PREPAREDNESS

SLOGAN IN THE EAST

i- Dr. C. J. Smith, who has just re
turned from a two months' visit
U.i throughout th east, says the three
things that most Impressed him were
the great sentiment for preparedness,
the Increasing Roosevelt talk and sen
. timent, and the great business ac-
tivity, commencing at the eastern side
. ' of the Rockies and culminating in
i New York city.
v "Preparedness Is a current and fa
ii vored topic of discussion throughout
Jf the east." said Dr. Smith. "There
tr I seems to be a general sentiment back
j- I 'of the program to. put the United
; . -States in such position that the nation
' i. can maintain its position at any time
i j. Jn the face of any condition that might
arise.
- Freparedness Is Slogan.
e "People differ as to means and as
f to the extent to which we should go,
J but they seem to be generally behind
' the administration in Its program of
. preparation.
"And speaking of the administration,'
. . continued Dr. Smith, "national Demo-
c rratic leaders believe that the coming
national convention will be the short
's est on record. The nomination of
President Vllson will be, practically,
a matter of routine.
.' "On the other hand, the Republican
leaders are at sea. They do not know
what Is going to happen at the Chicago
f. convention. Kvery one is talking
' Roosevelt. Every one wants to know
t what the people of the west think of
him. And the belief is fast gaining
: ground that if Roosevelt is not the
nominee of the convention, he will dlc-
, tate the next Republican nominee.
i Business Is Oalning.
T-. s. "I ai surprised at the great busi
- Bus activity of the east. When :

- , there were 1.000.000 visitors in that
V: city- The hotels are Jammed. It is

Lewton, Ok la., March 7. (U. P.)
Daniel CKane, 48, murdered bit fam
ily of seven and committed suicide
early today, following a quarrel with
his father. He Is believed to have
been insane.
Detectives say O'Kane killed his
victims as they slept. He appears to
have gone methodically through his
farmhouse, armed with a razor, a
hammer and a revolver.
His wife wu shot and her head
crushed with a hammer. The five
children were all killed by blows on
the head and the throats of the four
eldest were slashed with a raxor.
The baby was beaten. .O'Kane'a
aged father was killed by a bullet.
Then the maniac tossed aside his
razor and hammer, walked Into a
front room and shot himself to death.
TALLMAN SAYS
OREGON SHOULD
GET TAX MONEY
SPEAKER TO REVIEW
THE PLANKS OF THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY
(Continued From Page One)
lod, recommendation is made to pay
the state a sum from the sales suffi
cient to cover all such tax deficiencies.
Members of the public lands com
mittee were noticeably interested in
what Mr. Tallman told them concern
ing the condition surrounding logged
off lands. He said there are thou
sands of acres of such lands now
available in Oregon at reasonable
prices. They arj not taken because
the task f reducing the land to cul
tivation is so expensive, and he has
doubts as to whether the Chamberlain
bill will lead to the removal of stumps
on such lands by settlers upon it
For that reason he suggested to the
committee a plan which he said the
department has had before it, among
many other plans. This was that re
ceipts from timber sales be turned
into a sort of revolving rural credit
fund, to be lent to settlers to aid them
in conquering the stumps when the
timber is removed. This would be a
radical departure from past methods.
he said, but he was not sure but that
foresight would Justify such a plan
. nl bring greater benefit to the state
of Oregon than other plans presen
This idea, apparently, is not destined
to go beyond the stage of talk. While
members of the comr-.!ttee are inclined
to aKree that it may have merit, they
think it would raise questions of pol
icy and bring on such an era of de
bate that action would be long post
poned and the result left In doubt.
The committee probably will adopt
an amendment providing different
terms of settlement for land classed
at the outset as agricultural and the
logged-off land opened to entry upon
removal of the timber, with a view to
making conditions more liberal for the
settltr who &es upon the logged-off
land.

More than ever impressed with the

Several plans Mr. Hardy referred to
as' being almost ready for announce

early to talk about them publicly.
"If Portland will keep its feet on the
ground for awhile and get together on
some of these matters, great things
are coming." he said.

Seeking Judgment
Against Howard
Song Writer rsila to Appear In Breech

Zdan 'WUherspoon, for 960,000.
Motion for a default judgment of
150,000 In favor of Mrs. Kdah WUher
spoon against Joe Howard was filed
with the circuit court yesterday. Mrs.
Witherspoon, who Is a comely Portland
widow, is suing Howard for breach of
promise. Howard is an actor and song
writer now under contract with the
Orpheum circuit. '
Original papers in the action were
served on Howard more than a month
ago when he was playing In this city.
Although Howard admitted his pro
posal to Mrs. Witherspoon. he says the
betrothal was merely a joke.
Mrs. Witherspoon says she did not
know Howard was married at the time
he proposed. The proposal, she says,
was made in the presence of her fath
er. All arrangements had been made
for the wedding, the fiancee had pur
chased a $300 trousseau and sent an
nouncements to her friends. Then,
she alleges, Howard balked on the
bargain and finally tried to call off
the agreement. i

WHAT WILL
.Drive"
IT COUNT FOR?
With the results of the German efforts still uncertain, the correspondents
are speculating over their meaning and the motives behind them.
Does Germany expect to win a decision in the West, to force France to
make peace by taking Verdun, breaking through the French line and again
moving on Paris? Or, is she merely fortifying herself against an expected
Allied drive, acting on the principle that the best defense is an attack? Or,
is she merely after local gains, or trying to regain the ground lost last fall ?
or, as some French writers hint, has military strategy been subordinated to
political or dynasty considerations?
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for March 4th, the views of the American
press, and war correspondents are incorporated in a comprehensive article
which also includes maps, showing the Allies' losses.
