Congressman's Influence at

DEMOCRAT LAUDS WORK
Success of Oregon Representative in
Aiding Harbors, Rivers, Forests,
Xatural Wonders, Widows and
Veterans Called Unique.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 3. (Special.)
Taking advantage of the absence
of- Representative W. C. Hawley.
Who has been . in .Washington, E.
C, since immediately before the
convening of Congress in Decem
ber, 1912, the opposition has been la
boring persistently to discredit his
work for Oregon and the First District.
So bold and far-reaching have be
come the efforts at misrepresentation
that a prominent member of the press
In the National capital, who resides in
Wyoming and therefore has no personal
interest in political affairs in Oregon,
but who is familiar with the work of
Representative Hawley, writes to a
friend in Oregon as follows:
Twenty Bills Recalled.
I hope the peopVi of your district will not
take any stock In the reprehensible canards
I notice are being circulated there against
Mr. Hawley. It appears to me their very
boldness, however, might cause some to
believe thenr were they not contradicted. I
have in mind particularly the story circu
lated purporting to state as a fact that Mr.
Hawley had "only passed four or five bills
out of the 100 and more he had introduced."
Z have just run over in my mind more than
20 bills by Mr. Hawley I can recall as hav
ing been enacted.
Keeping track of Mr. Hawley's' activities
in Congress for & good many years, as you
know, by personal calls at his office daily.
I have long contended that he has a record
of being one of the most successful members
of the House in the matter of getting his
bills through. I know the rivers and har
bors committee has a standing truism among
its members that "Hawley always gets what
he esks for," and the explanation is because
he never asks for unreasonable appropria
tions and always has his facts and figures
so arranged as to make the very best pos
sible presentation.
This care as to detail, coupled with a
record for absolute veracity in all his state
ments and a very pleasing personality, ac
count for his successes. His success in pub
lic land and labor legislative matters is
equally good, while there is no harder
working member on the commute on egrl
culture, or one more successful in securing
the adoption of his suggestions In making
up the big agricultural bill each year. 1
cannot believe that any considerable number
of voters will record themselves in favor
of trading off for an unknown quantity a
Representative whose long experience and
splendid standing with members in all par
ties enables him to accomplish v more real
good for his district than any new man
could hope to. accomplish in years.
Widows and Orphans Helped.
Just during the present session of
Congress Representative Hawley, mind
ful of the charge of the martyr, Presi
dent Abraham Lincoln, to take care of
the veteran, his widow and dependent
-1 1 1 1 i t- . n tiRS ( i 1 1 r m 1 tha nnssaure of 13
of his private bills for the relief of
inree wiauws OL I v n w ar vtsieraii,
one widow of a Mexican War veteran
and two invalid and dependent sons of
a veteran and eight veterans on beds
of sickness, some of them helpless and
all of them without the necessary
funds to provide for their necessities
and comforts.
But the opposition sneers at legisla
tion of this character and its candidate
was circulating an anonymous circular,
said to be in violation of the corrupt
practices act of the state, which af
firmed that only "four bills passed"
that were introduced by Mr. Hawley,
not counting legislation for. the relief
of the veteran. In which, of course, he
has no interest.
Here are 10 of Represenetative -law-ley's
bills that have been acted upon
favorably by the house committee, the
House itself or have become portions
of laws, and all of them belong to this
Congress:
R. R. 91 S3 roads and trails. Crater Lake
National Park. $73,000; S7340, general ad
ministration. H. R. 9182. roads. Crater Lake Farts
cared for by H. R. 91S3.
H. R. la.S5, fish culture stations, Colum

