16 ALBEE SEES HOPE F New Era Dawning in Portland, Says Mayor,' Who Points to Spirit of Change. WRONGS TO BE RIGHTED Executive Says He Will Work With Sole Idea of Seeing That Those Unable to Pay Receive Just Dues at All Tlmea. BT H. R. ALBEE. Mayor of Portland, in Labor Prssa. I have always welcomed any oppor tunity to apeak or write lor or to per form an act that will be of benefit to honest labor. I therefore am flad to contribute to this Issue of the Labor Press a few words which, I slnoerely trust, may prove of some worth to those who read them. Usually, a Mayor la expected to dwell at- length on the material progress of the city and to extoll its commercial advantages at more or less volume upon occasion and, while I have no wish to minimise this feature of Port land, I prefer at this time to give par tlcular attention to some other phases of municipal activity, especially with reference to future development with regard to the masses. Pre-Kleetioa Promises Few. Those who are familiar with my statements during the late campaign will doubtless recall that, while on the platform during those weeks preced ing the election. I made no promises save and except that, if elected, I would devote my time and talents all I have to give to the advancement of every legitimate interest of the city. They will also recall, no doubt, that upon certain occasions, when ques tioned concerning my attitude toward organized labor and what action I would take along certain lines relating thereto. I replied that, were it possible for me, should I become the chief ex ecutive of the city, to bring ubout a better understanding between capital and labor, and- were 1 to accomplish nothing else worthy of note. I should be content to retire to private life, be lieving that I had left some little monu ment in the world that would reflect some credit. I also said at that time that capital , has the means with which to protect Itself, at least to a large extent, and that I should consider it a very Im portant part of my work as Mayor to give serious consideration to the wel fare of the laborer. Rlgfet of Labor Considered. Since assuming the duties of the ofnce of Mayor I have of necessity been brought Into contact with condi tions that have caused me to give even more serious thought to the rights of the laborer than ever before, so that It occurs to me that some space de voted to the outlook for betterment along these lines may be valuable and advantageous at this time. We all know that the material stand ing and prospect of Portland is as sured; of that there has not been for years and is not now the slightest doubt: this city is already assuming large proportions in the commercial world and Is constantly developing Into a port of great magnitude. Millions of dollars are being poured out to make here a metropolis that will figure around the world. In every feature of endeavor. I have the greatest of Interest; as Mayor and as citizen. I have at heart the welfare of business and shall lend my support to every legitimate line of upbuilding, but vnile so doing. I want also to see to it that the men and women who toll and those who have not the means at their command to maki money by In vestment 'or by engaging In business, shall have for themselves enough to Insure their health, happiness and a future of at least comfortable sur roundings, so long as they are willing to labor and give to the world a fair return therefor. Conditions to Be Remedied. There is not .the least doubt but that there are conditions in the city today which should not for a moment be tolerated; workers are being paid less than living wages in some in stances; they are compelled, by the very necessity of things, to labor un der conditions that are unsanitary thereby endangeriug their own health and. as a result, breaking down the foundations of the human family. All of these things must and shall be reme died In time. As I look about and see the things that are being done by various agen cies. I catch a new vision of things as they ought to be. We are no longer Ignoring the con ditions that exist, but we are attack ing wrongs and Insisting that what is right shall prevail. A spirit of fair play Is abroad, not only in Portland, but throughout the entire country: men and women of means and ability are beginning to realise that they have a duty to others and are no longer refusing to recog nize that they owe to the less fortunate something that must be paid. Graft in high places Is being attacked from all sides: no longer is the public official or anyone else Immune from the searchlight of investigation be cause he is a public official or because he or she holds some sort of power temporarily. The pitiless probe is be ing wielded as never before and the lines are sharply drawn between what is right and what Is wrong; the public is awakened to the fact that they must keep their eyes on all who serve them, not so much to carp and criticise false ly as to suggest and co-operate in the never-ending effort to bring about con ditions that more nearly meet the re quirements of the whole people. Demand Is for Betterment. Here In Portland, where those of us who have cast our lot In this great center, the people have ordered what Is perhaps the most radical change in government ever inaugurated in an American municipality. They have said by their ballots that they demand something better along the lines of city government than they have ever had. It Is not only an honor, but a grave responsibility, which