Nothing has developed ng this line, however, and a number men whose suggestions are listened to Hearst have instated that no more acks be made upon Hughes.

President Roosevelt is naturally anx ious for a Republican victory in his own state, and during the past few days there have been indications that he was not unduly impressed with the outlook, so far as Governor Hlggins 1s concerned. Collector of the Port Nevada N. Strana han has been a frequent visitor at Oys ter Bay of late, and it has been pointed out as significant that Mr. Stranahan has only recently returned from up-state', the ostensible reason for his trip being that he was "visiting old friends." Stranahan's home is In the little village of Fulton, and he represented the Os wego County district in the State Senate up to the time that he retired to accept his present position. He Is a shrewd politician, and Is thoroughly trusted by the President, who learned to like him when they were at Albany together. Whether Stranahan's trip was taken at the suggestion of the President cannot be definitely stated, but there Is every rea son to believe that he is now thoroughly posted on conditions "up-state," and that he Is far from being satisfied with them. The views of Mr. Stranahan cannot be regarded as biased, for he Is a warm per sonal friend of Governor Hlggins, and the two were associates in the State Sen ate for six years. But it is believed that he is convinced that present conditions require a strong man to head the ticket to Insure a Republican victory. Federal Job for Hlggins. All sorts of reports are afloat regarding the future of Hlggins. One is that he has pledged himself to retire from the field at any time that ex-Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. Francis Hendricks, of Syra cuse; George W. Aldrldge. of Rochester: Herbert Parsons, of New York, and Con gressman James W. Wadsworth may de cide another man would improve the ticket. Another rumor is that he la to be cared for under the Federal Government, the two posts spoken of being the Am bassadorship to Russia, which will be come vacant If Mr. Meyer goes Into the Cabinet, or as Secretary of the Navy to succeed Bonaparte, who, it is understood, will soon take up the portfolio of Attorney-General Moody. Anyway, he won't starve, for Higglns is worth fully a mil lion dollars. 1 n NEW BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY The following are the hooks that have been added to the Portland Publiic Li brary: PHILOSOPHY.

He's good natured in both and Just for that may be forgiven. Mr. .Collier here we drop the "kidding" and slur the half-note, vehemently de nies that he Is ambitious to play "Ham let'' or is negotiating for the rights of "Monte Chrlsto" when Jiim O'Neil gets through with it. Just as ood men have been as outspoken in their Intentions and still found themselves undone. I thing Collier's peril lies In his desire to write his own plays. He has tried It before and. been only moderately suc cessful. Now he and Grant Stewart, who plays the "Duke of Carbondale" are ex perimenting again. They rehearsed the company in "Caught In the Rain'", while they were here and as a penance will play The Dalles on their way EasU.;. That should be enough but they Insist that their new piece is all right and will 'pro duce it on Broadway early in November. In the main the' producing company will be the same as appeared here last week. It ought to succeed. Here's hoping It will. But the dear reader who reads the Sunday paper in lieu pf going to church would like a character study to gloat upon. Would he not? Probably yes. Well, the venerated Mr. Collier, as has been hinted, wears rather emotional clothing. He speaks Engliish with a Flight New York accent and appears to be old enough to know better. He thinks Bryan is unconstltutionaal and favors the nomination of Lincoln J. Carter In li8. His thinking is easy and natural while his chest expansion is by no means abnormal. He prefers ham and to shred ded sawdust as a breakfast food and maintains that Castorla In moderate doses will prolong human life. His fav orite author Is not George M. Cohan and he doesn't carry a lap-dog. In stature he Is not large but haughty, his eyes are liquid blue almost soulful in the sunlight. His face would be proud and patrician If It were not Irish and one of his lower front teeth is missing. My subject may possess other strik ing characteristics. He has much.

