PHILLIPS DID NOT
GO HOME MEEKLY
From advices received by the local
general ' agent of the Gould lines In
Portland today. 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."

MODEL ROAD IS
DELAYED A YEAR
James W. 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

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,

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."

so true that the Impression Is given to
the visitor that they are real people.
The characters are set . In the fore
ground of a farm scene, which "lends
much to the Impresnlvenesa of ths dis
play. The word "Oregon" Is moulded
out of butter In nine-Inch letters in a
very prominent place, and confronts the
