Introduced by Chairman lla-lu-y of the Democratic Slate Cen tral committee, as a man of the "plain people," Dr. Harry Dane clearly delined the issues of the campaig'M of ') in an address delivered al Portland Thursday evening. Dr. Dane made no attempt to "straddle." lie met the issues stptarely ami no one who attend ed the monster demonstration in favor of ( iovernor Wilson could ,iicstion his sincerity. The address of I Jr. Dane was in part as follows: "lin'clly, I want to bring before you (lie principles f which I stand and on which I shall make my campaign. I shall conclude by asking your support. "The democratic parly, as a party, although nol al all times true to the principle, was found ed upon the greatest principle of any pat ty of any age in any coun try of the world a principle preached by the blessed Savior, written by Thomas Jefferson, fol lowed by Abraham Lincoln anil for three successive campaigns campaigned upon by William Jennings llryan. 1 1 was the sim ple message of equal rights to all anil special privileges to none. It is a simple remedy which will cure all of the evils from which America is sulTcring. "We have a tariff system which reaches its hand into the cupboard and takes the last crust front the children of the poor; which grinds down labor and has become useless to the country a detriment to its prosperity; which has promised to support labor, but has crushed labor; which has sold the products of its factories in Kuropc for 50 per cent of the prices for which they were sold in the fanning communities in America." "Never withi'ii my memory was there greater need for the princi ples (or which we stand nor a bet ter opportunity for the democrats to put those principles to the front ami save this country front the danger which now threatens it. ! "We now have oodrow Wit-! son standing upon the best plat-! form that was ever presented to i the Aiucnea'ii people, to carry those measures into execution We are in good position with the American people today and we are to be congratulated. It will be our fault it we fail this time and if we fail to do our duly un der the circumstances we will suf fer defeat ami rightfully we will go down." The Political Law of Heredity. It was only a lew years ago that men inherited their political beliefs in the same maimer that they inherited many of their vices and virtues. A republican father in Pennsylvania invariably reared a republican son, and the olV spring of a democratic sire in Kentucky was naturally and h'g-i Dally a democrat. Hut times and Conditions have' changed. Not only the sons, but ' in.iiiv id' the lather.- hac begun' Li iptestion this limc-honorcd law i of heredity when applied to poht-j ical and religious belief-, and: hac been doing a little thinking all ag political lines for them-! selves. j This nationwide breaking! away from family tradition hasj brought about a new era in poli-; tics. The voter is no longer chained to the political chariot of; bis father, when once convinced that his site erred in judgment or! that conditions have changed j since the noininati.n and election j of Abraham Lincoln. i Parties are man made not God made, and sensible men nave al last arrived at the couclusi'n that political organizations are cursed with the same vices that exis't in the men who created the organization, or who are directing its policy. o The Jewel of Consistency. "It would have been better for them, had they nominated Wil son on the first ballot." This was the statement given out by Colonel Roosevelt when the Jialthnore convention was ap parently in the state of a hope less deadlock, and at a time when the nomination of a reactionary seemed extremely probable. Jiclicving that Wilson, the pro gressive, was eliminated and that .Murphy would ultimately dic tate the nomination of a candi date w hose record would not bear close scrutiny, Roosevelt thus laid the foundation for a eulogy of Wilson and a charge that his defeat had been brought about by an infamous alliance between Wall Street and Tammany Hall. The Colonel was shrewd enough to realize that the nomi nation of a reactionary would bring to his new-born party, thousands of willing and capable nurse maids, but he was not shrewd enough to hold his tongue until such a time as .Mr. .Murphy had driven the last nail in the cof fin of the New Jersey governor. In view of ICx-President Roose velt's determination to stand as the candidate of a third parly, awl Ins more recent repudiation of (iovernor Wilson, the following questions quite naturally suggest themselves to the minds of the progressive voters: Jf Wilson's nomination was de sirable oi the first ballot, was it not equally desirable on the forty sixth or forty-seventh? Why does the Colonel scatter progressive literature with one hand and strike a progressive candidate with the other? Unless the Colonel is willing to enter a plea of "guilty" to the charge of inconsistency, these questions must be fully and free ly answered, o The following pertinent ques tion from the editorial page of the Kugetie Daily Guard is com mended to the attention of Ben Selling: "The Uoosevclt republican par ty has been formally launched in Oregon, and the question is where does Ken Selling, candidate for L'niled Stales senator, stand? The senatorship is a political office, and the people have a right to know whether the candidate is a progressive or a stand-patter. Selling was at one time chairman cf the Tit ft campaign committee in this stale but since the Chicago convention has said that he was undecided as to his position. The voters, however, will insist an knowing definitely." According to statistics compil ed by an Iowa railroad official the value of farm lands in sixteen counties traversed by the Omaha railroad has increased $1-1.0.? perj acre during the past two vears. The same table places the average! value id' farm lands in Iowa at SJlHo'X per acre. Is it any wonder that thou-1 sands id' young Iowa farmers find it impossible to acquire title to a few acres of mother earth in the middle western states? Here in Oregon where the cli mate and soil conditions are more favorable, the young man from I the east will find a paradise, where thrift and industry are re warded, and where the prices of land are within the reach of the man of moderate means.

