"OLD GUARD'' IS FLAYED
licpublicans Decla.-ed to Have
Learned Little 1'rom 1912 and
to Let Bosses Control.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11. Franklin
Roosevelt, democratic candidate for
vice-president, opened his campaign
here tonight' before 8000 persons. He
urged republicans and independents
to join the democrats in support of
thfcir platform and ticket.
He told republicans their party had
been, split by a quarrel among leaders
and that the faction represented by
Senator Harding -was the "old guard"
Theodore Roosevelt had opposed.
Seven hundred women had places on
the stage.
He said In part:
"Tonight we are firing tha opening
run of a battle of far-reaching Im
portance, and once again he shots
are going to be heard around the
world for the action of the Ameri
can nation will be watched with anx
ious eyes by all civilization.

Protestant Episcopal church in
America, which is bequeathed $8000
for the purpose of maintaining Bible
readers in China and Japan.
Mrs. Berry died in Portland August

probable value of 9500 and real es
tate in Multnomah county worth

Jubitz and the Title & Trust company
are named executors and trustees of
the trust created in the will. The
will was drawn by Attorney Earl C.
Bronaugh.
HOTEL ALARMS ARE LOCAL
INTERIOR BOXES DO SOT SIG
NAL EIRE DEPARTMENT.
Tonra Held Necessary.
"Governor Cox and I believe It is
the simple duty of the candidates to
give to as many citizens as possible
an opportunity to see and hear and
form their own impressions of the
men they are to vote for. It is only
frankness to say that the great ma
jority of the newspapers are owned
or controlled by men affiliated with
the republican party. It is. therefore,
doubly necessary for us to present our
Views and our aims in person.
"I hope on this journey to the Pa
cific ocean and in all my travels 1
shall have opportunity to talk not
only to democrats but also to those
who are normally affiliated with
other parties, and with men and
women without party affiliations
the 'independents.'
"1 want to address myself partlcn-
larly to those who are not democrats
The day is past, except in the case of
old-time, hard-shell politicians, or the
case of a few narrowly prejudiced
newspapers, when it is either popular
or useful to damn everybody and
everything connected with the opposi
tion.
Rank Held Patriotic.
"I willingly acknowledge and praise
the fine citizenship which goes to
make up the rank rnd file of the re
publican party. The republican party
is one of great traditions, of great
patriotism, of great accomplishments.
1 speak of the rank and file of that
party even today with true respect.
"But for eight, yes for 12 years.
conflict has been raging within that
party raging among those in high
command. In the first eight years of
this century, the republican party was
in large part under true leaders. From
1908 to 1912 a group of selfish men
sought for their own purposes to gain
control of the party machinery.
"You know the result. It was in this
city that was born the movement of
protest that, in the elections of 1912,
received the majority of the votes
of the old republican party. That
vote was given to a great American
leader, but it was even more than
support of Theodore Roosevelt the
man, it was the voice of insistence
that the party control be taken out
of the hands of selfish men. Among
those in that year who supported
the ancient regime was the present
republican nominee.-
Old Gnard Activity Changed."
"Today this same man and his
'sponsors, the old guard, show no
signs of having taken to heart the
drastic lesson taught them. Once
again we see them, unmindful of the
marvelous progress around them,
warped in their selfishness, fault
finding and bitterly criticising, but
offering no - real remedies or con
etructlve programme to meet the
problems we face today.
"The democratic party offers not
'a" change, but 'the' change; its plat
form pledges a definite, programme
of constructive measures, not a
hodge-podge of vague compromises;
a definite foreign policy for imme
diate and permanent peace, not an un
defined suggestion or new end un
workable scheme, a pledge that the
safeguards of working men and
women already accomplished under
democratic leadership shall, remain;
not the fear that 'a' republican change
will restore to power the influential
few." ;
Announcement Is Made to Correct
Impression Tbat Seems Gen
eral Among Public.
Interior fire alarms found in hotels
and ap&rtment hoses are not con
nected with the fire bureau exchange.
This announcement was marie yester
day by Acting Chief Young to correct
the opinion that seems to be general
that Interior alarms will call the fire
bureau when the grjass is broken.
'Such-alarms," said Mr. xoung, "are
merely for the purpose of arousing
the Inmates of the building. At the
side of each of these alarms is a card
which states that' the alarm ia not
connected with the' fire bureau, and
that after the glass Is broken, the
person so doing should go to the near
est lire alarm box and turn in
an alarm or call Main 7700.
"This card also gives the location
of the nearest box.
"Investigation made following the
Elton Court fire," continued Mr.
Young, "convinced me that the aver
age person believes that the interior
alarms are a part of the regular fire
alarm telegraph system. It is eseen
tial to the safety of the public that
this impression be removed."
Following the Elton Court fire
last' - Saturday'- - numerous persons
called the fire bureau officials and
complained that the interior alarm in
the building was out of commission
because it did not call the fire de
partment
One of the peculiar coincidences
connected with the Elton Court fire
which became known yesterday was
the Instruction for testing of all rife
saving nets on the afternoon before
the fire by Acting Chief Young.