E HOLMES BUSINESS COLLEGE IS OPENED TO THE PUBLIC. Mrs. G. Holraea Lawrence, President and Founder of Institution, Greets Hundred oC Friends. One oj the most unique educational receptions ever held In Portland was that . given yesterday afternoon and night In the splendid new quarters of the Holmes Business College, at Tenth and Washington streets. The recep tion was given by Mrs. G. Holmes Lawrence, the president and founder of the Institution, and the members of the faculty and was signally success ful, as well as unique. Hundreds of persons called and were received. They were shown about the elegant new home of the school and were agreeably surprised with the completeness of the model institution.. Among the callers were many of the former students of the college who have since achieved suc cess in' business, aided no little by. the excellent training they obtained at the Holmes school. The wonderful growth of the institution Is a source of great satisfaction to them and they take a personal interest In it. Mrs. Lawrence received In the reception-room, assisted by Mrs. George Blakely, wife of Judge Blakely, of The Dalles. Mrs. Blakely was the first student of the Holmes Business- Col lege when it was founded by Mrs. Law rence some 20 years ago. Then the stu dents received their Instruction and recited In one tiny room. There were but 20 students the first year. The in dications are that for this year 500 or more pupils will be enrolled, and, in stead of one room, the Holmes Busi ness College occupies an entire upper floor of a modern building with a dozen of rooms. Professor Merwin Pugh and Profes sor R. F. Barnes, both ex-teachers, also assisted Mrs. Lawrence. The members of the faculty received In their respective departments, and they were assisted by, their friends and ex students. Mrs. E. H. Taggart, principal of the academic department, was assisted by R. M. Babcock, Miss Lena Cunning ham, Mrs. Bray, Miss Helen Delano, Miss Annie Mann and William A. Sell wood. Those who assisted Professor A. L. McCauley, of the commercial depart ment, were Miss Josephine Jenkins, Robert Henderson and M. H. Brown. Mrs. Jennie. Conner, of the short hand department, who hus been with the college for the past 13 years, was assisted by Miss Mary Cook, Miss Grace Forde and George Siegner. Those who helped Miss Gwendoline Lovltt, of the typewriting department. OREGON YOUNG MAN The wedding of J. A. Kramien, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

'Mr. and Mrs. Kramien will make their home in Bloomington, "as, Mm FOURTH AND MORRISON In the receiving were Miss Ella Strong and Furnish Slater. Gordon Jones, of the publicity de partment, was assisted by Miss Grace Matthews, bookkeeper of the Institu tion. The offices and schoolrooms were handsomely decorated with Autumn leaves and Indian baskets tastefully arranged. The reception was held be tween 2 o'clock and 6 o'clock in the afternoon and from S o'clock to 10 o'clock at night. During these hours music was provided by Webber's string orchestra. There is marked difference between the Holmes Business College and most educational institutions. It is a school and a modern business house com bined. There Is to be found all the inner workings of an up-to-date busi ness concern where business is trans acted the same as it Is in the big wholesale, commission and banking houses of Portland. That this Is of In calculable benefit to the pupils there can be no doubt, as Is shown by the hundreds of students turned out from the college who have risen rapidly in the business world since leaving the institution. The arrangement of the rooms In the new quarters of the school could hardly be - more complete. Every de partment occupies a separate room, so that there can be no confusion. In praise of the furnishing of the quar ters too much cannot be said. The partitions between the rooms are so arranged that they can be re moved at a moment's notice and the whole upper floor of the building con verted into one great auditorium. This will be particularly convenient on Fri day mornings, when prominent business men will give the students practical talks. The regular Fall term of th school begins tomorrow, when the night school also opens. Five Tons of Dynamite Explode. NASHVILLE, Sept. 15. The powder magazine of the Keystone Powder & Manufacturing Company, four miles from here, in which was stored 10,000 pounds of dynamite, exploded today. The report was heard 40 miles.

Jealousy is supposed to have, prompted the deed. Plan to Partition C. H. & D. NEW TORK, Sept. 15. The World to day prints a report that the syndicate of bankers, which is holding the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad, is now working on a plan- by which a portion of it Is to be turned over to the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the remainder to the Morgaij-Vanderbilt roads.

