FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1912. Wall Street vs. Wilson. . In commenting upon the work of the sixty-second congress, Speaker Champ Clark sums up the net results of the majority numbers as follows: "Jt lias reduced expenditures, curbed republican extravagance, restored freedom of debate in congress, admitted Arizona a'nd New Mexico, revised the tarilT downward, provided for the di rect election of senators, propos ed an income tax, compelled the publication of campaign contri butions before elections, un shackled labor, removed the gag from federal employes, extended the principles of the eight hour day and rebuked Russia in vindi cation of American citizenship." This is the record which the democratic parly will present to the voters in November. The is sues arc joined and the record can not be disputed. If Mr. Taft and the republican members of congress expect to win in November, they must de fend the l'ayne-Aldneh tarilT; they must explain to the satisfac tion of the country, the presi dent's veto of the democratic tar ilT bills; tlicy must apologize for the alliance between Taft and Ahlrich; they must excuse the parlnorship between the republi can organization and big busi ness, ami lliey must vindicate the action of the Taft managers at the Chicago convention. The democratic party presents for the consideration of the elect ors, a progressive candidate. They have adopted a progressive platform; they have no apologies to make and none are expected by the electors. (iovernor Osboru of Michigan clearly defined the issues of the campaign when he said, "The is sue is clearly driwn fur the peo ple, It is Wall street against Wilson." 1 Neither lladley or Cumiiiiii'. will man the ship "Roosevelt" on its voyage to oblivion. This is the open season for 1'uili Moose. After March -Jtli President Taft will have plenty of leisure time to enjoy the healthful and invigorat ing game of golf. The republican patty is no lirnger the party of Lincoln. It has drilled from its ancient moorings and abandoned its best pr'nciples. The organization as it is now constituted represents the will of the great master mind who di rects the manipulations in Wall street. The plain people have no place i.i its councils, no rights and no privileges, other than to vote the ticket in November. The Rural Schools. At a recent meeting of the Na tional I ducational Association, the most important subject pre sented for discussion was that of improving the condition of the rural schools. Of the :0.000,000 school chil dren in the United States, 12,000, 000 receive their education in the little red school house, but up to the present time but little thought or attention has been given to the country school by the great edu cators. It is a notorious fact that the rural schools of the comitry have 'cen sadly neglected. In many instances incompetent instructors i i i i .i... nave uccii sccuicu aim me coun try child who is unable to afford the luxury of an education in the schools of some 'nearby town, foes through life with a training which is far from adequate to present day needs. In speaking at the meeting of the National Educational Associ ation James V. Joyner, an edu cator of note from Raleigh, X. C, summed up the situation as fol lows : "There must be a revival of interest in the country school if the education of the country is to progress." "We must cease centering all our attention on the city schools. There must be aroused in the school house in the desert, on the mountain or on the farm a love of rural life and not a hatred of it. "Xeglect our rural schools and they will be deserted. Make them attractive anJ comfortable, a'nd education will flourish." I'rofcssor Joyner is right and his plea for a revival of interest in the country schools opened up a sttbjuct which is well worthy of discussion by the educational so cieties of America. One plan advanced in the in terest of the rural schools is that of state appropriations. This plan has been in force in the state of Arizona and is working suc cessfully. The sum of $1,000,000 has been appropriated by the leg islature of that slate for educa tional purposes and any rural school with eight or more pupils may draw upon the state treasury for $1,000.00 annually. The Mating of Unfits. In Nebraska last year there was one divorce for every twen ty persons placed under arrest. The figures are cited in sup port of a bill to be presented to the next legislature to prevent the marriage of tnulesirables and defectives, confirmed paupers, criminals, imbeciles, habitual drunkards, persons afflicted with contagious diseases, idiots and those unable to pass a physical examination by a reputable phy sician. The bill is said to have the ap proval of the governor. 'There is claim that it will make divorce less prevalent, lessen crime, and m time result in a greatly min imized public expense for jails, asylums a1; id reformatories. There is a woeful ignorance of the responsibilities of marriage! There is not the slightest doubt that the mating uf unfits is a ca lamity to homes, a blight to chil dren and disastrous to society. The Nebraska government is founded on common sense, is full of intelligence, and is very likely to become one of the widespread reforms of the future. Portland Journal.

