HILLES THE GOAT.
Cl.-iiniiiiK thnl the essential part of
the proposed reorganization of the
republican parly is llie retirement of
Mr. J lilies, tiie present chairman, an
editorial writer makes a strong pica
ill one of the leading newspapers of
the 1'acific Coast for a change in the
personnel of the leadership of the
parly.
The Democrat agrees with the sell
timcnls expressed in the editorial in
iofar as they relate to the nronosed
retirement of Mr. Ililles. The pres
ent chairman is a creature of Kx
rresidenl Tafl. lie owes liis present
position to liis former chief, for he
had by no means attained a position
in the party which would entitle him
to the de lacto leadership of the or
ganization at the lime he was selected
is chairman of the Republican Cen
tral Committee.
The Democrat hastens to assure
our Republican contemporary, how
ever, that it will take more than the
elimination of Ililles and the selection
of a new Moses before the hosts of
Kepubbcaiiisiii can be lead to the
promised la. id ,,f political success,
there miisl be a change of measures
as well as of men. The platform of
! Republican parly as ordained m
Ol. must be revised and that revision
must .lie diclalcd by men who are nol
lied hand and foot to the big interests.
The theory of high protection iias
been exploded. The prescription of
Roosevelt an. I Taft has been follow
ed to the letter in dealing with the
Irusl problem, Inn the patient has
steadily failed lo yield to the treat
ment. The failure of both Taft and
Roosevelt to provide a safe ami sane
currency measure which at the .same,
time would prove of some benefit lo
the ordinary cilicu has caused lliou
sauds and thousands of former loyal
Republican lo turn o ihe party "of
Jeflersou for relief. '!'!;. er.o s of
omission on the part of successive
Republican presidents have been al
most as great as their errors ot com
mission. Not oi ly has the pariy er
red in the selection of leaders, but
Ihe organialion has drilled from ii,
ancient moorings and become .11. c
parly of privilege, li no longer fol
lows Ihe leadership of Lincoln. Il
has substituted Aldiicli and men of
his type for il.e honored iea.lrrs 01
the palmy days of its earlier and more
glorious history.
No. a change in mere leadership of
the orgaiiiaiion i, Mtll enough. 11
the lir.iud 1)1,1 Party would again ob
tain the coniiilcnce of ihe people il
must not only attract more plii'Mes
sive men, bin II must also make a
complete change in front on uui.v
important poluical .p.cMions, and ob
tain a complete and absolute divorce
from privilege.

NO CHANCE FOR ANOTHER
GAME THIS YEAR BETWEEN
VARSITY AND AGGIES
University People Were Willing
to Play But Dr. Stewart Put;
His Foot Down and Flatly
Says No.
That there is no chance for another
football game between the University
of Oregon and the Oregon Agricul
tural college this year,: is indicated
decisively by the fact that Saturday
was the only possible date for such a
contest, that both schools are opposed
to post season games and by the fact
that the college people have entirely
backed down on the proposition.
This was learned yesterday when
one of the local agitators of the game
communicated wiUi Dr. Stewart, ath
letic director of the college, wdio by
the way is acrrcdited with saying that
not attention should 'be given any
proposition originating in Albany, who
put bis foot down flatly of agreeing
to arrange for a second game.
On t,he other hand the university
people were anxious to have a game.
It is said that they would be willing
to play a game by arc lights, even if
it was only a game of marbles, in or
der to settle November eighth's 10 to
10 tie. When the proposition was
first broached, the Corvallis people
said they were perfectly willing to
play if the varsity contingent would
agree. This the latter did but the
last straw came yesterday when tiie
doctor said no.

Eugene, Or., Nov. 20. Robert F.

The automobile was on the track
when the speeder dashed down at
terrific speed. So great was the im
pact that Smithwick Was hurled 30
feet and fell, his skull being crushed,
probably from impact with a rail.
The accident happened on a bit of
straight track, and was due, probably,
to the fact that both parties were
watching a construction train three
quarters of a mile down the railroad.

though dazed and with blood running
from a deep gash over his eye, Yoak
um, wdio had been driving the speed
er and who had a red flag in his hand

two injured men were brought imme
diately to Eugene and the two men
taken to the hospital.
Whitney grittily refused to lie down
in the ambulance, but he fainted be
fore reaching the operation room. His
scalp was badly torn and he received
other scratches and bruises. Yoakum
suffered but the single injury.

SEEK RECOVERY ON
WAREHOUSE BOND
First Case of Kind Went to
Trial in Circuit Court tiere
This Morning.
TRIAL IS ATTRACTING
CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION
Smith Cox and Twenty Other
Linn County Men Named
As Plaintiffs.
As far as is known the first cases
ever brought in Oregon to collect on
a warehousemans bond went to trial
in the Linn county circuit court this
morning, when Circuit Judge Gallo
way convened department Xo. 2 at 10
o'clock. There are two such cases to
come up and it is expected that it will
take a week to complete them. Many
attorneys are interested in the suits.
Giving io the large number of people
interested directly in the outcome of
these cases and the prominence of
the bondsmen and many of the other
men interested, the trials will attract
a great deal of attention.
Both cases grow out of the failure
of the Albany Partners' company in
1908. The company conducted ware
houses at Albany, Tangent and Tall
man. After a suit for a receivership
which had been instituted here the
company went into bankruptcy. Those
who had grain stored in the warehous
es at the time of the failure have re
ceived their prorata payment from
the bankruptcy court and the amounts
so received are deducted from their
claims against the compunv and its
bondsmen in the suits to be tried.
The law requiring warehouse com
panies storing grain belonging to oth
er people to file a bond for the pro
tection of their customers was passed
by the Oregon legislature in 19U3 and
o far as is known these are the first
cases which were ever brought to
enforce the payment of such a bond
in this state.
The case that went trial this morn
ing and is in progress this afternoon
is that brought by Smith Cox and
twenty other Linn county men who
had grain stored in the warehouses of
the Albany Earmers' Co. at the lime
of the failure. They are suing on a
bond for $15,1X10 given by the Albany
Earmers' Co. in 191)7 with Phil Swank,
John Denny, S. J. Archibald, Thomas
Eroman and M. II. Wilds, five prom
inert Linn county men as sureties.
Den nv and Wilds are now deceased
and their heirs are defendants in this
suit. A large number of other men
who arc known to have had grain
stored in the warehouse when the far
mers' company went into bankruptcy
are also named as defendants in the
case as an accounting is asked for as
wed as a recovery on the bond.
The other case was brought by Ered
Holzapfel. and six other local men for
a recovery on the bond for $15,000
which the company gave in 1906. The
sureties on this bond are J. W. Propst,
S. J. Archibald, Phil Swank, John
Denny and A. Mevins. This case wiil
go to trial immediately upon tlje com
: htion of the first one.
Tl c attorneys in the ca-e for the
d limit! are jfewit and Sox and for
the defendants Weatherford and
Weatherford. Attorneys Swarm. Sti
te and Hilyeu will represent other
pa ''ties involved in the suit.
After the case was called to trial,
on motion of attorneys an effort will
he made to compromise the case or
settle it in sonic way that will be
agreeable to all parties concerned.
Ti'is action came as a surprise. After
the matter was argued it was defer
red for final a;tion until tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock.
Cms-table John Catlm returned this
morning from Halsey where he had
been to visit relative s .