now rests upon the servants whom the people have chosen to work out the new conditions which have been ordered. It is along the lines of progress and development of human rights irhich are being sought and even demanded everywhere In this nation. Special privilege Is to be abolished and the reign of equal rights ushered in; the poor and the rich are to be treated alike such is the Insistent de mand of the times. The era of playgrounds and recrea tion centers, of fresh air and sunshine Is upon us: Jails, with their gloomy walls are still necessary, but thank God. we are not looking to them for complete reform and restraint as we once did: they are Incidentals now. In- OR LABORING MEN MAYOR OF PORTLAND. WHO BELIEVES MODERN MOVEMENT IS TOVARD BETTERMENT FOR ALL CLASSES mi: x Jt" -J is L H. B. stead, we are bringing into requisition features that. I have no doubt, event ually will make better citizens and will in time lender the jail system all but valueless. Playgrounds Better Than Jails. A dollar for a playground, where children can go and have proper recrea tion, is an Investment that will oar so ciety a thousand fold. More such di version centers and less Jails and re form schools. Is the watchword now. As every cloud Is said to have a sil ver lining, so does every human heart have some bright spot; we are looking for that spot and are trying to forget the dark things. Just so far aa is pos sible under our social system. As yet, these new ways are in their infancy, but the start has been mads and will show an ever-Increasing efficiency. Labor, by co-operating with Its true friends, those who are willing to do much and shout little, should be a great force In bringing about the best results from the changed conditions. The old system of fines or the Jail for the unfortunate woman is already a thing of the past In Portland; few. If any, of these poor creatures are be ing so treated. Instead, we are grop ing about, looking for a means of es tablishing an Industrial home, where they may be sent to enter upon a new life: where they may be taught useful vocations and receive encouragement. Instead of being dogged about from pillar to post and being made the prey of every vulture In human form who happens to come their way. Moral Rights Recognised. No longer are we satisfied to permit conditions to care for themselves; no longer are we content to say that we are not our brother's keeper. The poor and the downtrodden are no longer friendless: the widow and the orphan are receiving attention; the wayward child Is cared for in a humane man ner; the homeless are provided for; our Legislatures are recognizing the moral and spiritual rights of the people and. on the whole, we are making rapid progress. Never before has there been so much agitation for better things. Never be fore have we had a Public Welfare Commission, the business of which is to seek out conditions and Inform the world of them, and to decide upon the facts as to what constitutes wages enough to support in proper manner a working glrL These things all fore shadow improvement, not only along material lines, but as much along tne lines of real advancement In things moral and things human. It occurs to me, as I think over these things of such Importance to all of us, that there Is a grave individual respon sibility In this matter. None of us are Immune from' it; we cannot escape it: we owe something to our fellows and that something depends upon what we have, what .we are and what our in fluence and opportunity are. crlndshrdlu cm atefwypol shrdlu etee The public servant is responsible for much: I accept full responsibility for my share, and shall endeavor to dis charge my duties fully and faithfully. Responsibility Rests on Press. The press Is responsible for much; its duty is solemn and the service it may render of unmeasured proportions. It can make for good or bad condi tions. No matter how bad an Indi vidual may be. a newspaper which uses its columns to engender class preju dice and to stir up strife is as many times as bad cs that man, multiplied by as many readers as that paper may have. Such a paper is a menace to any community and Is a public nuisance. On the other hand, a paper which seeks to build up a friendly feeling between classes Is Just as many times as good as a good man or woman as it has readers, for its Influence Is of a magni tude almost beyond comprehension. When I had been in office less than two weeks I had occasion, following a meeting of the Council, to discuss city affairs with the representatives of four dally papers. I told them, when ask ing their co-operation, that. If they would assist in the work for the next four years, we could bring about changes in Portland that would make It so much better we would scarcely know it. I said, however, that should the newspapers for any reason, not care to co-operate. I would go right along doing the very best I could in accom plishing something for humanity, but. of course, not as much as could be done with their help. I have made the same statement to all sorts of organizations and Individuals, and. as heretofore, I want the aid of ail. regardless of re ligion, politics or position In life, who are looking for human betterment. Every man. woman and child has a responsibility In making conditions better. They should co-operate with every good agency in so doing. The church also has an important function to perform. The labor unions, the In dustrial organisations and every asso ciation which stands for law