MONDAY E Special Train of Eight Coaches Arrives In Albany Sunday Morning at 11 o'clock. VISITORS WERE TAKEN FOR AUTO RIDE ABOUT THE CITY Informal Reception Tendered Southern Oregonians at the Local Elks Temple. Hello Bill! was the cheery greet ing heard on all sides when the spe cial train bearing the members of the Medford and Klamath Falls lodges r.f Elks and their ladies pulled in at the union depot yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. The local lodge of Elks No. 359 had received word Saturday morning an nouncing the coming of the Medford Elks' special train of eight coaches and when the long train pulled in the railway yard, nearly two hundred numbers of the Albany lodge were on hand to welcome them and extend to them the freedom of the city. When the train came to a stop here, the Elks' band of this city struck up a lively air and upon finishing the selection were greeted with an ova tion by the members of the antlered herd. The ladies of the party, including sixty-live from Medford and fifteen from Klamath Falls, were escorted to the automobiles, forty of which hda been secured by the Albany Elks, to convey their visiting broth ers and their ladies on a sight-seeing trip ;ihout the city. Alter the ladies had all been seated in autos, the men of the party were all provided seats in the remaining ears, and the caravan of cars start ed on the trip through the city, down Lyon to Seventh, west on Sev enth to llroadalbin. north on Broad albin to Fourth, Fourth to Ferry, south on Ferry to Ninth, west to Washington .and' north on Washing ton to First where the autos turned west to the steel bridge. The visitors were taken across the Willamette river to North Albany wdiere they were taken for a short tour of the garden and fruit districtcs lying adjacent to this city, return ing after half an hour's trip, when the entire party was taken to the hand some home of the local lodge at First and J.yon streets where an in formal reception was tendered them and the visitors given a chance to inspect the comfortable and attrac tive home of the Albany Elks. After the reception at the temple, the visitors were again loaded into automobiles and taken back to their' train which was waiting at the de pot. Before the departure of the spe cial, the Medford bunch sang a num ber of catchy booster songs, which won the applause of the big crowd at the depot. due of the songs rendered at the depot here and sung to the tune of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginia," was as follows: "Carry me back to Albany, There's where the hops and corn big potatoes grow. There's where the Antlered Herd are right all the time. There's where the Medford boys will always long to go." Other scngs prepared by the Med ford Elks for their journey to Port land included "Everybody's Doing 1 1." "He Was a Bold. Had Elk." "Old Medford Town." "Pick 'Km Off." "Oh. You Rogue River Peach." "By the Light of the Silvery Moon." anil "Medford." The specical train of eight pulbnan cars was an attrac tive one and on the windows of the coaches were painted big letters in white. "Medford Elks" Special." The bunch also had a piano on board the train for the entertainment of the ladies ami each member wore a beautiful badge which consisted of an I.Iks' head in bronze from which was suspended a pear and ail apple. Many of the visitors traded badges with the Albany boys. C. L. Ueanies. a prominent resident and attorney of Medford ami exalted ruter of the Medford lodge of Elks, when interviewed by the Democrat reporter said: "We cannot say too much of the splendid hospitality and fraternal spirit shown us in Albany this morn ing by the members of Albany lodge No. ,$5 and we will always remem ber our visit in the Hub City. The Albany bunch gave us a splendid re ception here. They were on deck at the depot to give us the "gl.ul hand." accompanied by their splendid baud and plenty of automobiles to take care ot the whole crowd " "We enjoyed immensely the trip about your city and we congratulate the residents of Albany on its pro gressive appearance. The entire Medford bunch was greatly impress ed with your tine homes and lawns, paved streets, and modern business blocks." "Our special train left Medford at 11:45 o'clock Saturday evening and we have had a very pleasant trip so far. stopping for breakfast this morn ing at Eugene where we were roy aliv entertained by the brothers there. Medford lodge No. llnS is still a young order, having 252 members, but we are growing rapidly and will begin the erection soon of a new- BAD WRECKIS NARROWLY i j. AVERTED NEAR LEBANON Engine and Baggage Car of Albany-Lebanon Train is Thrown From Rails. While enroute to Lebanon yester day morning the Lebanon train nut an accident near Lawson, when the engine and baggage-car jumped the track and tore up a large section of the roadbed and delaying the arrive! ofthe train at Lebanon until late last evening. When the train left the track, til.' passengers were excited for several minutes and it was with much dif ficulty that conductor Frank Cum mings restored order. No one was injured by the accident, both pas sengers and crew escaping, their re markable escape from death being due to the low rate of speed of the train. I The accident was caused by the spreading of the rails. The train had made its regular run from Tallman to Brownsville on the Woodburn Springfield line and was backing to Tallman to complete its run to Leb anon when the rails spread. The damaged track was being repaired this morning by a big crew of men and traffic has been resumed. HOBO IS EJECTED TWICE FROM TRAIN AT ALBANY TURNING When the second section of No. 16 pulled in to the union depot at this city this morning, a dirty looking man was ejected with considerable force from the train, having beat his way to Albany in the smoker. He was given into the hands of an employee of the Southern Pacific who was standing on the platform, with