GLADSTONE PARK. Or., July 20.
Special.) John Mitchell, noted labor
leader and characterized as the "most
modest big man In the United States,
thrilled a sympathetic audience of 3500
persons at the Chautauqua session to
day in his lecture, "The Philosophy,
Purposes and Ideals of the Trades
Union Movement." The labor champion
created a wave of sympathy that was
remarkable for an audience consisting
of comparatively few union men.
Whether it was forcible delivery, or
his argument In favor of trade union
ism, or his modesty in excluding from
his talk any reference to his own
achievements for labor, that enabled
his hearers to see the labor movement
from a new viewpoint. Is difficult to
say. Only once did Mr. Mitchell men
tlon his own career and that was after
the introductory speech of Secretary
Young, of the Oregon Federation.
"Experience has taught me one
thing," said Mr. Mitchel!. "Keep your
eyes on the stars but your feet on the
. gravel."
Suffrage Mm Favored.
Only once did Mr. Mitchell digress
from his subject tnat was to congratu- ,
late the women of Oregon on their
work for the cause of equal suffrage.
The sentiment .of unionism was for
suffrage, said Mr. Mitchell, "primarily
for its benefit to the 5,000,000 women
who are at work In our American fac
tories and are subject to the same fac
tory regulations as the men, and sec
ondarily, because women in general
use the ballot for the moral welfare of
this country." Commenting on the
talk of Dr. Clarence True Wilson at the
Chautauqua last Tuesday when the
Portland man argued that ''woman's
sphere Is- the home not the ballot,"
Mr. Mitchell called the attention of
his hearers to the "narrow home
sphere" of the American working wom
en of today.
Summarizing a history of the Indus
trial revolution and the growth of the
factory system, from which the unions
sprang, Mr. Mitchell set forth the dis
advantage through lack of bargaining
skill which the Individual laborer must
meet in selling his work to the skilled ;
employer who has hired thousands, and
this, according to Mr. Mitchell, very
naturally brought about an approach
to the ideal condition wherein em
ployes must deal collectively, rather
than individually with the buyers of la
bor. "Our purposes are simple," said the
speaker. "To secure a minimum wage
that we may live in accordance with
the rightful standard of living In Amer
ica, to insist on education of our and
your children; to provide against a
poverty-stricken old age; to secure
the eight-hour day; to legislate against
child labor; to provide 'for workmen's
compensation acts, and to secure sani-
tary housing of our families. These are
the things we are working for."
Mistakes Are Admitted.
Conservatism characterized his re
marks. He admitted that the union
made mistakes. Even as the church,
sometimes the state, or any other great
movements err," he said. "Our unions
are neither revolutionary nor df struc- I
tive; our purpose is constructive,
rather; our work evolutionary.
"Thank God our radical element Is
in the minority." Then he read the
pledge which Is exacted of the laboring
man when he joins the Federation.
"There are not many men," concluded
the labor chieftain, "that could blow up
buildings on a diet like that."
He championed the eight-hour law
on the argument that the man earns
more In eight hours than he will earn
in a ten-hour day.

PRACTICAL. FEATURE AT ALBAKT SUMMER ASSEMBLY.
ALBANY, Or., July 20. (Special.) One of the leading features of
the third annual Chautauqua assembly held here this month was a
children's playground. It was the first organized children's playground
ever established in this city, and proved so successful as a safe place of
amusement for children while their parents enjoyed the classes and
programmes of the Chautauqua that it will te a regular feature of
Chautauqua assemblies in this city hereafter.
The success of Albany's Initial experiment with an organized play
ground has led to a discussion, which may result In the establishment
of a permanent playground in this city soon.
The playground was located under the beautiful shade trees of
Bryant's Park about 200 yards south of the Chautauqua Auditorium. A
wire fence separated it from the remainder of the park, and it was
equipped with swings, a big slide, horizontal and parallel bars, teeter
boards, a sand btn and paraphernalia for basketball and other games.
The plavground was established by the Chautauqua board, and was
in charge of Miss Flo Nutting, of this city, who managed it most successfully.

hours of labor he declared, means an
Improvement in the whole moral tone
of the laboring community, a greater
self-respect and an improved mental
status. He disputed the argument of
labor union opponents that shorter
hours increased opportunity for dissipa
tion, asserting that the rule worked
the other way.
Mr. Mitchell said strikes were neces
sary, but suggested It as a remedy only
when all other efforts to bring to
gether employers and empoyes, have ,
failed.
"The strike is an evil, I willingly
admit,' he continued, "and still it Is
not so great an evil as child labor,
depraved manhood, or deprived wo
manhood. Our principles should not be
assailed because of occasional acts of
violence.
Accomplishments Are Cited.
"Our work has resulted In increased
efficiency. We have raised the moral
tone of our communities, we have de
fended the weak against the strong:
we have uplifted the ignorant immi
grant; we have protected the women
and children of our factories; we have
considered man rather than the dol
lar, and even with our ideals partly I
realized we have unquestionably com
mitted error. Our work, however, is
an upward movement.
"We are working earnestly for the
uplift of our workmen, and we are
proud of some three million of our
brothers who are striving to assist
their felloe nen."
Mr, Mitchell's concluding remarks
were received with enthusiastic ap
plause. Mr. Mitchell has a powerful
stage presence, but he avoids the cli- j

