It Is evident that O. A. Phillips, who was arrested her while trying , to dispose of Oklahoma school bonds, which It was alleged he stole, did not face an offended home commu nity, though such was ths Intention -of the deputy sheriff who Journeyed from the southern town to escort his pris oner back to Outherle, O. T. - Agent McBrlde was notified this morn ing by Sheriff. Thompson of Caddo county, O. T., thatPhllllpa bad escaped while journeying home and by leaping through the car window at Price, on the Rio Grande Western road, had eluded the guard's vigilance. The county de sires a rebate on the unused portion of Phillip' ticket and this will be granted by the local office. The tickets were sold Deputy Sheriff Ellison., who had charge of Phillips, July 21 and the two left Portland on the following morning. The escape occurred the next day and when the Oklahoma sheriff wrote Phillips waa still at lib erty. Phillips was arrested here on advices from OutherU, a' local bank telegraph ing to learn the validity of school bonds that he attempted to dispose of. The Outherle authoritlea ordered Phillips ar rest and the local police held him until Deputy Sheriff Ellison arrived. Phillips waa formerly a contractor In Outherle, of good social standing and his theft came as a shock to bis lifelong friends, according to the deputy's statement. . . WAS EXPLOSION WAR OR WEDDING? There waa a terrlflo explosion at 11:89 last night on North Third street. Just below . the new ' Grand Central hotel, about which two most remarkable stories are told. The polloe declare the explosion was caused by a bomb, being thrown from the top 'story of the bote! by some one to serenade a newly mar ried couple who registered there during the afternoon, but Manager fields of the hotel says It was the Japs celebrat ing a rumor that Port Arthur had fallen. "There was great excitement all over the north, end district when the loud explosion took place," said Policeman Burke, who was quickly on the scene with bis partner, Policeman Baty.. "Peo pie rushed there from all corners and thought there had been a murder or something ; very sensational. - We In vestigated and found that a newly mar ried pair were registered at the new Grand Central and It was to serenade them that some one from the top story threw out the bomb. "The bomb was fired by Japs, who had heard in some manner that Port Arthur had fallen," said Manager' Ffelds. "No newly married couple registered at our hotel last night, so there can be no truth In the statement that some lodger fired the bomb te serenade them."

They were adopted from the Baby home and are twin a Although Mr. and- Mrs. . Barrett have been blessed with a son or two In the family, no little girls gathered about Ore fireside. This, Mr. Barrett thought would not do, and as ths chilly winter days are coming he decided that a baby lass should be secured. Mrs. 'Barrett was of the same mind. Out at the Baby home, sleeping and cooing and crying, were two sweet- faced tots that Mr. Barrett wanted. Ar rangements were made for the adontlon of the children,- and they were recently brought to their new kingdom.

' Umatilla Wheat Crop, Barley In eastern Oregon Is yielding heavily and there Is a slightly Increased acreage. The harvest Is running high as (0 and (0 bushels to the acre In numerous cases. Arthur F. Miller, who has returned from a trip to Umatilla county says that this county will produce this year 1 per "cent of all the wheat grown In the United States, and that it Is far above the average both as to quality and quan tity. In one field of 1.000 acres of Red German wheat the yield Is 60 bushels to the acre. . The prlnolpal variety grown In eastern Oregon is Red Chief Club, but. both Red German and Blue stem do well. .William Temple, on of tha large growers In Umatilla county, has lust marketed lt.000 bushels at CO 1-1 cents per bushel for Red Chief and el cents for Bluestem., Mr. Miller Is engaged In making an exhibit of Ore gon grain for the Lewis and Clark ex position, and will also make a special exhibit for Umatilla county. f Joaraal Special Service.)