the instructions to hold him un til the train had left. The hobo evi dently was in a hurry to get to Port land, however, and as the train start ed and gained speed, be broke away from bis guard and climbed aboard again. The man who was guarding him darted after him and the train was stopped and the man ejected for the second time. After the train had left town he was turned loose. AMERICAN FLAG FLUTTERS INIBREEZE FROM TOP OF TREE IN LOCAL YARD One of the best decorated homes in Albany during the celebration last week was that of Rev. IX H. Leech of the First Methodist church. The parsonage .was gaily bedecked with (lags and bunting and the front porch presented a most attractive appear ance. The feature of Rev. Leech's decora tions, however, was the artistically decorated hemlock tree which stands near the sidewalk in the front yard. The lower branches of the tree had been decorated with bunting, while from the top of the trunk, which is nearly fifty feet from the ground, an American tlag fluttered in the breeze. The unique decoration of the tree attracted much attention from hun dreds of visitors and was a clever and original scheme. Peter Dewall. proprietor of the Al bany rooming house went out to Thomas this morning to look after matters on his farm at that place. Pro', ami M rs. K. I ,. Wilson and Mrs. F ranees Wilson left this morn -ing for Porthnd to attend the iHIks reunion and tour .he PaC'-c coast for the rest t o months. They expect r-'turn to Albany about Septem ber 8th. 4-storv building to cost approximate ly $;o.txt." Klamath Kails lodge Xo. 1247 had a special car attached to the Medford train and was represented by a dele gation of over a hundred members and about twenty ladies. E. B. Hall, delegate to the grand lodge at Port land from Klamath Falls, gave the Democrat reporter the following in terview: "We are all deeply indebted to the Albany F.Iks for the splendid recep tion given us in Albany today and our visit here will always be a pleasant remembrance. You have a beauti ful city and the Klamath Falls peo ple were very favorably impressed with its fine homes, streets, and stores." "We are traveling to Portland in a special car which was attached to the trr.in at Medford last night. Our bulge is number 1247 and we have 200 members. Hunter Savidge, a prominent manufacturer of Klamath Falls, is our exalted ruler and is on the train. Another prominent mem ber of our party is Mrs. E. J. Kubli, of " Jacksonville, mother of K. K. Kubli of Portland lodge Xo. 142. one ot the officers of that lodge who is in chaige of the arrangements for the big reunion next week." Other special trains which passed through Albany yesterday enroute to the Klks reunion at Portland, carried the Los Angeles. Sacramento. Red ding. Stockton and other California lodges and the Eugene lodge passed through Albany at 3:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon on a special train of six coaches. The Albany lodge of Elks will go to Portland by special train next Thursday, accompanied by their own band and the big Dallas band of 35 pieces which played in Albany on the Fourth. ATHLETICS TRIM II Fast Amateur Organization of Mt. Angel Defeated by a Score of 7 to 3. ALBANY PLAYS THROUGH GAME WITHOUT AN ERROR Fair Sex From Northern City Amuse Local Fans by Their Persistent '"Rooting" " The "Athletics" of this city added another scalp to their collection yes terday when they trimmed the wings of the "Angels" by a score of 7 to 3. The local nine played a splendid game without an 'error being chalked up against them, and but one error was made in the entire contest and that one by the visitors. Schanback twirled a fine game for the "Angels" but the Albany boys got ."next" to him in the first inning when they se cured three runs by excellent stick work. Another run was made by Al bany in the second, one in the third, and one in the fourth, the seventh tally being made in the seventh. Bigbee pitched a superior game for Albany and even got the "goat" of Curtis Coleman, third baseman for the "Angels," and recently of the Xew York Americans, who was ex pected to bat Albany's "bush" pitch ers out of the box. Bigbee handed' him a choice little package by strik ing hint out the first three times he came to bat. The fans in the grandstand yester day were much amused by the "root ing" of a number of .Mt. Angel's fair sex who accompanied the team to this city. They applauded all the good plays and "roasted" the players and the umpires when they needed it. And the umpires sure needed a roasting for every two out of three decisions they made were rank and aroused the ire of the local fans. One of them was from Mt. Angel and it is not bis fault that Mt. Angel lost the game the umpire worked hard enough to win a dozen games for Mt. Angel. They even aroused the wrath of the sporting editor of this paper by their extremely .'"raw" decisions, and he would suggest that not more than a dozen umpires be allowed in a game from the visiting aggregation. Of course, we understand that Mt. Angel has been bragging for a week how they were going to go to Al bany and "clean up" a bunch of easy change and we are sorry that the game ended so disastrously, for sev eral hundred dollars of Mt. Angel money will now have to be circu -lated in Albany and it was a shame to take it. The Mt. Angel boys were gentle men. however, and with the exception of the "bouquets" handed the um pires, the game passed without "rag chewing." During the contest yesterday Dave Patterson of this city made three two-baggers in live times at bat and Carson Bigbee made three hits in the same number of times at bat. Lyle Bigbee also made three hits in four times at bat. Following is a sum marv of yesterday's game: R. H. E. Albanv 7 14 0 Mt. Angel : 3 5 1 Batteries Bigbee and Patterson ; White, Sherbaek and White. NORTHWESTERN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION FORMED AT PORTLAND LAST WEEK Dr. Y. R.
