WHAT WOULD DOCTOR DO?
Governor Calls Attention to Tact Re
publican Candidate Finds Fault, But
Offers ZTo Solution.
"Those interests opposed to direct
legislation are trying to get back into
power. They are the same vultures
jwho hovered about the state capltol to
steal th children's school lands. They
are the same bunch of harpies that
preyed, upon the convicts In our peni
tentiary? and exploited 'their labor fpr
private, gain. They are trying to send
the goqd Dr. Withycombe to the gov
ernor's 1 chair," declared Governor Os
wn Id", West yesterday afternoon in giv
ing an account of his stewardship at
;the Kant Side public library. He told
,the audience of men. and women that
his administration was a sincere effort
to accomplish something for the people.
3t was the adaptation of "horse sense'
.to the bufinoKs of the commonwealth.
It was the effort to demonstrate to the
other statew that are following in the
'footstep of Oregon that rule by the
people means KOmethinK.
What Would Withycombe Do?
"But what vould the dfar doctor
do?'' asked the governor. "He Is find-
farm nearby yielded him only J800
last year and $400 of this went for
taxes. But he says only that 'some
thing should be 'done.' Will his har
mony program do itT'
In discussing the attempt of the
interests to break down the principle
of direct legislation, Governor West
declared that now, after years of
battle 'with big interests, the people
hold the power. Other states have
seen the good work accomplished and
are following Oregon's example.
They an't Do It Wow.
"The Interests opposed to direct leg
islation are trying to get back into
the saddle. We don't want them to
go back.
In the old days, did a candidate forf
the senate come to you, here at the
public library or elsewhere and tell
you his qualifications to serve you?
No. He went to the representatives of
big business, who heard his story and,
it it suited their ends, took stock in
lils campaign. They got what votes
they could and bought the rest. They
can't do that now. But they still
want to, because if they elect their
man It means that they have friends
at court."
While Senator Chamberlain was
governor. Governor West said, the wa
ter powers of the state were put for
ever out of the hands of private cor
porations and held in trust for the
people. It was not until then, either,
that any effort was made by an execu
tive to hold eff the harpies that were

Inc fault with my administration. He

house. Would lie go back to the old
fystem and chain up tbe convicts by
the wrists In dark dungeons? Would
he shut down the prison windows and
.let the air grow foul again? Would
'he-let the priMonors go back to the
iron foundry and toil for a private
master for 4 Vfe cents an hour? Would
he allow the harpies once more to take

"If 'not, what would he do? He has
not told you. All the other candidates

- Home definite plan for a lowering of
! taxes and for business policy. But he
ban not.
i'"Wo have blazed the trail in prison
'reform. When I left Salem today I
'left waiting two representatives of the
federal government who had come to
Oregon to learn our system in prison
work. They wanted to know, so they
could adapt the system .to the govern
ment prisons.
Oregonian'e Dislike la Personal.
' "But because the Oregonian doesn't
like me, it,lmn opposed everything 1
tried to do. it Is not because the Ore
gonian doesn't like the system, it is
because of its dislike for me that it
has nagged and hammered at my pris
on policy. Sometimes I think I ought
never to have run for any office, be
cause If I were not a factor, the Ore
gonian might sac the good In the meas
ures I have advocated."
The governor discussed his general
policy for other Institutions, explain
lng why the board of control had
tiikfjn over the management for the
aka ot economy and good results. He
fchowed" how, under the old system,
t r
He then compared R. A. Booth's meth
od of growing rich with Chamberlain's
method of helping the state grow rich.
Booth and Chambrlain Compared.
'This Is tfte only difference," he said.
"Mr. Booth was taking these timber
lands to make a million for himself.
Governor Chamberlain was using the
school lands in making a million for
the state."
"I have found that you can trust
all the people to do right. It is folly
to say the legislature is more compe
tent to pass on measures than the
people. One legislator told me that
a bill of his Introduction which hai
passed both houses had been handed
him by a friend and he had presented
it. though he hadn't the slightest idea
what it was about.
"Of all the appropriation bills that
went through last session and passed
over my vote, there was not one sug
gestion, for the raising of more reve
nue." The governor explained that he feels
sorry for Dr. Withycombt , whose am
bition it is to round out his honorable
career by being chosen governor. But
so eager is he to fill that position
that he has surrounded himself with
Influences inimical to the Interests
of the people. "He is afraid. They've
got him buffaloed," the governor de
clared. In Dr. C. ' J. Smith, the governor
said, the people have a champion to
stand between them and extravagance.
' A back rest for motorcyclists, to be
fastened around the waist from the
handle bars of a machine, is an Eng

