She was very properly detain ed by the government immigration officials and ordered deported. In her native country she has been convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude. Jiy her own government she is held -us an undesirable citizen and she now seeks entrance into a foreign port for the avowed purpose of repeating her spectacular crimes, breeding dis- outcut and making a laughing stock of the laws of the laud. Had the im migration officials admitted her un der the circumstances they would i have been unfaithful to that portion of their oath of office which requires (.hem to support and enforce the constitution of the United States. She is an undesirable alien and as such is entitled to no favors at the hands of the government. .Mrs. Pankhurst and those who have ' dlowed her leadership in Great Irrit ant are a libel against their own sex. They have irreparably injured a cause which they sought to promote. Their methods are the strongest argument yet advanced against equal suffrage in England. The spectacular means employed to promote their cause, their open and notorious defiance of law, their lack of discretion, their temperate statements, and their un womanly conduct have all contributed to damn the entire movement among sober thinking Englishmen. Mrs. Pankhurst is an unwomanly woman and an unnatural one. She has none of the finer instincts which are characteristic of the feminine sex. She lacks judgment, intellect and character. She is a lawbreaker and a fool. She is the greatest livig ene my of the cause which she advocates Suffrage will come in England soon er of lalcrl, as it will in every other country, but it will be in s-u'e of Mrs. Pankhurst and her band of will-iyed ed followers. She is the largest stone in the path ot women's pro gross, anil from the standpoint of those who advocate an t believe in equal election privileges fo both men and women, the sooner th.it stone is removed the better. If Mrs. Pank hurst would render a real service to the suffrage movement, let her g-i on a hunger strike in the privacy of her own home, and by her own voli tion thus remove from the world of men, the one woman who has done more to make the "voles for women" movement in England a pa roily on justice and the militant leaders the laughing stock of the world. Let Mr. Pankhurst, and the female lunatics who ha e been her partner in crime, follow the e.uuple of the women of Oregon, The Oregonians won a gieat fight and they won it solely because at no time did they for get that their creator had made them women. They used fair and lawful means and thus demonstrated their fitness for the ballot. Mrs. Pankhurst lias proved to the world that a padded cell would be more in keeping with lirr intellect than the election booth. After alt the Ileiinvr.it believes that the Otegoni.iu was rii'ht when it referred to IV 'sident Wilson as the "school master statesman." The new ptcMdent appears to have taught the members of cong es the tine meaning of the worils "Progressive Democra cy" and has .successfully compelled I hem lo put his ideas into practical execution. The fellow tbat Ims the Ie t-1 t say usually does the moM talking. of the most important institn lions in Albany is the public library. It is well supplied with the best lit erature, h under capable management lieu It lo inal.c too liberal an Jipjiro- j ' ri;.tion fur an institution of this c h r-1 actcr. I A North Carolina man has been re fused a license to marry. He is old enough to know better anyway. To find a man big enough and broad enough to make a capable mayor and at the same time one who is fool enough to run and popular enough to be elected is the question which is just now concerning the people of Al bany. Is the furnace oiled and ready for its task? Not much longer in soft breezes may we bask, for winter soon is due, with its sting and storm and stew that's the reason, gentle read er, why I ask. Have you banked the house the way it ought to be? Have you got a pile of kindling fair to sec? Have you got your winter's slate ready for the stove and grate? Oh, you ought to try and pattern after me! For old Winter never hits me unawares; I am ready when he rips irouud and tears, with my briar and my book, in the cozy inglcnook, with my feet upon a half a dozen chairs. Ah, the careless man is always in the hole; when the blizzards and the tem pests start to roll, he is raging here and there, in his fury and dispair, begging dealers for a basketful of coal. And the dealers view his com ing with a frown, and they wilt him with a glance and turn him down, for their phones arc bringing in, with a clangor and a din, such appeals from every corner of the town. How I wish you'd look ahead a day or two, and be ready for the storm with a house that's good and warm, and a larder full of tempting things to chew. Walt Mason. Former Albany Man Here. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hoguc, of Klam ith Falls, have been visiting in the city the guests of Mrs. H optic's bro ther, Judge Kelly, and mother, Mrs M. J.

INITIATED LARGEST SINGLE GLASS LAST NIGHT Two City Officials and Nine Others Take Obligation of the First Rank, East, night the largest class in the history of Laurel Lodge No. 7, Knights of Pythias, was initiated into . st rank, when several prominent residents, including two city officials, took the obligation. The event was a noteworthy one. A striking feature was the' adminis tration of the obligation of the rank, by a son of his father, when Leland Gilbert, prelate of the lodge, ad ministered to his father, Mayor Gil bert. Another feature of this par; of the program was that yesterday was the forty-fifty birthday of the mayor. Two other noteworthy fea tures were that another city official and a brother of the mayor were in itiated into the order at the same time, when Councilman John R. Hul bert and S. S. Gilbert assumed the obligation of the rank. Altogether eleven were taken in last night. Of this number six were from the Rathbone Bible class, from Albany who were initiated at the grand lodge in Portland last week, being the largest delegation from any city. They arc W. G. Ballack, Ed. Washburn, S. N. Braden, Neil M. Bain, Sigurd B. Carlson and J. R. Hulbert. Others who went in last night were Harry Stearns, A, F. and J. W. Dooley, aside from S. S. Gilbert and Mayor Gilbert. Next week it is expected that at least eleven or twelve more candidates will be ready to ride the go;:r. Get Season Tickets at. Door. Sec retary Foster of the Y. M. C. A. stat ed this afternoon that all of those who have not secured their season 'tickets for the lecture course, may se cure same at the door Wednesday night, prior to the opening of the first entertainment by Ralph Parlctte at the United Presbyterian church. Thi3 convenience is arranged because of Mr. Foster's inability to see all of those who pledged themselves to pur chase tickets in the canvass thai wa recently conducted. Alley Being Paved.

The work will be com pleted within a short while. Nothing Heard of Fugitives.

John Robson, leturned last night from an eastern which he visited his moth er who resides in Iowa. Mr. Robson says times are good in the east and he saw one Bull Moose on the trip. Assumed Business Names Filed. This morning R. M. Hutchins, as proprietor of the Clover Leaf Dairy filed the assumed business name of that concern with County Clerk Marks. Eugene is In Lead. The result of the regular work in the Y. M. C. A. at Albany is 250 points for member ship, and 188 dollars paid. Salem has not reported though the report trom that association should have been in by Saturday night. It was said that Salem had not made any phe nominal record or they would have been anxious to report progress. The report of Albany seems low in com parison with Eugene but this is ac ounted for by the fact that Albany 'ssociation is a new one and has not the renewals to boost their member ship that older ones have. However, Albany has a newer territory to work over and will doubtless give a good account in the final reckoning. Guardian Appointed. This morn ing Judge Galloway appointed a guar dian ad litem for the defendant in the case of Le welling against R. Gold blatt, a minor. A Goldblatt was nam ed. The case was brought by Lew elling as trustee to recover goods al leged to have been purchased from the bankrupt concern of R. Rotroway & Sons, to save them from being sold with the stock. Goldblatt. who runs a second hand clothing establishment, runs it in his 7 year old son's name. Saturday was Big Day. Saturday was a big day at the city recorder's office for registration, in fact it was the biggest day since the books op ened. A total of 134 registered.

CLAIMS HE WAS TREATED CRUELLY BY THEM Deeded Land to be Cared for Fearing He Was Close to Deaths Door.
