Oshkosh, Wis., Oct 26. Newspa
per paragraphers who delight In point
ing tho finger of scorn at Oshkosh as
the synonym for the abode of bucolic
Ignorance are to be denounced as
shameless prevaricators, If the local
clubwomen have their way. The State
Federation of Women's Clubs con
vened here today for Its annual ses
sion, and local members may ask the
assistance of the state body in placing
Oshkosh in Its proper light before the
world. It . is asserted that there is
more real culture and refinement to
the square Inch in Oshkosh than in
New York, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta
or any other city whose 'newspapers
indulge in peevish snarls about the
rustic simplicity of the Winnebago
county metropolis. Oshkosh Is not a
Joke, and the members of the Am
erican Association of Press Humor
ists are to be brought to a realization
of the fact.
Aside from the defense of the fair
name of Oshkosh, the fair delegates
will devote their time principally to
political topics. In accordance with a
decision reached at the Milwaukee
meeting two years ago that the even
years be given over to reforming po
litics and the legislature, and the odd
years to art and literature. State
parks, child labor and other legisla
tive topics will occupy much of the
time devoted to addresses, papers and
discussions today and tomorrow.

It Is said that players are being
lured from other clubs by the pay

Southern league, Western league and
other minor organizations will be
ransacked for their best players, as
well as the major league clubs.
Several attempts have been made
In recent years to establish outlaw

lack of sufficient financial backing
and through public apathy. The Uni

SWORN STATEMENT SHOWS BOUM CROSSLY
EASTERN

made regarding the normal schools by
Jay Bowerman and other anti-normal
school men, the East Oregonian has
secured an accurate statement bear
ing upon the cost per student and the
cost per graduate In Oregon. The
statement below Is In the form of a
sworn affidavit and gives the lie di
rect to Bowerman's recent assertion
that Oregon has been forced to pay
$12,500 each for normal graduates.
Normal School Statistics.
The average cost of graduating
trained teachers from the normal
schools of the United States In 1902

was $420.

SAYS TAFT WILL BE PIT
INTO HALL OF INFAMY
Dccluros Roosevelt by Ills Present
Policy Is Forcing Man He Put In
Presidential Chair to Appear In
oonietcnt Reviews T. R.'s Views
on Eight Other President Ridi
cules Ills Doctrine of New Nation
alism. New York, Oct. 26. Martin W.
Littleton, democratic candidate for
congress from the Oyster Bay district
in an address last night at Carnegie
Hall, turned his guns on Colonel
Roosevelt, his attack being remark
ably chiefly for Its novelty. New
Nationalism, Roosevelt's new doctrine
was made the object of ridicule along
with its champion.
The new nationalism, he said, has
Its source In the abiding disrespect
Mr. Roosevelt has constantly shown
toward "our form of republic," which
hac caused htm to show dissatisfac
tion with the public men of this
country as well as Its institutions.
He (Roosevelt) has not yet com
pleted his symposium of mediocrity,"
continued Mr. Littleton. "He has not
Concluded his catalogue of Incom
petents; but there seems to be anoth
er president scheduled to fall under
his condemnation. There seems to be
another who will find his place with
Buchanan, the 'shifty and selfish poli
tician,' with Tyler, who was a politi
cian of monumental littleness, with
Van Buren.who 'faithfully served the
mammon of. unrighteousness with
Jackson who "was ignorant and head
strong,' with Monroe' who was a
'courteous gentleman of no especial
ability,' with Madison, whose . 'inca
pacity brought shame and disgrace
to America In the war of 1S12," with
Jefferson, 'the most incapable presi
dent that ever filled the president's
chair,' with Polk, the very smallest of
the line of small presidents who came
between Jackson and Lincoln."
"And this president awaiting, no
doubt, his place in this hall of Infamy
is one that Mr. Roosevelt himself
created. It is a pathetic picture of
broken friendship; it Is a sad commen
tary upon the stability of political al
liances to see a patient Just, earnest,
plain and rugged Judge, who occu
pies the position of president, almost
crowded out of his place and exclud
ed from the prerogatives of his office
by a man who continues to reign
wherever and whomsoever he may.
"Is It any wonder then that he
preached "New Nationalism?' Need
one be surprised at this strange doc
trine? Having gotten his views re
specting eight of the presidents of the
United States and having surmised
his attitude toward a ninth, need we
be surprised that ho finds no diffi
culty In urging a radical change in
the structure of the government a
change which Is the strangest mixture
of socialism and empire; a most
unique notion of despotism and dis
order?" BILLY PAPKE DEFEATS

During the bl-ennlal period 1907-08.

cal Chief Says Men Cannot Live in

Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 26. Outside of
government officials, who profess to
believed that Hawley and Post, the
crew of the lost America II, are safe,
very few believe the aeronauts are
alive. It was learned positively today
that they carried fire arms and fish-
I ing tackle so they could withstand
j hardships for days. Professor Rock,
I chief of the geological survey, believes
they cannot be alive. The country In
which they are supposed to have
' alighted, is barren of game and so
cld that none except those acclimated
! could live, he said. The searchers
have found no clews as yet
Cannot Survive.
1 Opinion Is divided as to the possl
bllity of rescuing the men even if
: they passed safely over Lake Huron
i and Georgian Bay in the vast wilder
i ness of northern Ontario and Quebec
! or the Ungave districts, still further
north. Professor R. W. Beck, dlrec
I tor of the geological survey, who
i knows the country, like a book, Is of
I the opinion that the aeronants will
' surely perish if they sailed Into the
I (ar northern sections. There are parts
j of it, he said, where Indians and half.
j breed hunters have starved to death.
I Other officials. Including Sir Wll
, frld Laurler, who is taking a keen In-
i terest in the search for the lost men,
j believe they will come out all right,
: eepeclally if they landed south of the
I new line of the transcontinental rail-
way.
j The lack of means of communica
j tlon with government aids in the un
j settled regions of Quebec Is making
It extremely difficult to follow the
original plan of plotting out the
i courses of the Isle De France, Har
jmirg in. Azurea, Helvetia. Germanla
; and Dusseldorf from miscellaneous
r ports. As a substitute, it has been
decided to work from a map showing
the course as remembered by the bal
loonists themselves.
The reports from points distant
from the territory covered by any of
the six will be Investigated and fol
lowed up If the lead proves promis
ing. It Is understood that the balloon.

Reward Is Offered.
New York, Oct. 26 Five thousand
dollars reward was today offered for
information leading to the where
abouts of the balloon American. It
13 expected that other rewards will be
added later. R. H. Johnstone who
accompanied Hawley on several trips
Into Canada, believes the aeronauts
are alive. He said Hawley Is a nat
ural woodsman.

Dr. Sheldon's bulletin, Issued from
the University of Oregon In 1906,
shows that seven states have one nor

ranging from two to 19 In number,
and two states have none. Does Ore
gon want to make a third?
Dr. Sheldon's bulletin also shows
that nine state superintendents favor

more.
