The Sphinx lias spoken. Ben
Selling, republican nominee for
the L'niteil Slates senate, will sup
port Taft.
Proclaiming himself the pio
neer in the great progressive
movement, the arch-enemy of the
corporations and the friend of the
plain people, Selling finally issued
his ultimatum in which he cour
ageously announced that he
would support the regular repub
lican nominee for president.
While the support of the regu
lar republican nominee for presi
dent by' the regular republican
nominee for United Stales sena
tor is not altogether unprecedent
ed in Hie history of Oregon poll
tics, it required considerable cour
age for Mr. Selling to enlighten
the people as to his iiitcnliirns ; in
fact it would' also have required
considerable courage for him to
have failed to enlighten them.
P.ut without casting any reflec
tions upon the motives of the
Portland stalcsnian, it may 'not be
impertinent to suggest that an in
dorsement of Tafl, which is an in
dorsement of the Puyne-Aldi'ich
tariff, of the numerous presiden
tial vetoes of meritorious tariff
measures anil an indorsement of
the methods employed bv the
C I ... . .i .
i an maciime at tne t. lucago con
vention, is hardly the brand of po
litical soothing syrup which is in
demand by the Oregon progrcs-
Wilson and the Tariff.
"Tariff has been used to foster
special privilege, Ihus giving
trusts their power. There should
be immediate revision, 'unhesitat
ingly and steadily downward.'
C hanges should be made in such
way as will least interfere with
healthful course of business, but
without timidity."
This is (he clear-cut declaration
on the tatilV question made by
(iovernor W ilson in his speech ac
cepting the democratic nomi'iia
tion for president.
Wilson is nothing of a stradler.
Mis views on public questions are
an open book and when he strikes,
he strikes from the shoulder, lie
leaves nothing to inference or
.suggestion.
The Roosevelt pat ty in Iowa is
beginning to realize' what hap
pciicd to il. ( )ne of the resolu
tions adopted by the 1 cs Moines
convention declares that "We
here utter solemn protest against
what has been done in Chicago
and r.ahimoiv in two National
com cut ions."
W hat was done at llaltimoie
was to nominate Woodrow Wil
son for President after repudiat
ing Rvanism and Kclniontisni and
Moronism. Nothing could be
more devastating to the prospects
of a Mull Moose party, and the
Iowa Uoosevellians are justified
in voicing u.jr resentment. The
Colonel feels that way about it
too. "Pop's been piaviug for
Clark."- New Voik World."
The tariff board has been mis
named. It should 1.,- called the
board of procrastination.
Some how or other it is just a
little bit difficult for us to imagine
Moss l'lvnn of Pennsylvania sing
ing, "Onward, Christian Sol
diers." If ymi arc ilissatiMicd with the
community in which you reside,
move to some place w hich is more
agreeable. There is no state law
against the migration of "knockers."
The Policy of Woodrow Wilson.
On Wednesday a delegation of
democrats headed by Senator
Ollic James, of Kentucky, went
to the home of Governor ilson
and officially notified him that he
had been nominated by the dem
ocratic national convention for
president of the United States.
Of course Mr. Wilson knew he
had been nominated, but there is
a rule that nominees for this high
office shall be officially notified ;
so representatives from each
state, and many representatives
from some, met at the governor's
home and informed him that he
was the party choice. Then it
became -necessary, to properly
carry out the program, for the
governor to make a speech of ac
ceptance. This he did, setting
forth his policy and giving an
outline of his plans and ideas.
. livery man in the country
ought to read that speech and
study it. It is a masterpiece. It
denotes the scholar, the states
man. There is not a superfluous
phrase or word in it, placed there
for the purpose of catching votes.
It sparkles with truth a'.id logic,
and is the outpouring from the
heart of a man who feels, be
lieves and means just what he
says. lie strikes straight from
the shoulder at every point under
discussion and never wraps his
words or meaning in mystery. In
every utterance we find the true
ring the ring of pure democratic
doetri'iie, not the palaver of the
cheap politician baiting his polit
ical hook with choice phrases to
catch the unwary, lie throws
out no sop to one class or kind of
men at the expense of another
class or kind. l ie has laid out the
path straight, so that those who
follow may know where the road
leads. They do not go blindly,
who follow Wilson in this light,
for he has made the way plain so
that none shall be deceived. The
speech from beginning to end
savors not of the rantings of the
demagogue. Cold facts are set
forth for us to ponder over. Ev
ery utterance is fearless and
frank, and there is no backing
away from an issue which is to
day confronting the people. This
speech of acceptance must serve
to increase the confidence, already
slnng, which the people have iii
(iovernor Wilson, for it impress
es one with the belief that he
knows only one kind of right, and
that he has only one kind of jus
tice for all kinds of men. The