the developments.
The deposits of the bank were

doors closed.
According to the local banking
authorities, the bank of Jacksonville
has been in trouble for the last
three weeks and the crisis came

heaviest sufferers. Louis Ulrich de

of $2800 was deposited the same day
according to reports. The amounts
deposited range from $5 to 120.000.
Mr. Johnson would make no state

ousiness judgment.

ncident of its kind in 30 years in
this section.

PRUNARIANS VISIT FARM
GERMANTOWN. O., Aug. 11. Be
fore an enthusiastic crowd that over
flowed the athletic field at Miami mil
itary institute tonight. Rev. Aaron S.
Watkins, Btandard-bearer of the pro
hlbition party, and D. L. Colvin, his
running mate, accepted their nomina
tlons, both asserting enforcement of
prohibition laws and especially the
Volstead act are vital issues.
'To us the supreme question is not
equal suffrage, the league of nations,
labor, Mexico or Armenia, nor any
minor question on which all agree,
but extinction of the liquor traffic,"
said Rev. Mr. Watkins. "Notwith
standing that we have prohibition in
the constitution, both political par
ties have refused to assume the re
sponsibility for the maintenance of
the Vohstead enforcement' law," de
clared Mr. Colvin.
Both candidates will carry the gos
pel of their party into every section of
the country by airplane. Decision for
the air campaign was reached late to
day by the national executive com
mittee. At J o'clock the day's first notifi
cation ceremony, an automobile pa

where he and members of the execu
tive committee reviewed it. H. P.
Farris of Clinton, Mo., who delivered
the notification speech to Rev. Mr.
Watkins, stressed' the "plainness ana
fairness of the ,1920 prohibition plat
form." Referring to the Volstead act,
he declared "no repeal or modification
of present laws must, be countenanced,
considered or connived at."
Mr. Watkins favored signing the
peace treaty at once with whatever
reservations and amendments possi
ble, declaring in favor of a mandate.
over Armenia, if the United States is
requested by the rest of the nations
of the world; urged intervention in
Mexico if peaceful arbitration fails,
and declared for establishment of an
industrial court of -settlement for la
bor questions.
The prohibition party, he said, has
always been in favor of equal suf
frage.
The election of a dry president is
equal in importance to the election of

Mrs. Frances Beauchamp, Lexing

nomination.

VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 11.
(Special.) Professor William V. Her

