Salem concedes the fame. That

Will-Clash on Walla
Walla Gridiron
Willamette university Is to send
a formidable squad of football
players, to Walla Walla Saturday
to meet Whitman college for their
annual gridiron clash.
Whitman has been credited
with a powerful team this year.
The team has been beaten 'by Ore
gon and by Idaho by the narrow
est of squeaks, so narrow as to
call it luck rather than better
playing strength.
Willamette has had the lightest
I schedule in years. The first
practice game with Oregon, which
gave the Bearcats a 30 to 0 drub
bing, wa3 hardly i indicative of
what the team now is.
Willamette will send at least
five men who have Jiot played
football before this year. That is
a pretty poor chance in any class
though some of the new lads, like
Warner and Stolzheise,' Jones
Skirvin, and Moore, are good class
anywhere, save n , experience
They, will take some fine courage
and strength that will make them
formidable. Stolzheise is one of
the fastest, most willing big play
T8 the team has had as a recruit
for a long time. The rest of the
squad will go In for a victory, and
the Missionaries will need to do
their stuff with all the heart they
have to win from the Bearcats
The Whitman team will prob
ably outweigh the 'Bearcats' by
several pounds, according to ad
vance dope. - There will also be
more old material, it is understood
though two of the old Whitman
players, who had been counted ou
to help steady the team, have Just
been reported as leaving school
and turning in their suits. If they
were as trustworthy warriors as.
say, Zeller of Willamette, it would
break the heart of the team.
The local squad has not yet
been selected, and the: places are
j still ppen for anyone who an
prove his fitness to fill a winning
j place on the team.
The
Is superior in many ways to the average
run of furnaces. The large oblong fire
box takes large, lasting sticks of wood
and a great saving in fuel can be made by
burning large coarse sticks instead of
short cut and small sizes.
The Western is an all cast furnace and
will last a life time. It is easy to operate
and is guaranteed to heat your home sat
isfactorily. Call and let us show you the Westerner.
SCHOOL BILL
Editor of Liberty Magazine
Presents Argument
Against Measure
W. P. Marin, associate editor
of Liberty Magazine spoke here
Sunday night on the so-called
compulsory education bill.
"The bill is deceptive from its
title all tbrough to the end.', sale
the speaker. "Oregon already has
a compulsory education bill. This
measure if enacted into law is not
so much, calculated to tell parents
that they shall send their children
to school, as it is intended to dic
tate where they shall send them.
It usurps the prerogratives o' the
parents and makes the child a
ward of the state.
Right Held Sacred
"The bill purposes automatical
ly to close all private and church
schools and makes no provision
for operating church or parochial
schools, whatsoever. More than
this, its passage would prohibit a
parent lfving in Oregon from
Eending his child to a private
school outside the state. Many
parents deem it a sacred right
not only to practice their rel'
gion themselves, but as well to
teach it to their children. It was
this as much as any other one
thing that brought the pilgrims to
the new world. They left home,
braved; the icy seas and the frigid
cold of the eastern coast that
they might enjoy freedom of re
ligion for themselves and poster
ity. The very philosophy of Am
ericanism Is that government
should have nothing to do with
the control of religious belief.
Civil liberty needs the support of
religious liberty and cannot en
dure without it.
Belief Individual Right
"Men may differ regarding re
ligious belief but the one is en
titled to his Ideas the same as
the other. A man's citizenship la
not to be tested by his ideas of
religion but rather by his rela
tion to his fellow men. All pri
vate and church schools should
ba required to meet the educa
tional standards of the state but
to close these schools arbitrarily
and say to the parents and guar
dians, you shall not send your
children to the school of your
choice, in the state or out, la rank
tyranny and is to trample upon
the most sacred rights of the con
science. "In heathen Sparta, the child
was considered a ward of the
state. Sacred rights of parenthood
were not regarded. That was the
doctrine of a heathen nation. It
is hard to conceive that Oregon
will place) itself in such a class.
Prussian History Cited
"Prior to the World war, Prus
sia had a law compelling all chil
dren to attend the state schools.
Now, Prussia is a democracy, it
welcomes private and church
schools. -This bill, if made into a
law would Prussianize Oregon.
"But, our government in the
world today has such a measure
among Its laws. That government
is bolshevistic Russia. Even Em
ma Goldman the high' priestess of
anarchy, doesn't want to live
there. If Qregxm enacts this
'compulsory education bill,' it
will take Its place alongside of
estern

