Forest Official Says House Has No
Right to Land TTsed.
According to a statement issued Sat
urday by a local official of the Forest
Service, no foundation exists for the
claims of Robert House to the National
forest lands near La Pine, Or., in coa
nection with which he was arrested
on a charge of criminal trespass last
wees. The statement is:
"It la said that Mr. House has tres
passed on certain lands on Davis Lake
for more than four years, and that his
asserted claim to the land is without
foundation. The land was included in
the forest reserve created by President
Cleveland in 1893, as one of the first
reserves created in the United States.
nr. iouse claims the land as a
homestead, notwithstanding the fact
that the Secretary of Agriculture has
passed upon his application, under the
homestead act, several times. In every
instance the land was held to be non-
agricultural on account of the adverse
climate, soil and other conditions which
would prevent the practice of profita
ble agriculture. ;
'Civil proceedings have been insti
tuted so that Mr. House will have an
opportunity to present his side of the
case. Forest Service officials report
that Mr. House has made summary ac
tion necessary because of his forcible
interference with grazing permittees.
He is said to have prevented them
from utilizing sheep range for which
they had paid the reauired fees to
the Government."

"The war will create a demand for
American talent through the scarcity of
European talent, and for the first time
we will really have a chance to show
what we can do with 'Made in America'
music. Except for the broadening
scope that travel and study abroad
gives to the mind I have never advised
my pupils to go to Europe to study,
They can learn the technical part as
well here. This war will greatly help
to create an American prestige in
music."
Mr. von Sternberg added that the
burden of war was apparently resting
lightly on Germany, and that there
was a feeling abroad that fighting
would cease early next year.

"A child cannot understand theology,

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. According
to the best information available on
the subject, not a single person in
Great Britain paid tax on incomes
amounting to more than $1,000,000 a
year, while in the United States there
were 41 such persons who paid on in
comes of this amount or more. In
England there we're 66 persons having
incomes of $500,000 who paid taxes,
while in this country 91 persons made
returns on this amount. There were
55 persons making returns on incomes
of $400,000 in Great Britain, while in
this country .785 persons admitted such
Incomes. There are no figures avail
able at preeenfon the amount of in
come tax paid by residents of France.
The Income tax law in that country
has been in effect only a compara
tively short time, and the returne have
not been made public.
AN is made for action. To do-
man's work requires a man's
mind. Resolution, determination, de
cision are necessary. The doubter is
little better than the dishonest man.
He has no mind of his own, no aim to
work for and he is never ready for
achievement."
This was the keynote of the sermon
delivered last night by the Rev. W. J.
Beaven in the Third Baptist Church. He
said: "Strive to enter in at the narrow
door. We have no right to be unset
tied. For doubters that are proud of
and parade their doubts there is no
gospel. For those who regret their
doubt and seek the right way and the
light there is hope."
Rev. Walter Duff, pastor of Calvary
Bactist Church, in speaking yesterday
on the subject, "is the xoung man
Safe?" said:
'As we look at the present world
conditions with the war spirit abroad
with saloons and temptation on every
side, is the young man safe? Some may
sav 'Let him come in toucn wiin in
world and learn to .resist temptation.
I say, however, let us blot out many of
these temptations. Is the young man
safe in the Sunday school? Yes, but do
not leave all of his training to the Sun
day schools. Teach him in the home.
Is the young man safe in tne cnurcn
Yes. Use all the love and energy you
possess, my brethren, to bring the
young man into the church and by
making it interesting and helpful, keep
him there.
Is the young man of the day a safe
companion lor your daughters r jriaii
the young men in x-ortiano, unuer pres
ent conditions, are not. We must be
particular about the kind of compan
ionship that both our boys and girls
choose. The safe place for the young
Is in Christ and the Christian life is
the only safe life."
As a timely topic the Rev. C. C.
Rarick took for his sermon subject
yesterday evening. In the Central Meth
odist Episcopal Church, "Halloween Su
perstitions." Dr. Rarick gave the his
tory of many of the superstitions per
taining to the day and to other special
days. He said: "Gamblers, horseracers
and cardplayers are not the only per
sons who are superstitious. Nearly
everyone is in some way or another.
Manv of us say that if we fail we have
bad luck. People are too apt to de
pend too much on luck. To attain suc
cess determined effort is necessary.
Some of the things that the mind of
man has mastered would a short time
ago have been regarded as miraculous.
Great achievement is not accomplished
by giving way to fear and superstition,
Strength of character, patience and
hard work will bring their reward.'
"Will Your Religion Stand the Test
of the War?" was the sermon subject
discussed by Rev. J. D. Corby, pastor
of the Church of Good Tidings, yester
day morning. The occasion was the
annual observance ot "All Souls' Day,'
when the Unlversallst Church empha
sizes the fact that all people in this
world belong to one big family. The
day was all the more notable because
the first services had been held on the
As a fitting climax to the campaign
of misrepresentation which has been
carried on all over the State of Ore
gon by the Dental Trust in a fanatical
effort to defeat Dentistry Bill 340, a
bare-faced fake to deceive the voters
was attempted in the Portland Sun
day newspapers. .
These "high-minded," "ethical,"
self-appointed "guardians of the pub
lic health printed a list of papers m .
a paid advertisement which they said
was opposing the dentistry bill. In
order to make the list as large and im
pressive as possible papers were in
cluded which are in favor of the bill.
Evidently the Trust thought there
was not time enough to expose the
trick before election, but I have been
expecting this and on this page will
be found telegrams and extracts from
papers showing how the Trust is be
ing lambasted and proving the list as
printed was faked.
MARSHFIELD RECORD: There should be no
combined control of the business of looking after the teeth
in Oregon.
The statement that "ethical" dentists are the only ones
who can properly treat a person is all tommyrot.
The truth of the matter is that there are some exceed-
ingly poor dentists now members or the Dental 1 rust in
Oregon, and some very superior dentists in the advertising
colony of dental doctors.
Here is the gist of the whole matter: The Dental Trust
fears a state law which will regulate the prices which should
be charged. - Anyone who has had any experience in dental
matters knows that one pays for the work done by the
Dental Trust according to the manner in which the "ethical"
doctor sizes one up. You go into the office of a Dental
Trust member and he begins to sound out your various teeth which need
looking after, and he will give you an estimate ' as to what the amount
will be.
The "estimate" varies just as the "ethical" dentist's estimate of your
paying ability runs.
1 he only way to beat the Dental 1 rust is to vote against that close
organization and make it possible to have competition of a high order in
Oregon.
A vote against the Dental Trust is a vote in the cause for a suffering
and imposed-on humanity.

