INTRODUCES PLATFORM.
Democratic Promises Recalled in the
U. S. Senate.
Portland, Ore., July 16. First
having provided an adequate substi
tute for whiskey to the form of a
gift of 25 bubbling fountains for
Portland, S. Benson, millionaire tim
berman, is fairly launched on his
project to wipe out, by constitutional
amendment, every distillery in the
United States.
Although he is a total abstainer
himself, Mr. Benson does not propose
to place this constitutional amend
ment restriction upon the manufac
ture of beer or wines, because of the
honest difference of opinion prevail
ing among medical experts as to the
harmful nature of these beverages.
But declaring whiskey and kindred
spirituous fluid poisons, he would
stamp them out "as one would stamp
out a poisonous serpent in the lane."
For the preliminary work of wiping
out whiskey Mr. Benson has made an
appropriation of $50,000 which he
will draw on as heavily as is neces
sary. "I have the money," said Benson,
"and I believe it my duty to use it
for humanity. We have entered into
this fight from the standpoint of eco
nomics. Religion does not enter into
it at all. Our fight is a strictly busi
ness proposition, and will be conduct
ed strictly on business lines. The
fight may take two years or ten.
I personally have nothing to win or
lose, but I have seen the misery
which whiskey produces. I have seen
bright, energetic men in my lumber
camps become worthless simply
through the appetite for drink.
"Information I have gathered
shows that a billion dollars is annu
ally spent over saloon bars for liquor
bearing a high percentage of alcohol
Seventy million dollars is invested
in the manufacturing end of this so
called industry. This Is a sore that
should be removed from our national
economic life. State legislatures can
not do It. It rests upon the govern
ment to take the step."
Benson believes the plan he has
tentatively mapped out will not prove
too great a financial catastrophe
upon the men engaged in the busi
ness. He proposes to allow them five
years to go out of business after the
amendment becomes a law.
For more than a year he has had
this idea in view. His counsel, E. E.
Coovert, of Portland, has been in
Washington conferring with legisla
tors and investigating further into
the liquor question.
RUMORS ARE RIFE.
Mysterious Surveying Crew Working
in and Around Ashland.
Washington, July 19. Senator A.
B. Fall, republican, of New Mexico,
Introduced in the senate today the
plank of the democratic national
platform adopted at Baltimore last
year which declares that "The con
stitutional rights of American citi
zens should protect them on our bor
ders and go with them throughout
the world. Every American citizen
residing or having property in any
foreign country is entitled to and
should be given full protection of the
American government, both for him
self and his property."
The resolution, while it did not
specifically mention Mexico, obvious
ly referred to the present situation
in that country.
Senator Kern of Indiana, demo
cratic leader, objected to considera
tion of the resolution, "because it
was offered under suspicious circum
stances."
The matter went over without fur
ther comment.
Forty Days Rorkpile for Tom Burns.
Portland, Ore., July 19. Tom
Burns, a socialist, whose arrest on
Tuesday night on charges of using
incendiary language caused the ar
rest of ten others who attempted to
take his place on -a soap box, is un
der sentence of 40 days on the rock
pile. A Jury of six men in the mu
nicipal court returned a verdict of
guilty after brief deliberation.
, Notice of appeal was given by
Burns.
An attempt may be made to deport
Burns, it being alleged that he is a
deserter from the British navy and
has never been naturalized.

Phone Job orders to the Tidings,
The work of a mysterious survey
ing crew in the Ashland yards is
causing considerable comment in
railroad circles and renewing rumors
of shops in Ashland. There have
been rumors the past year that in
the event of the Sacramento shops
being taken from the Southern Pa:
cific railway by the unmerger, Ash
land wouldvbe the site of railroad
shops which would employ about 200
men. As to the truth of these ru
mors it was and is impossible to get
anything definite. Past experience
has shown it to be the policy of rail
road companies to deny the intention
of making such moves, even after
they were definitely decided upon,
but whether or not this is the case
now no one knows.
