What
They think of-
"Road Hogs and if -f
There" is a cure - ,
For this eviL .
SO far as this newspaper has
been able to discover, no
prizes have been offered at the
Oregon State Fair or else
where for the biggest "road
hog" extant. In fact, quite to
the contrary. Jurt to find out as
nearly as possible what Salem
residents really think of this
species of pest the New Ore
gon Statesman made Inquiry of
several citizens. This Is what
they said:
J. B. BIVINS, transient, of
Des Moines, la., said: " I would
hate to see in prine what I
think of the 'road hog.' In a
good many thousand miles of
automobile travel I have en.
countered him in different
guises and varying degrees of
cussed ness. If I could, I would
abolish the 'road hog' in some
artistically painful way, such as
boiling in oil or some such
gentle torture."
CHARLES ELRET, cashier
of; the American Fidelity In
vestment company, said: "I'm
for putting all road hogs In the
penitentiary take away their
driver's licenses and every,
thing. As for drivers of auto
stages, I never noticed they
were any worse than the rest
of them. -Of course there are
some good and some bad, Just
like in. any other group."
MARTIN F. FERREY. local
Unitarian minister and attorney
at lawsaid: "I think a road
hog is a potential - murderer.
Most accidents on the high,
way are caused by some driver
getting out of place; if every
one stayed right where the law
requires him to stay there
would be very few accidents.
Ouil traffic rules are made on
the basis of Just halt the road
to each driver, and when one
takes more than that half he
has; a demoralizing effect on the
whole situation. ' If you will
notice, for Instance, where the
Immediate cause of an accident
is the sideswiplng of one ma
chine, in nine cases out of 10
you will find that Just previous
to that he was out in the road
somewhere where he didn' be
long, and - suddenly tried to
stop."
MRS. F. N. WOODRY said:
"They are terrible. As a class
I consider road hogs hopeless.
Surely they must be weak In
their minds, or they would not
endanger their own lives even
if they have no consideration
for the lives of others."
E. A. LYTLE said: "Well, if
you weren't a lady I could tell
you a lot of things about them.
But it wouldn't be very polite
to you. I've driven 50,000 miles
in the last two years. I drive
back and forth from Salem to
Woodburn every day. I've been
crowded into the ditch and had
everything else happen to me
through road hogs, and believe
me. I'd sure appreciate it if
you could do anything about
them. I've often thought that
there ought to be some sort of
arrangement connected with
the i car that would enable an
Inoffensive "motorist to shoot
the road hog who won't let
by, or beat up the bum who
crowded him into the ditch."
C. A. BRODERSEN, Forest
Grove, delegate to K. P. grand
lodge, said: "Road hogs should
be sent to school to learn some'
manners. Good conduct to oth.
ers on the road Is just as es
sential as any where else."
L. T. GEORGE, former Salem
restaurant man, now Interested
in mining In southern Oregon,
salds "Road hogs ought to be
sent!to7the rock pile. I can
think of many things labeled
as crimes, which are less a men

DULUTH. Minn., Oct 9. (AP)
Positions of Herbert Hoover
and Governor Smith on the con
troversial St. Lawrence rive wat
erway project, a live Issue in the
northwest, were discussed tonight
by Senator Curtis, the republican
vice-presidential nominee before
an audience which Jammed the
Ouluth armory.
Senator Curtis declared Mr.
Hoover's statements showed that
the republican nominee was "ob
viously" in favor of the St Law
rence river route for a Great
Lakes to the sea outlet a propo
sition favored by the northwest
He declared Governor Smith e
stand "very much in doubt"
Speaker Accorded
Warm Welcome
The rice-presidential nominee
was given a warm welcome by the
crowds. In his first Minnesota vis
it he called for the election of the
straight republican ticket and
mentioned by name Arthur E. Nel
son, republican nominee for the
senate, who is opposed by Senator
Shipstead, farmer-labor candidate.
Senator Curtis -made no refer
ence to Senator Shipstead.
"Knowing the interest of the
people in this section of our coun
try in the St. Lawrence waterway"
Curtis said, "I desire to call your
attention to what the candiddtee
for president have said on that
subject"
"On October 16, 1920, Governor
Smith sent the following message
against the St Lawrence water
way to the international joint com
mission? West's Interests
Strongly Approved
'I would have you know that
New--York protests with all Its
might and will oppose the pro
ject to the limit of Us resources.'
"Mr. Hoover made the follow
ing statement to the same commis
sion on October 20, 1920:
'I have fell the construction ot
this system (the St Lawrence
canal) would be of very great im
portance to the existing and to be
developed agricultural resources of
our entire country.'
'Governor Smith has since said:
1 have heretofore professed a
preference for, the all-America a
route, basing my views on engi
neers' reports made to me. The
correctness of these reports and
also of those favoring the St Law
rence route has been challenged.
As president of the United States,
therefore it would be my clear duty
to study this question impartial
ly upon engineers' reports.'
"It is obvious from .these state
ments where Mr. Hoover stands
on the St Lawrence project but it
is doubtful what position Mr.
Smith takes."

