Although Loveland failed to
score a single first, - he made
equally good time with several

formances In the high jump, pole
vault, the 1S00 meters and the

outpointed Hamilton, who won
first In the shot put and the 10V

that today, more than ever before

Elaborate plans made originally
for Mr. Roosevelt's entertainment
here were almost completely fore
gone, owing to the fact that his
train was nearly 12 hours behind

his appearance at the auditorium
and a few private conferences
held witn Democratic leaders, the

Thousands of acres of timber In
the Bull Run watershed near
Mount Hood were being kept to
day from the grip or a forest fire
now burning about 400 acres near
lackamas Lake only by a caprice
of the wind that left the air quiet,
according to reports from resi
dents living nearby. ;
The danger is slight. It was
said, so long as the wind does not
begin to blow.
Forty-eight men employed on
construction at the head works of
the Bull Run pipe line left with
a pack train to fight the fire last
night. No report has been re

Apparently with the hope that

I'rohibilion Campaign council at

Governor Olcott replies:
"In acknowledgment of your

"Drunkenness Is very little

II. Hays, chairman of the repub-
lican national committee, today I
opened his party's campaign m j
this state for election of member il
of congress with a speech in which
he asserted that Governor Cox
son and four unnamed "bosses."
Plays for Both Factions
"The democratic candidate ap
peals to both the Wilson and the
anti-Wilson factions of his party.'
declared Mr. Hays. "To the for
mer he holds forth the president's
platform. To the latter he ex
hibits himself as an advocate of
complete change in administra
tion. He offers to the country
for foreign use the Wilson gov
ernment and for domestic service
Tammany hall truly a marvelous
combination of impotence and ill
repute." Denicx Cox Charge
Mr. Hays devoted much of his
speech to discussing campaign
funds, denying vigorously that the
republican party planned to ex
pend excessive sums to elect Sen
ator Harding and Governor Coo
lldge. Also denying that "millions had
gone into . the republican treas
ury," from "certain Interests
banded together to buy the presi
dency" a statement which he
credited to Governor Cox Mr.
Hays declared that this amounted
to a charge of conspiracy to be
tray the country.
Referring- to the republican
plan to limit Individual campaign
contributions to $1,000. Mr. Hays
said:
"If this attempt fails to produce
the requisite sums, we shall so
state publicly, increase the maxi
mum, and seek additional contri
butions."
Won't Reciprocate Charge
Declaring that the party needed
about $3,000,000. Mr. Hays said
that no criticism of the democrats
for seeking the largest obtainable
contributions would be offered.
"Nor shall we. In resentful emu
lation" of the positive charges of
the democratic candidates, so
much as intimate that their re
sponsible officers will use any
part or their funds corruptly." he
said. "Frankly and squarely, as
between mutual respecting citi
zens, we don't believe they will,
or would If they could.
Will woe Sqnarrly
"But I give fair warning now
that neither the republican candi
dates nor the republican manage
ment will take false aspirations
lying down. If. at the decision
of our adversaries, this campaign
shall finally resolve Into a ques
tion of nersonal charges, we know
of no reason, aside from personal
distate why we should meet that
issue as readily as any other."
After announcing that the re
publican party had probably nev
er before enjoyed such complete
unanimity of acceptance and ap
proval of a presidential nomina
tion. Mr. Hays accused the demo
crats or indecision in selecting an
issue about which to rally.

said:
"When they concentrated upon

THE STATESMAN'S
By Rev. Edwin 7. Randall
IS THERE AXT HOPE:
Uncertainty and. unrest are so
general in the world today, the
columns of our dallies are so
filled with the frtgbtfulness of
war and the sordidness or crime
as to give fresh Impulse to the
activities of such natures as have,
since the death of Christ, been
looking; for the end of the world
in an orgy of terror and universal
rightfulness. Others look for a
natural cause, which seems not
hard to find, and with the cause
well In hand set out to apply the
remedy.
The Socialist (lnds the world
Is all wrong In Its conception of
relative human values and Is sure
that a proper readjustment will
restore order. The recently arld
ated portion of our population
finds in hoped -for resurrection of
alcohol a nrospect for peace. Mr
Wilson blames the senate and the!
Republicans and Mr. Chamber-
lain blames Mr. Wilson
We see the signs of the times:
the Indecent exposure of modern
feminine styles; the demoraliza
tion of the stage and the cheap
pandering to the physical and the
lack or morals of the flint theater
business; the spread of disloyalty
and I. W. V. sentiment; the heart
less greed of the profiteer In busi
ness or in labor. .Tew there be
who. arter six long years or paln
rul optimism, still have the cour
age of, the steadfast forward step
and the confident upward look.
We search here and there for
the eanse of it alL Many aay "Lo.
here" and others say "No, there."

SUNDAY SERLION
Will It not shortly occur to some
that the answer to our present
day query was made some two
thousand yeara ago and that we
have only been halted by war and
worldly interests In our quest for
the solution of all problems of our
world along the lines of that di
vine message? I do not mean
simply that we must come to the
observation of the ethics of Jesus
ia all society from the lite of the
home to the life or the nation.
That would be a fine thing which
we have never approached nearly
enough to appreciate, but It la not
enough.
Jesus Christ not mere accep
tance of a moral code but a per
sonal acceptance and allegiance
to Himself. We have forgotten
that. Our churches stand empty
by the thousand. Others turn to
forms of social service which pre
serve the shell without the meat.
People forget that Jesas wss era-
clfied. not to raise wages, but to
save men.
We shall find, one day. that
when laborer and capitalist alike,
when Socialist. Republican and
Democrat, In sufficient quantity
and with sufficient force, are per.
sonally attached to the personality
of Jesas. and when German. Rus
sian aad Irishmen and English
men and French men t and Ameri
can are followers of the King of
Kin a, that labor unions aad gl
ganic corporations and states and
governments will find their prob
legis all ironed out for. them by
the true brotherhood of man.

Christ Jesus.
