THE 3IORXIXG OREGON IAN, 3IONDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1914.
WILSON DEFENDS
HIS PARTY'S ACTS
President Says Demccrats Are
Only Effective Instru
i ment at Hand.
"TEAM-WORK" COMMENDED
tetter Written to Underwood as In
dorsement ot All Democratic
Members In Lieu of Speeches
I He Would Like to Make.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. President
Wilson made puDlic today a letter to
Majority Leader Underwood,- of the
House, in which he reviewed the
achievements of, his Administration
outlined the programme for the next
cession of Congress, and declared "the
democratic party is now In fact the
only instrument ready to the country's
hand by which anything can be ac
complished." The President wrote the letter as an
Indorsement of all Democratic mem
bers of Congress in lieu of speeches
he said he would like to make in
every Congressional district. He pre
dicted victory for his party in the
election because "every thoughtful
man sees that a change of parties
3ust now would set the clock back, not
forward'," and because "a practical na
tion is not likely to reject such a
team, full of the spirit of public serv
ice, and substitute, in the midst of
great tasks, either a party upon which
a. deep demoralization has fallen, or a
party which has not grown to a
stature that would warrant its assum
ing the responsible burdens of state."
Business to Be "Set Free."
The legislative programme begun
during the present Congress was de
clared by the President to have been
begun "to destroy private control and
set business free." He said that the
people of the country had been served
by this Congress as "they have never
been served before."
Outlining- the work already accom
plished, Mr. Wilson mentioned the re
form of the tariff, the passage of the
new currency bill, the anti-trust bills
and the handling of foreign problems.
He said he doubted if "there has ever
been a finer exhibition of teamwork
or of unhesitating devotion to the ful
fillment of party pledges."
Praising the new tariff bill, the Pres
ident asserted that "private control had
shown its sinister face on every hand
in America, had shown- it for a long
time, and some times brazenly, in
the trusts, and in the virtual domina
tion of credit by small groups of men."
He said that high prices did not spring
directly from the tariff, but out of the
suppression of competition, which
flourished more easily under toe pro
tection of a high tariff. He declared
i that the panic which opponents of the
new bill predicted had not come and
that despite the European .war there
had been sufficient time to prove the
success of the act.
Monopoly's Destruction Promised.
The trade commission bill and the
Clayton anti-trust bill were spoken of
as designed to "make men in a small
way of business as free to succeed
as men in a big way, and to kill
monopoly in the seed." He added that
''monopolies are built up by unfair
methods of competition." which would
be eliminated by the new legislation.
"Monopoly is to be cut oft at the roots,"
he declared.
"If our party were to be called upon
to name the particular point of prin
ciple in which it differs from its op
ponents most sharply and in which it
feels itself most definitely sustained
by experience," continued the Presi
dent, "we should no doubt say that it
was this: That we would have no
dealings with monopoly, but reject it
altogether; while our opponents were
ready to adopt it into the realms of
law and seek merely to regulate it and
moderate it in its operation. It is our
purpose to destroy monopoly and
maintain competition as the only ef
fectual instrument of business liberty.'
Justice has been done the laborer,
declared the President, and his labor is
no longer to be treated as if it "were
merely an inanimate object of com
niorce disconnected from the fortunes
and happiness of a living human being,
to be dealt with as an object of sale
barter."
Democracy of Credit" Created.
Of the currency bill, Mr. Wilscn said:
"We have created a democracy of
credit such as has never existed in
this country before." He declared
that "credit is now at the disposal of
every man who can show energy and
assets." and because control of the sys
tem rests with the Government, said
"It is pelf-government as well as dem
ocracy."
It was impossible to complete rural
credit legislation, the letter added, but
the Federal reserve act itself "facili
tates and enlarges agricultural credit
to an extraordinary degree."
Speaking -of the programme for the
next session of Congress, the President
mentioned legislation for building up
the American merchant marine and
the completion of a great programme
for the conservation of our natural
resources and the development of the
water power -of the country."
"Without a Congress in close sym
pathy with the Administration." wrote
the President, "a whole scheme of
peace and honor and disinterested serv
ice to the world cannot be brought to
its full realization."
acted by this Congress ia the beginning
of a new life for our Nation. We have
opened the way to fairer business con
ditions, and established on a firm foun
dation individual liberty and business
freedom 'for our people.
"I believe we can now look forward
to an era of peace with all foreign na
tions and prosperty for -our people at
home as the crowning success of your
Administration of the Government of
our country." - -

