Striking at article 10 as a menace to tranquil relations among American citizens, Senator Harding declared in a front porch speech today if he had to choose he "would rather have industrial and social peace at home than command international peace of the world." "It Is folly." he said, "to think of blending Greek and Bulgarian. Italian and Slovak, or making any of them rejoicingly American',, when the land of adoption sits' in Judgment on the land from which he came. "We need to be rescued from the visionary and fruitless pursuit of peace through super-government. I do not want Americans of foreign birth making their party alignments on what we mean to do for some na tion In the old world. Our need is concert, nut antipathies of long in' her it a nee." Vlnltors Interrupt With Cheers. The speech was delivered to a dele gation from Wayne county. Ohio, who greeted the candidate with cheers and interrupted frequently with applause. tn 'conference with other callers earlier the nominee declared his ad herenCe to the front-porch policy and indicated he expected to make no speeches away from Marion until Oc tober, lie declined an Invitation they brought to address the West Virginia Republican club on August 12. It was said at his headquarters that his position would not suspend tenta tive plans for speaking trips later and that some definite decision might be expected at the conference of re publican chiefs in New York tomor row. Anti-Saloon Head Calls. Among the senator's other callers were Mrs'. Abby Scott Baker of the national woman's party, who asked for more help to secure ratification of the suffrage amendment, and Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the anti-saloon league, who said he paid only a personal call. Mrs. Baker said she was well pleased with her talk with the nomi nee and had been promised definite action toward securing a favorable vote by the Tennessee legislature. Arriving on a special train, more than two hours early, the Wayne county delegation marched past the Harding residence in a cheering col umn, while the nominee arid his wife reviewed them, from a vacant lot a half block away they serenaded head quarters with a band until time for their formal appearance. Taggart Makes Speech. A short speech of greeting was made by Judge Frank Taggart. Tomorrow Senator Harding will re. ceive a delegation from Ohio Stat, university, but he does not intend to make a speech. Besides this delega tion, only two others have been deft nitely announced, and today one of these, a group of pottery workers from East Liverpool, O., postponed its engagement because of inability to secure reduced railway rates. The re maining date is September 25, when the American Defense society is to hear an address. Senator Harding today asserted It would be unwise for this country to permit "our activities in seeking for peace in the old world to blind us to the essentials of peace at home," and added that "if America can be made to forget the attempted barter of na tionality, well and good," but that "when nationality is surrendered to internationality, little else matters and all appeal is vain." l'act Breaka Faith. Taking up the league of nations. Senator Harding declared it to be the other extreme to a referendum on a proposed declaration of war. "1 emphatically agree," he said, "Unit no authority other than con gress may call our boys to battle. Accepting this truth, why make a covenant which violates the good faith of nations? "Suppose." he continued, "that un der article 10 a programme of armed force is agreed upon, and the con gress of the United States declines to respond. The executive would be called upon to carry on a war with out constitutional authority, or we should prove our compact no more than a scrap of paper. We are on the aide of both safety and honor to hold for ourselves the decision of our obligations to the world. Internationalism Hit.

Forest fires reported by the air plane patrol of the forest service to taled 33 during the latter half of July, according to advices received by the local department from the base at Medford.

BRITISH VESSEL LAYING LINE Embassy Warned of Violation of American Law. MIAMI, FLA., OBJECTIVE Action Taken, It Is Believed, Be cause English Firm Has Monop oly In Brazil Waters. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. (By . the Associated Press.) Five destroyers are .patrolling the entrance to the Miami, Fla., harbor under orders from President Wilson to prevent, by force if necessary the landing of cable the Western Union Telegraph company is having laid from Bar bados, -a British possession in the West Indies. A British cable vessel, the Colonia. has been chartered by - the company to land the cable which would con nect with a British cable line from Barbados to South America. At the state department it was stated today that the British embassy had been asked to Inform the master of the vessel that such a landing would violate American law. Officials explained there was sig nificance in the fact that the vessel was British, that she probably was the only cable craft available to the company. Work on the cable was begun last summer. Some time ago the Western Union company applied to the state department for a permit to land the wire at Miami, but offic cials said action had been delayed pending the holding of the interna tional communications - congress to meet here September 15.

Two leaders in Utah activities of the farmer-labor party tonight made pub lic a joint letter of resignation to George Crosby, state chairman of the party, charging that Industrial Work ers of the World were in control of the party. They were H. A McCollum, state vice-chairman, and Charles A. Wea ver, assistant secretary of the state organization. The two former officers of the party recited a number of facts which they said tended to prove that L W. W. influences had been active in the party, accused some members of that organization of seeking to subvert the new party to their own ends, and made a general denunciation of radi calism. The letter called, attention to pro nouncements by Parley P. Christen sen, the party's, presidential nominee, against the I. W. V., and salt he had failed to live up to these statements. Both signers of the letter live here, and this also is Christensen's home Reciting the reasons which led them to aid in the formation of the new party, the writers quoted Christensen as saying "he would resent the ex ercising of the I. W.. W. vote in the new party's behalf." It continued: - "The farmer-labor party delegates had barely returned home before they began to form plans to control the new party and . '. . began to pursue their own radical ends. Christensen ... has sacrificed his integrity to the labor unions and the I. W. W." The letter explains that the signers are not attacking ail unions, but only those Inclined to radicalism. It goes on to say that "I. W. W. interests" are "operating under the misnomer of the farmer-labor party" and adds that "no law-abiding . citizen would dare belong to It (tlae farmer-labor party)." EMPLOYES ARE LET OUT Clothing Manufacturers Reducing Because "of. Lack of Orders." NEW YORK, Aug. 4.