Hawley ttuadruplea Average.
Up to September 19. 1914, there had
been a net total of House bills and
resolutions reported during the present
Congress of 746. On the basis of the
435 members of the House, the pro
rata share of each member would be
less than two bills reported during the
present Congress. It will therefore be
seen that-Representative Hawley has
secured favorable action on more than
four times his share.
A Democratic member of the Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors in a pub
lic statement, printed in the press last
March, after the -passage of the River
and Harbor bill by the House, in which
Mr. Hawley had appropriations aggre
gating almost 91. 750.000 for 16 different
projects in his district, or 4 per cent of
the total, said:
"Of all the Congressmen who ap
peared before the River and Harbor
Committee this session to make appeals
for appropriations for waterways in
their respective districts, nono was so
well equipped with facts and figures
and none made such a favorable pres
entation of facts as Representative
Hawley of Oregon."
Coo Bay Appropriation Large.
As an example of Mr. Hawley's suc
cess in the matter of securing appro
priations for the improvement of riv
ers and harbors in the First district.
Coos Bay may be cited. The first ap
propriation made for this improvement
was secured by Richard Williams, then
representing Oregon in Congress. After
he retired from Congress he was fol
lowed by such able men as Representa
tives Whitaker, George, Hermann and
Tongue, all of whom were able men
and known to look well after the in
terests of their state.
The average appropriation secured
by these men for the improvement of
Coos Bay each year was $34,500. In
the six years in which Mr. Hawley has
had an opportunity to secure appropri
ations for Coos Bay, this year not Do
ing counted, he .has secured $543,920
for Coos Bay, which is all the engi
neers have recommended, and is an
average of 90.650 per year.
For the erection of public buildings
the maintenance of the Chemawa In
dian School and other purposes he has
secured more than $4,000,000 during his
service In the House without attempt
ing to estimate what his efforts will
secure during the present Congress.
On matters of national and interna
tional concern. Representative Hawley
has taken an active part. On March

Protest Against Speeding Ip Require

Borah Demands Stay.
BOISE, . Idaho, Oct. 4. (Special.)
One hundred and fifty railway mail
clerks, operating i and out of the
State of Idaho, today stand threatened
with dismissal from the - Poetoffice
Service by Alexander M. Stephens, gen
eral superintendent of the railway mail
service. But before Superintendent
Stephens is likely to put into effect his
order United States Senator Borah will
take a hand in the matter and probably
cause an investigation to be made into
the action that prompted the superin
tendent to make the threat. The trou
ble that affects so many Idaho mail
clerks, according to the information
given out here today, is over the so
called '"Efficiency system" which Su
perintendent Stephens has attempted to
put into effect and to which the clerks
most strenuously object.
The "Efficiecy system" is classed by
the railway mail clerks as a speed or
stopwatch system which seeks to pro
cure from postoffice employes every
ounce of energy. Senator Borah has
introduced a bill attempting to remedy
the eviL While engaged in the postal
service the speed and stopwatch sys
tem has been put on employes to ac
count for every movement they make
while handling mail and has caused
friction. It has been referred to as
the "Plus and Minus" system but the
railway mail clerks prefer to call it
the "Minus System." Superintendent
Stephens takes the attitude the mall
clerks have no right of protect and
that, because they have raised qne they
should be summarily dismissed from
the service.

Genevra, Free for Nonce,
' Finds Courteous Admirer
Newspaper's Generosity . Revives
Thirst of Poetess and Auto Halts
at City Jail.
THE path of Genevra B. Claflin, a
constant and frequent "visitor" to
the City Jail, whose photograph adorns
the gallery of the Municipal Bureau for
the Protection of Women, was consid
erably brightened last week when an
afternoon paper donated an automobile
for her exclusive use, with the result
that Genevra started on a royal spree.
It all happened when the local aft
ernoon newspaper opened a contest.
Genevra Is a writer and scribbles po
etry in jail, during her various stays,
to pay for "booze" when she gets out.
Genevra entered the 'contest, the award
of which was the free use1 of an auto
mobile, and the necessary expenses for
a "Joy ride."
Genevra won. Joy of all Joys. "I
invited Bertha Fulton, also a frequent
inmate of the city jail, and some other
friends who never rode in an 'ortermo
bile,' " said Genevra to jail attendants
upon her arrival after the auto ride,
"and we had a grand, time."
After the trip the contest winner was
again taken into custody charged with
being drunk. Judge Stevenson paroled
her.
Following is one of Genevra's
serious poems. Copies of lt have been
widely circulated and used. It and
similar ones have won $5 and $10 gold
pieces:
Uttle Ones.
God has sent these little children
He first loved them; so must you.
Ha. will guide if you but lead them
In the path that's good and true.
Train their little feet to follow
In the path that's good and rlgrht
Then they will not walk In darkness.
But in God's own heavenly light.
Teach their llpsto lisp God's praises
Reverently to speak Ills name
When they are a little older.
They'll not take his name In vain.
,
Not for us to know their future.
You can shape it "make or roar."
For the day, comes when youll answer
For it at the judgment bar.
If it be their lot to travel
Through this world of sin and strife '
Mother's prayers be ever with them
Be their guiding star through Jige.
If by sin you are unworthy.
Lift your heart To God and say:
"Teach me. Lord, that I mav better
Show my little ones the way."