By Ed L. Keen.
London, Oct. 14. (By Mail to New
York.) The returning of their $"5000
checks to a half dozen big concerns
which had contributed to the Prince of
Wales war fund has caused a big stir
here.
The fund is the national offering to
dependents left behind by Tommy At
kins when -he started for the conti
nental fighting-zone. It also aims to
give assistance in cases where unem
ployment has resulted from the war's
effect on industries.
It so happens that there are on the
committee chosen to administer this re
lief certain members with marked dem
ocratic tendencies who told Queen
Mary that the half dozen business
houses referred to had dismissed
enough employes since the war broke
out to ' save much more than the
amount of their J5000 contribution.
Moreover, it was pointed out that
thesesame establishments, while tak
ing much credit to themselves for
promising to keep their places for em
ployes who volunteer, were filling these
plates, during the volunteers' absence
with help costing about half the wages
paid to the regular incumbents.
Incidentally, as most of these firms
mentioned had various fat army con
tracts, it was represented to her ma
jesty that they were finding patrio
tism profitable.
These methods did not Impress the
queen favorably. Accordingly, she
drafted a note refusing the contribu
tions and had the prince sign it.
The note explained that, in view of
the distress among such people as the
contributing concerns generally em
ployed, and inasmuch as charity should
begin at home, the desirability was
suggested to them of applying the
money represented by their checks to
the benefit of their own employes.
that you don't know enough to select
your own candidates."
He declared that the same people
who would break down , the direct
primary are responsible for the exist
lng high taxes, as in the last two leg
islatures they had control.
He said if he "were elected he pro
posed to see that, business-like methods
were Installed in all branches of the
state government. - He promised a
healthy use of the veto If the legis
lature endeavored to run tip big ap
propriations. He also promised a vig
orous enforcement of all laws, both
civil and criminal.
Dr. Smith was vigorously applauded
when he said he was opposed to the
introduction of any kind of cheap for
eign labor Into Oregon. 1
Booth's Becord Bared.
Senator Lane pointed to R. A.
Booth's great timber holdings, and
the manner in which such large hold
ings retard , the development of the
state. He reviewed the history of the
O. & C. - railroad land - grant, condi
tions of which were that the land
should be sold at not to exceed $2.50
an acre to actual settlers. He said
actual settlers were refused a chance
to buy the land, but that the Booth-
Kelly Lumber company was able to
acnuire 70.000 acres of the errant.
About the time the governor was
bringing suit to have the grant can
celed because the railroad company
had failed to comply with its terms.
Senator Lane said by some means
these big Interests got a bill through
congress validating tlie sales of large
tracts that had been made.
"Any man who would get a law
through congress to validate such
sales is not Just the man to send to
the United States senate to represent
the people of Oregon, said Senator
Lane. " This statement was greeted
with resounding applause.
After showing the relationship in
land holdings between the Booths, thj
Weyerhaeusers and the Hills, Senator
Lane pointed out how desirable it
would be for a representative of their
interests to get the government to
prevent the cutting of timber on na
tional forests.
Would Enhance Holding.
"If Mr. Booth could retain his hold-
j ir.gs as a private citizen and at the
tame time have the government re
strict the cutting of timber in the
forest reserves, it would greatly en
hance the value of his timber," he
said..
"Do you think Mr. Booth would vote
for a law antagonistic to the Weyer
haeusers?" asked the senator. "He
would not. And their interests might
not be your interests."
Senator Lane also warmly indorsed
Dr. Smith and A. F. Flegel, candidate
for congress. He said Dr. Smith, with
whom he served on the state -board
of health, was painstaking, conscien
tious and a careful business man.
He declared that Mr. Flegel was
well qualified for the duties of con
gressman.
"He will unswervingly do his duty."
he. declared.
He said the president needed in
congress at this ' time such men as
Flegel. who love peace and will stand
by the president.

oif the threat of Turkish participation
in the war, said it would constitute a
much greater danger to Great Britain
than to Russia, since the czar's Black
sea fleet is stronger than the sultan's
entire navy, whereas Great Britain's
direct line of communications with
India would be endangered.
Orders, to Fleet Reported,
It was reported here that orders
were given the czar's Black sea fleet
to destroy the Ottoman war vessels
engaged in operations against Crimean
and Caucasian ports.
Troops are held in readiness for a
land campaign.
Communication with Constantinople
was interrupted, and consequently no
report had been received from the Rus
sian embassy there.
In a roundabout way there came
from the British embassy the predic
tion that Turkish participation in the
war would involve all the Balkan
states. Bulgaria and Roumania, it was
believed, would strike at the Turks at
once.
Oreat Demonstration Held.
The appearance of special editions
of the newspapers announcing that
Turkish fighting ships had attacked
Russian ports and vessels was fol
lowed by a patriotic demonstration
which eclipsed anything seen hitherto
since the war began.
Led by uniformed officers, a proces
sion formed in the Nevsky Prospekt
and marched, waving Russian, British,
French and Belgian flags, to the win
ter palace, where patriotic songs were
sung and speeches made.
According to the war office, the Ger
mans induced the sultan to engage in
the war as a means of relieving the
pressure upon their own and the Aus
trians lines In Galacla, Poland and
East Prussia.
Along the Vistula, it was asserted
the kaiser's forces had not only been
routed, but a large part of them had
been cut off from their base and
threatened with annihilation. Realiz
ing this. It was said the Berlin gov
ernment called on the Turks to com?
to their aid immediately, though they
had hoped to keep the Ottoman troops
in reserve until late in the winter or
early next spring.
Theodossa Is Bombarded,
The Turks opened hostilities at
Theodossa, a Russian port in the
southeastern Crimea, at Novorossysk,
on the northeastern coast of the Black
sea, and Off Takol lighthouse, in the
Black sea itself. !
Theodossa was subjected to an
hour's bombardment Thursday morn
ing by a Turkish cruiser. Some prop
erty damage was done and a soldier
was wounded. Later the cruiser
steamed away to the southwest..
At Novorossysk the Turkish cruiser
Hamidieh put into port and served
notice that the city would be shelled
unless it surrendered. This demand
met with a refusal, but the threat of
a bombardment was not fulfilled, the
Hamidieh withdrawing instead.
For the Takol lighthouse incident,
responsibility was. placed upon the
cruiser Goeben, formerly German, but
purchased early in the war by the
sultan, which torpedoed and sank the
Russian steamships Yalta and Kaz
bek, the latter because It tried to as
sist the Yalta. The Yalta's crew and
passengers were saved, but many of
those on board the Kazbek perished.