Abbott In charge of the Pacific northwest territory of the road improvement service, department of ag' rlculture, has given up for this year the proposition to make a sample road In the Willamette valley. The attempt at Eugene failed owing to the Inability of the machinery companies at this point to furnish the necessary rock crusher and roller In time for the work to be done before the fall rains begin. Mr. Abbott has been Joined here by J. H. Dodge, a road making expert from Washington, D. C, and they will leave this week for Belllngham. Wash., where they will make a sample road. Later they will go to eastern Oregon, where the dry season la longer, and where they will make a similar sample road. "I regret that the proposition failed to materialise at Eugene," said Mr. Ab bott "but It was Impossible to put it through at this time. We hope to get to Eugene early next spring and carry out the original plan there." Mr. Dodge said: "Improvement of the roads In Oregon will do more good for this state during the next five years man win any otner one thing. The fruit Industry peclAlly ' needs good roads, s fine fruit such as this state producing must be marketed with the least possible Jarring or bruising. Everywhere the people are realising more than ever before the value of proper and permanent Improvement of me roaas." SPBBOBB XV OOOB SXAVS. One of the mechanics who baa been at work on the steamer Spencer during me past lew days returned from up the river this morning and reports that the vessel would have been launched yester day had not ar strong wind been blowing. He states that ths steamer is all read? to be floated, and apparently she is In Just as good condition as she ever was. During the past fe'w days, he states, the wind up the Columbia has been blowing a perfect gale, and until It dies down no attempt will be made to .float the steamer. . . , i . , Fief erred stock Oanned Seeds. Allen Lewis' Best Braas, at the conclusion of Clark's speech of notification and presentation of creden tials and a certificate and copy of the platform, ' Parker's Speech. Prolonged cheering greeted Parker when he stepped to the front of the plat form and began his speech. He was greeted with 'applause at nearly every period of his address. The first part of his speech he delivered wltbowt, notes. The 'last part he read from a typewritten copy. He spoke evenly, never raising his voice above a conversational tone. His declaration that he would not accept a re-nomlnatlon If he -were- elected was cheered. Ha con cluded his speech at t:M amid an out burst of cheers and much waving of flags. Judge Parker said: "I have resigned the office -of chief Judge of the court of appeals that 1 may accept the responsibility put upon me with no possible prejudice to the court to which I had the honor to be long. ' "At the threshold of this response, and before dealing with other subjects, I must express my profound appreciation of the confidence reposed In me by the convention. After nominating me, and subsequently receiving - a comraunlca tion declaring that I regarded the gold standard firmly and Irrevocably estab lished, that hereafter none could Justly say that bis support of me bad been secured through mistake, the conven tion reiterated Us determination that I should be the party's standard-bearer. This mark of trust and confidence 1 shall ever esteem as the highest honor that could be conferred upon me. "The admirable platform upon which the party appeals to the country clearly states the principles which are so well condensed In the first Inaugural address of President Jefferson. "Liberty, as understood in this coun try, means not only the right and free dom from actual servitude, from im prisonment or restraint, without Just cause, but the right of every one to use his faculties In all lawful ways and pursue any lawful trade or bust ness. These essential rights of life, liberty and property not only are guar anteed to every citizen by the conatltu tion of each several state, but the states are forbidden to deprive any person of any one of these rights without due process of law. ... Colorado Biota, "The restraints of law, as wen as Its delays, are becoming more and more manifest from day to day. Within the caat few years manv lnstancea have been brought to our attention where supposed criminals have been seised and punished by mob, ' notwithstanding the constitution guarantees protection to ev err person within Its Jurisdiction." The speaker then referred to the re cent destruction of life and property in Independence, Col., by dynamiters, ex pressing the conviction that the perpe trators of the outrage should be rigor ously punished. "This crime led to the formation of a committee of cltlsens, supported by the military power of the state, and the de portation of suspects and other persons without trial. . In both cases the reign of law gave way to the reign of force. These Illustrations present some evl dence of the failure of the government to protect the citizen and his property, which not only Justified the action of your convention In this regard, but made it Its duty to call attention to the Tact that constitutional guarantees are vio lated whenever any cltlsen Is denied th right to labor, to acquire and enjoy oroDertr or to reside where his Inter ests or Inclination