolph
donated the use of her car.
Contributions to the fresh-air fund
are mounting up more rapidly than Mr.
Manning expected, and it Is now
thought that the J1000 mark will be
passed before Friday. Employes of the
Merchants National Bank circulated a
list yesterday, each -subscribing 50
cents.
Those on the list for the fund were:
S. C. Catching. James J. Sayer. F. O.
Bates. George L. Burke. A. R. Ives. M.
M. Young. W. W. Knack, Matt Harris,
R. M. Perry, Fred Selberg, F. U.

Newsies Victims of Demand

Agents Who Control Street Sales Set
Rigid Ralea for Boys Who "Hold
Down" Corners.
EVEN the "care-fre'e newsboy" if he
is care-free, us is by some popu
larly supposed has not been able to
escape from the mill of system, which
has become the great efficiency pro
ducing deity of the 20th century.
A manifesto has been issued by
those controlling the street circulation
of the evening papers which puts the
newsboy on a basis of system as rigid
as that which controls a transconti
nental railway. v
The newsle henceforth will be re
quired to be right up to snuff and to
fit into his particular groove without
any friction, or according to the proc
lamation his professional head will
come off In a twinkling.
No more "free lancing" about where
sales promise Dest. ne jjiusi outa .
his allotted corner. No more working
until he has the price of a ticket to
the movies and then leaving his beat
to take care of itself. No more ex
cuses of sickness, unless there Is a sub
stitute on his corner who can sell as
many papers as he.
The manifesto over the signatures
of the controllers of the street sales on
the Telegram, Journal and News, who
are Artie Sussman. Paul Schnelderman
and Phil Polsky, went Into etfect last
week.
On the surface it looks as though it
might be the street paper sales bud
ding out into a healthy young local
trust in spite of the well-known senti
ment of the administration against
"combinations in restraint of trade,"
but the issuers of the manifesto main
tain that it is an order issued solely
"for the good of the service."
"There has been too much monkeying
around em the corners," says the pre
amble to their proclamation, which
continues as follows: "Newspaper sell
ing is like any other business. You
must keep on the go to make a suc
cess of it. Most of the boys have been
coining down town whenever they felt
like It, and leaving the same way, with
nobody to take care of their corner.
As soon as they make enough money to
go to some show or the ball game they
are satisfied. We are going to cut out
this class of boys at once, and put boys
on their corners who hustle and make
good use of their profits by taking
them home to their parents. We are
tired of doing business with that class
of boys, ir you want to play, stay at
home."

O.-W. H. .1 . EXCURSION.
Camera Catches E. R- Bndd In Midst
of Happy 1 "t of YonDgitera, Guests
of Railroad On River Trip.
The ride on the good ship "Happi
ness" with its attendant feast of pop
corn, red lemonade, candy and Ice
cream cones was not the only delight
of the 700 children, who were the
guests of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. on the
steamer T. J. Potter In an all-day ride
down the river Monday. When the kid
dies hove in sight on the way back
home a moving-picture operator on
Ash-street dock kept the youngsters
In the focus of his camera until they
landed. Then each group of merry
plcknickers was photographed as they
filed down the gangplank.
The children found such delight in
having the moving-picture machine
trained on them and their antics that
the operator had -to stop turning the
crank every now and then so that the
film would not contain the picture of
only one group of happy children.
The final picture taken shows E. R.
Budd, superintendent of the O.-W. R.
& N. Co. water lines, right in the midst
of the happy lot of lively youngsters.
Captain Budd has made arrangements
toobtain the film and plans to exhibit
it next Summer at the various chil
dren's homes in the city before the
annual O.-W. R. & N. outing to give
the youngsters an inkling of the great
time In store for them when J. D. Far-
rell, president of the O.-W. R. & N. Co.,
Is their "daddy" for a day. The pic
tures were exhibited at the Empress
Theater last night as an extra attrac
tion and will form a part of the pro
gramme for the remainder of the week.