The rumors that come to the Tid
ings are that surveyors have been
setting stakes on the forty-acre tract
owned by the Southern Pacific ad
joining the round-house and yards,
and from remarks between the men
the inference has been drawn that
the site of shop buildings is being
laid. Local officials declare utter
Ignorance as to the intent of the sur
vey and the proverbial clam is
loquacious as compared with the
members of a railroad surveying
party.
If this is the forerunner of shops,
Ashland will make mighty strides in
the near future. Two hundred fami
lies will not only make business for
our merchants, but will make a mar
ket for fruit and vegetables. Here's
hoping the rumors may be true,
while by no -means sure that they
have any more basis than hundreds
of such rumors in the past. It be
hooves the citizens of Ashland not
to get excited over the matter as
even should it be true, it would be a
poor basis for an attempt to boost
values.

TO DEPORT AGITATOR
Portland Officials Give Dr. Marie
Equl Choice of That or the
Penitentiary.
Portland, July 18. As the result
of last night's street uproar and riot
ing in which probably 50 heads were
cracked and 16 persons arrested, the
authorities have ordered Dr. Marie
Equi, one of the most violent of the
rioters, out of the state; Sheriff
Word has dispatched a squad of dep
uties into the North End to arrest
as vagrants all who cannot explain
their presence there; the sheriff has
sworn in a large number of special
deputies to assist in quelling any fu
ture disturbances; also has held four
loiterers near the Oregon Packing
Company's plant on the East Side
and threatened to arrest all those
who loafed around there another day.
Word and the police are handling
the aggravated situation with a firm
hand. If the rioting in the streets
at night cannot be suppressed in any
other way the 'fire department will
be asked to hose down the mob.
Such -heroic treatment will not be
resorted to until less drastic meas
ures have failed. But, according to
both the mayor and the sheriff, one
thing is going to happen, and that
is: There will be no street speaking
and no use of vicious and indecent
language.
The mayor Issued a statement this
morning warning all citizens to keep
off the streets at night and by all
means not to congregate around cor
ners where disturbances are likely
to occur.
The most startling development of
the present I. W. W. turmoil came
when Sheriff Word, after a confer
ence with Chief of Police Clark, noti
fied friends of Dr. Marie Equi that
they could have the choice of re
straining her in a sanitarium, having
her committed to the insane asylum,
sent to the penitentiary or removed
from the, state, permanently. Dr.
Equl was one of the ten rioting wom
en arrested at Sixth and Washington
streets last night and one of the four
who were kept in the county jail
overnight. She was held under $550
bail with four SDecific charees
against her, disorderly conduct, incit
ing a riot, carrying concealed weap
ons and assault with a deadly
weapon. When she was overpow
ered by Sheriff Word and Chief Dep
uty Frank Curtis she carried a big
section of gaspipe in one hand, a
heavy club in the other, and when
she was landed at the city jail she
stabbed Policeman Larry Evans in
ihe wrist with a Ion;,' hatpin.
A Review of W. C. T. U. Method
Work.
Hundreds of visitors each day
were recorded at the W. C. T. U. tent
during Chautauqua session, where
Mrs. M. C. Ashcraft and her able as
sistants made every one feel at home.
There one could rest, or read the
papers so kindly furnished by the
editors of the same. There many
chatted with friends or sat at ease
and- watched the children at their
games. Here more friendly relation
ships -were made with people from
the various towns and outlying coun
try. The meetings in the arbor were
well attended. The speakers Includ
ed various celebrities from abroad,
among them Colonel Bain and Ng
Poon Chew. The latter was highly
amused because we happened to turn
his name wrong side round.
Many floral beauties were given
and received during the session. The
reception was a great success.
There will be no regular meeting
of the local union on Tuesday, Au
gust 12, the annual election of of
ficers will occur, the place of meet
ing to be announced later.