AURORA OBSERVER: "Painless Parker." known as the
advertising dentist, has put anything but a "painless" fear into the heart
of the Dental Trust, which is resorting to advertising to defeat the bill that
Parker has initiated dealing with the practice of dentistry.
LINNTON LEADER: Edgar R. Parker, known as "Painless
Parker," is administering the Dental Trust of Oregon a solar plexus that
is causing that alleged body to spar for wind. If we were in our old school
days we would shy our castor and yell, "Raw for Painless Parker."
PORTLAND OREGON I AN: The dentists have a society and
they declare it to be "unprofessional and dishonorable" to cut prices except
in special circumstances. The penalties for unprofessional or dishonorable
conduct are unknown to The Oregonian. Probably the offenders are dis
missed from the society or forfeit their licenses to practice, or both. Doubt
less some dentist well up in the sacred code of dental ethics can inform
The Oregonian.
No trust in the world ever admitted that it was a trust. But all are
inspired by a high and benevolent desire to 'steady trade and keep out
unfair competition. The dentists, according to their bylaws, aim to control
prices and keep out unfair competition. Painless Parker, who advertises
and who has various diplomas, is their model of an unfair competitor. He
gets the business. How many dentists in Oregon, who got their diplomas
years ago. as Parker did, would be willing to submit to an examination
of a hostile dental board?
ASHLAND TIDINGS: The chief argument presented against the
existing law defining the qualifications of dentists is that the act fosters a
dental trust, which is part and parcel of an ethical medical trust.
As a result the state press is getting into the fight with a vim. as the
foundation of the press is being attacked indirectly. The doctors have
stirred up a hornets nest and doubtless will be severely "stung" before
they are through with the campaign of Painless Parker.
BANDON RECORD: This bill strikes at the Dental Trust, now
in full control in Oregon. At present dentists in Oregon charge about
three times the amount charged for work in the Eastern states. By keeping
out competent dentists, they can maintain their exorbitant charges for dental
work. The purpose of the bill is to modify the requirements for securing
certificates of dentists. Vdte for the bill and reduce your dental bill.
CONDON TIMES: One of the bills on the ballot that should
pass is Dentistry Bill 340. The bill will knock out one
board, which is something, as we are overburdened with boards and com
missions that we can very well get along without. It would be well to
vote 340 "Yes."
340.
SALEM MESSENGER: Here's success to Painless Parker's bill
WOODBURN INDEPENDENT: "Painless Parker" is cer
tainly a fighter to a finish and will, altogether likely, knock the Oregon
Dental Board off the persimmon tree. It is now possible that the Board
regrets its past arbitrary policy.
ST. JOHNS REVIEW: Dr. Edgar R. Parker, better known as
"Painless Parker," is having an uphill fight on his hands in breaking into
the good graces of the dental fraternity. His greatest "crime" -seems to be
his propensity forusing printers ink freely. Now, if other professional
men would suddenly develop a like propensity, we believe that the fraternity
could still keep its dignity and do a better business at the same time. It is
time that professional men broke away from the old moss-covered idea
that advertising their business and methods is undignified.
LENTS HERALD: A change in the law to a more rational and
sincere procedure of issuing licenses would not necessarily lower the standard
of the profession, of whom there are not a few quacks and incompetents.
In fact, it Has been said that "mazuma" has a lot to do with getting a
license.

were made sinners, so by. the obedi

to put away sin by the sacrifice of
himself." His sermon was a succes

sages from "Science and Health" and