and order i J - Photo by Grove. ALBEE. -nd improvement is charged with Its full share of responsibility. As Mayor of Portland, I pledge ray full sympathy and support to every good movement for betterment and ap peal to the citizens regardless of olass to co-operate in the -work. - 3 DISTANCE COVERED IN TWO HOCKS AND SS-MIXCTES. Athletes Enter Water at Oaks and Quit After Touching Pier of Hawthorne Bridge. Mrs. Beth Morehouse and Mrs. E. M. Blackmar, two young women swimmers of Portland, swam from the Oaks bath ing pavilion to the Hawthorne bridge Friday afternoon In two hours and 35 minutes. They are among the first women In Portland to make this swim. the distance of which was declared by members of the harbor patrol to be about three miles. The women were accompanied in the water by John Kirk, owner of the bath ing pavilion at the Oaks, who dragged with him a canoe attached to his belt by a light line. At the conclusion of the swim the women, who wore boys' suits, donned their wrappers and Kirk paddled them back to the Oaks. Mrs. Morehouse is the wife of A. K. Morehouse and lives at 807 Twenty Urst street, while Mrs. Black man lives at Jane and Charles streets, in the Berkeley Addition.' The women left the Oaks at noon with Mr. Kirk and touched one of the bridge piers at 2:35. Mrs. Morehouse made the distance without any assist ance whatsoever, but Mrs. Bla-ckmar was strangled by the wash of one of the large river steamers just south of Ross Island. The steamer approached the swimmers unusually close and after it had passed Kirk pushed the canoe over to Mrs. Blackmar and suggested she take hold. Mrs. Blackmar support ed herself by the canoe for live minutes, when she continued the swim. Neither Kirk nor either of the women left the watr from start to finish. Mrs. Blackmar had never done any distance swimming. learning to swim and having most of her practice In tanks. She learned to swim in Chicago, but with Mrs. Morehouse has recently been working out under Miss Millie Schloth. Mrs. Morehouse Is a comparatively new swimmer, having been Instructed from the first by Miss Schloth. Re cently she has been practicing In the Oaks tank and lnclosure. and after watching her work Mr. Kirk told her he was confident she could make the dis tance.

WEST URGES PLAYGROUND Governor Would Have City of Salem Make Purchase. SALEM. Or, Aug. 30. (Special.) In a letter to the City Council of Salem, Governor West urges that the tract of land embraced by Mission. Oak, Church and Winter streets, this city, be made a children's playground. The state owns about one-half the tract." writes the Governor, "and the greater part of the remainder is free from buildings. It appears to be par ticularly well adapted for park or children's playground purposes. A creek runs through it and it is well covered with shade trees " , THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, POKTLAXD, AUGUST 31, 1913. RECRUITING STATION OPENED AT ARMORY Men Needed to Fill Ranks of Third Regiment, Oregon National Guards. TARGET WORK ATTRACTIVE WeeklyPracttce on Range at Clack amas, With Possibility or Trip to Camp Perry Held Ont as In ducement by Officers. Recruits wanted Apply evenings at the Armory, Tenth and Couch streets. That is, in effect, the sign that has gone up at the big armory of the Ore gon National Guard, where a big re cruiting campaign has been launched for the purpose of bringing the Third Oregon Infantry regiment up to lis maximum peace footing. Every effort will be put forth by the regiment to get more desirable men in the ranks, and it is expected that this can be accomplished in the course of a few weeks, after which a waiting list of ellgibles will be established. At present there is room for more than 100 men. Many inducements are put forth by the state service. It is pointed out by the recruiting officers that service in the Oregon National Guard is not only instructive and beneficial in many ways, but It Is lucrative. When the recruit is sworn In he Is provided with every thing necessary to service. Without expense to himself he is provided with several uniforms, a rifle, belt, ammuni tion, field equipment and incidentals. He is then assigned to a company and given drill designed to fit him for mili tary service In the field. All that la required of him Is that he have health and a normal amount of nerve. Actual field service Is the ultimate aim of this training. Rifle Practice Attractive. Many attractions are shown at the recruiting office as belonging to serv ice In the National Guard. Foremost among these Is the target practice at the Clackamas station rttle range. Not only is the rifle and ammunition pro vided, but transportation and meals are paid for by the state, a special car on the Southern Pacific conveying the local troops to the range each Sunday. The range Is a tract of some 340 acres with plenty of shade, a clubhouse, mess hall, shower baths and baseball dia mond in addition to the target range. Attendance at drill once each week Is required. This is business. But the Armory provides many attractions to the members of the Guard. A big free gymnasium, the finest dancehall In Portland, at which numerous military balls are to be given exclusively to National Guardsmen and their ladles. Indoor athletics and field sports and many wholesome associations are among the inducements. Colonel Martin Im Ctmausi. The recruiting campaign Just launched follows the assignment to the regiment of Colonel C I- Martin. United States Army, as commanding