ONCE PULLMAN PORTER; NOW OWNS FORTUNE F.rorkton, July 19. From a Pull man porter to one of the bigges property owners in the city in live years is the jump which Watt Terry a negro, has made. When papers pjissed torlav conveving to Terry the famous Checkerton and Chesston apartments, valued at $150,00), the colored man became the owner of $500,000 worth of the choicest prop erty in the city. Terrv has had a meteoric career, and where he once made S7 a week he is now making hundreds, Com ing here from his home in Virginia when a young man. he took a posi tion as coachman for a well known physician.

Nutting. it)() Seventeen out of 19 for Wilson is a straw with a backbone to it. If ever a man was elected to the presidency before hand it is Wilson. Can three or four months campaign ing change things? The man who wears glasses is sure to have a busy life, as considerable of his time is spent wiping them. Please give us better roads in and otit of Albany. It will help paint the spokes. Just about everybody seeing things through the valley says Albany looks the best to them. It is all right now, and its prospects are gilt-edge. A Eugene man says rents in Al bany are hardly half as high as there. Expect the Hub will get there in due time, when it gets big like Eugene. The public dance continues to be a public dance just the sa-me, as any one can get an invitation. The city council will have to try again. It takes the women for athletics when it comes to a bargain sale. They can jump all over a bargain. The devil often gets a man six days in the week while the good Lord has to be content with one. One can sec almost anything he wants to in a cloud agate, and it is about the same with human conduct. The man who gets there in the world doesn't have .any time to be discouraged. This week has seen a varietv of weather, none of your hum-drum Los Angeles climate here. Some one will have to stay at home during the summer and run things. People unable to get away for a vacation trip should take some kind of recreation at home, offering a change, which is about what an out ing is. The fool-killer needs to strike Pan's at once. A new piece of etiquette there is to bow three times when you meet a lady. Common conventionali ties should be made simpler rather than more complex. Marty O'TooIe. the great ball pitch er, gives some rules for success: Don't drink intoxicating liquors, don't smoke, at least cigarettes: don't stay out all night. If good for base ball players the rules are good for young men generally who wish to get along in the world. A new law in Hamburg is the pro hibition of hat pins on street cars, unless protected. Albany has a pat ent that does the business, a Gil christ cap. A big sign in Halsey reads: "Hal sev is the heart of the Willamette Valley, 4 hours from Portland. ship more hogs, sheep and cattle than any station between Portland and Roseburag." A tine town all right. A Xew York murder is laid to the modern stvle of women's ilresinir. the extreme, showing distinctly tlie form, ami a big discussion is going on ail over the country. The aver age mind evidently needs a better man at the rudder. The Ladies Home Journal has be gun a campaign for more practical work in the. public schools. As Ci per cent quit before the high school is reached it is certainly a problem worth while. Albany can stand thought on the subject. Even under the present system the practical, sen ible teacher, can do much to keep pupil oiug. without the common discouragement. often increased by incompetent instructors. Yon don't have to go away for pret ty sights. Stand on the steel bridge at this city any evening as the sun sets. It is said there is no buzz nuic i louder than that of the auto bee.

COL ASTOR'S LAST E OF BRIDGE Dollar Won from Titanic Victim Goes to the Womens' Fund For Memorial. Washington, July 20. The last debt paid by Col. John Jacob Astor i will help to build a great memori-il j in Washington to the men who died jon the Titanic. ' Mrs. Archibald Forbes, a well I known Xew York society woman, is the person to whom the debt was ipaid. She has forwarded to the of- iices of the Women's Titanic Me j mortal in this city the dollar bill that I was handed to her by Colonel Astor 'when the party of which they were members settled up for the last bridge I game played in the social saloon bc- fore the onrushiug Titanic plunged I into an iceberg. Mrs. Forbcs's letter, which was for warded to Mr. John Hays Hammond by Mrs. Thomas J. O'Brien, wife of j the American Ambassador to Rome, sets forth the tact that the inclosed ; dollar represents the only money she j had ever won at cards. She said that j when Col. Astor handed over the 'money he made some jesting remark ! about the luck of beginners. Mrs. : Forbes's luck held, for a few hours later s h e w as a f 1 oa t in a 1 i f eboa t , j while Col. Astor and the other gen tlemen of the party had gone down with the ship. HE HAS 10 FAST San Francisco, July 20. Explaining thai he felt fatigued and weak, lien jamin Lucas, 554 Broadway, walked into tile Central Emergency hospital late last niht and asked for. X. G. Morgan to sound his heart with a stethescope. After looking at the cmauciated figure and questioning him, the phy sician tnkl Lucas that what he needed was a big meal. "1 haven't eaten in three weeks upon the advice I got from tile spirit world," Lucas said. "The spirits told me not to let food touch my mouth until the coating disappeared from my tongue." Lucas refused to have food pressed upon him or to accept medical atten tion. Me left the hospital saying he would trust to the spirit promptings. Twenty Tears Ago Ex-County Treasurer W. E.