Behind the scenes Napoleon plays with his master's little daugh

They enjoy each other's dolls and candy; they romp through the

Charles B. Moores Answers
BuH Moose Criticism.
REPUBLICAN GAINS CITED
Oregon Will Elect R. A. Booth to
Senate and Voters Are Not to
Be Diverted From Real
Issues, Is Assertion.
T. B. Neuhausen. Progressive state
chairman, in a statement printed In The
Oregonlan of Sunday, criticised Captain
Macgenn. of Marshfield, the head of the
Progressive organization in Coos Coun
ty, for declaring his intention to return
to the Republican ranks and vote for
R. A. Booth for United States Senator.
He characterized Captain Macgenn as
"a poet and a poor politician," and said
that the Senatorial race was between
Hanley and Chamberlain, and that the
bulk of the Progressives would prefer
Chamberlain to Booth. He closed by
declaring that "since Wilson's confer
ence with the big business men times
are going to improve.
Charles B. Moores, Republican state
chairman, takes exceptions. Me sajs.
Xfiihauscn is a fine fellow, but he is
neither a noet nor a politician, tie is a
humorisL He doesn t know the proces
sion has eone bv and thinks the Bull
Moosers are still doing business. Months
ago he told us that an organization of
the Progressive party was to oe per
fected in everv precinct in the state,
but there were more precincts than Pro
gressives, and in half the counties of
the state there were not enough Pro-o-roKKives
to make a quorum at a week
ly Bull Moose luncheon in the Oregon
grill. The party has Deen orgamzeu iu
death and there is nothing left of it
but the officers and the candidates.
"Bill Hanley Not Fooled."
"As for Bill Hanley, he is simply
away from the big 'P' ranch on a vaca
tion. His candidacy is not taaen seri
ously anywhere. There is not an in
telligent voter in the state, familiar
with existing conditions, who does not
know that he Is not a factor in the
race at all. They are not even fooling
Bill Hanley.
"The recent registration snowea oniy
three Progressives in Wheeler County,
six in Gilliam, eight in Sherman ana
ten in Curry County, m only ix coun
ties of the state are there more than
100 of them. In only four counties are
there more than 200 of them and, out
side of Multnomah, there is not a single
county that has more than 300 of them.
From a vote of 37, B00, in isj:, uiev
have dwindled down to a registration
of only 6235, while the Republican vote
of 34,673, in 1912, has increased until
the registration list now shows 134,-
697. In Pennsylvania the KepuDiican
strength has increased since 1912 from
273,860 to 681,485, while the Progressive
strength has dwindled from 444,894 to
114,611. In California, where two years
ago Governor Johnson denied the Re
publicans even a place on the ballot,
the Republican registration now leaas
the Progressive registration by nearly
200,000. In New York the Republicans
have gained 150,000, while the Bull
Moosers have lost nearly 200,000. No
wonder the party leaders from every
section are urging Teddy not to run
for Governor of that state. In New
Jersey, Maryland, Missouri, Maine,
Nebraska and' North Dakota, all along
the line, it is the same story.
Voters Understand, He Says.
"In spite of what Mr. Neuhausen says,
the voters everywhere understand the
situation. Non-partisan bunk no long
er goes. They want results. In the
boost he gives Senator Chamberlain and
the Wilson Administration he is con
firming the prevalent belief that Mr.
Hanlay -fcas been set up simply as a
'stalking horse' for Senator Chamber
lain, and that the remnant of the Pro
gressive party is- now being Held to
gether for the sole purpose of per
petuating Democratic control. Captain
Macgenn and hundreds of thousands of
other Progressives are flocking to the
Republican standard as a protest against
methods of this kind. They have tired
of the continual attempts of dis
gruntled politicians to use the party or
ganization as an instrument to gratify
personal animosities. They have even
accepted Senator Penrose In Pennsyl
vania as a protest against the malignity
of the opinionated Pinchot, whom Pen
rose beat in the recent primaries by a
vote of nearly 6 to L Voters have lost
all patience lth a party that is con
tinually howling about Penrose, and
Barnes, and, Root, and Lodge, and
Crane, while hugging to its bosom dis
credited political derelicts like Bever
idge and McCormick; trust magnates
like Munsey and Perkins, Indicted law
breakers like Hanna, and rotten politi-
I
cal bosses of the type of Cecil Lyon In
Texas, and the notorious Bill Flynn, of
Pittsburg.