Jones is coexistent with many persons really Socialists, and it shows the absolute necessity of .a thorough un derstanding of the subject of Socialism, so that a man will not get discouraged at "the size of the job that is ahead of him." While It Is necessary to have the ma jority to institute the programme of So cialism, it is not going to be necessary to "convert this whole outfit and make good, class-conscious, scientific Socialist voters out of its discordant and incon gruous factors." -ni-.u.TC-.. You say editorially: "It Is the testi mony of history that the people never rise without cause." You have stated in a manner of your own the discovery of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, made In the year 1848, vli.: "That consequently the whole history of mankind (since the dissolution of primitive tribal society holding land in common ownership) has been a history of class struggles, contests between exploit ing and exploited, ruling and oppressed classes; that the history of these class struggles forms a series of evolution in which, nowadays, a stage has been reached where the exploited and the op pressed class the proletariat cannot at tain its emancipation from the sway of the exploiting class the bourgeoisie without at the same time, and once for all, emancipating society at large from all exploitation, oppression, class distinctions and class struggles." Keeping this fact well in mind, there is no need of getting scared at the word Socialism and Its doctrine, since I my self have seen the evolution going on in society, dn which this teaching has suc cessively passed through the stages of being ignored, ridiculed, traduced and misrepresented. Alignment Clearer. The alignment is going on in the evolu. tlon of society whereby these class dis tinctions are becoming cleared and more marked every day, and will continue so to do regardless of what any man may say, since, with the laws extant protect ing the "vested interests," the work of confiscation of the natural resources, in dustrial inventions and developments are rapidly concentrating .into fewer and fewer hands. While our export commerce and bal ance of trade make a favorable newspa per showing, it Is Illusory, and 4t Is not well to make too analytical investigation of tfcese statements, for the reason that we will And that It consists largely of raw products and improved labor-saving machinery that is welding more tightly the conditions that will be the means of our own undoing and precipitate the class struggle. And 'With the vast acreage being devel oped, in the necessities of life, as wheat, corn, cotton, sheep and cattle In the Ar gentine Republic, India, Russia; Manchu ria, the Canadian Northwest and the United States, without a large number of men drawn from the useful workers Into the armies of the world In the work of both the destruction of life and prop erty, and the nations of the world bur dening the peoples with a large war in debtedness to supply these armies with the necessities of life, it will, become very apparent and obvious, as in India and Russia, the world will face starvation in the' midst of plenty. The Socialist movement is confronted with a great world problem as It has against the "vested interests.", the Kings and potentates, the pulpit and the pew and the majority of the publications in the shape of the magazines and news papers. Hastening the Crisis. It seems a superhuman task and It would be useless to waste any time, thought or energy in this great struggle If it were not for the fact that all -the forces of nature as well as man made laws and avarice Is hastening the crisis and It may be Just possible that the so cialist movement may not have the time with all Its efforts In the work of agita tion, education and devotion of its rank and file to educate a sufficient number of the people for the cataclysm that Is as sure to come as the night follows the day If there is not an intelligent remedy and programme to prevent the destruc tion of life and property. So long as labor Is a commodity on the market, the same as hogs, the only difference, being that one Is regulated by the clock while the other by the scales, and while the value Is more than the price paid it is simply a matter of demand and supply. With a surplus value being constantly created which labor is not able to buy back we must soon have our granaries and warehouses filled with no new FOURTH AND MORRISON Store. countries to exploit, and the transpor tation lines reconstructed, manufactur ing establishments supplied with every labor-saving device, etc., the old cry of overproduction will be abpoad in the land. Now the wage working class number ing over 20.000,000 by the United States census of 1900. or three-fourths of the population and who only receive one quarter of the value of their product, are slowly learning and as they are more and more precipitated into the class struggle with many of the 8,000,000 farm ers, farm tenants and shopkeepers (the middle class), socialism will be to them the only remedy as against 250,000 pluto crats. Socialism simply proposes to restore to the "children of men" what the Creator of the universe claims, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." Psalms 