Information on the subject of "Why
Is An Editor?" was disclosed to mem
bers of the Portland Ad club at the
regular weekly meeting ' yesterday
noon at the Benson hotel, when edi
tors of the four Portland dally news
papers were the guests of the club
and were called upon to speak. Sam
Bratton, former president of the ad
club who has returned to Portland
after a year and a half in New York
and Texas, acted as chairman of the
day.
Some of the highlights of the two
recent national political conventions
as seen through the eyes of a news
paper man, formed the subject of the
first address, that of Edgar B. Piper
of The Oregonian. The outstanding
feature of the Chicago gathering, Mr.
Piper declared, was the- nomination
speech of Ex-Governor Frank Willis
of Ohio, who placed Senator Harding
Deiore the convention. The republi
can "machine," if there be such, had
practically given up the idea of Hard
ing's nomination, he said, but enthus
iasm for the Ohioan was inspired by
w mis' address.
Convention Found Interesting.
The democratic . convention Mr.
Piper found more interesting in many
ways than the republican affair. The
features were handled in smooth and
dramatic style, he said, and W. J.
Bryan s defense of prohibition he
cited as one of the commoner's great
est enorts.
David F. Morrison of the Portland
Telegram gave reminiscenses of i
score of years in the Portland news
paper field. Sincerity is the essential
of a good editorial, he said. citing the
fact that he is never called upon to
write upon any subjects except along
me lines or ni3 sincere conviction
Being himself a democrat, Mr. Mor
rison refrains from writing political
editorials for the paper, he said, but
leaves those to colleagues on the edi
torial staff whose convictions corre
spond to those of the proprietors of
the paper.
English Editors Rank High.
Incidents and anecdotes of a news
paper man in England were given by
Fred L. Boalt of the Portland News,
who was for some years representa
tive of the United Press in that field
The editor in England is accorded his
proper sphere, he declared, and comes
next beneath royalty in the social
scale. He told of one experience in
which he spent nearly a day in the
vain attempt to obtain an interview
ith the editor of the London Times.
In the standard of ethics main
tained and the general scale of serv
ice to tne community the average
ewspaper stands unusually hglh, de
clared B. F. Irvine of the Oregon
ournal. who was the last speaker.
Mr. Irvine acknowledged that much
criticism is hurled against the news
papers as being dishonest and man
aged along tne lines ol business ex
ediency, but praised the high stand
ard of the Portland papers and -o
ewspapers . in general. The news
paper profession has Its weak links
s do all other professions in which
there is the human equation, he said.
In general, however, he said, the
newspaper carries the public burdens
and fights for the public and work
onestly for the betterment and up
lift of the people.
BOY MAY LOSE BOTH FEET
Oak Grove Lad Walks Into Hot
Ashes From Burning Buildings.
Thomas Graham, aged 17, of Oak
Grove, is in a serious condition at the
Sellwood hospital, and it may be
necessary to amputate both feet as
the result of burns received when he
accidentally walked into some hot
ashes where buildings of the Oregon
Portland Iron works had burned down
several days ago.
Graham and other boys had crossed
the river in which they had been
swimming and were walking around
where the fire had been, clad only in
their- bathing suits, when be suddenly
sunk into a pit of ashes, the bottom
ot wnicn was glowing ooaia.
following tne accident tne Doy
crawled several hundred yards to the
river bank, was taken across in a boat
to the other side and then sent to the
Sellwood hospital by automobile.
Hospital attendants said yesterday
that an effort would be made to save
the boy's feet by skin grafting. In
case that proves unsuccessful, ampu
tation will be necessary, they say.
S. T. SORENSEN IS SUICIDE
Disillusionment brought into the
ife of 15-year-old Ruth Foster when
she followed the lure of the flicker-
Ins film as a student In the studios of
the Blackstone Comedy company of
Portland, resulted in the arrest yes
terday in Rockford. 111., of Frank B.
Hayward, director of makeup and ex
pression for the company, on a statu-
ory charge involving the girl. Po
ice Inspector- Herman Horack left
for Rockford yesterday when word
reached District Attorney Evans that
Hayward would waive extradition.
Miss Foster lives with- her grand
mother, Mrs. Ada McMullen, 607 Front
street. She met Hayward for the
first time early In April. She was
persuaded to take a course of study
In the moving-picture studio, and be
gan work April 5, 1920.- Six weeks'
training, and one picture was first
agreed upon, said the girl, but later
she was given four weeks' additional
instruction.
During the first six weeks the
classes were in the day, but the last
four were in the evening.
'About the time the second course
of training began," said the girl, "he
used to talk to me about being un
happy with his wife; said he was go
ing to get a divorce from her. About
the first of June he became quite at
tentive to me, would show me little
personal favors at the - studio and
after the class was over would take
me home in a 'for-hire car."
Then followed a sordid story, the
details of which the girl did not re
veal while Hayward was in Portland
'as he said if I told he would be put
in jail for 14 years and I would prob
ably get into trouble. -
The girl said Hayward left Port
land July 2, saying he intended to
get a divorce and return and marry
her..

Prices
Up or Down?
High prices for livestock in
crease the producer's income.
Low prices decrease it and even
result in losses. Similarly, high
prices for meat increase con
sumer's expenses.
But Swift & Company as a
middleman does not benefit by
high or low prices. Our income
depends not on a high level of
prices or a-low level, but rather
on the margin between the live
stock price and the meat and
by-products price.
' The company's only concern,
in whether prices should be
high or low, is that they should
be high enough to satisfy pro
ducers and low enough to please
consumers; but over the move
ment of these prices Swift &
Company has no controL
Swift & Company is compelled
by competition to pay high
enough prices for livestock to
secure an adequate supply. We
must sell meat at a price low
enough to make it move. We
endeavor also, between the two
prices, to secure a margin large
enough to pay all expenses and
yield a fair profit

Syrups mm mm ! !
"Sweets to the sweet" that's just another way of say
ing "more business to the makers of really good sweets."
Home-folk love the pure syrups listed at the right.
There's a brisk demand for these brands. And whenever
a newcomer is in doubt about what syrup to buy, our
store 'keepers pridef ully offer the made-in-Portland kind.
The producers of these syrups are aggressive business
men, an important unit among Portland's big industries.
They have sought and found a large market for their
delicious products. Even in far-off places Portland
syrups are widely and favorably known.
If you've never fully appreciated Portland's good fortune in being
the home of these fifteen delightful syrups, we would suggest
that you submit the proposition to the younger generation as
the chief consumers. "