"Good Times Not Expected."
."The voters of Oregon do not believe
that the foreign, and domestic policies
of the Wilson Administration are to
bring us good times, or that Mr. Hanley
is showing any affection for the 'plain
people,' as Mr. Neuhausen suggests, in
supporting Wilson In his opposition to
free tolls and his championship of free
trade. There are a lot of plain people'
in Oregon In the poultry and dairy busi
ness. There are a lot of 'plain people'
who have lost their jobs in the Oregon
City mills, where there is some machin
ery idle for the first time in 25 years.
There are a lot of 'plain people' who
have lost their jobs In the shingle and
logging camps. There are thousands of
'plain people' in Portland who are wor
ried over their inability to hold their
jobsand to pay their rent and to meet
the monthly installments on their
homes. The champion of the 'plain peo
ple' who supports the" Wilson policies
will have a busy campaign explaining
to them why the cost of living has not
been reduced as promised, and how
they are to profit by free tolls, and
Canadian lumber, and Australian mut
ton, and New Zealand butter, and Chi
nese eggs, and corn from Argentina and
Manchuria.
"The free-trade doctrinaires who have
so long been howling about the iniqui
ties of tho robber tariff are now In
the saddle. The plain people, whom
they love so much, and whose votes
they crave, are asking for an ex
planation of existing conditions, and
their craving for information is not to
be gratified by any stilted lectures on
psychology, or by hearing some one de
nounced as a standpatter or a calamity
howler, or by giving them an invitation
to go out and count the automobiles on
Sandy boulevard.
"President Great Scholar."
"We have a great Bcholar and patriot
in the White House. If he could do
business as well as he can talk, we
would all be happy and prosperous, for
he is a master of the Kings isnglisn.
He can dress up truisms and platitudes
that everybody accepts in the most fin
ished and scholarly phrases. He can
deliver eulogiums on our dead sailor
boys, and tajk with entrancing elo
quence about the necessity of adapting
the Declaration of Independence to
present conditions, and through it all
interlard copious compliments for the
unselfish courage and wisdom of the
present occupant of the White House,
while every Democratic politician and
office holder in the country clasps his
hands, rolls back his eyes like a dying
calf, and exclaims 'Beautiful! Beautiful!'
but none of these scholarly phrases
butter any parsnips, and all these assur
ances that good times are just ahead
have not filled a single dinner pail, or
given a single laborer an additional day
of employment.
"The voters of Oregon are not to be
diverted from the real Issues of the
campaign. They have tried out all the
Democratic promises and have been dis
appointed in all. It is only through the
White House and the two Houses of
Congress that we can apply tha reme
dies that are needed to cure the exist
ing business depression. In the whole
of the last 60 years the country has
never been able to endure a Democratic
Administration for more than four
years at a time. Oregon will start the
ball in November by electing Robert A.
Booth to the United States Senate, and
thus do her part in assisting to hold up
the hands of the Republican President
who, backed by a Republican House and
Senate, is to resume business at the
White House in 1916.
"This is a Republican year."

day Halsey-Street Extension Crwx.
True to their promise, members of
the African M. B. Zion Church com
menced work yesterday on the excava
tion for their proposed new church at
East First and Halsey streets, in spite
of protests of neighboring property
owners, who are objecting to the church
and are trying to prevent it by rushing
proceedings for the extension of Halsey
street through the church property.
At a recent meeting between property
owners and City Engineer Dater the
owners opposed the large assessment
district which was designed to bear the
cost of the Halsey-street extension
through the property. As a result the
extension seemed uncertain. The ne
groes, insisting they must have a place
to worship, announced that they would
start work Tuesday if the property
owners did not get together on the
street extension plan. True 'to their
word, work began yesterday. Property
owners, on tho other hand, started the
telephone wires tohe City Hall hum
ming to see if the negroes could not
be stopped. There was no way of
stopping them, it was learned. More
street extension developments are ex
pected today.