24. and said in Psalms cxv:16, "the earth hath he given to the children of men." How is it that men sequestered from the creator that which he hath "given to the children of men?" There are only three ways that "the earth and fullness thereof" could be secured from the "children of men," viz.: - First The right of conquest; the land has been stolen or won by the owner or his ancestors. ' . Second The right of gift; the land has been received as a gift, bequest or grant. Third The right of purchase; the lan has been bought and paid for. Now. the original titles of most land (given by the Lord to the children of men) rest upon conquest or theft. Either the land was won by the conqueror and by him given in fief to his barons, or it has been stolen from the common right and enclosed by some lord of the manor or other brigand. Now stolen land carries no moral title. What the sword has won . the sword must hold. He who has taken land by force has a title to It only so long as he can hold It by force; therefore our police, militia. Federal troops, standing armies and navies. The second and third rights of gift and purchase must certainly be invalid and it is manifest that no man can have a moral right to anything given or sold to him by another person who had no right to the thing given or sold. He who buys a watch, a horse, a house or any other article -from one who has no right to the watch, horse or house, must render up the article to the rightful owner, and lose the price or recover it from the seller. If a man has no moral right to sell or give land, then another man can have .no moral right to keep land bought or received in gift from him, ad finem. Eminent British Authorities. Allow me to quote from a few eminent authorities of many that were and are not socialists: Right Honorable Jo seph Chamberlain In 1885: The rights of property have been so much extend ed that the rights of the community have almost altogether disappeared, and It is hardly too much to say that the prosperity and the comfort and the liberties of a great proportion of yie population have been laid at the feet of a small number of proprietors, who neither toil nor spin. The great lawyer. Sir William Blackstone Accurately and strictly speaking, there is no foundation In na ture or in natural law why a set of words on parchment should convey the dominion of land. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge These laws might be for the general advantage, and if they could be shown to be so, by all means they should be maintained; but if not, does any man, with what he is pleased to call his mind, deny that a state of law under which such mischief could exist, un der which the country itself would ex ist, not for its people, but for a mere handful of them, ought to be Instantly and absolutely set aside. Two years later, in 1889. the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone said: "Those persons who possess large portions of the earth's space are not altogether in the same position as possessors of mere personality. Personality does not impose limitations on the action and industry of man and the well-being of tue community as possession of land does, and, therefore, I freely own that compulsory expropriation Is a thing which Is admissible, and even sound in principle. Socialism does not propose to equalize anything or any body, nor has it ever taught any such foolish ideas." It Is only men who have no knowl edge of the subject or a sinister mo tive In misrepresenting its principles that give such erroneous and conflict ing ideas of the subject. Socialism proposes that "the chil dren of men shall have the earth and the fullness thereof" restored to them and that it shall remain the common or collective heritage of not only those living, but of those yet unborn. They shall have the democratic man agement thereof. They shall have an equal oppor tunity to enjoy the benefits of the same and that every person shall be entitled to the full product of his or her labor, no more and no less, then it will be true "that if any would not Monday's Special Jap.

Cook: Whereas, It has been our great mis fortune and sorrow to have had the life of our fellow-traveller and friend, Archie A. Cook, taken from us by the fell de stroyer, death, and although we grieve and sorrow over his death, coming as it did just in the fullness of his life and work, yet we must bow our heads in sub mission to the will of a higher power and learn to say, "Thy will, not mine," In the death of Archie A. Cook, this Division of the Travelers' Protective As sociation of America loses its chief exe cutive officer. Mr. Cook was unani mously elected to the office of President of the Oregon and Washington Division last December. He was a faithful, honorable and cour teous man one who possessed the mag netism necessary to draw close and keep) friends; honest to a fault: a friend worth, possessing, and a husband and father be yond reproach. At the time of his death Mr. Cook was 36 years of age. Born in Newfoundland, coming from sturdy, honest stock, he early gave promise of success, and by reason of energy, ability and constant work, he had accumulated enough to leave his dear ones well provided for.