SALEM. Or- July 20. (Special.)
Prevention of tuberculosis In this and
coming generations through education
or the child was the keynote of today ;
meetings at the tuberculosis exhibit
here. Prominent physicians and lay
men from Portland and. Salem deliv
ered telling- addresses. Among those
who attended the lectures were 73 stu
dents from the Oregon Normal School
who will become teachers of the school
children of Oregon.
Dr. Calvin a White, secretary of the
State Board of Health, gave two ad
dresses. In one he urged the necessity
of sanitation both In the home and in
the school. He pointed out that next
to laundry workers, teachers appear
highest in the mortality rate, this being
largely due to the manner in which
they live. He also warned against ex
posure from teacher to child or child
to teacher.
Dr. Charles R. McClure. of Portland,
urged the necessity of learning that
prevention is the best cure for tubercu
losis. Constant inspection of the
young -he gave as the best safeguard
for the future. The difficulty of lm
parting information to the adult of
each home he gave as a reason why
the children should be taught in the
schools how to arm themselves against
tuberculosis and by this method free
the younger generation from possibil
ity of contracting the disease.
Hereditary Dlneaiie Denied.
He repudiated as time-worn the the
ory that tuberculosis is hereditary, de
claring that only in rarest cases is there
direct transmission from parent to
child. Children, he stated, may be born
with low cell power, because of par
ents' weakness, which will cause them
to be highly susceptible to contraction
of tuberculosis. In the greater num
ber of cases tubercular baccilli are
transmitted to the child through air,
drink or food, and this Is the danger to
be prevented, he said.

'HOME RTXE" TO BE SLOGAN
Each State, Says Colonel, Miust Work
Out Own Problems.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., July 20. "Home
rule" Is to be the policy in the forma
tion of the National Progressive party.
After a conference with leaders from
several states, Colonel Roosevelt said
tonight that each state wuld work
out its own problems.
Is there any truth In reports of
serious discord In several states?" he
was asked.
"Those of you who were present at
the convention in Chicago," he said.
'know lust how much truth there Is
in statements of that kind."
It was pointed out that the difficul
ties which confront the new party are
of another nature, consisting rather In
putting a National organization on its
feet in such a short period, especially
in states where there is a lack of ca
pable leaders.
George L. Record, who came here to
day from New Jersey: Charles H. i
Thompson, from Vermont; Herbert
Knot Smith, former Commissioner or
Corporations, from Connecticut, and
John H. Maginnis and Colonel Thomas
Daughtery, from Massachusetts, denied
there was anything in the nature of
a break in the new party's ranks.
I want ex-Democrats and ex-Repub
licans alike," Colonel Roosevelt said.
He added that he would insist that in
state should the new party enter
into an agreement with the Republican
organization under which It would bind
itself to support electors who would
vote for President Taft should he ob
tain the largest popular vote. The
only restriction he would impose, he
said, would be that in no case must
upport be thrown to state candidates
who would not support the National
Progressive electors.
Mr. Thompson, who Is New England
manager of the party, said he was In
doubt how the movement would fare
In hia bailiwick.
"In our conference with ; Colonel
Roosevelt," he said, "we decided to in-
orse no candidates for state offices
who would not support the Roosevelt
lectors. It was also decided that all
over New England candidates for elec
tors would be run independently.
Mr. Thompson explained that the
Roosevelt forces would not have con
trol of the Republican organization in
any of the New England states and
that it would be necessary to name
lectoral candidates Independently.
'Are you counting on carrying all
of the New England States?", he was
asked.
' No. we are not," he replied, "but I
think we have a good chance to carry
some of them. In fact we have a good
hance in all of these states except
Rhodo Island."
In Massachusetts, Mr. Thompson con
tinued, the Roosevelt leaders have been
scratching their heads to find an
available candidate for Governor. Colo
nel Roosevelt settled their difficulties,
he said, by proposing a man whose
identity he would not disclose, whom
e described as Just the person to head
the ticket.
Mr. Record said there was trouble In
the party In New Jersey.
'The bulk of the leaders favor Tun
ing an independent ticket through
ut," he said. "I am In favor of Tun
ing our candidates on the Roosevelt
ticket. We have won our victory In
the Republican party and I don't see
hy we should give that up. The ques
tion has not been decided. It will be
left open until after the Chicago con-
entlon and we will settle it in tne
light of what is decided up there."

Kulcr of England to Improve Koyul
Stables at Once.
LONDON', July 13. (Special.) In
spite of his reluctance to take up
horseraclnf? and Queen Mary's dis
like of gambling:,. King: George appears
to have become persuaded that the
sport of Kings Is worth following.
Hence he is showing: much greater
interest In the turf than was the case
a few years ago.. It is a matter of
some regret to him that his royal
stable is at present ' so deficient In
quality, and steps to strengthen It are
to be taken before another flat-racing:
season comes round.
It is now announced hat the King
will visit the Newmarket for one of
the early meetings and will occupy his
quarters at the Jockey Club. During
the reign of the late King: Kdward
it was currently Usserted that the
then Prince of Wales took no real in
terest In the turf, and attended the
races only at his father's request It
was likewise confidently asserted that
whenever he came to the throne the
royal racing stud would be broken
up, but events have falsified that Idea.

LONDON, July 13. (Special.) Lon
don is remarkably full at present, and
In a strol along the Strand or Regent
street a constant babel of foreign
tongues can be heard? The Yankee
drawl, however, predominates, and any
enterprising hotel or restaurant an
nouncing the sale of cocktails or any
other beverage dear to the American
palate is sure of generous custom.
The theaters and music halls are do
ing a marvelous business for the time
of year, it being almost impossible to
book seats for some weeks in advance
at the principal playhouses. The ex
hibitions, too, are sharing in the pros
perity, and crowds are seen nightly at
the White City.