Every available freight car on the Northern Pacific syatero is being sent Into the northwest in order to give relief to lumber operators and per mit them to ship all unfilled orders before the new advanced freight rates become effective the latter part of this month, I The Northern Pacific Is even going so far as to take the crews of the work trains in order to increase this movement of empty cars Into the northwest territory. Word of this movement was con tained la a telegram received yes terday by F. J. Fbgarty, assistant general freight agent, from J. E. Woodworth, vice-president of the Northern Pacific, in charge of trans portation. Local traffic experts unite in as serting that the new freight rates, if maintained according to the Increase permitted by the interstate commerce commission, will work a serious hard ship on the lumber industry of the northwest and lumber operators are now making every effort to ship out all orders to outeide points before these new rates are made effective.

Since 1913 there has been a nominal decrease in realty holdings of the Japanese of 875 acres. Such are the figures compiled by the Japanese association of Oregon and submitted to the congressional committee on immigration and natur alization, which has been holding in vestigations In California" and Wash ington dealing with the problem of admission and land tenancy of ori entals. As no hearing is to be held in Oregon, the statistics for the state have been forwarded to the commit tee. The Japanese association re port is said to have been corrected up to June of this year.

As the result of the working of the "gentlemen's agreement." the number of the Japanese men in this state has greatly decreased within the past ten years, and it was only by the increase of women and chit dren that the Japanese population has maintained its size, without sub stantial decrease. Thus, in speaking of the earning capacity of Japanese people, the at tention la called to a marked differ ence between their average earning capacity at the present time and that of the former days, when the Jap anese population consisted almost wholly of male adults. Of the Japanese laborers in various lines of industries, the largest num ber is employed by the railroad, and then come lumber-mill employes, "farm t named. Those employed by the rail roads connected with the logging op erations receive the highest wages nowadays, many of them being paid $5.40 per day of eight hours, while common laborers employed in lumber mills receive $5. Farm Handa Get 95. Japanese farm hands are paid at present j per day on an average, some of them receiving as high as $6, In all these lines Japanese laborers are paid the same wages as those of other nationalities, and In certain instances tney receive higher wages than white laborers. The total amount of capital invested by Japanese in various lines of busi ness, including stores, hotel and room ing houses, bath houses, laundries. restaurants, barber shops, etc., is esti mated as $860,000, while the total gross receipts during the year 1919 are placed at $900,000.

The statistics taken at the close o the year 1913 give the figures of the land owned by Oregon Japanese as 3060 acres and. compared with those figures of the present statistics, the Japanese holdings of land in this state show a decrease of 875 acres. This is due to the fact that during the past few years, while there have been a number of new purchases by Japanese on one hand, several large tracts held by Japanese residents on the other hand, were at different times sold to American farmers as follows: Acres. . ..1H40 . . . 1 i.1 . .. 135 . .. iO Wheat land in Wasco county......

GOODING STRONG IN SOUTH For Governor D. W. Davis Seems to Be Leading. RETURNS COMING SLOWLY Ex-Service Men Active, but Claim of Control of Ada County Con- vcutlon Held Doubtful. BOISE. Idaho.. Aug. 4. (Special.) Indications based on reports from various parts of the state on Tues day's; primary election are that none of the several candidates for United States senator and governor are In control, claims, to the contrary not withstanding. The vote was disappointingly light. It reflects favorable sentiment In the southeast and south for Frank: R. Gooding, in the western part of the state for Colonel S. L. Patch and Col onel E. G. Davis and In the north for Captain A. H. Connor and C. W. Beale. all candidates for state senator. For governor, D. W. Davis ia probably shading John W. Eaglcson. while North Idaho will give part of its sup port at least to M. L Kiger. Kx-Servlce Mrs Active. The election was confined to the 44' counties exclusively. Backers of the several candidates for senator and governor, especially ex-service men, sought to elect delegates to the county conventions to be held August 14 so that they might control and get in structed delegates for Colonel Patch. In Ada county they nominated 125 ex service men out a total of 178 who will be seated in the state convention and elected about 60 of them. They claim control of the county convention, but he returns do not justify the claims of either Patch or any of the other candidates. Gooding claims an even break, aa does Colonel Patch. Governor Davis issued a statement in which he said a majority of the delegates are favor able to his candidacy, while State Treasurer Kagleson asserted: "I have reason to believe that every one of the delegates elected to the Pocatello con vention will be for me." It Is believed by party workers that the county con vention will select an instructed Jc.e gation of 11 delegates to the state convention. Coodinis Men Hopeful. Regarding the situation over the state Fred R. Gooding, speaking for his brother, Frank R. Gooding, said: "Delegates in ail counties in south eastern and southern Idaho favorable to Frank R. Gooding have been elect ed, with but two exceptions. Payette and Washinatt n. He made an excel lent run in Ada county and will have a large number of delegates there." The Patch headquarters here issued a statement sayingr: "Reports from counties over the state are flattering. Colonel Patch carried counties in both the north und south that he did not expect to get." Davis AIm Satisfied. Color.el Davis, at headquarters said: "I am well satisfied with the result. From the returns it appears that no one candidate for the .senate will be in control of the cpunty convention. I expect lh.it convention to send a delegation of representative men to Pocatello. They will not vote as a unit at the beginning. I hope to see them units in Tuy support as toon as it may be demonstrated that other candidates cannot win." For the legislature the republicans nominated in this county C. S. Hunter for the senate and Jay Farris. Charles D. Storey, Alfred Anderson srd D. L. Young as representatives. The demo crats nominated Harry S. Kessler for senator and George B. Atwater, H. Goodfri-jnd, Mrs. Agnes Howe and Mary Jienton for the house.