officer. The War Department, in detailing Colonel Mar tin, has In view the building up of a model regiment. As showing the efficiency hich has been developed In marksmanship, dis patches from Camp Perry tell of the remarkable work of the Oregon rifle team In the National matches on the south shores of Lake Kris. From among the best riflemen in the Guard, 12 are sent East each year In a special Pullman coach to compete In this event In which all states in the Union are represented and all branches of the Regular service. Not only did the Ore gon team beat every other National Guard organization in the country, but finished ahead of the United States In fantry, being led by but two teams, the United States Cavalry and the United States Navy. Office Open at Armory. For the purpose of enlisting Tecrults and supplying all desired Information to those who make Inquiry officers will be on duty at the Armory each night. except Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A special recruiting office has been equipped near the entrance to the Ar mory and here full information win be provided from 8:30 until 11 o'clock. Promotion Is open to all and the recruit who applies himself and shows an Interest In military science doea not have to wait long for his chevrons. All of the officers have served their time in the ranks and with few excep tions the regimental commanders have come from the same source. Linn Grain Yield Above Normal. ALBANY. Or, Aug. SO. (Special. With oats averaging 50 bushels and wheat almost 25 bushels, the grain yield In Linn County is the best in many years. .

On some farms this year oats have yielded as high as 90 bushels. BEAUTIFUL CHURCH IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT MARSH- FIEXjD. A ir r- ' i TV V --z . ., i at s EPISCOPAL EDIFICE TO COST tI2Jl At the comparatively small cost of 812,000, one of the handsomest little churches on the Coast is being erected at Marshfleld. Or. It will seat a congregation of only 210, but this capacity is considered ample for the needs of the Episcopalians of Emmanuel Church. Marsh field. The architect Is David C. Lewis, of Portland. The church makes up In beauty what it lacks In size. Eeversl mag nificent memorial stained glass windows, a large one at the front of the church and one at the side of the chancel, will shed a soft light Into the new building. In the chancel, which will be two feet high er than the floor of the body of the church, are seats for a vested choir of 16. The interior of the church will be of tinted plaster, with six trusses of rough timber. The pews and pulpits are to be in the same artistic Gothio style. There will be a jipe organ. MILTON A. MILLER IS. STALWART DEMOCRAT "Sage of Lebanon" Ranks as True-Bluo Member of His Party Clang ing Planks in Platform Tail to Worry Him. f5 r V MILTOTf THE! newspapers have been calling him "the sage of Lebanon" for years, perhaps because of n,B po litical perspicacity, or perhaps al though this is admittedly a wild guess, based on an hypothesis as nebulous as the more fashionable dress-fabrics of today because, as druggist to the good people of Lebanon, he has been selling sage along with other herbs and roots, simples and compounds, for more years than he has carried the title that reminds one either of Socratlo wisdom or turkey dressing, ac cording to one's tastes. Milton Armlngton Miller was born on a farm near Lebanon, Linn County, Oregon, August 2S, 186?. His father came from Missouri ana un from Kentucky, so their son was as Inevitably a Dtmocrat as he was an Oregon ian, and he has been pleased with his nativity and his politics ever since. The farm has continued to produce well even unto this day. Milton A. Miller for tne impressive Armlngton is used only cn functional occasions was educated in the com mo nschools and the State University. He taught school, clerked in a store, and In 1887 borrowed enough money to go into the drug business In his home town. When, in 1888, ne mar ried Miss Florence McCalley, ne owea 11000 Mrs. Miller died five years ago. There la one daughter, Mrs. 8. M. Miles, of 481 Thompson street. Portland. There are two grandchildren, Milton and Florence. Mr. Miller Is Some Orator. Milton A. Miller is now collector of Internal revenue for Oregon. But back of his appointment to that Im portant post, with its 84500-a-year sal ary, by President Wilson last July, ri-hM like a broad and shining highway a continuous record of loyalty and service to principles oi jenerson lan Democracy, with any and all ap pendages that may have been added to those principles by such latter-day prophets aa William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson. Milton A. Miller went up and down Oregon in 1896, hurling oratory with both hands Into every city, village and hamlet. Since then he has been on the battle line in every National campaign and the fact that of lato there has been a hole In the platform where the good old 16-to-l plank used to be in the days when mankind was In dan ger of crucifixion on a cross of thorns, with a crown of gold or was It the other way? on it head, has never daunted the sage of Lebanon. He has stepped over whatever holes have been torn In the platform of '96 by later platform carpenters and has stood as staunchly on the new planks as ever he did on the old. For planks may come and planks may go. but the Miller brand of Democracy goes on forever. Just as it does In the Com moner, whether that palladium of the . - - - - . iVw "I ;; i U : " .. V . ..: A.

