GUIDING CLEMENCEAU Tiger Declares He Will Speak Piece In Own Way; Refuses To Be Compromiser. Aboard Clemenceau's Private Car En Route to Chicago, Nov. 27, (By the Associated Press.) Deep in a campaign for France that already has brought attacks by democrats as well as republi cans on the senate floor and criti cism from the British government Georges Clemenceau today de clared he would speak his piece out in his own way, no matter whom he offended. The French premier of war days, it was learned today, he re- ceived dozens of telegrams from friends and well wishers of France, urging him to tone down his remarks so that they will not offend the portion of the nation he came to win. The telegram urged him to "say things that America wants to hear and be expedient." ; Came to Tell Truth. "I did not come here to be ex pedient," Clemenceau declared when he received this message. "I came to tell the truth. I did not come to say pleasant things, but to say the things that would be of value In my judgment, to help preserve the peace of the world. "1 have never been a compro miser. Now that I have one foot In the grave, least of all will make a sacrifice to be expedient. I don't want a success of expedi ency." Besides the telegrams, Clemen ceau has had personal suggestions from men of importance as to how he should conduct his self imposed task of seeking American (cooperation In settling ine olo world differences. To one who suggested a plan to him in New York yesterday Just before he left for Chicago, where he is to speak Tuesday, the tiger replied, clapping him on the back: May Change Itinerary. "That is a good mission for you. I may be wrong, but I must deliver my message in my own-way, no matter who dislikes it." It was learned today that Clem enceau was considering some changes in his itinerary. One place that he is considering visiting is in the mining town of Clemen ceau, Ariz. Mining men of that town have besieged him with pleas to come, offering to donate the proceeds of the run of the copper mines for the day of his visit to any charity lie names. The sum realized would be about $28,000, he was advised. "I should like to go there," he said. Bu whether he will is still undecided.

PA1T0 ISLE QUEEN IS SUED SUGAR PRICE TO Two football teams, evenly matched in weight, each fast, each determined, each eager for vic tory, will entertain the Salem gridiron fan when, his turkey and cranberries cached, he appears on Sweatland field next Thursday afternoon to watch the Willamette eleven go Into action against the college of Puget Sound. Willamette should win, but it It does, it probably will not be by a large score. Consider, for a mo ment, the somewhat meagre dope as It appears after being sketched out on paper. . , Pacifio Defeated Both. Both the Bearcats and the Ta corna teams have been defeated by Pacific universtly the College of Puget Sound by the one-sided score ot 28 to 0. In connection with this defeat, however. It is well to remember that the invaders were twice within plunging distance of the Pacific goal posts and twice, while striving for, touchdowns, made errors which cost them points. In other words the score doesn't tell all of that mix-up at Forest Grove. Tacomans Are Rested. Another thing. While Willam ette was busy at McMinnville mst Friday, defeating Linfield college by a score of 36 to 0, the Taco mans were likewise busy enjoying nice lull in activities. The Puget Sound institution will have had the advantage of a fortnight's rest, during which the Washing-! tonlan's have been striving to eliminate those rough points that showed in the Pacific game. On the other hand, the Bearcat team came through Fridays con test in good shape. Only one man Bird suffered an injury of consequence. Bird's shoulder was hurt, but he will be In condition by Thanksgiving, according to Coach Bohler. Unless a surprise is sprung, spectators will probably see mostly straight football next Thursday. In their earlier game the Tacoma (Continued on Page Ten.) "MightySteers" Hits Line Last Time Thursday When the timekeeper's revolver cracks next Thursday, afternoon, following the. grid clash between Multnomah and the Olympic club; it will herald the end of William Henry Steers' football career.

He made the announcement yester day. Thanksgiving, when he will serve as half against the Olympic club, Steers will be hurled at line for the last time. Incidental ly his broken toe, which has kept him on the bench except during emergencies recently, is in fair shape. Steers, at the time .the Univer sity of Oregon met Harvard at Pasadena, was declared by critics to be the greatest quarter ever de veloped west of the Mississippi river. A good field general, a broken-field runner , a line plunger, a kicker and a demon at passing. Steers was for three years chosen all-Pacific quartebafk. His football career began in his borne town The Dalles where he played high school football with "Shy" Huntington, now coach of football at the Universtly of Ore gon, and "Scrub" Huntington mentor at the Salem high school IS EXONERATED Helena, Mont., Nov. 27.

TWO STATES FAVOR SPLIT Wyoming and Idaho Com missions Urge Central Pacif if Be Divorced From Espee. , Washington, Nov. 27. Public service commissions of two west ern states Wyoming and Idaho put themselves on record today be fore the Interstate commerce com mission as favoring separation of the. Central Pacific from the Southern Pacific, while the Ne vada commission urged continua tion: of jthe merger. Representa tive fl the three commissions ex pressed; their views at the hearing on the Southern Pacific's applica tion for authority to retain the Central Pacific, even though the supreme court has ordered separa tion.' Representative Mondell, the re publican house leader, aiding the Wyoming commission in argument against the merger, took the post Hon that general national inter ests required an Independent Cen tral Pacifio in order that trans continental lines may be main tained not only in efficient opera tlon but in competitive operation. The interests of his state, he con tended, were particularly effected. "Unfriendly management oi tne Central Pacific might easily create a situation in which the Union Pa cific might lose a large part ot its present tonnage and business," Mr. Mondell asserted, "On the other band, with the Central Paci fio under management and control singly and wholeheartedly favor able to the utilization and develop ment of the transcontinental sys tems, the railroads service now rendered in and to Wyoming would be extended, enlarged and Improved."

Lewis, warden of the state prison here in bis biennial report which was filed with Governor Olcott to day. ' "The present parole law, while a splendid one in principle has been changed so many times that it is very difficult to interpret and, according to the opinion of the attorney general, does not al low prisoners who have been pre viously convicted of a crime to be paroled," Warden Lewis points out in his report. Suggest New Law, "It is my recommendation that this law be repealed and that an entirely new law be drawn up containing the principles of the present law but so worded that there can be no misunderstanding as to its Intents and purposes, and that al, prisoners except those sen (Continued on Page Three.) YEARLY TO GITY There are now enrolled at Wil lamette university 546 students. Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, president .of the' university told members o.f the chamber of commerce at to day's luncheon. And If the great forward move ment to raise money for the unl versity is successful, he predicted that withla three years, there would be an enrollment of more than 1000. Bused on Just merely a business proposition for Salem, Mr. Doncy said that students at least spend $400 each a year. This amount with the $80,000 or more paid out by the university in salaries and other expenses, places Willamette as one of the great business Insti tutions of the city, expending in the city about $300,000 annually "We have reached a point where our buildings are entirely inade quate," declared Dr. Doney, "and we have been compelled to say to number of Btudents 'don't come. Referring to the growth of the university, the speaker said that in 1916 the enrollment was 212 and that the average Increase for the past eight years has been 15 per cent. 'For 25 years I have been en gaged In educational work with colleges," declared Dr. Doney, and I bave never found a group of finer students than we have here in our university. And there Is no finer service in the world than aiding an institution such as we have here in Salem and giv ing young folka an opportunity for education."
