With i Hie d-.'clarntloii that Wilsmi sentiment ' is sweeping the east nnd that there is! little doubt of the president's reelec- tion ill November, George E. Cham- i berhUn, senior I'nited States senator j from Oregon, arrived home last night after h year of hard work In Wash- ' Intton. Without reference to- partisanship i he declared his firm belief that the president will again be successful at ' the pull i in N'oi-emN-r. carrying New !

"To begin with, the creation .f a tariff commission,' tt itr.'o !iiurate c as of prMluction in fureicn eni:utries and put the tariff on a strictly busi ness basis, and the cre:tinn cf the shipping board, coupled wit'.i the o.is sage of the -hip purchase bill, have recommended him .troiily to the Inn-. iness interests of the country. ANTI-SMOKING RULE CAUSES MUCH DISTURBANCE ATP.H.S. The aniisinoking viilc which was made at the first of the school year is proving to be a never ending ques tion. Yesterday morning Superin tendent Park asserted before the stu dent body that he was only carrying out the wishes of ihe school board In enforcing the rule and further than that had nothing to do with It. This morning before the student body he said that it was not his wish to give the impression that the school bom. had made the ruling but rather that he had made the ruling himself and had been backed up by the school board. Mr. Park said that the ruling was meeting with some opposition and that some of the students were even going so far as to declare that they were not getting a square deal either by the smoking rule or by any other rulings made by himself or Mr. Drill. ' A big pep meeting was held this morning at the high school for the purpose of getting the student body' behind athletics. Up to now there has been little enthusiasm shown and for that reason foojball has begun to lug somewhat. The meeting was ta ken up by talks and yells and enthu siasm was fairly well aroused before the meeting adjourned. Dr. Kern, after having given a pep talk, sug gested that as a form of physical cul ture, military training be introduced into the school. He asserted that the government would furnish the rifles and the suits would be furnished at a low price. This, he said, would af ford physical training for the stu dent that would not b able to make the athletic teams as well as to ths athletes. This would be a prepared ness measure as well as physical ex ercise. The meeting altogether probably did more to arouse enthusiasm than anything yet tried, other ways ol arousing enthusiasm will yet be trieu und It Is hoped that the student bod will be worked up to a high pitch be fore long. "Then there is the fact that v have kept out of war and for this he is rightly given the credit. T!ie republi cans say his Mrxic: n policy is mis taken, but they offer no substitute. Taft Ieft Mexican Trouble. "Incidentally he Inherited this Mex ican trouble from Taft. who has also Joined the ranks of his critics. "Other big features which will con tribute to the president's reelection ue the S In ur day law and the chilo labor law, both of which ;-.ppe.".l to the humanitarian side of people and both of which make for individual and national efficiency. "Another 'bit. step forward is the i':ral credits law. the su.'ceis of which nepends to a nrreat extent on the ee sire of farmers to f.irvn nat.on il loin associations. The blu point is that it i"oides the machinery for lone time loans and low vatos oi' inL -rest a thing badly needed by oi.r a.crici lt'intl population. Moe Sax. former Jefferson h",'h school football captain and half back has decided to enter Walla Waila high school instead of the Pendleton; high school. This addition to the; Walla Walla team will make lliatj school one to be reckoned with for) the northwest championship. Saxj would have entered Pendleton high school but decided that he could do better In Walla Walla. As a result of this loss, Pendleton will have to some tall hustling to fill his place. , Mr. Park announced this morning before assembly that student govern ment would be tried in high school As a starter the executive commltu of the student body will be allowed to I reside over the 5th period study room If tho students do not overrun this, privilege other freedoms will be al-l lowed that heretofore were thought; impossible. j Mr. Park says that he is willing to, meet the students half way In any of ' their underta kings.

ONLY NINE DAYS FOR REGISTERING Mr. and Mrs. Voter, difl you know that there are only nine days left in which to register for the national, state and conn- ty election on Nov. 7. The last date upon which voters may register Is October 7 and there are still several thousand vot- ers in the county unregistered. Those who registered for the spring primaries do not have to register again unless they have moved Into another precinct since the date of the primaries. County Clerk Frank Sating states that there arc only a few voters registering eich day. Unless there is a grand fin it rush, many voters will find themselves un- qualified to vote at the Noveni- ber election. ROUND-VP CROWDS SPENT MORE THAN IN SEVERAL YEARS The crowd that attended the (tound-l'p last week was the best spending crowd that has been a: the big show in several years, according to reports received from local mer chants Good crops and the general prosperity had put money In their pockets and they were ready to iy for their good tlmo and for such mer chandise as took therr fancy One clothing merchant states that the rtound-l'p business of last week will make hi3 September receipts thia year double that of last year. One of the garage owners stated that he did three times the volume of business this year that he did last and one of the cigar store proprietors reports his Saturday business J100 better than the Saturday business of the week. And thus down the line, al! buslneFS places make like reports. It is difficult to estimate how much money was left in the city during the week by visitors but the amount will run Into the many thousands. IS PUT OUT OF COURT Motion for Xon-Suit on Grounds o!