Three times delegate to Democratic National conventions, twice Demo cratic National committeeman for Ore gon. 12 years a Democratic member of the State Senate it was of such ster ling stuff that the-New Jersey school master, before he settled down to teach Congress Its political A-B-C's, made collectors of Internal revenue, appraisers of customs, collectors of customs, postmasters. United States Marshals and District Attorneys. All are guaranteed to pass the Democratic pure food requirements.. Not one has ever had the slighest aura of Repub licanism clinging, about bis skirts, al though a few can remember when the lights of Populism beckoned alluring ly. As a State Senator Milton A. Miller stood he will tell you that many times that was all he could do, with himself the only . Democrat but one or two to gain seats in the upper house at Salem stood firmly for progressive legislation, economy and reform. He doesn't deny his attitude on any of these things nor the fact that he voted for every measure that has ripened Into law in the celebrated Oregon sys tem of popular government. Goveraer Adds His Praise. When he sent his resignation as State Senator to Governor West a few days ago, the Governor showed his appre ciation of a Democrat that is a very Bayard of Democracy by replying with a letter, in which he said: . "I desire to express my sincere ap preciation of the good service which you have rendered this state, and on behalf of Its citizens to thank you for your untiring efforts in safeguarding their Interest and promoting their wel fare." Thus, while there are 57 varieties of Republicans, each uncertain of the true-blue character of the others, does one Democrat recognise the Democracy of another Democrat. Senator Miller (for bis friends insist on calling him that) believes that the popular election of United States Sena tors is the greatest political reform since the days of the Civil War. He believes that the number of bills that are Introduced In State Legislatures should be limited. He believes that every man should be a politician, in that he should keep closely Informed on political subjects. He advises young men who wish to enter politics to take no thought of defeat, before or after experiencing the same. At that, he Is not advising young men to enter pol itics. - "For." he says, "there Is no royal road. Be sure of your ground and then plow a straight furrow. To say that you never had a chance is simply an admission of weakness. There are al ways chances, and today, with toehold order of petty party politics passing away, there are more than ever." School Systeam Served. Senator Miller was a school direc tor at Lebanon for 18 years, and Is now a member of the board or regents oi the University of Oregon. He Is popular as a citizen of Lebanon and Linn County, popular in official circles st Salem, and his appointment to his present post was the cap sheaf of a long and continuous career of popularity. - Given popularity from all points of the compass, a political record as clean as a Sapolio advertisement. Democracy of the rock-of-ages sort, and an ac quaintance that stretches from Ontario to Astoria, and from Hood River to Lakeview, and you have his friends profess to see it plainly in his political horoscope the Ingredients for an ideal candidate for the Democratic nomina tion for Governor 'of the common wealth of Oregon. Not that the fertile plains and the beautiful valleys and the city of Portland and the forest reserve are not full of Ideal candidates. They are. But this paragraph of the story refers more particularly to the Ideality of the candidacy of Milton Armlngton Miller, collector of Internal revenue for the United States at Portland.