HAS HAD CHARGE OF SANTIAM
NATIONAL FOREST A YEAR
Efficient Employee of Govern
ment Has Systematized Work
Of Forest Conservation.
SATURDAY
Xelson I McDuff, the efficient su
pervisor of the Santiam Xational For
est, for the past year, has been trans-
terreu to Urants 1'ass where he will
have charge of the Siskiyou Xation
al Forest, and will move to that city
to reside shortly alter the hrst of
September.
.lr. AleDutt and his estimable fam
ily moved to Albany on June 1st,
lyil, when iMr. McDutt was appoint
ed supervisor of the Santiam Nation
al 1 rorest with heaumiarters at this
city, and they have many friends in
the Hub City who will regret to learn
that they are to leve Albany.
AlclJun is one ot the most efficient
supervisors on the coast, and since
assuming charge of the Santiam For
ert has systematized the work so
thoroughly that thousands of dollars
worth of timber have been saved from
destruction by tire this year, for the
government.
One of the most important features
in the conservation of the forests,
which has been installed in the San
tiam forest since McDuff assumed its
supervision, is the telephone system
which covers the entire district, en
abling him to keep in touch with con
ditions in the timbered area night and
day.
Xearly 75 miles of telephone lines
have been constructed in the Santiam
Xational Forest under the supervision
of Mr. McDuff, including two miles
from Klk Lake to Battle Ax Moun
tain, 14 miles from Detroit to Coffm
Mountain, 3U miles from Cascadia to
Fish Lake, seven miles from Fish
Lake to Crescent Mountain, two miles
from Fish Lukt to Smith Krairie, and
12 miles from Nigger lijdjy to Car
penter Mountains, while Ust year in
co-operation with private interests, a
line three miles long w;i construct
ed from Cascadia to the 'lunger's sta
tion above that resort.
Many miles of new trail have also
been constructed in the Santiam For
est since Mr. McDuff has had charge
of this district, and the trails which
have been built for several years have
been cleaned out, permitting an un
obstructed passage. Of the neu
trails, seven miles have been con
structed from (Juartzville to Little
Meadows, six miles up Canyon Creek,
three miles from Detroit toward
(Juartzville. two miles from Xigger
Itaby to the end of lirowder ridge
and four miles along the west side of
I ecr Creek. Altogether about 150
miles of trail was opened up this
spring.
'The lire patrols have been covering
their territory in a thorough manner
all summer and the only tires reporte I
were several small ones caused by
lightning and one caused by campers.
These were extinguished without any
damage to the timber, and within a
lew hours after being discovered.
Mr. McDuff has made several in
spection trips to the Santiam Forest
this summer and recently returned
from a ten days trip, during which he
covered the entire eastern part of the
county tront the northern to the
southern boundary. Sixteen men
have been employed in the Santiam
forest this summer.
Mr. Mel Tuff's new territory in the
southern portion of the state will ex
tend from thclogue River mountains
to the north end of the Siskiyou
mountains in Del Xorte county. Cali
fornia, and from the Pacific ocean to
a point several miles west of (irants