"Pat, the Giant," Wonder of Irish
Fairs, Is Still Growing.
LONDON, Oct. 16. The agricultural
gentlemen with rosy cheeks and side
whiskers who slapped their new
leather gaiters with riding crops at a
recent agricutural show are genuinely
mystified by the continued growth of
the Irish giant ox, a sheer mountain
of heaving flesh, that is easily the
largest and heaviest beast of its kind
in the world.
The origin of "Pat the Giant" as
this phenomenon is called, is lost in
the dim "paflrc of Irish cattle fairs. No
one knows exactly who his parents
were. He was found- as a youngster
of normal proportions at a- fair in
County Roscommon and he began to
grow rapidly and to assume an
abnormal girth when he became the
property of a Yorkshire farmer.
He weighs at present a ton and a
half. He has grown six inches in
height in the last two years and he
is' still getting longer, wider and taller.
If we compare his' present measure
ments with those taken two years ago
at the York Fat Stock Show we get
an idea of the extraordinary rate of
expansion of this beast:

height at loin, 5 feet 7 inches; girth.

feet 9 Inches: weight, 220 stone.

inches; height at loin, 6 feet 1 inch;

IXDERWOOU PREDICTS PEACE
Democratic Leader Praises Presi
dent's Own Work in Reply.
WASHINGTON', Oct. 18. An era of
peace with foreign nations and pros
perity at home was predicted for the
American people by Representativ 3
i nuerwooa, majority jeaacr in tne
Houfce. in a reply made public today,
thanking President Wilson for his let
ter praifiing the achievements of the
Democrats in Congress. Mr. Under
wood said he and his colleagues felt
that what they had accomplished was
due largely to the President's magnifi
cent leadership. The letter follows:
"I am sure that I can say for my col
leagues, as well as myself, that al
though we have striven earnestly to
keep our promises to the people and
write on the statute books legislation
in keeping with the progressive spirit
of the times, we feel that it is largely
due to your magnificent leadership that
we have achieved in one Congress more
remedial legislation in the interest of
the American people than has been ac
complished by legislation in several
decades before this Congress met.
"We cannot expect that the reforms
Inaugurated by your Administration
will immediately demonstrate their
M'orth. After a. law is on the statute
books, it takes months and often years
before the sentiment of the country
adjusts iuielf to the new conditions,
but I feel sure that time will prove
that the legislation which has been en-
plaint of candidates has been that the
war and the initiative campaigns have
served to detract attention from per
sonal candidacies.
Seven initiative and two referendum
measures and one proposed constitu
tional amendment will appear at the
head of the Washington ballot Novem
ber 3. Of the ten measures th so-
called prohibition bill, initiative meas
ure No. 3, easily has attracted most at
tention. An exceptionally vigorous
campaign has been waged both Jn sup
port of this measure and against it. A
few months ago politicians freely pre
dicted that the state would vote "dry"
by a majority of 20,000 or more, but
close observers maintain they have
seen a noticeable change in sentiment
recently, and it is generally antici
pated that the vote will be extremely
close.
Legal Question Is Involved.
A serious question has been raised as
to the date upon which the law would
go into effect, if enacted. The consti
tutional amendment providing for the
initiative declares that all initiative
measures if receiving a majority vote,
go in effect SO days after the election;
initiative measure No. 3. however, car
ries its own enacting clause, providing
that its provisions shall not become
effective until January 1, 1916. The
Attorney-General's office has declined
to rule on the legal question involved,
though numerous requests for an of
ficial opinion on the subject have been
received.
The proposed law is not strictly a
prohibition measure, as it would allow
anyone, by appearlhg personally before
the County Auditor, to procure a permit
eacn 20 days, entitling him to ship into
the state not more than 12 quarts of
beer or two quarts of whisky or any
other beverage'. It is the assertion of
its backers, however, that the measure
is as stringent as can be upheld under
the Washington! constitution.
Eight-Hoar Measure Fought
Next to the prohibition bill, the most
strenuous initiative campaign has cerr
tered around measure No. 13, the uni
versal eight-hour law, a Socialist party
measure. This bill was Initiated as
the result of trouble between the
shingle weavers' union and Coast shin
gle mills, and provides that eight hours
f:hall constitute a. day's labor in all
irjrk except agricultural work, where
ten hours is allowed. Business men

