Reed, Bader or Misler, while the third stood a block away and watched for policemen or pedestrians. These boys are also charged and admit robbing several gro ceries and small stores on the east side. The Willis. Wilson and Frickert lads are charged with robbing homes and small stores. They admit the principal ones and have told the detectives where the stolen goods can be found. They , also robbed cleaning and press ing efetMiRh.inent8 to get clothing, so different suits cbuld be worn to escape detection by the police.

Th&r Aeorv was not the one held by FrelilrtT'strategfsts. They were of the opiryfon that the kaiser meant to with draw his 'eastern forces within his own territories, making no attempt in that quarter to do more than hold the Slavs back while he hurled the troops he would thus be able to recall from the east, into Belgium and France. .Nevertheless the British authorities stuck to their interpretation of the situation. Everything Indicated, they said, that the Germans had prepared a line of defenses along their western front to the rear of the ones they already oc cupied, and the prediction was made that they intended to retire back into them. Moreover, It was ponlted out, the Turks could be used more conveniently In the east than in the west.

A statement has Just been issued bv the Central Labor Council of Oregon, through its secretary, E. E. Southard, calling upon the laboring people of the state to defeat Robert A. Booth, Re publican candidate for the United States senate, because he Is opposed to the best interests of the people of the state. Denial is made of the claim circulated abroad that organized labor espouses Mr. Booth's cause. The state ment follows: "To the Laboring Men and Women of Oregon Organized labor believes that Mr. Booth should be defeated. It Is Impossible that Mr. Booth can rep resent the common people of Oregon. His every Interest is opposite to the interest of the common people. "In reiteration of Its stand against Booth's candidacy it calls upon labor and its friends to defeat Mr. Booth for senator. "Further, the Central Labor Coun cil believes that the common people. the laboring men, organized and unor ganized, will Judge fairly the candl dates for this most Important office. "It. therefore, decries the activities of individuals, who are attempting, in the name of labor, to further the Jdootn candidacy. "In Justice to Mr. Booth of any other candidate for office, and In de fense of the good name of organised labor, the Central Labor Council is desirous of having; It publicly known that the votes of labor are not car ried in the 'vest pocket' of any self appointed leader.

"Washington county German socie ties did indorse Senator Chamberlain, Dr. Smith and Frederick Holllster,'" writes Adam Bell, a business man of Centerville, near Cornelius. He says when Fred Bulling, presi dent of the Cornelius German speaking society, made an affidavit regarding the matter that he made a "Schwaben stretch," as the affidavit amounts to nothing. "In the first place, there was never a meeting held at Cornelius for over a year," writes Mr. Bell, "and further more, there was. no meeting" at any place on Saturday.

A to the action of the Federation of Ger man Speaking Societies in Portland, he does not attach much importance, as it was taken by a comparatively small number of delegates and officials, "The members here know that Washington county wlir not Indorse Withycombe, not because he is or English birth, for Germans have bet ter sense." he writes, "but they do not Relieve in Withycombe's princi-plea-d?n the single item veto, and his recent stepping across the fence will not help him now.

"As to Chamberlain, we know that he is the favorite of all Germans we have so far met, both those belonging ! to the country and to the state or? ! ganization outside the county. "We know the Individual and col-l lectlve status of the Germans of thisT section, and we find few that have ' faith In the Oregonian in matters of party politics, and whom and what it advocates are hung up until the Ger mans here know better.

Your Property Idle Southern Oregon State Normal School Ashland DO YOU KNOW THAT Oregon is the only state in the Union that ever reduced the number of its normal schools? Only five states in the Union have a smaller equipment for normals than Oregon would were all three of its schools running? Oregon's schools must find over 1000 new teachers each year? Eighty per cent of the applicants for teachers' certificates in Oregon last year had received no training above the eighth grade? The Southern Oregon State Normal was successfully conducted for 14 years until the legislature deadlocked over the regular appro priation? It has a plant ready to open up tomorrow, sufficient to mee.t all requirements for several years? Not one of Southern Oregon's counties has an educational institution to which the state contributes a dollar of support? To the average taxpayer of the state this school will mean less than 2 cents per .year? To the man with property assessed at $4000 it means the price of one cigar a year? This school is to train the trainers of your children? For the sake of our children, vote for the Southern Oregon State Normal School, General Election November 3, 1914. 312 X YES fPald Adv. by Committee of the People of Southern Oregon 3. H.