. ran Antonio. Tex.. Oct 9.
(AP)- The measured tread of
Tnnhins' feet, familiar in war
tim davs. re-echoed through the
streets of San Antonio today. Ten
thousand former service men and
members of the American Legion
auxiliary passed, in review before
countless spectators who greetea
each state's delegation with spirit
ed bursts of cheering as they
passed by points of vantage.
Beginning shortly before noon
the line of marchers, a blend of
multlcoloredvniforms, required
more than four hours to pass the
historic Alamo building, near
which National Commander Ed
ward E. Spatford, General John
J. Pershing, Viscount Allenby,
Governor Dan Moody of Texas
and other dignitaries, watched the
one time soldiers stride" by.
Scenes Unlike .
World War Days
Through the khaki-colored uni
forms of soldiers from nearby
military posts reawakened memories-
of the days when America
shouldered arms In behalf of the
allied cause, legionnaires who
marched today under the burning
rays of sunshine were not the ser
ious faced boys of 10 years ago
who were to encounter the grim
ness of war.
Smiles lighted the faces of
these men who once stood knee
deep In the mud of the trenches
and. few made any attempt to
keep step with the strains of mar.
tial music that, filled the air. In
stead they passed by in none too
perfect file, shouting greetings to
friends In the vast audience which
crowded every available platform
and peered down from windows
of office buildings.

Oregon Delegation
Attracts Attention
The Oregon contingent present
ed one of the outstanding entries
in the parade today. The Grants

wolf hides and carrying huge

brought up the rear guard.

WILLAMETTE DRIVE
Committee of Eijht is Named
to Raise Total of Near
ly $300,000
Plans looking to the raising of
nearly $300,000 necessary to meet
WUliamette university's ; contract
with the Rockefeller Foundation
were outlined ,at a meeting of the
committee-of 15 from the board of
trustees and alumni of the uni
versity with President Doney of
that institution Tuesday after
noon. According to the agreement
the Rockefeller Foundation is to
give $350,000 when the university
has raised $650,000.
At the meeting yesterday a
committee of eight, with R. A.
Booth as chairman, was appointed
to raise the necessary money.
Pledges for this amount must be
made before Christmas this year,
and must be paid by October 1,
1929. The committee in charge
of the drive includes Dr. W. W.
Youngson, Dr. B. L. Steeves, Dr.
Carl G. Doney, A. L. Howarth,
Paul Wallace. J. A. C. Oakes and
M. R. De Long.
Dr. Howarth will obtain two
men who have had experience in
movements of this sort and will
inform Dr. Doney when he has
made arrangements with them. A
meeting of the special committee
will then be called to go forward
with the drive.
In the Forward Movement cam
paign of 1922. pledges for $1,000,
000 were obtained. From this
money the gymnasium was built.
improvements made on other
buildings, and old debts paid. Of
the pledges made in 1922, some
$200,000 were for deferred pay
ment Of the remaining $800,000
about $639,000 have been paid
to date. - Thus, as Dr. Doney in
dicated, the present campaign
must virtually raise the balance to
make $750,000 clear for endow
ment and the amount that .was
necessary for building the gym
nasium, repairing Waller hall and
aying former obligations.

Total of Five Circuit Clouts
Poled Out by Members

New York Americans Sew
up World Championship
for Season of 1928
By ALAN J. GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor
SPPORTSMANS PARK, St.
Louis, Oct. 9 (AP) ine -kM
said it with home runs to
day and brought the 192S world's
series to a crashing, record-bust-in?
conclusion with their fourth
straight triumph over the Card
inals. ,
Five crackling circuit clouts,
three of them by the one and only
Babe Ruth, lour oi tnem in io
successive innings, and all.ef
them sounding taps for the Red
birds, enabled the Yankees to win
bv the decisive count of 7 to 3,
and record a new world s series
achievement by making their sec
ond successive clean sweep over
national league champions.
Babe Dominates
Whole Situation
The central and dominating
figure In the most smashing tri
umph of world's series nisiory,
was the mighty Ruth, his second
started- the downfall of Willie
Sherdel, game little southpaw of
the Cardinals, and his third equal
led the record of long range clout
ing that he himself set In the same
park two years ago.
The tide ?and drama of the
whole game turned upon Ruth in
the seventh inning in remarkable
lashlon, at a time when the Yan
kee punch was conspicuous by its
absence and when the Cardinals
were holding tenaciously to a one
run lead. Behind the clever pinch
pitching of Sherdel, gamely seek
ing to break the Yankees jinx,, the
Cardinals had revamped their
lineup in this last ditch fight and
they seemed in a fair way to suc
ceed until the Bambino lumbered
into the picture in the seventh.
Debate Follows
Sadden Toss
Ruth had driven one ball out of
the park, a drive that cleared the
roof of the right field stands in
the fourth, and Sherdel was pitch
ing cautiously. One strike was