Federation of Labor and Farmers'
Unions. Of the five, measure No. 9, pro
viding for the addition of a stringent
medical attendance or "first aid" pro
vision to the industrial insurance act,
has drawn the strongest attacks. Gov
ernor Lister has come out in opposition
to this bill, on the ground that it has
not been sufficiently considered before
drafting. If the bill is defeated, the
Governor has announced he will ap
point a special commission of employ
ers and employes, to draft a suitable
medical attendance amendment, using
the experience of the industrial insur

operation of the compensation law, as
a basis.
Teachers' Pension Doubtful Issue.
Teachers of the state are putting up
a vigorous campaign in behalf of refer
endum measure No. I, providing a
teachers' retirement fund, but much
opposition has been aroused by this
measure, and its passage is considered
doubtful. Business Interests of East'
ern Washington also are making an
earnest effort in behalf of referendum
measure No. 2, providing a $40,000,000
bond issue for state operation of the
Quincy Irrigation project, but the heavy
indebtedness proposed has encountered
serious opposition, a strong feeling ex
isting throughout the state against any
measure to increase taxes.
The ten measures, in the order In
which they will appear on the ballot,
are:
Initiative measure No. 3, prohibition

EUGENE. Or.. Oct. 18 (Special.)
Nearly 1200 men are fighting against
time to complete the entire Willamette
Pacific grade from the Sluslaw to .Coos
Bay before the Winter weather drives
them out. says. J. II. Porter, a member
of the firm ot Porter Brothers, rail
road contractors, who left this morning
for the "front" again after a business
trip. Whether the entire line can be
completed this year, avoiding the ne
cessity of tying up the contractors' ma
chinery for another season, depends en
tirely upon the weather, says Mr. Por
ter, and the chances are even with the
contractors.
The grading has been completed from
the Siuslaw south 10 miles to Maple
Creek. All grading is virtually com
pleted from Gardiner to Coos Bay, a
distance of 20 miles, and at present the
'forces are at work with steam shovels
and grading machinery to connect a
score of pieces of completed grade
north of the Umpqua.
Tunnel No. 7. the 4200-foot bore south
of Gardiner, is within 700 feet of com
pletion, and the bore Is progressing
from each end at the rate of 40 feet a
week. Tunnels 3 and 5 have 700 and
500 feet, respectively, remaining, but
that rock work can go on all Winter.
Piledrivers are rattling all along the
lakes, which the coast road follows,
crossing countless arms, and following
the edges of the water for miles. The
plledrivlng crews expect to complete
their work this Fall.
The rails reached Mapleton. at the
head of tidewater on the Siuslaw, this
week. Ballasting operations were re
sumed this week, and within a few days
the track from Lake Creek to Mapleton
will be ballasted to make possible tbe

Twenty years ago the manufacture of Postum was started in the small white building1

Doctors found that coffee drinking was hurting' the health of people, right and left.
Chemists analyzed coffee and found this harm was due to two health-wrecking drugs,

Twenty great factory buildings, covering nearly ten acres, now surround the little build
ing where Postum was first made, and carloads of this wholesome food-drink are shipped
daily to take the place of coffee on the tables of hundred of thousands.
Each cup of coffee carries its dose of caffeine and tannin (about 2' grains of each)
and sooner or later symptoms of poisoning show themselves in headache, biliousness,
heart disturbance, nervousness, indigestion, sleeplessness, etc
Relief generally follows when one quits coffee and uses POSTUM.
Postum, a pure food-drink with a riqh Java-like flavour, is made of prime wheat and