WHITE SHOES WRECKED
WOMAN'S HAPPINESS
Anderson, Tud.. Aug. 8. A pair of
white shoes, for which she paid $1.75,
uul which she hounht for the purpose
of pleasing her new husband, proved
the hiiUlen rock on which the matri
monial career of Mrs. Martin Mona
han of Alexandria was wrecked, ac
cording to the story told by her to
Judge Austiil in divorce court.
Judge Austiil held the same view of
the matter and granted her the di
vorce, together with $100 alimony.
Mrs. Monahan said her husband
made slighting" remarks about the
shoes she had purchased and about
the character of women in general
who wear white shoes, and threatened
to throw these white shoes into the
cook stove.
A separation followed, which re
suited in the divorce of today. Her
maiden name of May Coppock was re
stored to her.
THIS PASTOR HAS MARRIED
FOUR THOUSAND COUPLES
Bristol. Tenn.. Aug. 8. Rev. Alfred
Harrison burroughs of Hristol. now
in his eightieth year, has married up
ward of 4.tHH.l couples in the last 23
years.
"I had no thought of making this a
business." said the minister. "I was
licensed to marry people many years
ago, and when the hrst runaway cou
ple sought me in August of in
the little brick hotel. the Nickels
house. 1 consented to marry them
more as a matter of accommodation
than anything else."
The modest fortune coined out of
this unh)e business by the clergyman
he has invested for the most part in
western mining stock. He had been
advised against them, and thus far
they have yielded him only the most
meagre returns. Most of them have
yielded nothing, but be confidently ex
pects them to make him rich.
Mr. and Mrs. Kd. Wyatt. of Lon
don. Ontario, arrived in Albany last
evening and will spend a few weeks
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. T.
Thrasher.

their collection, but whether they
will do it or not remains to be seen.
Don't forget that the game will be

TOM YOUNG.GIVES HIS SIDE
OF ALTERCATION YESTERDAY
Says He Only Repeated What
He Had Heard Circulated on
the Streets of the City.
As the matter of the assau0 of the
chief of police on me yesterday has
caused some public comment, and as
statements of the matter at variance
with the truth have been made, in
which it is intimated the trouble
arose from rumors started by those
who are not inclined to Rive the chief
credit for his present activity against
the blind niggers: 1 wish to make a
full statement of the facts, which are:
That the rumor and statement of my
self which aroused the ire of the chief,
occurred about three weeks ago, be
fore any of the present raids were be
gun, and while Albany had the repu
tation of being al)out the wettest dry
city in Oregon, and was not directed
against his activity, but was rather
apparently inspired and lent some col
or of truth by his then inactivity.
At that time, three weeks ago to
day, it was reported on the streets
that the chief was pretty well tanked
up the night before, and made1 some
rather bellicose statements in a local
restaurant. 1 had no personal knowl
edge of this and made no statement
that 1 saw him drunk ami had noth
ing whatever to do with the starting
of the rumor, which was a report on
the street that day, but merely re
peated the same as such, to Mr. Tor
bet: who I understand repeated it to
parties who took the chief to task
for such reported conduct and the
then wide-open condition of the city.
The chief came to me that after
noon accompanied by his assistant,
and taking me to one side said he
would brjirg Mr. Torbet to me and
made a threat of physical injury if I
did not eat my words. As 1 hail told
nothing but the truth, to-wit: that il
was reported he was drunk. I refused
to "eat" it. and lie, lias not brought
Mr. Torbet to tne vet.
Shortly at'te rthis the chief began
his spectacular raids on certain blind
piggers. and it may he that this talk
had the effect of causing him to do
something to try and put himself
right. If so, it has accomplished
some good.
' Hut. the chief continued to nurse
a grudge against me and on several
occasions came past my shop, some
times accompanied by his assistant,
and made vile and abusive remarks
directed towards me. evidently with
the intention of picking a quarrel, but
I ignored it an davoided any hostili
ties with him. This continued until
he met me in Burkhart & I.ee's drug
store yesterday while I was getting
omc medicine, and demanded who
told me the rumor. 1 had already
tidd him where it -.is reported to
have occurred, and told him it was
told mp by a friend whom I did not
care to drag into the matter. He
then followed me to the rear door and
deliberately assaulted me. As the
chief was on duty fully armed and
with his insignia of authority on his
breast, I refrained front doing more
than ward otf his blows as best I
could.

L. E. Hamilton also takes an opti

business conditions. His statement
was as follows:
"Our business shows a good, steady
healthy growth over last year. Col

during the same period in 1911 and
the crop prospects and local business
conditions warrant us in expecting