turn to the Upper Willamette to con
tinue dredging, and perhaps the Cham
poeg will be recommissioned, while the
Cowlitz will be placed in service and
be sent either to the Cowlitz, Lewis or
Clatskanie rivers. On the Upper Co
lumbia and Snake operations were not
suspended, and more funds are expected
to be set aside to continue the work
throughout the season.
On the Coast the new Government
dredge Colonel P. S. Michle will be
worked on Coos Bay bar. and her crew
is beng reassembled now. The dredge
Oregon leaves Coos Bay tomorrow In
tow of the tug Printer for Grays Har
bor, and her equipment goes there on
the steamer Willapa.
Rock will again be received at Fort
Canby for distribution along the nprth
Jetty about OctoDer 10, and Dlds may
be asked for more rock, as the material
was being bought in the open market
at the time of the shutdown, the price
being $1.10 a ton. It is Intended to
work on the Jetty all Winter if weather
conditions permit, and that will be the
programme on every project, for while
it has not been indicated from Wash
ington the actual amount each district
will be allotted of $20,000,000 appro
priated in the rivers and harbors act,
lt has been the understanding when
special estimates were asked for that
all authorized projects would be con
tinued up to March 1. 1915. by which
time another rivers and harbors act is
to be passed that will probably carry
other appropriations.
The Dalles-Celilo canal was to have
been, ready for the passage of river
vessels January 1 had the lack of funds
not compelled a suspension of opera
tions, and it is believed now that
though there will be some delay be
cause of Winter conditions, the big
canal and locks will be ready for navi
gation about June 1.
The dredge Chinook will retire from
the Columbia River bar about Novem
ber 1 and will lay up for the Winter,
as she could not work at the entrance
to the river in roifgh water. But with
the jetty being continued seaward when
possible and considerable rock dumped
along the completed portion of the
tramway during the season, & material
change is looked for in the depth of
the river when the June survey is
made.
PORT MAY ASK FEDERAL AID
Bonds for Construction of Seattle
Structure Remain Unsold.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 4. (Special.)
Facing the problem of either delay
ing work on structures badly needed by
the port or disposing of its bonds at a
great loss in the present unfavorable
market, the Port Commission this
afternoon considered the advisability
of petitioning Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo asking that the Federal
Government come to the assistance of
the community.
Commissioner C. E. Remsberg said:
"In my investigation of Canadian
ports I find that it is only necessary
for the port authorities to show an in
tention of good faith to obtain-all the
money they want from the Canadian
government at 3H percent Under the
stress of the present disturbed finan
cial market it is barely possible the
Secretary of the Treasury will recom
mend favorable action on our petition
if lt is presented."
The Port Commission has received
low bids for the construction of the big
apple cold-storage warehouse, on which
is dependent the halibut cold-storage
warehouse. Both these structures are
badly -needed at this time.

EVEN CROSS, SICK
CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
If Feverish, Bilious, Constipated,
Give Fruit Laxative at
Once.
Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See ft tongue is coated; this ia a
sure sigrn its little stomach, liver and
bowels are clowned with sour waste.
When listless, pale, feverish, full of
cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stoni-ache-ache,
indigestion, diarrhoea, give
a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs." and in a few-hours all the foul
waste, the sour bile and fermenting
food passes out of the bowels and you
have a well and playful u. in -
Children love this harmless "fruit
laxative." and mothers can rest easy
after giving it, because it never fails
to make their little "insides" clean
and sweet.
Keep it handy. Mother! . A little
given today saves a sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs," which has
directions for babies, children of ail
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Kemember there are counter
feits sold here, to surely look and see
that yours is made by the "California,
Fig Syrup Company." Hand back
with contempt any other fig syrup.