Russia and the two will stand
together in an effort to crush out
freedom from worship, trampling
upon the rights of conscience and
invading the sanctity of the
home. In its workings, the pro
posed law would produce a union
of church and state. That would
destroy religious freedom.
Civil Freedom Would Go
"When religious freedom 13
taken away, civil freedom g"oea
with it. One cannot exist with
out the other. Ancient Rome,
a heathen government, dominat
ed the religion of its subjects. As
a. result tens of thousands of its
best citizens were martyred. If
such a regime is featured in Ore
gon, many of the state's best ctr
izens will leave its borders. We
cannot think thhe voters of Ore-jhe
gon will on November 7, pull
downt the flag of freedom .and
down thhe flag of freedom and
ance.'
Good Wrestling Team '
Promised by Chemawa
Chemawa Indians are to go in
to the wrestlin0' game in dead
earnest this winter, expecting to
make it hot for any school that
wants the calim to fight for the
championship.
; Ellis White, for two years the
champion heavyweight and wrest
ling captain at Salem high school
has been engaged as wrestling
coach for Chemawa, and the bpys
are to have regular work tog'et
ready for the winter indoor sea
pon. Last winter, they held Ore-
6n City to better than a draw
! and won a decided victory over
Salem high. The Indians have not
had much skilled coaching here
tofore, but they have strength
and courage that make them for
midable.

Postmaster at Wilhoit
Accused of Maliciously
Delaying Mails
Is
" S. W. McLaren, postmaster at
Wilhoit, Marion county, was , in
dicated by the federal grand jury
last week on a charge of mali
ciously and deliberately delaying
the mails. He was arrested by
federal authorities and taken
to Portland following the return
of the indictment.
Mr. McLaren and his brother
own the springs under the name
of the Wilhoit Water company.
They leased the springs to the
Wilhoit Mineral Springs company,
incorporated. Trouble .between the
parties brought the matter finally
into the courts where it still is un
settled. Because of the personal trou
ble, S. W. McLaren, as postmaster.
is alleged to have taken out his ill
feeling on the Wilhoit Mineral
Springs Company Inc. by refusing
to send the company its mall, with
the exception of bills, and to have
fteturned postoffice orders to the
senders wit hthe notation that no
such firm existed.

gines, and it is to get some other
engine and shop material for
teaching purpofea. Several of the
big car companies are planning
to send engines for shop study,
so that the shop promises to be
a genuine college for all sorts of
mechanical teachings.
The demand for a teaching
c!ass for women car drivers and
owners is growing very insistent,
according to Director Milsom.
The class has not yet been start
ed, however, as the. shop itself is
not yet quite up into condition
for doing the work they want to
present to this class.
Work has been begun on a
Dodge racing car, that one of the
Eyerly classes will build in com
petition with a car to be built by
the other, or Milsam class.- Just
what type vt engine will be se
lected for the second racer, has
not yet been decided.
The Dodge is to have a dual
fly-wheel, one light wbeel at
either end ot the engine to cooun-ter-balance
the strain on the
crank-sHaft. This practice was
first begun with the old Maxwell
racers a number of years ago and
1 now being followed on the
Rickenbacker engine. The Dodge
standard car never dreamed of
this power refinement, but the
automotive school is going to
show the Dodge a new dodge in
engine building.
The school Is showing a
larger attendance and a wider In
terest even than had been1 ex
pected, for both day and night
classes.
