Wooten, who is campaigning in this state against the so.called compulsory educational bill, addressed a crowd in front of the Hotel Patrick Saturday evening when he gave the voters a lot of facts about that measure which it would be well if every voter in the state might hear. Judge Wooten, who Is an ex-congressman as well as a former ambas sador to Mexico, is now a resident of Seattle but he came to tills state to tako part in the campaign because of his deep interest in educational af fairs as affected by this law which, if emoted, will . stablish a state mo. nopoly of education and religion in Oregon. The subject on which Judge ., ooten spoke was "The Government Ownership of Children." "This bill was Initiated by fraud, misrepresentation and misunder standing," the speaker said, "The men who fathered the bill falsely claimed that they had secured 50, 000 signatures to the petitions In one day when, as a matter of fact, after the sec'y of state had rejected the names of those duplicated and illegal, there were ia roun 1 numbers, 16, 000 petitioners for the measure. Tho bill seeks to usurp the rights and duties of parents towards their children, to step between the fathers and mothers of Oregon and their off spring, to disrupt the sacred ties and obligations of domestic life and to in troduce into America tho, present day Russian form of education as practic ed by the Soviet government. If we adopt the Russian idea, the next step, after tunning over our children to the state, would be the government own nershlp of women, as the mothers of these children, and tho rearing of children after the manner ot a poul try yard or stock farm." The speaker alco touched on the economic side of the question show, ing the heavy increase In school taxes that must follow the adoption of such a measure. "The fundamenaol motive of this proposed change in the school laws," tho speaker continued, "is to banish all recognition of religion and moral ity founded on religion from the schools of the state. The stcular press almost unanimously have con demned the bill as un-American and Rer. Hasl&m, who recently accept ed a call to the pastorate of the local Federated church, occupied the pul- Sunday for the first time since hW acceptance of the call. Mr. Has lam preached here several times a few weeks ago, however, and made such a favorable impression on the congregation that a call was tendered him. The Federated Sunday school is making a drive this week for an at tendance of 260 next Sunday as will be seen by an advertisement in this Ufeue of the Herald. The church has been without regular pastor for some time and in creased activity in the work is plan,, ned for the future. SAYS SWAGjGART HORSES BEST William Byers, of Salem, was an interested visitor at the Uodoo last week coming from tho ikima Fair where he had been working his string of racing and educated horses. Mr Byers is a prominent horseman and makes a specialty of i lling show horses at all the big gaieiings on tne coast. He now owns ji sting of six Oregon, Creamotlner. bred and raised by Ben Swaggart, well known Mor. row county stockman, ana he says the Swaggart strain is without doubt the best show horses in the country combining as they do beauty, grace and a high order of intelligence Mr. Byers works his team in a char lot race act that, is a favorite at the big fairs and he is- now about to con tract with one of the big movie con cerns1 in southern California to use them in the production of Ben Hur, which is to be screened this winter Strong Speech aimed at the sacred constitutional right of every citizen to practice th religion of his choice and to have his children instructed in" the funda mentals of such religion in their early years' if he so desires." Judge Wooten also pointed out that no less than seven arguments against the bill have been printed i the Oregon Voters Pamphlet comin from the Lutherans, the Episcopal ians, the Presbyterians, the Advent- ists, the Catholics, the secular prlvae schools' and from a committee of 1 prominent citizens of. Portland repn senting many different denomina tions. The speaker also referred the fact that the bill had its incep ion with a small number of members of the Scottish Rite Degree of tho Masonic order and that many persons have received the Impression that the great Masonic fraternity Is behind the measure. This, he said is a mistake and In proof of that statement said that within the last few days while speaking against the measure at Bak er, La Grande and Pendleton, he was introduced by Scottish Rite Masons at all of those towns. In conclusion Judge Wodten said "Why should the private schools of this state be destroyed?" There has never been any complaint that they were violating the law or teaching anything they ought not to teach, or in any way detracting from the citi zenship and civllizaion of the state. Tne various' religious denominations of this state, including Protestants-, Catholics and Jews have been main taining private schools in which ex actly the same course of instruction is followed that is prescribed by the state and taught in the public schools and the state authorities exercise supervision over that course of in struction both in the private and in the publio schools. But, In addi tion to this curriculum these religious schools teach the form of religious faith and the system of morality bas ed upon it which is believed in by the tounders and patrons' of the school. This is their constitutional right secured to them by the constitution of the United States and by the con. stitution of every state in the union, including Oregon for thirf Is a land dedicated to the great American prin ciple of liberty of conscience and absolute equality and freedom of re ligion among the people." RECORD CROWD WITNESSED FINE DAILY PROGRAM Timely Rains I,aid Dtst and Made Weather Couditidiis Ideal ' Everything seemed to unite in con tributing to the success of the first annual Heppner Rodeo which was held last Thursday, Friday and Sat urday. A fine rain fell Wednesday night effectually puttng the dust out of business and reducing the high temperature that had prevailed for several days previously. The track and arena were in splen did condition and the bucking and race stock were full of pep and ac tion. , The attendance was perhaps the largest attending any similar event in the county a total of more than 4000 people being present durnigj tha meeting. No serious accidents marred the show although the bucking bull and several of the bucking . horses gave tho riders about all they wanted in rough treatment. The bleachors' were crowded to capacity Friday and Saturday and the entire grounds were Surrounded with parked cars. Roundup fans" who were present united in high praise for the manage. ment of the Rodeo as well as for the work done by the committee of judges composed of Hon. R. J. Car sner, of Spray, Champ Wilson, of Monument and Ben Jory, of Hermis ton, all. well known stockmen and square shooters in everything with which they aro connected. Heppner hats are all off to those men as well as to C. W. McNamer, L. V. Gontry and Charlie Latourell, general com mittee in charge, who gave of their time and energy without s'tlnt to make the affair the great success it was. The Dalles City band also came in for much praise for the prize music funished during the 3day meeting. No band ever employed at a simillar event In Heppnor gave as much high grade music for the money. The Dalles band is not lazy but seem to strive to give satisfaction. Very successful dances were given at tho pavilion each evening and a '49 dance with all the trimmin's of bar and gambling gainies attracted mush attention and patronage. This fea ture was under the management of the American Legion post. Tho general opinion in Heppner now is that the Rodeo will be mado an annual event here.