may determine, and any denial of these rights should be en forced by every official. "The present tariff law Is unjust in its operation, excessive in many ,of its rates and so rramed in particular in stances as to exact Inordinate profits from the people. Judged by the record of Its performances. It would seam that in the event of the success of the Re publican party, that party will In crease theae duties. We cannot hope to secure a majority of the senate during the next four years, and hence we shall be unable to secure any modification of the tariff save that to which the Re publican majority in the senate gives consent While unable to give assur anoes of relief, we should state our post' tloa to be In favor of the reduction of tha tariff. - ' "So confident am X In the belief that the demand of the pople for reform of the tariff Is Just that I Indulge In the hone that should aM Democratic house of xepresntatives and a Itomocratlo ex- cutlve be chosen, even tne KepuDiican senate may heed the warning and con sent to give at least some measure of relief to the people. 'Combinations, popularly caned trusts, L 1 I . Some good grocers don't sell Schilling's Best, and some poor ones do; no doubt, but ihe rule don't run that' Way. have been encouraged and stimulated by an excessive tariff. An men must agree that' the net result of enacting laws that foster such inequitable conditions must be unfortunate for the people as a whole.. The growth of monopoly, of which complaint has justly -been made, cannot be laid at the doors of the eourte of this country, but to .the failure of omciais enargea .wun me auij vi u forctng the nation's laws." "While this is my view of the com mon law, J It should be made to ap pear that it li a mistaken one, then I favor such further legislation 'within constitutional limitations as will give the people a Just and full measure of protection. ,. ' .' Tha Poilipplnes. Judge Parker urges that the people of the Philippines should be given their liberty, and no -law be made or enforced which should abridge the privUeges of any citizen or deny him equal protec tion with every other. "It is difficult to understand how any cltlsen of the United States, much less a descendant Of revolutionary stock, can tolerate the thought of per manently denying the Tights of gov ernment to the Filipinos. Can we hope to Instill into the minds of our de scendants a reverence for and devotion to the government by people while, de nying ultimately that right ta the In habitants of distant countries whose territory we 'have acquired either by purchase or by force? "The accident of war brought ..the Philippines Into our possession, and we are not at liberty to disregard the re sponsibility which thus came, to us, but that responsibility .may best be sub served by preparing the islands as rap idly as possible for self-government and giving them assurances that It will come soon as 4Mhey are reasonably prepared for It We are not a military people, bent on conquest or engaged in extending our domains m foreign tanas, or desirous of securing natural advan tages, howsver great by force, but peo ple loving peace not only for ourselves. but for all nations oi tne aenn. "The display of great military arm menu may please the eye, and for the moment exolte the pride of the cltl sen. but It cannot bring to this coun try the brains, brawn and muscle of a single Immigrant nor Induce the in vestment here of a single dollar of capl taL Of course, such armament as may 'be necessary for the security of the country and the protection of the rights of Its citizens abroad must oe main tained. "I protest, however, against tha feel ing, now far too prevalent that by rea son of the commanding position we have assumed in the world we must take part In the disputes and; broils of foreign countries, and that' because We have grown great we - should intervene In every Important question that arises In other parts of the world. "We should confine our Internationa) activities solely to matters In which the rights of this country or Its cltlsens are directly Involved. "I accept the nomination and if the action of the convention shall bs In dorsed by the people I will, God helping me, give to the discharge of the duties of the exalted office to which I aspire the best service of which I am capable, and at the end of my term retire to pri vate life. I shall not be a candidate for, nor shall I accept renomlnatlon. The controlling, reason with me Is that I am fully persuaded that no incumbent of that office should ever be placed in a situation of possible temptation to con sider what effect any; action taken by him In an administrative matter of great Importance might have upon his political fortunes. "I make this statement not In criti cism of any of our presidents from Washington down who ever held office for" two terms or sought to succeed themselves; for strong arguments can be advanced In support 'of the re-election of a president It Is simply my Judgment that the Interests of this country now are so vast and the ques tions presented frequently of such overpowering magnitude to Its people that It Is indispensable to the main tenance of a befitting attitude before the people, not only that the chief magi Istrate should be independent- but that his independence shouJH be known."
